((Silence))

Kyo: You know they're gonna kill you right?
Me: Yea...((looks at blood-thirsty-angry-readers))
Kyo: well get to writing!
Me: Right Right...I-I
Chapter title: Time...
Tohru groaned as she slowly woke up. She remembered voices talking about her...her and...Yuki...having passionate se...That's when she start
turning red. Who was talking about her like that anyway? ((Me: (Looks at Kaze and Kori))).
"Ah! Your awake!" Fuaiyaa's face was directly in front of her, she gasped, falling back into the bed. "oops, sorry!"
"God, Fu, your gonna give someone a heart attack like that!" Kaze appeared from the window. "Hey Tohru, how're you feeling?"
"Um...Good I guess," Tohru started, "Where are we anyway?" Kaze and Fuaiyaa's face looked at each other and turned back to Tohru,
"We're in this Hotel." Kaze waved, from the window, "I think we got one of the most expensivist of all."
"Is that even a word?" Fuaiyaa asked, giving Tohru a cup of tea.
"What? Expensivist? Probably not." Kaze shrugged. Fuaiyaa sweatdropped. Tohru's eyes widened,
"Y-you mean, We're in Paradise Love Hotel!" Tohru hyperventilated, "Oh my...I um...I don't know how I'm going to repay you for your kindness!"
"Whoa Whoa, Tohru! Don't worry about it! We got the least expensive room here!" Fuaiyaa grinned, "Besides, don't worry about it, it was an emergency!"
"Speaking of, Tohru take a shower, we're leaving as soon as we possibly can, or until the guards find out where we are." Kaze said, Tohru finished her tea, then grabbed her bag, quickly walking into the bathroom,
"Kaze, you think she's gonna be able to fight?" Fuaiyaa mumbled, "I mean, she's not still weak is she?"
"We're gonna hope Fu, for Kori's sake," Fuaiyaa wrapped her arms around her waist,
"How long do you have to keep pretending?" Fuaiyaa, mumbled into the back of Kaze's back.
"As long as I possibly can." Fuaiyaa let go of Kaze, letting her change into a pair of black cargo pants, a chain going from her left side of the waist to the Right side, and a long sleeved white button down shirt. putting her hair in a high ponytail, and then grabbing the front of her bangs and placing small rubber bands on them. Fuaiyaa sighed,
"It's amazing how great you resemble a guy," Fuaiyaa muttered,
"That's because I-" Kaze was interrupted when Tohru stepped out of the shower room, wearing a black tight shirt, with a black and white plaided skirt.
"Why are we here?" Tohru said, gaining confidence, "Where's Kori?"
"For now, Kori's looking after the boys, They've been captured by Akito till who know's when..." Fuaiyaa said, Tohru's eyes widened.
"W-what?" Tohru said,
"Yes, They were captured by Akito's guards, right after we dissappeared, Yuki and Kyo had no idea what was going on," Kaze started, " At the moment that's all we know, Kori's spying right now."
"You had a fever most of the night, because of how long we stayed in the rain," Fuaiyaa added. "That's why you woke up with a throbbing headache."
Tohru nodded,
"Is...is that all?" Tohru asked, Both girls nodded.
"For now anyways." Kaze said, packing up everything they had, She grabbed some Tylenol and a water bottle from the small refrigerator, and handed them to Tohru. "Here, you'll need these." Tohru nodded, drinking them.
"I'm gonna change..." Fuaiyaa grabbed some clothes and walked into the bathroom, coming out, wearing loose red jeans, with a short sleeved dark red button down shirt.
"Right well, I'm ready!" Fuaiyaa grinned, Kaze smiled back, Tohru just smiled her Tohru Smile. Suddenly pounding came from the door,
Everybody's head's snapped to the it, Kaze carefully looked through the peephole, finding it was the lady from yesterday. She opened the door.
"Yes?"
