Chapter 3-Deciding a Destiny

Her eyes widened and she took a step back "W-What are you talking about??" she questioned. Her eyes starting to swell up with tears. She didn't know what to expect and she had no clue what he was going to next.

"I'm saying I was there when she died." He said unable to control the fear in his voice any more. From then on he spilled out everything he told her the story about how he was the there. He told the story about how they met and he told her he could have stopped it.

Everything was crashing. It was like someone took her entire world threw it up into the air and now it was crashing down and shattering into a million pieces. Tohru had no idea what to do and no idea what to think.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?! Why did you lie to me!?" Tohru screamed all of her anger and heart break stirring up at once.

"Tohru there were so many times I wanted to tell you but I couldn't…" he tried to explain desperately.

"WHY!?" she screamed again

"Tohru!! I'm sorry! I-" his voice trailed off again

"I can't believe this I trusted you!! I- I lo-" she screamed once again not trying to hold back her tears any longer.

At that moment Yuki came running and he saw Tohru's blood shoot eyes and her tear stained face. "GOD DAMN IT KYO WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!?!?" he screamed his eyes filled with rage and looking like he was honestly about to kill him.

Tohru couldn't take another minute of this and she ran out of the room she had lost all sense of time and where she was going all she knew was she had to go somewhere other than stay there.

Kyo and Yuki were still in his room shocked and astounded that she actually ran off like that. Yuki was the first one to break the silence.

"Well what the hell are you doing just sitting there!? Go after her!" Yuki ordered.

"You damn rat are you out of your mind! She hates me! She doesn't want anything to do with me anymore." he yelled trying to keep his voice steady. "You go after her! ...She's better off with you anyway..." he added looking down at the floor.

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!! SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT FUCK UP SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!" Yuki screamed

"Have you not noticed the way she looks at you!? Or the way her eyes follow you!?!? Have you not seen how she saves her smile for you!?!?! Have you not heard how she saves her laugh for you!?!?!?!? ...Do you honestly think I could get her to do that for me!? ITS ALL SAVED FOR YOU!!!" he screamed again trying so hard not to keep the tears from falling because he knew if just one fell he wouldn't be able to stop them. "stupid cat…" he muttered staring at the floor

Kyo blinked. He didn't what was going on or even what to say next. "What are you saying?" he asked

Yuki picked him by his collar and threw him against the wall and held him there. "You stupid cat are you really that fucking dense?! SHE LOVES YOU!!!" Yuki yelled and then looked down at the floor still holding kyo on the wall. "Listen you stupid cat and you listen good I didn't give her up to you of all people just so you could hurt her." He said bitterly with that he let kyo fall to the floor and left him there as he went to his room.

Kyo picked himself up and brushed off. He finally got it. Finally he knew what Yuki was screaming about. Damn… Maybe I am dense. He thought to himself. WAIT A SEC! I'm not it couldn't be! Am I felling bad for that damn rat!? I've must've lost my mind!!! He continued to think to himself. Still… I wouldn't think it'd be easy. That was his last thought before he had drifted off into a nap.

Meanwhile Yuki had not left his room. All of these emotions were swirling around his jealously of kyo the reality that Tohru was gone and his loneliness all sank in at once and it was all too much. He sank to his knees. "WHY!?" he cursed at the sky softly. "What did I do to deserve this!?" he cried. He didn't care if shigure would come in. He didn't care if kyo saw. All he knew was he couldn't hold it back and any longer. He fell to his bed and he began to sob.

Tohru had been walking for a little bit and she had a pretty good idea where she was but at that moment she didn't really care. She kept walking a few minutes had passed when she heard voice from behind say, "Hey stupid girl where you going???" she turned around and sure enough it was Hiro with Kisa trailing behind him.

"Hiro… Don't call people stupid it's not nice." She said in her usual small voice tugging on his sleeve trying to get his attention.

"Okay fine!!! I'm… Sorry.." he said painfully like a little kid that didn't want to take their medicine.

I can't let them know what happened mom! How would I even tell them?? she thought to herself "It's okay hiro." she said smiling slightly"really I'm fine." She added

Hiro was nowhere near satisfied or convinced. "Don't bother lying to me stupid girl it won't work you know? It's like in that one movie about a puppet or something? That couldn't tell a lie."

"Hiro… What are you talking about???" kisa asked laughing at him a little. "And she has a name you know and that's not what it is." she added

Hiro blushed ever so slightly and then said, "Okay fine then!!! But there is something wrong with Tohru it's written all over her face for the world to see!"he said.

