Warning: A bit of a lemony issue comes up in this chapter!

Part Two:

Sakura meanwhile was pounding on a piece of wall that was shifting.

"Did you get it yet?" Katsuya replied.

"Almost. Got it!" she said as the brick gave way and her brother helped her pull it out.

"Good" he nodded as they peered inside, "It's awful dark in there."

"Good thing I brought this" she pulled out a small pink flashlight from her pocket.

"Your flashlight?"

"Thought I might need it" she grinned, "I'll go first" she crawled in.

"All right" he said, "Be careful."

"Don't worry" she called back, "Come on Kaye!" her voice echoed and then he crawled inside right behind her.

They crawled as low as they could for the tunnel had a pretty low ceiling.

"So what are supposed to do once we get out of here?" Kaye asked as they crawled.

"We're supposed to meet Mr. Riku" Sakura answered.

"Well what if we run into trouble?"

"That's when we pull out our martial arts moves. I can really kick and hit this time."

"But we're kids Sakura. They are gonna be bigger and stronger than us."

"You know what daddy says. Go for their legs. And if not that you go for the spot that hurts the most."

"Uh. Not that spot Sakura" Kaye winced, "Anything but that."

"Hey if it works, I'll try it."

"That's easy for you to say, you're a girl. I on the other hand know how that would feel."

"It's not that big of a deal" she said matter offactly.

"Yea right. How could you understand that? You will never know what it feels like to be hit in that spot."

She giggled and then shouted.

"I think we're almost out!"

"Good" he grinned, "I'm tired of crawling."

"It's right here," Sakura said stopping at a grate, "Help me push it open" she whispered.

"Right" he whispered back.

They each pushed and then climbed out of the hole cautiously.

"Where are we now?" Kaye asked as they stood up and stared at the grey hallway.

"We're not too far to where Mr. Riku said he would meet us" Sakura replied looking at the directions, "Come on Kaye. Let's go!" she said running forward.

"Um" he stood still and looked around him.

"What's the matter?" she stopped and looked back at him.

"Mama" he said slowly, "I don't feel right about leaving her behind."

"Come on Kaye. We promised. She'll be okay. Daddy will get to her in time."

"But" he hesitated.

"Come on" she replied for the third time taking his hand and pulling him in her direction.

(Next Scene)

Tai stared at Tohru, as she stood still unable to speak. He crossed his arms.

"Well are you going to answer my question? Are you going to comply or aren't you? Do you really want your precious babies tosuffer because you won't?"

"You wouldn't really hurt them" she said finally, "You wouldn't. You'd never do that."

"Tohru. If I am capable of lying, deceitfulness, and stealing, what makes you think that I am not so equipped to have someone killed?"

"What?"

"I would never do it myself of course. I would have someone do the dirty work for me. Someone professional. After all I had someone do something every time for this plan. For the Sohma's it was Jinto. For you it was Ichirou and of course" he smirked on this line, "For your darling children it was Riku" he grinned.

"What? No I won't believe it!" she cried out.

"It's completely true. He is the one who brought them here and when he comes in here you will see for yourself. But enough of that" he moved even closer, "Are you going to do as I ask or will your children suffer at someone's hand because of your lack of cooperation."

"It seems I have no choice" Tohru murmured sadly, "What do you want me to do?"

"Completely and utterly give yourself over to me."

Tohru gasped and took a step back.

"How can I do that? I am married. I have children."

"That can all be changed in an instant. You have heard of divorces haven't you?"

"Divorces?"

"Of course. You are going tounbound yourself from that wretched monster."

"I'll do no such thing" she retorted.

"You have no choice in the matter Tohru" he shook his head angrily, "Just like my ancestor Hayoto Ushida I will not give up. Did you know that when he found out that the Princess Takara was going to marry the Lord of the Sohma clan in the west he did everything he could to try and stop the wedding. And when that didn't succeed, even after they were married and the curse was in existence, he had her kidnapped in the same manner that I had you kidnapped. In fact Ichirou is a descendant of the man Ikumu Nakagami who served Hayoto Ushida faithfully as his Captain of the guard and dear friend. I'm not sure what kind of tortures she went through in that place but her husband found her and that is where he did it. That is where he killed my illustrious ancestor with that cursed form of his. I have no worries about that anymore. You're husband is no longer cursed and can no longer threaten me with it. So what's to stop with me" he chuckled, "So do you agree? Will you comply?"

"I said I had no choice didn't I?" Tohru replied slowly.

"True you don't" he nodded, "But I'm afraid I need proof of your willingness."

"Proof?" she looked up at him confused.

He moved in forward and wrapped his arms around her, leaning down and pressing his lips against hers. Tohru's eyes became wide as he moved down to her cheek and then her neck. Finally she pushed him away slightly.

