"Where did the explosion come from?" Kyo asked running after Tohru.
"It sounded like somewhere close by."
"Could it be possible that he tore apart the house?" Yuki asked.
"Right now, Akito is capable of doing anything. There is a very large possibility that he just wiped out our school as well!" Tohru exclaimed making a point. Everyone ran quicker until Momiji saw smoke.
"Look Tohru!" He exclaimed.
"Oh no!" Tohru ran more rapidly, jumping over obstacles and leaping out of traps' ways didn't slow her down one bit. She approached their house before any of the others even made it to the road leading to the house.
"Our house…" She trailed off. She stared in sorrow at their ravaged house. She fell to her knees.
"Hey Tohru!" Kyo called running towards their house. "You shouldn't run off so fast it's…" Kyo totally stopped looking at their house and Tohru.
"My house!" Shigure cried.
"Akito will not get away with this." Tohru whispered facing away from the group. "Is everyone ready for the biggest thing to happen in their lives?" She asked.
Kisa walked up to Tohru and touched her arm. "We're ready sissy." Tohru smiled and hugged Kisa one last time.
"Alright, lets go."
"Geez Shigure, why didn't you tell us there was such a huge place under our house?" Kyo asked.
"What's the point of telling you? So you can hide away from Tohru when you said something mean to her? Or to hide away from Yuki so he won't beat you up?" Shigure replied.
"Shut up! I would not!"
Yuki clasped a hand over Kyo's mouth.
"Shut up stupid cat. You'll have us found in an instant."
"Don't call me stupid!" He whispered angrily.
"I still feel bad about leaving Kagura all by herself." Hatori complained.
"It's Kagura, she'll be alright. Hell knows even in her sleep she could viciously fight someone off." Kyo assured.
"No time to be worried, we have a war to fight."
"I'M SORRY!" Ritsu screamed. He had tripped over something and was screaming apologies.
"Shigure…" Kyo said annoyed. Shigure poked Ritsu in the side and Ritsu fell down again.
"What did he trip over?" Yuki wondered.
Everyone gasped. A skeleton was lying in the middle of the walkway. Hands flew as mouths opened. Everyone ended up blocking another person's mouth from making a sound.
"O-okay… We can deal with this… Just keep walking and no one say anything…" Izumi said a little freaked out.
"Ha ha… I think that is very wise sister…" Yume said holding onto Izumi.
"We're here." Tohru announced.
Everyone stepped through the end of the tunnel only to be greeted by Akito's ready and willing army.
"What is your plan this time Akito? Do you plan to erase my mind yourself and everyone's mind along with it?" Tohru asked struggling to get out of her ropes. She only succeeded in gaining blisters and rope burn.
"Oh that's not my intention at all. I won't be doing it that way. Of course, it's only fair to have a surprise waiting for you. After all, I do believe I missed your birthday." Akito smiled straight at Shigure. Suddenly Shigure stood up and stood next to Akito.
(A/N ok, for those of you who just absolutely hate spoilers, do not read this… otherwise, I again am so sorry. I didn't find this out until after I finished this chapter but Akito actually is a girl and other things actually do happen… so again, I did not steal that idea. I just apparently think like the people who write these stories. I wouldn't be surprised if Yuki turned out to be a girl as well…)
"Can anyone guess why Shigure is standing up here?" Everyone remained silent. They were baffled as to how he got out of his ropes. Did he even get tied up? "Okay, well seeing that you are not too bright, let me demonstrate." Akito grabbed the back of Shigure's head and pulled it toward him. Akito deeply kissed Shigure and Shigure tried to hold the kiss for a while but eventually, Akito backed away from him.
Everyone was in shock. Kyo's mouth dropped to the ground. Yuki's mouth dropped through the ground and Tohru's dropped through the ground and back through the ceiling.
"Shigure and I are dating. We are lovers."
"Okay, that is extremely gross. Not in front of the children come on! Your both guys for crying out loud!" Kyo yelled.
"Actually, that's where you're wrong Kyo." Hatori replied. "Akito is a girl." Everyone's mouths dropped again.
"A-a-a-a-a-a g-g-g-g-g-girl!" The group exploded.
"Yes, and I have been in her plan this whole time. Even when I went to talk to you, Tohru, after Kyo had transformed. It was all in the plan. All of it."
"Wait. So we trusted you and you betrayed us?" Tohru asked out of frustration.
"It was my job, my duty to Akito."
Tohru's eyes started welling up with anguished tears.
"You…" Kyo whispered.
"Hm…" Akito glanced back from Tohru to Kyo and Yuki. "I think the first thing we should do is help Ms. Honda get over her betraying friend, don't you agree Shigure?" Akito snapped and her guards were all over the others. Shigure walked up to Tohru, picking her up by her kimono.
"Sorry Tohru, I really did get close to you." Shigure walked outside through a secret passageway leading to the side of a mountain cliff. Tohru fought and yelled for help. She kicked and struggled but to no avail. Eventually, Shigure knocked her out.
"Now how cute is that?" Akito asked snickering. She turned back to look at Yuki and Kyo, a big, malicious smile on her face. "Won't you just be so happy when she's gone? Not as if you'll remember her. Once Shigure gets back, he will erase all of your memories of that psychotic bitch."
"Damn you Akito."
"Oh Kyo…" Akito walked over to Kyo and placed her index finger under his chin bring his face closer to hers. "I know you must be mad, losing the girl you love and all, but it really is for the best. I'm only doing this for all of you. Can't you see that that girl has come in and stolen you all away from what you really are? She's an evil witch that must be punished."
"Don't speak about sissy like that!" Kisa cried out. Akito glared at her. She walked over to her.
"Haven't you had enough child? Haven't you learned your lesson yet!" Akito drew back her hand ready to hit Kisa when Hiro tackled her down.
"Stay away from Kisa, don't you dare touch her!" He said strangling Akito. Kisa jumped up from her position revealing that her hands were not tied. She kicked some guards in the face and untied Momiji. While Kisa continued to fight, Momiji set the next person free and fought afterwards. This continued until everyone was free, all the guards were down and they were all ready to fight Akito. Akito cursed and ran down the secret passageway. Kyo and Yuki were the firsts to start running after her. The passageway started closing up before any of them had made it. Kyo ran through with ease, Yuki slid through a second later and Ritsu rolled under the door at the last second. They didn't spend much time looking and chatting, they continued running until the came to an opening. Outside the opening, Shigure held Tohru over the cliff by her neck, ready to drop at any second.
