A/N: Hello again… I am here alone this time…:: Sniffles:: But anyway… Here's Chapter 3!!!

Chapter 3- Wings of the White Bird

Tohru shivered and reached for the handle. Kyo stepped lightly beside her, and she felt his tension. Quiet as a mouse, she stepped inside.

They followed the winding corridor that led to Akito's chambers. With each step it seemed that the house seemed colder, more sinister. When they reached the double doors, Tohru was trembling. You idiot, you're only going to see Akito… She thought to herself. The same chilling voice echoed from the dimly lit room. "Come in…Miss Honda…" She gulped and stepped inside, leaving Kyo in the hall, cursing.

The room she entered was dark; little white candles burned on almost every surface. It was a simple room but had a heavy wind of dread about it. "I have been waiting for you…Miss Honda…" The voice whispered from the next room. "Akito…" Tohru said, her voice trembling.

A thin figure crept from the shadows and stood before her. She immediately dropped to her knees, bowing deeply. The figure above her only smirked.

Then without warning, a cold hand grasped her hair and jerked her violently upward. Tohru was caught off guard. She screamed, tears flooding her face.

Tohru's scream split through Kyo like lightening. Without hesitation or a second thought, he burst in and horror etched across his face. "AKITO!!!" He screamed and launched himself onto him, trying to drag him off of Tohru. Akito tightened his grip on Tohru's hair while trying to shake off Kyo.

"YOU SEE!!" Akito shrieked, thrashing wildly. "YOU SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!! YOU STUPID GIRL!!!!" She gritted her teeth in pain, but refused to say anything.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S DRIVING THEM FROM ME!! BUT YOU CAN'T! YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE MINE, I AM GOD!!!" He said, panting, as if the exertion of this action was exhausting him. Kyo swung punches at him, attempting to knock him off of Tohru, but was having little luck.

Then, Akito rounded on Kyo, his eyes glittering. "You're turn, you little monster." That single word tore through Kyo. His anger boiled up through his chest and he trembled, his knuckles turning white with rage.

A deep, defined voice sounded from the doorway, "Enough is enough, Akito…"

A/N: Oooo… a cliffhanger. I seemed to be good at doing those. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next will be even better…. There will be a surprise character… Not saying any more….
