Chapter 8: always with you, even after I'm gone

The cold winter air nipped at Tohru's face as Hatori drove on down the streets. She glanced over at him constantly, noticing the anger in his face. "Hatori?" Tohru finally spoke up.

"……….." He refused to respond.

"I'm sorry if you were busy doing something…I'm terribly sorry I'm such a burden to-" Hatori scoffed at that last sentence.

"Tohru….you are no burden. I was just worried about you. That's all. And I'm very disappointed in Dark." Hatori cursed, but it was so quiet it sounded more like a whisper.

"I'm still sorry." Tohru continued.

"Well…apology accepted." He smiled lightly, making Tohru beam. They were already back at Shigure's.

"Thank you for the ride Hatori. I'll make you lunch someday to repay you." She smiled and waved as he backed out of sight. Tohru inhaled deeply and sighed as she walked through the front door. She shrugged out of her jacket and placed her shoes next to Yuki's. "I'm home!" She called.

"Thank god!" Yuki soon appeared in front of her. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into him. "I can't believe that bastard." Yuki seethed as he embraced the startled girl.

"How…how did you know?" Tears pierced her chocolate eyes.

"Hatori called me before he went and got you."

"Yuki…" She wrapped her arms around him. "I was so scared…I afraid he was going…"

"Shhh…you don't have to explain. It's okay." Tohru lost track of how many minutes passed as they just stood there, holding each other. If it was up to her, she'd never let go.

"If it's okay…can I go see Kyo?"

"Sure, it's fine. I was heading to the library."

"Alright. Be careful." She got on her tip toes and lightly pecked his cheek. "Wear your jacket, it's cold out."

"Alright." He slipped his shoes on and then his jacket. "I'll be back later." He reassured her and then walked out the door.

"Why does this always happen to me?" Tohru questioned herself as she tottered up the steps and into Kyo's room. Shigure was hovering over the sleeping cat. "Shigure?" Tohru questioned, making Shigure jump.

"Oh…back already Tohru?" He asked innocently.

"Yes…um, what are you doing?" She asked suspiciously when she noticed the needle in his hand.

"Nothing, just making sure he's okay."

"Well, alright then. I'll go make dinner." With that she strode out of the room and down to the kitchen.

"Alrighty Kyo." Shigure pushed the needle into Kyo's tanned skin, puncturing the exact spot he was told. "And one more." Shigure sighed, his breath wavered nervously as the needle went in the same place as before.

"Ugh…" Kyo groaned in pain. His muscled tensed, sweat falling down his face.

"I'm sorry Kyo." Shigure apologized. "I'm so sorry." Amazingly tears fell from his eyes and fell onto Kyo's heated body. He sighed one last time and walked out of the room slowly sliding the door shut behind him.

"Get rid of that damn monster!" Akito yelled as he threw a glass plate at Shigure's head, significantly missing.

"Akito…you know I love you but I could never kill Kyo." Kureno twisted in his seat nervously, afraid of what Akito might do next.

"Shigure…you're so hateful." Akito pierced the dog with a cold, dark glare.

"I don't see how." Shigure responded as Akito sat in his lap, wrapping his arms around Shigure's neck, they're faces only inches apart.

"You say you love me…but you won't even do this little favor for me."

"But-"

"You don't even like those brats in your house." Akito smirked.

"I don't mind the company."

"If you're lonely you can live here…with me." His eyes narrowed into slits, burning a hole into Shigure's face.

"That sounds wonderful but I will not kill Kyo." Shigure persisted, making Akito pissed. He pulled the small black hairs on the back of Shigure's head, pulling his head far back.

"Dammit Shigure…if you don't finally get rid of that thing now that we have a chance…I'll….." His eyes turned even darker than before (if possible). He released the dog's hair and cupped Shigure's face. "I'll kill that precious Tohru Honda."

Akito laughed lightly at Shigure's expression. "Akito…"

"Shut-up!" He slapped him across the cheek, making it burn red. "Do as I say! I'm god so listen to me!" Shigure's eyes saddened.

"I'm sorry for upsetting you Akito."

"Good." Akito's lips met with Shigure's, a sweet and simple kiss. "That's a good dog. Now leave me and Kureno, I'm tired." Akito climbed off of Shigure and watched as he wandered out of the room. "Oh and Shigure!" Akito called.

"Hn?" he glanced back.

"He better be gone before Christmas." Akito smirked as he laid his head Kureno's lap. Shigure nodded and then left…distraught.

"Shigure?" Came Tohru's voice as Shigure came back to reality. "Are you okay? You were staring off." He looked at her with dejected eyes, tears making his vision watery.

"I'm sorry Tohru…"

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" She asked worried. She had never in her life ever see Shigure cry. He was always in a teasing, giddy mood.

