Sorry for the slow review followed by a short chapter but I promise it will be worth the wait! =]]

It's been almost a week since I last saw Tohru. I miss her so much. I guess its better this way. Kagura having my baby is way too much drama to drag her into. Plus that would just be selfish of me.

Kyo was snapped back to reality by the ding of the microwave. His ramen was done. It was that which had reminded him of Tohru in the first place. He missed her cooking and Kagura was a terrible cook. She tried, but he didn't want to worry her over him not eating. When he had finished his meal he went into the next room to watch tv. Kagura, who had recently woke up, joined him shortly afterwards. She curled herself up beside him on the couch. They stayed that way for hours in silence. When Kagura would ask him something he would reply with one word sentences. Kagura began to feel as if something was bothering him.

"Is everything okay Kyo?"

"Yea, I'm fine."

He always said that and she had been asking him this for days now. He seemed distant from her.

"Are you sure Kyo because you seem like you mind is somewhere else."

Kyo turned off the television.

"Well this whole baby situation has got me really thinking. It's going to change my life. I graduate high school next week and I'm going to be a father soon to follow. I guess you could say I'm stressed."

Kagura looked down.

"Is that everything on your mind?"

"Pretty much…"

"Is Tohru on your mind?"

Kyo stood up.

"I'm going to go take a shower."

With that he left the room ignoring her question. Kagura sat there pondering for a while. She then felt ashamed but she knew what she had to do. When Kyo was done showering he went into her bedroom. Kagura knocked slightly before opening the door behind him. He was sitting on the bed fully dressed with a towel draped over his damp hair facing the wall.

"Kyo we need to talk."

Kyo sighed

"If this is about Tohru then don't worry Kagura," he turned to face her. "I am not leaving you I promise. We are having this baby together and I am going to face my consequences. There is no reason for you to be concerned. I am not going anywhere."

"I can't do this anymore Kyo. I'm not pregnant."

Kyo looked at her confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"I lied to you okay! I lied to you because I wanted you to be with me. At the time I was being really selfish and I figured if I could trick you for a couple months with the baby story you would forget Tohru and maybe learn to love me. I see now that it was wrong of me. You clearly are in love with Tohru and I cannot watch you suffer like this any longer, no matter how much I love you. Kyo I am sorry about what I have done and I hope you can forgive me."

Kyo was completely surprised and speechless by her honesty. He just stood there in silence. He wasn't mad nor was he happy. Kagura left the room and walked back down the stairs. Tears were forming in her eyes but she refused to let them fall. As she stood in the hallway she rethought over her actions disappointed in herself. Moments later Kyo walked down holding a single suitcase with a small amount of his belongings inside. She looked up at him and the image of him leaving caused her tears to drop. He approached her and smiled. She smiled back up at him through her tears.

"I'm going back to Shigure's house."

"Okay."

As he passed her to get to the door he turned back and gave her one last hug.

"Thank you for telling me the truth Kagura. I am not mad at you."

She acknowledged him by squeezing his figure tighter around herself.

"You will always be my friend Kagura."

She gently pushed him away ending the embrace. He looked down at her.

"Not this time Kyo. I can't be your friend anymore. Not as long as I have these feelings for you. It hurts way too much to just be your friend and I think my feelings for you will never go away."

Kyo nodded with understanding. He turned and began walking out the door. As he walked the only thing that mattered to him now was seeing Tohru. With every step he grew closer to her, and the excitement in his heart grew. Kagura's apartment was almost out of sight now. He glanced back one last time to make out the silhouette of his old childhood friend standing in the doorway one last time before he continued his journey.

The ending of this story is comming really soon...DONT MISS IT!
