There, Kyo thought as he finally got out of town, I can't hurt her anymore.
He ran like the wind, stopping only to sleep, which even then was rare. He stowed away in people's SUV's. He stole his food, and went into Burger King only to go to the bathroom. He didn't care about how barbaric it sounded to him-- imagine what Uo would do to him. And Hana and Megumi...
Brr. He shook at that thought.
Finally, he made it across the country. He wanted to get as far away from Tohru as much as possible, to protect her from his wrath. He didn't have to deal with Yuki ever again. He didn't have to deal with Akito's threats, Tohru's over-kindness, Shigure's pervertedness, Momiji's hyperness...
He didn't want to think about them now.
A ruslting noise just came from the nearby brush. Kyo swiftly turned his head, tryingto find out what it was. It continued rustling.
Must be a rabbit, Kyo thought.
But then blue smoke came from the bushes.
And there stood a lifeform. He didn't know what it was.
He proceded towards it with uncertainty.
