Their blood ran cold as they watched the doorknob slowly begin to turn.
"Crap!" Kyo whispered under his breath. "Can this get any worse? Now we'll never get outta here!" Yuki looked around anxiously. He looked over at Kyo and spoke as calmly as he could.
"Hide the suitcases!" he whispered quickly, grabbing Tohru's hand and picking up Toshi. He headed toward the stairs.
"Hide them where?" Kyo asked panicking, picking up the suitcases.
"I don't know!" Yuki exclaimed, trying to keep his voice down. "Anywhere, but hurry!" Without even thinking, Kyo threw the suitcases out the window and into the backyard. Yuki's eye's widened.
"You idiot!" Yuki exclaimed in a hushed whisper. He stopped when the door began to creek open. Pulling Tohru behind him, Yuki jumped out the window that Kyo threw the bags out of. (They were on the first floor so they didn't get hurt.) Kyo followed close behind. They all ducked low to the ground. Tohru's eyes were wide as she tried to control her breathing. Yuki and Kyo were on either side to her with their daughter's to their chests. Their hearts were beating like mad and their eyes were squeezed shut. They stayed still as they heard the voices of their two cousins.
"My darling brother!" Ayame called. "I have come to comfort you at your darkest hour!" Yuki tried hard not to snort in disgust and Kyo tried hard not to laugh. Ayame and Shigure grew nervous as they were greeted by silence. That's when the three teens heard footsteps as Shigure and Ayame wandered around the house.
"Yuki! Kyo! Tohru!" Shigure called. "You have to get ready! Akito will be here any minute!" Yuki could feel his daughter's body shiver in fear at the mention of Akito. He stroked the girl's hair soothingly.
"Where are they?" Ayame asked confused. Usually whenever he came he would at least get yelled at by Kyo. Shigure shrugged his shoulders.
"Probably upstairs packing," the dog replied. "Let's go check up on them. This isn't only Yuki's darkest hour. I'm sure that Kyo and Tohru are just as upset about it as Yuki is." With that the two headed up the stairs. As soon as they were sure that Ayame and Shigure were out of earshot, Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru quickly got to their feet.
"Let's hurry!" Yuki exclaimed, running around the house to the front. "It won't be long before they find out that we left. We have to get as far away from here as we can!" With that said, the five ran. They ran hurriedly through the trees. They weren't for sure where they were going, but all three teenagers had one thing on their mind and that was to keep their daughter's safe from harm.
10 minutes later…
The three teenagers ran like they never ran before. It's a miracle that Tohru was actually able to keep up with the boys. Of course, Yuki was pretty much dragging her along the whole way. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the three panting heavily.
"Rat boy!" Kyo suddenly yelled out. "Where are we going?" Yuki, who was in the lead, stayed silent for a while. When he finally answered, he spoke slowly, as if the wheels were turning in his head.
"I'm not really sure," he said between breaths. "We won't get far by foot. What I wouldn't do for a driver's license right now. Maybe we can take a train… I don't know." Tohru, who had been silent, spoke up.
"I think the next train leaves in about 45 minutes," she offered, struggling to keep up with Yuki. "We could take it." That's when they heard the sound of a car coming toward them. They dove into the bushes quickly and stayed low to the ground. Yuki poked his head over the bush to see none other than Hatori Sohma's black car with the Sohma family head, Akito sitting in the backseat. Yuki felt his heart stop at that moment.
"It's Akito!" Yuki yelled out in horror. He quickly got out of the bushes with Kyo and Tohru following quickly. "He's heading toward the house! We have to leave now!" He began to run out of the forest and down the road.
"Wait!" Kyo yelled at him. "Where are we going?" Yuki stopped and looked back at them.
"To the train station," he spoke grabbing Toshi from Tohru and then grabbing the girl's arm. He began to run again. "I think if we took the right courses then we would be where Kyo trained." Tohru suddenly stopped in her tracks. Yuki and Kyo turned to her in surprise.
"What are you doing?" Kyo yelled at her. "We have to go now!" Tohru stared up at them with tears in her eyes. Yuki's eye's softened. He handed Toshi over to Kyo and placed a hand against Tohru's cheek. He stared deep into her dark chocolate eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked her gently, stoking her cheek. Tears streamed down Tohru's face now. She hung her head.
"I-I'm sorry," she spoke softly. "But what about Hana and Uo? They would be so worried about me. I don't want to hurt them." Yuki looked taken aback by this. He had never thought about all the people that would miss them. He was so anxious to get out of there that it slipped his mind.
"You'll see them again," he spoke softly, not knowing what else to say. Tohru continued to let the tears fall.
"And what about everyone else?" she asked. "What about Kisa and Momiji? How will Shigure and Ayame feel when they find out that we left? What will happen to Haru and the rest of the Sohmas? I don't want to hurt them by leaving. I can't stand knowing that they will feel pain because of me." Yuki carefully lifted her chin with a finger so that she was looking him in the eye.
"Miss. Honda," Yuki began carefully. "I'm sure that they'll all be alright. I think that they will understand why we left and I'm sure that they will be happy just by knowing that you're safe. And I promise you that someday, I WILL take you back here one day to see everyone again. I promise you that I'll find a way to make everything right again. It will just take some time, but please trust me. Everything will be alright." He kissed her cheek softly. Kyo walked over to them.
"Mama," Toshi spoke quietly. "I-I'm scared." Tohru stared at her daughter and wiped her tears away quickly. She had to be brave for Toshi. She managed a weak smile as she gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek.
"Don't worry," she spoke to Toshi gently. "You'll be alright. We'll make sure nothing bad happens." Yuki took Toshi from Kyo and kissed her head. He adjusted the little girl in his arms and held his hand out to Tohru.
"I promise," he repeated gently. "Everything will be just fine." Tohru smiled at him softly and took his hand in hers. Then they were off on their long journey that has only begun.
