"Over My Head (Cable Car)" – The Fray
I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves
And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over...
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
((Present day))
The phone ringing brought Kyo back into the world of the living so to speak as he opened his eyes and blinked. He noticed he must have fallen asleep on the couch. He began to sit up but a weight on his chest stopped him. He blinked and looked at the source only to smile. Sabra was sound asleep, curled up on his chest. Achak was sitting in the crook of his arm and purring up a storm. The three must have fallen asleep about an hour ago. He shifted and moved as carefully as he could so he wouldn't wake either of them and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Kyo? It's Yuki."
"Hey Yuki. What's up?" Kyo was used to seeing Yuki now. He would stop by every now and then to see Sabra and just talk. It had been awkward at first but Yuki was finally beginning to accept Kyo.
"I'm heading out of town for a month so I won't be able to stop by tomorrow like planned. Sorry."
"Nah, that's fine. Stop by when you get back though. Sabra's been waiting to see you."
"How's she doing?"
"She's asleep right now."
"Good. Well I have to go catch my plane. Talk to you when I get back."
"See ya." Kyo hung up and sighed, a small smile forming as Sabra shifted and latched on to Achak. The cat just looked up briefly and yawned before falling back to sleep. Kyo shook his head and shifted slightly. Seeing he was trapped he sighed and gave up. A knock at the door told alerted him of a visitor and he struggled to figure out how to get up with out waking Sabra. He found it useless.
"Come in!" he called just loud enough for them to hear but not wake the sleeping babe.
"You don't usually keep your door locked…" Haru said with a chuckle as he slipped inside. Kyo rolled his eyes.
"I'm guessing you found the extra key?"
"Yup! So how's the little one doing?" He asked, walking over and sitting down on a chair across from the couch that Kyo was trapped on. Kyo smiled and looked down at the tiny girl.
"She's good." Kyo replied. Haru nodded.
"She's grown, that's for sure."
"Here… Take her. I gotta stand or at least sit up." Kyo said noticing Sabra had woken up by now. Haru picked her up and set her in his lap.
"You know… I never really did understand how you met Torhu for the second time." Haru stated. Kyo blinked. The question had come from nowhere and he hadn't been ready for it.
…………………………………………………………………
1 year 8 months ago……….(1)
"Ow! …That hurt…" Torhu hissed. She picked up her few things and looked up as a hand was held out. Kyo quirked a brow at seeing her again.
"You ok?" He asked. She smiled and took his hand. He helped her stand and handed her her bag.
"Thank you, Kyo."
"Don't mention it. How are you now? Any problems?" He asked. They started to walk down the street. Torhu shook her head, her smile staying in place.
"Nope! Well… I ran into Kage a few days ago… but…Kyo?" She asked, noticing Kyo had stopped at the name Kage.
"Damnit! I was hoping I was wrong." He shook his head. Torhu looked at him confused.
"Eh?" He sighed and looked her in the eyes.
"Kage's my cousin. Tall, black hair, amber eyes?" she nodded.
"Yeah… that's him. The ass hole sent me a message telling me about you. I was hoping my eyes weren't focusing right. Torhu… I'm sorry about Kage. He's always been like this." Torhu blinked and then smiled slightly.
"Well! It's nice to finally meet you then!" It was Kyo's turn to look confused.
"He always used to tell me all about you. About what you used to do and how reckless you were. You're cuter than I imagined." She said with a giggle as she began to walk off. Kyo just blinked back the shock. She looked over her shoulder and stopped.
"Coming?" He blinked and then shook his head slightly.
"Uh… yeah…"
1 year, 4 months ago…….
"So is it true that you broke into the school just so you could get Haru out of detention?" Torhu asked. Kyo smirked as he thought about that one.
"Heh… I remember that one. We got detention for a month."
"So you did!?" He nodded.
"Yeah… but you don't have to take my word for it. You want a witness…. HARU!" He called. The white haired teen looked up and smiled. He walked over and spotted Torhu. By now Torhu was a common sight around the city. She'd taken to walking with Kyo and talking to him. She'd met Haru on a few occasions and had taken a liking to him as well. No matter how much her brother protested, she would head out and meet up with Kyo.
She knew Yuki didn't approve of Kyo, seeing as they had been in the same class as one another. Haru was a year younger than Kyo and Yuki but he could hold his own.
"Hey guys! Torhu! Nice to see you again!" Haru greeted. Kyo rolled his eyes.
"You saw her yesterday…"
"And your point?" Torhu just laughed. She always found these two entertaining.

((Present time))
Sabra was asleep in her crib and Kyo once again sat on the couch. Haru was sprawled out on the floor, looking up at the ceiling. It had been silent for a good half hour.
"You know Kyo…" Haru finally spoke.
"What?"
"You saved Torhu… but what I'm not sure about… is how she saved you." Kyo looked up and over at Haru.
"What do you mean?" Haru gave a weak smile.
"Kyo… you know as well as I do that if it hadn't been for Torhu… you wouldn't be here today." Kyo let his head rest on his arm again and just stared of in the distance. Haru had been right. If it hadn't been for her he wouldn't be there taking care of Sabra and Torhu wouldn't be dead.
