Tohru dropped her bags. Kyo looked up. Yuki spun around. Jezebel scowled. Kyo's mouth dropped open and Yuki swore, Kyo standing and walking to Tohru.

"I know, but... It's not what it looks like, Tohru," Kyo was trying to say, but she was backing up. Yuki came up and punched Kyo without hesitation.

"Don't talk to her!" Yuki snarled as Kyo fell back holding his jaw. "Wait, Tohru!" Yuki yelled as she ran out of the house.

Tohru tried to stop the tears from flowing as she ran towards her mother's grave, she really did. She sniffed and stopped running for a moment, trying to stifle her tears. Little did she know, she stopped in the middle of a street. She looked up as she heard a horn honking at her. Life seemed to go in slow motion as Tohru let out a scream, then the speeding car hit her. She fell on the hood of the vehicle as her head hit the glass, then she fell to the street with blood flowing from her head. Witnesses ran to Tohru as the driver drove away as quickly as possible, then someone called the police.

"Oh, God..." Kyo ran outside as he heard her scream, Yuki following. Jezebel scowled and stood up, wandering around Tohru's home. Who the hell was that girl anyway?

Kyo couldn't stop crying. He really couldn't. The tears just kept coming and coming, him periodically wiping them away. Yuki sat beside him, his head hanging. Kagura sat with Marleo, playing with him dully. Hatori and Shigure were standing nearby, talking to a doctor. The doctor was shaking his head, Hatori and Shigure beginning to look very angry.

"You do whatever you can for her, dammit!" Hatori almost screamed at the doctor. Kyo watched him, his eyes widening. He had never seen Hatori like that before. He let his head drop again, crying more as he realized all of this was his fault. A few moments later, he felt someone touch his shirt. Marleo. "Yeah, buddy?"

"Will Mommy be okay?" He asked, tilting his head. Kyo's voice cracked as he said he didn't know, then held Marleo close to him.

"She's getting major surgery in two hours," Hatori said, walking over to the group. He ran a hand through his hair, obviously flustered. He sat down by Yuki, sighing softly. Shigure looked at Kyo and Marleo, picking up Marleo.

"Go see Aunt Kagura. Your dad and I need to talk." Shigure smiled and handed him to Kagura, jerking Kyo up and leading him outside. Once outside, Shigure shoved him against a wall. "What the hell is wrong with you, Kyo?!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Kyo growled, dropping low.

"Tohru loves you, idiot! And you get with that Jezebel girl?! Even I didn't hit on her! Don't give me the excuse that Tohru wasn't coming back. You knew she was. I don't know what's happened to you, Kyo Sohma, but get out of my house. We'll find you when Tohru wakes up." Shigure said and spun around, stalking inside. Kyo stared after him, clenching his fists so hard he drew blood.


To all my fans: I LOVE YALL! 180 reviews is awesome! This chapter is pathetically short, but the next one is going to be long. I'm sorry it took me so long, my school life is INSANE. Kinda what Tohru is going through right now... You people do know that most of my stories' plots are based on life expierience, right? Well, except the having a kid thing.