"I think I'm going away for Christmas."

"Really? Why?" She sat down next to him on the couch.

"I need some time to myself." He stood up, Tohru following. "be good and take care of the boys." he hugged her little frame and walked off. (Collar was on.) He walked to his study and slid the door shut.

"Miss Honda?" Yuki called as he walked in the door.

"Oh! Welcome back Yuki." he smiled at her.

"How's Kyo?" Yuki asked a little concerned.

"I'm not sure, I think he's getting better. Shigure was checking on him a little bit ago."

"That's good." As Yuki took off his shoes they heard Kyo yell at the top of his lungs from his room. Immediately they darted up the stairs.

Shigure sat in his chair in front of a suitcase, tears slowly streaking his face as the cries grew louder and louder.

"Kyo! Please keep still!" Tohru pleaded as he rolled around beneath Yuki's grip. He looked like a child that really didn't want to take his medicine.

"Shit! Make it stop!" Kyo cried as he accidentally slapped Yuki in the face.

"What's going on?" Tohru asked Kyo.

"Someone is screaming!" he yelled as if there was an airplane lifting off in the room.

"No one is screaming Kyo." Yuki answered.

"Dammit!" Suddenly Kyo grabbed Tohru by the shoulders and pushing her beneath him and into the bed, knocking Yuki off of him.

"Kyo wait!" Kyo slammed his lips into Tohru's. She immediately could feel the heat emitting from him. He was burning, as if he was on fire. She broke from him as he collapsed on top of her. Yuki and Tohru stared in shock as Kyo didn't transform. "Kyo?"

"I'm so tired Tohru…" He was quiet as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Kyo, you have to let her go." Yuki pulled at Kyo's arms. It wasn't too hard to get him off of her since he was so sick.

"Yuki…he's burning up. And I mean he's literally on fire." She ran her hand through his orange hair.

"Give me the shot." Kyo demanded. "It'll help wont it?"

"Good idea. He hasn't taken any yet." Tohru grabbed one of the needles. "Okay Kyo…don't move."

"Alright." She swabbed his arm and then slowly injected the antidote into him.

"How do you feel know?" Yuki asked.

"………" He didn't answer.

"Kyo?" Tohru threw the empty needle away in a safe bag.

"Tohru…I just…wanted to tell you that I love you…and I always will."

"Why are you talking like that?" She grabbed his hand, but his hand wouldn't clasp with hers.

"Hey…y' damn rat, I…I never really hated you. You were actually…my best friend." Kyo admitted. Yuki blushed.

"You're my best friend too Kyo." Yuki got on his knees next to Tohru who was now sobbing. "But you're so stupid. Don't talk like you're leaving."

Kyo smiled slightly as his eyelids closed over his dull garnet eyes.

"Kyo?" Tohru called.

"……."

"Kyo!?"

"…….."

"Wake up! Please! Kyo!!!!?" Tohru embraced his arm, tightening her grip around it.

"You stupid cat." Yuki cursed as tears suddenly fell from his own amethyst eyes.

Shigure started his car, slowly, regrettably backing out of the driveway.

There was no sun the next morning. The sky was crowded with dark black clouds. They were ready to pour for Kyo's sake. Tohru never let go over Kyo's now cold arm. Yuki had laid down at Kyo's feet, both of their faces were red and streaked with tears.

"Tohru?" Yuki called her first name instead of Miss Honda. She said nothing. She didn't even move her gaze from Kyo's face. She couldn't believe he was gone. It was a joke, he was just tricking her…pretending to be sleeping. There's no way. It's not possible…Kyo couldn't be….dead.

"Mom?" Kyo murmured. Tohru and Yuki both jumped up at the sound of his voice.

"Kyo?" Yuki called.

"Did he…just talk?" Tohru asked wiping her eyes with her sweater.

"I don't understand…I want to go play outside…" Kyo's eyebrows furrowed as he tossed and turned.

"He's dreaming?" Yuki questioned.

"I'm going to call Hatori." Tohru stood up and ran out of the room to get the phone. After a few moments she returned with a blanket and hot, damp towel.

"What are those for?" Yuki asked.

"Hatori said that Kyo needs to keep his body heat, or else he'll get really cold." She wrapped Kyo in a sheet and two blankets while Yuki placed the damp rag on his cousin's forehead.

"What did Hatori tell you about Kyo?"

"He said that it sounded like Kyo was in a coma." Yuki's expression suddenly turned serious. He was actually worried for Kyo?! "Hatori said he'd be right over…so don't worry."

It's the end! No not really just the end of this chapter. I hope you liked it…at first I was gonna kill Kyo but I hated myself for doing that so I put him in a coma! Isn't that so like a soap opera? Creepy huh?
