SHOUT OUT TO APRIL you should try to write me more, missy!!
THe sun shined brightly for Yuki and kyou as they walked home from school.
"I sure can't wait 'til Tohru comes back to school tomarrow." Kyou announced as he grinned like a cheshire cat. "It's a bit lonely without her being so
cheerful all the time."
"I agree." said Yuki, smiling. "Do you suppose Tohru has rested enough?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Kyou snapped, annoyed with Yuki's 'dumb' question. "We'll just have to find out when we get there, now won't we?"
The boys walked the rest of the way home in bitter silence. As they approached the house, they caught a glimpse of Hatori leaving, and he was carrying his
doctor bag.
"Hatori wasn't supposed to come for Tohru's next checkup for another week..." said Yuki as the thought of Tohru getting hurt again hit the both of them.
They rushed the last few yards to the house and was in Tohru's room in seconds. They were releived to find Tohru sleeping peacefully.
They came back downstairs with the weight of their worry lifted from thier shoulders. They found Shigure seated in the dining room enjoying a cup of tea,
reading a book.
"Oh," he said as he saw Yuki and Kyou walk in. "How was your day?"
"Boring," answered Kyou in his tough way. "as usual."
"I see," Shigure replied with a chuckle. He then turned to YUki as he sat down opposite himself. "And how was your day, Yuki?"
"It was okay. Student Counsel is taking all of my energy, and I'm tired."
"I see."
There was a moment of silence before Kyou said, "Why was Hatori here?"
"Well," Shigure was hesitant to answer because he knew that both Yuki and Kyou would flip. Yuki already had problems with Akito as it was. Shigure cleared
his throat and took another drink of tea to stall.
"If this has anything to do with that damn Akito, then tell us!" Kyou said, getting angry.
"Did Akito come today?" asked Yuki as he narrowed his eyes.
Shigure looked up and tried his best to act as if he hadn't heard the question, but it was obvious that something was going on.
"Well?" said Kyou impatiently "Are you gonna tell us or n-" he was cut off because the door opened behind him and Tohru entered the room on her crutches. The
color was back in her cheeks and she was back to her healthy self. And in two weeks, she would be able to walk on it without crutches.
"Hi everyone!" she greeted, causing the very distraction Shigure needed.
"How was your day?" Yuki asked brightly as if nothing had happened before she came in.
"It was great!" she bluffed. "I got all the rest i needed, and now i'm ready to go back to school."
"That's good, Miss Honda." replied Yuki with a sweet smile. "I'm glad."
Kyou looked away for fear of upsetting Tohru. The fact that Hatori had been here ment that something had happened. Something was going on behind the scenes
that Tohru was fighting, and she seemed as if she were loosing. Why couldn't she just let them help her? The anger began to bubble inside Kyou until he
couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Damn it Tohru!" He screamed. "Why do you always have to go around and help everyone else but yourself? Why can't you just let us help you for this once,
huh? It's really starting to piss me off." His anger slowly subsided as he continued. "we all know that something has been bothering you, that something has
happened that you don't want us to know. You want to fight this on your own, but we want to help you. Damn it, Tohru, we care about you too, ya know, so why
won't you tell us already?"
Tohru stood there, wide-eyed. For once, she didn't know what to say.
The tension in the room was great as Yuki glared at Kyou. Shigure shrank back into the background and stayed quiet.
I've got to get out of here, thought Tohru. I can▓t let them see me cry┘
She gazed down at the floor and bit her lip to keep in the tears. Nobody stopped her as she slowly backed out of the room and went outside. Nobody followed her as she slowly made her way up into the surrounding forest. When she felt like she was far enough away from the house, she collapsed next to a tree and began to sob.
Why was Kyou so angry? Did he really feel betrayed because she wanted to fight Akito on her own? Does he really care about her that much?
Tohru continued to let the tears come. She cried because Kyou had scared her. She cried because she was afraid of what would come when she met Akito next. Would he defile her, as he promised? Would he kill her because she didn▓t know how to break the curse? Tohru was so caught up in her thought, she didn▓t hear them approach.
⌠Tohru?■ Kyou said softly, startling the crying girl.
Her face was blotchy and her eyes were red and swollen. The sight of their Tohru in this state nearly made them cry as well.
⌠I-■ began Kyou ⌠I▓m sorry. I didn▓t mean to, you know, go off on you like that.■ the words came out rougher than he would▓ve liked.
Yuki couldn▓t break his gaze from Tohru▓s broken form.
⌠No,■ she began softly. ⌠I-I should be the one to apologize.■ she looked down as she continued. ⌠I should have told you, instead of lying about the whole thing. You have the right to be angry with me. It was just,■ she sniffled, ⌠I didn▓t want to upset you.■
She broke into a fresh set of tears and Kyou ran back to the house before Yuki could see him cry.
Yuki crouched down and wrapped an arm around Tohru▓s shoulders; carefully, so as to avoid transforming.
⌠Miss Honda, you know we will help you with whatever you need help with.■ Yuki▓s voice began to crack as he continued, ⌠We▓ll fight your battles with you, as well as cry with you┘■ Yuki▓s voice became hushed and Tohru felt a tear fall on her hand.
When she looked up, she was shocked to find Yuki crying. She couldn▓t see Kyou, and she guessed he went back to the house. Is Kyou crying too? thought Tohru.
There was a few moments of silence before Tohru reached the amount of courage needed to tell Yuki what had happened.
⌠Yuki?■
⌠Yes, Miss Honda?■ Yuki wiped his tears away and sat back facing Tohru.
⌠It was Akito.■
Yuki was shocked, but not appalled. It always seemed as if Akito didn▓t like Tohru, but why would he want to hurt her?
Tohru sighed and looked away before continuing.
