Ok . here it is. Chapter 4. I hope every one likes it. I give credit to Alice Kite, my Co-writer. She wrote most of this chapter. Look her up she has awesome stories. All the words with the (*) after and before are hers and the reagular are mine. R and R please.

It has been about two weeks since that dreadful has been eating very little up until a few days ago. *Lately, Yuki has been having hard time trying to get her out of bed and dressed let alone getting her to eat. She refused to speak at all and it worried the rat. He didn't know what to do so he kept trying. Not that he got very far.
"Miss Honda? Is there anything specific you'd like for dinner?" he asked hoping for an answer. No such luck. She continued to stare straight ahead. He'd been lucky to get her to eat at all that day, so now he was pushing his luck. But he needed to get her to answer or Shigure and Kyo would give him hell.
He could already hear them. Shigure would be the drama freak he always is, "Oh what have you done to our precious flower?", and Kyo would try to beat him for it.

"Miss Honda?" he tried again," Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Again she didn't answer. It was that specific moment that Uo and Hana decided to show up.

"Can we talk to you Prince?" Uo asked finally when Tohru wouldn't speak to them.

Yuki looked at the girl sitting next to him on the couch. He figured she'd be okay by herself for a few minutes. "Sure," he said getting up and following the girls out of the room.

"What the hell did you do?" Uo growled shoving him against the closest wall.

"What are you talking about?" Yuki asked surprised by Uo sudden aggressiveness.

"Don't play stupid, what the hell did you do? Why is she ignoring us?" she screamed shoving him against the wall again.

"N-Nothing I swear!" he yelled when he realized what she was talking about.

"You expect me to believe that crap?" Uo growled.

"Do you remember that news report from the other day? About the girl who found another girl dead? That was Tohru! I swear I didn't do anything!" Yuki cried almost speed talking.

"He's telling the truth," Hana said from behind Uo. The Yankee looked back and let Yuki down when Hana nodded.

"Sorry, it's just that we don't want anything to happen to her ya know?" Uo whispered.

"I understand Miss Uotani, I just don't know what to do to help her," Yuki said looking down ashamed.

"Make her see that life goes on. Show her that she needs to live," Hana said.

"How the hell can he do that?" Uo said turning to Hana and giving her a look.

"No, I think I know how to do that," Yuki said looking up with light in his eyes.

"Well then you take care of her ya here me? Or Kyon is gonna be the least of your worries," uo said looking back at him before the she and Hana left.*

*Challenge #1: getting her to talk.

He walked out to the living room a plan already forming in his mind. All he needed to do was make her want to talk, or have to…. Not that he wanted the latter, but if need be he would use it and it seemed he need to. She wasn't going to talk willingly.
"Miss Honda, I'm," was this really what he needed to say? Yes, yes it was. "If you won't talk then I can't do anything for you anymore. I can't talk to you, and I can't help you anymore." He said walking through the living room and to the stairs.
"Why? Why did she have to die?" Tohru's voice floated over to his ears and he smiled before putting a concerned look on his face and turning back to her. "I can't answer that, I don't think anyone can," he said softly sitting next to her on the couch. "It's not fair!" she cried standing and stomping her foot. "It's just not fair…" Then she buried her head in her hands and, crying, sank back to the couch. He placed a hand on her back and she leaned into his side.
That was definitely a start.*

Challenge #2: Getting her to eat.

"Miss Honda-", He tried again," would you like something to eat?" Tohru shook her head. "Please Miss Honda. You haven't eaten in days. You need to eat something." She didn't answer meaning "no". "Please." Yuki pleaded. "For me?"
Tohru looked up at him. "Alright…." She said quietly. Yuki smiled. "Is there anything particular you would like?" She shook her head again. Yuki sighed. "Alright." He said as he got up.
He was about to walk to the kitchen when he stopped. That hand. Yuki looked back and saw Tohru staring up at him with pleading eyes. That's another thing he noticed. She had been becoming afraid of things she wasn't afraid of before. It's rather strange.
*"Miss Honda? What is it?" Yuki said turning back to her and dropping to his knees in front of her. He took both her hands in his and looked straight in her eyes.
"I -" at that moment they heard the front for slam.
'What the hell?' Yuki thought as he heard a crack of thunder. 'Maybe trying to get out of the storm?' he thought as he saw a flash of lightning.
He stood and took a few steps toward the door. Tohru, who was terrified, grabbed his hand as he stopped. She felt his thumb run over the back of her hand to calm her, as their guest entered.
He dressed in a black trench coat and from what Yuki could tell, the rest of the man's clothes were black too.
"Who are-" Yuki started.
"Your worst nightmare," the man said with a cruel grin. That was when Yuki saw the pocket knife. It had a slight glint to it. 'We're screwed...' Yuki thought as he lost consciousness.*

There you have it. Who do you think this mysterious man is? If you think you know, you can tell us in a review. Next chapter will be up soon. Promise!
Until next time.
