Kyo's eyes darted to Akito. "What did you say...?"

"Pull the plug," Akito repeated with no remorse.

"Hatori...where's Kureno?"

"I believe he went to the restroom. Why?" Hatori answered.

"Then that's too damn bad for Akito!" Kyo growled as he lunged at the clan head. Kyo successfuly pinned Akito to the ground. "There's no way in hell that I'm letting you kill Kagura! I care abou ther too much for her to die! I LOVE her too much for her to die!" Kyo raised his fist and brought it down, hitting the groung next to Akito's face. "I won't let you...."

Kureno walked in at that moment and saw the scene. He began to run towards Akito but was stopped by Shigure.

"I won't let you kill her..." Kyo kept repeating as tears filled his eyes, "I won't let you..."

Akito's face remained expressionless as Kyo's tears landed on his cheeks. Slowley a smile, an evil smile, appeared on his lips and he began to laugh. "Do you really think I'm going to listen to anything you say? Just because you cry? Just because you say you love her? I have the right to do what ever I want to her."

"Why you bastar--" he was about to strike Akito but Yuki grabbed his hand.

"Kyo..." Yuki pulled Kyo off Akito and into a hug. "Don't worry...I won't let him go anywhere near Kagura..."

Everyone in the room widened their eyes in shock. Akito on the otherhand, began to chuckle."Please Yuki, you know that you can't do anything to me. Even if you tried, I'd just have you confined to that room that I had built just for you."

"I don't care. It dosen't matter to me anymore. You can beat me, kill me, do whatever you want. But I'm not going to let you hurt Anyone else. You've already done enough to us to make us all go insane! You're worse than any Devil that has ever crawled out of the depths of hell!" Yuki let go of Kyo and walked over to Aktio, staring hin in the eyes coldly. "Kill Kagura...and I kill you...."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next day came and went slowley. Kyo had stayed behind at the hospital with Kagura, not leaving her side since Akito had left.

Akito.

Akito was actually scared of Yuki's threat.

He knew that he had no power over him anymore. He knew that the years of torture and ounishment had faded away.

'I'll have my revenge,' he thought as Kureno drove him home, 'I'll have my revenge on all of them.'

Shigure sat infront of the television, smoking a cigarette. he heard a knock on the door andput it out as he got up to see who it was. "Ah! Mizu-chan! What a pleasant surprise!"

"Sh-Shigure-sensei? What are you doing here?" she stuttered.

"I live here," he said matter-of-factly.

"Uhm...does a boy named Hatsuharu live here?" she asked timidly.

"Oh! So you're looking for Haru-kun!" he replied," Well he dosen't exactically live here, but he'll be back shortly. Why dont you come in and wait for him."

"Uhm...OK..."she answered, a little unsure.

"I'll go get us some snacks!" he chirped, going into the kitchen. "Highschool girl, highschool girl, all for me, a highschool girl!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Haru sighed as he walked through the woods He had skipped school that day, his head was still too full of everything that happened yesterday. He had bumped into Yuki, Tohru, and Momiji on his way back to the house. They had decided to go to the hospital and check up on Kyo and Kagura.He slid open the door to Shigure's house and his jaw dropped as he saw Mizu sitting in the livingroom.

"Haru!" she greeted with a smile.

"Oh! Haru-kun's back!" stated Shigure.

"What are you doing here?" he asked Mizu.

"Well, you weren't in school today, so I brought you your homework," Mizu answered.

"Oh...thanks," Haru said, blushing a little.

Mizu blushed as well.

Shigure looked at Haru, then Mizu, then back at Haru. "We'll I have some papaer to grade! See the two of you later!" He waved as he retreated to his office, leaving the two confused teens alone.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The hospital was quiet. Eventually the silence would be broken as an emergency rushed in. But for the time being, it was silent.

"Mr. Sohma?"

Kyo looked over as a young nurse walked in. Yuki and the otherd had already left.

"She seems to be responding well to the treatment. She shouldn't have to remain on life suppoet much longer," the nurse stated.

"Really?! Are you sure?!" he asked happily.

"Yes, as long as she dosen't start bleeding internaly again, she should make a full recovery," the nurse finished.

Kyo smiles as tears filled his eyes, "Thank God." He walked back over to Kagura. "Thank God."

The nurse smiled as she left, leaving a happy Kyo, and a sleeping Kagura in peace.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mizu and Haru sat out back of the house after they had finished their homework. Hare had told her all about what happened to Kagura.

"I'm so sorry Haru. I couldn't imagine..."

"Thanks...I'm sure thatshe'll be alright. We all just have to keep positive," he replied with a small smile.

"You don;t have to act so tough you know. You can be yourself around me," Mizu spoke up.

Haru looked at her for a minute then looked down and blushed. "Thank you for bringing my homework. And for talking to me..."

"No problem," she replied while blushing and shyly resting her hand over his. He quickly snatched it away in surprise. "Why don't you like being touched?" she looked down, "I'm sorry, that's your own buisness..."

"It's alright.....it's just...better this way...," he replied.

"What is?" she asked.

"I can't tell you..."

"Oh..." she stood up, "Maybe I should go..." she began to walk away sadly.

He stopped her by grabbing her wirst. "Do you really want to know?" he asked, "It could cost you everything...your memories...our friendship....everything."

"Haru...?"

"Do you want to know?" he repeated.

She stayed slient for a minute beofre answering. "Yes."

He pulled her back and wrapped his arms around her.

*POOF*
