Chapter 10

"Only part of our curse?! How cursed can we be?!" Yuki and Kyo asked.

"I don't know, why don't we ask Akito himself?" Tohru suggested. Everyone stared at Akito. He started to back up and eventually hit the huge steel door. He looked behind him to confirm the steel door. Tohru slowly got closer to but the main bodyguard got to him before she did.

"Don't you dare come a step closer!" She raised her gun and pressed a button on the top of her gun. All of a sudden the huge steel doors opened up and gusts of wind came bursting in. A helicopter was waiting outside the doors. Tohru and everyone else was trying to block the wind from getting in their eyes and trying not to get blown away at the same time. Tohru was the only one that could see them getting away.

"Wait!" She screamed. Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure opened their eyes to find Tohru walking against the wind to get to Akito.

"Tohru!" Shigure and Kyo yelled over the wind.

"Miss Honda!" Yuki yelled at the same time.

"Akito!" Tohru screamed. Akito turned to look at her. "Get back here you coward!"

"Coward? I have no such word in my vocabulary!" The helicoptor threw down a rope ladder for them to grab onto. "Farewell! This is not the end. You have not won, yet! I won't let you win!" Akito jumped onto the ladder and then the main guard jumped on as well.

"Akito!!!" Tohru screamed. A bright light grew around her. The light disappeared and she turned around to look at her three main guardians. She then fell to the ground unconscious, she had no more power left. Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure ran over to her.

"Tohru?" Shigure asked. Tohru curled up from her last position and then she changed. She no longer had her beautiful dress on, she turned back into her regular clothes. She stayed curled up in a little ball.

"Is she okay?" Kyo asked. Yuki went and felt her pulse and listened to her breathing. "She's asleep." He laughed.

"Well how are we going to get her to the house?" Yume and Izumi looked at each other. There were lots of maids smothering them with attention now thta Akito had left. The maids were taking care of their wounds and giving them proper medical attention and water.

"We can do it." They said in unison.

Kyo and Yuki looked at them. Shigure looked at Kyo and Yuki.

Kyo walked over to Izumi and moved the maids out of his way. He lifted Izumi's leg up and tapped it lightly. She cringed. "You sure you can take her when you have so much pain in your left leg? What if you collapse?"

Izumi looked down at her leg and sighed. "You're right, but I want to help."

"If you want to help," Kyo said. He smiled, "Stay here and get better."

Izumi looked at him, looking into his eyes. His eyes sparkled with a kind look. She nodded. "Okay. I'll saty here." She said blushing.

"What about me? I can still take her." Yume said. Yuki looked at her. He walked over to her and touched her arm. She tried not to but she winced from the pain.

"Exactly what I thought. You can't carry her because you have a bad arm. He shot you didn't he?" Yuki already knew the answer to his question. He kissed Yume's arm softly. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you." He said kindly and sweetly.

"Its okay, I'm fine don't worry about it." Yume said blushing.

"Well guys, we have two injured and three who can't carry our precious princess Tohru back to her room." Kyo and Yuki looked at Shigure.

"We can't carry her because we'll transform." Yuki said.

"No we won't." Kyo said. "I'll carry her." Kyo said.

"Kyo,"Yuki said. "First of all I don't trust you with Miss Honda's body, second of all we will all change into our zodiac forms if we try to carry her."

"We have to have trust in her." Kyo said. He went to pick her up. He froze for a second and then swept her up into his arms. Suprisingly he didn't transform. He let out a long sigh of relief. "See." He said. He turned back to face the girls. "You guys feel better soon and you can come over and eat one of her delicious dinners. But if you ever do that again we will officially disown you." He said with a smile. He turned and walked out the doors into the light. Yuki and Shigure followed him.

"Uhhnnn..." The moan had come from Tohru. It had been a day since she the whole incident happened and she was just now waking up. She looked around at her suroundings and found herself in her room. She heard a crash downstairs so she got up, put her house shoes on, and walked down the steps. She looked in the kitchen and found Momiji cooking, and Ritsu freaking out because he dropped a glass. Shigure soon emerged from the other room to poke Ritsu in his side. He then turned around and saw Tohru standing across from them all.

"Ah, Tohru. You have awakened have you?" Shigure said.

"Tohru Tohru!" Momiji said bouncing up to her. "Are you feeling better? Huh huh?" He asked all worried but happy to see her at the same time.

"Yes I fell much better Momiji, thank you." She said with a smile. Kyo came out of no where with a towel around his neck and he walked to the fridge. He pulled out the milk carton, opened it and drank from it. Momiji tried to stop him.

"Hey! Kyo, don't drink it straight out of there! Kyo!" Kyo placed the milk down and started giving Momiji and noogie with his elbow and fist.

"Would you be quiet?! You're going to wake Tohru up!" He looked up and to his suprise she was standing there, Shigure next to her, both of them were looking at him. He dropped Momiji to the ground immediatly. He then turned and walked out of the kitchen.

"Shigure. He didn't even say 'Hi' to me. Did I do something wrong?" She asked.

"No, not at all. He's just embarrased is all." Shigure started laughing.

"Embarrased? Around me?" She asked cluelessly. "Oh no. I must have done something terrible for him to be embarrased around me. Oh..." Tohru started beating against her head. "I'm so stupid!" She said.

"Tohru, believe me, its nothing you did. He just carried you to your room and everything so he's just a little shy around you now."

"He carried me? How can that be?" She asked Shigure.

"Tohru, don't you remember?" Shigure asked.

"Remember what?" She asked.

"Our whole adventure? You meeting the other two zodiac members? Akito trying to kill us all? You in that maze? Don't you rememeber anything?!" Shigure was looking her straight in the eyes.

Tohru just simply said, "No. I don't."
