***DISCLAIMER*** -- You know it.

Me: … [Curled up in corner] …

Momiji: Hey, Little Yuuki Hana. Why are you curled up in the corner like that?

Me: … [Sob]… Oh Momiji, I'm so sorry. I only got one review for my last chapter. I must be a failing author… I let down all of my readers. I'm so sorry everyone.

Momiji: But Yuuki, at least you have one review and it's a good one from SamuraiPixie13. [Waves piece of paper with review on and hands it to me].

Me: [Sniff] You're right Momiji! I'll just have to try and make my chapters better so that more of my readers will enjoy them! [Fighting pose]

Momiji: Yay for Little Yuuki Hana! And yay for fighting authors!

Me: Yeah! Bring on the next chapter… [Reads through chapter] …

Momiji: … Yuuki?

Me: … [Returns to corner] … Yes Momiji, it's fine. I hope. I'll just wait here. Please carry on with the chapter.

Momiji: Ok. [Sweet smile] Hello everyone, please enjoy the next chapter of 'If Only I Knew You'. Hehe. Hey, why am I here anyway?

'Kyo's POV (Akito)

My legs dragged lazily up the sand bank. Was I really that unfit that I couldn't even keep up with that jerk Akito? I shook away the thought and concentrated on finding Torhu and bringing her back where she would be safe. My pace quickened when I thought of what that ungrateful lowlife might be doing to her.

'Kyo's Vision

Akito: [Akito shivers to get her attention] Hey, Torhu. It's pretty cold, we should stay close to keep warm.

Torhu: Ok. [Smiles innocently, oblivious to his evil] You're so sweet Akito.

End of Vision

My blood boiled at the thought of him touching her. I knew he was trouble from the start and now all I could think about was him harming Torhu. My steps grew wider as I neared the top of the sand bank. I promise Torhu, if he lays a hand on you I'll-

"Ahhhhhh!" A girl's voice screamed. I instantly knew it was her's.

"Torhu!"

My heart pounded harder as I powered my way to the top of the sand bank, begging that she wouldn't be harmed. But as I reached the top and ran along the flat sand, my worst fear was realised.

Poor Torhu stood there paralysed with what was no doubt fear, cowering away from that malevolent animal. My eyes narrowed as I shouted with rage.

"YOU SICK PERVERT, LEAVE HER ALONE!" I ran to Torhu as he stared at me, dumbstruck. He was showing his true colours now he couldn't deny it. I snatched her up and ran off, she didn't deserve to be around anyone like this.

I didn't even bother to look back at him with my threat. "And don't you ever go near Torhu again, you hear me?!"

I ran as fast as I could with her in my arms, though I wasn't sure if he was following us or not. I started to breathe heavier as I ran; she wasn't heavy at all but I was still exhausted from the day's events. I still couldn't believe that he was stood over her naked, like that. Well, I guess I did really. Urgh! I should have never let him near Torhu; I should have protected her better.

As I saw the light of the fire I noticed that she was shaking. Was it with fear? Her eyes were closed as if she could shut out the world. I wanted to pull her close to show her she was safe but thought better of it. Any one of us could have been a threat to her; she's so innocent and pure.

As we neared the camp, Hatori looked up, his face still the same expression even after seeing Torhu huddled up in my arms. I brought her close to the fire and rapped my jacket around her shoulders. "I'm so sorry Torhu, I shouldn't have left you alone."

"What happened?" Hatori asked only now seeming to take an interest but his voice remained the same tone. "Is she ok?"

"It's that jerk, Akito." My blood boiled at the mention of his name. "He tried to- to rape poor Torhu. I can't believe that pervert!"

Hatori raised his eyebrow questioningly. "Really? You would have never guessed to look at the guy." He returned his interest in the fire. "Guess this island finally got to him, or he's just been like that from the start."

I paced up and down in front of the fire, the rage still radiated from me. After cooling off a bit I turned to look back at Torhu, curled up in my jacket still. Was she asleep? I stepped forward but a voice stopped me from going any closer.

"I think you should let her sleep. She's probably over stressed. Right?" I looked at him, maybe he did care, but then looked back to Torhu, poor girl.

