Kyo ran through the quiet town as the rain began to pour. He didn't care anymore. He ran to the castle and around back. Making sure he wasn't seen of course. He scurried around to the edge of the house. Top right... That room had a balcony. Was she being treated that well?

Suddenly the window burst open and Kyo hid himself against the wall. Someone ran to the edge gasping slightly. He looked as best he could through the rain and saw the face of Tohru. He almost called her name when she turned back around, her shoulder length hair flinging water around. He saw her picked up as he threw the rope up to the balcony. Now usually.. Someone would have to catch it.. but he tied wood to the end and it wedged itself between the railing and caught. Kyo dropped the bag and climbed up like the cat he was.

'Tohru!' He shouted in his mind. He jumped up to the balcony just as he heard her scream his name. He punched Akito hard in the side of the face and sent him flying into the window. Tohru's body fell to the ground limply.

"Tohru!" Kyo called. He ran to her side and shook her. She didn't move. "Tohru..." Kyo begged. 'Please let her be okay. After all this.. let her be fine.'

Akito struggled to push himself onto his elbows. He glared at the cat. The fiery orange hair was visible even in this rain. Covered in cuts and bleeding, Akito passed out.

Kyo picked Tohru up and jumped down. He was starting to feel the effects of all the rain. On the way there, the idea that Tohru was in trouble kept him up, now he knew Tohru needed help but that didn't stop the rain.

In the refuge people were starting to wake up to the sound of a crash. Rain poured down and blew into the refuge and Kyo lay on the ground, Tohru had been in his arms, now she lay a bit in front of him. Good too.. he didn't feel like being a cat right now.

Kyo groaned and pushed himself to his knees. Kagura and Haru were first to see him.

"Kyo!" Kagura yelled franticly and ran over. "Tohru!" She went wide eyed. "You went to the castle alone?!"

People coming around to see this started whispering things like 'He got Tohru back?' 'He left alone?' 'Even when it's raining?!' 'The cat did that?' and so on. Kyo didn't care. He sat up and got right up next to Tohru.

"She needs help. Go get Hatori." he ordered Kagura without looking at her. Kyo's eyes were fixed on Tohru's face. Kagura nodded and ran off.

"Kyo.." Haru kneeled beside him. "That was probably the stupidest thing you've done.." He said that, but he was smiling. Kyo looked up at him panting. He smirked too.

"By the way.. Haru.. I punched Akito." Kyo looked back at Tohru.

"But Akito's dead.. or I'd ask how it felt.."

"I hit him Haru! He was attacking Tohru. He's not dead! Tohru will tell you the same thing when she wakes up." Kyo growled.

"Okay Kyo." Haru looked up at Hana as she walked over. "Is Tohru alright?" she asked.

"She'll be fine." Kyo was actually saying this to himself, but Hana nodded. She could sense Tohru's fear. Yet.. The fear... had relief mixed in there slightly. Haru got up to go help Kagura with Hatori.

"Fear. Relief." Hana said. "What?" Kyo looked up at her. "Two feeling that are rarely felt together." Hana stared into Kyo eyes. Kyo didn't understand. "You want me to say it differently." Hana sighed. "Tohru's the only one who ever understood a thing I said."

"Will you just cut to the chase?" Kyo snapped irritated.

"She was scared.. but I guess.. you brought her relief. I don't know what happened. And I could be wrong. I'm just saying what she's feeling." Hana had regained her airy tone. Kyo was only slightly unconfused.

"Kyo! I got Hatori!" Kagura yelled as Hatori came over in a rush.

"Bring her to her room." Hatori orders and Kagura picked up Tohru, with Kyo helping. They set her down on the bed and Hatori ordered them out. Kyo wondered what Akito had done to her.

Hatori came out about 20 minutes later. Kyo and Kagura and Haru jumped up to see him.

"I'm happy to say she just needs some rest.. And I spotted.. strange burn marks...small ones... on her face." Hatori looked at Kyo, As though implying 'Any ideas?'.

"I don't know.. Maybe it was... nah." Kyo turned away from the group. "Kyo.." Hatori urged.

"Ok.. Maybe it was Akito. He was holding his had over her face.. I don't know.." Kyo ignored the startled looks and gasps that came from the dragon and boar.

"But Kyo.. Akito died." Hatori said, trying to keep his cool.

"No Dammit! He's alive!" Kyo punched the wall.

"Okay Kyo.. we believe you.. don't knock down your house.. You'll kill Tohru.." Haru said.

"Don't even joke about that!" Kyo snapped.

"Then stop punching the walls.." Haru yawned and went inside to see Tohru.
