(Chapter Five): (Tohru)

On the doorstep stood…everyone! Haru, Momiji, Kisa, Hiro, Kagura, Rin, Ritsu, Ayame and Hatori. They had all come at once. Tohru marveled at the sight of all of them, here to see Kyo. Her heart filled as she stepped back to let them all through. Shigure was waiting in the living room as they all trailed in. His eyebrows raised gently in pleasant surprise.

"Well, well, well. Do my eyes deceive me or do we have a crowd of animals in my living room?"

"We came to see Kyo," Momiji explained.

Kagura suddenly pushed to the front of the crowd. She grabbed Tohru's hands forcefully and shook them slightly.

"Where's Kyo? How is he? Have you talked to him? Where is he?"

Tohru dropped her gaze from Kagura's.

"He's…in his room. He hasn't come out as far as I know. He…won't talk to me."

Kagura immediately headed for the stairs…

"Kagura!" Hatori called after her. "Perhaps that isn't a good idea. Kyo probably doesn't want to talk to us right now. Maybe we should all just go home."

Kagura looked angrily at Hatori. She kept shifting her weight from one foot to the other.

"If you want to go, then go. But I'm not leaving. My love is all alone right now. I need to go to him."

And without another word she ran for the stairs. Tohru started to follow, eager to talk to Kyo but stopped. "I don't want to see anyone ever again. Especially you." Tohru bit her lip and let Kagura go alone, wishing she had her courage.

(Kagura)

Kagura took the stairs two at a time. She threw herself at Kyo's door.

"Kyo! My love, open the door for me!"

"Kagura! Go away!"

"Kyo! Please open the door! I want to talk to you. I want to take care of you."

"I don't care. Get away! There's nothing you can do anyway."

Kagura sighed and turned away, disappointed. Then, she turned back ad kicked the door open. She saw Kyo sitting on the floor, eyes wide and angry.

"Dammit, woman! What did you do that for!"

"Well…how else was I supposed to get you to talk to me?"

"I don't want to talk to you Kagura."

She drank in the sight of him. His face was drawn and tired. His already red eyes were even more so from being bloodshot. There were definite tearstains on his cheeks. He didn't even try to run away from her. Her heart sank. Her beloved Kyo was broken. Kagura ran to him and dropped to her knees. Kyo didn't do a thing he just stared at the floor. Kagura leaned into him and opened her arms. Kyo's eyes grew wet. He leaned towards her just a fraction of an inch.

"Kyo? Please, just let me hold you."

And with that, Kyo fell into Kagura's arms. She felt his tears on her skin. She sighed, grateful that he was letting her get this close. After a few moments in silence, Kyo spoke.

"I'm sorry Kagura. Here you are, comforting me. Trying to help me. You can even hug me. You seem to care so much about me. And yet…I'm so sorry but…I wish that you were someone else."

Kagura said nothing for a long time. She felt choked up at hearing those words. But then she smiled slightly to herself and whispered to Kyo.

"I know. But it's okay. Kyo, I love you. That means I will do anything for you despite how you feel about me. Helping you…makes me so happy. So I am going to make you happy now. Go ahead Kyo…pretend that I am Tohru. I know she would be the one here, if she could."

And Kagura felt Kyo tighten his grip. She smiled even more broadly.

"Oh Kyo."

(Yuki)

Yuki did not stay out long. A walk wasn't going to help him. He felt terrible for his behavior to Tohru. He'd been so rude to her and during a time when she was clearly upset. He went home, intending to apologize. However, he was not expecting to come home to a whole crowd of people.

"What's this?" He asked. Shigure smiled at him.

"Ahh, welcome back, Yuki! Everyone came by to see Kyo. He's still upstairs. Kagura is with him."

Yuki looked around the room. Rin and Haru were sitting together talking, their faces solemn. Momiji was dancing around Ayame, Ritsu and Hatori. Ayame looked amused, Hatori looked bored and Ritsu looked…well…like Ritsu (aka-terrified.) Kisa was sitting in between Tohru and Hiro. She was holding Tohru's hand, much to Hiro's obvious displeasure. Yuki smiled slightly at the scene. He saw Kisa fold into a hug with Tohru, her head just under the older girl's chin. Yuki caught Tohru's eye and smiled. She grinned right back and did not look away. Yuki felt his heart warm.

"Hello Yuki!"

Yuki turned to see Kagura coming down the stairs, a smile on her face. She took a seat next to Momiji and started to chat with him. And then, a moment later…Kyo came shuffling down the stairs.

(Tohru)

Tohru was ecstatic to see Kyo. Kagura, you're amazing!, she thought as everyone greeted the two newcomers. Both Kyo and Yuki were here, talking with everyone else. She felt so happy. Tohru stood up.

"I'll go make some tea!" And she hurried off.

At the doorway, she turned back and surveyed the scene. Kyo was shaking Kagura off his arm and Yuki was talking with Shigure and Kisa. Tohru smiled, everything felt perfect right now. She didn't want to think of what's to come.

"Hey!" Hiro yelled. "Are you making tea or what!"