"Yeah, sweet dreams Torhu."

'Akito's POV (Kyo)

"And don't you ever go near Torhu again, you hear me?!" Surprisingly his words cut through me like a knife. I was so angry at him for taking her away and that I couldn't apologise but I realised that I was really angry at myself.

Did that really happen? I could have sworn that I had turned into a cat, however mad that sound, but I was definitely a cat. Wasn't I? An uncomfortable doubt set in my gut.

Heck, how could that have happened, I must be going mad. I thought about her expression when I stood there, Kyo threatening me. She was so frightened and all I could do was watch as he took her away from me. I couldn't chase after them, not with Torhu scared of me.

Could I ever go back? I half heartedly laughed at the thought of Kyo kicking my butt out of camp, he may look sick but he had some strength there. Maybe it would be best for Torhu to stay with him, she would be safe. A little voice in my mind told me to believe the unbelievable, that I was a cat. I didn't want to hurt Torhu, I would rather die first.

Go back to camp and apologise, you may have just let the only person who will ever accept you go forever. But give her some time first. "Yeah, but how much time to do think she will take to forgive me. Kind of a big favour to ask in I was hitting on her like Kyo thought I was". Trust you gut, you know you wouldn't do that to Torhu.

"You're right, I wouldn't." I bent down and gathered up my clothes and shoes. "I'll give you the time you need, then I come back and hope you will forgive me and if you don't…" My heart sank at the thought of her frightened face, running away in to the arms of Kyo, who would be glaring at me with eyes that could kill.

And be careful, when you go back. I have a feeling you can't trust some of these people. And I had a pretty good guess at who he was referring to.

Torhu's POV

My eyes were wide and my mouth slightly open in shock. I heard a faint sound of someone shouting out to us but the sound of my heart drowned it out making the words incoherent. Akito stood there completely naked staring at the person who had called out to us.

He looked frightened, but not at the person running towards us, but of himself. The light of moon made his skin look pure and his hair full of life. After looking at himself he looked straight at me. I didn't move, didn't flinch. My face must have looked horrified. I tried to move, to not look so frightened but I couldn't.

My heart felt heavy with guilt when he looked down away from us in shame. I wanted to say it's alright, comfort him, but I couldn't. Suddenly, I was lifted up and held by the person, I can only guess was the person yelling at us. We were now moving very fast, the sound of my heart still drowned out most of the words but I could hear some of what he was talking, threatening.

"…don't you ever go near Torhu…" I took this chance to look up at the person who had taken me. It was Kyo. Why was he yelling at Akito? It then clicked in my mind. I he must have thought that Akito was trying to hurt me. I had to tell him it was all a misunderstanding. Akito wouldn't hurt me. But just as I opened my mouth to speak, my whole world began to turn back.

No. Please, I need to tell him what happened. My body was still exhausted after chasing Akito. I need to tell him. Akito. Please.

Torhu's Dream

I'm scared.

What am I scared of?

I'm scared.

Of who?

Don't let them take it away from me.

What did they take?

Please, don't.

I feel so cold

Don't take them away?

My heart, it feels so heavy. I can't move. Why can't I move?

Please.

Please.

Help me.

Help me.

End of Torhu's Dream

I heard the fire crackle and the mutter of voices. I was about to open my eyes when I heard my name mentioned. "He tried to -to rape poor Torhu! I can't believe that pervert!" They were talking about me, but who else? Who tried to-?

It clicked in my mind again. Akito didn't do anything to me, he wouldn't. I felt like there was a reason why he was stood there without clothes but I couldn't quiet remember. "Guess this island finally got to him, or he's just been like that from the start." Akito's not like that.

"I think you should let her sleep. She's probably over stressed. Right?"

I don't need to sleep, I need to remember.

"Yeah, sweet dreams Torhu."

No, I need to remember. But I feel so tired.

"Sweet dreams Torhu."

But I feel so tired. Once again, my world turned dark.

Me: ... [Hiding in corner still] ...

Momiji: No problem. Why am I here again?

Me: Because your cute. :3
