Chapter: 6

Chapter Title: A Fight, A Call, and An Accident

A week later at Shigure's house Tohru was lying in her bed. Her thoughts wandering off on Akito, his words, his movements, and his sin. Her life was now down the drain. Questions like: What if I'm pregnant, what's Kyo going to do, is anyone going to find out, will he really kill my friends; dangled within her mind. Darkness was beginning to draw to her. Until the door intervened with the simple knock. Tohru looked up.

"Come in." she replied.

Kyo walked in. A dark cloud seemed to form over him.

"Tohru, I just can't take what he's done to you!" Kyo blurted out.

Tohru stood there and looked at this orange haired man in front of her. 'I never knew Kyo could care for me so deeply.' She thought. "Kyo, if you can't then you sentence my friends to death."

Tears formed in Tohru's eyes. Her eyes sweltered up with the salty liquid as it slipped down her face. Kyo's face saddened up. He couldn't stand watching her cry. He clenched his fist and two things popped into his mind. Akito murdered. His ruby orbs caught Tohru's eyes and stared deep within her.

"It will be okay. Your friends will not die. Please if you can get happier. I miss the Tohru I knew." Kyo said.

She smiled and nodded wiping the tears from her face. 'I swear Akito one day there will be me and you. A stand off and I know who will win. Your body will die by my hand!' Kyo thought.

At the main house life seemed to have a vibe. Ahiro was just awaking to the bright sun of the day. She yawned and stretched out. She hit something and turned over to find Momiji right next to her. He was curled up next to her. She smiled and slowly got up. She covered him up and put on some clothing. She put on jeans and short leather skirt over them; she put a red camisole on and put a see through tan fishnet top over it. She placed her hair in a pony tail and placed on some make up. She walked out of her room and found Kisa wandering in the halls.

"Hey Kisa, do you need something?" Ahiro asked softly.

Kisa nodded. "Akito wants to see you."

Ahiro sighed and walked across to the dreaded room. She didn't bother knocking. She entered and found Akito with his sadistic birds staring outside.

"You sent for me." She said.

"Yes, you're late." He said.

"I'm sorry I don't work around your agenda."

Akito grabbed her shirt and pulled her in close to him. "You will pay."

He flung her against a wall. Her head hit it pretty hard. Before she had a chance to respond he hit her again. Her nose was bleeding and her head was throbbing. He pushed her shoulders into the wall. His nails dug deep in her skin and she cringed. He reached his fist up and hit her on the cheek bone. The color of red was beginning to color the floor as blood dripped from her. His fist then hit her hard in the stomach. Air was lost from her. She gasped for a simple breath but none came. Her rib became intensely sore. He slammed her on the floor coloring his floor even more. He laughed vilely and began to reach for her.

In that moment a light brown haired man with honey colored eyes walked down the hall. He was in a white dress shirt and Khaki slacks. He heard the commotion and slid the door open. There he found Akito and a female with baby blue hair. He stared for a moment then hopped into action. He ran in grabbed the girl.

"I'm so sorry sir Akito." And he ran out.

"I'm sorry, so sorry, so sorry." He mumbled to himself as he ran down the hall.

As he kept running he ran into a figure. He fell towards the ground but instinctively caught himself. He looked up.

"I'm so sorry so so sorry plz forgive me!" he pleaded.

"Ritsu, Oh my gosh is that AHIRO!" Shigure shouted grabbing the figure.

"sister hold on."

Shigure went flying down the halls. "HATORI HATORI!"

Hatori came out of a room rubbing his ear. "Yes Shigure?"

Hatori grabbed Ahiro and carried her to his office. He placed her down on a bed and began to treat her. "Shigure, what are you doing here?" Hatori asked.

"I came to see Ahiro." Shigure proudly replied.

"And Ritsu?" Hatori asked Ritsu.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hurt her! I didn't I'm so sorry. I just came by to see Miss. Tohru again but I needed a ride." Ritsu replied.

Hatori frowned he knew the offender. "Akito hurt her. Ritsu you did nothing wrong. You actually saved Ahiro's life."

