Chapter 7: The End or the Beginning?

But when Kyou reached the door to his home, he froze, staring forward nervously at the two figures before him. Yuki was standing straight with his arms folded. On his face was a glare, as deadly as glares could get. And it was directed at him. " Kyou..." Yuki whispered quietly, beginning a sentence.

" We need to talk..." Said Shigure, finishing Yuki's sentence as he revealed himself at the door way, leaning against the doorframe with his arms folded to. Both of them had glares on that sent chills down Kyou's spine. His eyes opened wide and trembling.

The 3 boys sat in Shigure's office. Yuki sat glaring at Kyou the whole entire time, making the neko very nervous. Shigure looked at both of them. " So Kyou... Tell me... Who REALLY killed Ayame?" Yuki asked, as he looked at the floor, his bangs hiding his eyes. Shigure and Kyou looked at Yuki. Kyou sighed as he looked away. " I don't know..." He started.

Yuki looked up at him suddenely with a deadly glare, ready to kill him. " LIE! Thats a LIE! Your a Shinigami!" Kyou intercepted. " No that-" "- Don't lie! I know you killed him!" " But Yuki I didn't-" " More lies! Your the one who killed him! I just know it!" " Yuki it wasn't my choice!" Yuki kept glaring. " But it WAS your choice..." He hissed.

" No Yuki! Listen to me! I was ordered to-" " By your boss! But you could have refused!" " If I did that she would have made me kill-" "- I don't wanna hear it, you stupid cat!" " Yuki please listen to me! I-" " No! Shut up!" " But-!" " GET OUT!" Shigure intercepted, " Stop it you two..." He said. " BUT HE-" Yuki started, but Shigure shook his head. " No buts... We have to take care of this without further... Seeing as though I'm not a good punisher... I leave the decision to Yuki.."

Yuki stood up. He stared at Kyou, before it turned into a glare. " Don't come near me... Don't talk to me... Don't eat here.. Don't sleep in this house... Don't even LIVE here! Don't you EVER come near the Sohmas or Miss Honda again! If you do I will kill you! You understand me, stupid cat! KILL YOU!" Yuki yelled.

Kyou stared at Yuki, his eyes wide and trembling. " You can't be serious..." He straind with words. Yuki towered over him. " Oh I'm serious all right..." He hissed. " And I want you out... Now..." He said. Kyou slowly stood up. " I'm sorry... But I can't do th-" Yuki cut him off. " I DON'T CARE! I WANT YOU OUT!" Yuki grabbed a vase and threw it at Kyou.

Kyou managed to dodge as the vase hit the wall behind him. Shigure sweatdropped. " My beautiful house!" He cried. Yuki looked at Shigure. " CAN'T YOU THINK OF ANYTHING OTHER THAN YOUR DAMN HOUSE!" He yelled, taking books from the bookshelf and ripped out some pages and crushed them into a ball and throwing them at Kyou before throwing the whole book at him. " Yuki you shouldn't treat books like that!" Shigure explained.

But Yuki didn't listen. " DON'T COME NEAR ME! DON'T TOUCH MISS HONDA! DON'T LAY ANYTHING OF YOURS ON THE SOHMA FAMILY AGAIN! DO YOU HEAR ME! DON'T YOU EVER EVEN THINK OF ENTERING THIS HOUSE ANYMORE!" He yelled at Kyou. Kyou ran out of the room. If Yuki had said anything afterwords, Kyou didn't hear it, for he closed his ears to the sound of that angry voice.

Kyou ran into his room and closed the door, locking it. He layed on his bed before jumping up, growling and going onto the balcony as he climbed the ladder to the room and sat brooding in his spot.

Tohru had been standing in the hall as Kyou ran into his room and shut the door. She could hear the snap of a lock. " Kyou..?" She asked quietly. She approached the door and pressed her ear to the door. After hearing nothing she backed away then went to a window connected to the ladder. She climbed up and looked over the roof at Kyou. Her eyes remained in a sadlike state. " Kyou...?" She asked, worried.

Kyou's head snapped up and he looked at her. " Go away..." He said. He didn't want to be near her.. But it wasn't because of Yuki's threat. It was because it hurt to know he wouldn't be able to say anything to, or even be near, her anymore. Tohru winced at his words. " Why...?" She asked quietly. Kyou's eyes narrowed and he, even though he didn't want to, glared at her. " Because I said to!" He snapped.

Tohru looked away. " That's not what I mean..." She shook her head. Kyou's glared lingered. " Then what DO you mean!" He yelled at her. She said nothing, was it because she didn't know what to say? Or because if she said anything at all, she would shed tears? Kyou grew impatient. " SAY SOMETHING!" He yelled. Tohru winced. She sniffled a little. " I'm... I'm so sorry..." She whimpered.