"Stop it Tai" she said softly the tears forming again.

"Tohru" he warned, "I have waited for this a long time. And you're not about to stop me now. Behave yourself or your little angels will be seriously hurt."

Tohru closed her eyes as he continued his assault on her. But suddenly someone knocked on the door just as he had unbuttoned the top two buttons on her blouse, so he pulled away irritably.

"What is it?"

Riku stuck his head in and Tai immediately smiled as Tohru stared back in horror.

"Ah Riku" he replied as he pushed Tohru on the couch that was nearby, "Come on in."

Riku came in and stared in shock at the state of his cousin. Her hair was a bit disheveled and from what he could tell he had just interrupted something he didn't want to see.

"I trust everything went well," Tai asked crossing his arms.

"Yes" Riku replied averting his eyes and stating squeamishly, "They're here and secure."

"Good job Riku. What did I tell you Tohru?"

The tears remained on her face as Riku tried not to lose it and clamped his eyes shut, his fist shaking a little.

"What's wrong Riku?" Tai asked noticing his expression.

"Nothing" Riku shook his head and Tohru saw how morose he seemed, "I just wanted to give you an update."

"You look kind of pale."

"I'm all right" Riku shook it off, "I'm sorry I disturbed you. I'll go now" he departed quickly.

Tai shrugged his shoulders but then turned back to Tohru who was still unable to speak. Then he took her hand and pulled her once more toward him.

"Now where was I?" he said moving down to kiss her neck once more.

As Riku walked away from the door he felt the tears of hatred in his own eyes. He walked toward the place where he was determined to meet the twins and put an end to this once and for a while.

(Next Scene)

At that same moment Kaye and Sakura had taken out a number of guards with their martial arts. There were still many come after them, but soon they had taken out every single one, however they were certain it wouldn't be too long till they got up again.

"Come on Kaye" Sakura said, "Mr. Riku is just a little further ahead."

"I can't Sakura" Kaye shook his head determinedly, "I can't go."

"What do you mean?"

"I have to go back. I have to go back for mama."

"But Kaye."

"Look I promised daddy before we left Kyoto that I would look after you and mama," he said closing his eyes, "I'm going back!" he shouted running back in the opposite direction.

"Kaye!" she yelled back, "Wait!" she chased after him.

Several of the men arose and then ran after them. But Katsuya was very determined and continued to run until he finally reached the stairs. He dashed up them and ran to the doors. He opened the doors and pushed them open quickly.

"Mama!" he shouted as Sakura joined him.

Tai looked back as Tohru saw the two of them and gasped out.

"Katsuya!" she called back, "Sakura!"

"Where are you, you incompetent fools?" Tai shouted out, "You let them escape!"

Four of the men dashed up the stairs and two of them each took the twins by their arms.

"No Tai stop!" Tohru cried out.

"Let me go!" Kaye kicked at one.

"Let go of me!" Sakura said at the same time struggling in their hands.

"I can see you two are just like your father" Tai sneered as he held onto Tohru tightly.

"Let my mama go!" Kaye demanded, "Right now!"

"I don't think so. And you two are not going to interrupt. In fact" he suddenly grinned menacingly at the two of them, "If you really insist on staying then you can" he moved behind Tohru and wrapped his arms around her neck, "You can watch it all."

Tohru's eyes became scared and wide as her children watched at what the man was going to do next. The next moment he moved his hand down Tohru's blouse. Kaye saw the scared face on his mother and his sister cried out.

"Stop it!"

But Katsuya didn't shout. Instead a weird aura began to envelope him. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his eyes became furiously angry. Sakura watched as her brother shook and her eyes became wide.

"Oh no" she whispered, "Daddy, where are you" she closed her eyes the tears dripping from them.

(Next Scene)

Sakura's fears were unfounded for at that moment Kyo, Yuki, and Hatsuharu were fighting their way through several guards. It had taken only a few moments to figure out how to get into the place and then they had been attacked immediately. Finally Yuki spotted Riku and headed for him.

"Riku!" he called, "Where are the twins?"

"I don't know" Riku said as he rushed across the room to try and join them, "They were supposed to meet me here. But I think they went back for Tohru."

"Where is she?" Kyo shouted back.

"She's" Riku started to say but then yelled out in pain for he had been struck on the back.

Standing behind him was Ichirou Nakagami with a furious look in his eyes.

"You traitor" he seethed, "I knew we couldn't trust you."

"Who's that?" Kyo demanded.

"Tai's informant" Yuki replied, "Ichirou Nakagami."

"Where's my wife?" Kyo called to Ichirou, "Tell me where she is?"

Ichirou smiled at him and shook his head. But before he could say anything Riku had struck him by his legs and he toppled over. Hatsuharu rushed over to help Riku by holding Ichirou down. Riku staggered to his feet and held onto his side. Kyo and Yuki also came over and stood by him.

