A/N: Eeps! I had can't believe I didn't even start this! I have a couple different reasons why I didn't but I don't want to play the 'pity me' game so I am just going to say I've been distracted with another story which is true to a point.. It always seem to take me forever to update even if it's only two days. Grr…I hate my slowness…

"I'm curious, Kyo," Hatori stared intently at the cat. "Why did you want Yuki to visit you? You two haven't exactly gotten along over the years." Kyo frowned at the reminder of how he and Yuki always fought but Kyo kept his eyes shut in the hopes that Hatori would think he was sleeping and leave him alone.

"I know you're not sleeping." Well, shoot! Kyo's eyes snapped open. He gave the doctor an exasperated gaze and remaining silent.

"So, why did you suddenly crave Yuki's company?" It was obvious that Hatori wouldn't let him sleep until he got a satisfactory answer. Kyo made a shrugging motion that looked awkward since he still had several wires attached to him.

"I needed to tell him something," Kyo frowned as he realized that while that statement was true, he had never actually told Yuki that-that…What was it that he was going to tell Yuki? He couldn't quite remember. It was something about…

"What did you want to tell him?" Hatori's question scattered Kyo's thoughts just as he had finally collected them. It was like his thoughts were water and he had just formed them into a solid sheet of ice when Hatori caused the thoughts to drop and shatter on the hard tiled floor. If only his thoughts would melt so he could reform them. Maybe they'd turn into clouds.

"Kyo?" Hatori called back Kyo's attention.

"Huh?"

"What did you have to tell Yuki?" Hatori patiently reminded Kyo of their conversation.

"Something about….clouds?" Kyo said this as if it was a question. Hatori just sadly shook his head as he finally faced the fact that he'd get no answers out of Kyo when he was in this condition. He stood and left Kyo who was sill trying to recall the important message to Yuki.

Finally he remembered, but Kyo knew he was only going to forget it again. Kyo frantically searched the bedside table for something to write on and something to write with. He found a small notepad and pen and urgently wrote 'To Yuki'. Now, what was the message?

Oh, right. He scribble down the words and ripped the page out of it's binding. He stared at the writing until he was satisfied and gripped it tightly in his hand. At last, he allowed himself to drift off to sleep.

Yuki got ready for school with an ache in his heart. Confessing to Tohru had made him feel not so alone but at the same time it was nerve-wracking having someone know his secret. He looked over at Tohru who smiled and he realized what a fool he was being. Of all the people to confide in, Tohru was the most understanding and caring. Things would be a lot easier having someone to turn to through his bumpy journey of facing his feelings for Kyo.

Tohru set out a plate for Shigure who was still sleeping before heading off. Yuki and Tohru had both woken up early so they could visit Kyo before going to school. While Yuki was dying for sleep and felt completely drained, he also glowed at the thought of seeing Kyo again.

Arriving at the hospital, Yuki led Tohru through the weaving hallways. A nurse stepped forward and kindly reminded them that only one visitor at a time could enter the room. Tohru kindly waited out in the hallway to allow Yuki to visit with Kyo first.

Kyo was sleeping when Yuki entered the room and Yuki didn't have the heart to wake him. Heck, Yuki was about to fall asleep himself. He walked closer and smiled down at the cat. Then a piece of paper in Kyo's hand caught his gaze. Only a corner of it was sticking out from Kyo's palm and even though Yuki knew he shouldn't, he couldn't resist trying to read it. He leaned closer and barely made out the words 'To Yuki'.

Well, the note is addressed to me, Yuki thought as he tried to weasel the note out of Kyo's grip. He nearly had full grasp of the paper but Kyo determinedly clung on to the last bit. Finally the paper ripped and Yuki gazed curiously at the message. It read: 'To Yuk' and 'hate you'. because of the tear in it. The rest was still in Kyo's hand but Yuki didn't really need that to know what the entire note read. Kyo was trying to remind Yuki that he hated him. The whole kiss scene really had been an accident, a horrible soul-crushing accident. If that's the way Kyo felt, fine. Yuki would hate him back ten times worse than he had originally. Yuki stormed out of the room and barely glanced back as he flew by Tohru.

"If you want to visit the damn cat, then fine, but I'm out of here," he shot over his shoulder. Behind him Tohru hesitated. Glancing in the room, Tohru could see that Kyo was sleeping so Tohru decided to come back later. Yuki needed her more right now that he did.

Kyo stretched his eyes open. By the light streaming through the window, Kyo guessed it was about midday. Yuki and Tohru would be in class and Shigure would be…well, who the hell cares where that dog spends his time. As long as the dog wasn't bothering him, he couldn't care less. Kyo barely remembered his time in the hospital. He had some distant memory of Yuki visiting him but that was all. Kyo moved his hand to brush the hair out of his face only to find a shred of paper in it.

'I don't' it read. I don't what?

A/N: That was pathetically short. But as I said before, I've been distracted lately. Anyway, if you liked this small chapter, tell me so in a review. If you didn't like it, tell me so in a review. In other words, I like reviews no matter what kind they are. You can even go ahead and yell at me for taking so long to write such a short chapter. Or maybe it wasn't that long…It felt like forever to me but that's because I've had stuff to deal with, like I said before. Anyway…Peace and huggles to all. Extra to those who review and/or have reviewed in the past.
