(R.e.c.a.p)
"Wake up!Please Kyo-kun!"Tohru pleaded in between sobs."You can't die!"Still crying,Tohru put her ear to Kyo's chest and heard a faint heartbeat and steady breathing.'He's still alive.'She thought,praying that he wouldn't die.At least not now."Honda-san!"Yuki called,but then stopped when he saw the familiar orange-head lying in the snow."Oh my god..."Yuki said,as Shigure came up behind him."Tohru-kun...I'm sorry."Shigure said.'This must be the feeling of dread she was talking about.'He thought,feeling sympathy for the poor girl.
Tohru sat up and her eyes widened as she saw Kyo's head turn toward her."Hey...who are you?"
(N.o.w. T.h.e. A.c.t.u.a.l. S.t.o.r.y)
"Kyo-kun...it's me Tohru..."Tohru couldn't believe that he had forgotten who she was."I'll call an ambulance!"Shigure said,running back to the house.Kyo had a dazed,but distant look on his face."He must have been hit on the head or something.Possibly hit by a car."Yuki said solemnly.He didn't want Tohru to cry.The tears cascaded down Tohru's face as she gripped his hand.She could feel the pulse of his heart,but it was faint.
(C.u.e. T.h.e. B.e.s.t. F.r.i.e.n.d.s)
"Hana,you and your wave reports...again."Arisa said,walking side-by-side with Saki."Are you sure something's wrong with Tohru?I know you were right last time but if she was in trouble don't you think she would've come to us?"Saki treaded ahead of Arisa,knowing that Tohru needed their help more and more."Yes Arisa,but she's too shocked to come get us.I'm sure of it."A bunch of snow was blown at Saki and Arisa as an ambulance sped past them."Hey,watch-Tohru!!"Arisa cried,sprinting after the ambulance with Saki right behind her.
(B.a.c.k. T.o. T.h.e. M.a.i.n. P.e.o.p.l.e.s)
"I called an ambulance."Shigure assured them,coming up towards Kyo."Tohru!!"Yuki heard in the distance."I think someone's calling your name,Honda-san."Yuki said,looking to see the faint outline of Tohru's best friends."Uo-chan?Hana-ch-"Tohru was bombarded in a group hug by Saki and Arisa as the ambulance came up.Arisa pulled away upon seeing Kyo."Tohru...I'm sorry..."Arisa said,watching the ambulance guy put Kyo in the back."Anyone coming with in the ambulance with orangey here?"The man asked for the last time."I am!"Tohru called as the man helped her into the back as well.
The back of the ambulance closed and it sped away."I should call Kazuma-kun and Haa-san..."Shigure said and everyone looked at him."We'll go make sure Tohru's all right.If she isn't all right,I'm still thinking of the many things I'd have to do to improve your hospitality."Saki said,as the two best friends left.Shigure and Yuki walked back to the house still adjusting to how quiet it will be while Kyo is in the hospital.
(N.o.w. T.o. T.h.e. A.m.b.u.l.a.n.c.e. A.n.d. L.a.t.e.r. T.o. T.h.e. H.o.s.p.i.t.a.l)
Tohru gripped Kyo's hand tightly as the ambulance sped away."Please don't die,Kyo-kun."Tohru pleaded silently.She loved him and she couldn't stand to see him die.At least this way.Kyo was out cold but somewhere deep inside,Tohru knew that Kyo remembered her and loved her.As they came upon the hospital,Tohru walked with Kyo's stretcher all the way into his hospital room.Somehow,she couldn't get away from the fact that he looked so good in a hospital gown.She knew it wasn't right,but it was true.
He recieved a bandage for the back of his head and his right arm.The doctor told her that there is a slight chance that he'll make it and that wasn't making Tohru feel any better."Tohru?"Arisa called as she entered Kyo's hospital room.Tohru wiped some of the blood from Kyo's lower lip and turned her head towards her best friends,her face was tear-stained.Out of nowhere,Tohru started crying and was pulled into a warm embrace by Uo-chan and Hana-chan.
"He'll be fine,Tohru-chan."Saki told her,but deep inside,her waves were telling her that he probably wouldn't make it.As Arisa hugged Tohru,all she saw was Kyo in a hospital gown half-dead.It wasn't a pleasant sight.Especially for Tohru.Out of nowhere,Kazuma rushed in and sat on the other side of Kyo."Kyo..."The saddened foster-father said soflty.Upon hearing a familiar voice,Saki perked her head up and saw Kazuma.'Kazuma's having a rough time...'She thought.
'Everything should be fine as long as he doesn't show up.'Kazuma thought.All Kyo's father would do is rub it in Kyo's unconscious face and probably be happy for the rest of his life.Kazuma's brow folded together as this thought struck him.If no one calls Kyo's biological father,everyone should be fine.Everyone looked over at the door when they heard footsteps.'Hatori?But what is he be doing here if Kyo's is in a building full of surgeons and other doctors?'Tohru thought.
Hatori ignored them and walked over to the bed.Looking down at Kyo,he closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again."I don't know..."Hatori seemed to be muttering to himself.Probably if he was going to take care of Kyo as soon as he was out of the hospital.
