Last Chapter

"Are you alright," the man asked," you're not hurt are you?"

" No, but thank you very much for saving me," replied the girl.

" Yeah well don't get used to it, I only did it because I saw you cover my friend with leaves so the officers wouldn't see her, I thank you for that," said the man.

"Um your welcome…. may I ask your name?"

"May I ask yours?" was the curt reply.

" My name is Tohru Honda, and thank you again for saving me," the girl, Tohru Honda said.

" Kyo Sohma," said the man as he pulled down his hood revealing orange hair and fiery eyes.

"Kyo Sohma, it's very nice to meet you."

§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

" Yeah it's nice to meet you too," Kyo said unenthusiastically.

"But how did you know I was here? No one should be outside at this time; it was a miracle that I escaped undetected, well besides the two that you, uh… knocked out. So how did you and that girl escape? The little girl, oh god I have to see if she's ok. What if the officers did something to her, oh no that would be terrible!" cried Tohru, running around the snow.

" Don't worry she's safe, to answer your question we're not from your kingdom, and yes I did just knock out the officers, though I should have done more than that," Kyo growled while his fists made contact.

" Sissy!" a honey shoulder-length-haired and chocolate caramel-eyed girl screamed as she ran toward Tohru.

"Kisa what do you think you are doing! I told you to stay inside the hole and not to move until after I came and got you!" quarreled Kyo.

"Kisa, so that's you're name, were you the little girl inside the hole? I am sorry about putting leaves on top of you with out telling you," Tohru bowed down in apology.

"Sissy why are you apologizing I should be thanking you, you saved me! " an excited Kisa yelled. " You don't mind if I call you sissy, right?" Kisa asked much quieter this time.

Tohru blushed, "No, not at all."

" Ok well we got to get moving, more officers may come when they find out two of there men are not present. Come on Tohru, you're coming with us," Kyo declared.

"Huh? Really you'll take me with you?" The girl's sapphire eyes sparkled.

" Of course sissy it's the least we can do you." Kisa chuckled.

"Really thanks, I'm so happy!"

Both girls laughed.

"This is going to be a long trip," Kyo pointed out.

"Oh by the way sorry about looking at you with mean eyes while in the hole, I thought you were a bad person," Kisa apologized.

"Don't worry about it I would have done the same thing, besides to me you resembled a very cute tiger," Tohru giggled.

Yet, when she said the word tiger both Kyo and Kisa froze and panic was written over both his and her faces.

" Hey, you guys why did you stop walking, was it something I said? " asked a worried Tohru.

"Oh it's nothing sissy we just thought we heard something, right Kyo?" Kisa said as she recovered from shock.

"Yeah, lets just keep moving," stated Kyo as he too recovered.

" Really? I didn't hear anything, anyways where exactly are we going," the girl asked.

" We are going to the Sohma main house, our home, it's a days walk from here, so we should arrive there tomorrow night. " Kyo answered.

"Still…maybe we should first rest and start the trip tomorrow. We'll arrive home in the morning two days from today, but at least this way we wont feel exhausted," requested Kisa.

"I guess that makes sense, pretty good thinking for a twelve-year- old kid Kisa. As for the night we can spend it at Jones' Inn," reluctantly agreed Kyo

"Who's Jones?" Kisa and Tohru said in a unison.

" Just a friend who still owes me a favor, He runs an inn so he'll spare us a room or two for the night," Kyo confirmed.

" I've no objection, but what were you doing so far away from your house?"

" That isn't any of your business!" Kyo snapped, but suddenly regretted it as he saw water in Torhu's eyes.

"Look, I'm sor-," Kyo began but was cut off by Tohru.

"There is no need to apologize for something you did not do. I should be the one apologizing, for I shouldn't be prying in anyone else's business" Tohru said with void in her voice as she walked away.

Kyo's face looked hurt for some reason that even he couldn't acknowledge.

" Women," he muttered giving an exahsperated sigh.

A couple of seconds later Kyo saw Kisa and Tohru chatting happily as if nothing had happened.

Oh yes this is going to be a long two days.

This chapter didn't turn out very good, even after the various times I re-wrote, it just wouldn't make sense.
