"g…go, damn c-cat!" Yuki strained his voice. "m-miss Honda is… alone!"
Kyo got up but paused. What about Yuki? He couldn't just leave him there. He scooped Yuki up onto his back and jump up to the window. The extra weight made it difficult so the most he could do was jump as high as possible and grab onto the rim. He forced them both up but the sight before him almost made Kyo fall back down.
Akito had Tohru on the wall, holding her up by her neck. She looked as if she were choking, which she most likely was…
He set Yuki down quickly and raced towards them. Tohru was thrown to the floor again. Akito swung his arms at Kyo's neck which sent him flying a few meters away. Tohru crawled over to Yuki who was having difficulty breathing; he was clutching his chest and had managed to curl up on his knees. "Yuki!" she screeched, she would've waved her arms about frantically if it didn't hurt so much. She had no idea what she should do; the last time this happened, Haru had taken care of it, plus, Hatori was there. She was completely helpless; she didn't even have a jacket to keep him warm since his jacket had been torn to shreds.
Kyo stood no chance against Akito. He couldn't even manage to swing a single punch his way. He looked almost as bad as Yuki did; at least Yuki had a chance to hurt him a little. Kyo lay on the floor, paralysed with pain. Akito rest a foot onto his chest and began to step on him hard. The cat gave a few cries; he was sure his rib cage would give way soon enough. At that time, he didn't care; he just wanted so much to die and be rid of the pain. Suddenly, the weight was lifted off of him.
"what's gotten into you?!" Haru exclaimed, holding Akito down by the arms.
Akito (A/N: do we ever find out his zodiac form? I couldn't be bothered reading the manga, so I would appreciate it if someone could tell me…) kicked Hatsuharu off. "can't you see?" Akito shouted back. "she's a threat to us!" he went to hit Haru again but all of a sudden-
"STOP!" Tohru screamed, attempting to stand with only one leg to support her. She stumbled over as fast as she could go. "please, stop." She fell at Akito's feet. Haru watched in amazement at her courage. "don't hurt them anymore… I'll do anything."
"Tohru, sat away!" Kyo struggled, rolling to his side.
"anything?" Akito said, just provoking the moment. "would you sacrifice your own memory ?"
"no!" the boys insisted, even though two of them were straining themselves.
"if it means they'll be safe…" she whispered, not quite proud of herself but thankful she could save them.

short but don't worry, plenty more to come!