(S.o.m.e.t.i.m.e. L.a.t.e.r)
"I'm sorry,but it's time to go."The nurse called into the room and Tohru turned her head towards her."All right."She said.The nurse was a short,plump woman with long grey hair pulled back into a low ponytail.She had a friendly smile though.Tohru looked back at Kyo only to see that he had fallen asleep.Giving him a quick hug and a small peck on the cheek,Tohru slowly left the hospital room with her friends,Kazuma,and Hatori.
"I'm sure he'll be fine Tohru."Arisa reassured her,still not letting go of her."Yes...I'm sure of that too."Saki said softly.As Tohru split up from the others and headed towards Shigure's house,she ran into Yuki."H-hi Yuki-kun..."Tohru greeted him sadly.Yuki put her coat around her shoulders.He was going to head out to find her and on the way,grabbed her coat."How's Kyo?"He asked her.Tohru held back the tears that were about to come pouring out.
"H-he's fine."Tohru sadly said,her voice breaking.Yuki sighed and looked out on the path before him.The house wasn't that far and he knew she would start crying before they got to the door."The d-doctor said th-that there's a s-slight chance that he w-won't make it..."Tohru burst out crying and Yuki wished that he could put a comforting arm around her.But he couldn't.He was still under the influence of the curse.
So he just patted her on the back and said some comforting words.As they reached the house Shigure ran out and asked how Kyo was.Then,as he asked,Tohru burst out crying and Yuki gave his death glare that he usually gave to Kyo,to Shigure.Upon going in,Shigure picked up the phone and called the take-out place."We don't want to pressure Tohru-kun to cook so we'll order out."Shigure told Yuki as Tohru went upstairs to her room.
As soon as the take-out guy got there,everyone ate in silence."So...how's the weather?"Shigure asked,knowing that subject couldn't hurt anyone.Yuki looked up and gave the death glare to Shigure,who kept quiet through the rest of dinner."Excuse me."Yuki said,standing up."I have to go visit someone."Shigure and Tohru watched Yuki leave and put his stuff on.Yuki walked all the way out to the city and ended up knocking on Kakeru's door."Hello?Oh,It's Yunyun!Come on in!"Kakeru greeted him and stepped to the side as Yuki came in."Yunyun looks depressed."Kakeru said,ushering Yuki to sit down next to him.
"Yes I am,Kyo made Tohru cry again and I don't think she's going to stop."Yuki told him,Captain Obvious."What did he do now?"Kakeru looked like he was listening but he was tired of listening to Yuki talk about Kyo.Yuki sighed."Kyo landed himself in the hospital after only a few weeks of going out with her."Yuki said,eyes closed."What!?How did he get in the hospital?"Apparently he was listening now.To him,it seemed like everyone Tohru loved,ended up in the hospital or worse,dead."He got hit by a car,the back of his head was split open,and he forgot everything."Yuki said,opening his eyes."And now,Tohru won't stop crying"
'What am I thinking?Coming here and telling Kakeru everything?'Yuki thought regretfully."Well...if Kyo gets better then Honda-san will stop crying,won't she?But if Kyo never gets better for the rest of his life,she'll be sad for the rest of her life."Kakeru explained to Yuki."So it's a 50/50 chance."At this statement,Yuki stood up and opened the front door."Despicable..."He muttered closing the door behind him."Was it something I said?"Kakeru asked himself,scratching his head.
(S.o.m.e.t.i.m.e. A.t. T.h.e. H.o.u.s.e)
Tohru removed the strawberry towel after drying herself.She put on her undergarments and slipped into her tan pajamas.Tohru felt only a little better after her shower but she couldn't get the image of Kyo out of her head.It was like his memory was haunting her.She pulled down the covers and lied down.Tohru was wide awake when she heard steps coming up the stairs and a soft knock at the door."Come in."Tohru said softly only to see Shigure come in."Hello Tohru-kun,Yuki and I made you some tea if you want it."The novelist said.He had a bit-Tohru noticed-of concern in his voice.
"Unless you don't want any...it's fine with us."Continued Shigure."Oh no,it's okay."Said Tohru with a small smile.She admired the way he felt concern for her.Most people would pay no attention to her for loving the former 'cat' of the zodiac."Call us if you need anything."Shigure instructed her with one of his usual smiles as he handed her the tea.He left the room and Tohru took a sip of the tea.
'I'm happy that Shigure-san cares for me but what if he's pretending?'Though Tohru,who set the tea on the table and laid down on the bed.'Shigure-san's too nice of a man to pretend to care.'Tohru gasped and realised she had just called him a man.She had usually called him a novelist or the dog of the zodiac.Not once had she ever uttered that Shigure was known to her as a man.Pulling up her blankets,she decided to sleep on whether Shigure was a man or not.
