When Hiro woke up he stretched and yawned. But he looked around and noticed he wasn't outside. He turned his head to see Kyou was laying on his bed writing something.

"Kyou...?" Hiro asked slowly and quietly. Kyou turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" He asked and Hiro looked confused.

"I thought.." Hiro looked away and Shigure walked in.

"Um, Hiro. I need to talk to you." He said and Hiro nodded and stood up. Usually the grin Shigure had wasn't there. So it somehow had to be serious.

He followed Shigure into his study and Shigure sat down and looked at Hiro.

"In the hospital... Your mom passed away... The blow to the head was to much.... I'm sorry Hiro." Shigure said softly and Hiro's eyes were wide as he looked downwards.

He slowly looked up at Shigure.

"...Where am... Where am I going to live then?" He asked trying not to cry but his voice sounded like he was already.

"We have to go see Akito today. We'll find out then." Shigure said and Hiro nodded as he looked down. He was definitely in shock. His mother died and he didn't even visit her once. He thought it was going to be like it always used to be. She was going to be fine and dandy like she always was but he knew she wouldn't be. This time it was serious. This time her klutzy ways cost her, her life.

Hiro stood up and walked out of the study and sat on the porch.

"Hey Hiro." Yuki sat down next to him. "I'm sorry." Hiro looked over at Yuki. His expression was calm but then again Hiro's just looked stone. Like he didn't have an expression at all. He was really upset but if you looked at him he didn't even look like there was life in him at all.

"Whatever." He said and looked at his feet as they softly kicked as he swayed them back and fourth off of the edge of the porch.

"Hiro." Kyou called and sat on the opposite side.

"If your going to say sorry I don't need your god damn pity." Hiro snapped and got up and stomped off.

".. I don't know whether or not to be mad at him." Kyou blinked slightly and Yuki sighed.

"He's just upset Kyou. He needs time to get used to not having a mom anymore." Yuki said and Kyou huffed.

"Whatever." He got up and walked inside quickly.

~+ * +~

Hiro sat in front of Akito as Akito drank his tea slowly. He seemed to be sick today but he needed to speak with the sheep about his living arrangements.

"So your mother died." Akito said blankly like it didn't even matter. Hiro nodded and Akito started to cough violently. "I would normally say something but right now I'm much to sick to deal with you. You will stay at Shigure's house until further notice. Please leave." Akito said and Hiro got up and walked out but not before hearing the violent coughs from Akito's room.

Suddenly having the curse of a sheep didn't feel as bad anymore. He would rather die then to have the whole Sohma curse like Akito did.

"So what's going on Hiro?" Shigure asked and Hiro looked up at him.

"Akito said I have to stay with you until he finds some place else or whatever." Hiro said emotionlessly and Shigure nodded slowly.

"Well... Let's get you back to the house. I'm sure Torhu will have something you like there." Shigure forced a smile and Hiro shrugged and they bumped into Hatori.

"Haa-san. Do you mind driving us back to the house?" Shigure gave him a cheesy grin and Hatori looked down at Hiro and then looked at Shigure and nodded.

Great. Pity. Hiro thought bitterly as he rolled his eyes. He HATED the thought of people pitying him. It made him sick to his stomach.

"Come on. The car is this way." Hatori said in his usual calm voice as they walked over to the black car. Hiro sat in the back quietly the whole way. Shigure didn't even talk to much and that's when the car stopped.

"Thank you Haa-san." Shigure smiled widely and Hiro got out of the car and waved unenthusiastically to Hatori and turned around and walked inside the house.

"Oh Hiro. You're staying here still?" Torhu asked with a sweet smile and Hiro glared.

"Yeah what of it?" Hiro snapped and Kyou glared.

"Hey! Stop being a jerk! Just because your mom died doesn't mean you could be a prick!" Kyou yelled and Torhu waved her hands quickly.

"Oh no no. It's okay Kyou. Really!" Torhu insisted and Hiro walked out of the house and sat on the porch and sat there quietly. On any other occasion being her might have been ok. But his mom dying is far from a normal occasion.

Hiro sighed and curled up as he looked at the blue sky. It rained earlier so the skies were grayish blue. Everything was damp and it was cold outside.

He wanted to go home.

A single tear ran down his cheek.

"Ah, now you're crying." Kyou muttered and Hiro quickly wiped the stray tear.

"Shut up stupid cat. Leave me alone." Hiro growled angrily. He wasn't very fond of Kyou right now. But Kyou should know that but instead he sat down next to Hiro.

"I'm sorry for being blunt about it but you really piss me off when you yell at Torhu." Kyou said smoothly.

"Why. Do you like her or something?" Hiro's tone was icy.

"Yeah. I really do. And I don't appreciate you being mean to her all the time." Kyou said and Hiro glared up at him. He was jealous of Torhu. He truly was.

But he didn't like Kyou like that.

"Then why don't you go be next to her." Hiro laid down and curled up a bit and heard Kyou rise.

"Hiro stop sulking! Sure your mom died but just pick a fight with me or something. Yell. Scream. Be a brat. Come on I know your capable of doing THAT." Kyou said and Hiro looked up at him and inhaled deeply.

"Jeez cat you're so annoying. Why don't you go to that stupid girl you like and stop being so worthless.... How was that?" Hiro looked over at Kyou smirking in the slightest and Kyou returned it and playfully punched Hiro.

"Ya bastard sheep." He retorted and Hiro closed his eyes. Feeling slightly happy. This is how it ought to be. He liked it.

"Worthless cat." Hiro looked at Kyou as he stood up and began walking in the house.

I guess he didn't want to be around me for that long.. Hiro thought with a shrug and sigh as he laid down with his hand behind his head.

After a few minutes of being alone Kyou finally came out with two bowls of soup and placed one by Hiro's side.

"What's this...?" Hiro asked while propping himself up slightly.

"Soup. Dinner. Don't want it, don't eat it." Kyou said simply and Hiro sighed as he took it onto his lap and started to eat it.

"Thanks..." He mumbled and Kyou turned to him.

"You know, you wouldn't be so bad if you stopped being sarcastic all the damn time." Kyou said obnoxiously and Hiro rolled his eyes.

"Me not being sarcastic is like you without orange hair. Just doesn't work." Hiro said and Kyou looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"Really? What if I dyed my hair?" He asked and Hiro scoffed.

"Then you'd be an idiot for getting rid of your orange hair." He said simply and Kyou raised an eyebrow.

"You like my hair?" He asked slowly and Hiro looked at Kyou.

"I never said that." He said simply and Kyou smirked.

"Admit it. You like my orange hair." He smirked and Hiro rolled his eyes.

"I never said that.." He retorted with a slight pout but feeling a bit giddy. He wouldn't admit THAT.

"You never said that you hated it." Kyou replied and Hiro paused and turned to Kyou.

"Touché." He wagged his finger slightly at Kyou.

"Yeah I know cause I'm that good." Kyo smirked and Hiro rolled his eyes.

"You're full of yourself." Hiro responded and ate some soup.

"Duh." Kyo slurped the soup and Hiro rolled his eyes.

I think I do have a crush on Kyo.

"Come on inside." Kyou said after Hiro finished his soup. He looked up at the orange haired man and slowly nodded and got up following him inside the house.

AWWWWWWW! I love Hiro and Kyou. They're sexy.

Even though KyouHaru is the best Fruba pairing.. Well next to HatoriAyame ^^

Or maybe AkitoKyou..? Mmm ;3
