Tohru's Curse

Chapter 25:

AKITO

Akito's eyes blinked open, and then closed. He pushed himself up, "Where the heck am I?"

The Sohmas were awakened from their thoughts when Akito started to move. "Finally," most of them sighed as Akito woke from where he had been sleeping.

All of the Sohmas crowded around Akito and waited for him to completely awaken. Akito finally realizing where he was felt very oozy inside.

"What do you want from me?" asked Akito said smiling. His servants wouldn't go against them, they would walk behind him and support him, and if they didn't they would pay.

"We want to know how to get sissy back to normal." Said Kisa in a small voice.

"Yah Akito, we aren't afraid of someone as weak as you now tell us or Mr. Squeakers gets it!" Said Uo pulling Akito's cuddly bear from behind.

Akito not caring one bit about the bear, as he didn't care about anything but himself said, "Not Mr. Squeakers!"

Uo ripped the head off of the smiling bear. Akito laughed maniacally inside his mind, they had no idea.

"Now tell us how to get Tohru back to her human state!"

"Fine… Fine…" Akito started.

"Well…" Everyone said in unison.

Akito made a run for it; but unfortunately Kyo was behind him with a giant two by four and knocked the thin man out.

"Great, now we have to wait till he wakes up again." Said Uo angry that the man was knocked out but happy that he didn't get away again.

"Now what?" asked Yuki curiously.

Hatori walked over to the group, "Tohru needs to be revived and soon."

"What do you mean by soon, does it matter when?" Asked Katsuya worrying about his daughter.

"Yes, we need to know how to revive her soon, as in within the hour, or else she will… will…"

"Will what?" Asked Yuki

"Die…"

Everyone was quiet, "Akito, you stupid idiot wake up." Whispered Hana.

The room was very tense in waiting for Akito to wake, if he didn't wake up soon then there would be no more Tohru; and they weren't even sure if she could come back down like her parents if she did in fact. Especially since the last time that they had heard a noise was so long ago, and there was no hint of motion or sound from the creature that use to be their beloved Tohru.

It had been about 45 minutes since the news from which Hatori gave his estimate, and they were all screaming in their minds trying to not think about it too badly. Kyo was sick of the silence and walked over to Akito and grabbed the unconscious man. "Wake up Akito! Wake up!" Kyo yelled at Akito's body. The body moved suddenly and then stirred, they really needed Akito to wake up and soon.

Everyone ran over to him and started shaking him with pure anger, screaming in his face.

Akito found himself totally conscious again, and was forced once again into an intense question.

"Akito, tell us the cure now, or else."

"Or else what you'll kill another teddy bear?" Akito laughed to himself.

"Or else… if…" Kyo started.

"If what monster?"

"If you don't tell us now…"

"Your to scared to say it aren't you monster, your too afraid to say it in front of all of these people, well come on say it, you know you want to."

Tohru was holding on, she was fighting off the darkness that surrounded her, she wanted out, she wanted to go back to living with her mom at home, she wanted her father to have never had died. She wanted to go home.
