Sometimes I wonder why so many people hate Yuki…then I think, "That's alright! More for me!"


Don't Walk Home

Chapter 3 – The Cat's Wrath

Yuki glanced at his watch. Twelve-thirty. Worry pulled at his insides. 'They should have been back by now. Stupid cat. He probably got lost.' He stood up from his homework at the table. "I guess I'll have to go find th-"

The door snapped open with a bang. Yuki stepped back as Kyo stepped over the threshold, pulling Tohru behind him. Yuki's eye's widened when he caught sight of Tohru. Her hair was messy and filled with sticks and leaves. Her eyes were red and one cheek had a bruise on it. Her clothes- 'Is that Kyo's hoodie!' -were as dirty as the rest of her. She seemed to be in a slight daze. "Miss.."

Kyo shot him a 'don't ask' look before pulling Tohru up the stairs to her room. Yuki frowned but stayed where he was. 'What happened to Miss Honda?'

He heard the sound of voices, and then a door sliding shut. A second later, footsteps stomped back down the stairs. As the door slid open, the rat opened his mouth to ask what had happened.

BAM!

Pain exploded in Yuki's stomach as he fell backward into the table. He heard it give a loud crack before giving under him. When he got his breath back, he sat up on his elbows and shot the cat an angry glare. "What the hell was…" The words died in Yuki's throat when he connected with Kyo's gaze.

To say Kyo was angry would have been a massive understatement. A savage light glowed in the cat's eyes, and for a moment, it really seemed like they were on fire. A burning rage emitted from his every pore, and for once in his life, Yuki felt wary, almost afraid, of Kyo.

He opened his mouth and Yuki thought he was going to yell. Instead his voice came out in a deadly hiss. "If you are EVER late to pick up Tohru again, I swear, you'll get more than a kick in the stomach."

Yuki pulled his eyebrows together. "I am never late to pick up Miss Honda. It was you who picked her up ton-"

"You should have told me sooner!" He said, his voice rising.

"It's not my fault you didn't leave until-"

"Do you know what almost happened?" Kyo hissed, dropping his voice again as though he would be overheard.

"No, I wasn't there to-"

"Drunken men," The cat ground out, cutting Yuki off again, "attacked Tohru in the woods on her way home."

Yuki's mouth fell open in horror as the implications of Kyo's words dawned on him. "She wasn't….They didn't…"

"I got there in time." Kyo murmured, calming down a little. Yuki sighed in relief. "Just tell me earlier if you can't pick her up." The rat nodded.

Shigure choose that moment to walk into the room. He looked from Yuki, who was still lying on the decimated table, to Kyo, who was standing over him in a fighting stance. Large tears pooled in the dog's eyes. "Why must everyone try to destroy my house?"


Ha ha. That Shigure… I feel he can never say or do anything un-funny.

I'll try to get another chapter up today since this one's so short. But like I said, It was actually chapter 2, But I was too lazy to type the whole thing.

Till next time,

REVIEW!
