A#1/N: Hello All! If you are reading this then that means you have probably finished reading the first chapter and you enjoyed it so much you just had to read this second chapter because it is THAT good! (run on sentence! YAY! I defy grammar in the authors notes! HAHA) Read on and enjoy!!
A#2/N:YEAH! We are actually starting a second chapter! Please enjoy?
Chapter two: The chapter after chapter one.
"What are we going to do? Where are we going?" Tohru asked exasperated as they ran through the woods with the lightning randomly flashing its blinding lights, "Kyo-kun are you okay?"
A grunt was issued from a giant running blue tarp.
"Oh good it seems the tarp is protecting you from the rain," Tohru commented.
The trio continued to run in the pouring rain until they finally made it to Yuki's secret base.
"Uh, Yuki-kun what are we doing here?" Tohru asked confused.
"We must protect the flowers at all cost! Hurry Honda-san take the blue tarp and help me cover my garden!" Yuki cried out.
Before Kyo even knew what was happening he was stripped of his tarp and left out in the rain. "WHAT ARE YOu doing…" he said with little enthusiasm, the rain was really draining him of his energy. Slowly he turned to see Yuki and Tohru spreading his tarp over Yuki's beloved garden.
"Sorry Kyo-kun, Yuki-kun insisted we protect the secret base!" Tohru apologized.
"Why don't you stop standing around and help out baka neko," muttered Yuki as he pounded the nails into the ground in order to hold the tarp down.
By some miracle they were able to lay the tarp over the garden without any major injuries, that is, until Kyo slumped to the ground landing in a puddle and transforming. "EH? Kyo-kun are you alright!!" yelped Tohru.
"Rain…wet…tired…" was the only response from the now sleeping neko.
"Ah! Yuki-kun what are we going to do!" Tohru cried as she jumped around in ultra super panic mode.
Yuki ran up to Tohru to try and calm her down when the howl of a pack of wolves could be heard in the distance. This caused Tohru to panic even more. "Danger, DANGER! My mother always told such horrible stories about people getting eaten by wolves!"
'Eh? Why would her mom talk about such scary things?' asked Yuki to himself as he watched Tohru jump around in circles. "Honda-san calm down it's okay…" he said trying to calm her down.
"WOLVES! DANGER! We are all going to DIE!!"
"Honda-san how about we head to the main house for safety (wolves or Akito-san…hmmm…tough decision but this is for Honda-san's sake!)" he suggested politely.
Regaining her composure Tohru swooped down to pick up the sleeping kitty (AWW) and his clothes. "Hai!"
The rain continued to fall heavily on the three as they hiked the long distance towards the main house. Lightning and thunder continued to jeer at them along the way. When they reached the main roads they noticed an eerie silence as the storm came to a brief pause and not even the cars were zooming about (How bizarre?).
"The silence is unnerving," Tohru commented to herself as they walked down the road. As if to respond to Tohru's comments she heard a third set of footsteps coming up behind them. Quickly she and Yuki turned around, only to find that no one was there. An unwelcome chill ran down Tohru's spine. "Did you hear anything?" she asked Yuki hoping it was just her imagination.
"I thought so…" he said quietly," it sounded like a third pair of footsteps."
"That's what I thought I heard as well," she mumbled as she turned around to walk towards the main house, but there in front of her and Yuki was a cloaked man blocking there way. His whole aura was emitting off dark mystery as he stood there with no intention on moving. Fear struck through Tohru as she saw the man that she almost dropped Kyo (who was still sleeping).
"Would you please move?" asked Yuki with slight irritation.
The stranger made no response and remained in his position.
"Move now, please," Yuki demanded through clenched teeth.
The stranger lifted his head just slightly revealing a hockey mask that covered his whole face. And what was that on his mask, blood? SHIGURE'S BLOOD!?
"Uh…Yuki-kun…maybe we should…" Tohru began.
"Way ahead of you Honda-san…RUN!!" he yelled as they dashed off past the mysterious man.
At a surprisingly smooth part of sidewalk Tohru miraculously tripped, falling with the still sleeping kitty in her arms. Yuki turned around as everything flashed in slow motion before his eyes. He could see the mysterious man walking up the sidewalk towards them. Tohru on the ground cried out "I'll be okay Yuki-kun, save yourself."
"NOOOOOOO! Honda-san!" Yuki cried out dramatically while coming back to help her up.
Yuki pulled Tohru up to her feet and just as Tohru bent down to pick up Kyo there came the dreadful pop noise followed by a cloud of orange smoke. (Oh no Kyo has turned back to his human form and he's got no clothes on!) The stranger was getting closer, they had to make a run for the main house if they wanted to stay alive. Grabbing Kyo's clothes from Tohru's grasp Yuki threw them at Kyo, "Quickly put on the clothes as we run!"
Kyo looked at him in disbelief, "WHAT! What are we running from?" he inquired as he started putting on his clothes.
"That!" Yuki yelled as the cloaked man was getting closer, "Now hurry up!"
It took Kyo only one look at the mysterious man till he realized the desperateness of the situation. Without a second thought he began to hop down the road as he pulled his pants up. Yuki grabbed Tohru's hands which were covering her eyes and began to drag her along with him.
They ran as fast as they could till at last they made it to the main house. Kyo (now fully dressed), Yuki, and Tohru all jumped in and locked the gate behind them just as the mysterious man came running up. He started pounding on the gate just as the rain started to fall once again.
The three of them started to make their way up to the house when Yuki noticed that Akito's window was open during this time of storm. "Why would Akito-san leave his window open if it is pouring outside?" Yuki muttered.
As the pounding started to get louder Tohru called back to him, "Yuki-kun won't you please come inside?"
"Huh? Oh…right," he said as he began to run towards shelter.
As they entered the main house Momiji bounced out to happily greet them. "Listen, listen have any of you seen Akito-san? He's missing and no one can find him."
"Oi, aren't you at least wondering why we are here?" asked an enraged Kyo.
"Hmm…Tohru-kun why are you guys here?" said Momiji cheerfully.
"Oi, stop ignoring ME!"
"Uh…well Momiji-kun, Shigure-san is missing," began Tohru.
"Not to mention our door. And a talking raven came to us and we heard wolves howling, and then we were chased here by some mysterious man," added Yuki.
Momiji looked at Yuki as if he was crazy, "Yuki are you okay?"
"Fine," he replied not catching on to what Momiji meant.
Kyo stopped the conversation by looking off into the distance and stated gravely, "So Akito is missing as well…I wonder what this could all mean." Thunder rumbled as he said this for dramatic effect. DUN DUN DAAA!!!
CHAPTER END (or is it?)
A#1/N: Hello future reviewers (hint hint) wasn't that just great yes I know it was! Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it…HAHA. It's a miracle I know, but Kyo doesn't swear in this chapter wow o0. Blah I am tired…and hungry.
A#2/N: AHH! That was so hard. Chapter two is never enjoyable to write. Not that I have ever written past chapter one, but still. Well as author #1 tells me the plot thickens, kind of. I am still confused about what is going on and how to get to the ending but that is not your problem it's mine so I'll stop my whining. Anyway the next chapter should be better, hope you enjoyed. Ahh! I have bags developing under my eyes, yet again my problem.
Oh and a BIG thanks to our two lone reviewers!
Larry Kotter: Glad you liked out story so far hope you enjoyed this chapter as well!
Haruko Sohma: Here's the next chappie. Thanks!!