Kyou looked away. Feeling the guilt of knowing he was upsetting her so much. " Just go..." His tone softened. " Please go and don't look back..." She looked up at him. " But Kyou-" She said, but got cut off. " I SAID GO!" He snapped, causing Tohru to startle and lose her grip on the ladder, she fell back.

Kyou stared in shock before scrambling and rushing over to the edge, falling onto his stomache, reaching out just in time to catch her hand before she fell. He pulled her up, only to have her fall onto him and he turned into a cat. Tohru looked down in surprise and shock at her savior. She looked away sadly. " I'm so sorry..." She whispered, trying to choke back tears.

Kyou looked up at her in cat form. " No... I should be sorry..." He looked down, and Tohru looked at him. " What?" She asked. " I shouldn't have yelled at you like that... you wouldn't have fallen..." He said quietly. Tohru shook her head. " No Kyou, I'm sorry... If I hadnt of come up here, I wouldn't have upset you!" She protested.

" But it was ME who worried YOU... wasn't it?" Kyou asked. Tohru stared for a moment before nodding. " Are you okay?" She asked him. Kyou looked away. " No, I'm not... listen Tohru... I'm..." he stopped. Tohru blinked. " Your what?" She asked, wanting him to finish. He closed his eyes as he looked down, straining to keep back tears. " I'm leaving..." He said. Tohru's eyes widened. " What? But! You can't leave! You can't! You should stay here, everyone wants you here!" She protested.

Kyou shook his head. " Not true... Yuki wouldn't care and Shigure is too boneheaded... Tohru... I am leaving... don't change my mind." He said. Tohru straind back tears. " But you HAVE to stay here! I want you to stay here! Please Kyou!" She said, her head going down til her bangs covered half her face, covering her eyes as she lowered her head til a foot from her knees. " Please..." She whispered.

But Kyou shook his head. " No... I'm sorry Tohru but... My mind is made up..." He lied. Tohru sniffled before turning and climbing down the ladder, going through a window and she went into her room, closing the door and locking it as she fell onto her bed, crying and sobbing into her pillow.

Kyou looked up at the moon sadly with crimson eyes. " Why do you do this to me?" He said to no one. " Why can't..." His words intercepted by him closing his eyes tightly and looking down. " For once..." He cut off again, tears forming under his closed eyelids. " Things be the way..." He poofed back. But his facial expression remained the same as he sat kneeling near the edge. " That I want it?" He asked. At this time all of his tears fell as his head shot up to the sky, as he opened his wide crimson eyes. " WHY!" He cried.

The very next day, Kyou was packing in his room. He looked at the balcony, a ghostly image of Tohru singing "la la la" there as she hung up clothing on the clothesline playing. He shook his head. He heard his door open and he looked over at it blankly. " Kyou?" Tohru asked as she looked in. Her eyes were red, Kyou could tell she had been crying nonstop all night and before she woke up.

" What?" He asked, blankly, pretending that he didn't care. Tohru looked away before barely turning her head to him. " Are you leaving... soon?" She asked, hoping he wasn't. Kyou noted her efforts to keep herself from collasping into tears. He knew she was trying to hide it... But she was trying her best so he pretended not to notice. Not wanting her best efforts to go to waste.

He stood up with his single bag. " Yes..." He said before turning her direction and walking passed her out the doorway and into the hallway. She turned swiftly to grab his sleeve with her fragile hand. " Kyou..." She started. Kyou stopped and looked back at her. " Please... stay... even though you are leaving... please just stay... just one more day?" She asked, her hand trembling on his sleeve.

Kyou looked down. He knew it was difficult for her. After everything... Tohru looked at him. " Please? Just one more night! Please Kyou! stay!" She pleaded. Kyou's blood boiled in anger at Yuki's choice for punishment. He thrusted his arm from her hold. " No! Shut up! I don't care! I'm going! Leave me alone!" He yelled at her. Tohru stepped back, whimpering. Kyou instantly regretted what he had said.

Tohru turned away and looked down, silently. Kyou looked at her sadly. He then reached out to put a hand on her shoulder. " Tohru-" He started softly, but she cut him off. " Go..." She said quietly. Her voice strained. Kyou pulled his hand back from its spot in air. " Tohru..." He began again. " I'm sor-" He was cut off yet AGAIN. " GO!" She turned looking at him, her face stained with tears. " GO! GET OUT IF HERE! IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT THEN GO! I JUST WANTED YOU TO STAY, EVEN FOR A LITTLE LONGER! I REALLY DID!" She yelled. Before running to her room and slamming the door shot.

Kyou stared at her door. Then looked down. " What have I done?" He asked quietly. He then turned and went down the stairs. Tohru sat by her window quietly as she watched outside. Kyou went to the door and slipped on his shoes as he walked out into the yard. He stopped and turned, looking back at the house. Scanning each window. Every nook and cravice. He looked down.

