Chapter 4

"Haru? Haru? " A soft and angelic voice called to Haru.

The voice was gentle; it was warm and filled with tenderness. The voice made him feel safe and he wanted to know who the voice belonged to. His eyes opened slowly, and he looked up to find Tohru's face, "Tohru? What's going on?"

Tohru smiled and brushed away a strand of his white hair, "You silly, you fell asleep. I was just about to tell you how happy I was that you brought me here and when I looked down you were sleeping."

"Huh?" Haru sat up, and found he had been sleeping in Tohru's lap. He looked around, and found them both resting in the shade of a cherry blossom tree. The sun was out and clouds were drifting by, they were in a field of flowers, "What are we doing here?"

Tohru giggled, "Haru you brought me here. You told me this was a place just for you and me. Our special place Haru made just for us."

Haru grinned, this strange dark feeling overcoming himself, "That's right, a place for us," he cuffed her cheek in his hand, "A place where your precious Kyo cannot come and rescue you. A place where no one can find us dear Tohru, no one will hear your cries."

Tohru frowned, "What's wrong Haru-chan?" she asked nervously.

"Nothing my love, nothing is wrong at all," Haru stole her lips in a rough kiss, his weight pushing her back against the tree. The bark rubbed against Tohru's back as he pushed into her more, somehow he wasn't transforming. The buttons that concealed Tohru's ample breasts found themselves being undone without the aid of Haru's hands.

Haru pulled away from Tohru, but he could hear her gasping with aroused breaths, "Haru…"

"Mine. You are mine," he told her passionately as his lips connected with her soft skin again. He left her lips and found the arc of her neck, suckling on her lightly as she gasped in pleasure. Her white blouse and fully unbuttoned itself, leaving Tohru's small black bra open for Haru's pleasure.

Haru found his hand sweeping itself against her collarbone as he pushed against her more. She moaned at the feel of his muscles against her, specifically the touches that aroused her lower body. Her bra straps fell lame and Haru caught her in another seducing embrace, "I am going to take you precious flower. You will only be mine."

"NO!" Haru shot up from his bed, panting as sweat dripped down his face. It was a dream. It was just a dream Haru. Haru ran his hand through his hair as he eyed the clock that read 2:03. "What the hell is wrong with me? Why does this keep happening?" Haru heard a knock at his door, which caused him to turn his head.

"Haru, are you alright?" Her soft voice called to him.

Haru hid his face in his knees, "Tohru…." He wanted to tell her to leave him alone, to go away and run away from him. But he couldn't as he heard his door slide open.

"Haru, are you having your strange dreams again?" Tohru asked softly as she sat down on his bed. Haru simply sniffled and shivered and Tohru frowned, "I'm sure these dreams will stop Haru," She tried to relax him by rubbing his back.

"I'm worried Tohru, I'm really worried," he told her between gasps of teary breath.

Tohru tried to smile as her long strands of brown hair covered her eyes as she looked down at him, "Its okay to be afraid, Haru."

Haru let go of his knees and threw himself into Tohru's lap, "Tohru….I don't want to hurt you," he told her in a whisper. He shivered at the feel of Tohru's soft hand against his bare back, but relaxed as she whispered soothing words to him.

"Haru I have faith in you. We are far too close for you ever to hurt me, don't worry. It's okay to be afraid of things, but don't let those fears push you away from others. I'm afraid, but I won't allow it to drive away the ones I love."

"What are you…afraid of Tohru?" He asked her weakly as he stared at his dark bedroom floor.

"….Being alone. I understand that people come and go and even that people have to die. Still I fear the idea of losing the Sohmas, or losing Uo and Hana-chan. All the things that keep me strong, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if you disappeared," Tohru brushed her hand against his back, "But if I kept being afraid everyone would be kept at arms length, and living like strangers is no way to live at all," Tohru smiled as she looked out the window. She was expecting a remark, and instead heard the sound of soft snoring, "Haru? Haru?" Tohru looked down at found Haru had fallen back asleep on her lap. Oh well. I'll stay here for you Haru, maybe then your dreams will be more peaceful.

Kyo had heard Haru scream as well. It had startled him so much that he shot up from his pillow only to hit the bottom of Momiji's bunk bed. He fell back onto his pillow, cursing for the pain in his head, but stopped when he listened to Tohru's footsteps. Of course saint Tohru would go to Haru's aid. Kyo simply worried about what Haru had told him on the roof last night. At the same time, he knew he'd be spending the day with Tohru, "Don't worry Haru, I'll protect her."

