Three's a Crowd

by Mizu + Sin

*~*~*~*~*Chapter 14: Mizu to the Rescue?*~*~*~*~*

The four young girls sat in silence, listening to Mizu's sobs until Sin decided to speak up. "Say, Mizu-chan? Exactically how did you get caught?"

Mizu blinked as she stopped crying. "Well...you see it was like this..." Mizu began as everything went into flashy past mode.

*~*Flashie past mode*~*

"Unhand my friends you evil villains! I am Water Babe! A super hero of love and justice!"

*~*Flashie past mode interrupted*~*

"Baka!" Sin yelled as she smacked Mizu on the back of the head, bringing her back to reality. "Stop ripping off Sailor Moon and tell us what really happened!"

Mizu sniffled, "Fine...and it was Pretty Sammy," she said with a pout. She then laughed nervously as Sin glared. "OK, OK! I'll tell you what really happened!" Mizu complied. "I had jumped the gate in front. I met up with Momiji but got separated a little while after..."

**Mizu's Tale**

"Do do, do do, do do do do do do do do do do....dum dum dum dum!' Mizu crept along while humming her own theme music. She heard a noise and ducked behind a near-by shed where had sat down and covered her eyes.

Footsteps approached and stopped in front of her. "What are you doing here?" a cold voice asked.

"No way! I was covering my eyes! How did you see me?!!"

**End of Mizu's Tale**

"...and now here I am," Mizu finished.

Every girl in the room sweat dropped.

"You hummed your own theme music?!!!!" Sin yelled.

"But...but...," Mizu sniffled.

Kagura sighed. "Anyways, we should try and think of a way to escape."

"That would make Akito even more angry!" Tohru replied.

"But we can't just sit here and wait for something to happen to us!" Kagura yelled. She looked around the room and noticed a small window about the door. "Bingo!"

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

Akito cursed under his breath as he wiped his juice drenched face off with a towel. "Damn that girl," he growled. "I'll be rid of her soon enough.

He sighed as he pulled his face from the towel. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the small group of Sohma men talking outside. He grinned looking out at them from his window.

"So they actually came," he mused. He then frowned noticing the absence of one. "Where could that damn cow be?"

"Closer than you think Akito."

Akito turned around quickly, only to see Hatsuharu standing in the door way.. He was surprised for a moment, then grinned the evil grin we all know too well. "How nice to see you again Hatsuharu."

Haru glared. "Where are they? I swear if you did anything to them--"

"Please don't worry," Akito cut in, "All of them are fine...for now. Miss Mizu's pride is the only thing of hers wounded right now. But when we were bringing Miss Sin, she wouldn't cooperate, so we were forced to inject her with a small dose of anestechic. I'm quite sure the effects have worn off by now though."

"What about Tohru and Kagura?" Haru growled.

"They buth just arrived a short time ago. They're both fine," Akito answered. He then snickered. "I tell you what Hatsuharu. I'll let you pick one of them, your choice, and I'll let her go. Perfectly fine with all of her memories intact."

"One? What are you---wait. You're going to do something to their memories?!" Haru exclaimed.

"Time is running out Hatsuharu," Akito teased, his grin showing more now than ever. "So...which one will it be?"

Haru growled and looked down. "The one I want is...."

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

"Finally! These things may look lite, but they weigh a ton!"

Mizu, Sin, and Tohru had pushed one of the bunkbeds up to the door, so that they could reach the small window above it.

"Alright Mizu, get climbing," Sin ordered.

"What?! What me?!" Mizu protested.

"Because you're the smallest," Sin pointed out.

"Are you calling me flat chested?!" Mizu screached.

Sin blinked. "No...but now that you mention it..."

"No fair! Mine are bigger than Tohru's!!" Mizu yelled.

Tohru went pale and sweat dropped.

Sin took a deep breath and let out a sigh. "I didn't mean that you have a small chest Mizu, I was just saying that you're thin and could probably fit through the easiest."

"You think I'm skinny?" Mizu asked.

"Of course I do! I would Kill to look like you," Sin said happily.

"Alright then! I'll do it!" Mizu exclaimed, striking a Sailor V pose. She then climed up the small ladder to the top bunk. "Hey guys! There's metal bars on the other side of the glass!"

"Great! What are we going to do now?!" Kagura growled.

Just then the girls heard music playing.

"Is that the theme song to Kingdom Hearts?" Sin asked.

