"The one who controls the zodiac… The master of their souls."
"Stop trying to destroy our "happiness." Stay out of it. Be a good girl. Otherwise, you'll be punished."
Tohru sat up with a gasp. Her trembling fingers instantly felt for the scratch on her cheek that had healed days ago, but still stung, as if Akito had scratched her that evening. Tohru physically shivered, she pulled the comforter up to her chin. That nightmare had felt so real; the pain from the scratch and the pain of seeing all the Sohmas gone.
Gone? Tohru sat up again. What if it hadn't been a dream? What if the Sohmas really had left? She'd never get to try and break the curse. She'd never get to see both sides of Hatsuharu again, or hug Momiji. She'd never get to hear Shigure's wisdom or help Yuki in his secret base. She'd never be able to share moments with Kyo and see him smile.
Kyo? Maybe he hadn't left yet. Maybe she had time to persuade him not to go. She swung her legs over the giant bed and scurried down the hall. First, she checked Yuki's room, just in case. A small sigh of relief past through her lips as she saw the young man shift in his bed. She stood there for a second thinking how sweet peaceful he looked, when a sudden noise snapped her back to her real mission: checking on Kyo.
She scurried to his door and peeked in, his bed was a mess, as if someone had been occupying it, but had left. Left? Gone? Kyo was gone! Tohru let out a gasp as she ran to Kyo's bed, to get a better look. There it was, empty. She fell upon it; her little bursts of sobs were muffled into Kyo's pillow. She inhaled his scent. Her last conscious thought was thinking she'd never get to smell him again as she fell into a dreamless slumber.
