Authors Note-Be grateful that you are getting this chappy. A virus goton my compy and killdmy word processing program. I had to use WordPad to write this, which I don't recommend. Ispent God knows how long fixing this...Once again, a big thanks to KawaiiAyu and Haruko Sohma for always reviewing my work. And since they requested it, a certain someone is gonna get theres...As last chappy, (feh...) means talking to someone on the phone.

Sohma Hatsuharu

Where is she?

I knew things were going too good. I should have seen it coming.

At least I know that it isn't Akito's fault this time. He's been gone for over a week.

I am afraid of what I could do.

Sohma Kyou

That damn dog has been gone too.

Even I can see the 'coincidence.' Shigure must have done something to Isuzu.

Something is always happening to that girl. I can't believe that I was once jealous of her. Okay, I can, but still...

No one deserves the things she's gone through.

But, unless she says something, I don't have any proof.

That damn Rat came into the room. "Rin is with Honda-san."

"Well? Did she say if anything happened to her?"

He gave me one of his annoying as hell looks. "No. And its none of your concern."

None of my concern?

"I'm a part of this family too, you Goddamn rat! I may not get along with her well, but I have known Isuzu longer than most! I am worried for her, and for Haru! In case you haven't thought, Haru is probably tearing him self up right now! God knows what he could do right now! So tell me! Did something happen to Isuzu?"

I must have shocked him. "Will you pay attention for once? Honda-san did not say if something was wrong with Rin. I don't know."

Damn it all. I had better tell Haru about this. The sooner he gets his revenge, the less hurt the dog will be. I hope.

Sohma Kureno

I can't believe that. Even though I know that Hatori-niisan wouldn't lie about something like this, I still find it hard to believe.

Why would Shigure-niisan take Isuzu-san?

Even though I promised her, I have to call Akito.

After all, she might be concerned, after her change of heart about Isuzu. Especially since this involves her 'favorite'...

"Hello?"

(Akito? I apologize for calling you, but its an emergancy.)

"Kureno? What is going on?"

(Shigure-niisan found Isuzu-san. He kidnapped her. And possibly raped her.)

"What? Is this some kind of sick joke, Kureno? For your sake, it had better be."

(I'm sorry, but its true He called Hatori-niisan to tell him. I think that Shigure-niisan has lost his mind.)

"I'm coming home. Something has to be done. I'll never forgive him for this. He knew how I felt about her at that time. Even though she isn't my favorite member of the Jyuunishi, there is still the bond between us. Its the least that I can do, for all the things that I have done to her."

(When will you be back?)

"As soon as I can. Please tell Hatori."

(Yes.)

Sohma Hatori

Of all people, I never expected Sonomi-san to call me.

"Pardon me, Hatori-bochan."

(What is it, Sonomi-san?)

"Isuzu-jochan has just called us. She is at the following address, and would like for you to take her back to the Onsen, if that is alright with you."

I scribbled the address onto a napkin.

"Then, if you'll excuse me."

Hiro and Satsuki looked at me, "Well? Has somebody found her?"

"Get in the car. We are going to get her right now."

No sooner than I started the car, my phone rang again.

(This is Sohma Hatori.)

"Hatori-niisan, this is Kureno. I called Akito. She is on her way home."

(Why did you call her, Kureno? This could turn into something that we cannot deal with.)

"I know, but still...Akito has the right to know. She wasn't mad at Isuzu, she was just...I don't know how to explain it. I think she's just frustrated with the things that Shigure-niisan has done lately."

(She has every right to be. I am going to pick Isuzu up right now. She is staying at a friend of Honda-kun's right now. I will call when we get there.)

To quote Shigure, this could most likely turn out badly. Very badly.

Sohma Kyou

It didn't take me long to find Haru. When he's angry, well, he sticks out like a bull in a china shop.

"Haru!"

He turned to look at me. I don't think that I have ever seen him like this. He has this look in his eyes...I don't think words can even begin to describe it.

"Shigure is gone! Isn't it funny that he disappears at the same time Isuzu is nabbed from the Onsen?"

Shit. I don't want to be Shigure right now. If looks could kill, he would be dead in all of his future incarnations.

Haru didn't speak a single word. He just turned and started running back to Shigure's house. I could barely keep up with him.

When we were half way up the path, Haru suddenly sped up. He must have seen Shigure.

" You son of a bitch!"

Haru tackled Shigure.

Shigure didn't stand a chance.

Sohma Yuki

About an hour after the Cat left, I heard shouting.

I ran outside to see what was going on, and I could barely believe my eyes.

Haru was beating Shigure almost to the point of no recognition. Kyou just stood there, in shock.

I won't repeat the things that Haru was saying. They were foul, even to Kyou's ears.

I tried to talk Haru out of it, but Kyou stopped me. "I've tried that already. I can't stop him. The only person that could is Isuzu."

Fortunately, Haru had tired himself out not much after this. He just lay there on the ground, crying for Isuzu. Needless to say, Shigure couldn't really speak.

Sohma Isuzu

I was surprised. Honda's friends were both kind people. Even though Uotani was a forner gang member, and Hanajima could see 'electric waves'.

Words can't even begin to say how greatful I am to Hanajima and her brother.

When someone knocked on the door, I expected it to be Tori-nii.

It was Hiro. He threw himself onto me, and bear-hugged me for all he was worth. When he let go of me, Satsuki gave me a gentler version of her sons hug. Those two...

"Ack! Its you!" Hiro freaked out when he saw Megumi. I don't know why.

"Isuzu-chan, are you ready to go home?"

I looked at Hanajima. "Thank you so much for what you have done for me, Hanajima. I will always be greatful." She smiled at me. "If you ever need help, just come see me."

Uotani hugged me. "Girl, good luck. From the sounds of things, you'll need it."

"Thanks, Uotani."

To my surprise, Tori-nii came running in. "I'm sorry, but we must leave now. There is another family emergancy that I must attend to."

What?

"Tori-nii, whats going on?"

"Hatsuharu attacked Shigure."

Dear God. Haru, what have we gotten ourselves into now?
