Hey everyone, thanks for all the reviewss :D sorry for the long wait, but so much work been going on… anyway, just to clear things up, Yuki is not the boss hehes, sorry if I made it seem that way O_O anyway, just read on and you'll see what I mean.
Chapter VI - Still Leaving?
Tohru followed Yuki all the way to a large mansion and found herself gawking with wonder and amazement at the beauty of the giant sized house. She gaped at it and said with a dazed look on her face,
"Wow... this house is so beautiful..."
Yuki smiled with a prince like manner and bowed gently, then he pointed to the door,
"The inside is even better."
Tohru's eyes widened and felt the excitement build up since she had never been inside an actual mansion before. She went up the white marble steps and stopped at the front of the house, waiting for Yuki to open the door. He stepped in front of her and she felt herself gulp as Yuki turned the golden knob on the nicely polished door. He opened up the door to uncover a giant room with a bunch of the same masked men that had attacked her a few weeks back. Tohru gasped when she realized that she had been deceived and tried to run down the steps but Yuki grabbed her arm and pushed her into the house, shutting the door and locking it behind him. His once warm and welcoming smile was replaced with an emotionless and cold one. She felt her heart beat faster when she felt all the men staring at the two of them while Yuki pushed her down a flight of stairs and into a dark gray basement where there was a lone cellar lying in the corner. She grimaced as he pushed her into the cellar with force, causing her to fall to the dusty ground with tears in her eyes.
Okaa-san... I need strength...
She stared up at Yuki who shut the cell door with a slam and informed her with an emotionless voice,
"I'm sorry... but the boss will see you shortly after he is finished with his lunch."
Tohru sat there with hesitation and finally found her voice to ask,
"Why?"
Yuki whipped his head around to face her and asked,
"What?"
Tohru shook her head with dismay and said with a broken voice,
"Why are you doing this?"
Yuki searched for an answer but found himself drawing a blank,
"Because... because.... I want to,"
Tohru looked into his confused lavender eyes and said with a distraught voice,
"You must be very much in pain right now because when I first met you, I saw that you were a good person. I believe that this isn't who you truly are... I know that you can be so much better than this. I believe that everyone starts off as a good person and I have faith that you are really a kind person underneath this cold exterior that you put on..."
Yuki felt his heart freeze from her words,
A... good person? With these stained hands, how can I be a good person?
Yuki's face fell and he turned away without another word, pondering her gentle words before going up the wooden staircase with feather light steps. Tohru watched as he disappeared up the staircase and let out a shaky breath, anticipating her waiting death.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyo trudged up the marble steps that led to the giant mansion on 42nd street and he knocked loudly on the shining door with the golden knocker. A few seconds later a hyper teenage boy with canary yellow hair opened up the door with a silly smile on his face,
"Ah! Sano-kun, have you taken care of the orange haired boy?"
Kyo stepped into the large room with an extremely high ceiling and grunted in a low voice,
"Yes, I have. We don't have to worry about him anymore."
The boy started to giggle and he pointed out,
"You're voice sounds funny today Sano-kun!"
Kyo felt a swear drop trickle down from his hairline and he said nervously,
"Erm... I think I have a cold coming on..."
The boy smiled gleefully and put his hand to his head in a saluting motion,
"Whatever you say Sano-kun! Anyway, I shall report the good news to the boss!"
He skipped off down the long corridor and into the giant golden doors which was probably where the boss was hidden away. Kyo glanced around and decided he needed to casually question one of these guys to see where Tohru was being kept at the moment. He strolled up to a man with a head of white hair and a splash of black hair underneath and stood in front of the guy to get his attention. When the man finally averted his black eyes into his direction Kyo asked,
"So did we capture the girl yet?"
The man had an empty look in his completely black eyes and finally answered with a monotonous voice,
"Yes... she's in the cellar downstairs."
Suddenly a cold smirk appeared on the man's face and his once empty black eyes now had a murderous glint in them,
"I can't wait to see what the boss does to her. I can't wait..."