Tohru stayed with Haru until his clock read five fifteen. She managed to squirm out from beneath Haru and drape his blanket over him. She ran to her room and grabbed her clothes before she showered and prepared. She began breakfast at six just in time for Shigure to come walking in, nearly dragging his feet, just on time.

"Good morning Shigure!" Tohru smiled from her spot at the stove, "Today is fried rice and pork chunks for breakfast!"

"Delicious as always I presume my dear Tohru," Shigure yawned as he pulled up his seat at the head of the table. In all reality mornings were always pleasant for himself and Tohru. The morning light always managed to pour through the windows and the warmth of the oven and stoves filled the room along with their delicious aromas.

"Shigure? Did you sleep alright?" Tohru voiced with concern as she walked over with his meal.

"Yes I did dear Tohru. But I must tell you, in the middle of the night I was struck with a fabulous idea for my novel. So I raced to the computer and started writing, I'm afraid it took most of the evening to get all my thoughts out," Shigure managed to get out with another yawn.

Tohru smiled, "I guess that's just part of being an artist right? Those crazy hours Kyo and Yuki keep telling me about."

"Did I hear my name?" Yuki asked as he entered the kitchen, already prepared in his school uniform.

"Oh good morning Yuki!" Tohru waved with her usual perkiness in check, "I was talking about the stuff you told me about novelists; that they have strange sleep hours and get cravings for the weirdest foods."

"Well, I think maybe that only pertains to Shigure," Yuki smiled.

"Oh Yuki, your brother wanted me to tell you something," Shigure began as he sipped at his coffee.

"What does that stupid snake want to tell me?" Yuki asked roughly as he sat down.

"He wants to let you know he'll be stealing Tohru for the rest of the week after school starting tomorrow. He wants her to model one of the new inspirations he's had and of course I agreed," Shigure grinned.

"You what?" Yuki asked, fire blaring all around him.

Tohru of course was blushing wildly, "Oh, I don't want to disappoint Ayame but I'm afraid I'm not pretty enough to model his amazing clothes. You've told me so much about them Shigure, why would he ever want me when he could get a much prettier model?"

Yuki stopped his rage to look at Tohru, "Tohru that's not true," Yuki protested, turning red as he tried to explain what he had meant by his outburst, "You are far more beautiful than you realize! Don't be so self-conscious, you're lovely."

Tohru blushed and Shigure grinned, "I guess that means you'll let her go?" Yuki shot a glare to Shigure but Shigure just waved a finger, "You know your brother invited you as well. He wanted to spend some time bonding with you and meeting Tohru. Tohru doesn't have work at the ice cream parlor this week because they are renovating, she only as work at Momiji's father's office and those are the late shifts. So what do you say lad? Think you'll let our precious flower model?"

Yuki looked to Tohru uncertainly, "Well, only if you want to Tohru."

Tohru nodded, "I think it will be nice to meet another zodiac member, especially Yuki's brother! So we're going tomorrow then?" Tohru asked Shigure.

Shigure nodded, "Ayame will pick you both up after school." Both nodded as Kyo walked into the room. Shigure pulled Yuki closer to him, "Don't be surprised if Hatori shows up at the store, I think he has the 'hots' for our little flower hehehe." Shigure grinned and then was hit in the head by Yuki. "Oww! That is no way to treat your elders."

"Shut up," Yuki grumbled as he started on his breakfast.

"Good morning Kyo!" Tohru smiled as she served him his breakfast.

Kyo was usually half asleep in the morning, but he turned to her and smiled gently, "Hey."

Both Yuki and Shigure had noticed the slight change in Kyo's personality. He almost never lost his temper now, only on special occasions. He was much gentler and almost turned to jelly every time Tohru looked his way. They had also noticed a change in Tohru as well. Tohru still did her daily chores, but she didn't apologize as frequently for her mistakes. She also had more of an opinion now, even though it was still small, it was an opinion. She didn't fully act like a slave, she was slowly coming out of her shell and feeling more and more like a part of the family.

Tohru was talking to Kyo about their Operation with Hiro, Tohru being so excited. Kyo laughed, "I'll walk with you to Sohma Home after school and we'll pick up the runt."

