Recap:

"Goodnight Tohru." "Night Kyo." I mutter, pretending to sleep as I lie down next to him. Soon, he falls asleep while I stare at the ceiling, awaiting whatever the first sign is. I look out the window and see the full moon rise. Immediately after a feeling of ecstasy begins to flood my whole body under the warmth of Kyo's body that had unfortunately come closer to my body.

'It has begun.'


'I can't sleep!' I sigh in frustration as I move Kyo's arm from around my waist, gritting my teeth as I prevent myself from moaning at the momentary touch of our skin. 'I can't do this for a night, let alone for three days.' I remove myself from my bed and make my way to the bathroom to shower, grabbing more clothes to change in to on the way. As soon as I enter the bathroom, I close the door softly and lock it.'I hope Kyo, doesn't wake up. That would be really bad.' I quickly make my way to the shower and turn the cold water on blast. 'I don't know if sitting in cold water will help, but I'll try it for maybe 15 minutes.'


15 minutes later


'This almost helps but my body is burning from the inside!' I mentally scream as I lay submerged in the bathtub. My body is beginning to warm the water so I guess...

*doorknob rattles*

I immediately sit up, making myself momentarily dizzy. 'Who's messing with the door?' I slowly stand up in the bathtub as the doorknob rattles again but a bit more violently than the first. I step out of the tub quietly and quickly throw on my clothes, that now consists of a pink button-up shirt and khaki shorts. The doorknob rattling soon turned into banging on the bathroom door.

"Tohru, are you alright?" I sigh in relief at the sound of Kyo's worried voice. For a second there, I thought it was Senshi trying to get in. 'Don't be so quick to let down your guard Tohru. Let your senses spread throughout your entire room.' Byakko advises. I close my eyes and listen closely to the sounds outside of the bathroom. Far from the door I can hear a steady and slow heartbeat... In front of the door I can hear a heartbeat louder than my own standing right in front of the door.

"Tohru?" I bare my teeth at the impersonator standing on the other side of the door.

"Get away from the door please?" I say in a polite tone as I step towards the door. 'Oh this is a time for Kuroko to take my place.' The wishful thought seems to be heard as a hand comes down on my shoulder.

"Did someone call for a decoy?" I smile as I turn around in time to see Kuroko shift into me. I smile gleefully as I hug 'him'.

"Thank you so much." I whisper as I shift into a shadow and swiftly move into the room as Kuroko opens the door. As I can see Senshi has shifted into Kyo and the red eyes that belong to my beloved, are dark with wrath. Kuroko's own, after taking my form are a darker blue.

"What took you so long to open the door, Tohru?"

"I was getting dressed." 'What should we do now Tohru? Give me a second and I'll get rid of him. Just turn back into a kitsune when I give you the signal. Okay.'

"Well then let's get back into bed." 'Kyo' says and 'Tohru' nods her head in agreement. I silently shift into back into human form and form a lightning bolt in my hand. 'Kyo' and 'Tohru' turn around to face me.

"Wait, what?" 'Kyo' asks. 'Now? Now.' 'Tohru immediately turns into a black kitsune and runs to my side, grinning. Immediately after I throw the lightning bolt at 'Kyo' who immediately disappears before it hits him.

'Curse you Tohru.' I laugh as I high-five Kuroko, who leaves afterwards. I look at the still sleeping Kyo and then to my bedroom door. The very feeling of Kyo being near me is making my whole body heat up again. And... embarrassingly enough... my womanhood... is getting... aroused. I cover my face in silent embarrassment. 'Thank god Kyo is asleep!' I walk towards my bedroom door and open it, walking out and closing it behind me.

I walk downstairs to the living room and sit on the couch... only to hop back up from pain in my backside. I look behind me and see my fox tail sticking out of my khaki shorts. 'I don't even have to touch the top of my head to know that my ears are out as well.' I fix my shorts so that my tail goes through a hole in the shorts. I sit down again but this time a bit more carefully. 'I'll wait out the night. This is only bad when I'm around Kyo... so maybe I won't have to stay in my room. Maybe.' I shrug and turn on the television and turn the volume down so that no one will hear it. It'd be bad if someone came down and saw me.' I stretch out on the couch and fold my arms behind my head.

"Tohru?" I hear the soft voice of Kisa as her soft footsteps come down the stairs. 'Why is Kisa-chan awake?'

"Yes? What's wrong Kisa?" I ask softly as the little girl makes her way to me. I lift her into my lap as she quietly yawns.

"I had a bad dream." Kisa mutters softly resting her head against my chest. I immediately began to get worried. 'With Senshi around, nightmares are bad things.'

"What was it about?" I ask softly, rocking her back and forth as she began to tremble in my arms.

"In it... Tohru and everyone else... dies. An evil man kills them." Kisa trembles a little as she recalls her nightmare. Eventually she falls back asleep so I just hold her in my arms, slightly rocking her. 'Senshi you bastard. Scaring a child like this... You and Micah will pay.'
