Arriving home, Tohru looks up the stairs, hesitating for a moment before continuing on to the kitchen. Kyou noticed this and sighs quietly, but he wasn't annoyed. He could tell she was still worried about Yuki, Even though Haru had skipped the last of school to come see him, Assuring her he would Make Yuki feel better.

"Kyou, What would you like to eat?"

She calls from the kitchen, the sound of dishes being moved and used echoing her words. Walking into the kitchen, He smiles at her. She was wearing a cute Apron, and had pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail to avoid getting it dirty, but somehow she had gotten Flour on her cheeks already.

"What are you making?"

He asks her, not really caring what she made, seeing everything she did make was delicious. Motioning on his own cheek, he nods at her to wipe it off.

"Ah… um, I was going to make pancakes… is that ok?"

Tohru smiles, wiping the flour off her cheek. Kyou Nodded leaning against the doorframe and watching her for a moment. Stepping up behind her, he pulls his sleeves up and blushes.

"What do you want me to help with?"

Looking at Yuki, Haru watches him with a slight sad expression on his face. Down stairs he could hear murmurs, which meant Tohru was home, so it was after 4. Yuki had cried into his arms till he fell asleep exhausted and slept soundly for the past few hours, not even stirring once. Stroking his fringe out of his eyes, Haru touches Yuki's shoulder, shaking him gently to wake him up.

Stirring awake, Yuki Opens his eyes slowly and breathes in slowly. It smelt like Haru, and then he remembered.

"…Ha… ru…."

He murmurs. Haru's arms were securely around him, cradling Yuki into his embrace.

"Mmmm…. Does your head still hurt?"

Haru asks gently, shifting his arms from Yuki and starts to get up. He was glad Yuki was able to sleep so soundly, Not knowing how often Yuki had nightmares, but to be bed ridden all day in a weak mental state wouldn't do much for his health.

Feeling the warmth that Haru had kept him in go cold, Yuki's eyes fling open and he panics.

"Haru…!"

Yuki almost shrieks, trying to get up quickly. Effortlessly, Haru steps back to Yuki and catches him as he slipped over.

"Oi… relax, I'm going to get you a drink and something to eat"

Laying Yuki back down. Haru pulls the futon back up and looks down at Yuki. He seemed so frail. I guess Haru never really understood what pain and pressure Yuki had gone through after all. Most of the Jyuunishi were scared of Akito, but never had to face him the way Yuki had.

"I'm here now Yuki… I'm just gonna go for a bit, but I'll be right back…"

Haru murmurs quietly, feeling like he was talking to a little kid, But Yuki just smiled and Nodded. Smiling slightly, Haru nods. Yuki didn't seem to care.

'I guess… Yuki is finally getting the peace of mind he's needed for so long'

Shutting the door behind him, Haru winces. Just the thought of Yuki hurting that much, cut deep inside Haru's heart. For a moment, Haru Glared at the wall - his "Black Haru" personality surfacing.

'Korosu yo ne….'
