AN/ Not as many reviews this time…Where o where have my loyal fans gone::tear: so0oo0o I was role-playing the end of the Furuba series with a friend (becuz when Kyo graduates he has to go into that dark room NOOOOO! I won't let you! At least letm ego with him!) Poor Kyo…"Is there any possible way I can be held back?" rofl. Poor kyo…he had fear in his eyes. ANYWAYS it gave me the perfect idea for Akito's plot and where I'll be going with this story! And better news for you…it won't have to end as soon as Saturday comes! (Saturday in the story that is) So, here we go… (You are so going to kill me at what Akito is plotting, I'm going to be very evil! Lol SORRY! But don't worry, I have nothing tortuous planned, he will not be killing or anything…pretty sure hehe )

As Yuki, Tohru and Shigure were enjoying dinner, Kyo was in his room; thinking. 'What could Shishou want to talk about? He seemed almost afraid. Something's not right.' His diary lay untouched under his mattress. Kyo was itching to write in it, but figured it better to wait until after dinner. He would have more to say then, and he didn't want lose track of time. He needed to leave by six-thirty. He looked over at his clock for what seemed like the hundredth time. 6:10. The clock always seemed to go slower when he was anticipating something, which was very rare for him. He got up and started pacing. Eventually, giving up, he grabbed his coat and left. Shishou wouldn't mind if he came a little early right?

&&&&&&

"Why isn't Kyo eating with us?" asked Shigure, ignorantly realizing that he wasn't there.

"He's having dinner at Shishou-san's tonight. He came by after school today." Tohru replied. Shigure looked hurt and folded his arms.

"You saw Kazuma today?" he scoffed. "He didn't come to see me!" Yuki rolled his eyes at his older cousin.

"Shigure, stop whining."

&&&&&&

Kyo paused for a moment in front of Shishou's house. He was a half-hour early. Kyo walked around back and peered out from behind the wall. Kazuma was sitting on the ground, legs folded, and staring at the sky. "Sh…Shishou?" Kazuma jumped a little, startled.

"Kyo…you're early." Kyo looked down at his feet.

"I'm sorry." Kazuma patted his hand on the ground beside him motioning Kyo to come and sit with him. Kyo walked over and knelt next to him. "Shishou, what's wrong? I know something's up." Kazuma sighed a heavy sigh. His face looked like he hadn't slept in days.

"Let's discuss it over dinner. Come on, it should be ready by now." Kyo followed him nervously, he didn't sound too good.

"Wait, you didn't cook it, did you?" Kyo inquired nervously. Kazuma smiled weakly.

"No I didn't cook it. I ordered out." Kyo felt a little relieved, but just a little. They sat down and began eating. "Kyo…I have to tell you something; about Akito. I think he my be plotting something. Hatori said a lot of noise has been coming from his room, but when he peeked in, there was no one there. Kyo he is acting very strange, especially around members of the zodiac. And for some reason Kisa seems terrified these days." He sighed. "Just be on your guard." Kyo raised his eyebrows.

"What do you think he is doing?"

"I don't know, but it can't be good…maybe you should stay here…"

"You don't trust me anymore? I mean, you act like he's going to abduct me or something." Kazuma's face tightened and his voice became louder.

"Look Kyo! I overheard him talking to Kisa! What he said was NOT GOOD!" he sighed and buried his face in his hands. "I just want you to be careful…ok?" he said calmer. When he took his hands down, Kyo saw such a great combination of love and fear for him, that he softened.

"Ok…" he whispered. They were silent for a time; but then a single applaud broke their nothingness.

"Bravo Kazuma, bravo." An eerie voice came from the door. "You're very smart did you know that?" Kazuma and Kyo looked over in horror and saw Akito standing in the doorway. Akito laughed. "You're right, Kazuma-dono, I am doing something. And at the risk of warning the others, I believe I will extend Kyo's invitation to the Main House, to tonight, instead of Saturday. And…" he added with a sly grin. "…just as a precaution, you should probably come too, Kazuma." Kyo jumped up, his hands in clenched fists.

"And what makes you think we'll just go with you? We can take you down easily!" Akito pulled a small black box with a red button from his pocket. He stretched out his arm to show them. "

There is a small Hydrogen bomb beneath your house, Kyo. At midnight tonight, it will defuse and become harmless…but that still leaves me five hours to destroy it and everyone inside. And that includes Miss Tohru Honda." Akito tossed it into the air and caught it. "So…what will it be?" Kazuma and Kyo were out of options. There was no way to escape this. Kyo put his head down in defeat.

"All right Akito." He said softly. "Let's go." Akito started laughing loudly as he grabbed both of them by the arm and led them away.

&&&&&&

Akito took Kazuma and Kyo to the dark, special, room; just for the cat. He unlocked the door and shoved both of them inside. They both fell face-first onto the cement. The door slammed shut behind them. "You know cat, this will be your permanent home in a just one short year…I'm quite looking forward to it." Akito relocked the solid steel door. "See you on Saturday." He hissed, his footsteps fading away.

As hours passed, Kyo and Kazuma huddled in the corner as the freezing cold, winter, night air blew all around them. It took a while, but eventually they fell asleep. And for the first time in his life, Kyo was truly scared.

&&&&&&

Tohru awoke early the next morning, as she always did. As she got up and stretched, she felt awkward. The house was completely silent. She climbed down the stairs and looked around. Kyo wasn't up yet. 'Well, he did come in late last night, I didn't even hear him. Everyone must have been asleep.' She began to make breakfast. Soon, Shigure and even Yuki had gotten up, and Tohru was worried about Kyo. She cracked open the door to his room; he wasn't there! "Shigure!" Tohru ran downstairs. "Shigure Kyo-kun's gone!"