"And where are you two off to after school?" Shigure asked raising an eyebrow in interest.

"We're helping Hiro pick out a birthday gift for Kisa!" Tohru exclaimed, "I think it's the cutest thing in the whole world!"

Momiji came bounding into the kitchen jumping into Kyo's lap, "Can you pick me up some candy Kyo, pretty please? I promise I'll share with you and Tohru!"

Kyo sighed, "Ahh runt, I know if I don't Tohru will just guilt me into it anyway." Tohru giggled in the background.

Haru had managed to sneak in quietly, staring at Tohru for the longest time until he finally sat down. He tried to eat, but only ended up picking at his food. Tohru frowned with worry until she felt Kyo grab her hand from under the table. With his thumb he rubbed her finger and gave her a gentle smile. Tohru managed to smile as the family forced through the rest of the silent breakfast.

The walk to school wasn't that much better either. Haru was too quiet and Momiji tried desperately to cheer him up. Tohru walked with Kyo; hand in hand, and Yuki by there side. Even after the small changes between Tohru and Kyo during the past week or so Yuki still remained his normal and cool poise.

"Kyo, I'm worried about Haru," Tohru whispered as she squeezed his hand.

Kyo nodded, "I know Tohru. The guy already told me about his dreams. But the dude cares about you, he doesn't want to do anything to hurt the relationship the two of you have."

Tohru smiled a little, "He's like my big brother, always watching over me."

Kyo smiled, 'Exactly. Don't worry about him Tohru, I know Haru's dreams suck, but he'll handle it. Don't be upset if he distances himself from you, it's his way of protecting you."

Tohru smiled as her free hand wrapped around her golden locket, "You'll protect me too, won't you Kyo?"

Kyo blushed, a sweat drop falling down the side of his face, "Yeah, of course I will. I made a promise, duh."

Tohru leaned into Kyo's shoulder and giggled, "Thank you Kyo."

Class was another day of stressful review. The days before her exams were narrowing to only two weeks. The worry for Haru was a weight on her chest, and Tohru found it hard to focus to her fullest potential. There was also the preparation for the end of the year dance that was coming. Momiji reminded Tohru about the lunar eclipse, (I'm talking about when the sun casts its shadow on the moon, not the moon's rotation like a new moon) Overall, Tohru felt like a wreck.

Yuki stayed after school today to work on a student council meeting while Momiji and Haru walked home together. Tohru and Kyo ran to Sohma Home and Tohru knocked on the door. Hatori opened up the door and looked down at the two of them with his normal stolid disposition, "Hello Tohru, hello Kyo."

Tohru smiled, "Hello Hatori! How are you today?"

Hatori ran a hand over his hair and yawned, "I'm doing quiet well Tohru," feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Tohru smiled, "You want to call me Miss Honda out of habit don't you?"

Hatori brushed the back of his head, feeling somewhat bashful, "Well I can't anymore can I, you're a Sohma now Tohru."

Tohru rubbed the back of her head and giggled, "That's right! So Hatori, is Hiro back from school yet?"

Hiro popped up behind Hatori, "It's about time," Hiro grinned, "I should've known that the Air Head would have been late."

Hiro was hit atop the head and held it in pain as Kyo fumed above him, "Watch it you little brat."

Hatori allowed himself to grin, "You know this is just how young Hiro shows his affection for Tohru."

Tohru grabbed onto Hiro's hand and grinned, "Let's go!" Hiro rolled his eyes, "Oh boy." Tohru waved behind her as she dragged Hiro along, "Come on Kyo! We've got a lot of ground to cover! Bye Hatori, I'll drop off some chocolates on my way home!"

Hatori leaned against the doorway and smiled, waving lightly as the trio disappeared. You've done so much to help us Tohru, but I wonder how much longer this joy can last before Akito becomes aware of what's going on.

"So Hiro, where would you like to go first," Tohru asked as they walked down the street, looking in at all the display windows.

Hiro rolled his eyes and shrugged, "I don't know Tohru, that's why I asked you to come!" Tohru seemed hurt by Hiro's statement, he shoved his hands into his pockets, "Look, I'm sorry…you're a girl, so I figured you could help me with…. girl stuff."

Tohru smiled, "It's okay Hiro! Oh lets go in here, a toy store is a great place to start."