(M.o.r.n.i.n.g. A.l.r.e.a.d.y.)/Shigure's POV/
As I walked into the kitchen with the paper,our little flower was already at the stove and making our wonderful breakfast.It just occured to me that if Tohru was depressed,she might ruin our breakfast.But being the nice man that I am,I decided not to worry."Good morning Tohru-kun!"I said,trying to make my presence unknown.Tohru turned her head to me and said "Good morning Shigure-san!" and I saw a smile on her face.Using my instincts,I figured out that she was only smiling because she didn't want to cause depression around the house.By figuring that out,I took myself as a smart novelist.
"Where's Yuki-kun?"I asked her as she set my plate down in front of me."Oh!He left early to go visit Kyo-kun,which I think,is quite rare."Tohru told me,sitting down to eat her own food."But I think that it's nice he has so many visitors now.Even Uo-chan and Hana-chan are visiting him!"She seemed quite happy at that thought and I decided I shouldn't dampen her high spirits.Last night I went to see Kyo-kun even though visiting hours were over.The doctor had told me that Kyo-kun isn't healing as fast as he should and he probably won't make it.
/Tohru's POV/
'Mom...I know I have been talking to you less and less but Kyo-kun is in the hospital.It makes me very sad and I think it is dampening Shigure-san and Yuki-kun's spirits as well,but I must pull through and be happy that Kyo-kun has survived.'I said to my mother.'Although Shigure's face has been lowered a bit,I think he is happy that Kyo-kun was saved.
As we finished breakfast,Shigure kept glancing over at me.I kept wondering why though."Ah Tohru-kun,what do you say to a visit with Kyo-kun?"He asked me,and I already knew my answer."Yes!"I chirped up,cleaning the table off and we both went to the entrance hall.Shigure put on his indigo coat and his usual sandals.I put on my light brown coat and my dark colored boots.Then we set off for the hospital!
/Normal POV/
As Shigure and Tohru entered the hospital,they headed up to Kyo's room only to see Yuki sititng by him.Apparently Kyo was regaining his memory."Hey Tohru,Shigure."Kyo said,with a small wave from the hospital bed.'He looks as if he has gotten paler.'Shigure thought,a little worried.After seeing Kyo like this,Tohru instantly went over to Kyo,as if it was an instinct."Kyo...how are you feeling?"Tohru asked,holding his hand tightly."Hmmm..."Mumbled Kyo,as if he didn't know how he was feeling."Better,and look who came to visit me;Yuki."Said Kyo,apparently happy that even Yuki came to see him.
A shrill,thin beep came from a machine next to Kyo's bed.His heart rate went from zig-zags to a straight line."No...!"Tohru pleaded silently.As if her prayers have been answered,the line returned to its zig-zagged pattern,signaling that Kyo's life was restored.But the machine proved that Kyo's heart could fail at any minute and he would be...dead."Thank goodness..."Tohru said,gripping Kyo's hand tighter.A small cough escaped Kyo's lips as he rubbed Tohru's hand(The one that was squeezing his)."I will always love you,even if I am dead.I'm just glad that we were able to be together as long as we were."And with that,the machine did a long straight beep and Kyo's chest stopped moving up and down.
Kyo was dead.
"Kyo!"Tohru cried to him,her tears poured down her cheeks.She couldn't stand seeing him like this.Tohru looked up at Yuki and Shigure and even through the tears,she saw that Yuki had a look of sorrow as did Shigure."He was a good kid."Said Shigure,his eyes closing as if to give a moment's silence.Shigure walked over to the hospital room phone and dialed a number.
"Hello"
"It's me,Shigure.I think you'd want to come down to the hospital and see for yourself"
"Why?What happened"
"You'll soon see."Shigure hung up and turned over to Kyo's bed where the others were."Kazuma-dono's on his way."Shigure said,looking over at the door as if Kazuma was going to walk in at that exact moment.Tohru seemed to not hear him when she laid her head on Kyo's still chest.Shigure and Yuki could hear mutters of "Kyo..."s and "Please don't go..."s and even "I love you!"s.
About ten minutes later,Kazuma hurried in and stopped when he saw the machine and Kyo lying on the bed,helpless."Kyo!"Said a concerned Kazuma,as he ran over to the bed.He thought that this day would probably happen about ten,twenty years after his death.But seeing it now,was too shocking.Kyo's father would probably get a kick out of it and say "He deserves it!".
(A. F.e.w. D.a.y.s. L.a.t.e.r)
The perverted novelist,Shigure,covered Tohru with a comforting arm as the workers lowered Kyo into the ground.No matter how hard she tried,Tohru couldn't stop crying.She had already gotten the whole left shoulder of Shigure's shirt soaked and her sleeve was wet from holding it against her eyes.Shigure had a solemn,but sorrowful,look on his face.He couldn't stand to see his little flower like this,
Yuki,meanwhile,stood on the other side of the burial site and away from any women.Even though Kyo passed away,he still had the burden of the curse on him.He just hoped that Tohru would be okay after this.Looking around,Yuki spotted some familiar faces: Hatsuharu,Momiji,Ayame,Kazuma,Kagura,Hatori,Hiro,Kisa,Ritsu(Who wasn't crying out that he was sorry because this was a sad time),Tohru's Grandfather,Arisa,Saki,and even Akito was there.Apparently Kureno and Isuzu had fallen back and stayed at their homes.