"Ma'am! There are tons of guards looking for you three! I didn't know you were criminals!" She started frantically,
"We're not criminals!" Kaze snapped,
"Well, they're looking for you! They say they'll kill me if I don't turn you three in!"
Kaze rolled her eyes.
"Dummy, they won't kill you. Akito's not that stupid." The blond stared at her, "Stall them for a few minutes!"
Kaze slammed the door, "KORI!"
Yea yea, don't have to scream, I'm here,
"We're leaving. You know what to do."
Right got it.
Throwing Tohru a pair of black tights, Tohru stared in confusion, "Don't want nobody to see up your skirt now do we?" She smiled, Tohru blushed,
and put them on quickly. In less then a minute the baggage, was gone. Tohru, Fuaiyaa and Kaze put on they're sneakers, that Kaze went out to buy a few hours ago.
"We can't run around in sandels now can we?" She grinned, Fuaiyaa jumped out the window first, landing on the fire escape. Right outside their window.
Grabbing Tohru's hand, she helped her out of the window, Kaze following closely behind, shouts and screams were heard outside the door.
Kaze slammed the window down, running down the metal stairs jumping off, she landed with a thud on the ground. In front of Tohru and Fuaiyaa.
Looking up at the window, which was slammed open, by one of the guards. She said, "Let's go." They started running behind the dark alley.
Stopping before a corner, Kaze looked around it.
"Where are we going to go?" Tohru asked, also looking.
"To...Akito's place, You'll stay hidden though," Kaze whispered, "Shigure's place must be empty by now. So you'll stay there." Tohru nodded.
"Then we'll come get you after we've gotten Kori, Kyo and Yuki."
"Right." Tohru nodded,
"But first we have to take care of those guards." Kaze counted the number of guards, "all...ten...fifteen of them..."
"Ok...well. Let's get to it." Fuaiyaa said, clenching her fist, in front of her and grinning,
"Right. Tohru...do you know how to fight?"
"Err...not alot, only what I was able to see of Yuki and Kyo fighting..." Tohru said,
"Good! Good That's...good...Well take what you see and use it to help us fight! Take on as many as you can. Ok?" Tohru nodded.
"On the count of three we take on those three right there." Kaze pointed towards the three guards, one was female, while the other two were male.
"Tohru you take on the girl we'll take the guys."
"Right!" With that they started running towards them, Kaze pulled out a pocket knife and opened it, holding it samurai style she ran straight towards the guard, and slashed him on the side. Expecting to feel blood on her, she turned around, water splattering upon her. "What the..."
Fuaiyaa high kicked the other one, he dodged it, by ducking, then kicking her against the side, throwing and winding her against the wall. "Ah!"
She rolled, barely missing a low kick.
"Fu!" Kaze shouted, "Carefull will you!" Kaze slashed another one. These guards aren't ordinary guards! They're not made of flesh and blood- She striked another, water splashing unto the ground, she backflipped unto her hands, pushing her self into a standing positions as one of the guards slashed right where her hands were. -They're made of...- More water splashed unto the ground, and walls and trash cans, as Tohru kicked one in the stomach as hard as she could.
"Water!" All three of them said. They stood back to back, all of them staring back and forth at the guards.
More guards surrounded them. They looked around narrowing their eyes.
"Ready?" Kaze said, already targeting her next three opponents.
"Ready!" Tohru and Fuaiyaa shouted.
"Well...What are you three waiting for?" All three of them looked up in time to see Kori standing on one of the electric poles, grinning. Her hand on her chin.
"Kori!" They shouted in relief.
"I think...we can do better then this." Kori nodded, agreeing with herself. She looked down at them, standing up, showing her dark blue tights, a blue skirt delicatly placed above it, with a light blue shirt, a glint presented its self in her eyes, She lifted her arms straight out to the sides. " Kaze, Fu...Attack!" Kori jumped off the pole, with a front double twist flip.
