Ok I'm slightly terrified that my faithful fans might have left me so any reassurance would be great (such as reviews cough cough). Also I'm so sorry about this huge wait. I went away for a while, then I came back, and then I left again. Instead of boring you with the details I'll get on with the story.

Point of No Return

The Next Day at School

Kyra's POV

"I suggest you fix it before I'm forced to erase your memories." … "You must accompany me to Greece over the summer." … "Kyra are you alright?" … Oh god, oh god, oh god. Tears blurred my eyes as I stared at my final. I couldn't concentrate at all. When ever I went to write a word my hand shook so much nothing that came out was legible.

After twenty minutes of fruitless attempts I stood up. Haru glanced at me questioningly and went rigid when he saw my tears but I couldn't face him. As quietly as I could I made my way to the front of the room. At first the teacher looked kind of angry but the sight of me caused concern to emerge.

"Are you alright Miss Titsugumi?" He asked slowly standing. I wanted to scream 'no' and break down there but I knew this wasn't the place or the time.

"I need to go to the nurse." I mumbled and I felt a tear escape. A small war inside of me fought for the release of a horde of tears but I bit my lip in response.

"Yes, of course. Do you need someone to go with you?" He didn't wait for an answer before both Haru and Jacob hurried to my sides. I didn't even try to talk again for fear of exploding so I just worked my way to the door on trembling legs.

On the way to the nurse's office neither of my escorts spoke. They each had one of my arms but I could barely feel the touch. I could feel my mind being pulled into a void but I had no more strength to fight it. Wait until the nurse's office. Hold on hold on! I screamed on the inside trying not to let go but I had entered a trance. I was not longer there.

Haru's POV

All morning Kyra had been acting strangely and now she felt like she was going to melt. I could see my chest rise and fall with each frantic beat of my heart. When we were a few feet from the Nurse's office Kyra stopped walking. The tears in her eyes disappeared and her shaking slowed. Looking into her face you could easily tell she wasn't there, yet her body still worked.

"Kyra? Are you ok?" Jacob asked squeezing her arm slightly. She didn't even react. Instead she continued into the office and collapsed onto one of the cots.

Tohru's POV

3x+7y5y-13 solve:

Ok, um…3x+12y-13… The test seemed to be flying by. Yuki had helped me study even under the circumstances but it had been very awkward. I glanced at him from across the room and he seemed to feel my gaze. We locked eyes and I smiled at him but he just nodded and returned to his test. Next I looked at Kyo. He was furiously answering all the questions on his test as if he was competing with Yuki here too. I wouldn't be surprised if they were.

Ever since the news about Kyo and I got out the tension between Yuki and Kyo has thickened. Kyra and Shigure constantly make stupid jokes trying to lighten the moods at the dinner table but they very rarely work. Of course I always try to help by laughing at his or her jokes but then everyone acts concerned for me. They assume that I'm hallucinating or something to laugh at such horrible jokes.

"Alright everyone, you have five minutes to finish part one before lunch." The teacher announced. Quickly I submerged myself in my test and stopped thinking about the world around me.

Nurse's Office

Kyra's POV

"Are you feeling any better Miss Titsugumi?" The pleasantly plump nurse asked kindly. Her friendly blue eyes searched my face.

"May I please go home?" I asked quietly. I had resurfaced and I knew what I must do. The pressure was building behind my eyes again.

"Yes, do you have anyone to call? Here it says you have three residencies. Which should I call, Sohma Estate, Shigure Sohma's house, or Titsugumi Residence?"

After School

Kyo's POV

"Where's Kyra?" I asked Haru and Momiji as they hurried towards us.

"She went to the nurse's office at the beginning of the tests and never came back. I think she went home." He looked worried.

"Oh my was she alright?" Tohru asked. "We should hurry home to check on her."

"Do you think Momiji and I could come for dinner tonight?" Haru asked looking hopeful. Yuki, Tohru, and I all shook our heads yes.

The walk home seemed to take forever today but eventually we made it. When the house came into view we all hurried our pace and almost ran. Haru was first to the door but the rest of us weren't far behind him.

"Welcome home everyone!" Shigure greeted us cheerfully.

"Where's Kyra?" Haru asked rather harshly.

"What do you mean I thought she was coming home with all of you?" All of our eyes grew big and we rushed to the phone.

It was on speaker as it rang and a tired voice answered.

"Hello?"

"Hi, I was, we were wondering if a Kyra Titsugumi was there?"

"Um, let me check." Clicking was heard in the background.

Kyra's POV

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I have made my decision. I will go to Greece with you as long as you attend the benefit." Tears brimmed but I was staring at the floor so he couldn't tell.

"Good, we leave the day after tomorrow. You will take your finals tomorrow as well as pack because we leave rather early. Also you will sleep here tonight. Your uniform can be washed and ready for tomorrow so there is no need for you to get anything for where ever you reside now." I nodded and headed off to my room.