Kyo felt himself grit his teeth at the heartless bastard, holding back the will to punch the guy senseless. He cleared his throat and held his hands behind his back, nodding as best as he could. After a while of waiting for the opportune moment he went downstairs as quickly as he could without a sound.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tohru heard soft footsteps coming down the steps and felt her heart thunder in her chest with each step. She gulped, wondering if her time had finally come. She watched with horor as a masked man with a hood over his head walked over to her cell and she couldn't help but blurt out,
"Please... tell me why you want to kill me so badly. My mother was a good person, she meant no harm!"
Kyo rolled his eyes and lifted his chalk white mask so that she could see his true identity. Her hands flew to her mouth in shock when she saw that he wasn't one of the gang members and that it was indeed Kyo. Tohru rushed to the bars so that she was face to face with him and felt a surge of relief and happiness fill her heart.
"Kyo-kun! What are you doing here?"
Kyo frowned and stated,
"What does it look like? I'm here to rescue you,"
Tohru felt her cheeks burst into flames and ahe protested with panic,
"But it's dangerous here!"
Kyo asked with a hurt expression,
"What? You don't want me to be here or something?"
Tohru's eyes dilated and she shook her head vigorously from side to side,
"No, no! You don't know how happy and thankful I am that you're here... but..."
Kyo tilted his head with confusion and repeated her words,
"But?"
Tohru looked down, gripping the metal bars with more strength and asked,
"Why do you risk your life for a girl like me, when we've only known each other for a few months?"
Because I love you...
Kyo put his mask back onto his face and then turned around with a shrug and said quietly,
"I don't know..."
he went back up the stairs with Tohru watching him and praying softly in her mind,
Please don't let anything bad happen to him... I won't forgive myself if he gets hurt.
Kyo was back in the main room and saw that there was now a man with a kimono, who looked unhealthy, sitting in the middle of the room with all the gang members surrounding him in a huddle. Kyo sat down and joined the circle, listening to what was going on. The canary haired boy spoke up cheerfully to the boss,
"Akito-san, what do we do with Kyoko's daughter?"
Akito lay silent and still for a while, letting off a creepy killer aura as he rose from his chair, his arms dangling from side to side. Everyone froze and watched as he just stood there for a while and then he finally said,
"I think... that we should have a little bit of entertainment with Miss Honda."
An eerie smile played on his lips as he motioned for Yuki to fetch the girl from her cellar. Yuki bowed obediently and flew down the steps to the cellar. Kyo gulped and felt his hands squeeze into fists, wondering what this psycho guy was planning on doing to her.
No matter what... I'll protect her. No matter what.
The gang began to cheer and clap when Yuki pushed the girl into the middle of the circle where Akito stood with the same smile pasted on his sickly white skin. In one quick movement he grabbed a fistful of Tohru's hair and she whimpered as she felt the hot tears leaking down her face. Akito pulled her hair towards him so that her face was right beneath his and he asked dangerously,
"Why are you crying?"
He grazed a stone cold finger on top of her milky white skin and brushed up a salty tear from her eyes. He then brought it to his mouth and licked off the tear from his finger. After tasting the tear drop he immediately spat it out onto the ground and threw her to the ground as well. She winced as her arms saved her from falling face first to the floor. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said with pure disgust and hatred,
"Filthy..."
Tohru cried hopelessly on the ground and hugged her stomach,
"My mother never did anything to you...she was a kind person..."
Akito kicked her in the back so that she fell face flat onto the ground,
"Shut up you filthy maggot! She was a traitor, and so are you!"
That kick was the last straw for Kyo as he rose from his spot, blind with fury. Everyone watched as he stood up and shot him wierd looks. He then ripped off his mask and let his hood fall down to reveal his fire colored hair and crimson eyes to the world. They all stared in shock as Kyo lunged at Akito, but someone's strong grip held him back. He turned to see a pair of chilling violet eyes stare into his enraged crimson ones.
"Get the fuck offa me, pretty boy!"
The boy twisted Kyo's arms behind his back and brought him up to Akito as if he were some prize. Akito let his smile grow into a cruel grin. He wagged a bony finger in Kyo's face and said with a little laugh,
"Such a bad boy we have here... intruding in our business. You'll pay..."
Kyo struggled but Yuki was powerful as hell. Akito leaned down and picked up a quivering Tohru onto her feet,
"Now you'll watch your woman die in front of your own eyes, won't that be fun?"
