Tohru's Curse
Chapter 28:
Whispers
Police cars surrounded the scene, calling for an ambulance as they swerved onto the median. They were shocked when they had seen the car flip in the air. They were unsure if any of the two people were alive in the car, and if they were how were they holding up. Meanwhile inside the car Kyo and Akito were squabbling for the doors which were smashed together and almost impossible to open. Akito was practically dead and could barely move although his attempts were actually kind of working. Akito finally gave up when he was getting dizzy and could barely breathe. Kyo kept at it, he didn't want to die in a car with Akito.
Everyone in the room was quiet, lost in their thoughts. If Tohru died many of them would die mentally, knowing that they would never see her smiling face again, never seeing her laugh with glee, or taste her wonderful food. Although they had always "loved" Tohru, they never really thought about how different their lives would have been without Tohru in it. And now Kyo was gone to. No matter how much any of them had hated or disliked him they couldn't help but feel sorry for the soon to be confined cat. But little did they know at that time Kyo was confined to a car, stuck in it with a dying Akito, but him with as little as a few bruises. But that may have been because of one of the things that his mother had told him before he had left the special "world."
Kyo, you are going to get in an accident as soon as you transfer back into that car. If you stay seated in your seat the chances of you surviving are slim to none. You need to crawl into the feet are in front of your seat and hold on; fasten yourself to whatever you can, but hold on for dear life, for if you don't you won't have a life no more. Tears trickled down the mothers face as Kyo walked over to comfort the young women who he called mom.
As soon as Kyo found himself back inside the car, he put his mother's words into action. He crawled down into the foot seat area and wrapped his arms around the foot of Akito's seat. He put his legs up against the door and closed his eyes waiting for the crash to happen. It was moments later that Kyo could hear Akito screaming and a crunch as the car hit he ground and everything was at silence. At first Kyo thought that he was dead and Akito was to, but when he opened his eyes there was his legs ad feet and his hands and arms gripped around the edge of Akito seat. He managed to get up in the crunched car which now lie upside down and wound his way through the seats to see if Akito was still alive. Akito lay there breathing heavily as blood trickled down his head in a light stream. He moaned in his uncomfortable position.
The ambulance arrived soon and workers started to try to pry open the doors. Kyo finally realized that he no longer needed to try to work at the door because there were other people doing that for him. But when he noticed smoke coming from behind his seat, his eyes widened and he started banging on the door trying to get it open. After about 15 minutes the car was getting clogged up with smoke and it was getting hard for Kyo to breath, but with one last blow he managed to get the car door open. He scrambled out trying to get some fresh air and to breath. He practically collapsed on the ground before medical workers to him to the ambulance and gave him water, for he was in need of no other treatment. Meanwhile with one door open the workers still had to get Akito, who was about to fall unconscious. They rushed him out of the smoke filled car and lay him on a stretcher. Medical workers rushed him to the ambulance for he was in worse condition than Kyo had been. But as he passed Kyo, he waved up his hand trying to say stop. The medical workers thought about it and then stopped for a few seconds.
"Kyo…" Akito's voice was extremely hoarse. "I have to tell you how to cure Tohru."
Time was growing short has everyone stared at Tohru. Many of them started to cry, including Kyoko and Katsuya. Tohru's being stirred and everyone gasped. But then it was still once more. Many of them sighed, knowing that she was still alive, but for how long?
"Kyo… its," Akito's eyes fell closed, "It's…"
Sorry that that chapter was shorter than usual, and sorry once again for taking so long to update. I have to make myself update sooner, but I do admit it's a lot harder to update during the school year than during the summer. Please review and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