⌠At first, he said he was going to defile me, and then he came back today and said that I had the power to break the Sohma curse. He begged me to free him, but I didn▓t know what to do. He was choking me, and I thought I wasn▓t going to make it when Shigure came in and told Akito to leave.■
Fury burned in Yuki▓s heart, but he refused to let Tohru see it. Akito had gone too far this time, and now he is going to pay, one way or another.
Yuki helped Tohru up into her crutches and then back to the house. Tohru went back up to bed while Yuki went in search of Kyou.
Kyou wasn▓t hard to find since his favorite place to hide was on the roof. Yuki climbed silently and swiftly.
⌠What do you want, rat?■ Kyou didn▓t put as much energy into the insult, as he usually did.
⌠she told me.■
⌠┘■
⌠Akito threatened her, and that▓s why she was having those nightmares. He also came here professing that Tohru could break the curse.■ Yuki cut off and sat next to Kyou with his arms folded over his legs.
⌠Why did Hatori come then?■ Kyou asked, obviously interested in what Yuki had to say.
⌠When Tohru said she didn▓t know what Akito was talking about, Akito went nuts and tried to strangle her.■
Yuki and Kyou both clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
⌠Tohru seems okay now, so I▓m not worried about her, but the fact that Akito came here when she was most defenseless without us, means that Akito doesn▓t want to fight us.■ Said Yuki, sighing.
⌠You like her, don▓t you?■ Asked Kyou softly.
⌠Well, of course I do, she▓s my friend.■ Yuki could see where this was going and he gulped.
⌠you know what I mean, Yuki.■
Yuki▓s eyes widened at the gentleness of Kyou▓s voice.
⌠Yes.■ said Yuki quietly as he looked up into the sky. ⌠I do like her. Everything about her is so sweet and kind. Her eyes especially. They seem as if they light up whenever she▓s happy.■
⌠ I can see the way you look at her.■ replied Kyou ⌠It▓s obvious. But,■ Kyou looked into Yuki▓s surprised eyes. ⌠Why don▓t you tell her?■
⌠I-■ Yuki didn▓t know what to say. He wanted to tell her, but, what if she didn▓t feel the same way? ⌠I don▓t think she needs to know.■
With that, Yuki left a surprised Kyou speechless on the roof.
Kyou sat there for the rest of the afternoon and watched the sunset. The stars were twinkling brightly when he finally came down. He walked up the stairs quietly and was not surprised to find Yuki standing at Tohru▓s door, watching her sleep.
Before Yuki could see Kyou, Kyou dodged into his own room and went to bed.
The next morning, Shigure awoke to the sweet aroma of Tohru▓s cooking.
⌠No,■ Shigure thought aloud. ⌠ She couldn▓t be┘■ he got up and put on his kimono in mere second s and was in to kitchen in a flash.
There she was, with her crutches, making breakfast. Usually, Shigure would get up an hour early to enjoy the morning paper in silence, but it seemed as if Tohru even beat his early record. Tohru shouldn▓t have gone through the trouble of making breakfast because she was on crutches. She should be resting.
⌠Good morning, Shigure!■ greeted Tohru. ⌠Did you get a good night▓s rest?■
⌠Yes, I did,■ he replied. ⌠ Thank you for going through the trouble of making breakfast.■
⌠I made lunch too!■ She said with a giggle, and sure enough, there were four boxed lunches on the counter.
⌠Hey, Shigure?■ asked Tohru
⌠Yes?■
⌠would you mind waking up Yuki and Kyou for me? You guys really slept in this morning and I was beginning to think that I was going to have to go up and wake you up myself.■
⌠Okay.■ agreed Shigure as he walked out.
Few! thought Shigure I thought she had gotten up just to make breakfast for everyone.
After breakfast, the three had to hurry to get to school on time.
⌠Tohru-■ began Yuki as he watched Tohru struggle to keep up. ⌠ would you mind if I carried you?■
Kyou stopped and turned with a smirk. ⌠I▓ll carry your crutches,■ Kyou piped in.
⌠Uh-■ Tohru didn▓t want to be a burden on anyone, but she did realize that she was slowing everyone down. ⌠I guess it will be okay.■ she answered. ⌠ As long as I▓m not a burden, of course.■ she added
⌠Your not a burden.■ replied Yuki as he picked her up bridal style so as to not transform.
The Yuki fan club girls went nuts when they saw Tohru return to school in Yuki▓s arms. As soon as Yuki was no longer with Tohru, the girls attacked.
⌠What were you doing, being carried by Yuki?■
⌠You had better not do that again!■
⌠Stay away from Prince Yuki!■
⌠Yeah!■
They were surrounding Tohru as she tried not to look afraid.
⌠Eh-■ she gulped. ⌠I-I, we were going to be late for school-my broken ankle. I-I didn▓t mean to offend you.■
⌠That had better be true Miss Honda!■ they spat at her before turning white.
Tohru turned to find Kyou standing over her, glaring at the girls.
⌠You had better leave her alone. What she▓s told you is true, now scat!■ Kyou turned to face Tohru and said, ⌠Yuki is going to see Akito after school, so it▓s gonna be just you and me, okay?■
⌠Okay.■ agreed Tohru with a sweet smile before the two had to go to class.

Okay, so it took me much longer to type this out than I thought. I had the entire chapter written out, and where I am staying at right now, there▓s no chairs for the table, so it was difficult to find a place suitable enough for me to type out me story. I think this took me about three hours to type, which is pretty sad┘
Yeah, so I don▓t think I will be able to upload my sakura/sasuke for a while, although, it is a good story. I▓m already working on chapter five for this story and chapter two for my ss.
So this is where I say GOOD NITE! It is really late┘ yeah. So bye.
