Part 2 (why is it so hard?)

Chapter 1: the rat and the hog

Kagura sat at her desk doodling hearts around a picture of Kyo, Kagura remembered that day like it was yesterday. (flashback) Kyo and Kagura stood waiting for the grade 2 class picture to be taken. Kagura giggled, Kyo had insisted to hold her hand in the picture. Finally the photographer came a told them to say 'CHEESE!' Kyo smiled and Kagura had an idea, she turned and leaned into Kyo. Just as the camera flashed her and Kyo were kissing. After the picture Kyo's eye's got really big and he let go of her hand. "Kagura?" (end of flashback) then someone knocked on her door.She spun around in her swivel chair. It was Yuki, but something had to wrong, Yuki wouldn't set foot in the Sohma house with out something being wrong. "Yuki?" Kagura said, she wondering if Kyo was with him. Yuki came and sat on her bed, she followed his lead. "Kagura-" Yuki's eyes were sparkling, but sadly, as if he'd just been crying. "Kyo and Tohru, they… well" Kagura knew what he meant to say but she couldn't hear it, she slapped her hand on his mouth. She intended to throw him threw her wall, but she just burst out crying, Yuki placed a hand on her shoulder. "Kagura…" Yuki trailed off his voice cracking. "So I g-guess that m-means we b-both los-t." Kagura didn't know how she knew, but she knew, Yuki and her had both lost their loves –Kyo and Tohru - she looked up, tears were forming in Yuki's eyes. She'd never realized just how sensitive he really was. "Ya, I guess" his voice trembled terribly. She sat on her bed, Yuki next to her, her head in her hands. "my- Kyo…" then she heard the sound of someone stifling their own tears. Yuki was turning away, but she still heard him whisper, to himself, "Tohru…"

Yuki sat on Kagura's bed feeling sorry for himself, he knew he should be comforting Kagura, but he just couldn't bring himself to look at her. he was devastated, but for some reason being with Kagura was helping him coop; she had lost exactly what he had, and technically, to the same person. "Kagura?" Yuki wasn't facing her but he hoped she wasn't in a punching mood. "do you want to go to a movie or something?" he turned toward Kagura, she was looking up at him through her fingers, "ya, I think I would like that." Yuki stood up and helped Kagura stand on her shaking legs. Yuki felt it was his job to comfort her. "He isn't good enough for you." He tried to keep his voice level. Kagura, who had been staring at her feet looked up. "what?" Yuki shuffled his feet. "the cat- he's, he's not good enough for you-," his voice faltered. She was looking strait into his eyes, as if searching his soul. "- you deserve better then that stupid cat." Kagura was still looking at him so he turned and started walking out the door, "you can get your coat, I'll be right outside." Out of the corner of his eye he saw Kagura pick up a small pink purse. He turned around on his heal. "No Kagura, it will be my gift to you." He walked over to Kagura placed her purse back on the stand and stuck out his elbow. Yuki thought he saw Kagura blush but the windows were closed so he wasn't sure. She placed her arm around his and he escorted her out of the cage that was the Sohma main house, and out on to non-Sohma property.

Kyo felt kind of wounded when Tohru bought them tickets to a movie called 'men, they always leave' right after they had gotten together. "Geez, now I know that you really trust me." His voice sounded more sarcastic then he intended. Tohru looked up at him her eye's big as saucers, saucers full of chocolate milk, the colour of her brown eye's. then she started one of her apology tirades. "oh, my gosh, I so so sorry, I didn't even think, I just wanted to see this movie but if you-" he cut her off by placing his hand on her shoulder, he'd always had a soft spot for Tohru, especially when she babbled. He walked in to the movie theatre, eyeing the kung-fu game in the arcade. He knew the game would be no match for him, his master trained him to a much higher level then a video game. "oh, lets sit here!" Tohru pulled his hand towards two open seats half way up the incline. Kyo sat down, he'd never liked movie theatre seats; but these one's where just plain irritating, he tried crossing his legs, which only made it worst. He noticed a couple start to make their way in front of them, he thought if he put his feet up on the seat maybe they wouldn't sit down. So he placed his crossed feet up between two round seats, but despite his best efforts the couple sat down on either side of his feet. The couple must have just been some girl friends because they were both very female looking, or maybe one of them was just a very feminine guy. It reminded Kyo of Yuki, but before he could get upset the movie began, and it went on, and on and on, Kyo almost feel asleep.

