Author�s Note: Dear
god it hurts, I had to actually use math and search and look things up to make
sure my plot worked. Ahhh, it
hurts! Anyway I�m sorry this took so
long to get out but I kinda had a death in the family. And I have an explanation (sorry). Kanji is Chinese symbols used for words or
meanings. They can have more then one
meaning and the Japanese use Kanji as much as they use their own alphabets. But each symbol has it�s own meaning so
there are hundreds of thousands of symbols and it�s not uncommon for even
scholarly people in Japan to have kanji dictionaries. I just wanted to explain for anyone who didn�t know that like my
friends that yelled at me when they got confused. Also, miko = priestess.
You wanna see what one looks like try to find a pic of Kikyo off Inu
Yasha. Also sorry there is no Kyo or
Tohru in this. Sorry! But the last like two chapters have been focused
mainly on them and wanted to get some plot going soon. Don�t worry much more to come. But anyway I want to dedicate this next
chapter to my BF who inspired me and continues to inspire me on so many
levels.

Chapter
13: �Recovery and Discovery�

Kagura
rolled over and saw a red blur before blinking away sleep to see 1:55 plastered
on the clock in the room. She groaned
debating whether or not it was that important before finally dragging her limbs
up and groggily making her way out of bed.
She stumbled in the doorway but caught herself on the frame and pulled
herself to a standing position and sighed in relief as she finally made it to
the bathroom and turned on the light.
The cold seat gave her a bit more of a wake up as she sat down. The house felt kind of empty with everyone
gone. Kyo had promised to sleep at the
hospital each night and go to school from there and come home for a few hours
before going back to the hospital. But
then again she didn�t blame him; he was head over heels in love and worried
about her. He actually seemed to be
even more protective then before now that Tohru was pregnant. She would be out soon enough though, it had
been three days since she was released and Tohru was doing much better.

She
washed her hands and turned out the light before stumbling back to her
room. And Shigure had started staying
at the main house trying to help Akito figure all of this out. Last night they had supposedly found some
kind of lead and were going to be pulling a few all-nighters. With her and Yuki being the only ones in the
house she thought it would give them a lot more time together but recently it
seemed like he was avoiding her. He
only seemed to talk with her when they ate meals together. She was even getting used to the taste of
his burnt cooking but it wasn�t lightening the mood any.

She
lay back in bed and stared at the clock waiting for the drowsiness to return
and take her. Staring at the ceiling
she began wondering what could have happened to make Yuki so distant and try to
avoid her. �Is it because he�s afraid
he�ll hurt me? Is it because he�s
afraid of Akito?� She rolled back over
to see the clock now read 3:17 and groaned.
She gasped in surprise as she suddenly felt a weight on the bed towards
her back.

�Kagura?� She rolled over to meet Yuki�s face.

�Yun-kun,
what are you doing here?�

�I
heard you groan and thought you might be in pain.� Her eyes met his and she saw real concern and pain hidden in
those eyes. �Yun-kun, what�s
wrong? Why? Why are you avoiding me?�

�Kagura?� She was snapped from her revelations as his
fingers gently brushed away the tear she had let slip without knowing. �Kagura, what�s wrong?� She wrapped her arms around his waist and
felt the tears slowly soaking the front of Yuki�s nightshirt.

�Why?�

�Huh?�

�Why
are you avoiding me? What did I
do? Yun-kun.� She sobbed looking up to meet his eyes before he turned his face
away. �I�m sorry.�

�Kagura,
why are you sorry?� He put his hands on
her shoulders and pried her away from his chest to meet her teary eyes.

�For
whatever I did to make you avoid me like this.
I�m sorry for whatever I did I-� Yuki cut her off as his lips captured
hers.

�I�m
the one who should be sorry. Kagura you
did nothing wrong, I guess I�m just scared and not thinking about you.�

�Scared?� He wiped another stray tear as it started
its descent down her cheek.

