Yuki sat in his room. Alone he hid, his heart broke and his mind self-conscious. What if she found me like this? What would I do then? He thought to himself. I love Tohru. I can't keep lying to myself, but I'm supposed to love Matchi. What on Earth is wrong with me?

A tear drop makes its way down his face, creating an unpredictable path. Then Kyo walks in. Perfect. As soon as I start to cry, Kyo decides to say farewell.

"Aren't you going to say good-bye to Tohru?" Kyo asked.

"Yes. I will. I was about to change into a suitable outfit," Yuki said as he wiped his eyes.

"Are you….. Crying?" Kyo asked.

"N-no..." Yuki said. "Just go. I'll be out soon."

"Alright," Kyo said, and walked out the door.

Tohru stood in the hallway. Kyo embraced her and whispered "I love you," then nibbled at her ear.

Tohru smiled, and then Yuki walked out, in a more formal outfit. "Tohru-kun," Yuki smiled, hiding the true pain he felt so Tohru would not be sad when she left.

Tohru pulled away from Kyo. Her gaze met Yuki's and a more respectful smile washed over her face. "Yes Yuki-san?"

"Keep Kyo-san out of trouble."

Tohru laughed. "I will," she said.

"We're going to miss you, Tohru-kun," Yuki said, and hugged her.

"I will miss you too, and though Kyo won't admit it I know he will too."

"I won't miss that damn rat…" Kyo muttered.

Tohru turns to Kyo, "Yes you will dear," she says, and then turns back to Yuki.

"Things are going to be much different here," Yuki says.

A tear falls from Tohru's eye, which embraces her cheek as it slowly trickles down her face.

"Tohru-kun!" Yuki exclaims.

Tohru wiped her eyes. "I'm fine; I'm just going to miss you so much,"

"Tohru-kun, it's not like this is going to be the last time we see each other," Yuki said sympathetically, and hugged Tohru close.

"Tohru-san and Kyo-san, your ride is here!" Shigure called.

"Good-bye Yuki-san," Tohru said, pulling away from him.

Yuki watched Tohru walk away. As soon as she was out of eye shot, his eyes swelled up in tears. No. You can't love Tohru. She's just your friend. She loves Kyo. God I hate that damn cat. Yuki thinks to himself.
