This chapter is odd just to let all know!

Chapter 8- Alone and Lonely

" He hasn't come back home yet?"

" No. and he left almost three hours ago…" Tohru said, now becoming frightened that something might have happened to Kyo.

" Don't worry," Yuki said placing a hand on her shoulder. " I'm sure Kyo will come back."

Tohru nodded, then went outside. She looked around for him, but didn't see him at all. The sun had gone down a while ago now, and Tohru felt like something had happened to him. She bit her bottom lip as she looked even harder into the darkness. But still, she saw nothing. No one. No signs of movement.

" Tohru, c'mon. When you wake up tomorrow morning, Kyo will be back." Yuki said, pulling Tohru back into the house, up the stairs and into her room. " Now its late. And you need some sleep. So go to sleep." Yuki left the room, closing the door behind him.

" Love will conquer all!" Shigure said as Yuki entered the kitchen.

" yeah. Only, I don't know if its love with Honda-san or just the thought of Kyo being hurt making her nervous…"

Shigure shrugged, somewhat agreeing with Yuki.

He shivered over and over from the cold. He opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything but the black that covered the walls. A noise filled the room, and the door slowly opened. Kyo looked towards the door only to look away when the light from the other room blinded him.

" Kyo? Kyo are you okay?" A familiar and worried voice called.

" Momi..ji?"

" Kyo your okay!" He said happily. " Here Kyo, I brought you a blanket." Momiji placed the blanket over Kyo and sat in front of him.

" If Akito finds you in here you will be in big trouble."

" I don't care. Its my fault that your in hear Kyo! I'm sorry…"

Kyo looked at Momiji, a bit confused.

" That day me, you, and Tohru went to the park. Well when I came home, Akito asked me where I had been. And I told him with you and Tohru. And after that he said he was going to punish you…"

Momiji had started to cry, making Kyo feel bad for him.

" Momiji, its not your fault. But you could do me a favor. Can you go to Shigures house tomorrow and tell Yuki what happened. Tell that…"

Kyo had told Momiji to go to Shigures house and tell Yuki everything. How he stuck up to Akito, how Kyo was going to be locked away if he hadn't beaten Yuki by is last year in school. And other things.

" Of course Kyo. I'll go tomorrow first thing…"

Kyo placed a hand on top of Momiji's head. " Thanks kid…" he said.

Momiji nodded and went to go leave, before he stopped again. " By the way, Hatori should be coming in tonight to fix you up…" with that, Momiji left.

Tohru awoke the next morning to talking. She yawned, stretched her arms and left her room. When she heard Momiji's voice, and him say something about Kyo, she stopped on that stairs to listen.

" And if he didn't beat you by the end of his last school year, then he would have been locked in the cage. And yesterday when he went to go see Akito, Kyo talked back to him. Akito became angry, and he threw him in the cage early then he was supposed to go in there."

After hearing what she had just heard, Tohru went into shock.

" We cant tell Tohru. Got it Momiji? So I want you to stay here with her so she doesn't become suspicious. Tell her me and Kyo went out cause Shigure needed something."

" Ok…" Momiji said.

Tohru blinked, coming out of her little trance and ran back up the steps.

" No one is keeping me in this house…" she said, quickly changing into clothe. She snuck out when no one was by the door, and made her way to the Sohma resident.

She looked around, being more careful then she had ever been in her life. She new they place very well also, so it wasn't hard to find the room that Momiji was talking about. And when she did find the room, two people were standing in front of the room like they were guards. So, Tohru just stood there, waiting patiently for the right moment to come.

It was about an hour later when the to people had left. And Tohru only had one chance to make it in the room without no one noticing. She ran quickly, but quite. She opened the door, and closed it real fast. The light that had peered through the door had given her enough time to see where Kyo was.

He was leaning against the same wall as the night before. He eyes were tightly closed, and he seemed to be asleep. His hand was over his broken rib. And dry blood was around his mouth. Not much, but still some from his coughing he had done.

Tohru walked up to him, not wanting to wake him up. She kneeled down in front of him, and pushed some of his hair out of his face. His eyes squinted a little bit, but he didn't wake up.

" don't worry Kyo, Yuki will be here soon to. Then we can get you out of here…" she said, just sitting there staring at him. Hoping and wishing for him to wake up.

……………………………….

" What do you mean she isn't in here? She has to be!" Yuki yelled loudly to Momiji.

" No Yuki. I know where she is. She is at the house where Kyo is. She must have heard us this morning. And now she is there. Trying to help him…"

Yuki took no time to run out of the house, heading towards the Sohma resident as well.

" Why Yuki, what brings you so…un-expectantly?" Akito asked as Yuki came up to the door.

" Kyo came here last night. He wouldn't have still been here would he?" he asked, trying to sound as if he didn't know anything.

………………………………...

She looked over his body, making sure he was okay. He seemed to be bandaged up, and doing okay.

" Please Kyo, just hold on. I know you can, I no that your not week."

………………………………...

" No Yuki, I am sorry but Kyo did leave last night." Akito said, lying deeply.

" You're are such a pathetic liar Akito!" Yuki shouted.

" We know that Kyo is here, in the cage!" Momiji said, appearing after Yuki.

" So let him go Akito…"

All three of them turned to see Shigure standing there. His arms crossed from annoyance.

" That boy doesn't belong in there. He is only a teenager. He has a life to live, now let him free!" Shigure demanded.

" Who do you all think you are? I control this house, and I set the rules. You are not to disobey them at all!"

" And what would you do if we did Akito? Were doing it now, and I don't see you doing anything about it." Yuki said, crossing his arms as well.

Akito grinned, and went to go hit Yuki when he was blocked by someone.

" No one touches Yuki without my permission…" Haru said, standing next to Yuki.

" What the hell is this? Why are you doing this. You know the four of you cant beat me!" he shouted.

" Yeah, we know. But it wouldn't hurt to try, now would it!" Yuki shouted, barging past Akito and into the house.

Akito quickly turned around, and grabbed Yuki by the arm.

" What the hell did I just say?" Haru said, knocking Akito in the head.

………………………………...

Tohru listened as she herd all the talking that had just been done. Tears slowly came to her eyes.

" See Kyo, they all came for you. Your not alone anymore. You have people that care for you. But they cant help you if you don't get up!" she shouted, wanting to shack him but new she shouldn't.

" Tohru…?" Kyo mumbled, opening his eyes. " Tohru, what are you doing here? Your going to get yourself hurt!"

" Kyo every one is out there right now, helping you. We've come to get yo-" Tohru was cut off by a huge bang, a scream from Yuki, then a snicker from Akito.

At that moment the door slowly opened, and Akito walked in, blood on his shirt and face…