�Well
yeah, the whole thing was like a kick in the stomach. All of a sudden you come busting through the door and go
unconscious and then the hospital and Akito indifferent about the whole
situation after the steam he blew and-� He was silenced by her finger on his
lips.

�I
get it. But why were you scared of
me? Or scared to be near me?�

�I
was more scared of myself.�

�Yun-kun?�

�I
know that doesn�t make sense but it feels like it�s my fault. I mean Haru would never have attacked you or
told Akito if he didn�t have a crush on me.
And what if he tries again. Even
if he understands the situation if he went black again it wouldn�t matter.�

�Yun-kun
that makes no sense. For one your
blaming yourself for something you couldn�t control, that�s like apologizing
for making it rain. And you can�t help
it if Haru is in love with you; you never really can help you fall in love
with, ne? And don�t worry about a
repeat of what happened, if he tries it again I�ll kick his ass!� She leaned forward for a quick kiss. Yuki smiled and leaned forward for another
kiss and her lips met his half way. Her
tongue darted out to lick pleading for entrance that he did not deny her. Her tongue darted into his mouth to taste it
for the first time in days. She tried
to lean back pulling him on top of her, but winced in pain.

�Kagura?�

�I�m
fine Yun-kun.� He gave her a stern look
that clearly said �don�t take me for an idiot.�

�Kagura
you need to rest up. Anyway Hatori did
mention you could probably stay a bit longer after you heal.�

�I
know,� she said but started pouting.
�But when are we going to be alone like this again?� He couldn�t help but smile. �She�s so cute when she pouts.�

�Whenever
you want, just say the word.�

�What
are you talking about,� she said with a confused look that made him want to
laugh. �She really is cute.�

�Well
I could always call Shigure�s editor over promising a manuscript and Shigure
would leave in a hurry. And then I
could always threaten Kyo with inviting Tohru�s friends over for the night.� He felt himself blush as she began giggly
madly.

�I
know I know, but I just- I don�t know.
I feel like we should do something special in this unnatural phenomena
where we get the house alone together without having to threaten or scare away
people.� Her cheeks were tinted a rosy
color from giggling that made him lean over and plant a kiss on each of
them.

�I
can think of something,� he said with a somewhat mysterious smirk that made her
blush.

�I
thought you said you wanted me to heal?�

�Not
that,� he said with the smirk still on his face. �Just grab your blanket and get up.�

�Where
are we going at 3:30 in the morning,� she asked but still got to her feet with
her blanket wrapped loosely around her shoulders. He knelt down in front of her.

�Get
on.�

�Nani,�
she asked disbelievingly. �You want me
to get on your back?�

�Well
you still need to rest and shouldn�t be walking around. So hop on.�
She felt a blush coming full force again but climbed on his back and
secured her arms around his neck area before he got up and started heading
downstairs. As Yuki descended the
stairs she noticed the temperature got a bit cooler. Even though she had a blanket she slept with it out of habit more
then need. It was around 60 as the
Indian summer they were having was dwindling down. Yuki quietly walked through the sliding door with Kagura latched
onto him. Neither one talked but it was
a comfortable silence as they were happy being in each other�s presence. Kagura leaned her head on Yuki�s back and
heard his heart beating even through his nightshirt. Ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum.
She listened as his was a little faster then her own. But every three beats their hearts would
beat together. �It�s funny what you
think of when you�re out in the woods at night and tired,� she thought just as
darkness took her.

Kagura
awakened as a slight nudging at her elbow that continued to annoyingly tickle
her until she woke up. It took her
sleep-deprived brain a moment to recall what she had been doing last time she
was awake. She felt the tickling again
and looked over to see Yuki smiling at her and blushed at the realization she
had been just sitting there dazed for a few minutes.

�S-so
are we there,� she asked finally taking a look around and seeing that they were
in Yuki�s �Secret Base.�

�Yep.� He pulled the blanket up around her and let
his arm slide around her as well to pull her closer to him. She blushed and leaned her head on his
shoulder.

�But,
why are we here.� He made a shushing
noise and put a finger to her lips before pointing out above the garden a
bit. She looked up and was surprised to
find they were under a canopy of fireflies.

