The air was cool, surprising for such a spring day. Summer was close, close enough that the end off school was on every child's tongue, well every child's except for those of the students at the Sohma house. With the day's events, no one even cared that school existed.
Kyo sat on the roof watching the wind blow through the trees. His mind flickered from one thought to another. Tohru's sickness, Yuki's sickness, the awkward look Shigure flashed as Hatori left Yuki's room, but most importantly about the kiss he stole. Oddly he felt ashamed. He filled with guilt knowing he couldn't control himself. He never expected to have such desires; he never trained to control such things. Perhaps he needed to go out and train again. But what would that solve, if he left Yuki would win. Kyo could picture in his mind Yuki winning her heart if he ever left. Frustrated, Kyo sighed. There was no point in Kyo getting frustrated, he knew that wouldn't help anything, but it was too late.
Inside the house was silent. They only noise was mumbled whispers because everyone was too exhausted to think or speak clearly. This strained peacefulness was shattered by Hatori and Shigure bursting out of Shigure's office. This was enough to startle the children in the kitchen.
"Where's Kyo?" Shigure asked to whomever would answer.
"On the roof" someone answered
"I'm going to the main house" he told Kyo
"What's happened"
"Something's come up, it's alright, just be a good little kittie while I'm gone."
"What did Hatori say?" Kyo insisted
"Everything is alright, so just keep an eye on the house" and with that Shigure left.
Irritated by the lack of information Shigure gave out Kyo wandered back into the house. Apparently Shigure convinced Momiji and the others to follow him and Hatori to the main house for the kitchen was empty. However everyone upstairs was still present. Kyo, decided to check on Tohru, but he didn't want an audience so he chose to simply stand in the hall between Yuki's and Tohru's rooms.
Time flew by quickly until sure enough darkness fell upon the house. A distraught Uotani left Tohru's room followed but Hanajima.
"It's getting pretty late and although we do not want to leave" she paused and sighed, "We have to, We'll stop by in the morning to see how she's doing!"
"And we do hope Yuki-san awakens also." Hanajima added
Kyo nodded their 'goodbyes' as they left, Uotani making another warning threat to Kyo regarding Tohru's safety. Kyo knew he wouldn't try anything else tonight so he didn't think much of Uotani's warning.
Haru on the other hand, had fallen asleep himself. He lay on Yuki's floor, head resting in his folded up arms.
Sleeping in the hall, Kyo decided, was the best bet. Whenever Shigure returned he would be able to find him, but most importantly if anyone woke up, Kyo would be only moments away.
"It's quiet" she thought. As she opened her eyes a pain shot through her veins. She let out a slight moan. "What's going on?" she whispered. Tohru remembered it being dark when she went to bed and it's still dark? Confused but restless, she decided to get up and explore.
She stepped out of her room only to step right on Kyo. She shrieked. Kyo shot up instinctively toppling Tohru over. She fell to the ground with another shriek.
"Tohru?" Kyo whispered with a smile he couldn't hide, helping her up.
"Kyo-san?" she mimicked with the same coy smile.
