Thank you for all the reviews. Obviously you haven't read a story with twists to it. Keep reading to find out what really happened to Kyo. You'll hate me.
Joflower: Hope is a evil word.
Kerri: Hey, hey, hey, I didn't hurt Kyo; Akito did. lol
Iloveshigurethedog: Yes, I've seen the end a couple hundred times, but that talk with Akito doesn't make him any more or less evil than he was. That's funny way to put it, true a cat has nine lives.
Princess of Darkness and me: Don't worry, I won't hold it against you. There are a few that won't admitt it, but they want Kyo to die to. They just want a twisted story and they want to know what will happen to Tohru if Kyo is no longer around. It's okay, complements.
Kyoskitten: If you have any time, give me the definetion of Angsty? I'm confused, I think I know what you mean but I still would like to fully understand it.
Shippo09113: thanks, I'm glade you do.
Riversong: I would do that too if I didn't wright the story. lol
Ami-hime: Okay, the time has come for you to find out what happens to Kyo and what Akito will do. On that last part, you won't find out until the next chappie, sorry.
lynsey: Hey, just think what will happen if he doesn't. Doesn't that get you mind pounding?
okay enough of my babbling, onto the story.

Chapter 6 Elliot
As hope clung to her heart and fear drug her mind into the ground. She watched Kyo in her lap as he lay restless. His hand in hers was beginning to become a lot weaker in his grasp. Kyo's eyes opened slowly as he placed his bloody hand on her face. Tohru gasped at the sudden touch. She looked down and greeted him with a warm smile.
"I'm sorry," He started, but he was stopped by Tohru's kiss. She felt his kiss respond. She smiled slowly as tears fell slowly from her eyes. Kyo stopped and saw the tears. He quickly wiped them away with his finger.
"Don't leave me," She sighed as he voice quivered.
Kyo kissed her to assure her that he wasn't planning on going any where, but when he kissed her, Tohru tasted the sudden overwhelming taste of warm blood. Kyo looked at her as blood escaped his mouth and he fell limp. Tohru started to cry loudly. Hatori stopped the car in front of Shigure's house. He jumped out of the car and opened the door to the back. He searched for a pulse.
"Tohru, he's fine, but his pulse is fading," He looked at her. "But we must get him into the house."
1 hour later
Tohru lay in her room in the bed crying as she waited for Hatori to tell her the news. She decided that she needed to eat something, if she wanted to have enough strength to stay awake. She wondered down to the kitchen. She put some rice in the rice cooker. She stared outside as she waited for the rice to get done. She then remembered something unfamiliar to her. She was at school, Kyo was on the roof; covered in cats. She was talking to him, she thought hard, but no matter how long she thought about it, she couldn't remember ever doing that though. She jumped when the rice cooker beeped. She walked over to the rice cooker and quickly made herself three rice balls. She then heard Kyo's voice in his head about a plum being stuck to her back. She stopped before she took a bite. She shrugged and ate the rice balls.
Hatori entered the kitchen with saddened eyes. "Tohru, I..." he paused as he looked at her. He threw the beads at her. Tohru caught the beads and looked at them with wide eyes. "Kyo, he's..." Tohru ran out of the room before he could finish his sentence. She grabbed her coat and shoes as she ran out the door. She ran into the forest, knowing that Kyo was dead. She didn't want to hear Hatori finish the sentence. She ran until she made it to the road that connected to the Sohma Forest. She cried as she ran down the street to the local subway station. She sat down, she wanted to go to Kyoko, but she then thought that wasn't far enough to go.
She walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus. She thought where she could go so that she would never have to see the Sohma family again. She couldn't face them after what happened to Kyo. She blamed her self; she thought that if she had never met the Sohmas, Kyo would still be alive.
The large bus stopped slowly as Tohru approached the doors. She stepped up the steps and placed her money in the driver's hand. The driver looked at her with sad eyes; she was an old bitter lady. "Where you heading?" She croaked.
Tohru looked up and smiled. "The airport, please." She finished. She walked down the walkway to a barren seat. She sat down, close to the window and watched the bus pull out of the lane and head for the airport. She cried her heart out; the people around her pitied her. They felt a sudden sadness, they knew that some how she was leaving this place for a good cause. The people as the got off left her money in the seat. She looked down and said that she couldn't take it, the people just kept walking. She took the money and gasped at how much that these people were giving her. Her stop was next. She picked up her jacket and the purse she had grabbed with her coat as she ran out of the house. She saw that she had all her important things with her; her credit cards, green card and drivers' license.
She walked past the driver, who stopped her and gave her fifty dollars. "This is for you to start a new life." Tohru didn't know what to do, she motioned for her to keep the money, but the bus driver didn't look back at her. She didn't know how well people in the world understood others so well without even knowing them.
