"Where is Kyou?" Uotani asked Yuki. Her arms were crossed and was glaring at him. She caught him off guard with the question. It showed in the look he returned her.

"I'm not exactly sure where he is at the moment." He finally replied. It was basically the truth, he did not really know where Kyou was locked up. "I haven't had much contact with him."

Tohru looked over to Yuki. "What do you mean by that Yuki-kun?"Tohru asked. Her face was of pure innocence as she asked him the question. He was caught on the spot, he tried to reply, but Uotani interupted him.

"Tohru, are you really alright? You know that Yuki has not really talked to Kyou, with him being your hu-" The shoji screen door opened at that moment. It was not the opening that caused her to stop talking, but the chill she recieved from the person who opened it. Uotani turned to see the rarely seen Akito Souma enter the room.

She did not like the feelings she recieved from him. Megumi only shifted his eyes toward him, the odd waves that eminated from him were stronger then the ones that Yuki gave off. He now understood what his sister ment about the oddity some of these people gave off.

The man beside the blonde was giving Akito a disturbing feeling from his stare. Akito decided to be careful around this individual. He remember being told something about how one of Tohru's friends could make you ill, or curse you by knowing your name. He did not recall all the things, but he would be cautious regardless.

"Akito-san..."Yuki said. "What are you doing here?" Akito looked over at the sitting Yuki, who looked worried about his prescence there. He gave him a twisted little smile.

"I thought it would be rude of me to not meet these guests, sending Kureno so much makes me seem like an impersonal host."

Uotani was getting unnerved by the short sickly looking thing before her. He may have seemed sick, but his voice was not. Tohru started to get dizzy. Flashes again appeared in her mind, but pain followed them. She held her head down, holding it with strained hands. Yuki noticed the sudden change in her disposition. In her mind glimpses of a grotesque creature, small children and rain continously appeared. She could not make sense of it causing her greatconfusion.

"Tohru-san! What's wrong?" Yuki asked. His hands were upon her shoulders. She only replied in brief hardly audible murmurs of pain. He then knew she needed to see Hatori. "Is Ha-san here Akito?"Yuki asked. Akito looked at him, "He went out a short while ago, but should be here soon." He then turned to the two sitting across from him. "I think this visit shall be cut short, it seem miss Tohru's health isn't going to allow it to continue. When she is well enough we will send you notice."

Uotani and Megumi were rather hurridly rushed from the room and shown out of the house. Uotani tried in protest to be allowed to stay with her friend, but all her attempts were stopped. She finally gave in only out of fear for Tohru. She did not wish to aggrivate the situation with her. Uotani however was in contact with Shigure and Momiji about the entire situation. Later on she planned to have another chat with Shigure.

==================================================================================

Cleaning up the trash from the take-out meal, Shigure had to replace the garbage bag. In the middle of doing this, the phone rang. Being closer to the machine, meant Shigure was the one to get it. Hatori was in the livingroom watching young Katsuro who was playing outside. His cousin called from the hallway to him. "Ha-san! You're wanted at the main house." Hatori started to get up from where he sat. "Is it Akito again Shigure?" He asked. When he got into the hall Shigure had a totally serious face. "It's for Tohru." He blankly said.



He gave the phone to Hatori who was on it only briefly. He put the phone down hard, barely short of slamming it. "She's having another mental lapse. I have to go immediatly." He then proceeded to grab his coat and shoes. Shigure leaned on the wall as he watched Hatori put on his shoes. "How serious is it?" He asked.

Hatori stood up. "I won't know until I see her myself, but if these continue she may never really recover to a stable or 'normal' state of mind." He gave Shigure a nod off and left. Shigure saw him out, then went to the open doors along the porch. He watched the young child play in the yard.

==================================================================================

Tohru was lying again in her bed. She was barely aware of what was happening to her. Akito was outside with Yuki while Hatori attended her. They could tell he was not in a good mood.

"It seems you nearly lost what you tried so hard to gain Yuki-kun." Akito mocked at him. "She will soon be nothing but an empty shell if you don't keep watch over what happens around her, these stimuli of her past will ruin your little facade."

Yuki glared at him. "You're the one who runs things around here Akito, it seems you don't have as strong a hold over everything as you think." A rather hard slap hit him across the cheek as he finished saying it. "I am not to blame for this Yuki," Akito said. "I've kept my part of the promise. You have to be the one to maintain everything with her. I said nothing about my having to keep your little prize all safe and tucked away, I just said that I would see she is given to you."

Yuki glared over at Akito. The screen slid open and Hatori exited the room, he shut it after himself. "She's asleep again. As I said before, she is not to have any stimuli of her past right now. After Tohru rests for an hour or so, wake her up. If she continues to sleep so much she will become groggy all the time." Hatori stared at Yuki through his one good eye, Yuki did not like the stare he was receiving.

"I'll be near if anything else happens. "Hatori told the two of them as he headed down the hall. Within moments he was gone from sight, Yuki was about to enter, when Akito spoke. "Ha-san said not to disturb her Yuki, besides I need to discuss something with you." He got up from his leaning position and started to walk off. Yuki frowned at him.

He took a quick glance into the room at Tohru, then silently closed the door. Yuki turned and followed after Akito.

=================================================================================



Her body felt slightly heavy. She did not want to sleep anymore, Tohru sat up in her bed. She noticed she was completely alone in the room. Tohru rose from were she sat and stretched, she shuffled over to the shoji screens for the porch. She opened them to revel an extensive garden.

She smiled at the beautiful sight before her. It's many small paths that she could see intrigued her, Tohru went off from the porch and started to explore the garden. The large inner part of the courtyard was in full bloom at this time of year. She thoroughly enjoyed looking at every aspect of the greenery, Tohru soon found herself deeply emmerged in the wonders that surrounded her.

At the point when she realized she was actually lost, she came upon an odd looking window. It was slated, obviously one could only see from the inside out. She went up to it and placed her hand on it, and peered in. The form of Kyou was sitting across from where she looked.

Her shadow peered across the room, causing Kyou to look up. He saw Tohru's face distorted by the slashed bars on the window.

"K-kyou kun?!"