Hiro nodded and ran inside, darting down a stuffed animal isle. Tohru crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled, watching him run off with determination on his face. Kyo walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"You're making his day you know," He told her lightly, "He really wants to do something special for her, and you're helping," Kyo grinned.

Tohru looked up at Kyo behind her shoulder and smiled, "As long as I can help, I think it's so cute really."

Kyo sighed, "I wish I had someone to help me when I wanted to pick out your gift. I couldn't ask the Yankee or the Psychic and there was no way in hell I was gonna ask that Rat."

Tohru giggled, "I'm sure Uo and Hana would have helped you if you had ask them! They love buying stuff for me."

"TOHRU! I found something!" Hiro called from the end of the isle. He was waving his hands and there was a grin on his face.

Tohru and Kyo ran up to him. Hiro had a stuffed lamb in his arms, along with a stuff cat, and a stuffed bird. Tohru and Kyo grinned, rubbing the top of his head as they recognized the first two animals. "Hey Hiro, who's the bird supposed to be?" Tohru asked as she looked at the whit dove.

Hiro rolled his eyes as blush clung to his cheeks, "It's supposed to be you air head."

"Eh? Me?" Tohru blushed, "A dove?"

Hiro nodded his head, "Everyone talks about how much they adore you, especially Kisa. You helped her a lot with her speaking issue and well, I remember my mom talking to me about angels. Guardian angels help people when they need it, I figured a dove was close enough," Hiro's cheeks were burning with red.

There were tears of joy brimming Tohru's eyes as she got down on her knees. She took Hiro's hands and smiled, "Hiro…. that's so sweet, thank you," she leaned over and kissed his cheek.

Hiro blushed immensely, "You stupid air head," he looked away up at Kyo.

Kyo grinned and pulled Hiro by the ear, "Let's go Runt. Tohru's got work soon, we'll buy your stuff and wrap them back at the Home."

"Don't forget the candies for Momiji! We promised to pick up some candies for Momiji, oh and Hatori too! I'm sure Yuki would like a few too, and I bet the candy would cheer Haru up too!" Tohru chimed as they walked up to the register.

So together Hiro, Kyo, and Tohru bought the three stuffed animals for Kisa. Hiro walked beside Tohru as she trotted along holding the bags. Kyo complained about how she shouldn't hold the bags but she insisted on it with her usual perkiness.

As they walked down the street Tohru found the same chocolate shop she had gone into with Shigure for Valentine's Day, "Look! Oh lets go in here okay Hiro?"

Hiro nodded, "What's got you so extra hyper?" He asked her in his usual sarcastic voice.

"Do you remember the Valentine's Day candies I sent?" Tohru asked anxiously as she pulled the two boys inside.

"Yeah…." Hiro answered.

"Well I got them here! This place has great discounts for good chocolates, it helps me with my budget," Tohru smiled, "Valentine's day was nice. There were some very interesting gifts."

Tohru felt Kyo squeeze her shoulder. The gift Kyo had received was the mirror that had started their whole amazing ordeal. His hand slid from her shoulder to her hand and together they walked down the isle together behind Hiro.

"So Hiro, I know Momiji didn't live with Shigure all the time, you two grew up and stuff for the most part right?" Tohru asked him as they skimmed the isle for candy.

"What about it?" Hiro asked, as he tasted a free candy.

"Well then you'd know his favorite wouldn't you?" Tohru asked eagerly, "I wanna make sure I get him the right one. I've been busy with my two jobs and school that I haven't been able to be there for him as much as I want."

Hiro shrugged, "Sour patch kids. They've got sugar and sour, his favorite combo. Be careful, he'll be bouncing off the walls if he has a whole bag."

"That's just what we need, a super duper hyper active Momiji," Kyo sighed just imagining the chaos Momiji could cause.

"Don't worry Kyo, I'm sure Momiji won't mind sharing with the rest of us," Tohru giggled as she pulled off a bag of sour patch kids and a bag of assorted fun sized candy bars, "I think Haru and Yuki would enjoy the combo."

"Stupid Rat…" Kyo grumbled under his breath.

Tohru and Kyo dropped Hiro off at Sohma Home at five forty-five. Hiro stood in the doorway with Hatori and smiled at Tohru, "Thanks Tohru, you really helped me out today. I'm sure Kisa is going to love them," Hiro bowed in respect to Tohru, "Thanks again."

