Thanks for all the people who reviewed! I love each and every one of you…(blows kisses) I read Volume 12 and 13…Momo is soooooooo cute!

And it's kinda obvious who's going to end up with whom…but I'm still gonna write this fanfic like nothing ever happened…
The Hana/Kazuma thing was gold…(wipes tear)

Good work Takaya-sensei, I will patiently wait for volume 14 (rocks back and forth with a rifle)

Yes…patience, my dear…

Chapter Three

The Main House

Yuki developed a flu after the incident. He didn't want to look into Tohru's face. Even after the incident, he found a small lunchbox packed full of freshly made rice balls at his door.

Guilt welled up inside of him. It wanted to leap out of his throat and spill all over the floor in one large, filthy puddle.

He occasionally heard them talk about him.

"But Kyo-kun, I know that he didn't mean it…"

"You're too naïve Tohru, you've gotta stand up for yourself sometimes"

"No…I have to support him because I know that he didn't mean it!"

"Tohru, you love Yuki, don't you?"

There was a silence.

"I…"

Yuki leant closer to the sliding door, his face burning red and tears stinging his eyes.

"I do," she said quietly.

The sound that followed was Kyo running.

"Kyo-kun!" Tohru yelled after him.

"KYO-KUN!"

Yuki couldn't stand it anymore. He had to move back to the main house to be rid of the pain. It was clinging onto him even a whole month after the incident. They didn't speak for that month, but Tohru was still good to him. Cooking his meals the way he liked it and even packing his lunch.

It was very awkward at school when they had to do an assignment together. They went on and did their research and managed to get an 'A' without conversing with each other.

Hana and Uo both suspected something.

"The prince is not at ease," Hana announced in her usual tone of voice "Something is eating his mind away. The emotion is so strong. It is…remorse? Guilt?"

The fangirls suspected something too. They noticed the rift between the 'prince' and that 'little Honda girl'. This made them even more persistent than ever. All of them had a sort of hungry glint in their eyes as if they wanted to spring on Yuki and profess their undying love for him.

This bugged Yuki. He had enough to worry about.

A week passed and his request to return to the main Sohma house had been heard and was granted. He moved in a day after he got the letter from the family telling him just that.

It a stormy night and he had a lot of luggage to move by just himself. Kyo was still fuming after the incident, Shigure had a novelist's conference to go to and Hatsuharu had mysteriously disappeared ('Probably got lost again' Yuki thought).

Then out of the darkness, Kureno appeared.

"Need help?" he asked in his suave manner of speaking.

Yuki nodded.

"I need to talk to you first" Kureno said his short hazel head kissing his fair brow in the wind. Raindrops slowly fell from the sky as the two men stood silently outside of Yuki's new room.

"Look, first I want to ask you: do you want to know what Akito said he was going to do to Tohru?"

Yuki merely nodded.

"He's going to have her-"

CRASH!

"The storm's getting worse, we'd better go inside…" Kureno said

"What did you say he was going to do?"

"Come on! Let's go!"

"Tell me now."

"Yuki le-"

"Tell me now, please"

Yuki's eyes were pleading. Kureno saw desperation in them begging him.

"Okay" he said as a lightning bolt struck down "Akito is going to have Honda"

CRASH!

"Murdered"

CRASH!

But that time, it wasn't the thunder. Yuki had just punched Kureno sending his crashing against a wall.

"Yuki, I understand that you're mad at me right now. But now-"

"YOU!" Yuki yelled, "Why didn't you do anything about it?"

Kureno stood up, with a calm expression on his face and walked towards Yuki.

"I couldn't," Kureno said simply "Would you go against Akito's wishes?"

The lightning flashed and made his wet face illuminate in the darkness. Shadows crept across his face making him look somewhat sinister and threatening.

Yuki was lost for words. Kureno had hit the nail on the head. He was completely right. He himself was too afraid to go against Akito's words. He let them influence him and hurt Honda-san's feelings. It was unbearable. It was too much for him. He fell on his knees and grabbed Kureno's leg.

"I'm sorry, Kureno" he whispered, tears rolling down his already drenched face "I just didn't know what to do"

Kureno smiled sympathetically and nodded.

"Let's move your things first. Then we will decide what to do," he said.

Oooh! What an exciting climatic part of the story!
Murder! Suspense!
Too much murder-mystery manga for me…(anime sweatdrop)
And yes, I do realise that Yuki would really rather die than return to the Sohma house…but I had to make changes, blah, blah, blah. This is only a fanfic. No need to get worked up about it…and I don't think Kureno would go against what Akito says...unless maybe it had to do with Uo (hint, hint)…sorry, there I go again, shooting my mouth off, spoiling the story…Sorry…
BTW, I want each chapter to be at least 900 words long…Okay, that isn't very long but I'm not patient enough write something long.
