Chapter 9: Tohru is kidnapped

It all happened so fast. It was about three weeks after I broke my arm and Tohru was happy she got to take the cast off and everything. Kyo seemed at peace and Yuki, well I got along with him better but none of that mattered. For Tohru was kidnapped.

"Here you go Miss Honda," the hotel manager said happily. Tohru was so happy she finally got her money and she forgot her bag. When she went to get it two men seized her arms and dragged her away…

"This is unbelievable," Yuki said to Shigure, Brock, and Kyo.

" What's unbelievable, the part that she was kidnapped or-" but Brock knew he should stop there before either one of the Sohma's got mad at him. Kyo looked at him angrily. "Ok that was uncalled for I know."

"Well at least Hana-chan and Uo-chan are looking for her," Shigure said, " they haven't stopped since."

" Why worry, she's bright and-" but Brock stopped in mid sentence because Kyo looked pissed off and one more word would send him on a one way trip to hurtville. "Will you stop looking at me like that?"

"Well then you stop acting frickin retarded" Kyo yelled.

" I will because I know you'll lose your temper and hurt me if I don't," Brock said to himself.

"What did you just say," Kyo yelled walking over to Brock.

"Nothing, not a single word," Brock replied putting his hands behind his back. (It seems like Brock doesn't want them to get broken )

" I hate your personality," Kyo yelled at him, " it pisses me off."

" You want me to get rid of my personality!" Brock said, "How am I supposed to do that?"

"Here let me show you," Kyo said lifting his fist up into the air. Shigure quickly stopped him.

" You know violence doesn't solve anything," he announced to Kyo.

" Will you guys hurry up, we're supposed to be looking for her too," Yuki said.

" We should get into two groups so we can cover more ground," Shigure said, " And I'm not in anger management boy's group." Shigure laughed and pointed at Kyo, who thought he was an idiot. Kyo quickly grabbed Brock's shirt and dragged him out the door. With Yuki and Shigure out of sight Brock finally talked to Kyo.

" Do you really hate me," Brock said to Kyo.

" Well kind of, but not so much hate more of dislike," Kyo replied to him.

" So you think we could actually become friends!" Brock asked hoping for a positive answer.

" No, not really," Kyo said, " It's just that when ever I see you I usually kick the crap out of you."

" So your saying if I said something like KYO'S A SISSY BOY, you would get mad," Brock asked.

"YES!" Kyo said stopping and facing Brock.

" Well would you actually kill me if I-" Brock was cut of before he could finish.

" WILL YOU SHUT-UP," Kyo yelled. Brock then (not paying attention) tripped and grabbed Kyo's hand which made HIS BEADS FALL OFF! OH NO!

" YOU ASSHOLE, I DO HATE YOU," Kyo yelled in his true form. He slashed Brock's face making blood spill to the ground. " DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME, I MAY EVEN HATE YOU AS MUCH AS I DO YUKI." Brock looked at Kyo, who looked terrible. The foul smell coming off his body made breathing hard but also made Brock vomit several times. So Brock ran as fast as he could away.

" GET THE FUCK BACK HERE," Kyo yelled springing into the air and crashing down on Brock. Brock's expression was terrifying. Would Kyo kill him RIGHT NOW?

" I'LL RIP YOUR BODY TO SHREDS," Kyo screamed constantly but he didn't. When he finally transformed back, Brock was hardly breathing, and he looked horrified.

" Yes I would kill you," he said plainly. Brock's eyes were focused on Kyo and it came an utter shock that Kyo would actually say that. Brock's face had four slash marks going diagonally down his face and when he felt them blood appeared on his hands.

" Kyo would you…," Brock started to ask, " help me become stronger."

" THIS IS THE WORST TIME YOU COULD ASK ME ANY FAVORS," Kyo yelled.

" Well then I'll fight you, and learn first hand your fighting style," Brock said throwing a punch that since Kyo wasn't ready for, sent him to the ground.

" If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get," Kyo yelled punching Brock into the air. He then aimed a kick at Brock's face, which I'm sorry to say hit directly. The fight didn't last long, possibly ten minutes and Brock was on the ground, he had DEFINENTLY LOST.

" Ok, ok,….ok," Brock said panting.

" Ok what?" Kyo asked ready to continue the fight.

" Ok stop, that's what I meant," Brock replied standing up. Brock was very dazed but he managed to stay standing.

"YOU CAN'T JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT," Kyo yelled.

" Well that's what kind of person I am," Brock replied weakly. Just at that exact moment a scream, just like Tohru's echoed through the forest. Kyo was alert and he quickly sprinted towards where the sound was coming from.

" Wait, I'm not as fast as you," Brock yelled after him.

" To bad," Kyo yelled and he was then out of sight in a matter of seconds. A sound was heard from the bushes and a girl stepped out from them. She looked beat-up.

" AHHHHHHH, ZOMBIE," Brock yelled tripping and twisting his ankle.

" No it's me Tohru," Tohru said weakly and then she fell over onto her back.

"HUH!" Brock yelled crawling to her side and helping her up.

" I screamed when they dropped me out of the tree," Tohru said crying.

" They!" Brock asked, "they who?"

" The men that-" but Tohru screamed and pointed behind Brock.

" What are you-" but Brock screamed too when he looked. A bear with a snarling growl was right behind them looking at it's next meal cautiously.

" Maybe we Tohru screamed grabbing Brock's hand and sprinting away from the bear. It pursued after them roaring and when it was finally gaining on them, Tohru didn't notice the edge of the hill and she tumbled down it letting go of Brock's hand and spinning wildly out of control. They tumbled into the river and grabbed each others hands again.

" We have to not let-" but the rapids quickly pulled them separate ways and under the dark, murky waters.

" If we're lucky we'll meet at the end of the river," Brock said as Tohru was pulled under screaming. Tohru's constant screams were heard by the three Sohma's that were looking for her. When they found her they yanked he out of the river.

" Tohru, you look hurt," Yuki said to her.

"Brock…." she muttered as water poured out of her mouth. She coughed and pointed at the river.

" HE DROWNED," Kyo yelled. Shigure ran to the rivers edge and dived in.

"I'll be alright, I want you two to get Tohru back home, now," Shigure said swimming out of sight.

" Tohru come on, we'll get you back home," Yuki said and Kyo lifted her up. They managed to make it to the house without collapsing. ( heh heh) It was after dark that Shigure came home carrying Brock.

"He's dead," Shigure announced and everyone looked shocked. "If we don't get any food in his stomach." Shigure laughed and then was punched by both Kyo and Yuki. Brock laughed and then walked over to the table.

" I'm lucky he got me when he did," Brock said, "or I really would be dead."

Didn't this end nicely. Oh but Brock has to go back to America. He couldn't last long without the Fruits Basket gang. So I guess he'll just have to bring them with him. ( How will he talk Kyo into going to his place during Summer break.) You'll find out in the next chapter: American Road Trip
