Last chapter was gory I know I'm terribly sorry but I had to get it out of the way and I had to make up for my previous Yuki bashing. I like Yuki I just don't like the idea of YukixTohru. Anyway this chap is like fastforward to a week from the incident. Hana gets major OOC in this chap and I have no logical explanation except that is the way that I wrote her part so if you don't like fine flame me. Bitter words are but another weakness mankind uses to destroy its own. Hmm made that up by myself. This chap has less gore and more fluff and a momentus happening in it.It's pretty obvious I am an absolutly terrible supriser. I am going to start spelling Kyo with the 'u' if anyone has any problems you may address them in a review or feel free to email me along with any other complaints you may have. Sorry if the characters sound english I'm trying my best to write them and not sound like a prat. Hey my first attempt I read over the story in my head and they sounded Irish.I wrote the one scene before I got to this chapter so its going to be awkward lead in it so if you want ignore the brief YukiTohru scene cause the one after it will probably make more sense but I didn't want to delete the scene because...I don't exactly know why...
Kyou's Babe: I know Tohru won't bodily kill Akito or anyone actually bodily kill him. I was thinking striking him with a fatal disease or having Kyou and Tohru face him and have him go like completly insane till he dies of an adrenaline shock. I've been pondering it but yes to my reviewers Akito must die. I would also prefer no more soap opera comments I hate those. The angst is great but I stopped watching those when I hit twelve and a half. Though I am curious as to what Soap Opera's you watch as to compare my story to one.
Mitora Jesus-Freak: Our dear Kyon-Kichi shall not die as long as I am the author of this super sucking right now until I get to the juicy stuff in this fanfic. I know how you feel he gets annoyed when I call him Mai Kawaii Neko he thinks its girly.
ChinaWings: Yes I love HanaYuki but for you I'll stick with main KyouTohru but be warned. Contact.
Ki chan 112891: Thank you. It is quite inspiring when people compliment my work it gives me a new drive to climb over this wall of creative barreness.
Inu-lover-alwayz-n-4ever: Oh no I feel so sorry for you.Read all you want until your eyes start to bleed.
Kirri: Yes grammer has ne'er been one of the subjects at which I excel. I'm a history major and I am completly obsessed with Greek Mythology and I enjoy dabbling in Rome's occasionally. To/Two/Too its all the same to me like There/Their/They're. I'm a good speller though so I hope that will redeem me.
Chopstxakfgirl88: Yes that chapter was certainly a shock to a resting system. I was even a bit bewildered myself as I edited that chapter I was quite surprised that I had written something like that but that Tohru she's such a dense airhead. Which may I point out is an oxymoron. She doesn't see that she's fallen in love with out favorite baka neko. I quite agree though after uploading it I was like what the bloody hell did I write.
Alucardsgirl3: Yes I have been lagging a bit in my duties as a respectable author. I had the first four and a half chapters written out before I began transcribing it onto my word document. Now I just have to wait for a new idea to infiltrate my stubborn skull.
Dreamcloud516: Yes I know how you feel. I am a hypocrite. I am always complaining of authors who leave cliffhangers. The when the don't not update for what seems to be an eternity...well to put it bluntly it pisses me off.
Jesters pet Orieles: Thank you I always enjoy and greatly appreciate a generous review. Frankly I'm surprised anyone is still reading this. I'm such a small name around the literature community. I have gotten such a turnout but on a story I cannot claim as my own. I just wish I could get this support on my originals. Then again perhaps when I have finished a decent one and edited it I shall be more known in the writing community. Poetry does not pay the rent in fact it doesn't pay anything...basterd company. I need a damn agent. .
Krissy119: Yes I shall have multitude's of fluff that it shall be like one author described sleeping on a bed of billowing blue cotton candy. It shall be like lieing on a cloud watching when Harry Met Sally and I Qoute " And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's re tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." End Quote. Yes Tohru can swear dammit Kyou was dying of course she can swear.
KittyVicious: Yes I enjoyed writing that line. I had figured what better way the to wake Shigure up then to threaten him with having to rely on Yuki to cook breakfast because the only other residence of that house with any culinary skills is Kyou and he's well...was dying. I enjoy onigiri's with little baby umbeoshi's on their backs.
Singingstargt: Yes my sincerist apologies for all the gore I have placed in the previous chapter. I did need to get it out of the way I do have this kawaii scene between Kyou and Tohru but first I need Tohru to realize she's in love with Kyou. Dear me I don't know how anyone puts up with her she is such an insufferable airhead. She really is a space cadet talking to her is like talking to thin air all the words you have whispered are lost to the wind.
