Chapter 3 : Tears of Unwanted Grief
Tohru and Hatori rode in silence, as they made their way to Shigures house. ' Please Yuki-kun, dont die, please.' Tohru silently prayed, her hands trembling. Hatori remained a quiet statue, his only movement were in his hands and eyes. Soon they drove into Shigures driveway, quiet releif spreading throughout the car. Shigure stood on the pouch, Kyo standing next to him, worried expressions chirstening their faces. Hatori opened the door for Tohru, as Shigure and Kyo silently watched. Muttering a silent thanks to Hatori, Tohru walked to the pouch, her feet heavy from exhaustion. Kyo helped her up the stairs, grabbing her arm gently. "Hey, is everyone okay?"asked Kyo, as he seated Tohru inside. Hatori shook his head, lowering his gaze to the floor. "Yukis in a coma, but Harus fine."said Hatori, seating himself onthe pouch.
"So what happened exactly?"asked Shigure, as he carried tea out to them. Hatori took the cup, sipping its hot contents."Were not sure yet." explained Hatori, tiredly rubbing his eyes. Tohru sat on the pouch, blankly staring at the sky, her mind as empty as the clear blue abyss. The only coherant thought was of Yuki. Kyo stared at Tohru, his eyes focusing on her slight form. " Im going to bed, now, okay." said Tohru, standing to her feet. Slipping her shoes off, she quietly opened the door, soundlessly walking through. Hatori, Shigure, and Kyo watched her go, their eyes lingering on the slidding door. "Whats wrong with her?"asked Shigure, now focusing his eyes on his friend. Hatori sighed, leaning his head heavily against the post. "Shes just worried." said Hatori, recounting her sudden jolt at the hospital. Shigure nodded, his dark brown eyes,thoughtful.
Tohru slipped into her pajamas, welcoming theyre comforting warmth. Slipping under the covers, she fell asleep almost instantly, her head falling gently onto a pillow. Deep sleep eluded her, as she fought the recurring dream, though it had the affect of a nightmare. She watched Ayame pull the plug thousands of times over and over again, pain and grief in his ever cheerful golden eyes. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at Yukis peaceful face, his skin untouched by the sunlight. Her heart wenched from her chest as she suffered to stare into the younger Sohmas faces, their sad tearful expressions. She felt Harus pain as she watched, his tears fall, like drops of rain, onto Yukis still face. She felt the agony as he held onto his dead friend,love, and cousin, as the monitors beeping in one straight line. She saw Kisa and Hiro, holding onto each other, sobbing, as Ayame slowly walked away from his younger brother into the arms of his family and friends. She felt the heartache of Kyo, the one person who seemed to hate the rat, was sobbing into Kaguras arms, her tears mingling with his. Momiji stood silently, sobbing into Hatoris chest, trying to speak. She witness Akito, silently placing a kiss on Yukis virgin lips.
A soft cry of anguish escape Tohrus lips, echoing to the men sitting outside on the pouch, their faces sad. Kyo, Shigure, and Hatori ran up the stairs, into Tohrus room, her tears falling onto her pillow,her still sleeping form allowing the tears to finally fall.