Tohru grinned, "No problem Hiro! Anytime you need me." Tohru looked down at her watch and gasped, "Oh dear I only have an hour and a few minutes before work! I'm sorry Hiro, Hatori, forgive my haste but I gotta go!"

Hiro rolled his eyes, "Go on Air Head. See ya Cat."

Kyo grabbed Tohru's hand and ran her all the way home. When they got to the front porch, Tohru stopped, upset. The front porch swing hadn't been touched the entire day, and Tohru knew that Haru at least made an attempt to sit there everyday. When he was out of school or not doing homework, he was on this swing. She opened up the front door, tucking her chocolate hair behind her shoulders calling around the house, "Haru? Haru are you here?"

Momiji came out of the kitchen with a drink in his hand, "Haru hasn't been home all day Tohru. He told me to tell you he was spending the night with Kei. Oh and he said 'Sorry for not telling you because you're probably panicking like your usual self. I'll meet you at school'," Momiji mimicked Haru's usual cool voice for the last part.

Tohru drooped her head and sighed, "Poor Haru…." When Tohru lifted her head back up she saw Momiji staring at her, concern on his face. Tohru's spirit lifted, "Oh that's right, Momiji I have a gift for you. Is Yuki here, I have one for him too!"

Momiji began jumping up and down, "Yuki's still at his meeting, its for the dance so he said he's really busy. But a gift for me, Tohru got me a gift? Oh what is it what is it?"

Tohru laughed and dug through her bag, pulling out the two bags of chocolate, "Now the candy bars are for Yuki and Haru. Hiro told me your favorites were the Sour Patch Kids so those are all for you. Look I've got to get to work Momiji, I'll tell your mom and sister hello alright," she rubbed the side of his face. Momiji's mother and little sister didn't know about him, Hatori had her memories erased, "And I'll say hi to your dad too."

Momiji smiled, a sadder look in his eyes, "Thank you Tohru, and say hi to my first family."

Tohru titled her head to a side and smiled, "First family?"

Momiji nodded, "That's right, because this is my second family. And I love this family very much."

Tohru nodded, "And I love this family a whole lot too."

Tohru turned and walked out the door, and Momiji beamed as he watched Kyo take Tohru's hand. It was getting dark outside, and the streetlights began to flicker on almost simultaneously as Tohru and Kyo walked beneath each of them. Kyo took a moment to stare at her as they walked together down the street. The feel of her hand in his was warming, for once, welcoming. He was welcomed in her world, welcomed in her heart. She turned and looked up at him, her chocolate eyes shining with radiant joy and her sweet innocent smile on her face. She was so beautiful; her hair had gotten longer and now easily passed her shoulder blades. The wounds from this year that was rapidly drawing to a close had healed over, and not even the scars could easily be found on her.

"Is something the matter Kyo?" Tohru gasped, "Oh Kyo I didn't make dinner for you! I know I left some leftovers at home for the others but you haven't eaten at all have you? Oh I'm so sorry Kyo!"

Kyo smiled and chuckled lightly, "Tohru I'm fine. I can have some leftovers when I get back. Don't worry so much." He squeezed her hand for reassurance.

Tohru smiled as she looked up at the business building, "I guess this is my stop. Thanks for hanging out with Hiro and me today. It meant a lot to him, I can tell. It meant a lot to me too."

Kyo smiled again and cuffed the side of her face in his hand, "I enjoyed it. For once I didn't have a bouncy Momiji snatching you away from me, or a stupid Rat pissing me off."

Tohru frowned lightly, "I wish you had something to say about Haru, but I have a feeling he'll be avoiding me more and more now. I just feel so useless, I want to help him, but dreams aren't anything people can control."

Kyo rubbed the side of her face, "Hey you listen here, don't say you're useless or any of that. Dreams are out of anyone's control, just like you said. You support him even more than you normally do because you know he needs it. You're the best thing for him right now."

Tohru smiled, "Thanks Kyo…."

Kyo blushed, as her stare grew tender. The smile she only gave him was back on her face and her eyes had regained their warmth. He listened to the sound of her fifteen minute alarm on her watch go off and he smiled, "You're running late for your standards."

Tohru buried her face in his chest, the closest thing to an embrace the two of them could share, "I'm getting out really late tonight, so don't come here to get me. I want you to get some sleep."

Kyo smiled and kissed the top of her hair lightly, "Hey, there's no way I'm going to let you walk home. I don't know what I'd do if the girl I loved was snatched away."

