Chapter 14- Fear alone

Tohru's heart pounded as fast as she could possibly think. Which for her, was pretty fast. She stared in horror as Akito walked even closer to her now. Oh how she was wishing that she had never told Kyo to leave. It was now one of those things you do, but regret doing them later. And this was one of them.

Akito sat next to her, looking at her with eyes that seemed like they had come from the devil. It was hard to believe that Akito was the god of the house, when anyone could have sworn she was the devil. Either way, Tohru didn't like her, and she wasn't going to show her fear. She looked away as Akito looked at her even more harder. As if she was trying to get threw her mind and figure out what she was thinking.

Tohru had stood to leave, but stopped dead in her tracks when Akito stood up. Still, Tohru did not look at her.

"What do you fear?" Akito asked, making Tohru look at her. Dead in the eyes.

Tohru gulped knowing what she feared, but she didn't want to tell Akito that.

"Death…" she said lying.

Akito, being able to sense this grinned. "You lied…" She said.

Even thought she had said it so calmly, it sounded to Tohru as if she were to kill her. She had cringed at the sound of Akito's voice, and tried to push by her. Akito only grabbed Tohru between her shoulders and elbows. She made a firm grip on her arms then tightened it, sending her nails a little into Tohru's flesh. Tohru had immediately pulled back, causing Akito's nails to leave pretty deep scratches on her arms. Akito didn't take any time to step forward.

"Why was it you?" Akito asked, seeming angry. "That they all became so fond of? Why was it you?" She asked again as she brought her hand up to Tohru and only seconds later smacked her in the face. Tohru stumbled down to her knees at the sudden impact. She looked up at Akito, one of her hands placed over her cheek.

"I don't like you…" Akito started. "and that is why I came hear…"

"You came hear…for me? And not…Kyo? But why!" she asked, sounding upset now.

"Kyo! Ha that monster, he still has time left. But you are the last thing I need to get in the way of that! Ever since you came to this house, into this family, you have been nothing but trouble. And I cant stand that anymore! And I have also noticed that you have gotten so much closer to Kyo. Do you know what happens when a Sohma falls in love? Its not very pretty…"

Tohru looked at Akito horrified. Yet, what she had just said hadn't taken much affect on her. She knew all about this, everything except why Akito had come for her. She still didn't know why. She thought that her mind would have been able to find it already, but the only thing it was now thinking of was to run. Get away from Akito, and nothing else.

She had gone to stand, but was only kicked down seconds later by Akito. Her hand removed itself from her face and went down to her stomach where she was kicked. She once again looked up at Akito's grinning face. Akito only let out a small laugh before kicking Tohru again in the same spot, making her cough up blood.

"it would be a pity to kill you know…even though that's not what I have planed. But it would be nice…" Akito said quickly before she had finally left Tohru.

Tohru wiped her mouth as she forced herself to stand. She looked around as if someone had been watching, but no one was outside except her now. Her body was shaking. Not from the pain that had been soaring threw her body, but the fear she had felt from now being alone. Slowly, tears formed in her eyes then slipped down her cheeks. She went down the ladder, but didn't go inside. Instead she went to the woods and sat down under a tree. She hadn't gone to far in, only right at the beginning. So she was still able to see the house.

Still her body shook. She just couldn't believe what had happened. And now that she thought about it even more, the pain in her side would feel like it was getting worst.

Kyo sat up from his bed. He hadn't heard Tohru coming up the stairs yet, and he was beginning to worry. He knew she wanted to be alone, but he also knew that he wanted to so badly see her right now. She hadn't been acting like herself lately and it was starting to annoy him. He sighed deeply before standing to his feet. He hadn't moved anywhere, only looked around his room as if someone was watching him. When seeing no one he left the room and went to Tohru's.

Maybe she did come back in and I just didn't hear because of all my thoughts…Kyo thought has he made his way to her room. When he looked inside he didn't see her. This had made him even more nervous then before.

All he wanted to do now was to find her. He had decided to go back outside and look on the roof even though she had told him she wanted to be alone. When he had gotten outside and up on the roof, his heart jumped into his throat then back down to his chest and pounded so fast his mind couldn't keep up with it. He looked down around the house and still couldn't find her. The only place he hadn't thought to look was by the woods. Exactly where she had been to.

She couldn't believe it. She was able to see Kyo looking for her, and yet she didn't want to get out. Call his name. Or even try to stand. She had no desire what so ever to go back to the house. All she wanted now was someone who could comfort her. And not Kyo, no, someone who could actually hold her with out transforming into something.

She brought her knees up to her chest, wrapped her arms around her legs, and rested her head on top of her knees. She closed her eyes, letting herself drift into a unpleasant sleep.

Kyo had turned around, and there he saw Tohru sleeping. Her back against the tree and her knees pulled up to her chest. He smiled softly knowing she was okay, and hadn't just magically disappeared. Quietly he walked over to her and sat down. He looked closely at her and saw she had been crying.

"Tohru…" he said gently as he shook her arm a bit. She hadn't moved, only her arm that Kyo had shaken fell to her side. Revealing the cut marks Akito had left. Kyo looked at them, knowing they were from today. There was still some blood oozing out of it. Kyo looked at her and couldn't help but think what had happened to her. The first thing that had popped up into his mind was Akito. But he hadn't heard anyone leave the house or enter it after he had left Tohru on the roof.

Then he thought maybe she did it herself, but he knew she wouldn't have. He only sighed as he laid down next to her and let his eyes close. He soon to drifted off into a deep but unpleasant sleep…
