Moshi moshi, everybody! I hope you liked last chapter! I have pretty much nothing to say, for it is 2:15 AM right now when I'm typing this, and I'm very tired. Go on, read.

"Tohru…" I muttered, tossing in attempt to sleep, after all, it was night. It has been years since I last saw her, but I don't know how many. I've lost count. But that doesn't matter, it won't ever matter again. I'm stuck in this cage forever, and I was never to see the love of my life ever again. All I can do now is wonder if she's alright and hope for the best for her. May kami favor her more than I.
There was a rapping at my door, and I looked to the window. It was usual routine. Momiji would bring me news of the Sohmas personal life every once in a while, like the one time he told me Rin and Haru were marrying, and then again when they had a child. How I wish I got get out of this rat hole and marry and have a child with Tohru. Or at least see her beautiful face again.
"Hi, Kyo." Momiji said quietly through the barred window. I stared back at him, which was my normal hello. "You'll never believe what happened today. Rin and Haru took Nyoko to her preschool to check out the teacher and all."
I nodded, not interested. All parents had to do it sometime, right? Momiji continued, however.
"And, well, first, she actually hugged the teacher. You know how distant she is, right?" I nodded, and the bunny bounced up. "The teacher is Tohru." This got my attention.
"What!?! How is she!?! Do you know how well she's living!?! Is she married!?! Is she happy?" I asked, grabbing the bars with such ferocity that they bent a bit. Momiji was surprised by Kyo's reaction, especially my question on Tohru's romantic relationship status. I knew that I could never be hers, but I needed to know if she moved on. I really hope she did, even if it's painful for me, because she needs to move on.
"I don't know, Kyo. I'll ask Haru to tell you later. But I do know that she doesn't remember any of us. I might have forgotten to tell you, she fell off one of the small bridges in the park the day you left her and bumped her head. She forgot all of us, even her girlfriends." Momiji said, looking away from my eyes, which I'm sure widened substantially. How could he have possibly forgotten to tell me that!?!
"Thank you, Momiji. But I need to think…" I said, and the blonde boy nodded, leaving. I turned away from the window of sorts and sighed. I loved Tohru so much. I only regret not telling her.
I love everything about her. Her silky brown hair, her wide brown eyes, her melodious laugh, her brainless personality, her beautiful smiles, everything. I don't think I could dislike something about her if I wanted to. But I don't want to, anyway. It's the memory of her that makes me go on in this stupid cage, instead of trying to kill myself. Her memory gives me hope that one day I can be with her again. All true lovers are meant to be together, right? I can't imagine not loving her, not anymore. So why, if not in this life, than in another, would I not end up with her? She's worth it all, this cage, this suffering, this pain, this loneliness, everything.
She's the best thing that happened to me, and I plan to have her happen to me again. I know I don't deserve her, but doesn't love just erase that all? Love is something magical, that I have learned from her. Before I used to scowl at it and say it was for the weak. But my love for her has made me strong enough to survive this.
"Tohru…" I said, turning to the window. I looked up above to the stars. "Please, know I think about you every second. Please, remember me and let me be with you. I love you." I said, a tear running down my face. A shooting star flew across the sky, and I wished upon it.

I sat in my flat, looking out at the night sky. After my little trip to work, the sky had cleared up. So now the stars were visible. Suddenly, a shooting star shot across the sky, and I closed my eyes, wishing on it.
Suddenly, words filled my head, but they were not my own. They were spoken by a deeper, manlier voice that made my stomach erupt in butterflies. 'Tohru… Please, know I think about you every second. Please, remember me and let me be with you. I love you.' I gasped, everything was going black. I immediately sensed that this was the beginning of my revelation. The weight had freed itself, and was now plunging down towards me, ready to crush me with the truth in a second's time. As I faded into unconsciousness, the face of a tan-skinned, amber-eyed, orange-haired man with serious after-shave flashed before my eyes. His lips formed my name, and then everything disappeared.

I woke up with a start in my cage. There was a certain feeling in the pit of my stomach, but I couldn't pinpoint it. Suddenly, the face of a somewhat pale, brown-eyed, brown-haired woman flashed before my eyes. She spoke.
"A revelation has begun." As her lips became still again, everything faded into black, and I dived into the unknown of oblivion.