Tohru blushed against his chest, "Then I guess I'll see you at eleven."

When Tohru got inside she was instantly ambushed with her cleaning lady friends, "Who is that handsome boy you were with? Is he your brother or something?" one of the ladies chirped.

Tohru blushed, "Umm technically by law he's my cousin. Shigure, you know my new dad, he's cousins with that guy," Tohru pointed to the door.

"Your cousin?" The ladies gasped, "He treats you like a little sister!" the ladies looked at each other, "Did you see how he kissed the top of her head. He was so gentle with her."

Tohru blushed madly as she threw on her janitor outfit, "He's a best friend above anything else."

The women in chorus sighed with the adorable nature Tohru had, "Whoever is lucky to have Tohru for his lady must be the happiest man in the world."

Tohru laughed out loud, I wonder if Kyo would be considered that lucky guy. I mean…I know he loves me…and I love him, but does that automatically make us boyfriend and girlfriend?

Meanwhile, across town with Kei, Haru was lying on the floor staring at the ceiling as Kei listened about the dreams. Kei laughed at first, but seeing the deplorable mood Haru was in he decided it was time to be the serious best friend he was supposed to be.

Kei was on his bed sitting Indian style, "Haru, this could mean trouble for Tohru and you."

Haru sighed and closed his eyes, "As long as I avoid her nothing bad can really happen. I've already told her all about these dreams. All she could say was they were just dreams and nothing else and I'd be okay. She said that she trusted me."

"Then what's the problem?" Kei asked, "So you have a few crappy nights with no sleep."

Haru sighed with irritation, "She trusts me Kei I know that, but…. I don't trust myself. It's like there's a part of me, a dark part of me deep inside, that might still have feelings for Tohru."

Kei listened calmly, "But that was so long ago Haru. That was at the beginning of this year, both you and Tohru have changed so much since then."

Haru opened up his eyes again, "I know that. Tohru is like my sister, hell I don't think of her as anything other than a sister, and a great friend but that's it. I know I don't have these feelings but…."

"But you're worried these dreams might be telling you something otherwise. Another issue that you've locked away inside of yourself like you always did," Kei finished for Haru.

Haru sat up and grinned, "Dude, why can't it just be like the old days. The old days treating each other like crap and getting into street fights. We lived the wild lives, never bored."

Kei laughed and nodded, "Those were great days. Sometimes I wonder why we ever changed," Haru nodded, he wondered too, "But you know, its because we met Tohru. She changed us, somehow. I swear, I think she's an angel."

Haru nodded, "Maybe she's my guardian angel."

"Dude, I think she's a guardian angel to every person she's ever met. It's like she's Wendy from Peter Pan."

"Peter Pan?" Haru repeated totally clueless.

"Yeah man! When Wendy came to Never Never Land she showed those boys how she lived, and even though they didn't have manners, she treated them with unconditional love. That love changed those boys, taught them to be kind and love too."

"So she's our very own Wendy," Haru laid back down on the ground and grinned.

A bunch of lost boys on an island all by themselves, without the girls, then Wendy from the sky came and saved them all. They defeated the evil Captain Hook, and even made that little henchmen realize he wasn't a bad guy. Maybe that means Akito is defeated, and Smee is Hatori, Hatori realized he wasn't a bad man. Hatori does what he feels is right now. And all the lost boys, maybe that's the rest of us Sohmas. "But Kei, in the end, didn't Wendy go back to England."

"I think she did, she went back to her family and taught them how to believe again as well," Kei answered scratching his head, "I think she ends up getting married and having kids of her own who all believe in Peter."

Haru rubbed his chin, "Aren't there some versions where Peter leaves Never Never Land and grows up to marry Wendy?"

Kei shrugged, "This conversation is getting way too involved for Peter Pan. I'm going to bed," Kei turned off his light and rolled over in his bed.

Haru stared into the darkness at the dark ceiling thinking quietly. If Kyo is Peter, then maybe Kyo will be able to leave the Sohmas. Since he isn't part of the Zodiac, he might be able to escape the wrath that Akito burdens us all with. Instead of being accepted, maybe he'll realize that he's better off without the zodiac.

Haru looked up at the ceiling, watching the lights from cars passing by outside flickered on the ceiling like stars, "Second star to the right and straight on till morning." Please no bad dreams.
