Sweetyb: I know it's been a while, but so many fans have sent me mail urging me to continue with this story that I just can't help but comply. So here it is.

( Yuki's POV)

The demon had just left and my kitten at the moment is trying to re-learn how to breathe. Who does that bitch think she is, can't she see that Kyo wants nothing to do with her. She parades around beating the crap out of my cat, thinking that if she does it enough that it may knock some sense into him. What she can't see is that she's an annoying little bitch, and that Kyo will never love her. At one time I found her stalker ways pretty funny, but now that Kyo's all mine I won't let him go. How we got to this point, both Kyo and I collapsed on the floor, the room looked like a bomb had just hit.

After we got over the shock of seeing her in the doorway, murder in her eyes, we both threw ourselves from each other, scrambling off the bed, both of us rambling, trying our best to keep her calm. Like that would ever happen considering what she had just burst into. Kyo got to her first; acting as if nothing happened, he started to complain to her how she had just broken his door. With a fierce scream, she lunged at him, wrapping her hands around his neck, cutting him off mid-sentence. They both fell back, and to the ground, Kagura riding Kyo all the way down. With her hands still around the cat's neck her grasp tightened, and straddling his chest she pulled him up by his neck and slammed his head back down against the floorboards. She repeatedly did this, all the while letting out wordless screeches. While all this was happening I still hadn't moved from the side of the bed, still in shock from this new development. I didn't snap out of it until Kyo's head was brought up once more and I saw a red smear where his head had just been. Oh god she was cracking his skull! I ran over, throwing myself on her, wrapping my arms around her neck, trying my best to get her off of him. She finally stopped slamming his head into the floor, but rather then let go she leaned forward, tightening her grip. I was still trying to get her off, but damn she's strong. With my right fist beating against her back, I rode her like one of those electric bulls.

"Let go you crazy bitch, let go!" I scream in vain, trying to pry her hands from his neck

"How could you? How could you do this to me?"

Yes, finally words. She kept screaming this at Kyo, while his eyes had already began to roll back in their sockets. All I could see was white, his eyelids fluttering like butterfly wings. Strangled, primal sounds were being forced from his mouth. I don't know when, but Kyo had started to claw at Kagura, long bloody ribbons showed on the arms that held him down. Her dress was torn in places where he had pulled on her in the struggle, from what I could see he had even gotten her face. Three bleeding groves showed on her left cheek, another gash was under her right eye, and to look at her you would think that she was crying crimson tears of blood. Seeing I was getting nowhere trying to pull her off I got up and positioned myself on the side of them. I usually would never think about harming a girl, let alone actually doing it, but she was fucking killing him. I swung my leg back, first kicking her in her stomach then in her face. The force of my kick sent her flying into a wall stunning her, and giving me enough time to pull Kyo as far away from her as possible in the small room. She got up screaming, charging at us like the insane boar she is. I met her halfway, meeting each of her blows with one of my own. Though we had studied under the same master for about the same amount of time, my movements were just a little bit quicker, my reflexes just a tiny bit faster. One of my kicks caught her in the stomach again, which was soon followed by a blow to the face that sent her crashing to the ground. She lay there for a while breathing hard and not moving, I stayed in my fighting stance just in case she decided to jump up and continue. She didn't do this; instead she began to cry.

"This is all your fault, you stupid rat! This is all your fault! Kyo was the only thing I had and you took him way from me, why? Why?

I didn't have an answer to this question, it kind of just happened this way. Though I hate her for not realizing that she's lost, I also felt really sorry for her. Kyo has been her dream guy since we were kids, and here I come waltzing in and just take him away. Though he never belonged to her to begin with, I kind of feel bad for dashing her hope. I can't really blame her for her actions; if Kyo left me for someone else, I would probably do the same thing. It's funny how desperate love can make you, and it's even more ironic that I can admit that love could rob me of my cool façade, my peace of mind, my wit, my sanity… my heart.