Unchained3011: Yes Kyou shall get better I'll divulge some information he'll be back to school after the Harvest Break which is four days away and Harvest Break last for eleven days it starts on a Thursday and ends on a Sunday which means in one Monday's its back to Kyou and Uo's loud and boisterous arguments. Hoorah!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I tear my heart open.
I sew myself shut.
My weakness is that I care to much.
And our scars remind us that the past is real.
I tear my heart open just to feel.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sohma Yuki hugged me...and I enjoyed it. I felt light-headed and like my heart was beating to fast. It felt like my blood was racing to my ears and my face was all red and heated. I felt wanted in his embrace...at least for as long as he could hold me before turning into a rat. What's wrong with me...this isn't right. I'm the outcast...the henshu...Da-ku Kijo...not a friend of a prince. I wanted to hate you Yuki...I wanted to wish you dead...I still do...why then? Hana stood in her room staring out the window over what parts of the city she could. What right does he have invoking these feelings...feelings that I can't handle. I've never had to deal with these...there was never a reason. I was hated...teased. I wasn't ready to be consoled...comforted. I wasn't ready to feel another human embrace...from a guy...from Yuki Sohma. How could I be so weak. Has my life taught me nothing. I don't need his pity. A lone tear slid down Hana's face as the golden rays crept into her room. That worthless puriti-kun doesn't deserve my tears. All he deserves is my reluctant acknowledgement he now is closer to my Tohru-chan.
" Saki."
Hana turned to stare down into the identical dark eyes of her brother. " Yes Megumi?" She turned her head away " What do you want?"
" Am I not entitled to worry for my eldest sister?" Megumi asked.
" It's nothing." Hana said. " I'm fine."
" What would you say if I told you I didn't believe you?" Megumi asked.
Hana looked back into the eyes of her younger brother...the one person who probably understood her most. " I'd say to go curse a memeber of that Prince Yuki fan club."
" Ah yes them. I'm still puzzled on what number two's name could be." Megumi said. " Do you think you could do a little research for me?"
" Sure." Hana said.
" Well come on Saki. Mother said that dinner is ready." Megumi said.
Hana placed her hand on Megumi's shoulder turning back to look across the horizon to the setting sun. I don't know what you were trying to pull Sohma but the kijo is not a kasuka henshu.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
One week later...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" Miss Honda." Yuki whispered to the limp body of the girl draped across Kyou's body. Surprisingly after Akito had almost killed him he had begun to get better. He would have a nasty scar were his cheek was sliced and the gash across his abs were. The only thing that wasn't healing though was the penetration wound on his back. Tohru sat for countless hours nursing his wounds...cleaning them...dressin them and finding every remedy to help them heal but the one on his shoulder just wouldn't close
" Mmm." Tohru rolled over and snuggled her head in the crock of Kyou's neck." I miss you Kyou."
Yuki gave a pained smile. " Miss Honda wake up." Yuki bent to whisper in her ear. " We're going to be late."
Tohru shot up. " Oh my god I can't be late again. I promised mom I'd be there on time today. I'm going to get a detention and then I'll be late for work. I'll get fired. Oh where's my uniform! Is that a spot! I didn't get to wash it! Can't find my ribbons! My bag where is it! Oh no I can't find my bag." Tohru shrieked running around her room frantically trying to find everything.
"Shut up."
Tohru froze and halted in mid-step. She turned to where the voice had come from. Yuki had whipped around to face it too.
Kyou's eyes remained shut but a smirk had appeared on his lips.
Tohru walked over to Kyou's side. " K..Kyou."
" You talk to much." The neko said in his comatose state.
Tohru brushed Kyou's hair off his face. " I gotta go now Kyou. See ya tonight."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" So Tohru what's up with orange-top?" Uo asked as she and Hana and Tohru sat down to eat lunch.
" Yes Tohru how is Kyou doing?" Hana asked.
" He's still sick but he's gotten better. He might even be back to school after the break. Thank goodness most of what we've done in class has been reviews." Tohru said. " I really hope Kyou wakes up soon it's too quiet without him. I guess I kind of miss having him walk with me to work. Yuki's been so busy but even so...he's not like Kyou…..and I just miss him I guess."
Uo smiled. " Aww Tohru that's cute. Look Hana our Tohru has a crush."