Tohru sniffed loudly and said weakly,
"Please...let him go, he has nothing to do with this. Kill me if you have to but don't hurt him."
Kyo growled and finally wrenched out of Yuki's grasp, elbowing him hard in the stomach. Yuki fell back a little, giving Kyo the chance to kick Akito in the head. Akito held his head with pain and screamed out to the rest of the gang members,
"Get this fucking nuisance out of my sight!!"
They all rose from their spots and surrounded Kyo. Kyo turned 360 degrees around to see that he was in fact completely surrounded.
Alright Kyo, time to kick some ass.
Tohru's eyes widened as Akito held her back from the crowd that was closing in on Kyo. She struggled to get out of his grasp but couldn't. Tears spilled from her eyes as she screamed out with all her strength,
"NOO!!!!!"
Akito smiled malignantly and said wickedly,
"Sit back and watch Honda-san."
She closed her eyes and tried to get out of his grasp again, but couldn't, she wanted to save him...desperately.
Kyo heard Tohru's scream, making his adrenaline level rise as the first guy swung at him with a flailing fist. Kyo ducked and while he was laying low he tripped a few guys so that they fell to the floor. Kyo kicked a bunch of other guys in front of him but the man with black and white hair caught him by the neck from behind and strangled him. Kyo choked for a split second and then he dug his fingers into the guy's skin and screamed as he flipped the man to the ground, knocking him out. Kyo yelled as he dodged a barrage of fists that came in his direction and began to slice at them with the knife that he had pilfered from the man he had beaten up before. Kyo now resorted to sticking the knife into anyone that came at him. After a long while of fighting he gained many scratches, bruises, and cuts, but succeeded in beating up all the surrounding men, except for one. The violet haired pretty boy. Akito smiled and thought to himself,
No one can beat Yuki...
Yuki put his fists up in a fighting stance and Kyo wiped some blood trickling down his lip, not sure if he had the stamina to fight this last guy.
Damn... this guy doesn't even have a scratch on him.
"Now you fight me..."
said Yuki icily as he ran toward Kyo with lightning fast speed. Kyo didn't even see the flying punch that hit him square in the jaw, all he felt was the pain and the blood fly through the air. His eyes widened from the pain and he flew backwards from the strength of the punch.
What the hell is this guy?!
While he was still falling backwards Yuki delivered an ax kick with the same graceful speed, sending Kyo flying to the ground. Yuki walked over to the fainted body and stared down at it with a poker face.
Akito watched with amusement and whispered into Tohru's ear,
"Wasn't that fun?"
Tohru couldn't feel herself breath anymore as she looked at Kyo's unmoving and injured body.
Kyo... Kyo.... Kyo!!!
Yuki grabbed the knife from Kyo's lifeless hand and raised it in the air, ready to stab him. Tohru's eyes widened and she squeezed her eyes shut,
"STOP!!!!!!!"
Yuki's hand stopped midway because of her high pitched scream, and he looked at the crying girl that was being held captive by Akito. Akito shot Yuki an angry glare and asked with a booming tone,
"What the hell are you doing Yuki?! Kill him!!"
Yuki felt his hand start to tremble a little when he remembered the heart warming words that the girl had given to him before... for the first time in his life he was beginning to realize another self that he had never known about before.
"You must be very much in pain right now because when I first met you, I saw that you were a good person. I believe that this isn't who you truly are... I know that you can be so much better than this. I believe that everyone starts off as a good person and I have faith that you are really a kind person underneath this cold exterior that you put on..."
Her words had stuck to him like glue and he felt his knees begins to shake along with his hands, thinking back on all the times he had stained his once clean hands with blood. He felt himself suddenly drenched in all his own guilt and innocent people's blood. He dropped the knife to the ground and clutched his head with anguish and confusion. Akito stomped on the floor like a child and yelled out with an indignant voice,
"What are you doing?!?!!!"
Yuki raised his shaking hands to his face, ignoring Akito's voice and pictured his fingers covered in blood...he couldn't take the killing business anymore. This wasn't who he truly was. Tohru watched all of this take place and thought to herself,
He's realizing... the person he is really meant to be...
