Chapter 6

In Plain and Simple Words

-sigh-

Lana: Snap out of it.

-depressed sighing continues-

Lana: Dammit! People! Review! She's so damn depressed she cant even reply to reviews! She was planning to start replying today until she got home, had about 17 reviews and they were all for her sisters Angel Charms story.

-mumble unwanted. disliked. dispensable. mumble-

Lana: Oh for the love of anime! You blockheads better review or who's gonna write this dumb story?

-perk- Dumb story-slouch- Yea... -in corner with her laptop - So useless am I.

Lana-holds back on wise cracks-grits teeth- BTW, Reb don't own FB but she do own her little poetic spark in there.

Kyo had fallen asleep again. The rain had started again. It had been 3 days since Tohru's last visit, when she'd told him she cared.. Right now Kyo slept and dreamt of Tohru and about the words that left her soft lips. And it was still raining. Actually.. Tohru had visited...

Hatori sat at the desk in the room and read a book. Tohru had left a letter for Kyo, but when Hatori had come up the cat was asleep. She said it was important so he stayed behind. She'd borrowed the envelope from the secretary and even written the letter in the waiting room. He wondered why she didn't just stay till he woke.

This book was disturbing yet held truth in a way. Called The Flip Side, the review on the back of the book made it sound like a book of truths. Yet in Hatori's professional opinion... It was just insane.

"Basmugen." Kyo grumbled. Hatori looked up. 'What?'

"I don't wanna... dumb... party... boring.." He continued. Dreaming about going to a party? That was nice. In the back of his mind, Hatori wondered if it was anything like the party in his book. Where girls dressed as guys and guys as girls. He hoped not.

Kyo was quiet for a while so Hatori guessed he hadn't gone to the party. Or maybe he had and just was too embarrassed to say so. That sounded like Kyo. Hatori gave up trying to read, he was getting a headache from it.

Pretty soon Hatori was getting tired. He yawned softly and closed his eyes. He fell asleep as the sun was setting outside. Because he fell asleep, he didn't hear Kyo. Or see him. And he would wake a bit too late.

"Tohru..." Kyo mumbled in his sleep. "Tohru...? Tohru!" Kyo sprang up from his dream. He breathed heavily and looked around. He was still in the hospital. He couldn't check on Tohru. Why did he need to? Kyo tried, but couldn't remember his dream. He groaned and was about to lay back down when he noticed Hatori asleep at the desk.

"Huh?" he looked at his mask as if wondering how to get over to Hatori. He saw the letter addressed to him and really wanted to read it. 'Oh who gives a hell?' He took off the mask and stood up. He walked over to the table and picked up the letter, making sure to be quiet.

Maybe he shouldn't have taken the mask off, he found it hard to breathe and the smell of the hospital was horrible. He walked to his bed and sat in the chair and put the mask back on. He wondered who wrote the letter as he opened it.

"Tohru?" he asked, checking the bottom.

(Everything underlined was scratched out.)

Dear Kyo, To Kyo.

I hope you're feeling well. I wish I could help you feel better. I'm sorry I didn't stick around till you woke up but I felt I wouldn't have the.. But I couldn't say what I needed to when looking you in the eye. Kyo I'm really sorry. I want to always be there for you. I didn't realize how important you were to me until you fainted and wouldn't wake up. I thought I was going to lose you forever. I've already almost lost you once. I don't wanna loose you again. Please get better and come home soon. I want to cook you a big welcome home dinner. Special seafood buffet just for you. Please don't hurt yourself. I'm worried about you Kyo. I... there was bit of a line here so he figured she'd paused to think of how to say it ... I love you.

Tohru

P.S. Sorry for all the scribbles, this pencil has no eraser.

Kyo stared at the letter. How simple it was said.. Yet how complicated was the emotion.

In plain and simple words,

He folded the letter neatly, not really noticing what he was doing.

the truth can now escape,

He took off the oxygen mask and set it on the bed, then put the letter on his side table. He stood up and got a rush of dizziness. After he quickly got over that, he walked slowly to the door and opened it.

the shambles of the lies,

He blinked and realized what he wanted to do. He ran out the door and the door slammed behind him. He was going to see Tohru.

that hide my hearts true shape.

Hatori almost fell out of his chair when the door closed. He looked around sleepily. He was here because... the letter! Right! He looked at where he'd left it. It was gone! He looked under the table in case it had fallen down. Nope.. What about Kyo? He looked over to find him missing as well.

"Either Kyo took the letter or we have a strange kidnapper.." Hatori was still half out of it so he wasn't thinking exactly straight. He yawned then got the full effect of what happened. "KYO!" he jumped up and an to the door, ripped it open and hurried down the hall. At the front desk he asked the worker about Kyo.

"You mean that handsome young orange haired boy? He just left sir. You mean he was a patient? He didn't look like one.." she explained. It was true. Despite Kyo agreeing to stay here, he'd refused to wear hospital clothes and so Tohru had brought him some. So Kyo was running.. Sick... through a storm.. To who knows where. Hatori sighed and went back to the room to see if he left anything that might say where.

On the bed was the mask and the covers throw askew. Hatori turned off the oxygen mask and looked around. It was on the desk, the letter. He picked it up and read who it was from. So this was the letter he'd been given for Kyo was it? Wait.. Hatori read it.

"So. He went to see Tohru. Still. He shouldn't be out." and he hurried to his car to looked for the cat.

You know what. I was starrting to feel better and then I come home and I have about 12 more reviews for my sister.. DANG IT! SHE GETS 20 REVIEWS EACH CHAPTER AND I GET 2 IF I'M LUCKY-bursts into tearrs-

Lana: it's werid. I mean.. You have more stories...

Leave me alone... -goes to write a chapter for If Only In Spirit-
