~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tohru looked out her window. The Autumn Festival was still in full bloom, and beautiful. Her eyes dazzled at the sparkling lights. Then she remembered the moment she and Kyo had together. She started randomly blushing.

Dinner was very akward that night. Yuki kept on staring at her and Kyo. Shigure kept silent, thinking in guilt what was to happen to Kyo. Tohru, slowly eating her rice, attempted to break the silence.

Tohru: So, watch any good anime lately? ^^

Kyo, Yuki, Shigure didn't pay attention. It again was silent. Tohru blushed as she nibbled a grain of rice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tohru: Alright! The square root of 392... ehh..

Tohru sat next to her desk, textbooks everywhere. She pushed her bangs back in stress.

Tohru: Urgg.. I hate math..

She started banging her head gently with her pencil.

Kyo: Don't hurt yourself.

Tohru fell backwards off her chair. She looked up from the ground at Kyo. Walking away from the doorway, he held out a hand to her. She slowly accepted it and he rose her up.

Kyo: Your a real ditz, you know that?

Tohru*looking/down blushing*: S-sorry. I'm just stressed over this math homework.

Kyo sighed.

Kyo: I told you, your gonna get yourself a damn fever if you keep this up.

Kyo gently turned Tohru around and walked her next to the window. He placed her hand on the window, then gently placed his own ontop. Tohru blushed madly. Kyo stood behind her, trying not to transform, his arms on the side of hers, then their hands ontop of another.

Kyo: Now, take a deep breath.

Tohru closed her eyes and did as she was told.

Kyo: Now, think of something nice.

Tohru opened a eye as she thought.

Tohru: Hmm.. onigiris?

Kyo: Something BESIDES that..

Tohru closed her eyes again.

Tohru: You here by my side... comforting me...

Kyo blushed and quickly took his hands off hers. He backed away.

Kyo: Hmph, don't be stupid.

Tohru: No really. Thank you, Kyo. I'm feeling much better.

Kyo smiles.

Kyo puts his hand ontop of her head. Tohru looks up at him, her cheeks turning redder and redder.

Kyo: Just don't push yourself.

With that, he walked out of her room.

Tohru stood in that same spot, not moving at all. She then walked over to her bed and let her self fall on it's soft surface.

Why am I having these feelings?

Why am I going through all these emotions?

Did.. Am I in love with Kyo?

She cluthched her pillow and thought of her mom.

It's just.. whenever you hurt, I'll be hurt. You can't handle everything by yourself. And don't worry.. I-I'll be here.. to protect you..

Tohru slowly mouthed her words.

*..Their hands touched...*

" I am... I am in love... with him."

Tears started slowly forming and falling down her cheeks.

Kyo was outside her room, leaning aganist her door, a hand to his heart. He started crying too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*knock knock*

Shigure walked to the door, Yuki watching him from the doorway. Outside stood Hatori and Kagura, a sad/serious look on their faces. Kyo and Tohru walked

Shigure: Oh, Hari! I-

Hatori: It's time.

Kyo gasped. He looked down, thinking about all the moment Tohru spent with him.

Kyo: No.. It can't end like this.

Kyo quickly ran through the backdoor.

Tohru: K-Kyo?

Yuki and Shigure looked down.

Tohru: Yuki?! Shigure?! What's going on?! What's the matter with Kyo?!

Yuki: Ms.Honda... Kyo's going to have to be put away... fo-

Tohru: ALREADY?! BUT WE HAVEN'T EVEN GRADUATED! AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

Yuki stood there shocked.

Kagura: It's... It's Akito's decision.

Tohru started crying and ran up to Shigure.

Tohru: SHIGURE! Can't we do anything?! Tell me you can do something!!

Shigure: I- I wish I could.

Tohru stood there.. frozen. The sound of rain and thunder suddenly came from outside.

Tohru looked out the backdoor, into the forest where Kyo had hid in. She started running after him.

Shigure: Well, that could've gone better.

Yuki still stood there, eyes widened.

Hatori: C'mon , Kagura. We'd better go after them...

*Kagura and Hatori walk into the forest.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kyo: All I wanted to tell you is I love you...

I wanted us to stay together...

I wanted us to cry together..

I can't even have my one wish.. of staying with the person I care for...

Just that one thing... that one wish