It couldn't be mom could it? Is Hiro actually worried about me?? Tohru thought to herself.

There is no way. There is no flipping way I would rather die than have that stupid girl know that I'm… That I might be... worried... Hiro thought

"It's okay Hiro some things have happened and I just need some time to think and clear my head." She said smiling a little. This satisfied him a little bit but not a lot.

"Alright…" he mumbled "just as long as you are not sad I guess..." he added mumbling again

"What do you mean Hiro?" Kisa questioned pulling on his sleeve again.

"Well maybe I might kinda sorta not hate you a little in a lot sorta way and it gets me ticked off when you're not being you. Cuz it just doesn't seem right… I guess…" he grumbled out all at once while staring at the ground.

"Hiro… I'm totally lost. I don't understand. How can something be a little and a lot at the same time?" Kisa questioned again really confused.

"Oh forget it!!!"Hiro shouted and he was about to storm off but not before he heard what Tohru had to say.

"Its okay Hiro I understand." She said in a loud whisper smiling slightly.

"You do?"he asked skeptically.

"Yeah I do I think anyway" she answered laughing "Really though I'll be fine. All I need is just a little time to think and the next time you see me I'll be good as new I promise." she answered

"Yeah fine whatever… Just don't go getting used to it or anything it was a one time thing." He said indifferently.

"Of course Hiro I know." she said smiling a little.

"I still don't get it though…"kisa said still just as lost as before.

"It's okay Kisa I'll explain it on the way home" he said smiling..

"Okay whatever you say. Bye bye sissy!!!" she called after Tohru.

Tohru nodded and waved good-bye.

Tohru sat on the ground of a park she had gone to many times with her mother that was near a pond that she knew of. There she was lost in her own thoughts. How am I going to face him? How am I going to go back to that house? She kept thinking I can't lie to Hiro and Kisa they didn't have anything to do with it and neither did Sohma-kun or Shigure-san. OH MY GOSH POOR SOHMA-KUN MOM!!! She just realized. He seemed so hurt when I ran off like that. Suddenly she heard a noise from behind her. What was that??? She thought her mind begining to race.

"Its okay Tohru..." A soft calming voice said from behind.

She turned around. Sure enough it was Yuki himself.

"Hey Sohma-kun." she said trying to keep her voice steady. Wait a sec! Did he just call me Tohru?! She thought to herself

Yuki took a few steps closer and leaned down so they were eye to eye. "Tohru… You don't have to hold it in. That's why I came here." he reassured in a really gentle and calm voice.

All of these thoughts were racing threw her head. He did he just called me Tohru mom! What should I do? Should I tell him I'm okay?? What do I do mom?? She thought

Tohru could see that Yuki was coming just a bit a closer but not any farther because he was 'the gentleman' after all and was going to let her make the final decision. She knew she couldn't hold it in any longer so she didn't want to try. A tear began to fall and then another one and then many after that. She began to cry on his shoulder and she could feel Yuki drawing her in just close enough so he wouldn't transform. Yuki didn't want to let her go he savored every moment he had. Tohru completely lost track of all sense of time. All she was aware of was the rhythmic patting and rubbing on her back like you would a child and Yuki's chin resting on head. Yuki didn't say a word he just continued to let her cry. Finally after about a half hour to forty-five minutes she had lifted her head and Yuki whipped away the last of her tears.

"Better?" he asked smiling a little.

"Yeah... Thank you so much Sohma-kun you're a good friend," Tohru sniffed.

Those words hit him like a thousand knives stabbing all over his entire body but somehow he managed to smile when he saw that she was happier than she was before.

"I'm glad you're happy now," Yuki said simply "Lets go home now." he added smiling.

"Home…"she said "That's sounds great." She added smiling finally

They were home shortly only Tohru could definitely sense there was something on Yuki's mind when they were almost there. She noticed that he just stopped at the steps and didn't go any farther. The next thing she knew he had turned around facing her his eyes looking into hers.

"Sohma-kun?"she asked a little worried.

Seconds afterward she could feel Yuki drawing her in again only this time it was different. His eyes were closed and before she knew it his lips were on her own and as he was gripping her hand she was gripping back. This can't be real mom!!! Am I falling for Yuki?!

MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! So what do you think of that ending??? Let me know thoughts are good. I like thoughts. Was it good? Was it bad? Was it funny??? What did you like. What you didn't like. All that jazz...and stuff.
