Chapter Seven
The Rescue Part II
'Tohru! Please hold on just a while longer!' was the thought in everyone's mind. "C'mon Kisa! Hiro! Run faster or we'll go without you two!" Kagura yelled as she ran faster. They weren't too far from the main house but Kagura insisted that they should run.
The group approached the house and slowed down. "How are we going to get inside?" Kisa panted.
Yuki looked in the house through the window. "There are maids everywhere. If you two could distract them so we could get through unnoticed…"
Hiro nodded. "Leave it to us. Ready Kisa?" The tiger nodded and they went inside.
"How the hell should we get Tohru?" Kyo asked angrily. "Yuki, you're the one going out with her so you decide."
Kagura gasped. "Yun…you're going out with…Tohru-kun!"
Yuki nodded. "Yeah. This isn't the time to talk right now though! Come on. Hiro and Kisa…" Yuki peeked inside the house again. "They've gotten rid of the maids. Let's hurry up to Akito's room before the maids come back!"
They quickly walked over towards the door. Kagura was tempted to knock it down but Kyo held her back. He slid it open and the three slipped inside. "Where is Akito-san's room?" Kagura muttered. Yuki pointed down the hall. "Right there…"
The sound of footsteps approaching them made the three jump up in surprise. "The maids will be coming back soon Yuki-chan!" Kisa exclaimed. They relaxed. "It's only you two. Okay. We're going to get Tohru back!" Kagura promised.
"Kisa, Hiro, you should both go home," Yuki said. "I don't you guys getting in trouble right now. So, leave."
"The damn rat's right. Go before you guys get caught," Kyo agreed. Hiro nodded, took Kisa's hand and sprinted out of the house.
"Kyo…you actually…agreed with me?" Yuki asked bewildered. The cat shrugged. "I just wanna save Tohru."
"C'mon!" Kagura said. They ran down the hall and opened the door.
"Akito! Where's Tohru?" Kyo started. He looked around. "Akito isn't here…"
"Very good. I am not in the room…but you failed to realize that I was right behind you…" It was Akito.
"Where the hell is Tohru?" Yuki asked furiously, trying to hide his fear. "What have you done with her?"
Akito laughed. "Find her Yuki. You of all people should know where I would hide someone…" She shoved the others away and slid her door shut.
Yuki doesn't say anything but instead, runs to the only place he knows. The dark room…
The room brought back so many memories to the nezumi's mind. Torture, mental abuse, physical abuse…
He ran to it and tried to open the door. It was locked. "Yun-chan! Wait up!" The other two caught up to him. Kyo gave Yuki a key. "Stole it from Akito's room…" They opened it and looked inside in shock.
"Tohru…" Yuki said faintly. "Kyo, leave the door open so we can have some light…"
He walked over to a small silhouette. "Tohru…" She was on the floor, curled into a tight ball. "Y-Yuki-kun?" she asked nervously.
"Tohru…what did Akito do to you?" Yuki asked slowly.
"She said…my memories would be erased. I was put in here. Yuki-kun?" Tohru looked at Yuki with her big blue eyes. "She said you used to be in this room a lot…"
Yuki smiled a bit. "Yeah. When I was younger…"
Footsteps could be heard yet again. "Yuki-kun…it's Akito! Please…leave…" she said. "Hold on for a second though…" She went over and spotted her bag. Tohru pulled something out. "Here's the hat you gave me. Please keep it." The onigiri smiled and tears welled in her eyes.
"Don't worry about me. Just go…"
Yuki nodded and ushered Kagura and Kyo out. "Why'd you leave her?" Kyo whispered as they exited the house. "I don't think we'd have been caught!"
"Where would we take her? Akito would probably tell everyone to find her. It's…too dangerous…" Yuki replied.
He looked at the orange hat. "Tohru…"

Author's Note
Hi! My plot is starting here! Anyway, I was gonna have Yuki rescue Tohru and have her do some other stuff but I read another Fanfiction that had the idea I was gonna use and, I didn't want to copy. I'm kinda a liar because I said that I wouldn't make another fanfic, but I did. (Summer is here so its fine!) Oh yeah, I have a forum for the Yukiru fans! Post post post!
