Chapter 4:
"Yuki, where's Kyou, it's not like him to miss dinner, especially when it's cooked by the beautiful and lovely, innocent and pure, kind and-" Shigure was interrupted.
"Stop talking about Tohru like that! You know you're not going to get what you want from her, even she wanted to give it to you, you'd turn into a dog! And why should I care where that damn cat has gone, hopefully he's killed himself, or returned to the mountains where he belongs, either way is fine with me." Yuki sat himself at the table.
"What? Kyou is gone! But... he never misses when I make a special dinner for him. I made leek stew for all of you, but he doesn't like leeks, so I made salmon for him, his favorite. Where could he be?" Tohru's eyes began to tear.
Yuki sighed and stood up, "I'm sure he's just being very unappreciative of the wonderful gift we've been bestowed. Tohru, just ignore him, he's always inconsiderate." He put his hand on her shoulder.
Tohru began to cry, "No, he's nice to me. He loves it when I make salmon for him. Something's wrong, we have to find him!" She pushed Yuki away and ran to the door.
Yuki was stunned; he didn't even notice he was falling. No girl had ever pushed him away. Shigure noticed a small jewel fall out from inside Yuki's shirt; gravity was pulling it to the ground faster than it was pulling Yuki. It was sure to shatter the moment it hit the ground. Shigure turned to see Tohru rush out the door, but he then dove at Yuki and caught him.
"What?" Yuki seemed to shake out of a trance.
"You love her, don't you?" Shigure helped Yuki stand again.
"Am I that obvious?"
"Not to her, but I can see it. You could get any girl you wanted, but the one girl to push you away seems to be the one you do want, that's why you were so stunned."
Yuki said nothing.
"You almost broke your necklace." Yuki looked down to see the necklace dangling outside of his shirt, and he quickly stuffed it back in. "Come Yuki, we must find her before she lands herself in trouble." Shigure headed for the door.
Yuki sighed and muttered, "She has a knack for that," and followed Shigure.
"Stand back Akina, I'll fight him," Kyou removed his overshirt and tossed it to Akina to hold.
"Ha! Planning on fighting me boy? You have always been too rash; I just wanted to speak with the two of you. And if you fight me, I could always break your necklace, how would that make you feel?"
Kyou took a step back from Akito and put his hand around his neck. Suddenly he smiled, remembering, "I'm not wearing it Akito, I realized that it won't kill me not to wear it, and seeing as it can break so easily, not wearing it seems to be a good thing."
"Before you attack me Kyou, sit down, let's talk. Would either of you be interested in a rice ball, it's late, and I'm sure you haven't had dinner yet."
Kyou cautiously sat down, but shook his head at the rice ball offered to him. Akina followed suit. Akito shrugged and ate it.
"It's late, so I'll just get to the point. You two are no longer allowed to see each other, that's my sentence to you, and let no one tell you otherwise. It is 7:30 now, you have until 8:15 for your goodbyes, if you socialize after that, I will see that Akina is killed." Kyou gasped; Akito continued, "You cannot see each other any more. Go now."
Kyou was speechless; Akina put her hand on his shoulder, but he threw it off. "You bastard, how could you be so heartless? I'm the cat, not even part of the family, you shouldn't have a say in what I do with my life!"
"Maybe you should go, before I make the sentence worse and kill her on the spot." Akito sounded aggravated.
Kyou lunged at Akito, but Akina pushed him aside, and moments later, Akito was on the floor with a black eye and a bloody nose. Akina stepped back, looked at her fist, and ran. Kyou followed soon after, "Akina! Wait!"
A/n: See, it's better now! ( I really wasn't sure where I was going with this chapter, but I think it came to a good point, I hope you guys like it. I'm going to be in a car for about 3 hours today, without Internet connection, so I'll probably be able to write the next chapter. Bye!
