Tohru sat out on the roof of Shigure's house, looking at the bright full moon. She looked next to her, expecting to see Kyo, but only saw more of the roof. She laid down as tears softly fell down her cheeks.
"He just…left for America. Just like that," Tohru said to the stars. She curled up into a ball and fell asleep.
She had the dream again.
"Ummm….Shigure-san? Where's Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked Shigure in her dream. Shigure shrugged and said, "He was visiting Kazuma-dono last time I checked. Something about being too soon." Tohru thanked Shigure before heading to Kazuma's dojo.
"Have you seen Kyo-kun?" She asked Kazuma as she got to his house. Kazuma sadly took Tohru by the arm and sat her down. He sighed and said, "Today, Kyo came to talk about how Akito-san brought up early confinement. However, when he got here, he only showed me a plane ticket and told me he was going to America to escape Akito-san and the rest of the family. He doesn't know when he'll be back." Tohru looked up at Kazuma and said, "He just left? Without saying good-bye?" Kazuma nodded and Tohru got up and left, her eyes filling with tears.
"Honda-san?" Yuki said shaking Tohru awake. She opened her eyes and saw Yuki, and said, "Yuki-kun! Kyo-kun is really gone!" She burst into tears as Yuki saw he could do nothing to help her.
"Honda-san, here, go to bed get some sleep, you're getting sick. I'll take you to see Hatori tomorrow," Yuki said helping Tohru up. Tohru nodded and went to her room and fell asleep.
"Honda-kun? You've been making yourself sick over the stress you've faced because of Kyo's trip to America. Your emotions are causing you to get fevers and faint more often," Hatori said the next day as he checked her temperature. Tohru nodded as she looked at the picture of Kana on Hatori's shelf.
"Hatori-san. I'm sorry for being rude and intruding on your personal life, but did you feel this sad when Kana-san left?" Tohru asked looking down at the ground. Hatori looked sternly at Tohru's head and said, "I can say I was almost as sad as you, but I didn't make myself sick over it." He kneeled down and cupped her chin in his hand and said, "But Kyo didn't know what he was thinking to leave you behind." Tohru blushed and nodded. He continued to look at Tohru before standing up and saying, "Just find a way to move on. Go find another guy or something. It's not good for you to keep worrying like this. It'll bring everyone down, you understand?" Tohru nodded and got up to leave.
"Thank you for your kindness Hatori-san. I'm sorry for disturbing you on a day like this. I'll get better! I can't bring anyone else down with me!" Tohru said as she walked out of the room. Hatori nodded and as the door shut, he slumped down into his chair and sighed. He opened the blinds on his window and watched Tohru stagger out with a frown on his face.
"I don't know what I'd do if you didn't get better. It's not like I'd ever have a spot in your heart, Honda-kun," he said as if there was an invisible Tohru in the room. He looked up at the ceiling before his phone rang.
"Hatori Sohma, oh…it's you Honda-kun," Hatori said chewing on the end of his pen cap. He listened to her and said, "No, this visit was on the house. You don't owe me anything but to feel happier," He continued listening and said, "Don't overwork your happiness though. I just want to see you smile again, ok Honda-kun?" He heard her cough and said, "Take some cough medicine before you get a cold. Winter weather is always horrible on a girl like you, and it'd be bad for you to get sick in your condition. Ok, good-bye." He hung up the phone and kept chewing on the pen cap before making a phone call to Shigure.
"Yeah, just make sure she gets some rest. I know how she can overwork herself. No, don't do that." He listened as Shigure asked if was falling in love with Tohru because of his wonderful care of her. Hatori sighed and said, "Get a life, Shigure." Before hanging up on him and putting his face in his hands. He sighed and thought, "What if I do love you?"
