Yuki sat beside Tohru's hospital bed, still awake at 12:00 midnight. Earlier that day, she had cried so hard with her injury still in bad shape, that she had passed out from weakness. He had carried her into her bed, careful not to let her touch against his chest so he wouldn't transform. Uo-chan and Hana-chan had stopped by for their daily visit, but were once again greeted by Tohru's blank, sleeping face. He assured them that she'd be there to greet them by tomorrow. Now, he was sitting in a chair, next to Tohru's bed, wondering if he could really keep that promise. Would she really be better by tomorrow, with all the stress she had on her? His eyes shifted to meet her pale face, and he lost all the hope he had left. He brushed away a stray piece of hair off her face, and cupped her cheek in his head. "Honda-san.." he whispered, "I should have been the one to save you… I'm sorry." Her eyes twitched, as if in response to his words. His hand slide from her face, down to the arm rest. He looked over to Kyo, who still hadn't woken up yet. The doctor said that not even he knew how Kyo would be. He was stable at the moment, but anything could happen."Stupid cat.." despite the insult he just made, he smiled sadly. "With you being hurt, it's making Honda-san worse.." He closed his eyes, a single tear flowing down his cheek. 'It should have been me.. It should have been me.'


"Kyo-kun?" she yelled out to the darkness. She looked around her, but saw nothing.

"Tohru…" a voice yelled, from somewhere faraway. Tohru ran towards the voice. She didn't want to be alone.

"Where are you?" She shouted, but no one answered her. She kept running in the same direction. After a few seconds, she grew exhausted, and she had no clue as to why. She dropped to her knees, out of breath. All of a sudden, she heard a grunting noise right in front of her. "..K-Kyo-kun!" She reached out in front of her, and felt a piece of cloth, along with human skin. "Kyo-kun, is that you?" She crawled closer to the person, and felt for it's arm. She traced down it's arm to it's hand, and felt beads. Immediantly, she knew her suspicions were correct. "Kyo-kun! Are you okay!" She traced her fingers up his body, to his face. She felt something wet. 'Tears?' she thought. Before she could investigate further, a light flashed on from somewhere close. Her eyes took a few seconds to adjust, but when they did, she wished that the light had never come on. There was Kyo, right in front of her, laying on the ground, covered in blood. "No…!" She gasped. Her breath caught in her throat, making her unable to say anything further.

"It's all your fault.." someone said behind her. She looked behind her, and saw Akito. "It's your fault he's dead." Tears spilled down Tohru's face, as more of the zodiac family appeared from thin air.

"Onee-san.. Onee-san! Why!" Kisa accused.

"How could you Tohru!" cried a sobbing Kagura.

"And to think I thought you were sweet." Hatori said, quite disgusted. The others joined in, all blaming it on her.

"I'm sorry!" Tohru yelled through tears. "I'm sorry!"


Tohru awoke with tears in her eyes. She looked around frantically, afraid she might not have been dreaming, but to her relief, it was only in her mind. She wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked at the sidetable next to her. She pushed some cards away, and looked at the clock. It was one in the afternoon.

"Ah! Honda-san!" said a familiar voice. "You're awake." Yuki smiled, coming through the door. "Kagura and I are still here. Kisa went to school today. We just got back from eating lunch, would you like us to get you something?" Kagura walked in next to him, and forced a smile at Tohru.

"They have medley soup.." She said, quietly.

"Oh, that sounds wonderful. Thank you!" Tohru put on smile, but honestly, she wasn't feeling very cheery. The two left the room. Tohru looked to her side. The curtain still hadn't been fixed, but it had been removed from the room. Kyo was still there, on the bed, sleeping. Yuki peeked his head in the door.

"Oh, and don't try and get up! You have to get your strength back first." He smiled, then left once again. As much as Tohru hated to disobey him, or anyone for that matter, she just had to see him. She pulled back the covers, and pushed herself off the bed. Slowly, she stood up, remaining there to gain her balance, so she wouldn't fall like last time. After a few seconds, she stepped forward, grabbing onto the sidetable for support, and carefully stepped across the floor to Kyo's bed. She reached out her hand to touch his face. She could see his injuries more cleary now. From what she could see, he had a brace around his back, a splint on his left arm, and scars all over his face. She caressed one of the scars across his forehead. She tried not to cry, but she failed. Tears spilled from her eyes, onto his chest.

"Honda-san?" Yuki came in the room, holding a few cups of juice, probably for the three of them. Kagura came in behind him, holding a tray of soup and utensils. Tohru turned her head to look at them, not bothering to hide her tears anymore.

"Is he… is he going to die?"

"No.. Just a few injuries here and there. He's okay. He should wake up any day now." He had to lie. Even the doctor said that she shouldn't be put through so much stress with her body still weak. Still, he smiled to assure her that he was being truthful. How could he tell her that his back was just barely broken, and his shoulder was dislocated? And how could he tell her that there were stitches under that brace, because his spleen had been injured and bleeding? How could he tell her that he may never wake up? That he might actually die. He couldn't, and if he did, she would be devastated and never get better. No one would want that, especially Kyo.

"Now… we should get you back into bed." Yuki put down the three cups onto a table in the back of the room, and walked over to Tohru. He put one hand on her waist to support her, and help her turn around. She didn't resist, until she heard a noise. It was soft at first, but the second time, she knew she heard it. She spun around to face the bed.

"Kyo…Kyo-kun!"

Kagura gasped, her grasp on the tray loosening, and both the tray and the soup fell to the floor with a crash.
