I'm finishing this!" So thankyou all again so very much for the reviews. Here's chapter 2 at long last - (note: Does not own FB)

"The Visit"

"Tohru!" Kyo called down the hall. He looked around frantically while trying to tie one of his shoes at the same time. He tripped on the first step of the stairs and fell face first. He picked himself up and shook his head.

"Ah! Dammit!" he cursed as he got up and looked around for any sign of Tohru. He decided to check in the downstairs bathroom.

Shigure watched with great interest as Kyo ran in one direction, and Tohru came down from another, frantically searching for Kyo. She ran towards the kitchen while trying to tie her hair in two braids, almost running into the wall.

Shigure giggled to himself, although, he knew that their visit today was no laughing matter. His smile disappeared when he remembered who it was that Kyo and Tohru were preparing to see today, and it made him strangely uncomfortable, even if Hatori was going to be with them.

"Shigure...?" asked Tohru.

Shigure finally snapped out of his thoughts and saw Tohru standing in front of him after calming down, while Kyo waited in the backround at the door for her to annouce their exit. She bowed politely to Shigure and smiled.

"Thankyou for arranging this urgent meeting for us. We will be leaving now." she said while turning to Kyo. She smiled when he tilted his head away slightly and blushed a bit, still being uncomfortalbe with the fact that Shigure was watching them. She turned back to Shigure and was about to speak again when he held up his hand to her, halting her words.

"Tohru...just be safe...ok?" was all he could manage to say without letting the worry in his voice slip out. He then spun her around before she could respond and led her towards the door. Kyo rolled his eyes, relieved that they were finally just going to get this over with.

Sure he was afraid, mostly for Tohru's sake, but the fact that they had been waiting so long was making him even more nervous and uncomfortable. He started ahead of Tohru and turned slightly to see her waving good-bye to Shigure as the front door.

His eyes suddenly gazed upwards and saw a lean figure staring out his window at them, his expression a blank one. Kyo blinked and stopped as he saw the figure lean on his window sill, staring at Kyo with a piercing glare.

Don't let him hurt her...Protect her with everything you have...

Kyo swore that he could hear the figure's thoughts, or perhaps it was the way he was being stared at. He only smirked in return to the look he was recieving, and waved his hand behind him as he turned and continued, Tohru following close behind.

Don't you worry...I will make sure she is safe...

The figure smiled.

Stupid cat...

Kyo closed his eyes and nodded.

Damn straight...you damn rat...

--------------------------------------

"Kyo. Tohru. This way..." The Dragon turned and led them inside the compound of the Sohma estate. His face was very serious, even though he was fearing for the safety of the two. His eye shifted and look next to him where Kyo was walking, straight and tall, a look of determination in his eyes. Hatori knew that Kyo would protect Tohru with his own life, if necessary, but he was also unsure of the fact that Kyo's strength might not be enough, and he knew that he, himself, could never go against Akito's orders.

Kyo and Tohru stopped as they neared their destination. Hatori went in first, to make sure that all was ready for their visit. He slowly shut the door behind him, while Kyo and Tohru waited anxiously for him to come out.

Twenty minutes passed, and not a sound was heard from inside Akito's chambers. Kyo was pacing back and forth, the way a man does right before his wife gives birth to their first child, and Tohru was sitting on her knees on the floor against the wall, watching him as he nervously walked from one end of the hall to the other.

Tohru's eyes lowered to the ground. She couldn't help but feel that all this was her fault. She was not denying the fact that she loved Kyo dearly, nor was she wishing it to be any other way. But, she was so scared of what Akito might do, mostly to Kyo. She knew that Kana had never been physically injured by Akito, but Hatori had, and that's how Kana eventually lost herself. If anything ever happened to Kyo because of Akito, it would be all her fault. She felt tears welling up in her eyes as she thought of the many possibilities in which he could be hurt due to her pathetic existence.

Thoru suddenly felt a hand on hers and she looked up. Kyo was staring at her lovingly and softly brushed her bangs out of her face. Tohru blushed slightly at his sudden display of emotion, but smiled in return.

"Don't cry Tohru...everything will be all right..." Kyo said as he knelt next to her and pulled her close to him, their bodies not yet touching. Tohru nodded and leaned her head on his shoulder, releasing a huge sigh.

Kyo will protect me...but how I protect him? she thought to herself.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard and someone crashed through Akito's door, destroying it immediately, and landed against the wall, unconsious. Tohru brought her hands up to her mouth to keep herself from screaming, and Kyo rushed to his cousin's side.

"Hatori! Hey! What happened!" he shouted. He didn't know what to do, and was about to attempt to lift Hatori over his shoulder when a quiet and harsh voice was heard.

"Come in...now..." said the voice in a dangerously low tone.

Kyo snapped his head to look at Tohru, who was, in return, staring wide-eyed at him as well. They both turned towards Akito's dark and silent room, fear begining to get the best of them. Kyo looked at Hatori, who had a small cut on his forehead, and was still not waking up.

I can't just leave him here! He needs help! he thought to himself, wondering what to do.

"Did you two not hear my orders?" the same voice repeated. "COME IN NOW..." he commanded. Tohru wrapped her arms around her body and stood up slowly. Kyo saw that she had started towards the room, afraid of what Akito might do if she didn't obey.

Kyo turned back to Hatori and stood up, bowing his head apologetically.

I'm sorry Hatori...but I have to make sure that he doesn't hurt Tohru...But I will come back out and help you.

Kyo turned and headed into the room as well, disappearing into it's dark light.

Well, that's all for chapter 2! Sorry if it was short. Chapter 3 soon! Maybe one more chapter after that, and then it'z allz done! Thankyou!
