Redmoonfae: -sniffles- Yes, this is the last chapter of this story.

Tohru: -weeps- It was so wonderful being here with you, Fae!

Yuki: Well, I guess it was ok...

Redmoonfae/Tohru/Yuki: ENJOY!

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Tohru stood at the water's edge barefoot. She let the cool relaxing waves sooth her abused feet. She smiled to herself, eyes half closed as she tried to take her mind off everything. She didn't think she'd be able to face Yuki again. Not after she just ran out on him.

Tohru sighed and got out of the water. She dried her feet off on a towel she had packed then put her shoes back on. She decided to go for a little walk in the woods.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Yuki continued to jog through the woods, searching everywhere he could think of. He lived some what close to Shigure's so checked in that direction first. Maybe she had come here be accident and Shigure had let her stay for a while. Even though he prayed she wasn't in the hands of the perverted dog, he still needed to check.

Yuki knocked on the front door. It was several minutes before Shigure answered.

"Aw, Yuki. And what do I owe this little surprise?" Shigure said in his usual drawl.

"Is Tohru here?" Yuki asked between pants.

Now Shigure looked worried. "No, I havn't. What happened?"

"Her 'uncle' took her and then she escaped. I thought she might have come here. You havn't seen her at all?" Yuki was getting more and more distressed.

"No, I havn't seen her since that night we all had dinner and-Yuki, your arm!" Shigure cut himself off as he noticed the blood stained shirt and arm.

Yuki tried to cover it up. "It's just a scratch." Yuki said shortly.

Shigure sighed. "Did you get that scratch from Kazumi?" Shigure tried to stop himself before he said the name.

Yuki looked up at his older cousin in disbeleif. He let himself in and grabbed the dog's kimono scruff. "You knew about this?" he practically screamed.

Shigure sighed, looking away from his younger cousin's face. "I'm sorry Yuki. It was Akito's orders. You know I can't go against him!" Shigure said the last part desperetly

Yuki was trying to hold in all his anger but failed. When the one person he loved had been taken away from him, the dog knew why! All the anger from everything that had happened in the last few days came up and he tossed the older cousin across the room.

He ran back out of the house to a path he used to take often.

The 'secret base' was badly overgrown and everything was dead, but Yuki searched around it for any signs Tohru had been there. By chance he looked at the garden and saw one striveing plant. A strawberry. Yuki picked the ripe fruit and examined it. It was perfect-fire engine red all around.

He gently placed the strawberry in his pocket and continued the search for Tohru.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Tohru walked through the woods, trying to hum a happy tune. But all tunes came out sad and dead. She looked to the ground as she walked, makeing sure she wouldn't trip over any pesky roots or stones.

She heard footsteps behind her and whirled around. Two men stood behind her, both smirking.

"Come 'ere sweetheart." the first man said.

Tohru took a step backwards, fear clearly written on her face.

The two men began to advance on her until they were at a fast walk. Tohru finnaly came to her sences and ran for all she was worth. The blisters and bruises on her feet didn't help. And niether did the huge bruise on her head.

She held her arms out infront of her as she ran so no branches would smack her in the face. She blinded herself from the ground's hidden traps and tripped over a root. She began to get up, found her ankle was throbbing in pain, and fell back down.

Now the two guys were right behind her. One circled her over to her head. The men knealt down and began to examine her body. Tohru fought as much as she could, but both men were too strong.

Tears flew down her face as the men began to touch her in places she would never alow to be touched without her permission. Without even thinking, she screamed one word:

"YUKI!"

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Yuki came to the small lake and found all of Tohru's things. He sighed when he finnaly found where she was. But she wasn't anywhere in sight.

"YUKI!"

Yuki turned towards the sound of his name being screamed. He instantly ran as fast as he could into the woods.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Tohru kicked at the man that was touching near her inner thighs. She finnaly landed a solid kick in the groin, makeing the man double over in pain. But the man at her head was holding down her wrists and she couldn't bend like that to kick him.

The man at her legs finnaly recovered and grabbed her ankles. Tohru let out a yelp of pain as he grabbed her sprained ankle. The man was smirking as he again began to touch her in places she didn't alow. But then his face went white and he fell to the side.

When he fell, Tohru could clearly see, "YUKI!"

Yuki's chest heaved up and down uncontrolably. He didn't even try to hide his rage as he advanced on the next man. The man let go of Tohru's wrists and got into a fighting stance. Yuki moved with lightening speed to hit the man hard with his fist in the temple.

The man went down with a thud and layed there. Yuki turned to Tohru and knealt down next to her.

"Tohru, are you alright?" he asked, his words sewn with worry.

Tohru gave a weak smile as she sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck in a tight embrace. No transformation. Yuki hugged her back tightly as well, being careful as not to hurt her. Tohru broke the embrace and looked into Yuki's eyes with a smile on her face.

Yuki smiled back, then planted a kiss on her lips. Tohru was surprised but returned the gesture. Yuki gently bit on her bottem lip for her to open her mouth. She opened it for him and their tounges began to dance.

He gently picked her up, still in the kiss, and stood. Tohru broke the kiss for breath, and leaned her head on Yuki's shoulder. Very carefully, Yuki took the strawberry out of his pocket. He handed it to Tohru with a smile.

Tohru took the gift and nuzzled her head into the crook on Yuki's neck where it met his shoulder.

"I love you." Yuki whispered into her ear.

"I love you too." Tohru replied, gently kissing his neck.

"I'm home."
