"Kyo?"
"Kagura I have something to tell you…" whispered Kyo softly.
"Kyo, come inside and dry yourself! You're soaking wet!" cried Kagura.
Kyo stepped in and Kagura ran off to go get some towels. He took off his wet sweater and dropped it by the door. She handed him a couple of towels.
"Thanks…" he mumbled as he dried his hair.
"I'll go make some tea so you can warm up!" exclaimed Kagura as she ran off to the kitchen.
"How am I going to tell her?" wondered Kyo as he took a seat on the couch.
He felt very weak because of the rain.
Kagura sat next to him asking, "Now what was so important that you came out here in the rain? I know you hate the rain and wouldn't come out unless it was VERY important."
Kyo was silent for a while.
"Kyo are you okay? What's wrong? Did something happen?" asked Kagura worriedly.
"…..No everyone is fine…" replied Kyo.
"What is it then?" asked Kagura.
"Er…"
"Maybe I shouldn't pressure him… He seems very nervous and uncomfortable," thought Kagura.
"Kagura I lov---," started Kyo as the tea kettle rang loudly.
"AHHHHH! My tea! Hang on a sec! Let me get the tea! Please don't be burnt!" cried Kagura as she ran off to the kitchen.
"Damn it!" Kyo silently yelled.
Kagura poured the tea into two cups and came back into the living room handing Kyo a cup.
"What is it that you wanted to tell me?" asked Kagura as she sat down again.
"Kagura, I--- I- I lo--- I love you!" Kyo blurted out.
"What!" choked Kagura.
"Kagura, I love you…. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before…. I just wanted to let you know…" replied Kyo.
Kagura's eyes filled with tears.
"Arg! What's wrong? What did I do this time?" Kyo asked panicky.
"I'm so happy! I love you too Kyo-kun! I was always waiting for you to say that! This makes me so happy!" breathed Kagura as she threw her arms around Kyo.
Kyo relaxed and smiled.
"Was that all you wanted to tell me?" asked Kagura.
"Um…no…." mumbled Kyo.
He dropped down to one knee and pulled out a small box. He opened it reveling a beautiful diamond ring.( But not as beautiful as Yuki's ring for Tohru of course!)
"Kagura, will you marry me?"
"Kyo-kun….. Of course I'll marry you!" answered Kagura happily.
Kyo slipped the ring onto Kagura's left ring finger and embraced her tightly.
Kagura grinned admiring her ring and new fiancée.
(Now you all say AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!)
"Christy I already forgave you. You don't need to ask me these questions…" groaned Charlie.
"This isn't about you forgiving me or not. I just want to know what Yuki could've possibly done to make you want to kill him," replied Christy.
"It's none of your business!" snapped Charlie.
"What are you going to do? Hit me? You can't even move. But seriously what did he do? Beating you up? That's your fault though. And beating you up is not a good enough reason to want to kill someone," asked Christy.
"He didn't just beat me up he--!" started Charlie.
He remained quiet.
"He did what? C'mon! Tell me! It'll make you feel better…. You shouldn't keep things that make you upset to yourself. Tell me! I promise I won't laugh or make fun of you!" swore Christy.
"Well it all started when…."
Flashback
"Motoko, I love you,"
Motoko was silent.
"Motoko, what's wrong" asked Charlie worriedly.
Motoko started to cry.
"Motoko, what? Did I do something? Why are you crying? Is it because of me?"
"Charlie I---,"
"Motoko, you can tell me… Please… I really love you,"
"I'm sorry…" wept Motoko.
"Sorry? For what? What are you trying to say?" asked Charlie.
"Charlie, I really like you and all but—!" sobbed Motoko.
"But what I don't understand?" asked Charlie.
"I can't love you because I still love Yuki," confessed Motoko.
Charlie stared at her blankly. Reality didn't sink in just yet.
"I'm sorry Charlie… We can still be friends, 'kay? Sorry… I'll go now…" Motoko apologized as she turned to leave.
Charlie sank to the floor confused. Finally the truth hit him. She had left him. Motoko chose Yuki over him. This was all Yuki's fault. He had lost the girl he loved to Yuki…
End Flashback
"Charlie, are you okay? You look a little pale…" breathed Christy worriedly.
"Everything would have been better if we didn't come to Japan…" mumbled Charlie.
