Chapter Four: (Tohru)

It was early the next morning when Tohru woke up. Her clothes were still on and her mind felt very disoriented. She had cried herself to sleep. It took her a moment to remember yesterday's events.

Oh Kyo! Why is this happening to you? How can someone do this to you? I thought we were going to stay together. I thought we promised to stay together. How can they take you away from me? How…?

Tohru took a deep breath. She looked at her door and wondered if Kyo had come back. She needed to see him. She crept down the hall to his room and softly knocked.

"Kyo…?" she whispered.

She was greeted by a silence. Tohru knocked a tad louder and called again.

"Kyo?"

"Go away."

"Please, will you talk to me? I want…I want…"

"WHAT!"

"I want to know how you feel. Please open the door."

"How the heck do you think I feel? I don't want to open the door. I don't want to see anyone ever again. Especially you. Just stay away from me Tohru."

Tohru backed away as if she had been slapped. She was vaguely reminded of when they'd first met. How cruel he was to her. But he had changed! Had he forgotten everything? She stepped to the door once again and raised her hand to knock. But she forced herself to stop and walked away. With every step, she fought the urge to turn back to him.

(Kyo)

Kyo rolled over. Every bone in his body ached from his night on the floor. But he still didn't get up. Tohru's voice rang in his mind over and over again. "I want to know how you feel." He knew he had been cruel to her. He wanted so badly to call her back. To tell her he was sorry and he didn't mean it. To tell her that he…

Tell her what? It's easier this way. If I don't talk to anyone now. They won't feel sad. They'll forget about me and move on. If she thinks I hate her, she'll move on. Yuki can make her happy. That damn rat. That DAMN rat! This is his fault. I'm going to prison because the rat tricked the cat. And the cat was stupid enough to believe it…it was my fault really. I deserve this. That's why I won't come out. It's over now. My life is over.

(Yuki)

Yuki woke some time after Tohru. He'd heard her at Kyo's door. He heard him send her away. He pretended he didn't. He dressed and headed for the stairs. He heard Shigure in his room snoring. There was silence in Kyo's room. He stopped in front of the door for a brief second. No. Forget it. What could I say to him now?

He found Tohru in the kitchen. She was crying if front of the cabinet. Yuki took a step forward and she turned around quickly. Seeing Yuki standing there, she frantically wiped at her eyes.

"Oh. Y-Yuki! Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

"Are you alright Miss Honda?"

"Oh, I'm fine. Just a little tired. I yawned so hard that I got all teary-eyed. Silly, silly!" She attempted at laughter but it sounded false. She looked so sad. Yuki felt torn. Part of him wanted nothing more than to comfort her, to tell her that's its okay to cry. But the other past of him (as much as he hated to admit it) was jealous that she was crying over Kyo.

The two teens stood in awkward silence for a moment. Yuki stared at Tohru for a long time. Then, on impulse, Yuki decided to tell her how he felt. Who knows, maybe it would make her happy. He opened his mouth but Tohru spoke first.

"Do you think that Kyo is alright, Yuki?"

His mouth closed shut. All impulse was gone and he wilted. He didn't answer her question.

"I'm going to the base," he mumbled and left hurriedly.

"Yuki?" She called after him but he pretended not to hear. He wasn't sure he could take any more bad news.

(Tohru)

Tohru fought the urge to go after Yuki. Had he been about to say something? He'd looked so sad when she'd asked about Kyo. Tohru felt very helpless now. The two people she cared about the most were so upset and she couldn't make it better.

Mom? Are you watching? I don't know what to do. Kyo's life is ruined and he is devastated. Now Yuki seems upset too. I'm just…so sad, Mom. What do I do? Oh, I wish you were here. I feel so useless.

Tohru was startled out of her thoughts by a loud knocking. She hurried to the door, drying her eyes before opening it. When she saw who it was she let out a gasp.

"What are you doing here?"
