Sorry it's taken so long to update this! It's just I had to figure out what would happen next! And I did! So, onto the what-happened-in-the-last-paragraph-of-the-last-chapter. Woah, that's long……eh w/e. ONTO THE STORY!

"So do you forgive me or not? I want to make sure before I go on to the next reason I came to see you." He sure knows what to say to make me feel uncomfortable.

"O-of cours-se I for-rgiv-ve you-u." that didn't come out the way I planned. Yuki started laughing at my stuttering.

"Smooth talker I see." He said between small laughs. "but back to the other reason I came here." My embarrassed blush started fading as he started looking serious. "I came he-re t-to t-tell-l you-u th-that i…" it was his turn to stutter. I couldn't help wonder why he suddenly got nervous when a few seconds ago he was perfectly calm. "Y-you s-see I-I-" My eyes widened.

I felt a sudden pain. Straight through my chest. It burned worse then before. 'Why does it hurt so much?' I practically screamed in my mind. The moment my eyes widened, Yuki had stopped his stuttering to look at me with total concern. He was frantically asking if I was alright. I think he could have at least figured that the answer was a no. But apparently, he couldn't.

I clutched my heart (like put your fist over your heart. Ya know!). everything around me started zoning in and out. I think Yuki finally figured out that I wasn't ok because he was frantically trying to call the nurses where ever he could. Even though he didn't really move from his spot.

"Y-yuki…." I was in too much pain to make full sentences, so I had to compromise. "Y-you-u were-re sa-saying-g?" Not much of a compromise, but it works.

I had long ago caught his attention, so he was quick to answer. As I tried to keep my face as calm as possible, he pulled out a silver necklace with 2 chains. 'Why does it have 2 chains?' opon further observation, I discovered that the necklace was 2 ballet slippers with the flowing ribbons. I was shocked when he 'ripped' the necklace in half, so each chain had its own shoe.

"This isn't the time, and you should be in the hospital so you will get better, but remember, you insisted." I could help but smile at his concern. "I know you love dancing, so it thought that I'd buy this necklace, and you would wear around one half, while I had the other. That way, we would always be together."

Since I could not talk, he took the smile I had plastered on my face as a that-would-be-wonderful answer. As quickly as he could, he put one necklace around my neck, and without warning, picked me up bridal style, and ran straight for the hospital.

About 5 feet away from the door, I was struck with another surge of pain, this time I let a gasp escape my lips. Yuki of course, noticed this, and started running even faster.

At that point, everything was slowly decaying into blackness. The last thing I saw was Yuki's concerned face looking down at me as he rushed to the nearest doctor. Then, darkness.

XxXxX doodooooo XxXxX Yuki's POV XxXxX

It has been about an hour since the doctors took Senko into that room. For that past hour, I have been pacing back and forth in the waiting room. It is agonizing torture. (im sorry if you just so happen to notice that I may switch tenses, im not good at that stuff, so please bear with me!)…..(just a random a/n).

After wearing myself down with the pacing, I decide to take a nice good sit in one of those armchairs. As I lay my head down on the back of the chair, a nurse exits the room that Senko went into. I immediately stood up. A little too fast because I lost balance and landed right back down in that chair.

The nurse smiled at me, in more of amusement then sympathy. When I opened my mouth to speak, she spoke instead. (MaGiC)

"It is time for that check up of yours Mr. Sohma." The nurse tried her best not to laugh at my face. It held a look of pure…..well……pure mix up of emotions. Anger, confussion, sadness, shock, annoyance, all jumbled together into the funniest face that nurse has ever seen. "Come on now, you'll be late if you keep sitting there."

Ever so slowly I stood up. Ever so slowly I followed the nurse out of the room. Ever so slowly I watched the door that held Senko. Ever so slowly I knew she had kept something from me.

ZzZzZ sleep my pretties! ZzZzZ wizard of oz…funny ZzZzZ the next day ZzZzZ

SsSsS normal SsSsS POV SsSsS doodooooo SsSsS

Yuki lay alone. He hadn't been able to sleep a wink the previous night. He had heard nothing of Senko's condition. And frankly, he was scared.

A new nurse took Yuki to his check ups and vaccinations. He new all the doctors were hiding something from him. They all new how he worried for Senko. But there's also the fact that when he asked how he was, they'd always glance at eachother and say 'fine'. But after yesterday, he was more worried about Senko.

He was able to recognize one of the doctors as one that worked on Senko. He was slightly eager when he learned this, yet became even more frightened. It seemed as if this doctor was avoiding him.