Yuki sat next to Kagura in the movie theatre, trying to think of the most inconspicuous way to move Kyo's feet away from his head, Yuki was sure Kyo didn't know it was them sitting in front of them and Tohru obviously didn't know either, if she did he suspected she would have already deathend anyone in a five seat radius from all her apologies. but Yuki just sat there watching the movie, he had realized if he as so much as touched Kyo smelly sneakers kyo would leap up and find out it was him, then he would have spoiled the movie for all the other spectators, not that the stupid cat didn't deserve to be humiliated, and possibly beat up by his ex-girlfriend. Yuki closed his eye's and pictured what Kagura might do to him, he snickered to himself. then Kagura looked at him around Kyo's feet, tears filed her eyes, she was clutching a Kleenex, Yuki looked at the screen then realized the main character 'Bruce van Holt' the America actor, had just died in the hospital, he looked back at Kagura she was dabbing her eyes and reaching for a second Kleenex. He reached his hand out to comfort Kagura, but as he did so he jerkily bumped Kyo's foot. He pulled his hand back quick as lightning, but Kyo didn't seem to notice so; making sure to avoid Kyo's foot he held Kagura's hand. She looked up at him with her big gray eye's glinting in the light of the movie. She must have just noticed Kyo's foot because she let go o his hand and pushed it away, Yuki bite his lip, but Kyo only grunted and placed his feet down where they should be. Yuki looked at Kagura, he wished he could be have as brave as her, she turned her head back to him then lied her head on his shoulder. Unfortunately the movie credits had just began to end the movie.

Chapter 2: Awkward having.

Shigure sat in his office clicking is pen against his reading glasses. Mii was stabding write behind him, he could feel her shaking. He turned around in his chair and placed his pen into the pocket of his robe. "Nothings coming to me" he said as he past the shaking Mii out the door into the hall. Mii held her hands infront of her face pleadingly, Shigure smiled. He couldn't hold it any more, he doubled over laughing. "ha, ha, ha. Your to much Mii, there's no new date-" Mii started trembling worst then ever, "what?" Shigure laughed more, he could feel his heart beating rapidly. "-I phoned you!" Shigure found this hysterical, obviously Mii didn't agree with him. Shigure laughed, his back against the wall as Mii dropped to her knees and sobbed. He was wondering what type of word play would be appropriate when he heard someone open the door. "Shigure, what have you been doing to your poor editor?" yelled Kagura walking in holding Yuki's hand, he stopped laughing long enough to do a double take. " why are you holding hands?" Shigure stood up strait and walked towards Yuki and Kagura; leaving his miserable editor sprawled on the floor. Yuki and Kagura let go of each other's hand, but the deed was done. Shigure began his usual mocking. "Yuki and Kagura sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-GEEEEEEEE!" Shigure found himself back in his study with a very sore shoulder. (time for a Saki commentary): Shigure was bugging Kagura to the max so she punched him threw his wall, thus ending him up in his office and dislocating his shoulder.(end of commentary) Shigure stood up holding his shoulder, he looked through the hole in his home and saw Kagura help Mii to her feet. "come on Mii, lets get you some tea and as far away from your stupid author as possible." Shigure steeped through the new door way and looked at Yuki he was staring down the hall towards Kagura. "well I guess Kagura really has this whole love thing messed up, first she's positive Kyo is in love with her , and now at the same time she cant tell that you like her, hmmpp?" Shigure placed a hand on his chin. Yuki spun around, Shigure had decided to over act and pretended like he was talking to himself. "And Yuki; liking two girls at once, what a cheater!" Shigure placed one hand on his hip, impersonating a high school girl. Yuki turned towards him, his mop of hair covering his eye's but Shigure could tell if he had seen the expression in Yuki's eye's, his next book would have been a murder mystery. "don't even speak." He turned around on his heal and walked to the kitchen, as Shigure's eye's followed Yuki, the front door opened and Kyo and Tohru came inside, they were also holding hands. Shigure looked at Kyo-Tohru and back at Yuki- Kagura (who were helping Mii to relax but out of view) then looked back, he understood. He'd always thought about it, but then his voice of reason had always told him that she was just a high school girl, but now Kyo and Tohru were together and Yuki was falling for Kagura. Then he thought of something. 'Kagura lost Kyo too.' Shigure stood there his mouth open in the middle of the living room when Tohru came over: still holding Kyo's hand brought his jaw up and said cheerily "close your mouth, or you'll ketch flies!" she let go of Kyo's hand and started off towards the kitchen. Shigure realized it a second to late, "Toru-" As Tohru opened the door and saw Yuki she fainted in the doorway. Kyo was close enough to catch her but as he leapt to her rescue (If she fell she would have hit her head on the table.) but all he succeded in doing was changing her direction slightly, keeping her from hitting her head and changing into an orange cat. Shigure was still to shocked to say anything witty so he just stood there as Yuki, Kagura and Mii gathered around the unconscious Tohru and Kyo.