Kicking one of the guards that jumped up towards her, going through the water, her hair glistening. Kaze flew through three guards, all of them bursting, water splattered everywhere. Fuaiyaa, struck three down, by throwing a trash can lid, in a frisbe motion. Tohru, struck two down, by punching them as hard as she could in the stomach and Kicking them in the face. "Ha!"
"Oh! Tohru, I didn't know you could fight!" Kori said, as she struck one down, with the palm of her hand, into the chest of one, then high kicking them in the head.
"Neither did I!" Tohru panted, "I'm a fast learner, I saw-" She back handed one then twirled in kicked them in the chest, sending him flying into the trash cans. "-Yuki and Kyo fighting like this." Kori grinned,
Perfect...
"Only Four left Fu, Kaze Tahru!" Kori shouted, The girls stood behind her, "Go for it."
Running towards the last four, they jumped into the air and attacked, with their feet, sending them flying,
Kori raised her hands on either side of her head,
"Ice Blades!" bringing them down, the ice went flying towards the guards, spinning quickly, all three girls backflipped, and landed right behind the attack. The ice blades, sliced through the water guards.
"Yea!" They high fived.
"Well now that that's over, Let's get going, hm?" Kori said, putting her hands behind her head. They nodded,
"Ok." With that they started walking along the back of the alley, occasionaly attacking some guards.
"I think...We should run along the roof tops, if we want to make it to Shigures house..." Kori mumbled, looking up at the three story building.
"Yes. I think that would be faster." Tohru nodded, "But...How are we going to get up there?"
Kori pointed to the ladders, "Oh" Kori grinned,
"Dummy Tahru-kun!" She laughed, letting a blushing Tohru to go up first. then Kaze then Fu, then her. "Whoa...that was a long way up."
"It only took us, a minute and half." Kaze deadpanned,
"So?" Kori blinked, "Well anyways," Kori waved away dismissively, "We've got an element to protect."
"An 'element to protect'?" Tohru asked, "Who's that element?" Kori looked at her,
"Um..." Kori looked away, at the sun that was slowly setting across the horizon, making the sky blend with the colors, red, orange, pink, white, yellow, and blue. "That element would be Earth..."
"And who's the earth element?" Tohru asked,
"Not yet Tahru-kun." Kori breathed, "I'll tell you later."
"Oh..."
Why do you keep hiding it from her...?
I...I don't know Kouru...
You better tell her soon, or else she'll be captured...
She won't be captured.
Alright, if you insist.
"Let's go." Kori started running on the roof tops jumping from roof to roof, the others following suit.
"Where are they!" Akito shouted, "Where are those damn brats!" He grabbed Yuki's chin, digging his nails into the skin. "Where. Are. The. Brats?" He ended up shouting in his face. Yuki flinched,
"I don't know Akito." Yuki whispered.
"What was that?" Akito shouted, "I can't hear you! Speak. Louder." Yuki glared at his hands. How had he ended up in this mess again?
"I don't know akito!" Yuki said louder.
"That's Lord Akito to you!" Akito snarled, letting go of Yuki's chin. "In fact the whole Zodiac will now call me. Lord Akito!" He laughed evily, Raising his hands, making more guards. Then moving his hand in a circular motion, Pulling forth a thrown, in fact he changed the whole room, the ground no longer was wood, it was now water, deeper, the walls had water flowing up a pipe that was not there, and flowing down, the ceiling was a tiled blue, the japanese symbol for water, written on each corner, in a dark blue.
The door though, remained that of wood. Yuki looked down into the water, being mesmerized by its deep flowing, in circles. Around him, surounding him. He looked at the room. The walls, water, you couldn't find no trace of wood, except that of the door. Suddenly, the room seemed larger, smoother, In some corners, there were small waterfalls. The thrown Akito was now sitting in seemed farther away, behind him, was a large water fall, combining smoothly with the water already on the floor.