�They�re
tons of them since it�s still hot out this late in the year,� Yuki whispered to
her quietly staring at nature�s softly glowing present to humanity. Kagura was awe stricken and leaned forward
when one blinked right in front of her face.
Kagura held her hand out and a second later felt something land before a
small glowing light lit up part of her hand.
Yuki slowly held out his hand next to Kagura�s taking the ends of her
fingers in his own and soon after felt something on his as well. The firefly from Kagura�s hand had crawled
over to his and was blinking a lot faster for some reason before another glow
started radiating from Kagura�s hand again before they both blinked out and
appeared again in a second a few feet above the two.

�Arigato
Yun-kun. This is so amazing.�

�Of
course it is this place is very special.
This is where you and I first came to each other.� Kagura blushed at how casually he talked
about it. �Yun-kun has really changed a
lot in the months. So much is the same
when he�s around others. But when it�s
just me and him, he�s much more mature then me even though I�m his senior.�

�I
love you Yun-kun,� she said covering his hand in her own. His hand slowly turned and enveloped her
tiny one as he leaned down for a kiss.

�I
love you too,� he whispered in her ear before leaning his head on top of hers
resting on his shoulder and their bodies leaned back against a tree. The fireflies soon disappeared, probably for
good until spring and soon after the stars started blinking out making way for
the sun. But the stars would be back
tomorrow, the fireflies may leave but the stars are always there.

The
light from the clock read 6:36 as Shigure once again whined. �Ha-san this isn�t fair. I haven�t gotten more then three hours sleep
in the last three days. Couldn�t we
just get some sleep and have a fresh start say tomorrow afternoon or even
better tomorrow night?�

�Becoming
a writer has made you a bit lazier hasn�t it?�

�Come
on Hatori, you actually have me doing math over here! Math! I am a writer, I
became a writer because I want nothing to do with math unless it�s about
selling books!�

�Well
then if you�re a writer why don�t you try deciphering this old Chinese Kanji or
old style of Japanese dialog to help us out?�

�Oh
well at least its basic math.� Shigure
continued his incoherent mumblings and whinings as Hatori searched his Kanji
dictionary for a certain symbol that had him stumped and promptly threw it down
on the desk when he couldn�t decipher it.

�Having
trouble,� asked Akito in a very serious tone.
Hatori and Shigure turned to him as he brought in two more very old
dusty and large books. Someone came in
quietly behind him dressed in Miko garbs and had a staff with her.

�This
is the priestess Kagome from the moonrise shrine, I have enlisted her help and
she has agreed to have her memory erased afterwards.�

�So
she already knows,� asked Hatori picking up his dictionary.

�Well
that will speed it up, are you any good at math,� asked Shigure speaking up
before adding. �Then again a beautiful
flower as yourself would need no such things as math for you care only for the
spiritual world not the material.
Speaking of which, do you have any material under-� He was cut short by
Hatori hitting him on the head with the dictionary. As he did this he noticed his watch and quickly excused himself.

�Where
are you going ha-san? Hot date,� asked
Shigure in a teasing manner. He sweat
dropped before answering.

�Actually
I was going to get changed before going to the hospital. They are going to do an examination of Tohru
today to check her progress. Since Kyo
can�t be there I promised I would be.�

�Get
back soon. Priestess Kagome cannot help
us very long as she does not wish to forget long periods of time once we erase
her memory,� said Akito once again astonishing everyone with such power he
always used in hatred was now being used for a different purpose. �Well then again if this works out he could
actually gain a life. He didn�t believe
in Tohru before but now that he�s seen proof�� He looked at his watch again
before turning to leave.

Hatori
stepped out of the room to look for a place to smoke. He had just been with Tohru through the tests and she was doing
fine. They would probably take the tube
out that evening and keep her there another day or so to make sure there
weren�t any complications. He had this
weird feeling in the back of his mind though.
Like he should be looking for something, or someone-.

