TOHRUS POV

I heard someone enter the room and looked up startled. "Kyo?" I said looking up at him, wondering why he had come here. Kyo came and sat down next to me, wiping a tear from my eyes. "Oh no I wasn't crying really, I just got something in my eye and..." I was cut off by Kyo.

"It's ok if you don't wan't to talk about, just letting you know I wan't to listen." Kyo said and his cheeks flamed. I looked a little surprised at this, and blushed.

"Thankyou Kyo-Kun, thankyou so much." I said honestly, my voice filled with gratefullness. Kyo just nodded and left the room, figuring I would wan't to be alone for a little while or something like that. Oh mom their are so many princes in the Sohma family, and I not just Yuki either. I thought staring at the photograph of mom. I stood up bravely and headed back down the stairs.

NORMAL POV

Tohru put the last sparkling dish away on the rack, and hung up her little apron. When she turned around, she looked out the window and noticed how many radient star's were out. Tohru stood there for a few minutes starting out into the black abyss, before Yuki came in startling her. "Oh Yuki-Kun I didn't see you there!" Tohru cried startled, she held one pale hand to her chest.

"Im sorry Honda-San, I just wanted to see if you were ok. You seem to be acting a bit different lately and I was hoping it wasn't because of something I did or said." Yuki said gently, with soft violet eyes.

"Oh no Yuki-Kun it's nothing you did. Ive just had alot on my mind is all. So im sorry if I worried you." Tohru said smiling at him. Yuki nodded and they continued with their evenings.

The next day Kyo found Tohru crying agian, only in a bit of a different scene.Torhu walked outside onto the deck and sat down slowly, staring out into the yard. She didn't notice that Kyo was standing right behind her. "Mom, Im not sure what to do. I know I wan't to help him, and.." Tohru paused as she started crying agian. She didn't continue her thought's aloud, and buried her head in her hand's. Kyo wondered who she was talking about, and stepped foward placing a hand comfortingly on Tohru's shoulder. Tohru jumped and turned around suprised to see Kyo had found her once more crying. "Kyo-Kun im sorry I have to go inside and tell Shigure im going out." Tohru said quickly an idea forming in her head. Kyo stepped out of her way wondering if she was mad at him.

"Shigure-San, if its alright with you can I go out for awhile? If you don't need me at the moment that is." Tohru said smiling at her dog friend. Shigure looked up from his manuscripts, and nodded.

"Yes that's fine, don't let me stop you. Where are you going a friend's house?" Shigure asked. Tohru shook her head, and clutched her hands together a little tigether.

"No, im uh going to see Akito." Tohru said softly, before turning around and walking out the door quickly. Shigure seemed surprised but it was to late to stop her, she was already out the door.

"What was that all about?" Yuki asked stepping.into Shigure's office, curiously. Shigure just shook his head, he thought it best not to tell Yuki or Kyo where Tohru had decided to go. They would probably be very mad.

Tohru arrived at Akito's house in no time, and was led inside to see him. She sat down in front of him respectfully and bowed a little. "Hello Akito-San I hope your doing well." Tohru said politely smiling at Akito. Akito just glared at her, and looked as if he was ready to kill her.

"What did you come here for?" He asked harshly, stepping toward's Tohru a little bit. Tohru fidgeted in her seat a little nervously but still smiled.

"I wanted to ask you, if there was something you could do for me." Tohru said honestly, and Akito raised an eyebrow curiously. "I wan't to take the curse of the cat upon myself, I wan't to bear the burden of the curse." Tohru said quickly, hoping to get this over with. Akito seemed a bit surprised then laughed a bit evilly.

"You will suffer, the way we suffer. But why are you doing this?" Akito asked stepping dangerously close to Tohru. Tohru stared down at the ground unsure of how to answer this, in a way that might persuade Akito to do it. "Never mind, I will enjoy this very much. Let's get it over with." Akito said. He sat down in front of Tohru and placed an ice cold hand on her forehead. There was a flash of orange light, and then everything wen't blank.