"Gone? Gone where?"

"I don't know, just gone! He never came home from Shishou-san's last night."

"He probably stayed over, I'm sure he's fine." Tohru sniveled. "Here, I'll call Kazuma- kun, then you'll feel better, right?" Tohru nodded; Shigure smiled. He dialed Kazuma's number, but nobody answered. Shigure hung up. "That's strange, nobody answered.

"Shii-han's not home?" Yuki asked. "That's unusual, it's seven in the morning, where could he have gone?"

"Maybe he's asleep?" Tohru offered. Yuki shook his head.

"Nah, he gets up as early as that stupid cat does." Now Tohru was really worried.

"I'll go and visit him today. Don't worry, I'm sure Kyo will be at school." Yuki and Tohru finished breakfast and took off for school; Shigure went back to bed. He figured he could go visit after a few more hours of sleep.

&&&&&&

"Gah! I'm hungry. Stupid Akito is just going to starve us isn't he?" Kyo yelled. Kazuma was very quiet. He kept thinking about what Akito said…"You know, this will be your permanent home in just one short year. I'm quite looking forward to it." Kyo looked at him funny. "Are you ok?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah I guess so. As good as can be anyway. How are you doing?"

"I'm hungry." Kazuma laughed.

"I can tell." They heard a thump in the corner of the room. Kyo crawled over and got it; it was a box. "What's in it?"

"Two granola bars and a water bottle. Gee thanks Akito."

"You have it. A granola bar isn't a meal. I'll be fine."

"No you won't. We're sharing." Kyo chucked one at him. "Eat it."

&&&&&&

Shigure knocked on Kazuma's door. "Hello? Kazuma-kun? Kyo? Anyone?" He let himself in. Kyo and Kazuma's unfinished dinner was still there, and their shoes were by the door.

"Looking for someone Shigure?" Shigure jumped. "I'm sorry. Did I startle you?"

"Akito? What are you doing here?"

"The same as you. It seems Kazuma has vanished. His shoes are still here."

"Yes, he and Kyo are gone."

"Really? That's unfortunate. Well, I can't say that I've seen them." He held out an envelope to Shigure. "Here, this is for you; and for Yuki. I hope you will both join me this Saturday night at the Main House. I have something to show you." Akito stood up. "Well then, see you Saturday." He left leaving Shigure feeling very confused.

&&&&&&

Kazuma watched Kyo intently; he was doing sit-ups. "You know, if you do that any longer, you're going to break in half." Kyo stopped for a moment.

"What else is there to do?" Kyo asked lazily. Kazuma was frozen solid. "Hello?" His eyes were fixated on one spot.

"Isn't that Hatori over there?" It was true, Hatori was walking past and looked very dazed. Kyo sprinted to the window.

"Hey! Hatori!" Hatori lifted his head and looked around; not noticing them. "HATORI!" He finally saw them and rushed over.

"Kyo? Kazuma? What are you doing in there?"

"Starving." Kyo said angrily

"Ignore him, he's delirious. Akito put us in here."

"Why?"

"Because we know something that is going to happen to everyone. Akito is plotting something."

"Would it have anything to do with this? Hatori slid an envelope under the door. Kazuma opened it and held it up to the light.

Hatori,

Please join me this Saturday at the Main House

I have something to show you.

Akito

PS. This is not a request. If you fail to comply, something rather unpleasant will occur to Miss Honda. Keep this a secret.

"Rumor is, that everyone in the zodiac has one." Kyo scoffed at this.

"And, of course, I, am not invited."

"I think that's a good thing Kyo." Kazuma directed his attention back to Hatori. "He threatened Honda-kun again?"

"Again?"

"Yes, that's why we're in here."

"We could have taken him down easily!" yelled Kyo.

"Hatori, you had better get going." Kazuma warned. Hatori nodded, understanding. Akito could really hurt them for his visiting.

"I'll come back."

"Bring food with you!" Kyo called after him.

"Is all you can think about food?" Kazuma asked s Hatori, shaken up pretty bad, walked away.

"Yes." Kazuma smiled at him. "What's that look for?"

"Nothing."

"You're starting to freak me out." Kyo started to do sit-ups again.

"Sorry. So, I guess I leave you to your sit-ups." He said childishly.

"Come on Shishou, I bet I can do more sit-ups than you!"

"You're on!" Kazuma challenged; and the sound of competition filled the air. Though this one, although filled with taunts, was mostly filled with laughter. And whether or not Kyo realized, he was having fun. Kazuma pushed Kyo over in defeat.

"Shishou I think you're getting weaker."

"Maybe…maybe…"

Hatori got into his car and sped off blindly down the road.. What did Akito do? Why? And threatening Honda-kun like that! He knew Akito was dirty, but he just couldn't imagine him pulling this kind of stunt. He turned sharply in front of Shigure's house and staggered out. Shigure, hearing the sound of squealed tires, came outside and saw Hatori sprinting towards him. "Haa-san? I've never seen you so energetic! And for me? I'm touched!" Hatori was in shock and crashed into him, knocking him over. "Hatori? What happened?"

A few hours later, Yuki and Tohru came in from school. Shigure and Hatori sat on the couch, both looking very pale. "Yuki? We need to talk to you alone for a minute."

"I'll go start dinner then." Said Tohru going into the kitchen. She would ask Shigure about Kyo in a little while.

"Shigure? What's wrong?" Yuki asked.

"Kyo and Kazuma…" Shigure started off.

"What about them?"

"It's Akito."
