Stranded

Her brown hair tickled her neck slightly as she walked her way from the house, which she vowed never to go back to. How could he do that to her? Her milky peach skin glistened under the moonlight as she found her way to the main house. As much as she hated the main house she had to get away from Kyo.

She wanted him to know that now there was an empty void in her heart where he once lived. Her dark brown eyes sailed onto the large door to the entrance to the large Sohma estate. She pulled the door open as she entered. She now felt empty.

She knew it was easy to get lost in the main house, yet she grew up here too. Walking for at least five minutes she got to the house Akito demanded that she and her mother lived. She went to open the door but it was locked – her mother was out? Why, where, with who? Kagura placed her hand on her hip, and then she remembered.

In the shock of seeing Tohru kissing Kyou she dropped her jacket when running away. Suddenly a tear formed in her eyes as she slid down resting with a thump on the floor. She was stranded for this night… and who knows after that will she still be stranded? She hoped not.

The domino haired teen came to a halt. Seeing his older cousin crying, it angered him; it also angered him because no one went after her. He had to make sure that she was okay – so he did – there was just something in her face when she saw them kissing.

Walking, closing the gap between them the ox placed the yellow jacket around the boar's shoulders shocking her as she turned to face him.
"Haru-kun?" Kagura asked when he smiled warmly. The tears stopped then.
"Kagura, everything is going to be alright." He said draping his arms around her. "I'm here."

He embraced her as she cried into his coat that covered his shoulders. "I'm not going anywhere." He said when he felt her hug him back. He just had this urgent feeling run through his body telling him that he had to protect her. He gave in, he let himself protect her. To protect her from anything that threatened her.