Finally, after about, 4 hours, he was sent back to his room to rest. But first they warned him about not to do anything strenuous after getting his treatments. What strenuous thing was there to do in the hospital? You're locked in your room the whole time.

He took his time walking back to his room. Taking time to peek into other people's rooms as he passed by. Most had sleeping people, others were empty because they were getting vaccinations ad whatnot.

He let out a deep sigh when he approached his room. Closing his eyes, he stepped in and headed straight for his bed. Once he had managed to get onto his bed, though not under the covers, he let out another sigh, keeping his eyes closed.

"so you're not…..even going……to say hi…..to me?" he heard a weak voice on the other side of the room. His eyes immediately shot open and darted towards Senko's bed. And in Senko's bed, lied Senko, who was staring at him with a small smile on her lips.

Without hesitation, Yuki jumped up and ran towards her bed. Kneeling right next to the bed, making him eye level with her. Concern and panic raced through his eyes when she looked at him sadly. She soon turned away, unable to bear his stare.

"Senko…" Yuki started. "what….why are you in the hospital?" this was all he could say. The moment was too strenuous to exaggerate.

A sad smile formed on her lips. "I was first sent to the hospital when I was 5. this was for a full check up. Which included blood tests, and cat skans and all that." Senko sounded utterly sad as she spoke. "2 day later, my mom got a call from the doctors. They said that they'd found something. They said they found heart cancer." Yuki was hanging on to every word. "Of course, my mom went into total panic mode. I think that's what killed her. Her worry. It seemed to eat away at her, until she was an empty shell. Dad had been dead for a couple years then, he was murdered by a jealous employee or something. I was too young to remember. But anyway. After the fateful day, I pretty much was to live the rest of my days in the hospital, so they could keep close watch on me. And moniter my progress or something. But I hated the hospital, so I constantly ran away. Sure, it increased my mom's worry, but it made me feel like a was normal. I soon discovered I loved dance. It was what I loved to do, and still is. But running off didn't help my cancer, soon the doctors declared it had become, severe heart cancer. I didn't bother care, but withen 6 months, Mom was dead. Her worry had killed her, my uncaring had made her worry. So I was alone, but I had enough coverage to be on life support my whole life. You see, my family was very rich, and my grandma gave me total power over it. so the years went on, things only got worse. But I never cared. Over and over I'd have new room mates. All would either recover in a weeks time, or die in the middle of the night or during surgery. Lets just say, it wasn't a pleasant living experience. Now, you moved in, and I felt something different about you. You were cursed also, I didn't feel so different anymore. But this new found joy, it didn't help my condition, actually, when I got happier, the spirits made it even worse. I knew that, but the doctors didn't. all except one. Hatori Sohma. He new of my curse and I knew of his. Don't ask how. Its too confusing. But he told me all about you guys. But that's beside the point. Today, I had another heart attack, but it was much worse then the others. I know they're hiding something from me. I knw theres something they're not telling me. I know I'm going to die."

A single tear slide down Senko's cheek when she finished her little speech thing. Turning her eyes to look at Yuki, she saw that his head was down and that he too, was crying.

"I don't want you to die, Senko. I can't allow you to die." His words surprised Senko. But she suspected something like this.

"You can't control death. In a way, it controls us. But the key thins is.." Yuki looked up at Senko. "the key thing is for you to not let it control you. The key thing is to know that you're going to die, but don't let it stop you from living. And that, Yuki, is why you shouldn't cry."

They looked into each other's eyes for a few moments before Yuki suddenly jumps up.

"I just noticed! You haven't met everyone else yet! How about you meet them tomorrow when they come visit! I'm sure they'd love to meet you!" Yuki practically shouted.

"Sure, sounds fun. But so you think they want to meet you because they want to meet who you were dream kissing?" Yuki's face turned red. "I was joking. But ya know…" Senko turned away embarrassed about what she was going to say. " You know, I don't want that to be a dream anymore."

Senko turned back to Yuki when she didn't hear anything. When she turned though, her lips met Yuki's. she was shocked by this, but returned the kiss nonetheless.

They broke the kiss for a need of oxygen. Both were beet red and were panting at their lack of breath.

"Well….goodnight." Senko said in a rush as she turned towards the window and threw the sheets over her head.

"But it's only 5….." Yuki raised his eyebrow.

"What's your point?" Senko mumbled from under the sheets. Yuki laughed at this and went to his own bed to lay down and relax.

LOVE SCENE hahah. Jkjk well you now know more bout Senko. Isn't that lovely. It ook my a while, but I got it! so be HAPPY! Rejoice!