"Charlie, what are you talking about? You wouldn't have met her at all if you didn't come here! If you truly love her you won't give up! You'll fight for her! Even if she rejects you can't give up because that's true love!" exclaimed Christy.
"I thought true love was, wanting their happiness over yours…" replied Charlie.
"Charlie listen to me, her love for Yuki can't be real because he has already found his true love. True love only works between two people. If you truly love someone then they'll truly love you back. Everything else is a crush or family love," explained Christy.
Charlie sighed.
"All you have to do now is figure out if your love for Motoko is real or not. If it is real then you have to go fight for her heart," Christy told him.
"Christy what can I do? I'm here stuck in bed all day. I can barely move a muscle," Charlie murmured.
"That's why I'm here. All you have to do is tell me if you truly love Motoko or not and I'll help you with the rest," insisted Christy.
Charlie smiled gratefully and nodded slightly.
"Now go get some rest!" ordered Christy.
Christy walked out of the room, turned off the light and closed the door. Charlie closed his eyes tiredly. There was a throbbing pain in his back but he attempted to sleep.
"What should I do? Christy might tell HIM! How embarrassing! But if I get Motoko back then it doesn't matter. But do I truly love her? How do I feel about her? Is it really love or just jealousy for Yuki? Maybe I just want her because she wants Yuki…" Charlie thought getting frustrated.
Yume was on her way to go see Tohru and Yuki with Sakura and Lei. (Sakura is staying with Yume because both Yuki and Tohru are in the hospital. She would stay with the Sohmas but Yume was the one who rescued her…)
"Yume! Wait!" called Christy running after Yume.
"What do you want?" Yume asked coldly.
(A little mad that Christy loves Yuki)
"Please just listen to me…" pleaded Christy.
"What do you want? Can't you see that you're bothering her?" asked Lei.
Yume shushed him.
"I'm listening," replied Yume.
"I think the best way to solve the conflict between Yuki and Charlie is to help Charlie get over his problems…." Breathed Christy nervously.
"Yeah, so why should I care?" Yume asked as she turned to leave.
"I don't think you want something like that to happen again to your friends," Christy muttered.
Yume froze, "What do you want me to do?"
"Can you ask Yuki and Tohru about Motoko?" begged Christy.
"I don't know what that'll do… Why can't you do it?" asked Lei.
"Please! It's embarrassing for me to see them together….. I'm ashamed of what I did…" murmured Christy.
"Fine I'll do it but first explain what that'll do," agreed Yume.
"Well Charlie kidnapped Tohru because his girlfriend, Motoko broke up with him because of her love for Yuki… The thing is he still loves her and blamed Yuki for what happened between them… I'm thinking if we get Motoko to see that Charlie really loves her she may love him back then Charlie has no reason to stay mad at Yuki…" explained Christy.
"Okay, meet me at the cafeteria later today and I'll get all the information I can from them but why don't you just ask Charlie?" suggested Yume.
"I don't want to worry him…" Christy replied.
Yume nodded and turned to go to Yuki and Tohru's room. She knocked softly on the door. No response. Yume looked at Lei worriedly.
"Open the door," shrugged Lei.
"But that's an invasion of privacy…" criticized Yume.
"It's a public hospital. Nurses come and go without knocking," retorted Lei.
"You open it then!" dared Yume.
"Fine I will!" accepted Lei as he slowly turned the door knob.
"Yuki? Tohru? Are you guys in here?" whispered Yume quietly entering the room.
It was very quiet. They took a few more steps into the room and smiled. Yuki and Tohru were still asleep in the same position as before with Tohru snuggling next to Yuki but now his arm was draped around her shoulders. His hand raised slightly in a half wave as his eyes focused on them. They jumped back a little startled that Yuki was awake. He lifted his other index fingers to his lips hushing them.
"How long were you awake?" whispered Yume.
"Woke up when you entered…" murmured Yuki.
"Sorry for waking you…" Lei softy apologized.
"It's okay… How is Sakura? Is she a hassle?" Yuki asked softly.
"Not at all! She's wonderful!" replied Yume quietly.
"That's good…. Congratulations… So you're engaged?" asked Yuki.
"Huh? Oh yeah… How did you know?" asked Yume with a slight blush.
"Well you're wearing a ring…" Yuki told her with a smile.
They both blushed slightly.
"I'll let you tell Tohru yourself…" Yuki told them.
"Tell me what?" asked Tohru as she sat up.
