Chapter 13 - Questions

Tohru scanned the croud once more, sure enough someone with orange hair was on this boat. Tohru hoped with all her might that it was Kyo. Her heart thumped and her heart raced hoping to find the boy of her dreams. She didn't care for manners anymore, she began shoving people aside, pushing and throwing trying to find this man. Once she reached the spot he had moved. Tohru began to run around the deck. When she reached the left side of the deck she turned around and saw the man again. The man turned around to face her. His red eyes shot sparks at her. She was silent for a moment, her heart thumping against her chest and beads of sweat on her brow. He slowly began to walk towards Tohru and she did the same, soon they began to jog, then run. Tohru could see his eyes; it was Kyo.

"KYO! Oh my god!-" she was cut off by Kyo burrying her head into his chest. "Kyo, oh my god it's you!" Tears of joy spilled over Tohru's cheeks and onto Kyo's shirt. Kyo began to do the same, he was finally with his love again. "I'm so glad you're alive!" a croud began to gather around the couple as they shared many kisses, hugs and tears. Kyo leaned in and gave Tohru three fast but meaningful kisses. Machi slowly walked up and smiled. She tapped Kyo on the shoulder.

"What about Yuki? Is he alright?" Machi asked. Kyo stood silent and looked at the ground. He flashed back to him getting onto a lifeboat:

I could see the light, I thought I was dying, but it was the light of a lifeboat.

"I see him!Grab him pull him up! Pull them both up!" the sailor had demanded. Kyo was wrapped in many blankets and so was Yuki. Yuki however didn't move. Kyo stood silent shaking from the cold and staring at Yuki not moving on the groud.

As soon as they had reached the ship in the morning, Yuki was taken to the doctor's ward, and Kyo hadn't heard anything since.

"I don't know." he simply said. Machi had tears welling in her eyes, Tohru got her love, but she didn't get hers. The emergancy proffesionals walked onto the deck.

"We are looked for Tohru Honda, Kyo Sohma and Machi Kuragi" said one man. The three follwed him. He held opened the door while the three entered the small room and saw Yuki lying on the bed. Machi began to sob. Yuki eyes twitched and they slowly opened. Everyone's heart stopped. "He is still very cold for his state, and why don't know how much longer he has, so be gentle and don't try to overwhelm him." the doctor said as he closed the door to give them space. Yuki sat up and looked at Machi who had tears spilling over her cheeks, a hundred per second. He extended his arms. Machi ignored the docters orders and jumped into his arms wrapping hers around his chest.

"Yuki, I'm so glad you're ok! I missed you so much!" she said in a harsh whisper. Yuki hugged her back and petted her head.

"I'm not officialy better." he said. The three gave him a serious look. My blood is very thin and I'm still very cold, they don't know if I will make it..." he said trailing off. Machi's tears moved faster and faster as Yuki spoke. "I'm sure I'll be fine." he said looking through his window.

Now that they all knew that everyone was safe (at least for now) they could finally think about what had happened. They all flashed back to the Titanic's final moments before it went under and sunk into the great blue sea. Poor Titanic, known as an 'unsinkable' ship, yet went down on her first trip. Tohru closed her eyes. It was hard to imagine that 24 hours ago, she was still happy, holding hands and having a great time talking with Yuki, Kyo and Machi, unaware at what was going to happen just a few hours later. Tohru glanced around the room. All these people were safe. Her eyes bolted upright. Where was Margret? Was she ok? Did she live? Tohru took a step back.

"Tohru, everything ok?" Kyo asked. Machi and Yuki turned awa from eachother and looked at the couple. Tohru looked up and Kyo then at Machi and Yuki.

"Machi, watch over Yuki!" Tohru said, then she dashed out of the room. Kyo stood there for a moment then followed. Tohru ran as fast as she could through the swarms of people and onto the deck. She pulled out her pocket watch: 8:50am. She looked around the deck. The crew said that they had picked up all the boats that Titanic had claimed that they sent out. Tohru dashed around, then she saw Molly Brown, she was on the boat with Margret. She dashed up and tapped her on the shoulder. Kyo ran up as well panting from all the running her had to do.

"Excuse me, do you know a little girl named Margret?" Molly stood silent, she didn't move she didn't talk for a while. Then slowly she nodded. "Where is she?" Tohru asked anxious. Tohru could see tears welling in her eyes.

"She didn't make it." Molly said. Tohru shot aback. 'What does she mean?' Tohru asked herself. "She didn't survive." Tohru began to let the tears flow down her cheeks. Flash backs of her saving Margret, fixing her hair, sleeping with her, waving goodbye, flashed through her mind. Kyo wrapped his arms around Tohru. "When we were on the boat, she sat back against me and whispered 'I can't take this anymore.' then she stopped talking...forever..." Molly snuffled. Tohru held a hand to her mouth unable to control her emotions. "When we got onto the ship she was taken to the docters, who called her dead. She got too cold that's all." Molly turned away. "I'm sorry I can't say anymore." Molly turned away and left sobbing now. Tohru turned to Kyo.

"No..." she whispered. "No...no-not the little girl that we saved." Tohru began to cry, tears rolled down her cheeks. "Our Margret...is gone? I promised her, I said everything was going to be alright!"

I'll see you soon! I love you!

The last words Margret ever said rang through Tohru's head like a gong.

"I told her, that I'd see her soon! No!" Tohru said burying her face into Kyo's shirt. Kyo was still shocked. The little girl that was just like Tohru, was gone from the world forever. He finally placed hs arms around her waist and hugged her close. The images of Margret and her doll flashed through Tohru's mind, her sweet little voice, the voice that she loved so much...gone. Tohru looked up to the sky in awe. She let the tears flow down her face, she wasn't going to hold them back. She tried so hard to be strong for Margret, telling her wishes and hugging her.

MUMMY!

Tohru couldn't believe that the little girl that called her 'mummy' was now gone from the world. Tohru felt hazy and suddenly.

Everything went white.

:'( so sad...
