"Will they believe that?" Shigure asked even though he knew it was the truth. "I can only hope so." Hatori replied. The sirens were heard and soon the police were in the house. They went up the stairs to Yuki's room, the ambulance wasn't far behind they came in and put the body on a stretcher wrapped it in a blanket and quietly left as Yuki came to. "Which one of you is Yuki Sohma?" The officer asked eyeing each one except Tohru and Kagura. Of course Tohru and Kagura wasn't Yuki they were girls and Yuki was a guys name. "Me… sir…" Yuki stammered trying to open his eyes. "Son you're bleeding." The officer responded. Hatori came around to Yuki and sure enough Yuki's side was bleeding but not to badly nothing a few stitches couldn't handle. Hatori examined Yuki for any more cuts and saw his head was bleeding a little to but it wasn't as bad as his side. "He's never done anything like this officer I swear! He was trying to save… Tohru and me…" Kyo stammered as he tried to wipe his eyes.
"Did you see what happened?" The officer asked. "No I'm sorry I didn't." Kyo answered. "I heard what happened and I came as fast as I could!" Haru shouted breathing heavily from running. "Haru why didn't you wait up for me?" Momiji asked coming in carrying in a blanket that must have been wrapped around him to keep him warm. "I told you if you can't keep up then I was leaving you!" Haru said trying to not to show his black side. "Sorry." Momiji said. "Momiji and Haru over here please." Shigure called. Both boys examined the scene as they walked toward Shigure who was ready to explain what had happened. "Anyway… what went on here?" The police asked. "Akito came here to kill Yuki sir. Akito began to fight Yuki and Yuki tried to throw the knife out the window but Akito attacked him and he stabbed him sir." Hatori replied. "He didn't mean it." Kyo said. "We know Yuki very well sir he's never once let his temper get out of control… unlike some people." Kagura muttered. "Yuki doesn't really have a temper… believe me sir." Haru replied glaring at Kagura. "Yuki's a great person he would never want to kill anybody. This was an accident." Tohru responded cradling Yuki. "I was there sir… I followed Akito I'm the family doctor. Akito lives at my house because he usually gets sick and I tend to him… I followed him and climbed the tree out there…" Hatori explained pointing to the tree. "I watched the whole thing." Hatori finished up. "Officer I'm sorry I let my temper get out of control. He wanted to kill Tohru, Kyo, and Kagura." Yuki replied sitting up.
'Yuki what are you saying! It must be that head injury or something because I never heard from Akito or anybody that he was going to kill us…' Kagura thought. "Son you know you could go to jail for this." The officer responded. "Yeah I know, I just didn't want them hurt they're like my family." Yuki said trying to sit up. "Yuki you're to weak." Tohru said as Yuki struggled to get up. "Since you have witness and people who seem to know you very well… and since this was self defence I'll let it go." The officer said. "Thank you officer." Shigure proclaimed. The officer left and Yuki collapsed back into a deep sleep. Everyone but Hatori and Shigure went downstairs and fell asleep. "I don't like blood." Shigure responded pointing to the pool of it. "You think I do?" Hatori asked. "Well… no." Shigure said. "Then stop complaining and help me clean this up!" Hatori shouted. "Fried onion rings!" Momiji shouted sitting up. "No… really? I swear I didn't eat the last brownie! Zzzzzz… my browniezzzzzzzzz" Haru said as he reached out and grabbed a pillow. 'Haru's so funny when he dreams about brownies.' Momiji thought. After about thirty minutes Hatori and Shigure had cleaned up all the blood just in time to go to bed. Both went downstairs and found a place on the floor and went to sleep. The next morning Yuki went to the secret base along with Tohru. "I dreamt about him Tohru. He tried to kill me." Yuki said as chills were sent up and down his spine. "Yuki I'm so worried about you." Tohru said as she bent down next to Yuki. "Tohru I didn't mean to kill him." Yuki reasoned. "I know you didn't we all know you didn't." Tohru replied. 'This is something he'll have to work out by himself with out you.' Tohru's conscience said.
'But I want to help him.' Tohru thought. 'You love helping people that's great but sometimes you have to let people work things out themselves and this is one of them.' Tohru's conscience replied. Her conscience was right she had to let Yuki figure out what he was going to do. She sat back against a tree and watched as the sun began to paint the sky. Pinks and purples were gone and replaced with oranges and blues and yellows. The sky looked so beautiful Tohru wanted to be like a bird and fly, fly away with Yuki just her and Yuki no one else to stop them or get in their way! Yuki knew he couldn't run from his problems he had tried that once before it didn't work but it did lead him to a safe haven he could safely call home with Shigure. Then Tohru appeared he slowly fell in love with her, that haven that place he called home was always there for him welcoming him home each day! He found himself whispering something to Tohru he thought he'd never say at least not for a while. "After school will you marry me?" Yuki whispered. Tohru turned a bright red but nonetheless hugged Yuki and agreed. "I love you and I don't ever want to lose you." Yuki replied taking Tohru in his arms and holding her tightly. "You'll never lose me I'll always be here right by your side. Even though it may look like I'm not here I am I'm just away for a while letting you decide what your going to do." Tohru responded snuggling into Yuki's arms. "Have a nice walk?" Shigure asked as Yuki and Tohru returned a couple hours later. "Yeah we did." Tohru replied as she went to the kitchen to start lunch. "Hey you guys!" Momiji called out rushing down the stairs with Haru trailing behind.
"Mmmm something smells good." Haru said as he passed Momiji and went into the kitchen. "Yuki how are you feeling?" Momiji asked as he made his way into the kitchen. "Better." Yuki replied. Haru walked over and hugged Yuki something he always did when he visited. "Haru I'm not leaving you can let go now." Yuki replied after about two minutes of awkwardness. "Sorry." Haru said as he let go and took his place beside Momiji. "So what's for lunch?" Kyo asked as he and Kagura made their way downstairs. "Leeks for us and fish for you is that ok?" Tohru asked. "Yeah that's cool." Kyo responded. The guys left leaving Tohru and Kagura alone to chat. "So did he pop the question?" Kagura asked. "Yes! After high school he wants us to get married!" Tohru exclaimed. "Oh wow! I wish Kyo would ask me but he'll do it in his own time." Kagura replied with a small sigh. "Don't worry he loves you very much and he will I promise you." Tohru replied. "He's taking me out to dinner tonight… do you think he'll ask?" Kagura asked. "I'm sure he will." Tohru responded as she checked on both the leeks and fish. "I hope so… he's so sweet and romantic." Kagura replied as she smiled. "So is Yuki he really makes me feel special." Tohru said.
Later that night Kagura left with Kyo on their date and Yuki had to go somewhere although he wouldn't say where. "Well I'm off to see Ayame will you be ok until Kyo or Yuki gets home?" Shigure asked slipping on a light jacket. "Yeah I'll be… oh no I left the bath water running!" Tohru shouted as she rushed up to the stairs. "I'm off!" Shigure called. "Ok bye." Tohru replied as she turned the water off. Tohru got into the bath and relaxed till the door opened. She got up and wrapped a towel around her and slipped down the stairs. What she saw would give her nightmares forever!
