A/N—Thanks so much for the reviews! They make me happy. Yay! I love you guys! Well, we're getting there! The end is coming in a few chapters. Yuki's so cute trying for Tohru. I feel bad for him. Don't worry, things will be looking up soon. Also, this is in Yuki's last year at high school. This is sort of where a little bit YukixKimi comes in. I hope you will give the pairing a chance! Kimi's gonna seem OOC, but it's only because she's showing a side of her she's never shown before.

Yuki stood in front of the whiteboard in the student council room. He looked around at the student council, and everyone looked expectantly back at him. He searched his mind for something to say, and a topic that had been nagging at his conscience for a while now rushed to his mind.

"As you know, I'll soon be graduating." Yuki began. "That means a new president will have to be elected." This was true, and everyone got excited and started talking all at once—except for Kimi. She was being awfully quiet, and seemed deep in thought.

"Kimi?" Yuki said questioningly, in an attempt to pull Kimi out of her daydream. No one had seemed to notice how quiet she was being before, since, as usual, Nabe and Naohito had been arguing. But now, they all noticed, and were staring at her in a concerned manner.

Kimi pulled herself out of her thoughts, and, looking around, blushed deeply. Then she put on a happy face and said, "Sorry! Kimi didn't mean to concern you. I was just thinking. Now, what were we talking about?"

Yuki was caught off guard at how humble Kimi was. It almost reminded him of Tohru, which surprised him even more. "We were talking about…how elections needed to be held…" Yuki said in a daze.

"Oh, that's right; you're graduating, Yunyun." Kimi reminded herself. "Well then, let's get to work!" She said determinedly, and began to focus on the task at hand.

The rest of the meeting went smoothly, and Kimi didn't zone out anymore. Machi, as usual, said as few words as possible. Naohito, as usual, yelled a lot. Manabe, as usual, did idiotic but funny things. And Kimi, as usual, was perky and happy. Yuki was relieved they were acting like their normal selves instead of putting a sympathetic front up for him. In fact, everything went so smoothly, that by the end of the meeting they had gotten a lot done; Kimi's unusual behavior had been almost forgotten.

However, it had not been completely forgotten, and when Kimi caught up with Yuki as he walked home, Yuki became a bit tense.

"Hey there, Yunyun!" Kimi said with a wave as she approached Yuki.

"Hey, Kimi, what's up?" Yuki replied.

"I was wondering if…well…we could go somewhere?"

"Right now?"

"Yup, I have my heart set on it."

"Um…I'm not sure I could go anywhere…" Yuki said a bit nervously. "Wh-what did you have in mind?"

At that Kimi rather panicked. "Um, Yunyun, don't misunderstand me! Not like a date or anything! No! Kimi just wanted to visit Tohru-san!"

Comprehension and relief ran over Yuki's face, followed soon after by confusion. "Why?" Yuki blurted out before he could think.

Kimi blushed and became suddenly interested in her feet. Staring intently at them, she said, "W-well…that is…you see… I think I can understand what you're going through with Tohru-san more than a lot of people. For you see…" at this, she stared into Yuki's eyes. "Kimi herself has lost someone extremely important to her. Kimi thinks… that Tohru-san is extremely important to you."

At this Kimi blushed and averted her gaze to the ground again. "I'm sorry, is this too weird?" she asked in embarrassment. "When Kimi lost her best friend, she really needed someone to talk to! So I thought you might! I'm sorry!"

Yuki stopped walking and stood in shock for a moment, then laughed. He couldn't help himself.

Kimi stared up at Yuki in surprise, and then tears slowly began to form in her eyes. "Wh-what? You're laughing? Oh, I knew this was a bad idea."

Yuki stopped laughing and smiled gently down at Kimi. "No," he said. "It's just…this is exactly what I need. I didn't realize it before, but that's exactly what I need--someone to talk to. Thank you."

At this, Kimi wiped away her tears with her sleeves, then smiled up at Yuki. Suddenly, she spontaneously hugged Yuki, making Yuki glad Tohru had broken the curse. "Kimi is glad we understand each other." Kimi said, and at that moment, the sun shined more brightly than it had all day, and Kimi and Yuki both looked towards the sky. "Tohru-san." Kimi said.

"Yeah." Yuki said in amazement and happiness. "Do you still want to go to the graveyard?"

"No…" Kimi said. "I think Tohru's right here with us." And with that, she plopped down on the sidewalk.

Yuki sat down next to her. "Yes." he said with a smile. "Let's be with her for a while, right here."

A/N—That was an adorable, if not awkward to write, chapter. I have an idea that should make the next chapter delightful, so I'm looking forward to it. That means you have to review, because the more reviews I get, the quicker I update. So please please review.