I know this will not remain forever
However it's beautiful

He looked back up at Tohru's window.

Your eyes, hands and your warm smile
They're my treasure

He tried to decipher the darkness within her room, trying to find her. The outline of her sitting by the window. He could see her frown and teary eyes watching him sadly.

It's hard to forget
I wish there was a solution

Kyou sighed. Looking down. He slowly turned away with his bag.

Don't spend your time in confusion
I'll turn back now and spread

He walked away. Tohru stared sadly at his back as he distanced.

My broken wings
still strong enough to cross the ocean with
My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind
Higher and higher in the light

Tohru looked away from the window and stood up slowly.

My broken wings
still strong enough to cross the ocean with
My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind
Across the sky, just keep on flying

Yuki watched from his own window, as Shigure watched from the main doorway. Just remember... he deserves this punishment... Yuki thought. Ignoring the guilt... or at least TRYING to.

The pain that cannot be measured, the flow of time that cannot be measured
Even if that may fill up everything
I can still feel
What falls from the sky is not the rain...

Shigure shook his head. " I wish there was another way.." He whispered to himself.

Did I ever chain you down to my heart
Cause I was afraid of you?

Tohru looked at the photograph of her mother on her desk. Thinking about the time she saw Kyou's true form.. and now thinking about yesterday and today. " What should I do mom?" She asked quietly. The voice of her mother said " Just be yourself, you'll be fine..." Her mom whispered within her memories.

No I couldn't hold any longer
Love is not a toy

She looked away from the photograph to the window. " Stop it... I can't this time mom... I can't..." She whispered, sadly.

Let go of me now
The time we spent is perpetual

Kyou kept walking down the path. He shook his head from the thoughts of Tohru that kept banging in on him constantly. " Stop it!" He told himself in a quiet hiss.

Our future is not real
I'll leap into the air

Kyou started from a speeded walk into a fast run, he ran down the path his tears forming as a few drops floated in slow motion in the air behind him.

My broken wings
still strong enough to cross the ocean with
My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind
Higher and higher in the light

Tohru fell against her wall. Sobbing, and crying. " Kyou-kun..." She whispered sadly as her tears kept falling. Shigure sighed from where he stood at the front door. Kyou had dissapeared from his sight but Shigure could still smell tears. From three teens he knew well. Yuki turned away from his window. Miss Honda? Kyou? I am so sorry... I'm so sorry.. He thought, starting to tear too.

My broken wings
still strong enough to cross the ocean with
My broken wings
How far should I go drifting in the wind
Across the sky, just keep on flying

Kyou ran off, far deep into the woods. Lost in it, and in himself. Tohru... TOHRU! I AM SO SORRY! FORGIVE ME! TOHRU PLEASE! He thought.

What falls from the sky is not the rain...

The clouds form. And at this time... The rain... Came...

End of Chapter 7, part one.

Beginning of Chapter 7, part two.

For the next few weeks, none of the 3 people in the household said a word. Tohru was always quiet, and barely did her chores. But Yuki and Shigure didn't mind it, they understand. Yuki stopped studying so much and stayed in his room for most of the day. The only time he came out was to eat, go to the bathroom, or go to school. At that was it, and only it.

Shigure stayed in his office, sometimes he wrote a manuscript or just sat staring out the open doorway to outside. It was as if all three of them were searching for something, or someone, every time they looked out a window.

Tohru was always staring unconciously out at window. It was a growing habit and now, it was an everyday routine. She hadn't even smiled in the last week. Ever since he left, she grew depressed. How could this have happened? Was it really Kyou who kept her happy? Who surpassed her loneliness so much? He had to be, why else would she be so depressed? Her heart ached, her brain couldn't think. All noise was blocked out from her ears and every sight except forest was blocked from her eyes.

Yuki regretted his choice of Kyou's punishment. Because of it, Tohru was depressed and the quietness of the house just didn't seem right. Not at all. Why did Yuki have to come up with something that made Tohru sad?

They went to school, but did not talk. Tohru saw Kyou once or twice, they didn't talk. Yuki saw Kyou, and Kyou saw Yuki, but they didn't talk. A distancing feeling had grown between the three of them. All yearning to speak with eachother but afraid of breaking down like a car.

Akito had found out somehow. She didn't care though, she was thinking about Ayame's death still. And she had an idea of who was responcible.

Ren was watching Kyou from afar. Why is it he hasn't completed that task? She thought...

Kyou was walking down the sidewalk, her and Tohru passed eachother, but kept going. After Tohru was out of eyesight and hearshot, Kyou looked up at the sun. " Why?" He asked quietly.
