Chapter 16

THERE IS A SPOILER IN HERE!!! JUST TO LET YOU KNOW!!

"Damn! How did all this happen?!" Kyo said stomping about.

"Sit down Kyo, your stomping around isn't helping." Shigure said.

"Well just sitting here isn't going to help either!!!" He exploded. He strided up to Yuki and picked him up by his collar. "And why didn't you save her huh?! She believed in you!"

"She believed in you too!" He shot back in his face. Kyo bit his bottom lip holding back the urge to say something that would really shake up everyone. What he wanted to say was, 'Yeah, but your the one that helped her all those years back! She still hasn't forgotten about you still today! She even has your hat in her room sitting on her dresser!' But that would have shaken everyone up too badly and that was not needed right now.

"Okay, we all need to think about this rationally."

"RATIONALLY?! TOHRU JUST GOT STOLEN AWAY AND YOU SAY TO THINK RATIONALLY?!?!?!" Kyo screamed.

"You stupid cat. If you don't shut up she'll die before we figure out where she is!" Yuki declared.

"What did you say?!" Kyo yelled.

"Guys!" Shigure pushed them apart again. "Your fighting is not helping us find Tohru." He pointed out calmly. The twins walked up to the boys. Izumi placed a hand on Kyo's chest and Yume held onto Yuki's arm.

"You know Kyo, he's right." Izumi whispered sweetly.

"Yeah, we know you guys care about her a lot, but the only way to find her, is to think. We can't just start accusing each other for our loss." Yume said. The boys looked at the door to the cave and then back at the girls. They sighed. Shigure smiled and then remembered something.

"Aren't you girls psychic?" He asked.

"Yes..." Yume answered.

"We sort of have to be to do this." Izumi floated off the ground in the air.

"Well then can you pinpoint where Akito is taking Tohru?"

The girls exchanged glances. Yume spoke. "Personally, we have never been strong enough to find Akito."

"And we have barely known Tohru, we'd have to pull our powers together to find her."

"Then do that!" Kyo's eyes widened with hope.

The girls looked down afraid and doubtful. "Well," Izumi started.

"We... we can't." Yume finished. Yuki grasped her arms tightly.

"Why can't you?!" He shook her.

"Ow!" She exclaimed. Izumi pushed him away from her and stood protectively of her.

"You don't understand! We don't have enough power to do it! If we did this, we could possibly... we could possibly..."

"Disappear forever..." The reappeared Aya finished for them. Kyo's hope as well as Yuki's disappeared from their eyes and souls. The girls couldn't bear to look them in the eyes. Kyo balled his hand into a fist.

"But you can do it?" He asked.

The girls looked at him and nodded.

"What are you thinking? They could disappear forever!" Yuki raised his voice.

"What other choice do we have?!"

"There is always another way and in this situation, we must look for her on foot." Shigure answered.

"But where do we look?" Kyo asked.

"Look were it would be most but less obvious." Aya replied. "Where is the one place that he would go because he thinks you guys know that it's so obvious that it can't be there?" She riddled.

Everyone was deep in thought. It hit them all at the same time.

"The family estate!" They reasoned.

"Now my hostage, how do you want to die?" Akito asked. Tohru was struggling all she could but she wasn't breaking free of all the ropes and chains she had on her. She had about a dozen sets of each wrapped all around her body, arms and legs. She had a gag in her mouth as well. A muffled reply came from her mouth.

"Oh, so you don't have a choice? Okay, I'll kill you off nice and slow." He walked over to a box in the middle of the room. "Personally, I love the idea of crushing you with walls that move in and you can't move." He pressed a button and the walls started moving in. Tohru didn't panic; she could get herself out of this jam. At least they don't have...

"Oh, and just to make sure, you don't escape...Lets add spikes shall we?" It was as if he read her mind. She panicked, yelled and kicked and screamed. The gag finally fell out. Akito was leaving the room at that moment.

"Akito!!!" She cried but all he did was shut the door. She looked around her. The walls were moving faster now and she didn't have much time to get out of her rope-chain prison. Faster and faster the walls came closer. She struggled and kicked and punched and bled. She couldn't get out of the ropes and chains as hard as she tried. Where was that other side of her when she needed it? She was sure that the other side would certainly burn the ropes and psychically unlock the locks and would have been out of there in about two minutes. Of course, she did not have that side. She was only Tohru, the girl who knew nothing of the family curse and yet was being punished for the thought that she did know. What kind of insanity was that? Extreme insanity obviously. She still couldn't move and she was more entrapped then ever. This was it. She was going to die right there right now.

A little bit away from touching her, the spikes were thirsty for blood.

Something hit Kyo, Yuki, Shigure and the rest of the gang.

"She's in trouble!" Yuki and Kyo exclaimed together. They ran faster down the path that led to the estate. Yuki started choking. Kyo stopped when Yuki fell to the ground.

"What a great time for your asthma to kick in!" He exclaimed. Yuki held his chest, breathing deeply.

"Go... on... Save... her..." He said taking a breath between each word. Shigure finally caught up with them.

"Go! Save her. She's in deep danger right now! Save her before its too late!" Shigure said taking care of Yuki. Kyo nodded and ran off.

'She's in trouble and yet again, I can do nothing about it... Can I make it there in time? No. No, no whats, ifs or buts about it. I will make it there in time. I have to.'
