Chapter 6

"Hm? What?" Yuki turned around. "Did I just go through that door?"

"Yuki!" Yuki heard a girl scream.

I bet its Miss Honda! I've got to find her! She's probably in a lot of danger.

Yuki was running faster than he had ever run before. He heard screaming and he started hearing Kyo cussing. He heard Tohru screaming 'No!' He was following their voices.

I bet they're right around this corner!

He turned the corner and yelled, "Miss Honda!" Everyone looked at him. He returned their stares. It was silent for a second and then Yuki asked, "What are you doing?"

Kyo answered, "What does it look like we're doing? We're playing rich man poor man."

"And Kyo is loosing by the way." Aya added.

"Oh would you just shut up! I'll make you eat those words princess!"

"Why I didn't do a thing. How can you even think of doing that to me?"

Yuki watched them go at it and then he fell to his knees and on his side.

Tohru ran over to him. "Yuki? Yuki!"

"I'm alright Miss Honda. I just thought that you were in trouble and that that stupid cat wasn't doing anything to help."

"Don't call me stupid!" Kyo said jumping into the conversation and then jumping back into the fight with Aya. Tohru tried to stop them. Yuki just lied there and thought how peaceful it was. Then he blacked out.

"What?" Akito's voice was the only sound in the room besides the sound of dripping blood.

"EEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!" The girls screamed together. On the ground was one of the bodyguards' head. Its body was unattached.

"What the hell is going on?" The female bodyguard asked. She turned around for a report from one of her men but found them all staring blank into space except one who looked terrified. "Well? What happened?!" She demanded to know. All the bodyguards suddenly keeled over except the one that looked terrified and the female. They were all dead.

"How can this be? Who could have killed all my men in such a short second?!" Akito was filling up with anger. He pointed at the girls heads and said, "You! You two did this!"

"H-how could we h-have?" Yume said.

"Yeah, we were right here the whole time." Izumi said.

"You used some of your witch voodoo! I don't know! I just know you did it, and now you will die!"

He was about to shoot them both when a voice from the ceiling said, "Here! Take these!" The person through a big sword and two short ninja swords from the ceiling into the girl's hand. Izumi got the two ninja swords and Yume got the big sword.

Akito was distracted, "Where are you?! Who are you?! Did you kill my men?!" He pointed his gun to the ceiling and screamed, "Answer me!" Izumi went charging at Akito with rage.

"Don't you know the first thing about battle?!" Izumi slashed Akito and he fell to the floor in front of her. "Lesson 1: Never look away from your opponent!" She tried to cut him but he rolled backwards onto his feet. He shot the gun. Izumi did a back flip over it. "Lesson 2: Fight fire with fire!" She plunged towards Akito and knocked the gun out of his hand. When he tried to get it back, she kicked it all the way across the room. She did two backhand-springs and a double back flip and put out her arm. At that moment, another sword landed in her hand. She slid it across the floor to Akito and said, "Take the sword."

"Heh heh. Fine, it's your demise."

It was dark. Yuki couldn't see. The only thing he heard was the sound of Miss Honda yelling 'Yuki? Yuki! Can you hear me? Please answer!' He couldn't move and the only thing he wanted to do was sleep. He tried to fight it but it was no use. He succumbed to the force trying to make him fall asleep and after... He wasn't breathing.

"Oh my God!" Tohru gasped and moved back a little. She placed her hand over her mouth.

"What's wrong Tohru? What happened?" Kyo said looking into her fear struck eyes.

"H-He... He's not..." Tohru couldn't finish the sentence. She fell to the ground on her side.

"He's not what?!" Kyo asked.

"He's not breathing." Aya said. "I can't feel his pulse."

"What? What do you mean he's not breathing? He has to be breathing, the damn rat!" Kyo said looking at him. He held his head to his chest. He could barely hear it but there was a faint heartbeat. "He's not dead he just needs air! He's having an asthma attack!" Kyo did mouth to mouth recessitation. "Damn rat! You'd better not die on us!" Tohru came to his mind. He thought to himself, for her sake don't you dare die on us.

"Yuki..." Yuki's eyes opened. In front of him was Miss Honda. She was in a long, white dress. It was shear and it sparkled although there was no light anywhere to be found. She herself, lit up the room.

"Miss... Honda?" Yuki said weakly. She knelt next to him and whispered in his ear.

"Yuki... We're inside your mind and I'm wondering what are you doing here? You have no reason to stay unless you want to." Her whispering tickled his ear.

"But what am I supposed to do? Why are we all here? What's the point? Haven't you just wanted to do whatever you want with no consequences? To always know what you are supposed to do?" He shuddered for a second. "To not have to worry about being hurt?" He said that part softly. Tohru sat down and laid Yuki's head, gently, on her lap.

"Yes, I have wondered what would have happened if I knew everything. But..." She paused and looked down at Yuki with bright eyes. "If we knew everything then life wouldn't be fun! And I know it hurts, I know a lot more than you think, but, I still found the courage to go on, because I know..." She closed her eyes. "I know that, no matter what, there is always bad that comes with the good and vice versa. Without the bad times, we wouldn't be able to appreciate the good times. Plus we would probably create other bad times from the good times. In our world, you should always live your life to the fullest. You might never get another chance to do what you wanted to."

"You're right Miss Honda." Yuki lifted his head out of her lap.

"Then will you come back to us?" Tohru said looking at him.

"Of course. I promised to protect you and that is what I will do."

"Then lets go." Tohru waved her hand a blinding light entered the cold deserted place. Tohru was lost in the light. Yuki, who was no longer able to see her closed his eyes and woke up from his slumber.

"Y-yuki?!" Kyo said surprised. Kyo was inches from his face about to breathe in his mouth again.

"What do you think you're doing you stupid cat?" Yuki said sounding a little peeved.

"What?! I don't even get a thank you for saving your life? I knew I should've just left you lying on the ground. I should have just let you die! Damn rat." Kyo left Yuki's side to go be at Tohru's side. He shook her and she woke up. She looked around and saw Yuki and Kyo staring at her. She grabbed Yuki and he transformed.

"I am so sorry! But I'm so happy too! I thought you were dead! Oh my gosh! Please don't scare me like that again!" She was crying tears of joy.

It must have all been a dream. She doesn't seem to have gone in my head. She doesn't even act like she was anything but sleeping. He looked at her. But then again, maybe she did it unconsciously.

"Well anyways, once you're done with your love scene can we get out of here?" Kyo said sounding a bit angry.

"Oh yes! I'm so sorry! How could I forget that?!"

"Its okay, but how do we get out of here?"

"You all have to bond together." Aya came out of nowhere reading a scroll that looked about 2000 years old. "It says right here that you all are to merge together to make one and then you'll have enough power to get out of here. But, you can only merge one person at a time and it takes a few hours to merge one person."

"What the- How the hell do you think we are supposed to merge together?" Kyo yelled in frustration.

"Ask Tohru." Yuki and Kyo looked at Tohru. "She knows how."

"What? I don't know how to merge. The only thing I can think of is hugging each other which we can't do." Yuki turned back into human form and threw on his clothes. Tohru turned before he changed back.

"The scrolls do say the easiest way of merging is to hug each other." said Aya.

"Then there's got to be a way to hug each other without changing forms." Yuki said.

"Tohru and I'll go first. That way, Mr. Pretty boy over there doesn't have to scratch his perfect girlie face."

"That's fine with me." Tohru said with a smile. In her head she was thinking, we should hurry and get out of here before those two end up killing each other.
