Ok, I'm updating today. I'm getting rather frustrated with myself and my writing though. This chapter I like, but several others that I've been trying to revise just refuse to get better. Bah... O well. Thanks again for the reviewers, even though I've already thanked you once in the replies I sent you. I love you guys. You make this frustration worth it. :) So, thanks again, and I hope you like it. If you have any suggestions on making this better...or where you'd like this to go maybe... I'd be happy to hear it.

Chapter 7
Everyone was ecstatic as they entered the house. Akito was going home. Apparently the main house had called, and he was needed at the there. Now everyone would be able to spend the last few days of vacation with Tohru, helping her get better.
Upon hearing the news from the next room, Kyo decided to head to the roof, his favorite spot no matter where he was. Lying down on the shingles, he stared at the clouds drifting lazily by. ‘Why do I still want to be close to her? She doesn’t want me. Not like I want her. She wants Yuki, and I said I wouldn’t interfere. I won’t. Yuki is here now, and he isn’t going to go see Akito everyday, so he can take care of her. She’ll be happier if it’s him. I can’t do anything right anyway. She didn’t even want to eat all of my soup today. She probably hates me. Well, maybe not hate. I’m sure she doesn’t like me. Why should she? All I ever do is yell at her. She has every right to hate me.’ His thoughts continued like this for a while, but soon his thoughts turned to other issues. ‘What was she doing way out there in the woods anyway? We searched for hours before we found her. How the heck did she get herself that lost? Why didn’t Yuki go with her? Maybe she doesn’t love him? No, I saw her kiss him. She definitely loves him. Then maybe…no he definitely loves her too. Any idiot can see that. Maybe they had a fight?’ His spirits rose at the thought, then quickly fell as he admonished himself. ‘Fool, you shouldn’t be happy that they had a fight. She was obviously upset about it, or else she wouldn’t have run off and gotten herself hurt by Akito. Maybe I can help them. I mean, I did say I wasn’t going to get in their way. If I help keep them together then I’m definitely not getting in the way. And she’ll be happy, because she’ll be with that damn rat. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do.’ He sat up in triumph at his plan, despite the fact that it saddened him to know that he was willfully going to give up trying to win Tohru’s heart.
As Kyo was making his big decision on the roof, Yuki was sitting next to Tohru, watching over her as she took another nap. Everyone else had either gone back outside or to their rooms. Yuki watched Tohru dream, fascinated by her small chest rising and falling. The scene was almost exactly as it had been that morning, with Yuki replacing Kyo. Tohru’s nightmare from before came back to haunt her, replaying itself in her head in all of its gruesome glory. This time however, Yuki was there when she woke, shaking in fear.
“Honda-san! What’s wrong?” Yuki exclaimed, worry apparent on his face as he jumped up to comfort her.
“Oh, Yuki-kun. It’s nothing, just a bad dream. Nothing for you to worry about,” Tohru replied, lying back to stop the throbbing in her head and to disguise her fear as sleepiness.
“Are you sure? You looked pretty upset when you woke up. Do you want to talk about it?” Yuki asked, concern still evident in his voice.
“Yes, Yuki-kun, I’m sure. It was just a dream. A scary dream yes, but only a dream.” She continued to tell herself this as she drifted off to sleep again, attempting to ease her fears about the recurring nightmare.
Hatori entered the room shortly after she had gone to sleep again and sat himself beside Yuki. “How is she doing, Yuki?”
“She seems all right, but she just had a nightmare. She looked like she was scared to death, but she doesn’t want to talk about it,” Yuki said quietly.
“I wonder what she was dreaming about,” Hatori murmured, and then louder to Yuki, “Do you think she could have been dreaming about something that happened yesterday?”
Yuki thought for a bit then said, “I guess it’s possible. After all, we don’t know what exactly Akito did to her, other than rough her up a bit.”
“Did anything else happen yesterday?” Hatori asked, trying not to act as if he was prying, though he knew that was exactly what he was doing. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, he was beginning to become quite curious about what happened in the woods between the three teens. Shigure must be rubbing off on him.
“It really could have been a dream about anything. And stop prying. You’re becoming as bad as Shigure,” Yuki calmly said, neatly avoiding the question.
The two sat in silence for some time before Hatori finally stood to leave. “Yuki, I’m sure I don’t need to say this, but if anything changes with her condition, come get me immediately.” With that, he left the room, leaving Yuki alone with Tohru once more.
