Author Notes : Hello everyone it's me. Once again I own nothing, this chapter will focus on Momiji and Kyo mostly, and they will wind up at the same time the last chapter ended. Also, to answer another question, will Manabe and Hatsuharu hate each other over Yuki? Yes possibly they might, probably just at first, trust me I will have a few plot twists to make this work.

Everyone knows the first rain must be accompanied by the first ray of sunlight in order for the seed to grow. After all of the family news had been spread, Kyo had pretty much been forced to make dinner. It was that night that he lay there numb. The next day as he passed Tohru, she didn't even look at him.

'Would she have even noticed me had she never been introduced to the family?' though Kyo depressingly to himself.

But she did wave and say hello to Yuki, Kyo felt the jealousy hit, so...he was invisible now? But Yuki was still noticeable by her!? He felt betrayed by this, and extremely angry, even if she didn't remember him, why did it seem like she couldn't even see him? He did have bright red hair, was he that invisible? To those who noticed, the kitty was very angry and stomping down the hall very angrily. Until he ran straight into Momiji, the younger boy hit the ground, but Momiji was too quiet as he stood up and kept walking. Even Kyo turned to him and was confused, he followed the bunny, only because he felt sorry for having bluntly ran into him. Kyo suddenly stopped as Momiji turned to him and looked up at him, they were alone.

"Listen Momiji, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to run into you like that. And seriously, you being this quiet is freaky...what's wrong? I mean you even the darkest of times have always been a light." spoke Kyo rather concernedly.

Beyond what most people knew, Kyo didn't hate Momiji, he was annoyed by him yes, but hate him, no. Momiji and him were actually similar in a lot of ways. Kyo really didn't know that, but he really hated seeing the younger one being so quiet, it's almost like Momiji had lost all that was good in his life.

"Kyo, it's ok, I know you didn't mean to. I just...I told her about my mama. And yet she forgot me too, am I not worthy of remembering? I really don't feel like I can even muster up the courage to act happy in this time Kyo...I tried already...I just...I just..." Momiji couldn't even finish because he started crying.

Kyo didn't know what possessed him to do it but he grabbed Momiji and hugged him, he too felt like crying, he too knew he couldn't even muster up the strength to smile.

"She knew about my mother too Momiji...frankly, you and I are one and the same there. But listen to me Momiji, everything'll be alright, it has to get better once you hit rock bottom. You are worth remembering, and yeah I usually hit you when you're loud, I'm not very good with emotions Momiji...but I want you to smile, because right now all of us really need it from you. And guess what, I won't forget you." spoke Kyo's for once kind voice.

Momiji looked up at Kyo in shock, he was being so gentle, but he smiled for Kyo, and he let it shine, he let his smile finally come out, even if it was as fake as Yuki's was usually.

"Kyo, you're being awfully nice...are you sure you're not Yuki in disguise or something?" asked Momiji jokingly.

And that's when Kyo hit him, playfully that is, he didn't hit him hard, because he was angry about that remark, but right now he just couldn't hit Momiji.

"I'm not that damn rat, don't ever compare me to him. Seriously! Here I am trying to be nice to you and you call me the damned rat!" exploded Kyo at Momiji.

Momiji began giggling hysterically, infact he couldn't stop giggling, but now Kyo was utterly confused(no pun for Haru intended).

"Kyo, I was joking. You take everything too seriously, Mr. Over reactive Kitty. It's ok, I know what you meant...and I'm glad you're trying to be nicer." spoke Momiji's high pitched voice.

Kyo sighed and just palmed his forehead, suddenly he heard something and he saw Yuki and Manabe come out of the Janitor's Closet.

'What the? Why would they be in there? Oh hell, I don't care what that damn rat does with his time so I aint gonna think about it.' though Kyo to himself.

The facts of it were, Kyo didn't know what had just taken it's true place in there. He didn't care what Yuki a.k.a. the damned rat did. He looked back at Momiji who was looking out the window.

"Hey Kyo, Tohru used to always say if we needed to find you to check the highest point, so I'm guessing you like to eat lunch on the roof of the school. Would it be ok if I met you up there today? Haru's kinda boring during lunch since all he does is drool over Yuki." spoke Momiji's high pitched voice once again.

Kyo sighed inwardly, Tohru had been the one to figure that out, the roof would seem too empty without her, so he nodded at Momiji who smiled back at him. For some reason that smile, for once didn't make Kyo want to hit Momiji, for once he wanted to hug him again, but he knew that was stupid and he couldn't, or so he thought. He and Momiji walked over to the lockers, seeing some Yuki fangirls cooing over Yuki, then he saw Tohru coming up to him, his heart stopped, why would she be coming up to him?

"Um excuse me sir, but how is your hair that color? What kind of dye do you use for it? I kinda like it and was thinking maybe I should dye my hair that color." spoke Tohru's kind but empty voice.

"My name's Kyo thank you very much, and my hair is naturally this color, I don't know what kind of dye to buy for it, so I'd say to you to just keep your hair the way it is, don't change yourself for any reason Ms. Honda." spoke Kyo's overly polite and strained voice.

"Kyo...how did you know my name?" asked Tohru in an almost frightened voice.

Kyo felt very awkward now, he couldn't tell her why he knew her name obviously, he was trapped, luckily Momiji came to his rescue.

"He knows your name from the class roster, he saw your picture next to it! Don't worry, he's not lying about his hair, I don't know where to get dye like that either! By the way my name's Momiji!" spoke Momiji's overly sweet and high pitched, very loud voice.

Tohru smiled at them both and nodded and then walked off. Kyo sighed and he wished at that moment he could kiss Momiji for saving him from that...

'Wait kiss!? Since when!? Ah fuck, what do I care at this point, must just be my feelings for Tohru getting all mushed up into this.' thought Kyo to himself.

Suddenly the bell rang, Momiji went off to his class while Kyo went into his first class of the day, without Tohru...but maybe Momiji would help him out a bit...he could only hope.