Akito threw Tohru to the ground and she let out a little grunt when she landed. Akito rushed over to where Yuki was and snatched the knife from the ground,
"If you're not doing it then I will!"
Tohru's eyes widened with horror and she jumped to the rescue, grabbing Akito's raised arm with the knife in it. He screamed like a mental person and yelled crazily,
"Let go bitch!!"
Tohru held on with all the strength she wielded and finally felt the courage rise from beneath her heart,
"I won't let go!! I won't let you kill him..."
Akito screamed with pure anguish and swayed his arm furiously while Yuki watched with wide eyes, lost in his confusion.
"LET GOOO!!!!"
He swung his hands so hard that Tohru flew off of him and slid across the floor, banging her head against the wall. She felt her vision blurring as she begged weakly to Kyo,
"Kyo-kun... please... wake up,"
then she fainted. Akito gripped the knife again and then just as he stabbed downward Kyo's eyes flew open at the sound of Tohru's angelic voice. He rolled to the other side so that the knife stabbed only the floor. Kyo jumped up from the ground and saw an angry Akito chase after him with the knife. Kyo growled angrily and kicked the knife right out of his hand and said fiercly,
"You touched Tohru with your disgusting hands... I won't forgive you!!!"
Kyo sent his hardest punch into Akito's face, making it bleed all over. Akito fell to the ground with red liquid pouring down the sides of his face. The knife rolled from his twitching fingers and then he fainted without a word. Kyo glared at Yuki who was staring at the scene with despair in his eyes. Kyo walked over to him and said in a repulsed voice,
"And you... you are just as filthy and disgusting..."
Yuki bowed his head down and then said softly,
"I deserve to die... kill me."
Kyo was taken aback by his command and thought that he was mocking him so he sent a hard punch right into the guy's delicate face. Yuki fell to the floor without even fighting back and repeated,
"Kill me... kill me..."
Kyo put his foot on top of Yuki's chest and said dangerously,
"I won't kill you... but I will beat the crap out of you."
A lone tear streaked down the boy's face as Kyo kicked him in the head ruthlessly, making him faint. Kyo sighed with relief and surveyed the room, grimacing at the mess of bodies that lay on the ground. His eye suddenly caught on a fainted Tohru who was also laying on the ground near the wall. He rushed to her side and picked her up, shaking her gently,
"Tohru! Wake up!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tohru opened her eyes slowly and felt the moonlight pour into her squinting eyes.
Where am I?
When her eyes finally got it's full sight back, she found that she was back in her own room and wondered if it was all a dream, but then she saw Kyo walk into the room and felt all the memories flood back into her head. Kyo saw her awake and sat down next to her on the bed,
"You're awake... I'm glad."
Tohru put her hands to her forehead and asked,
"What...happened?"
Kyo brushed a strand of chocolate hair from her face and he said softly,
"They're all in jail now... so you never have to worry ever again. I told you I'd rescue you."
Tohru saw his vacant hand lay on top of the bed and wrapped her fingers around his hand. He blushed a petal rose color and saw her eyes suddenly lock onto the giant cut on his shoulder. She gasped and moved her hands from his, placing them on top of the wound,
"You're going to need a bandage!"
Kyo smirked and replied,
"You don't have any bandages, remember?"
Tohru blushed and then remembered the bandana in her pocket. She reached into her jacket pocket and took out his black bandana and wrapped it around his injury with one swift knot. Kyo looked to his side to see the bandana that had once been on her wound now covering his. He lifted up his left hand to place his hand over her hands that were still on his shoulder. He felt a smile tug at his lips and he saw Tohru smile back at him with a cherry colored face. They sat there for a while just looking into each other's eyes, not wanting to say a word. Tohru then felt a strange sense of melancholy feelings conquer her happiness. Tohru pursed her lips together and slipped her hands out of his warm hands and placed them on top of the bedspread. Kyo blinked a couple of times and asked,
"What's wrong?"
Tohru could barely speak right now so she said with a soft whisper,
"I have to go now."
Kyo scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion and asked,
"Where? You live here, remember?"
Tohru shook her head sadly and looked at him with her sad brown eyes,
"To America."