"Isn't it fasinating Yuki?" Akito marbled at his own creation, looking around, "Amazed that I, your Lord, can create such a thing?" He stepped off his thrown, walking daintly on the water, Yuki stared, amazed that he wasn't falling in. He looked down. "Stand up Yuki." Yuki sat there. He hadn't even heard Akito. "Yuki!" Yuki snapped his head up. "Stand Up." Yuki stood, taking a step backwards to regain his balance. His step causing rings to ripple outwards. Then smooth back into the water.
"How...?" Yuki was at a loss for words.
"How could I cause this?" Akito finished for him, "Simple really, I control water. I can do whatever I want with it! I can...I can even turn this whole estate, into my own Castle!" Yuki's eyes widened,
"Y-you can?" Yuki breathed, looking at the oval like indentations. Two were already filled. The Dog, and the Cat. He walked towards them, water filled the oval, their hair, floating, they were floating. Up and down, as if the water were breathing them. They were sleeping, waiting.
"See those Oval indentations?" Akito asked, "Those are for the remaining Zodiac." Yuki looked up, the names of the animals, written in cursive, the words were written with water.
Yuki read, The Cat, Boar, Dog, Dragon, Snake, Ram, Rabbit, Ox, Tiger, Horse, Monkey, Rooster and...the rat...The Rat! he turned he's eyes widening. "B-but why?" He said, trembling.
"How 'bout I finish this." He waved towards his water room, "First. Then I answer your question." Yuki nodded stepping back, still not quite believing he was walking on water. Akito fell to his knees. Holding his hands, his first two fingers on both hands sticking up. The rest latched unto each other. Suddenly Yuki could hear water filling up the halls, the same exact patters, as the room they were in now.
Taking place, water running to non-existing pipes, in some the current was up in others the current went downward, back into the water, that replaced the wood. now 15 feet deep. The walls also covered in walls. Hatori came running in. Looking at Akito through widened scared eyes. Suddenly the water around him swallowed him whole.
"Hatori!" Yuki called outstretching his hand. Hatori looked at him as best he could through blurry eyes, before he all together, fell asleep. The water traveled him into his desegnated spot on the wall. His coat, flowing behind him, he opened his eyes one last time, before he closed them.
The sleeping toxin in the Water, specially created by Akito, making him go to sleep. Screams were heard, Before the Rabbit, Ox and Tiger appeared, underwater of course, their hair flowing, glistening underwater. They opened their eyes one last time, looking at Yuki. Their eyes pleading for help.
"Momiji, Haru, Kisa!" Yuki called. placing his hand on the Water floor, pushing it through, but the water wouldn't allow him too. His eyes widened, scared. What should he do?
Who's left? He thought, He looked at the empty spaces. One by one the members of the Zodiac were brought in, through the water currents, sleeping do deep in sleep to be able to open their eyes.
"Hiro, Ayame, Rin, Kagura, Ritsu, Kasuma!" Yuki shouted, clawing effortly at the water, "Wake up! Please wake up!" Yuki sobbed.
"They're sleeping," Akito said, staring at them from his sitting position, effortlessy standing back up. "Come, lets...walk around..." Akito motioned toward the Door, that was no longer made of wood, but water, thick enough to not let anybody see in or out.
Entering the hallways. The maids, also were in spheres, From Children to baby's.
"Slowly Yuki, I'm going to take over, I'll be the Powerful new God!" Akito said, smirking. "the Zodiac held in their respective spheres. Staying with me, every step of the way." Yuki's eyes widened, Akito showed him the...room. The dark room, Made of completely black water, "I still have your room, ready." Continueing to walk around, The whole estate was covered and overflowing in water.
"Why...?" Yuki stumbled. "Why are you doing this?"
"Because. It's time I took control, we'll live a happy life." Akito said, he's face looking up. "Now-" He looked at Yuki "-It's time for you to go to your respective sphere." Raising his hand, Water surounded Yuki, making him drop slowly downwards,
"We'll have the whole Zodiac together now, All that's missing are those brats, and the earth spirit." with that the water engulfed Yuki, The earth spirit? Who...who is the earth spirit? He's eyes and body grew heavy, Somebody help...please...stop... He slowly opened his eyes one last time as he saw he was being carried back and placed completely back into his place, ..Akito...
