Chapter 2

"What are you talking about? Its just a closet!" Kyo said.

"That... Is no closet." They said.

"Then what is it? Tell me." Yuki said.

"It is a literal maze. The only way to get out is to have magical powers. Then you would end up back in the middle of the floor over here." They pointed in front of their thrones.

"Did you put her in there?" Kyo asked.

"Put who in there?" Izumi said.

"You know damn well who! Did you put Tohru in there?!" Kyo exploded.

"We have yet to meet-".

"I asked Izumi. Not you Yume." Yume looked at her terrified sister. "Izumi, did you put Tohru Honda in there?"

"I-I have yet to meet her!"

"That's a freakin lie! You know it is! Don't say the words your sister said, tell me the truth!" Kyo said looking into her eyes.

"I..." was the only thing Izumi could say. He was staring into her eyes, she was about to give in and blow their cover. She didn't want to do that but she didn't want to lie to him either. She heard her sister talking to her telepathically, saying not to give in but that voice was far away. She barely heard it.

"Please Izumi..." Kyo said with loving eyes as he moved in closer as if he would kiss her.

What can I do? I don't want to lie but I don't want to say anything either. What should I do? I know!

Izumi closed her eyes and collapsed.

"Izumi? Izumi!" Kyo caught her in his arms. "Izumi! Are you okay?"

She didn't move.

"What have you done to her?! What have you done?!" Yume said screaming as Yuki was holding her back.

"I didn't do nothin. She fell on her own!"

"Yes Yume, please calm down."

"How can I?! He just murdered my older sister! Are you really on his side Yuki?!" Yume screamed.

"No but I know he didn't do anything. Just relax, she just probably passed out. Don't worry about it. She'll be fine but where is her room?"

Yume stopped fighting to get out of his arms and pointed to behind the thrones. "Her's is on the left."

"I'll carry her there." Kyo said.

"No you will not." Yume snapped. "I will." Yume focused her energy.

"You? I don't think you're strong enough." Kyo said. Suddenly Izumi started lifting out of his arms. "What?"

"Do you honestly think I was actually carry her? She's too heavy for me. I think everyone knows that."

"Are you doing that, Yume?!" Yuki asked in suprise.

"Of course I am. I said I would didn't I?" She said looking at Yuki and Kyo behind her. "Aya! Ame!" Yume yelled. Two of the servants appeared in front of Izumi's room. "Tend to Izumi. Make sure she is alright."

"Yes ma'am." They said together.

Yume dropped Izumi into the servants hands. Then she turned around to see Kyo's and Yuki's suprised faces.

"Well duh, how else do you think we made it through the maze?"

"Yume. Is she really in there? Please this is important." Yuki said.

"Well if she was, then she won't be coming out ever. People who do not have magical powers stay in there forever. Way after they die, they do not move on. They stay trapped in there for all eternity."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying if she is in there and she doesn't have magical powers you can just say goodbye now. She's not coming back."

Kyo was furious. He grabbed her by her collar, "She better not be in there."

"Kyo!"

"Let me go you jerk! What are you going to do? Kill me too?"

"I did not kill Izumi! She collapsed on her own!"

"Sure she did! Maybe from remembering the sight of you in your real form. Honestly, I don't see how she can like you after seeing that. It was horrible and yet it made her like you even more. I do not understand her. We are totally different when it comes to matters of the heart and I am so glad that we are."

Kyo threw her to the ground. "Shut up you damn bitch!" Kyo yelled. He was on the ground next to her, pulling her hair in a flash. "Don't you ever say that again. If you think thats frightening, wait until you see the true form of that damn rat! Then you'll have something to be scared about!"

"Other form?"

"Kyo! Shut up! Now!"

"Oh thats right you don't wnat anyone to know do you? What will Tohru do when she finds out? Will she except you like she did me? Will she? Do you think she can handle you and me? Well I've got something to tell you ya damn rat!" Kyo hestiated and then he said, "She don't have enough nerves to deal with yours."

