Hey everyone! Happy Chinese New Year! My many thanks to those of you who reviewed. This chapter is a happy new tear gift to you so, don't expect something to come to you in the mail. ;).
"Tohru! Tohru wait!" yelled Yuki, running after her.
Tohru stopped and collapsed.
"I can't. Kyo's out there and he needs help," said Tohru.
"Getting ourselves hurt won't help. We need to go back and get the beads."
"I can't waste time. He needs help, now."
"Let's go back and get the beads. Then, we'll take a break."
"Fine but, it has to be short. He could hurt himself or someone else."
"It will be. Let's go," replied Yuki, going back, with Tohru behind him.
They walked back to the beads. Yuki picked the beads up and handed them to Tohru. They went to rest under a tree, with thick branches and leaves, so, the water didn't touch them.
"We need to rest, relax," said Yuki.
"I can't, not when I know Kyo's out there, without those beads," replied Tohru.
"We'll find him, trust me," said Yuki.
"We have to go, now."
"We just rested."
"I know but, we need to go."
"Ok. Do you know where we should start looking?"
"Kyo might be under a tree, so he doesn't get wet. We should split up," replied Tohru.
"Ok? I don't think it's a good idea, though," replied Yuki.
They both went their separate ways. Tohru searched near a hill, being careful not to fall. An hour later, they found nothing. Tohru looked under a thick leaved trees and still found nothing.
"Kyo!" yelled Tohru, "Where are you?"
Another hour later, Tohru found Kyo. He was normal, he was human. Kyo was standing in the rain, arms streched out and turning around, slowly, in the rain.
"Kyo!" yelled Tohru.
Kyo turned to her and smiled. Tohru ran into Kyo's arms. Kyo's arms were around Tohru's waist and Tohru's arms were around Kyo's neck.
"Why are you still human? Why did you take off your beads? Why are you in the rain, you hate the rain?" asked Tohru, into Kyo's chest.
"I do hate the rain but, I wanted to feel it as a human. The rain neutralizes the cat spirit. I won't turn into a cat or anything else. It's a weird privilage the cat get's because of the other form. I didn't need my beads, so I took them off. I feel human, it feels great," answered Kyo, hugging Tohru tighter.
"Can we sit under the tree? I'm soaked," said Tohru.
"Sure," answered Kyo.
They separated and went under the tree. Kyo sat down and leaned against the tree. Tohru laid her head on Kyo's chest.
"Yuki even came out to help. He's in the rain some where," said Tohru.
"The only reason he came out, is to make sure I don't make a move on you," said Kyo.
"What makes you think you can?"
"I don't know."
"We should find Yuki."
"Why?"
"He came out to look for you. We should do the same for him."
"I'm not."
"Then, you're staying here alone. For 2, more, days."
"I changed my mind. I'm coming."
"I thought you might," said Tohru.
They went the way Tohru had just come from.
"Yuki!" yelled Tohru.
"Yuki!" yelled Kyo.
"What?" yelled Yuki, in the rain.
"Yuki! I found him!" yelled Tohru, running.
"Tohru wait!" yelled Kyo.
Tohru and Yuki collided and fell down a hill. They rolled down the way Tohru had done before. When they came to the bottom of the hill, Tohru was under Yuki. They both blushed. Kyo was a few seconds behind. Yuki leaned forward, for a kiss.
Just as he was an inch away, Kyo came out of a bush and yelled, "Hey!"
"I should get off now. Shouldn't I?" said Yuki, to Tohru.
"Yeah," replied Tohru.
Yuki got up and they all went back to Shigure's house.