"You guys go ahead" Haru replied, "I'll take care of him."

"Do you know where they are Riku?" Yuki asked looking at him.

"Yea" Riku nodded, "Follow me" and he began to run with Yuki and Kyo close behind him.

(Next Scene)

"Kaye?" Sakura said as he shook, "What are you doing?"

Tai stopped his seduction of Tohru as Katsuya shook even more with fury. It seemed like his whole body was glowing. The guards loosened their grip on him and he reached up to pull the necklace from around his neck, throwing it to the ground.

"Kaye!" Sakura shouted as he moved forward his head bent but still shaking angrily, "Don't!"

But he didn't listen. Instead his body began to change and anawful smell began to fill the room. The four guards backed off holding their noses.

"What is that awful smell?" one of them said, as Tai stared wide-eyed at the boy in astonishment.

In one quick moment Katsuya shrank to his knees and his eyes began to glow a different color, changing in shape as he narrowed them on his target. His body took on the form of a monster and the men and their boss became even more terrified at the sight of him. Tai pushed Tohru out of the way as Katsuya stood up to his full height and growled ferociously at him. He took a step back as Kaye leapt for him. He tried to use all his martial arts but to no avail. Katsuya continued to strike at him, hitting him in the shoulder with his claws. Sakura ran forward and shouted at her brother to stop while her mother sat on the floor, tears in her eyes and completely confused. As Tai held onto his shoulder, Kaye struck at his left leg making it bleed profusely and him fall to the floor. As Kaye jumped at him Tai grabbed a nearby fold up chair to block him. Kaye tried to reach around the chair with his claws aiming for Tai's face.

Just then Kyo and Yuki came into the room with Riku behind them. When they smelt the room they saw in the corner that Kaye was on top of Tai who was completely terrified and begging for his life. Kyo stared wide-eyed and then shouted.

"Sakura! Stop! Don't kill him!"

"Daddy" Sakura said running over to him, "That's not me. That's Katsuya."

"What?" Kyo looked back at Katsuya who was relentless in his revenge on Tai Ushida.

As Riku stared in horror at the monster and held his nose, Sakura ran forward and called to Katsuya once more.

"Kaye stop!" she cried, "Please stop! You're gonna kill him!"

Katsuya didn't listen. He was almost done. Tai was losing his strength and losing his grip on the chair. Sakura moved forward even more and took his arm.

"Kaye. I beg of you please don't do this! Mama's okay! She's fine okay! She's with daddy now! Kaye stop! Please! Please stop!"

Katsuya continued to growl as he paused, his clawing ceasing.

"Mama's okay. Everything is fine now. You did good. Just please no more. I beg of you. Just stop" she cried lowering her head, her tears dripping on her brother's arm.

His growling became lower and lower and soon Sakura could feel his skin beneath her grasp and his normal breathing as he changed back. He looked back at his sister, his shirt torn and took her hand.

"It's okay Sakura" he patted her hand gently, "I'm all right. Thank you" he stood up wearily but then sank to the floor because he had lost his strength.

Kyo came forward and picked up his son handing him to Yuki, who in turn took him back to Tohru who took both her children in her outstretched arms. She cried over them both as Kyo looked down at Tai furiously.

"I guess my son did what I could never do" Kyo said angrily, "Let this be a lesson to you. I may longer carry the curse but my son does. Actually he did more damage then I had intended. You'll never be able to walk normally on that leg again. That's for sure. And you'll always remember this day. You'll never forget it. But I do have something to add to my son's gift to you" Kyo grabbed the collar of his shirt and lifted him up slightly.

Then without a moment's hesitation he hit Tai harder than he'd ever hit anyone. Tai immediately became unconscious. Kyo let go of his shirt and stood back up.

"You'll never forget this day" Kyo seethed to the unconscious man, "I guarantee you won't. If you ever think about hurting my family again just remember you're the one who brought the Zodiac curse back. You have no one to blame but yourself. If you die at the hands of the cat of the Zodiac it's your own damn fault."

"Okay Kyo" Yuki said, "Let's get out of here."

"Yea" Kyo nodded walking over to Tohru and holding her as she held onto a sleeping Katsuya and Sakura stood next to him, "After all we have some unfinished business to attend to" he frowned and they all walked out of the room, leaving Tai Ushida to yet another defeat, although a defeat that he would surely never be able to forget.

(Till Next Time)

Authors Note: Finally got it done! One more to go! See you all later!

Next Chapter: A Father and Son Moment

Kyo and the rest of the Sohma family dispose of the last person in Tai's plot, thereby freeing Kagura and giving her another chance to start over. Meanwhile Katsuya is feeling guilty about what he did and it may take a talk from his own father for him to understand how to deal with it.