Out of nowhere Shigure tackled Ritsu hugging him tightly. "Thankyou so much!"

Hatori sighed and shook his head at the idiot.

Meanwhile Tohru was taking a walking down the dirt path ahead of her. She remained alone and almost in a trance. Her thoughts off into a deep state. 'Kyo, Uo, Hana, Megumi, Shigure, Hatori, Yuki, I've let them all down. I can't stay this way. There all my friends and I've treated them horribly. Kyo, I've just been such a burden.'

Her thoughts were interrupted by a single person. She found ruby orbs and orange hair.

"Kyo," she whispered.

"You really shouldn't wander out." Kyo replied.

"Right!" she replied as she began to march back to the house.

Kyo frowned. "Are you okay?"

She nodded.

"Weren't you going to the store?" he asked.

She frowned and rubbed the back of her head. "Ri..ght."

She marched the other direction. Kyo sighed and ran off with her. "I'm coming."

She rolled her eyes knowing his persistency. The two walked to the store a dead silence between them. When they reached the store a smile appeared on Tohru's face. Kyo gave an odd look.

"Kyo, you can go get the leaks." She exclaimed.

"AHH!" Kyo grabbed his hair. "Are you trying to kill me!"

Tohru began to laugh hysterically. "Now, don't be a big baby."

He frowned. "You know I hate leaks."

"Fine, no dinner."

He frowned and marched uneasily to the isle. She laughed and continued her shopping.

At the main house Akito sat in his room. He was so frustrated that one stood against him. It had been a week since their first fight. He still had a bruise.

Ahiro was feeling well enough to get up and spend sometime with the kids. She took them outside and they had a minor paint fight. Hiro won. Their was a consequence for that boy to win. All the girls and Momiji ganged up on him. While they were chasing Hiro; Ahiro looked up to her name being called. She saw Kureno standing there waiting on her. She ran over.

"Yes Kureno?"

"You have a phone call." He said leading her to the phone.

She walked over and answered. "Hello, Ahiro speaking."

"Ahiro, I need your help." A low voice said.

"Who is this.....CALI!" she yelled.

"Yeah, I'm afraid I've gotten myself in some trouble."

"Again!?"

"Yeah,"

"What did you do? Who did you offend?" she instantly asked.

"I stumbled upon gang territory. You can imagine the rest." The sound of her voice told you she was hurt.

"What happened to you?"

"I got in a fight. My rib is hurt, I think my wrist is broken, and I was shot in the arm." She stated.

"I'm on my way. Where are you?"

"Vennette Street in an alley."

-click- Ahiro hung up the phone. She grabbed her keys and coat.

"Kids, I'll be back in an hour. Behave!" She hollered.

They nodded. "Where are you going, Ahiro?" Momiji asked.

"I'm going to help an old friend. If I'm not back in an hour then I'm in trouble. I'll be on Vennette street." She told Momiji.

He nodded and she ran off.

Ahiro was driving fast and recklessly. Hoping that Cali would be alright. "Hang on Cali." She spoke to herself. It was raining and night had come on swift wings. A semi driver who had been driving for 48 hours without rest was coming. Ahiro began to drive over the bridge when she heard a honk, and saw bright lights. That was her last vision before black. Her car flipped off the bridge and was stopped by a tree. She remained unconscience and the driver drove on.

About two hours later Akito exited his room. As he stepped out he overheard Momiji and Hatori talking.

"Hatori, Ahiro said she'd be back in an hour and it's been two. She said she was on Vennette street picking up and old friend." Momiji said.

Akito disappeared. He was now on Vennette street that's when he saw the bridge. He stopped his car and ran down to the creek. 'Why am I helping her again?' he asked himself. 'Heck, I'm already here.' He picked her up and carried her to his vehicle. He placed her on the backseat and then hopped in the front. He grabbed his cars cell and called Hatori.

"Hatori, get to Weston Bridges Hospital. Ahiro's been in an accident."


-tbc-