She said thank you and got off. The bus reared away as Tohru approached the giant building. She walked in, only to be roughly pushed down by a large bulk man. He grunted at her and told her to watch where she was going. Then there was a boy not much older than her, who told the man off, saying that was not nice to do to a lady. The man grunted again and left.
"You didn't have to do that," Tohru said as she started to walk away. "But thank you any way."
"Hey, wait," He said as he walked in front of her. He was in some blue shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. His glasses were on his head; they were holding back his long blond bangs from his face. He was also wearing some black flip-flops. "Where are you going?"
"California," Tohru made up quickly as she tried to walk away again, but he came in front of her again.
"What's the hurry?" His questioned made him regret asking it. Tohru's eyes went red and tears started to form as she placed her hands on her stomach and ran off. He was left speechless as he watched her run away.
Tohru stood on the escalator, waiting to reach the top. She slowly walked off and approached the lady at the counter. "One ticket to San Francisco, California," Tohru asked.
"That will be one-hundred and twenty one dollars please." Tohru looked at the lady with wide eyes.
"But I don't have enough money." Tohru looked at the ground.
"I'll pay for that," Tohru turned around to find the blond boy she met down stairs in front of her.
"Oh, no I couldn't possibly," She started.
"No, it's my apology and gift for making you cry." He smiled at her. "Could you make that first class too?" He questioned the lady. She nodded and saw the price was going to be three hundred and seventy-seven dollars. Tohru was about to stop him, when he handed her the ticket. "Go on, enjoy your flight. By the way my name is Elliot." He held his hand out. Tohru looked at him and shook his hand. "My name is Tohru." She replied.
"Come, I'll take you to your plane, you look like you've never traveled before." He looked around her. "Don't you have any luggage?" Tohru shook her head.
"Only this," She said as she held up the purse.
"Are you on your own?" He questioned.
Tohru nodded. "Yes, I don't have any family or friends." She lied, but he believed her.
"You don't have any clothes or money?" Tohru looked down at the ground.
"I have the clothes on my back and the money in my wallet." She tried to sound like she had a lot of both, but it turned out that it made her sound poor. He looked at he like she was crazy, but he helped her to the lady at the counter. She gave the lady her ticket and she said that they were boarding.
Tohru turned to say thank you, but he was gone. She boarded the plane and quickly sat down, but one of the flight attendants told her that she's in first class. She got up and walked to the front of the plane. She noticed the dramatic difference. "What would you like to drink?" The attendant asked while Tohru sat down in her seat.
Tohru looked at her and said, "Sprite, please." She attendant smiled as she walked to the back and quickly returned with her drink. Tohru took the drink and took a sip and looked at the beads she put on her wrist while she was running. Tears came yet again to her eyes as she placed her hand on her stomach.
"Dry your tears, a smile suits you best of all." Tohru looked up to see the same boy. She smiled at his comment. "Sorry I left you, but when I was helping you, I forgot all about my luggage and ticket. So I had to the 1600 meter dash. It's a good thing I have been running since I was nine years old." He smiled proudly. She looked back out the window, seeing the plane pull from the station.
She sat back in her chair, with her hands over her stomach as she started to cry again. Tears never brought her comfort, but every time she cried she was apologizing to God, to forgive her. Elliot looked at her with a worried face. He placed his hand on hers; making her jump. She looked at his hand and gave him a smile.
"What happened," he questioned with great bravery.
Tohru looked at him with sad eyes. "I..." She couldn't bring herself to say it. "Just lost the person dearest to me," She finished with a sigh.
"Who was it," Trying to figure out as much as possible.
"Kyo Sohma," She swallowed her tears. "He was just killed." Tears came without control as she looked at him.
"Kyo Sohma?" He looked at the ground and scratched his chin. "Oh, yeah, he was the boy that I trained with in marshal arts with Master." Tohru was surprised greatly by her lack of manners. She finally met someone who knew Kyo as well as she did. "When did he die, how, and who," He continued.
"Only a couple of hours ago, he was stabbed really badly in the upper left rib cage and it was Akito who did it." Elliot cringed at the name. "What's wrong, did you know him?"
"Yes, my father was the cursed with Rooster before he passed away. He used to tell me how evil Akito was to everyone in the Sohma family. I only met him once, when I was real young. Akito thought nothing of me when we met. I've never liked him. That's why I live in California, my father, before he died, said that he wanted to get away from Akito, and we did, he now controls a large investment. He was one of the richest men in California, but after he died, I took over..." He turned and saw Tohru was fast asleep on her shoulder.
Don't kill me please, I know that Kyo is...wait, can't ruin anything. hehehe. Review now, ten as usual.