�Sohma-san,�
called a woman from behind him. He
turned to see her again. The
woman who had been Tohru�s nurse. �It�s
good to see you again. I just missed
Honda-san�s tests, how did they go?�

�They
went very well, she should have the tube out sometime tonight.�

�That�s
wonderful,� she said clutching a small box to her chest that moved a bit.

�Nani?� He took a step forward and the box shook
again as a small brown kitten hopped out and fell into Hatori�s arms causing
him to drop the book he had brought from the main house to read while he was
waiting.

�Gomen
nasai!� She hastily took the kitten
from his arms and put it back in the box and covered it. �Please don�t tell,� she asked looking very
fearful. �I know we�re not allowed to
have pets in certain areas like these but Tohru likes cats so much and my cat
just had kittens not too long ago and I just wanted to bring one to show her to
cheer her up. Please don�t tell. I�m so sorry,� she said and leaned down to
pick up his book.�

�It�s
ok. Just make sure to be careful around
Tohru with it while she still has the tube.�

�Hai,�
she said very enthusiastically and held out the book to give to him before
reading the cover.

�Old
Chinese/Japanese mythology?� She
flipped the first few pages and grimaced.
�Even I would have some trouble with these. She turned to the marked page where the character that had
stumped Hatori was and studied some of the kanji.

�What
do you mean even you would have trouble?�

�Oh
well my family is really big into our ancestral line and my grandmother taught
me some of her old texts and I kind of got into them and studied a bit more
when I went to college. I�m sorry I
must be rambling on.�

�No,
no, I find it quite interesting.� She
blushed a light crimson. �Actually I
was having trouble with this particular character,� he said pointing to the one
that had him stopped in his tracks.

�Yeah
I know, with mythology there is so much stuff made up so suddenly they create
some kanji you never see or hear about in any history more then two or three
times even if you search for it.� She
looked down at it and studied and studied and scratched her head. The box at her feet began moving again but
she lightly put her foot on it.

�Well
there are two things it could be. One,
it could be the kanji for the supposed demon dog of the western lands Inu Toshi
from the old tales. But I think after
reading the context it�s the Kanji for the year of the cat.�

�The
year of the cat,� he asked confused.

�Yeah,
they refer to why the cat doesn�t have a year and so they needed to use a kanji
to represent the year that never happened.
They gave a special one to the other animals so they needed one for the
cat.�

�I
understand that,� he said. �But why
would it also refer to a dog demon,� he asked with a sweat drop.

�Oh
it doesn�t mean both. I am just a bit
rusty and can�t remember which one had that little line to the left of the main
symbol. It�s one or the other.�

�Thank
you very much. You have helped me out a
great deal.� He face once again lit up
as he praised her and the blush came back full force.

�I�m
so glad to have helped. Well, anyway,�
she said finally taking her foot off the box and picking it up. �I have to get back to work sometime.� She started to walk past him but he stopped
her.

�Excuse
me, but I�I am sorry about not calling you.�
She blushed a deep red and looked ready to apologize when he stopped
her. �I am having a bit of a family problem
right now. But�I-I think I would very
much like to see you once this issue has been resolved. If you do not mind waiting,� he said keeping
himself composed as always.

Rei
looked like she had just been named empress of Japan. �I-I don�t mind, I mean family comes first! Well I�m glad to have talked to you
Sohma-san.�

�Please,
Hatori-san�

�H-hai,
Hatori san.� She quickly retreated to
Tohru�s room before she could see the small smile appear for a brief moment on
Hatori�s face.

Author�s Note: Yes
there wasn�t any Tohru or Kyo in this chapter.
I�m sorry but whenever I write about them they usually take up whole
chapters and I don�t have room for little things like this so I end up writing
Kyo and Tohru-less chapters. Sorry but
don�t worry they come back in next chapter.
Sorry this is so slow but I�m trying to get the damn plot out. Was planning on putting it out in this
chapter but the fluff fairy came by and whapped me with her wand so maybe next
time. I hope you enjoyed, I know I�ll
be hearing from you if you don�t.
