Eventually, Shia found her way out of the forest. But although she was okay, this sickening feeling in her stomach wouldn't go away. She couldn't quite place a name on this feeling.

Approaching the back of the Sohma house, she spotted Kyou atop the roof, staring down at her. She smiled at him, but he obviously wasn't returning the gesture. Something was wrong. Racing inside, she let her ebony hair flow behind her.

Opening the door, she noticed she had come in at dinnertime. The sweet scents of takoyaki filled the air and she couldn't help but grin. Tohru beamed as she walked in.

"Shia-san! I'm so glad you're okay! We were so worried!" spouted out Tohru as she pulled Shia into a hug.

"Shia-san…did anything happen to you while you were away?" Yuki asked, with concern in his voice.

"Well…I ran into Hatsuharu-sama. He is very kind. He helped me find my chopsticks and my way back," Shia replied.

"Where is Haa-kun? Normally he would've come in for something to eat. Did he go home?" Shigure queried.

"I…I think he did, but I'm not sure." Her voice was shaking furiously.

"Shia…did anything happen to Haa-kun?" Shia couldn't take it anymore. Her entire body became hot, and she ran from the others up onto the roof. Kyou was up there, and she thought he might understand.

Up on the rooftop…

"Kyou-kun…I hope I'm not going to disturb you," she stated. He glanced at her, his eyes heavy with exhaustion. She stood there for a moment, debating whether or not to go back down.

"It's okay. You won't bother me," he responded. Shia smiled, and sat down next to him.

"Kyou-kun…is something wrong?"

"I've just been down lately." Shia nodded.

"Well…would you mind if I asked you a question?" He shook his head no. "Can you describe to me…some of the human emotions so that I might better understand them?"

"What are you talking about?" Realizing she had said something abnormal, she began shaking her hands rapidly.

"Forget I asked." She sighed, looking at the forest. "I hope he's okay…"

"Who?"

"Hatsuharu-sama. He got into a fight with somebody I know." An awkward silence fell over the two of them. Did he understand?

Mit: AHAHAHAHA! Romance! But between who?
