Hello, Sakuma here. Chapter 17 took me 2 days to write. I was just so busy. Here's Chapter 18:

Yuki returned home, worn out from his time at the main house. It was early in the morning but still dark out. Kyo sat in the living room, as if he was waiting for Yuki's return.

"Where were you," Kyo demanded.

"I went out for a walk," Yuki said. At least there was some truth in that.

"Where?" Kyo asked.

"Just around," Yuki replied.

"Around where?" Kyo demanded.

"Why are you accusing? I went for a walk, since I couldn't sleep, and lost track of time. What is with you," Yuki said, annoyed.

"Dammit, I was worried sick about you," Kyo yelled.

Yuki walked closer to Kyo and gave him a hug.

"I'm sorry," Yuki said.

"It's OK, I was just worried that you weren't coming back," Kyo replied.

"Yuki let go of Kyo, and sighed.

"What's wrong," Kyo asked.

"It's a long story," Yuki said.

"We have time," Kyo said calmly.

"I went for a walk when I saw someone following me. So I ran and-" Yuki cut off.

"I was the one following you. I saw you leave and wanted to know where you were going," Kyo admitted.

"So did you see who I bumped into,' Yuki asked.

"She looked I lot like Akito, but that's impossible,' Kyo laughed.

"No, its possible all right. Hatori has devised this 'evil plan' to kill all the 12 zodiac, you and Akito, to take over the Sohma family," Yuki said.

"Why would he want to do that,' Kyo asked.

"He said that no one ever respects him," Yuki said.

"Well of course not, he's our doctor," Kyo said bluntly.

"That doesn't give him license to take over," Yuki said hysterically.

'True, otherwise I would have done that years ago. I get even less respect than Hatori does, and I never even dreamed of doing that," Kyo said.

Yuki sat there for a minute. Kyo was right, he got less respect that anyone in the family, because he is the cat. That never really occurred to Yuki.

"I'm sorry," Yuki said.

"Don't be. Its not your fault that Hatori's gone mad," Kyo laughed.

Yuki suddenly remember that the gun was in his coat pocket, and what he had to do.

"So, let's kill this bastard, eh?" said Kyo, brandishing the gun that was suppose to be in Yuki's coat pocket.
