Crazy Love

"Love can disappear as fast as it comes; just like the melting of snow"

Chapter 5: Bachelor Number 1 or Bachelor Number 2

Tohru was still crying, she didn't know where to go. She knew for a fact she didn't want to go home right now, it would just be too much to deal with. This thought angered Tohru because she always ran away from her problems. But this time would be different, there were two people who would make Tohru face her problems whether she wanted to or not.

Some how Tohru ended up at Uo's apartment, and Hana just so happened to be there; what a coincidence. Uo looked at Tohru sternly, and finally spoke.

"Wow Tohru, this is the first time I think I've ever been disappointed in you." Uo expected this to make Tohru cry, and it did.

"I'm…sorry Uo, I r-really am, m-maybe it would be best if I left the Sohma's and went to live with my grandpa." Tohru couldn't bear to look at Uo, because Uo never told her that she was disappointed in her before.

"Tohru, look at me, I know you think running away would make things better, but it won't…for anyone. You have to face Kyo and Yuki sometime, and let them know how you feel about each of them. How do you feel about Kyo?" Uo-chan asked Tohru hoping she would say something.

"Yes…maybe…I don't know. I just don't know what it's like to be in love, so I don't know if what I'm feeling is love, or just a feeling." Tohru sighed; she had never felt this depressed before, not even when she found out her mother was dead.

This time Hana spoke, "When we were at school and Kyo ran off, your aura, it was indecisive, but was clearly yearning for Kyo's love. That's why it is difficult for me to interpret your aura. Usually red means anger, but in your case it means love. I'm not saying you are in love with Kyo, I'm just saying at least you aura is." That was all Hana said; that was all she need to say for Tohru to realize what she needed to do.

"You're right! But to face these problems I first need to talk to Shigure! I know he can help me!" Tohru brightened back up to her usual optimistic self.

"Uhm, Tohru I don't think that's what Hana was trying to tell you. And anyways isn't he that pervert who writes those dirty comics?" Uo was trying to get through to Tohru, but it was no use; once Tohru has her mind made up about something, you just have to let her go.

Tohru was off back to her home; where she belonged. Once she got there though, it was empty; Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, not even Momiji was there. "Great, now there's no way I can talk to Shigure about Kyo and especially about Yuki with what happened to him.'' Tohru slowly turned to head upstairs to her room; after all, it was getting late. That's when a tall, mysterious, dark figure appeared.

"Boo."

"Aahhh! Burglar! Stalker! Help!" Tohru was fussing, trying to get away when she realized it wasn't a burglar, stalker, or anyone generally bad.

"Tohru don't hurt me! It's Shigure, me, the handsome house owner?" Shigure came out of the darkness and Tohru could finally see it was really him.

"Oh thank goodness it's you. I was almost sure it was a stranger." Tohru took a deep breath trying to calm down after being so shook up.

"A lot has happened today huh? Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Shigure quickly changed gears from goofing off to being serious.

"Well, actually there is, it mostly deals with Yuki…"

"Hmm…I see, you want to ask a more experienced Zodiac member if there's a way to you know…do it…without him changing into rat. Correct?" Honestly, it baffled even Tohru at how he could be so perverted at a time like this.

Yet, neither Shigure nor Tohru realized someone was in the hallway over hearing all of this.

"Shigure! That's not what I wanna know! I wanna know why Yuki didn't transform when he hugged me today!" Tohru was so frantic to finally get this out, that she didn't realize that Kyo was in the hall and overheard her say everything.

Kyo stepped in, head down, and walked towards the fridge.

"Kyo! So you're one of Ms. Honda's bachelors huh? Well, why don't you step right up to talk to the young-

"Get off of me Shigure. Now. And don't worry; Yuki's fine Tohru. You know why? Because he's in love with you and you're in love with him and that means you negate his transformation. Oh and just so you know, if you change your mind about being in love with him it will reverse the negation. Instead he will stay a rat forever. I just thought I'd let you know that before I leave for good, I'll be gone by morning." Kyo took his drink and headed up to his room.

When Tohru heard what Kyo said, it wasn't Yuki that caused her pain, it was how broken she left Kyo. Tohru grabbed at her heart, the pain at seeing Kyo say he's never coming back hurt Tohru the most, not even the whole transformation jumble went through her mind during this time.

"Kyo…you can't leave me, not now…not ever." Tohru whispered softly aloud, loud enough for just Shigure to hear.

"So, it looks like you've finally figured it out." Shigure smirked.

"Wha…?"

Tohru just realized something within her heart that was always there, she just never knew what it meant until now.

Well, do you think chapter 5 was good? I hope you did. I mean I've really enjoyed writing this; it's been an emotional rollercoaster of a story hasn't it? I know this chapter was pretty serious, but I think I added enough humor to it to even the story out a bit. I kind of left it on a tiny cliff hanger, but the next chapter is going to be pretty funny…hint-hint during the time Tohru goes to talk to Kyo, a rampaging female boar comes out of nowhere…what's that all about? Anyways hopefully see you in the next chapter! And I know it only took a couple of days to get this chapter up, but that's because it's the weekend and I'm not very busy; except for a basketball game I have. Well don't expect the next one up for at least another week. And I beg of you, please write reviews for me! I can only get better with nice criticism and the occasional, "Your story is great!" kind of comments. (Again, I don't anything but my story.)