" Arisa don't be so asinine." Hana said.
Tohru blushed an looked down clicking her nail tips against one another. " Do you think so Uo? Do you think that I like Kyou?"
Uo's smile dropped off. " Yeah why? Is there something bad about that?"
" Yes Tohru what do you find wrong with liking Kyou?" Hana asked being a hypocrite to what she had stated two years previous.
" Hey you were the one who said you couldn't allow one of those Sohma boys to fall in love with our little Tohru." Uo said
" I said until the shadows from their souls faded and now I have changed my views. If Kyou takes our little Tohru….his shadows are not a horrible problem. Perhaps our Tohru-chan is what he needs to heal his scars." Hana said.
" Uo! Hana!" Tohru said loudly turning some heads. She was usually so quiet and reserved like Hana not loud and boisterous like Uo. "Its just...I...I don't know...what to do. I...I'm confused and kind of scared."
"That's normal Tohru-chan." Hana said. " This would be the first boy you have fallen in love with."
" Love." Tohru blushed. " No oh no I...I...Kyou's like...like a big brother."
Uo and Hana rolled their eyes.
Yes my naive and innocent Tohru you are in love. I can see it in the way your eyes shine when you talk about him and the rosy glow of your cheeks when he looks at you. Perhaps I will never fully come to accept that you have grown up and no longer need me. I will accept that you have fallen in love and that when I am not there he will protect you. I know Kyou would give his life to save you. I don' think the shadows that cover his heart and hide his soul will ever fade. They'll always be there to hide him from the world but from you I don't think they can hide anything back. When you can see just how much you love him and he loves you. Oh great I'm turning into Tohru sappy and sentimental and pink. I need to find some angst to entertain my black heart. Look Yuki fanclub members...
" AHH!"
Opps my waves slipped. Now where are the other freaks.
She's so dense Kyoko. I think she's scared she'll forget you. I wish you were here to tell her its okay...but then if you were here she would never have met Yuki and Kyou. Still she needs guidance and love advice is definatly something Hana and I can not give our Tohru. I feel so useless Kyoko this is another problem I can't help Tohru find an answer for. I feel like such a lousy friend.
Mom I don't know what to do? I can't handle this bubbling in my stomach and this weird tingling when I'm with Kyou. Love. I can't...I have to make it to college and get a good job. What should I do? Mom I need you so much right now. You always knew just what to say to make me feel better. You always had the right advice to give. I feel like you're slipping away from me. I don't want to lose you mom. I just...I don't know what to do.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" Hana I'm really worried." Uo said as she and Hana were walking to the Hanajima residence.
" What troubles you Arisa?" Hana asked.
" This whole love triangle thing between the Prince, Tohru and Orange-top."
" I don't think Yuki will be a problem." Hana said with no emotion flinching her steady tone
" Hana what did you do to him?" Uo asked.
" Nothing...unfortunatly." Hana said. " I overheard him the other day talking to that Hatsuharu. He was telling him that even if those two were so blind that they didn't see the love they've wanted and need...he wouldn't take our little flower. He began talking of little sisters and a confidant. I think he's accepted he's lost this battle."
" Whatever. What about Tohru and Orange-top then?" Uo asked.
" That we shall let them decide for themselves." Hana said. " Perhaps it is time we let our flower grow into the blossom who inside is fighting for release."
'My mom always said that for every flower that withers with the frost another one will always be there to color the frozen earth. We'll always be friends Hana-chan. So when you're scared or alone I'll be there. I'm Tohru to the rescue saving the day from sadness...cause you know with me you're never alone.' Hana smiled at her house. Yes Tohru-chan we shall always be friends but I think it is time you be the lover that Kyou needs. Not that kind of lover. They're only in high school you sick perverts...nevermind.It is time for you to be the woman you have become. The innocence has been shattered from you eyes and the naivety banished from your soul. You know that life is cruel and unfair yet you keep fighting with a smile. I shall miss being your protector Tohru-chan but I will always be there when you need a friend.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" Hi Tohru-chan."
" Ahh Momiji you scared me." Tohru shrieked.
" I'm sorry. So how is Kyou?" Momiji asked
Tohru blushed as Momiji reminded her of the talk Uo and Hana had and of all the weird tingles she had been feeling since Kyou had walked her home from work that chilled late summers eve. " He's much better he spoke to me this morning."
" Really?" Momiji asked. " What did he tell you?"
