Summary: Kagura wakes up to a shocking situation.

The first thing she
noticed as the haze cleared and she drifted back into conscious was the extreme
pounding in her head. She felt as if someone had hit her over the head with a
brick. Her mouth felt like she had swallowed cotton as she licked her lips
trying to restore some of the moisture in vain. Something beside her shifted,
lightly brushing against her leg�her bare leg. Now that she thought about it
she couldn�t feel anything but the sheets against her skin. Suddenly she shot
into the upright position; her head protested the movement by rewarding her
with a dizzy sensation in addition to the pounding that was already present.

�Oh my head,� she
groaned softly. Her mind was racing trying to remember the night before; she
remembered that she had been at the Main House for the New Year�s party. She
could also remember that Kunimitsu had not been able to attend due to a series
of business meetings that would not wait. So who the hell was in the bed next to
her? She had been drinking last night with not much restraint and things were
still blurry in her mind. Shakily she turned and pulled the covers down far
enough to reveal her bed partner�s head. An instant lump formed in her throat
at the sight of the familiar orange hair. �Oh no�� she said panic rising in her
tone. �Kyou wake up!� she demanded giving him a rough shake.

�Huh?� he muttered,
grumpily.

�Wake up!� she
shouted, causing him to jump and fall out of bed.

Suddenly his hand
went to his own pounding head but quickly amended that decision once he
realized that he was naked. �What the hell!� he yelled wrapping one of the
loose sheets around his waist and pinning himself against the wall in horror.

�My thoughts
exactly!� Kagura said, dropping her face into her hands. How could she be so
stupid? She had given up on Kyou years ago but somehow here they were in a
rather embarrassing situation.

�Kagura? How? Did
we�?� he stammered trying to find the right question to ask.

Kagura forced her
mind to focus on the rest of her body, though she and Kunimitsu were only
engaged they lived together and had shared the same bed for sometime now. She
knew her body well enough to confirm that she indeed had sex very recently. She
hugged the covers tightly around her body trying unsuccessfully to stop the
tears from falling. Not only was she a bad fianc�e but she could add bad friend
as well. What could they possibly tell Kunimitsu and Tohru that would make them
understand that they didn�t do this on purpose? She could hear Kyou let out a
heavy sigh before she felt his weight on the bed again. Then hesitantly she
felt him pull her into a comforting embrace.

�Kagura, I�m sorry��
he whispered softly into her hair.

He had watched her
quietly sob into her hands and felt helpless to do anything. Things were hazy
for him but he did remember Kagura being really drunk and him being only
slightly less drunk offering to walk her back to her house since Kunimitsu was
unable to make it back from his business trip. Tohru had been the one to
suggest to him that he take her home and he was suppose to meet her back at the
Main house afterwards. Everyone had been either full out drunk or tipsy but
they all had to notice that he hadn�t returned. How in the world was he to hide
something like this? More disturbingly he wasn�t sure if he wanted to hide it.

Even hung over
Kagura looked beautiful sitting across from him. Her long brown hair hung
around her face and shoulders covering her expose pale skin. She now had the
sheets wrapped tightly around her body. He could feel his own body stir and
quickly shook the thoughts away. They were already in a bind there was no need
to complicate things further.

He and Tohru had
been a couple for a few years now but they had yet to marry. Something always
came up that allowed him to make the excuse to push the date back and Tohru
never bothered to argue about it. Lately he found that he was missing
something, that as good as his relationship with Tohru was he still couldn�t
fully commit to them. Looking at Kagura�s distraught form on the bed across
from him he began to understand why. Cautiously he closed the distance between
them and pulled her in a comforting embrace.

�Kagura, I�m sorry,�
he whispered softly into her hair. �I didn�t mean to hurt you.�

She stiffened in his
arms before slowly looking up at him. �What do you mean by that?�

He looked deeply
into her widened gray eyes and placed a hand gently on her cheek. �I�m sorry
for hurting you�all these years.�

He could feel her
breath catch in her chest before she pulled away from his embrace. �I�m not
sure why you are saying this now but last night was a mistake. We both have
someone now and things are good�why rock the boat?� she said getting off the
bed. �I�m going to take a bath and clear my head. Please be gone before I�m
finished.�

He felt her pulling
away from him and it was the last thing he wanted now that he knew exactly what
and who he wanted. Reflexively he grabbed her arm and pulled her back down on
the bed. �Are you really happy with Kunimitsu?� he asked forcing her to look
him in the eye.

She faltered
slightly and turned away from his gaze. �Kyou, why are you doing this to me
now? You have Tohru and I have Kunimitsu...at least I hope so after this
stunt.�

�Answer my question,�
he demanded.

�Yes, I�m happy with
him,� she said, looking into his eyes. After all these years he could still
read the emotions in her eyes.

�But��

�But something is
missing between us.�

He had finally made
it back home and he wanted to surprise Kagura. Quietly he entered the house and
made his way upstairs it was as he almost reached their bedroom door that he
heard voices...two very distinct voices at that. Silently he pressed himself
against the wall to listen to the conversation.

�Are you really
happy with Kunimitsu?� he heard Kyou ask.

There was a pause
before he heard Kagura reply, �Kyou, why are you doing this to me now? You have
Tohru and I have Kunimitsu...at least I hope so after this stunt.�

�Answer my
question!� Kyou�s voice commanded.

�Yes, I�m happy with
him�� said Kagura, although Kunimitsu noted the conviction wasn�t there.

�But�� Kyou pressed.

�But something is
missing between us.� Kagura admitted. Kunimitsu could feel�almost hear his
heart crack. She had assured him that she was over Kyou and he believed her.
They had been together for a couple of years even lived together yet she always
found excuses for them not to make it official. So was that it, was he just a
lay over until she found the person she really wanted? Had he been her Kyou
substitute? Part of him wanted to barge in and challenge Kyou but he knew
violence wouldn�t solve this problem. Slowly he backed away, crept back
downstairs and walked outside. He needed to talk to Kagura but not while Kyou
was around. He reached into his suit pocket and pulled out his cell phone
dialing their home number. He could hear Kagura scrambling upstairs to answer
the phone in the hall.

�Hello!�

�Hey honey, I�m on
my way home. I�m already in the compound. Want to go out for breakfast?�

�Yeah sure, I�ll see
you in a few minutes,� she replied before hanging up.

His decision was
made; he would play it cool and see what she would tell him. The next few hours
would define how he was going to handle this situation. �Kyou, you had your
chance and blew it.� I won�t give her up
without a fight!� Kunimitsu muttered.
