Chapter Ten: Painful Tragedy

Tohru's POV

"Kyo-kun!" I screamed, dropping to the floor. I shook him, but he writhed in pain, crying out. "Oh, goodness! Help! Someone!" I cried.

The front door slammed open, and I heard a voice call out,

"Toooohrrrruuu!"

"Momiji-kun!" I cried, as he walked in. He stopped and looked at Kyo-kun, shocked. "Go call Hatori! Call anyone! Please! Hurry!"

"I'm on it Tohru!" he called, and raced out the door. "I'll bring help in a few minutes! Hold on Kyo!"

It was a long few minutes.

I was crying uncontrollably when Hatori, Shigure and Ayame came running in.

"Back up, Tohru!" Hatori said fiercely, "He's in great pain. Shigure – Ayame, help me carry him outside!"

"What's wrong with him!" I cried, rushing after them. They set Kyo-kun down in the yard, and I knelt down, opposite Hatori, my mouth covered in horror at what I was seeing.

Kyo-kun's face was contorted in a mask of pure pain and torture. He was writhing on the ground, crying out, like he was on fire.

"Aya, Shigure! Hold him down!" Hatori commanded. Shigure and Ayame knelt down – Shigure held his wrists – Ayame his ankles.

"Ha'ri! Please! Tell me what's happening to him!" I cried, tears pouring down my face.

"I'm not sure!" he cried, sounding scared. I stopped crying and looked at him, astonished. "But… I think he's trying to get rid of it…. His other form…"

"What!?" I screamed, horrified.

Suddenly, he stopped shaking, and fell limp in the ground. Then he screamed, a wailing sound, and I could suddenly hear what no one else could: his heart slowing down.

"Kyo-kun! Please! Stop it! Don't leave me!" I cried, kneeling down beside him. "Hold on Kyo-kun! Fight! Don't let it win!"

I looked at Hatori – my eyes wild. "Do something! Save him!"

Ha'ri has tears in his eyes – and so did Ayame and Shigure. "What – " I began, scared.

"There is not much we can do Tohru. This is internal. He has to fight this battle. Alone." Hatori said.

"No!" I sobbed and collapsed, onto his chest holding him tight.

He didn't transform.

But – at that moment, I didn't care. I just wanted my Kyo-kun to be okay – curse and all. But, if the curse really was broken – would I cost Kyo-kun his life?