" He told me to shut up." Tohru giggled. " He said I talked to much."
Momiji smiled. " Yep Kyou's getting better."
" Momiji is it...um...do you think..." Tohru trailed over nervous and embarresed.
" Yes Tohru?" Momiji said.
" Is it possible for the cat to love...to be loved?" Tohru asked softly.
Momiji's elated face dissolved into a dreamy and subtly happy one. " Everybody can be loved by someone Tohru-chan. Kyou's only human...he can't deny what he feels and he has human emotions even if he doesn't admit them for fear of being weak. Kyou can be sad like you and happy just like you and Kyou can love...he can be lost in a passion for one special person. That one special person can love him back. Kyou can be loved by someone Tohru-chan. True love may be something Kyou has never had but that doesn't mean it can't happen." Momiji said. " Why do you ask?"
Tohru looked away sure that Momiji who always hide this side of maturity away from the world could see right through her. That if she looked at him he would know exactly why she asked. It was almost like Momiji already knew and that he was telling her all of that...like a reasurrence but he couldn't know. She didn't even really know what was going on inside of her.
" I have to go now. Remember Tohru, Kyou is only human and because he can love...he can be hurt. He's vulnerable right now...take care of him." Momiji said before turning away to sneak into his fathers office.
Oh mom it's like everyone seems to know something I don't. I hate this feeling that I can't do anything...I...I...I feel so dizzy...and hot...and so...tired...Tohru's head slumped and she fell into her wash bucket spilling it all over the floor. Oh no how could I get sick again...mom...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Tohru stirred and she lifted her head from the pillow. She streched at her arm to have it brush againist Kyou's chest. Tohru popped up and blushed as Kyo twitched in his slumber.
" You take up too much room." He whispered.
Tohru sweatdropped. How do you respond to someone in a coma? " Uhh...I'm sorry."
" Oh Miss Honda you're awake." A soft and caressing voice said from the door.
Tohru looked up to see Yuki approaching fully dressed for school. " How long have I been out?"
" Two days." Yuki answered rubbing his tired eyes the bags becoming quite noticable.
" TWO DAYS!" Tohru shriek jumping out of bed. " Oh no I have to get to school. I can't believe I missed more school. Oh I keep letting mom down. How could I get sick."
Yuki grabbed Tohru's wrist and sat her down on the bed. " You're not going to school. You still have a slight fever and you just not strong enough to go. Break is tomorrow nothing important is happening in class today it'll probably just be a free period."
" I have to go. I can't miss anymore school." Tohru said even though she was feeling tired. Tohru started as she felt something brush her waist. She looked down and blushed as she saw Kyou's hand placed on her hip. " I...okay but promise to bring all my work home and ask for extra credit."
Yuki gave Tohru a disbelieving look. What does she need extra credit for she's got the best grades in the class next to me and that stupid cat cause she talked me into keeping him up. I'm gonna be stuck in a room with that baka neko over break reviewing our class material with him. Only for you Miss Honda.
" Please." She said giving him that scared and helpless look.
" I promise." Yuki said unable to resist her.
" Arigato Yuki-kun." Tohru said.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" C'mon Kyou you've been doing so well." Tohru said brushing a piece of his bangs away from his twitching eyes. You've mumbled some discernable sentances you have to be close to waking up. " You can't give up on me now." Tohru had just gotten over another case of the flu. Yuki had told her to stay home again just to make sure and she had reluctantly agreed after making him promise to bring her work and some extra credit home. She'd made Shigure breakfast and carried a small tray of food up to her room to eat while she sat by Kyou's side as she did everyday. Shigure had somehow managed to get her work to let her have some sporadic days off with pay. She was sure Momiji had played at part in her relief and she was so grateful towards them for it. I'm sorry mom I'm so sorry. I know I said I would work to support myself and have the life that you always wanted me to have...to live for the both of us. But Kyou needs me right now...and I think I need him too. When I go back I'll work extra hard to make up for my lacking. I promise you I'll make up for all the things that I've pushed aside this month. Kyo was still a little feverish but he seemed to be regaining conciousness. He had been mumbling quite a lot and most of the time it was intelligable and his eyes even fluttered open once or twice. He would be so behind in school but Yuki had offered to split Kyou's work with her. He had given in when she had been sad about the thought of Kyou having to stay behind a year. Kyou's shoulder still hadn't healed. She cleaned it and dressed it everyday but nothing changed. It had been almost a week since the incident had happened.
