Chapter 9- Broken Curse…

Tohru looked at Akito, petrified. He looked insane- from the fact that he is insane…- standing there, a small knife if his hands, and blood stains on him.

" You…you didn't think you would come here and not be punished, did you?" he asked Tohru as he walked closer to her.

" Stay away from her Akito…"

" Shut up you damn monster. I have no concern in you anymore. You are going to die and rot in this place. I'm going to make sure of it. And for the girl, well she is just going to be a nice gift for me…" he snickered, coming even closer to Tohru.

" A gift? I'm not going to be a gift, and especially for you!" Tohru shouted, even though she new she shouldn't have.

Akito grinned, and swung the knife at her. She moved to the side, only letting the knife to make a small slit on her cheek. She wiped the running blood off of it, and turned her attention back to Akito.

" I said…" kyo started to push himself up, using the wall to help. " Leave her alone!" he shouted, before swing a punch at his face, and getting a nice shot.

Akito stumbled back a few feet, just enough for the door to be open so Kyo and Tohru could run through.

" C'mon Tohru!" Kyo grabbed her hand and lead her towards the door, the light still blinding him.

" Oh no you don't!" Akito brought his arm up, and swung it at Tohru.

It stabbed through her side creating a huge gash.

" AH! Kyo!"

Kyo stopped and looked at Tohru. She was bleeding badly, and was now leaning against the wall. Akito was still on the floor, and went to go hit her again when Kyo stepped on his hand and made him drop the knife. He then grabbed Tohru's hand again, and they left the room only seconds later.

" Kyo, are you alright…?" Yuki asked standing up. He was holding his arm from a cut that Akito had made.

" Yeah…but Toh…ru…" he said, before him and both Tohru fainted.

His eyes slowly opened. He blinked once or twice to try to adjust to the lighting in the room.

" I see your finally awake…" Yuki said as Kyo sat up, grabbing his side quickly from the pain that rushed through his body. " Hatori said it isn't broken, even though that's what we all thought. But it is badly hurt. You should be fine by tomorrow…"

" What about To-"

" Honda-san, she's right next to you, sleeping. Hatori bandaged her up for us to. She has a really bad cut, so she might take a while to wake up… she lost to much blood, Hatori said she's still lucky to be alive…but we have to watch out for her. And make sure nothing happens to her."

Kyo looked over at her. She was asleep, but the pain from her side was rushing through her body making her uncomfortable.

" its my fault. If she hadn't come to get me, she would still be fine…"

" yeah, but you would still be locked in that room. Who knows, Akito did finally snap so he might have just killed you for the fun of it…"

" won't he come for us though?" Kyo asked.

" He will most likely. But, I think Shigure can handle it. Every one of the zodiac finally realized that we don't have to be afraid of Akito anymore. We finally know that we don't have to listen to him. He never helped us anyways. So that's why none of us listen to him anymore. And…its all because of you. Because you stuck up to him that one day…"

" Every one ha? Well, that's a lot of people. But it wasn't all me, Tohru also…" he said, once again looking at her.

Yuki smiled, " I will leave you for a while…" he said leaving the room.

Kyo leaned against the wall, staring at Tohru. He stretched an arm out, and rubbed the cut that was over her face.

" I'm sorry…"

He removed his hand as he fell back to sleep.

The very next day, Kyo was able to stand. His side was still very sore, and hurt no matter what he did, but it was a lot better then the day he had gotten it. Tohru was still sleeping. Hatori would come over every few hours to change her bandages and clean the wound. But he would leave right after that, not saying a word.

" So Kyo, when are you going to tell her?" Shigure asked.

" Tell her what?"

" That you love her. You cant hold it in forever you know…"

" Yeah, I know… I was going to tell her the night I went to Akito's. That's why I had gotten so pissed when he wanted me over. I would have just been better not going. I mean, look what happened."

He sighed as he watched Tohru sleeping.

" Don't worry Kyo-kun, she'll be up soon enough. And then you can tell her!"

" You buffoon! I'm not going to tell her. Do you now how much pain I have caused her? I don't want to tell her, and her not being able to feel the same way…"

" Why is it so hard for you to see that she loves you back Kyo?" Shigure asked, before he left the room for Kyo to think about his question.

Loves me…back…? It couldn't be. Although, that one night I almost kissed her, she didn't pull back. And then she was so worried about me when I wouldn't talk. She changed because of me, because I wouldn't talk to her. Then, she came to save me from Akito…but still I don't feel like she loves me…

Kyo looked at Tohru, who was now waking up.

" Tohru," he said, leaping down next to her. " Are you okay?"

Tohru looked over at Kyo. Her face lit up when she saw him. She smiled happily, went to go hug him, but stopped when remembering he would turn into a cat.

" Its okay, I know what you wanted to do…" Kyo said, now him hugging her instead. Only, he hadn't turned into a cat.

He pulled back from Tohru, looking at himself then at Tohru. She was still smiling.

" its broken Kyo-Kun…every one…they disobeyed Akito. No one will obey him anymore. No one will listen to him. He was god, and if no one listens to god, then he has no power over them. And they are free to do what ever they would like. To live a normal life again….just like every one else."

Kyo couldn't believe it. It had mad sense. Every thing that she had just said made perfect sense to him. He smiled happily before pulling Tohru into another hug.

" Thank you Tohru, thank you so much…."

Tohru smiled as she hugged him back. Pain from her side shooting through her body. Making her pull back, and her hand immediately grabbing her side.

" don't do that, your going to make it worse…" He said, removing her hand from her side.

Blood was left on her hand and shirt.

" I think you need to be stitched up and not just bandaged…" he said, then calling for Yuki.

" What?" Yuki walked into the room, nice and calm.

" I think Tohru need's to be stitched up and not just bandaged. She's bleeding really bad."

Yuki looked over to Tohru, who seemed to be crying. Only her tears wouldn't show. He smiled, happy that she was now awake and left the room to call Hatori.

" Kyo, are you okay?"

" Yeah, I'm fine…"

" What about Yuki? He seemed sad about something. Is he to, okay?" She asked, her voice worried.

" ha…yeah he's fine. Now don't worry about anyone else, okay? You really just need to worry about yourself right now.

" Tohru, when you get better, were going to go and do that thing I planned the other night. No one will stop us this time. How does that sound?" Kyo asked, only to break the awkward silence that had fallen over the room.

She smiled slightly, " That would be wonderful…" she said. Then her eyes widened.

" Momiji! What about Momiji. I heard his voice when we were there, is he okay to? Did Momiji get hurt also?"

Kyo looked away, not wanting to answer the question that she had just asked. How was he supposed to answer it anyways…?

OK, i kno i broke the curse in this story, but i honestly dont know if that is how the real curse is broken. I just made it up cause it sounded good...but anyways, what did you guys think?
