Your Anklebone Connects to the…

"Perhaps you need to be reminded exactly who is the head of this family, you ungrateful little hussy." Akito smiled darkly at her. He grabbed her wrist as she turned away. "Leaving so soon?" He asked with that taunting smile. "Now that would be rude." His grip on her wrist tightened and she winced.

"Ahh! Momiji! YOU IDIOT!" Kyo was making his way down the path when Momiji sprinted out of the woods, knocking Kyo over. "Ha-Hatori, we need Hatori now!" The bunny had several cuts and bruises on his tear stained cheeks. His anger flowed out of his body quickly and fear clouded his eyes.

"Oh God, what happened? Is Tohru ok? ANSWER ME DAMMIT!" Kyo didn't even try and hide the panic in his voice. Momiji didn't give him a straight answer, but his sobbing became louder.

"Momiji, you run and get Hatori and bring him here. Tell him what happened, while I try and find her." Momiji nodded wildly and continued to sprint towards the resort.

'If that damn rat laid one fucking hand on her, I swear I'll break his neck!' He jogged down the path Momiji had come off of. As soon as he saw the little drops of blood on the dead leaves, he broke into a run. 'I can see a clearing. She has to be there! I am almost there…' His thoughts were interrupted as he tripped over a root protruding out of the ground. He flew four feet before landing right on his back, knocking the breath out of him. When his vision cleared, he vaulted off the ground. Something caught his eye as he turned to run towards the clearing again. Yuki was sprawled out next to a rock the size of a fist. He was unconscious and blood was trickling down his forehead. 'Shit! If Yuki's hurt then…where's Tohru?'

Panic fluttered around his already racing heart. He heard a whimper from behind a cluster of bushes, a few yards away. Tohru was lying in a heap, clutching her ankle. She had dirt smeared on her cheek and bruises all up and down her arms and legs. Her eyes were shut tightly.

"Tohru! What the hell happened!" She screamed when she heard his voice but then cried tears of relief when she realized it was only him.

"Kyo! It…It was Akito." She stammered out the name like she expected him to pop out of thin air whenever his name was mentioned. "You need to get out of here, he'll get you too! He could still be around here!"

"That bastard wouldn't dare to come near me right now." 'I would show him what a REAL monster might do.' He added silently.

Tohru stared up at the orange haired teen. He had viciousness in his voice she had never heard before. Rage burned red in his eyes, like fire. 'He makes me feel safe.' And despite her pain, she gave him a brilliant smile.

Seeing her smile when she was in so much pain pushed Kyo over the edge. All of his fear, shame, and guilt left him in torrents of salty, bitter tears. His body shook with every breath he took. He had never cried like this in front of someone. But he never felt embarrassed as long as it was her.

No words were needed to explain the sudden breakdown, but Kyo said them anyways, as soon as his crying stopped. "I have just been so worried about you. Not just today…everyday. I don't ever want to see you get hurt. It kills me just to see you cry! I just want to know what the hell is wrong with me!"

She let him cry on her shoulder, rubbing his back in comfort. He jumped up all of a sudden, wiping away his tears. "Hatori is on his way. I'll meet him at the road, will you be alright?" She nodded, but she was a little shocked to see how quickly he put on a mask that hid his hurt. 'How long have you been hiding under that mask Kyo? I worry about you too…'

"HATORI! Get in here now!" Momiji's terrified voice rang through the house. Hatori came in from the kitchen a worried look on his face. 'What could upset that bunny this much?'

Within minutes Hatori, Shigure, and Momiji were walking brusquely down the dirt path. 'Why didn't I bring the damn car!' Hatori was shaking he was so nervous. Momiji almost hyperventilated when Hatori asked what was wrong. So they had no idea what they were going to find. 'What will this family do if something happened to her? She is too important…to all of us.'

Kyo, as promised, met them at the road. He only let a little of his anxiousness show, although there was a hell of a lot more in his head.