"Oh! That's my cell phone!" Mizu stated, pulling the small phone out of her pocket. "Hello? Oh hi Usagi! What? No we're Ok. We're just being held captive at the Sohma's house. Huh? OK. See you then! Bye bye!" Mizu then hung up the phone. "It was Usagi. She was just wondering if we were alright."

"You've had that this whole time?!!!" Sin growled.

"Uhm....oops?"

Sin grabbed the phone and dialed a number then sweat dropped. "The battery just died..."

Tohru sighed. "What terrible luck."

They moved the bed back against the wall then sat down and began to think again.

Just then, the door unlocked and opened quickly.

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

Shigure walked back up the main path to his house. He had hid a spare key to Akito's house under his futon. It was the only way for him and the others to get into the house without having to break in.

Upon approaching his home, he noticed that the door had been torn up, (Not by Yuki or Kyo for once). He ran into the house and saw that the rooms had been completely torn apart, and a few spots of blood decorated the floor.

"Mii?!! Mine?!!"

Shugure went into panic as he searched the entire house for the women. Fear filled his entire body when he couldn't find them anywhere. He picked up the phone and dialed Ayame's cell number.

"Aya! They're gone! He took them!" They're gone!...." he sank to the floor, small sobs escaping from his lips, "They're gone..."

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

The four young girls looked up as three more girls were shoved into the room.

Tohru quickly got up and ran over to them. "Mii-san! Mine-san!....Uo-chan?!"

Another older girl stepped in, glaring at all of the others.

Kagura's eyes narrowed. "Rin...."

Sin perked up. "What?" she looked at the girl and sighed. "Oh...your not my sister."

The horse of the zodiac turned to leave but looked back for a moment. "The one with the glasses got hurt. You might want to bandage the wound." She then left, locking the door behind her.

"Tohru-kun, what's going on?" Uo asked as she sat up.

"Yes. Please explain what is going on," Mine repeated, holding onto her injured arm.

Mizu looked out the window and sighed. "It has to do with the curse dosen't it...?" She asked sadly. "So this is what he meant....it could cost me everything..."

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

Shigure panted heavily the entire way back to the main house. After grabbing the key, he had ran the entire way back.

The others were waiting at the side entrance.

He held up the key with a happy grin and unlocked the door. Then they all entered the house.

"We had better keep quiet. We don't want Akito to know that we're here," Yuki stated.

"No shit you damn rat!" Kyo whispered loudly.

"Kyo? Kyo?! Is that you?!"

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

Kagura knew that voice. She could spot Kyo's voice even if he was standing in a crowd of a hundred people.

"Kyo?!" She yelled through the door.

"Is that...? Kagura?" Kyo asked, sliding a door open. "Kagura!" Kyo ran over to the bed she was sitting on and hugged her.

"Miss Honda!"

Tohru looked up and her eyes widened, "Yuki-kun!"

"Mii-chan!"

"Shigure!"

"Mine-chan!"

"Ayame-san!"

"Mizu-chan!"

"Momiji-kun!"

Ritsu was the last to walk into the room....and he accidentily closed the door behind him.

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I'm suck a failure! I can't do anything right! I don't deserve to live!" Ritsu shrieked.

"For the love of God shut up!" Kyo yelled.

"Shit...this sure is one hell of a pinch we're in...."

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

Haru glared at Akito, still in thought. "The one I choose is--"

He was cut off as he was grabbed from behind by Kureno.

"Let me go you son of a--"

"Why don't we go see our loving family," Akito suggested. "From the way things sound, they seem to be having quite the little party."

The three men walked down the hall, slowly at Akito's pace. Akito then opened the door and they stepped into the room.

Mizu looked up from hugging Momiji. "Haru!"

Everyone went quiet as all eyes went to Akito. Haru looked away as Kureno kept a tight hold of him.

"Kureno-kun...?"

Kureno's eyes widened at the voice, and he looked up to see Uo stepping out of the bathroom. "Arisa?!"

Akito smirked. "My, my, my, what a happy little reunion we have here.

This remark only earned his glares and cold stares from the occupants in the room.

"Oh my, why are you all getting mat at me for? The people you should be mad at, the very people responsible for this curse, is them," Akito said while pointing at Mizu and Sin.

Their eyes widened.

"What?!"

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

Sin: Dum Dum Dum! Oh dear, I seem to have left you off at another cliff hanger. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! *coughs* Anywayz, please R+R! Sorry this chapter took so long to get up, promise to get the next one up sooner!