" Tohru." Kyou whispered softly and hoarsely.
Tohru looked down at Kyou disappointed his eyes remained closed. She watched a lone tear drop from the corner of Kyou's eye.
" Don't." He whispered his voice raw with emotion...with pain.
Tohru caressed Kyou's heated cheek with her fingertips. " Oh Kyou whats hurting you now? What's worse than Akito."
" There are fates worse than death." Kyou said.I know rip off
Tohru was stuck in a stupor of the fact that Kyou had answered her.
" The rejection as a child is like a scar that will never heal. It's a stain that will never fade. I...just...wanted to be loved...was that too much to ask? To have someone to want me, to hold me close and whisper to me. To know that I do make a difference in someone's life." Kyou said his voice strained with some physical pain but mostly emotional agony. " Do you know how much it hurts to love someone and know that they could never love you back. To see them so happy with somebody else laughing...and smiling while you're so alone...feeling worthless and trapped. The pain is so unbearable you pray that it'll go away. No matter how happy they made you...you start to think life would be easier without them. You wish you could forget them but everytime that you close your eyes you see their face. You see their sweet smile, you hear their annoyingly cute laugh, and you gaze into the endearing innocence of their dreamy eyes. Then when you start to believe they could be yours...you see that somebody else. You watch helplessly as they take the one you have fallen in love with away."
Tohru gently and hesitantly placed ahand upon Kyou's trembling one. She saw Kyou's eyes twitching more furiously but they wouldn't open. She knew that he was still semi-unconcious and in minor delirium. He would never be sharing this if he weren't. As Kyou talked she felt so much compassion for him. It was wonderful that Kyou had found he could love and it was sad that he couldn't have her, but there was another emotion assaulting her.
" It hurts to want someone this much and know you can never be with them because of who you are. Knowing that you'll never have a future with her. That she'll be happy with that somebody else while you're locked away forever. I wish...I wish I could go back and stop all this before it started..., but I don't really know when it did. I know I never would though, even with all this pain loving them has given me a reason to get up in the morning...gives me a reason to smile. I never did that much even with Kazuma. She's just so sweet and endearing and I can't say no to her."
Tohru felt a heat bubble in her stomach...it turned and it twisted. She suddenly felt angry...cheated. She wanted to be happy for Kyou, she really wanted too...but she couldn't. Why can't I be happy? I...just don't feel so elated for him. He deserves to feel love with a chance at least a small chance he could work to be loved back. So why am I so angry? Kyou's had so much pain and rejection in his life...love is what he needs.
" Tohru please stay with me. I...I just feel good when I know you're near. You make me happy Tohru. In this life of consuming curses and darkness you and that goofy smile make it worth living...worth hanging on to what little hope is there." Kyou revealed not thinking rationally to realize he was actually saying what he felt for her...to her. His brain not telling him to shut up. That he was practically saying I love you. He began hacking and choking on phlegm, his face a contortion of extreme discomfort. " Do you know...how much it hurts...to see you with that damn rat.
Tohru took her eyes off her hand that Kyou had unconciously clasped with his own. Had he been talking about...her? Did that mean...she was...the one he was in love with...and Yuki...? He was...love...
" I keep losing everything to him. All I ever dreamed of having he posseses. I don't want to lose my love and my sanity to him too. I don't want to lose you too Tohru. Not to him...not to that damn rat." He said as he winced in pain...his breathing shallow. " Please." He whispered. " Don't leave me."
" Ahh...Kyou." Tohru whispered placing her head on his chest. Is this how Kyou really feels about me...or is it just the delirium speaking? He's too sick to know what he's saying. Tohru knew though that Kyou was quite well and would probably be back to school after break. She noticed the hot bubbling in her stomach had been soothed and it felt calm and relaxed. Her heart had sped up though and the blood was pounding in her ears. Do I want him to love me? Do I...want to be loved by Kyou...because I'm in love with him. Maybe Uo and Hana are right...he's more than just a big brother to me...he's someone special. He didn't say he loved me though...just that I make him happy. Love and happiness are two different emotions...not connected at all...right. I can't do this though...I promised...I promised I wouldn't...I can't...Tohru let a single crystal tear splash on Kyou's white uniform shirt.
" Tohru-chan." Shigure whispered coming to stand behind her.
Tohru wiped her eyes furiously and stood up. " Gomen nasai Shigure-san. I was just getting ready to make lunch." She placed a hand on Kyou's face just a featherlight brush of her slender fingertips. " I'll be back soon Kyou-kun."