She slowly got to her feet, and gradually made her way to the door she had broken down, probably coming to the conclusion that she couldn't win a fistfight with me. As she was about to step over the wreckage she had created, she turned around and looked back at the two of us: Me still in my stance, Kyo collapsed on the wall behind me. Her eyes quickly skipped over me and intensely set themselves upon Kyo. She looked into his eyes, and he looked right on back, an unspoken conversation going on between them. Finally the silence was broken by her parting words.

" Kyo hear this and know its true. I will never forgive you for this. I will see you hurt, I will see you cry, I will see you beat down and discouraged…I will see you in pain so unimaginable that you have not experienced yet. I WILL SEE YOU PAY!

With that she stormed out of the room, slamming the front door as she left. As soon as I knew that she was truly gone my knees gave way. I slowly crawled back over to my fallen love to check if he was okay. His neck was a vibrant purple, and a perfect imprint of Kagura's hands had been left. I softly kissed the cat's burning neck, aching from mistreatment. I then told him to lean forward so that I could check the back of his head. There was a round spot at the back of his head where the blood had clotted and matted in his hair. I'm not a doctor so I couldn't tell you how bad it really is, but I'm kind of reluctant to call Hatori, because he'll want to know what happened. If I tell him part of it he'll go to Kagura and find out the truth, and if I tell him the truth he'll be obligated to tell Akito. Kyo laid his head in my lap and only then did I look down into his face. What I saw there made me uneasy.

"What's wrong?" I asked, running my fingers through his bangs

"She hates us," He said, saying this as if the words meant more then they seemed.

"Yeah I got that"

"No, you don't, she really hates us. Which makes you think how far will that hatred drive her. I mean you heard her; she's going to make me pay for hurting her. You know just as well as I do that Kagura's emotions have always run to the extreme. If she loves someone she'll try to dominate their heart, if she hates someone she'll do anything and everything to destroy them. There are no halves with her, she either likes you or she doesn't. She's always had a very black and white viewpoint of things. Its not so much what she said as much as how she said it, the way she looked as she said it. It makes you wonder what she's planning, how far she'll go to hurt me, to hurt us, but especially me."

Kyo's words left us both solemn and we just stayed there, Kyo with his head in my lap, me still running my fingers through his hair. We let Kyo's somber words sink in, letting them run their course through our minds. And with each thought our hearts grew tighter with the possibilities. I should have known better. I've only had him for a week and the obstacles were already displaying themselves. I sat there with my kitten in my arms and I gave myself over to the silence that had settled in her wake. Would Kagura really go that far, would she really be so vindictive enough to go to him, our so-called GOD. No, she may be angry with us but she wouldn't go to him of her own free will. Kagura's just afraid of Akito as any other zodiac member, and she knows just as well as I do that there's no guarantee that he won't shot the massager of such bad news.

For some reason this thought doesn't reassure me, Akito has always had a way of finding out things, of knowing everything that went on in his little puppets lives. How long do we have before he finds out?

When he does, I know that he'll put me back in that cold room, and god knows what he'll do to my cat. Kyo has suffered so much; I just don't want him to hurt anymore. To be put back in that room will be bad enough, but to be in there thinking of all the things Akito is doing to kyo. God I fell so cold, why is it so cold all of a sudden? I pull my kitten closer, wrapping my arms around him as if I could steal some of his warmth. As I sit there, my breath gone shallow, my heart squeezed so tight that I can barely think past the pain, I lower my head and I pray to whoever will listen. I say the prayer over and over in my head until my strength leaves me.

I bury my head into kyo's neck and pull my seemly sleeping cat even closer. All I can do now is hold on to him until I'm forced to let go. I slowly take his hand in mine, raising it up to my lips and pressing them to the back of his hand. I know that there my come a day that I'll have to let go of this hand, but for now I'll just keep holding onto it until my fragile snow globe brakes, and I wake from this dream. I slowly lower his hand and press it to my frantic heart, leaning over and lower my face inches from his. How ironically like that name, the prince; and I kiss my sleeping beauty, and I give into the shaking of this snow globe.
