Yuki shouted, "Tohru! Wait!"

Tohru didn't look back. Yuki suddenly lost her so he stopped running and walked. After noticing that no one was following her, Tohru ran faster toward her mother's grave. She fell down to her knees and cried on her mother's grave.

There was someone approaching her. The person was wearing a black cloak and was carring a black umbrella. She looked at the person. It was Hana, her best friend.

"Tohru…" Hana said.

Tohru flung herself and cried on her lap. Hana dropped her umbrella. "I just got back from my trip and now, I see you crying your eyes out. I better get you dry or you'll get sick"

When they found a waiting shed, Tohru told Hana everything. After hearing everything, Hana asked, "Do you love Yuki now?"

Tohru answered, "I felt something for him. Now, I just don't know what to feel."

Hana nodded. "I see… Tohru, all I could say is that you have to face it. Search your heart to know who is the one you love, Yuki or Kyou. I can't help you with this one. But I'm by your side whatever happens." Hana stood up. "Be brave, Tohru. Good-bye." She walked away and disappeared.

Kyou looked for Yuki and Tohru all over the forest. He can't find them so he went out of the forest and wandered into the path. He walked there until he was the road. Walking aimlessly on the road was Kagura. Then, he saw a speeding car coming.

Kyou ran and shouted, "KAGURA!"

Kagura looked at him but it was too late. The car hit Kagura. Kyou ran even faster. Seeing that someone is coming, the driver ran away.

Kyou got there and saw that she was injured badly. She was trying to open her eyes. "Kyou…"

Kyou told her soflty. "Don't speak. I'll take you to Hatori at once." He carried her and ran as fast as he could. Seeing that Kyou was carrying her all the way to the main house, Kagura smiled and said weakly, "Thank you, Kyou. I love you." She closed her eyes.

Kyou heard her. He saw her close her eyes. "Kagura, don't play jokes like that with me at this time. Open your eyes, Kagura."

She won't open her eyes so Kyou ran even faster. He banged the door at the main house when he got there. Carrying an umbrella, Momiji opened the door. "Kyou, what are you…" Then, he saw Kagura. "What happened?"

Kyou said, "Is Hatori still awake? He has a patient here."

Momiji nodded and let them in. He led them to Hatori's place as fast as he could. "Hatori! You have a patient here."

Hatori opened the door and saw Kyou and Kagura, wet. Momiji said, "Hatori, Kagura is sick."

Hatori took his patient from Kyou. He laid her down on the floor. "Momiji, get my things. Kyou, tell me exactly what happened to her."

Momiji got back fast and gave Hatori his tools. Kyou narrated the story to Hatori while he examined Kagura.

"Kagura was hit by a car?" Momiji asked surprisingly.

Kyou nodded. "I tired to warn her but it was too late."

After a few more examinations, Hatori closed his eyes and shook his head. "Kyou," he started. "I'm sorry but you're already too late."

Kyou asked, grabbing Hatori by his shirt, "Why? Why am I already too late?"

Hatori answered weakly. "She's dead."

Kyou let go of Hatori. Kyou ran to Kagura. He screamed, "Kagura, wake up! Kagura, this is no time for jokes. Wake up!" He was starting to cry.

Momiji was already crying. Hatori called Kagura's parents. He also called the rest of the cursed Soumas – Shigure, Ayame, Hatsuharu, Kisa, Hiro, Rin, Kureno, and Ritsu.

They came inside his office after a few minutes. Kagura's mother was crying hysterically. Her father was blaming Kyou for this. The others gave no reaction but felt grief and sympathy.

Kyou pitied himself. "It's all my fault."

Hatsuharu tapped his shoulder. Kyou looked at him. Then, Hatsuharu punched him. "What were Kagura's exact last words?"

"She said 'I love you'" Kyou was rubbing his cheek that Hatsuharu punched.

Hatsuharu said, "You know, you're lucky to hear those last words. Stop pitying yourself, you idiot! It will be such an insult to her, seeing you blame yourself. It was an accident."

Kyou shook his head. "It wasn't an accident. I shouldn't have yelled at her. I shouldn't have said all those mean things to her." Kyou started to run out of the main house. Everyone watched him go.

He ran through the rain, crying, saying, "Kagura, I'm sorry!"

(Background Music as Kyou ran: "Ironic" by Alanis Morrisette)

And isn't it ironic... don't you think

A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day

It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take

Who would've thought ... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you

Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out

Helping you out….

angelraine: Well, what did I tell you? This chapter is sadder than the last one. I think this is the saddest chapter of this story. But there are more chapters to come and I assure you, it isn't sad. Please review… :D