Hatori examined Yuki before making his way over to the scared onigiri. Yuki would be an easy person to carry back to the resort, but Tohru was different. If they didn't hold her very carefully one of them might transform and end up hurting her ankle more. Her ankle was crushed to the side, resting on the ground at a weird angle. Hatori didn't need to be a doctor to tell you that it was broken. Shigure let out a little whine when he saw the mangled mess.

"Well we should get Tohru first. It will be the hardest and Yuki still isn't awake yet."

"Yuki? Oh my God! Is he alright!" Tohru clearly hadn't seen the passed out rat yet.

"He will be ok, but we probably don't need to move him until he is awake, just in case there is some more damage." Shigure nodded solemnly in agreement with Hatori's words.

"But I think we should really be asking if our little flower is ok!" He tried to lighten the mood a little.

"Well, I can't really feel my ankle right now. It's numb, but I'll be fine." She said truthfully.

But when Hatori tried to help her off of the ground, she gave a moan before collapsing. Pain had shot up through her ankle, into her knee, causing her to faint.

Tohru awoke to a cold cloth being pressed against her forehead. As her eyes fluttered open, she saw Kagura hovering over her.

"You're awake! Good…Hatori told me to give you these." She handed her two white pills. "They're pain killers."

"Really, my ankle isn't even hurting right now. I'll be fine." Kagura winced when Tohru started to make excuses. She knew why Tohru needed the pills. Although she may not be in pain now, Hatori needed to pop her ankle bone back in place before he could put a cast on it.

"Just take them, doctor's orders." She gave a laugh that was almost a little to cheery.

Hatori was in the corner soaking something in a bucket. Kagura was watching him make he preparations with anticipation. Rin came running in through the door.

"Oh my God Tohru! Are you ok?" 'Rin and Kagura are almost like my older sisters. I'm glad we're all friends even though we all started off shaky.'

" I'm fine," she mumbled for the millionth time that day. She was getting pretty tired of saying it. "Are you feeling any better? You look a lot more healthy." Tohru commented, noticing that the girl's cheeks had a healthy glow to them.

"I hate to break up the chit chat, but we need to fix that ankle of yours. Tohru, this is going to be very painful, and I hope you do not hate me for it." Hatori had made his way over to the bed with the bucket.

"It couldn't hurt any worse than breaking it in the first place could it?" She said with a hint of a smile. 'That is just like her. She is so strong.' He thought with an inward smile.

"Tohru? Rin and Kagura are here to help brace you. I am going to soak your ankle in this cold water for a minute." She nodded and sucked in her breath sharply when she felt the icy water numb her swollen ankle. After five minutes of soaking, her removed her foot, which was a little blue. He told her to brace herself and Kagura and Rin held her shoulder down against the bed.

A loud scream pierced through the house. Kyo dropped the carton of milk he was holding and Yuki's eyes shot open. 'Was that Tohru? Ah! What am I doing in bed! What happened with Akito?…Akito! That BASTARD!' He jumped out of bed and felt his head. A large lump had formed on his head and he winced as a strong migraine started to come on. 'I can't think about that right now…where is she!'

The neko was coming up the stairs just as Yuki shot out of his room. The collided and Kyo opened his mouth to say something rude but ran into another room instead. Yuki followed and his stomach lurched forward at the sight on the bed.

Tohru had tears streaming down her face and Kagura and Rin were holding her down while crying tears of their own. If at all possible, Hatori looked close to tears as well. Tohru continued to let out smaller screams as the pain died down.

After ten minutes of everyone panting as if they had just run a marathon Tohru said with a small laugh, "Wow…that kinda hurt." Tension lifted, as everyone laughed hard at the joke.

Ok…do you think I am dragging this story out to much? I kinda like it…but then again, it is getting long. I'll try and finish it up in the next two or three chaps! Don't think that there isn't a plot left…I can give you three things off the top of my head.

Exactly what happened in the woods?

Why are Kagura and Rin there? (yes I will be answering that in the next chap!)

Will Kyo ever give Tohru his present?

So as you see, there is still more to be told and I guess the story isn't TOO long so far. So leave me reviews…criticism is accepted I guess…if you must. Lol. Anywho, I got algebra that's waiting for me!