She blushed when she realized that Yume and Lei were in the room.
"Sakura!" exclaimed Tohru happily getting out of bed and rushing over to Yume.
Yume smiled and handed Sakura to Tohru. Sakura beamed happily.
"I understand, choosing the baby over your own husband who risked his life to get you back…" teased Yuki.
"Well you aren't that fun when you're stuck in the hospital!" Tohru joked.
"It is you're fault that I'm in the hospital with two broken ribs…" Yuki kidded.
"Well that means I get to hold Sakura twice as much!" cried Tohru happily embracing the little girl.
They all laughed. Yuki winced slightly.
"Yuki are you okay?" asked Tohru worriedly.
"So you do care?" teased Yuki.
"I'm serious Yuki!" exclaimed Tohru.
"Don't worry hime (princess), I'll be fine as long as you don't leave me," replied Yuki.
"I'll never leave you!" Tohru grinned as she squeezed his hand.
Lei cleared his throat.
"Oh yes! What is it that you wanted to tell me?" asked Tohru excitedly.
Yume grinned and held out her left hand to Tohru who squealed when she saw the ring.
"You're engaged!" gasped Tohru.
"Yes!" sang Yume and Lei.
"Congratulations! We're so happy for you!" cried Tohru embracing Yume.
"Thanks!" Yume and Lei thanked them.
"This might sound random but what do you guys know about Motoko?" Yume asked.
"Motoko? Why do you want to know?" asked Yuki and Tohru.
"I really don't know why…. Christy asked me to get as much information about Motoko for her…" replied Yume.
"Why does she want information on Motoko?" Yuki asked.
"I have no idea what she is going to do but she said something about stopping the conflict between you two…" Yume told them.
"How would Motoko solve the problem?" asked Tohru.
"Well she said something about how Charlie only kidnapped you because he blamed Yuki for Motoko breaking up with him," explained Yume.
"I guess I kind of get it but I really don't know much about Motoko… Sorry…" replied Yuki.
"Me neither…" agreed Tohru.
"Oh well I guess she can always find out information on Motoko somewhere else…" Yume sighed.
"Tohru-Chan! Yuki-kun!" sang Kagura as she entered the room happily with Kyo.
"Hi Kagura-san! Kyo-kun!" greeted Tohru.
"Hi Kagura… Stupid cat…" Yuki greeted.
"Damn rat…" mumbled Kyo.
"Kagura, Kyo, This is Yume and Lei… Yume, Lei this is Kagura and Kyo Sohma!" introduced Tohru.
"Nice to meet you!" exclaimed Kagura.
"Yeah… Whatever…" murmured Kyo.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," replied Yume.
Lei nodded but didn't say much.
"Tohru, Yuki-kun look!" cried Kagura holding out her left hand in front of Tohru and Yuki.
"Congratulations," Yuki responded with a smile while Tohru gasped happily.
Tohru embraced Kagura shrieking, "Congratulations! Two engagements! I can't believe it!"
"Two?" asked Kyo.
"Yep ours," replied Lei wrapping his arm around Yume's shoulders.
"Oh my! Congratulations too!" squealed Kagura.
"You too!" cried Yume.
Sakura let out a soft wail. Everyone laughed or smiled.
"I guess she wants some attention from her mother!" Yume told Tohru handing the child to Tohru.
"Awww! Hush….. Don't you like spending time with your aunt Yume?" asked Tohru.
Sakura smiled and giggled.
"I guess that's a yes," laughed Yuki.
"She just missed her mommy that's all!" replied Kagura patting the little girl's arm.
"Don't laugh too hard rat boy! You might break another rib!" Kyo told him smirking.
"Keep saying stupid comments and your face might break," replied Yuki.
"What is that a threat from a cripple?" asked Kyo.
"If I was missing all my limbs you still wouldn't be able to win," replied Yuki.
"What!" snapped Kyo.
"Kyo! Be nice we're here to visit Yuki-kun and Tohru-Chan!" scolded Kagura slapping his head.
"What do you guys not like each other?" Lei asked Yuki and Kyo.
"Well it is pretty hard to like Kyo…. That's why I admire Kagura for being able to put up with him let alone love him," teased Yuki.
"What did you say rat boy? Say that again!" yelled Kyo.
"Which part, the one about it being hard to like you or how it's incredible that Kagura can tolerate you?" Yuki asked.
"Shut up!" snapped Kyo.
