Sorry! I spent 2 hours writing this chapter and then I lost it... so I hadta rewrite it... stupid computers.

Chapter 18 – Day 8 Part 1 – Love Life and Medical Conditions

I stepped slowly up to my room. Closing the door behind me I sat at my desk. I took out some paper and a pen and I began to write a letter to Tohru.

Dearest Tohru,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am sorry. I am so sorry Tohru. This is my fault. So... if you wish, after this is over and you find yourself walking away from the border of the land of the dead, we may go our separate ways. You... do not have to be part of the Sohma's anymore. It is my dearest wish that you make yourself happy with a nicer place and nicer people then us. Please consider it...

Love,

Yuki Sohma

I closed the letter in an envelope and held it in my hands. They began to quiver and I felt a tear slide down my face. I envisioned her glowing face the day we went to Ayame's Shop, and then I saw how pale she had become when she was sick. It made my head spin; she had done that for us. Awful. It was my fault... all my fault. She... shouldn't marry me. I felt myself fading, fast... I couldn't breath; I fell to the floor gasping.

((Authors POV))

Shigure heard a thump and went upstairs to investigate, he found a fainted Yuki. Immediately afterward, Hatori had been called.

Tohru yawned; it felt good to not be in a hospital anymore. She eased her fragile self from bed and immediately the house maid was there to help her. The maids name was Tara. Tohru had become friends with her. Tohru refused to sit around and do nothing so she helped Tara some.

"Saki and Arisa went out this morning, Miss." Tara said bowing her head to Tohru.

Tohru nodded holding out her hand, she still needed help standing, she was getting weaker by the day, but that only boosted her confidence, if she was weaker she was closer to being cured and Yuki coming for her.

"Miss Tohru, this letter came for you this morning." Tara handed her an envelope.

Tohru opened it and read it, tears coming to her eyes.

"Is it from your fiancé Miss?" Tara asked. Tohru nodded and Tara held out her hand for the letter, Tohru gave it to her. Tara read it and gasped, "Oh! Miss Tohru..." Tohru wanted to cry, anything... Yuki was gonna give away his happiness for her. She needed to sit, Tara brought her a chair, and "Saki and Arisa will be back shortly. I'll make breakfast, please rest.

Saki and Arisa came home to find a tearful Tohru, a solemn Tara and some uneaten breakfast. Saki and Arisa found and read the letter. Saki pondered it and Arisa got pissed, "Good for nothing Prince..."

"No. Even all the way here, I feel his electric waves. Now they are solemn, he is having an asthma attack, but all he cares about is how he hurt Tohru. His waves... are different then what they were, they've changed."

"What? Is that even possible Hana?" Arisa asked.

"He... is worried about me? I won't give up on him, I can't!" Tohru said standing then almost fainting into Tara's arms from exhaustion.


((Yuki's POV))

I reawakened in Hatori's office and before I could speak a coughing spasm overcame me. Then my voice was clear and I spoke, "Hatori... why?"

"You had an attack."

"Yea..."

"I don't know why, but I'm sure you do."

"I..."

Hatori shushed me and gave me a shot, my eyes grew heavy. I thought of Tohru and I felt bad. She was so much worse off, and all I could do was sit here. I reawoke again later in the afternoon and found a letter from Tohru near me. I opened it.

(A/N: Express mail... or email printed into envelopes... either way the mail was quick...)

Dear Yuki,

I don't want to leave you. I love you, and I took this curse upon myself. Please do not fear for my sake, please do not hurt yourself. Hana and Uo have given up on you; they want to take the next flight to Japan. I stopped them, please be safe Yuki.

Love,

Tohru Honda-Sohma

I began to cry, tears formed on my face. I sobbed, my shoulders sagged. She would always love me...

Tohru smiled at her eager friends, "It'll be okay. You won't need to goto Japan."

Tohru looked around the backyard. Uo's house was huge. At least 15 acres of land. The main family lived in the mansion but Uo had them make a special Japanese style house toward the back of the yard; it was a two story 7 bedroom house. It had a lovely garden and the maid Tara was assigned to it.

Uo quieted down, "Whatever you want Tohru. Just be careful."

"That boy has weird waves about him, I feel tears. He is crying for you Tohru." Hana said. Tears came to Tohru's eyes, "He loves me very much, that he does..."