When Toruh woke up she was remembering her vivid dream: she had kissed Kyo, Broken Yuki's heart, told Kyo her true feelings and then seen Yuki at the worst time and had fainted. She admitted to herself some parts of the dream had been pretty god, like kissing Kyo, but other parts, like most of the parts involving Yuki, weren't very good. Then as she raced her brain she realized it hadn't been a dream; Kyo was her boyfriend and Yuki's heart was broken; and she'd broken it. Tohru sat up rubbing her eye's, she was on the kitchen floor, as she inspected more closely she realized it was the exact spot she had first kissed Kyo. She scanned the room and standing up by the sink putting his cakey pants on over his pink boxers was Kyo. If this had happened 2 days ago Tohru would have screamed and looked away, but considering: A) he was wearing boxers and B) he was now her boyfriend she just giggled. Kyo spun around as he stuck his second leg into his pants. As he noticed her he stumbled and fell over on his face, Tohru giggle even more. Kyo propped himself up on his hands and then swung his legs under him. Kyo looked embarrassed, Tohru wondered if she'd always made him this uncomfortable, then she remembered and the question answered its self, 'yes'. Kyo's ears were almost as red a his hair. Kyo sat on the floor in front of her. "umm…" Tohru crossed her legs underneath herself. She didn't know what to say so she just stood up. Then she held out her hand to Kyo. Kyo took her hand and she helped him up. He stood up and she looked up at him, since the 1 semester Kyo had grown 2 inches taller than her. Kyo still looked embarrassed, Tohru picked up his close and headed to the laundry room, but Kyo came up behind her and said walking next to her. "I think- I think you should talk to the rat." She kept walking forward, almost walking into the wall. Kyo had to know something was wrong if he suggested talking to Yuki.

Chapter 3

Yuki sat in the secret base trying to carve a flower into a potato, but all he succeeded in doing was cutting small slights into his dirty fingers. "Ow, Ow, Ow-" There was a small rustling noise but Yuki didn't look up. 'its probably just a bunny or something.' He thought as he stared at his bleeding fingers. "Yuki?" Yuki dropped the knife. cutting his palm in the process. "Miss Honda." His voice cracked. Tohru came and sat over beside him, he could feel the tension between them. "Yuki, I well." Yuki just stared at his bloody potato. "-I'm sorry." Tohru placed her hand on his. He turned his gaze to the basket. Tohru leaned her head in wards so he had no choice but to look at her. Her big brown eye's were full of sorrow and worry. "I'ts okay." His voice sounded like a 100 year old recording. She sat in front of him holding his hands. "Yuki-" he didn't say anything. He tried to stand up, but Tohru kept him down. "I'm really sorry," she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. She pulled away gently, and he brought her back in. "me too." And then he kissed her on the lips, and she kissed back. (ok your probably like "OMG Tohru wouldn't do that" and I agree. BUT it was a 'goodbye, I'm sorry etc, etc' kiss. So don't hold it against me.)

Kyo walked through the woods feeling pretty high and mighty. He didn't know why he was walking, or were but it just seemed to be something he needed to do. As he walked past a dense area of bush he heard someone say something. He wasn't sure what but he was sure someone was there. 'what the hell…' thought Kyo as he pushed aside some brush. The sight he saw shocked him; there sitting at the edge of a vegetable garden was that damn rat, and Tohru, and to make matters 100 times worst they were kissing! Kyo stormed into the clearing, trampling the leaks as he did so. If the circumstances had been different Kyo would have smirked viciously, but this was no time to celebrate over vegetables. He stood there fuming, then he realized he had no idea what to say so he just stood there. As he stood there Tohru unlocked her lips from Yuki's and noticed him for the first time. Instead of going into a psychotic rant or fainting she just said. "Ky-yo?" the stupid rat looked at him but Kyo couldn't look back at the 'probably' smug look on the damn rats face and he just couldn't hold it back he turned around and leapt through the brush and sped down the path and he could hear Tohru yelling his name over and over again. He ran away from the house. He ran faster and faster zipping down to who knows where. He was thinking of running back to the mountains then he considered drowning himself in the river. As he exited the Sohma property he ran into someone "AHHH!" he landed on top of someone, he blinked, his eyes filled with tears.

Kagura wondered who had run into her. she looked up to see a mop of bright orange hair, it was Kyo, but his eye's were full of tears. "Kyo, why are you crying?" he stood up and so did she he whipped his eye's his the back of his hand. "Ask your damn boy friend." The Kyo kept running the same direction he had been. Kagura stood there wondering what could have happened to make Kyo cry. Then she kept walking towards Shigure's house. A little down the path she saw Tohru, she didn't stop to say hi she just ran down the path her eye's filled with tears. Screaming "KYO!" Kagura just kept walking down the path. Half way down she noticed a dense area of brush with a hole in it so she looked through. There was Yuki sitting in front of a small vegetable garden, Kagura thought it was very cute place. Yuki was sitting there staring at some strawberry plants. Kagura stepped through the hole the brush and walked over to Yuki. He looked up at her and she sat down right next to him. "Yuki… Your right." She turned her head, Yuki seemed confused. "Yuki-" She had closed her eyes and felt something press against her lips. 'Yuki…'