"Why don't both of you guys shut up?" suggested Lei.
"What? Do you want to start something?" yelled Kyo.
"Maybe I do… What are you going to do about it?" retorted Lei.
"Okay new topic!" interrupted Kagura and Yume.
"Any plans for the weddings?" asked Tohru.
"Um…. I'm not sure…" replied Yume.
"Me neither…. Oh! I have the best idea! Why don't we combine our weddings and make an extra large celebration!" offered Kagura happily.
"That's sounds like a great idea! We'll save so much money since we'll be having a lot of the same people!" added Yume.
"So wonderful! And everyone will only need one fancy outfit!" exclaimed Kagura.
"What day should it be in?" asked Yume.
"I say spring!" cried Kagura.
"Me too! How about March of next year?" asked Yume.
"Sounds nice! How about the fourteenth of March next year?" suggested Kagura.
"Perfect!" agreed Yume.
"Oh! How about we have an outdoor wedding? Yuki-kun and Tohru-Chan's wedding was so lovely!" gushed Kagura.
"That sounds so lovely! Tohru you have to show me some pictures!" cried Yume.
"Um… are you guys even going to ask for our opinions?" asked Lei.
"I didn't really plan on it…." Answered Yume.
"Yeah… me neither… We girls can plan the wedding without you boys! Leave it to us!" Kagura grinned.
"Tohru you must be our bride's maid!" exclaimed Yume.
"Eh?"
"Should we have one set of Bride's maids or two?" asked Kagura.
"I don't know but Tohru has to be mine!" cried Yume.
"Then one set of bride's maids because I want Tohru-kun to be my bride's maid too!" sang Kagura.
"Do you guys even care about her opinion?" asked Lei, Kyo and Yuki.
"Eh?"
"Oh! Sorry Tohru! Wouldn't you like to be our bride's maid?" asked Yume and Kagura.
"Of course I would!" exclaimed Tohru happily.
"We should ask Kisa and Rin!" suggested Kagura.
"Who?" asked Yume and Lei.
"They are our cousins," explained Kyo and Yuki.
"Yes they both should be bride's maids since Kisa-san is too old now to be the flower girl!" agreed Tohru.
"Do you really think that Isuzu will say yes?" asked Kyo.
"I agree… She doesn't seem like the type to wear a formal gown and all…" agreed Yuki.
"Maybe Haru-kun can persuade her to…." Replied Kagura.
"Who's gonna be the flower girl then?" muttered Kyo and Lei.
"Sakura of course!" replied Kagura and Yume.
"Eh? Sakura? Isn't she too young?" asked Yuki and Tohru.
"Not at all! Next year she'll be one!" responded Yume.
"Shouldn't you ask them if they want her to be the flower girl?" asked Lei.
"Not at all! It's our wedding so everything has to go our way!" exclaimed Yume and Kagura.
"I can't believe it there are two of them…" Lei and Kyo thought as Kagura and Yume continued to make plans.
Sakura started to cry. Tohru and Yuki yawned.
"I guess that means it's time to head home," laughed Yume.
"Yeah... I'm a little tired too, C'mon Kyo-kun…" agreed Kagura.
"We have to meet up some day," replied Yume as she picked up Sakura.
"Yes, maybe when Tohru is out of the hospital. So we can all talk about the wedding," added Kagura.
They all nodded and Kyo, Kagura, Yume, Lei and Sakura left. Tohru yawned again tiredly.
"Well there's finally some peace and quiet," laughed Yuki.
"Yes, they were here almost the whole day!" exclaimed Tohru.
Tohru exhaustedly dropped down beside Yuki.
"Good night my hime…" murmured Yuki as he kissed the top of her head.
Cafeteria
"Yume! Over here!" Christy called waving to Yume from a table.
"Hey Christy… Have you been waiting long?" greeted Yume walking over to
Christy.
"No, only a few minutes. So find anything out about Motoko?" asked Christy.
"Sorry… Yuki and Tohru didn't know anything about Motoko…" replied Yume.
"Great! I was counting on them for information…." Exclaimed Christy.
"You could always ask Charlie…" suggested Yume.
"I guess I have no choice… I really didn't want to bother him but I have to now… I hope he remembers her number and stuff like that…" replied Christy.
"Well if you need any help you can call me! I'll be happy to help!" Yume told her.
"Thanks… I hope this works…"
The end! Review!
