Feedback: I would love to hear what you think.

A/n: Thanks to all my reviewers. Akito. At The Disco, Pandababy92, Kenichi666, narsaksas, year of da cat fanclub, and Dreamz. Thank you all so much. But I mostly want to thank my wondeful friend AmethytMysteries for helping me break through my writer's block and giving me some inspiration for this fic.

Coming up:Kyou and Yuki fight. But what about? And who will win?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was storming out and Kyou was in a somewhat cheerful mood. He hated the rain, but it didn't bother him today. His thoughts were broke by Tohru calling,

"Shigure, Kyou! Dinner is ready!"

Kyou stood up from his window seat and walked into the kitchen, taking his seat by Tohru.

"Ooo,curry. We haven't had this in awhile." Shigure commented.

"Yes, I thought it would be a good change." Tohru replied. Kyo took a bite but spit it out in disgust.

"What's wrong, Kyou?

"Leeks!"

"Oh...that must have been Yuki. He helped me prepare it."

"You did it on purpose, you damn rat!"

"What are you going to do, stupid cat?"

"Dan't call me stupid cat!"

"Stupid.Cat." kyou had had enough. He threw a punch at Yuki but Yuki blocked it. When Kyou kicked him, yuki senr him flying.

"Stupid cat." Yuki said sitting down to eat. Kyou got up and ran out the door.

"Shouldn't we go after him?" Tohru asked in concern.

"No, don't worry. He'll be back." Shigure said, picking up his chopsticks.

I can't help but worry though. Tohru thought. How long will he be gone this time?

3 weeks later...

Tohru sat on the roof with her head on her knees. She had done this every night since Kyou had left. She kept hoping to see him come up the drive. Each night she fell asleep on the roof and he still hadn't come back. Tohru felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up.

"Tohru, come on down. It's cold tonight, if you stay up here you'll catch cold." Shigure said.

"But what if he comes back?"

"Tohru, it may be awhile before Kyou's back."

"I'm going to wait till he is." It was no use in talking her out of it. So Shigure went back inside.

"So, she coming down?" Yuki asked.

"I'm afraid not."

Tohru laid on her back and looked up at the sky. As the sun set, she wondered,

Where could Kyou be?

As the stars came out, the night grew cold and Tohru fell asleep.

By morning, the sun was bright. Tohru awoke and climbed down to fix breakfast. On her way to the kitchen, she tripped and fell.

"Are you alright, Honda-san?" Yuki asked helping her to her feet.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"You don't look so well." Shigure said, checking for a fever. "Oh goodness, you're burning up. Yuki, take her to bed while I call Hatori."

"But what about..."

"Don't worry, we'll find something." Yuki helped her to her room and into bed.

"Get some rest honda-san." Yuki whispered but she was already sleeping.

"Yuki, when Hatori comes, tell him I've gone out."

"Where are you going?"

"To find Kyou. She worried herself sick over him."

"Okay, I'll make sure she has her rest." Shigure slipped on his shoes and headed into the woods. He figured he'd check the few places Kyou usually went to. Starting with Kazuma Sohma's dojo. As he walked through the woods, he heard something. Before he could act, a girl had jumped on his back.

"Hello Gure-san." she said.

"Ah...hello Kagura."

"Do you know where Kyou is?"

"I'm afraid that's who I'm looking for. We haven't seen him for three weeks."

"What! You have no idea where he's at?"

"No. But I'll let you know when i find him."

"Thank you Gure-san!" Kagura ran off humming a soft tune.

I hope I can find him. Shigure thought as he came to the dojo.

"Shigure! What a suprise." kazuma said.

"I'm afraid I'm here with bad news. By any chance is Kyou here?" Shigure replied.

"Yes, I'll call him for you. Kyou!"

"Yes, Shishou?" Kyou asked, then he saw Shigure.

"Kyou, you need to go back. Tohru has worried herself sick. She's been falling asleep on the roof while waiting to see if you come back."

"She's sick! I...I'm coming." Kyou sighed as he followed Shigure.

As they came up to the house, the sun was setting. Yuki came out as soon as he saw them.

"Where's Tohru?" Kyou asked.

"She's in bed." Kyou walked inside and went upstairs. He came to her door and knocked.

"Come in." Tohru called.

"Tohru?" Kyou said softly.

"Kyou? Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me. Why did you worry so much?"

"I don't want you to get hurt, that's all. I care about you. I care about all of you."

"Well, you need your rest. I just wanted to let you know I was back."

"Thank you, kyou." kyou slipped out of the room quietly.

Maybe I should...no, I'll leave her alone. Kyou thought.

What is this feeling I get around Kyou-kun? Thoru thought. I get nervous and my heart races. Could I be...no. Tohru closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
