Rei opened the door of her apartment, she turned on the light and hung her coat up and set her keys on the table. Then she unstably walked into her bedroom, and fell onto her bed. For a while she was silent, then she broke down crying. How could he do that to me? What did I do to deserve that? She thought.

The phone rang she checked the caller id to see who it was. It was Hatori, she didn't answer it but her answering machine did.

"Hi. I'm busy at the moment but leave a message and I'll get back to you whenever I can. Thanks!" Beep!

Hatori's voice came up:

"Hey. Rei san? Sorry for calling so late. It's me Hatori, I'm just checking if you are ok. I'm sorry for what happened, if you want to talk about it or something just call me whenever you want. Well, that's about it…Well I guess I'll see you later."

Rei looked up, He cares about me. He really really cares about me! She thought. She picked up the phone and was about to dial, but decided against it. She felt tears coming to her eyes and she buried her face into her pillow and cried herself to sleep.

She woke up the next morning and felt like shit. I cant go to work like this today….. she thought. She picked up the phone and dialed Hatori's number.

"Hello?"

"Hatori san it's me Rei."

"Hey.. are you ok? You sound awful."

"I feel awful,I can't come to work …….but I will come to work tomorrow ok?"

"Of course, I understand get some rest."

She hung up, she went to the bath room to wash her tear stained face. "Ugh, I look awful." She sighed to her reflection. After washing her face she plopped onto the sofa and took out her cell phone, she flipped it open and began to type a text message.

To: 5164058 (Mayuko)

From: 6569736 (Rei)

Hey. I am sick today.. but how are you? Well g2g talk to you later.

She hit "send" and sighed. She closed her cell phone and looked at the ceiling "What to do now?" she said. Suddenly her eye lids felt heavy and before she knew it she was asleep. She woke up about 9:00 pm, "Better get something to eat…"

She took out some ramen, and boiled some water then she sat down on the sofa and turned the tv on. Why did Hatori care so much for me? She thought. After she was done eating she washed her bowl and dried it. "NNNNGggggggg. Time to turn in I gotta go to work tomorrow." She wasn't excited about work but she couldn't wait to see Hatori..

The next morning, she got up feeling a bit better, but she was still upset from what Kyo had said to her. She slipped on her one piece navy blue short dress and ankle boots. Then she put on her coat, and grabbed her cell phone and keys. After a short walk to the Sohma's estate, Rei felt rejuvenated at the thought of seeing Hatori again. I had better thank him for caring so much about me… she thought.

"Ah Rei you're here." Hatori said he looked at her.

She nodded with out smiling, her throat hurt and she didn't know what to say.

"Could you file this for me?"

She nodded.

While her back was turned she felt his breath on her neck, "Just to let you know I called because I care about you Rei I really do." And he leaned down his eyes staring into hers. He leaned down more and she closed her eyes.

"Thank you for caring about me…"

"No problem."

Then at that moment on December 30th , Hatori Sohma had kissed Rei.

The next day, Rei looked at Hatori and blushed it had been just yesterday that he had kissed her. She loved him and obviously he loved her. As she was filing some papers the door bell rang.

"I'll get it ok?" she said she put down her files and walked down the hall to the door. She opened the door, there was Tohru Honda.
