Kuro Hashi – Ch. 7 – Cures and Kidnappings

"UWAAAH! Shia-san, do you think maybe you broke the curse?" Tohru questioned, with starry eyes. Shia shook her head no.

"I think it was just a weak surge of power. I would be surprised if even Momiji-chan is cured for good…if he's cured at all…" Tohru looked disappointed. "But we can always test it out, Tohru-san."

"You're right!" Tohru exclaimed right before she embraced Momiji-chan, who seemed very happy to be getting lots of hugs. Tohru gasped. "Shia-san, you really did it! Uwaaahh! Do you think the other members of the zodiac are cured as well?"

"No. My powers are not strong enough to cure so many people at once. There is only one person I know with powers that strong…and he wouldn't dare use them for something like this."

"Who?"

Shia didn't respond.

"Shia-san…is…is something wrong?"

"He's not dead, Shia. He isn't even seriously injured. I can guarantee that he's going to come back," stated Haru. Shia couldn't take it anymore. She ran down the hallway, only to find a familiar face.

"Ah…Kyou-kun…"

"What do you want?" he responded.

"I want to get back to my village. I heard from Shigure-sama that you were training in the mountains for a while, but then came back here. You must have a fairly good sense of direction…"

"I'm not taking you back."

"But…why not?"

"I'm not letting you go until I do something."

"What…do you have to do?"

"Not telling." He grinned.

"Shia! Kyou! Tohru's gone! Tohru's gone!" shouted Momiji.

"WHAT? WHERE THE HELL COULD SHE BE?"

"Momiji and I were watching TV, while Tohru was making lunch. Next thing we knew, she had disappeared. A mystery…" explained Haru.

"Did you…hear anything? Footsteps? The door opening?" Shia inquired. Haru shook his head. "Then you were right, Haru. It's him." She sighed. "We have to go find him, and I think I know where he might be. Kyou, Momiji, Haru, we're going on a little trip."

"WHY DO I HAVE TO GO?" Kyou shouted.

"Because you're starting to grow on me."

"YAAAAAY! We're going on a journey!" exclaimed Momiji.

Mit: Nuuuuuu! Poor Tohru! She makes good food…

(image of Phillip appears in Mit's head)

Mit: You're right, Phillip! When things go wrong, I must keep smiling!

Bob: You have serious mental problems.

Mit: Thank you.