It was just as cold and un-welcoming as I remembered. This was never a safe haven; it was a jail cell with automatic locks. Already the void that had been filling over these few months began to drain and I cried myself to sleep.

Shigure's House continued

"Um, no there is no Kyra Titsugumi checked into this hospital. I'm sorry. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No thank you. Bye."

"Bye now."

School the next day

Kyra's POV

I avoided any familiar faces on my way to class. Anyone who called my name was ignored. I entered the classroom and began my test right away so no one had a chance to speak to me. There was someone right over my shoulder watching me silently but I didn't dare look up to see who it was. Haru. I was sure it was him. Without even looking I was sure. I didn't want to tell him goodbye or anyone else for that matter.

The test period didn't take long. As soon as I finished before lunch the teacher dismissed me. On autopilot I made my way to the roof and leaned against the wall in the afternoon sun. Escape. My mind seemed to relax slightly as I stood there but the sound of footsteps on the stairs told me he was coming. I decided to hide as best I could in a limited amount of time. The flash of white hair told me he had followed me. He knew I would come up here.

"Kyra, I know you're here. Why are you hiding from me? I thought we had finally broken down our shields again. What happened?" There was a plea in his voice. For the second day in a row tears ran down my face and I tried to control the shudders. I must have made a noise because he walked right over to my hiding place. "Kyra?"

I didn't want to face him so I fled. Across the roof and down the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me. I could hear Haru's hurried pursuit. As I ran around the corner I lost my footing. Haru was there in a second and slide to a stop next to me.

"What… is wrong…with you?" He was out of breath.

"Everything." I whispered.

"What?"

"Everything!" I screamed this time and got up completely avoiding all contact. I didn't even look him in the eye. The bell rang and I walked off to class without another word.

End of the Period

Haru's POV

I handed my test to the teacher and turned to leave before I saw it, a folded piece of paper on my desk. I walked over and recognized the handwriting imediately. I glanced around and she was gone.

Shigure's House

Tohru's POV

"I'm sorry I didn't come home last night or call. I was at my father's and he forbade me call anyone. Anyway I just came to get my things; I'm leaving for Greece tomorrow. I'll be gone the entire summer and I thought I should tell you guys. Well I already packed so I'll see you in a few months." With that Kyra picked up her bag and just left. Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, and I all stood stunned for a few minutes.

"Was she kidding?" Kyo asked, his mouth hanging open slightly.

"I don't think so." Yuki responded just as baffled.

Sohma Estate

Haru's POV

Dear Haru,

If you are reading this then I did not build up enough courage to tell you myself. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you earlier but I'm telling you now. I'm leaving for Greece tomorrow early in the morning. I'm traveling with my father for the entire summer. I didn't even know I was going until yesterday so you can't be too angry with me.

I have been under a lot of pressure from everyone this week and I can no longer take it. Maybe when I return I will be cured. You can have no idea how much it hurts to not say good bye to you in person, but I don't think I could say a coherent sentence right now. I'll try to send you letters but I can't promise anything. I'm not sure I can send things from where I'm going.

I also want you to know that I would understand if you met someone over the summer in my absence. A few months are a long time and I don't expect you to have to wait for me. I have been a crappy conversationalist lately anyway. Have a nice summer Hatsuharu.

Always your friend,

Kyra Titsugumi

"What's that?" A voice startled me. I was reading Kyra's letter for the fourth time.

"Hmm?" I glanced up and saw Rin trying to read over my shoulder. Automatically I folded the letter again before she got too far.

"Do you mind I was reading that!" She feigned anger but smiled in spite of herself. "It isn't that big of a deal if she is going away for the summer. She'll come back."

"She told me she would… never mind." I stood and started to walk away.

"What would she do?" I hesitated but I just need to vent.

"Understand if I met someone over the summer and that she didn't expect me to wait for her to come home." Rin cringed on my behalf on that one. "I know." I stuffed the letter in my pocket and continued walking.

Titsugumi Residence

Kyra's POV

"Excuse my intrusion father but you should get ready for the benefit soon."

"Yes, in a minute." He replied not really listening. He continued to scribble on a piece of paper after ten minutes had passed.

"Father really, you have twenty minutes before you have to be there." He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Fine." He stood and walked out of the room. I started to go get ready when he stopped me. "Where are you going?"

"To the benefit with you."

"No you aren't. Now get in your room and closed the door."

"But I haven't even eaten dinner yet father why do I…."

"Silence!" He yelled and slapped me across the face. My face stung but I held in the tears. Tears always made it worse. "Go to your room." Slowly I stood and hurried to my room and shut the door. I heard the lock click into place. Entering my adjoining bathroom I cared for my new bruise and took a shower.

Then I crawled into bed and stared at the ceiling. What have I done?

A nice long chapter. I hope everyone enjoyed. Now on to proof reading!