"Shut up!" Yuki charged at Kyo head on. He tackled him to the ground and pinned him. Then he started punching him ruthlessly.

"Yuki! Stop! Please!" Yume yelled

"Why should I? He's been begging for this for so long! I say that we should kill him!"

Yume ran over to his side and held back his arms so he couldn't punch him anymore. He struggled to get free.

"Let me go Yume!"

"No! I won't! I'm not going to let you just kill someone you admire so much!"

"Admire?! Ha! What could be admirable in this useless cat?!"

"Stop! You may try to hide your feelings but you can't deny them! Just stop please! You're scaring me!"

Yuki stopped struggling for a second then threw Yume across the floor.

"If you're so afraid, just go hide under your covers! This will all be over before you know it!" Yuki continued to punch Kyo.

"Damn rat! What kind of punch is that? Do you need more training or something? Your punches feel like Tohru's!"

"Shut up!"

"STOP!!!" Yuki's arms were frozen. He turned and saw Izumi's aura and her flying down to them. "I will tell you where Miss Tohru Honda is if you stop fighting him right now! After all, killing him like this is not the way you want to kill him is it?"

Yuki just looked at her and got off Kyo reluctantly. Izumi ran over to him to make sure he was alright.

"Kyo?" She said putting her hand on his back.

"Don't touch me."

"Oh sorry."

"You lied to me from the very beginning. And Yume, you lied to Yuki."

"Yes... We are sorry."

"Oh just cut the crap already and tell us where she is!" Kyo said wiping the blood on his jaw off.

The sisters looked at each other. Izumi spoke up, "She was pulled into the maze."

"That's bull!"

"No! Its the truth!"

"How in the hell could she be pulled into the maze?!"

"If you would let my sister finish, you would understand!"

"Understand what exactly Yume? How did she suddenly end up in the maze?" Yuki suspicoiusly said.

"She was trying to get away..."

"Away from what?" Kyo asked.

"From us." Izumi said looking down at the floor.

"Sister!"

"No! Let her go on. I want to hear this." Kyo and Yuki said.

"We had a henchman knock you all out and bring her to us. We were going to kill her before you found us but suddenly a light blinded us and she was sucked into that maze."

"Why were you going to kill her?" asked Yuki.

Yume answered, "We were jealous that you two were paying so much attention to her. We knew how you felt toward her and so we decided that she must die. We then created "operation: Tohru Honda must die" and put it in full effect."

"How do we know you didn't just push her in there?" Kyo said suspiciously.

Izumi answered this time, "You do not understand. Our objective was to get rid of her. It was not to make you follow her into that maze. Plus we do not have the power to open the doors. The doors open themselves. We can go in without opening the doors but we can not take someone with us. It is impossible for us to do so."

"So you mean that there is no way in?" Kyo and Yuki said.

The girls shook their heads.

"Unless you can find a way for the doors to open, you cannot go in to save her. She will have to find her own way out."

"Which won't be possible..."Kyo said.

"...Unless she has magical powers." Yuki finished.

The room was silent for a while. Kyo and Yuki were deep in thought.

"Wait a second! Izumi, you said you can go in without opening the doors right?" Kyo said happily.

"Yes that is right."

"Then one can go in and tell us if Miss Honda is alright!"

"And the other can stay and tell us what's going on in there."

The girls looked at each other. "...Yes..."

"Good. Izumi, you go inside and make sure she's alright okay?" Kyo said.

"And Yume, you stay out here to channel what they say okay?" Yuki said.

"Fine." With that they split up. Yume stayed with the boys and Izumi headed over to the maze.

As Izumi was about to go in a bright light forced her back and she hit the wall on the other side of the room.

"Izumi!" They all exclaimed.

They ran over to her to make sure she was alright.

"Izumi, what happened?" asked Kyo.

"For some reason... the maze won't let me in."

"What do you mean sister?"

"I don't think it will let us in... Which means that she will have to find her way out on her own. She's all alone in this. Its all her now."

"WHAT!!!"