Shigure watched Tohru gently brush Kyou's cheek with the back of her fingers. Yuki was right it was obvious with those two. Obvious to everyone but themselves. He had heard everything from his station in the hall. He knew once Kyou had fully recovered he would deny saying anything at all or worse...not remember saying it. Shigure shook his head as Tohru looked back up at him. " Stay with Kyou he seems to be getting better very fast you never know when he might wake up. Besides our dear Yuki-kun would kill me if he thought I had you doing chores."
" B-b-but." Tohru stuttered.
Shigure lifted a hand to silence her protests. " You need your rest too. You just got over another case of the flu you're still weak we wouldn't want you to catch pneumonia. Kyou can share the bed he's does it every night I'm sure it won't be different cause the sun is shining. He has seemed to have lost quite a few pounds."
" He still won't eat anything." Tohru said her eyes glazed with tears. She was feeling tired though, she hadn't had a full night of sleep since Kyou had first disappeared, and she kept getting sick. The past two almost three weeks now had taken their toll on her body. Tohru climber into the bed next to Kyou, it had become so natural...sleeping with him. He was warm and welcoming even if he was in a coma.
Shigure saw Tohru's instant tiredness as she climbed into bed with Kyou. He smiled as she draped an arm across Kyou's waist and he saw Kyou's body become laxed. He turned to the hall..if he would've stayed but a moment longer. He would've seen a reflex of Kyou shifting to place his arm around Tohru. Had he stayed a moment he would've seen the first smile to grace Kyou's face in the almost three weeks since test two began.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" Tohru hasn't been to school in two days." Uo mused. " She's been missing an awful lot of days. It's just not like her."
" Yes a Kyou has missed almost three weeks of school now." Hana said gazing at Yuki who was currently lingering very tediously between conciousness and passing out. She felt a pang of sympathy for the exhausted boy. She didn't want to feel it...didn't want to care. It was uncomfortable after all she never felt pity to be an emotion to be given. It only made her feel weak...and this was Yuki the most wanted guy of their class. What would he need her pity for? She walked over to the drowsy prince. " Yuki wake up." She said gently shaking his shoulder. " Seguchi-sensai is watching you."
Yuki blushed as Hana's gentle monotoned voice infiltrated his exhaustion. " Hmm." Yuki looked up at Hana her face blank of any emotions and her eyes were dark and deep tunneling chasms. It's like nothing ever happened between us. " I'm fine Miss Hana."
" Miss Hana." Uo said as she came to stand behind her mysterious friend. " Is there something going on here that I don't know about?"
Hana looked up at Uo and stood away from Yuki. Her eyes so endless and unfeeling and her features still blank and unreadable. " No Arisa nothing is going on but a concern for our Tohru-chans friend." Hana turned and walked away.
Yuki watched Hana walk calmly away from him. I guess to her what happened was just a fluke...
" Whatever." Uo said a bit curious about the exchange between her friend and Yuki. " Just twenty minutes Prince then school is out for the Harvest break. Eleven days of freedom for you." Uo followed Hana back to their work.
Yuki let his eyes wander off the last minute plans for the Harvest Fair to be held the next week to commence the week and a half long break. He let them focus on Hana who was writing something. He began to wonder what she was writing...what was going on in her mind. He wondered if he held any place in her thoughts. Yuki sighed heavily. Just a few more minutes.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
" You know Shigure you really are sick." Hatori said. " Its improper and just...uh. Have you had them sleeping together the whole time.
" Tohru suggested it." Shigure said. " And since when have you been proper Hari-san."
" Since I graduated Medical School." Hatori replied. " You know Akito won't be happy with this should he find out. I fear for Kyou and Tohru...if Akito asks." Hatori trailed off.
Shigure nodded solemnly knowing it would be hard for Hatori to refuse Akito. He hoped it didnt come to that. Kyou and Tohru really did love one another, and they both did so much for each other.
" Akito has been acting suspiciously...he's too calm. He's also been wondering why Tohru has been absent from school the last few days. He was asking questions...he said out of curiousity. Kyou and Tohru aren't Akito's favorite people as you know." Hatori said.
" We can only hope Akito will shrug it off. Pray that he doesn't find it necessary to take Tohru away from us." Shigure said. " They need more time."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I have so much more to write but I'm putting it in another chapter so I'll probably update today. Cause right now its 2:14 am EST.
