Monday, school. I sighed as we walked towards it. "Are you OK Tohru?" Yuki asked.
"Just tired." I replied, couldn't help but smile as he said my name. I really did like it. Behind us Rin and Kyo were arguing over the fact that Rin may have burnt his breakfast while she denied it, but she really did. "Those two just don't stop." Yuki said. I agree.
"Hey Tohru." Momiji greeted us as we entered the gates. Hatsuharu, Arisa, and Hana were there as well. I also noticed Takuya, I guess he was going to this school as well.
"Hi guys." "Do I want to know?" Arisa questioned, staring at the two argue. I shook my head. "Probably not." She shrugged and smiled. "Let's get to class before we are late." We all walked and separated from Momiji and Hatsuharu when I noticed something from the corner of my eye.
I knew it.
"Hey you guys go on ahead; I forgot to grab my homework." They all looked at me with worry. "I can come with you." Yuki offered.
"Oh no, at this rate you will be late to class. Do not worry I'll be just a second." What a lie. They hesitated but nodded. "OK, we will see you in there."
I smiled and nodded, walking away. I looked over my shoulder and when they were out of sight, I began running. I knew he was following me; I just need to make it outside. The minute I hit the grass I jumped out of the way just in time as a knife appeared. "So you noticed me coming." Taro snickered, jumping off a nearby tree and picked up his knife; I backed away. "I could tell you saw me coming."
"Cat or not, you're still my brother, and you were always predictable." I replied.
He shrugged, extending his claws. "So dear sister, father just arrived and is settling down at our new house. You should come over sometime, if you aren't killed."
"As if I would ever go back." I held my arms.
He smirked and then charged at me.
One thing about Taro was he wasn't smart when it came to his attacks. All he was doing was slicing at me, which I would dodge easily. Was he saving his energy? He ended up slicing bushes and trees and even some dirt. "You can't keep dodging Tohru, come on, and use your power." He aimed right for me.
He asked for it. I held out my hand and a purple light shot out at him, hitting him in the chest and throwing him to the ground. He landed with a big thump. I was surprised to see him laughing. "That was the only thing you would do to me when we used to fight. It really is annoying. I know you can do a lot more spells Tohru. Don't hold back, show me what you got." He yelled, loud enough for someone to hear. The school could not know about this, they already were going to see the mess we made. Before I could say anything I heard the bell ring. Oh no, lunch.
I ran at him to his surprise and was able to latch on to his stomach. "Go." I shouted and then the school disappeared and we were in some part of the forest. I jumped off but not in time before he swung his claws and caught my leg. I cried as the three slash marks were now bleeding. I couldn't heal them now, not with him here. "Now, will that motivate you to use your powers?" he smirked; that damn smirk.
I glared, standing up. "Fine then, Taro." I saw the slashes of light swirl around me; he got into a fight stance. "Let's do this."
YUKI'S POV
"Tohru isn't back yet." Rin whispered to Arisa during class. I was worried; Tohru left us at least an hour ago, and class was almost over. "Where could she be?" Could it be, no, no way. When the bell rang we rushed out to find here when we saw a bunch of students gasping, shrieking as they headed out side. We went too and gasped as well. The bushes were cut, the trees had slashes on them, and the ground had a skid area as if someone pushed really hard. "Taro." Hana said.
Arisa began cussing. "He fucking came to the school, that's why Tohru left us; we should have went with her. Fuck."
"Arisa calm down." Rin said but she too looked angry and sad.
"Tohru must have used her teleportation to transport her and Taro away from the school." Tohru was with him?
"We have to find her."
"Yuki, we can't." Rin said looking to the ground. "We don't know where they are and we are forbidden from entering the battle in any way. Only during timeouts and breaks can we interfere." Are you serious? Tohru's out there with a madman who wants her dead and they want us to sit around and do nothing? "I'm sorry Yuki." I glared and looked away. Tohru, wherever you are, please please be safe.
"He came to the school?" Tani yelled. "And you guys did nothing?"
"He must have been hiding; Tohru saw him and left to confront him." Arisa replied. Tani sighed and put her head on the table. "This is bad, very bad. And Haruki and the rest of the family have moved in. As I heard from Yumi the younger ones will be starting school tomorrow." The younger ones, how many were there?
"It will just be Kamiko and Masaki, so we should be alright." Hana said. Kamiko and Masaki?
"What about Tohru?" I demanded.
"Calm it rat, there is nothing we can do but hope they take a time out or break. If so Tohru will come back here." I can't wait for a freaking break.
Tohru, Tohru.