"Tohru!" Kori caught Tohru by the wrist, preventing her from falling off the roof. "I got ya!" Tohru looked down, smiling gratefully, grabbing Kori's other hand, Kori hoisted her up.
"Thanks," Tohru said, rubbing her wrist.
"You gotta be more careful Tahru-kun!" Kori said,
"Hey!" Fuaiyaa called, "wasn't that the Sohma estate?" Kaze smelled the Air.
"Wasn't? It is the Sohma Estate!" Kori called, from behind them. She walked towards them, looking over the edge. "Oh my god..."
"It's all water...everything..." Kaze said, Looking around at all the houses. "This means, Akito can trace us where ever, He probably has transformed Shigure's place into a water shrine..." Kori shook her head.
"This means he's forced us to take Tahru with us!" Kori said, she pounded into the cement floor. "One of the guards must've overheard us when we took a break. When you told me the plan, he must've leaked back and leaked the information to him..." Tohru sat. Shaking.
"What's gonna happen to Yuki? To Kyo?" Tohru asked, fear in her eyes.
"I don't know, but we have to save them!" Kori clenched her fist, "I'll put all my power into saving Kyo! I love that stupid cat!"
If Kyo hadn't been in the sphere, he's eyebrow would've twitched. "And nothing will get in the way!"
"Yea!" Tohru stood up, also clenching her two fist, in shear determination. "I'll put all my strength and power into saving Yuki! I love that damn rat!" Had Yuki also not been in the sphere he's eyes would've flashed. They both looked at each other, and giggled.
"C'mon Tohru, we gotta get past that." Kori pointed to the Sohma estate, or what was the Sohma Estate. Now, The whole main house, was covered in water, everything. From the walls. to the roof. "It's different..." The Main house no longer sported the old house, now it was more of a water castle, water held in a cone motion, water flowing from the tips falling back unto the water ground. The gates stood higher, water guards protecting the front.
"I'm coming Kyo."
"Yea me too!" Kori raised her eyebrow..."F-for Y-yuki I-I mean." Tohru blushed.
"Right. Well." Kori said, standing up on the edge, "let's go, "Get on my back Tohru." Tohru, with the help from Kaze, climbed unto Kori's back, Putting her arms around her neck. "Not to tight, that way...I don't choke..." Grabbing her legs, she crossed them across her waist, Tohru looked down, they were up on the highest building nearest the Sohma Estate. The building had about 100 floors, ((a/n: I'm not sure if this is possible, but the building needs to be very very high)) Her eyes became swirls.
Kori was going to free fall
"I'm going to free fall Tohru, hold on tight." Kori said, looking down at the people looking at the Sohma Estate. Or Now the Water Temple.
"What?" Tohru said, clenching tighter.
"Hold on!" Kori jumped, spreading her arms. Her hair, flapping wildly in the air. Kaze stared before jumping as well. Head first. her hair pulling out of the tie she had it in. Fuaiyaa grinned. Letting herself fall head first. Her short hair, going up, into temperary spikes. Tohru shrieked.
Kori turned around, making Tohru let go, quickly turning around, Her wings spread she grabbed Tohru and held her against her chest. Her wings catching the wind caused her to go higher, but slow down on the speed she was going. Kaze's white short wings opened, also catching the wind, causing her to go higher. Fuaiyaa, was dropping steadily faster. She was waiting for the opportune moment to show off.
"Fu! Open your wings now!" Kaze shouted, Fuaiyaa ignored her.
3...
"NOW FU!" Kori shouted
2...
"FUUUU!"
1...
"Ah!" Fuaiyaa's wings grew painfully from her back, making her wince. Suddenly as she was catching the wind, her wings were aflame. Spreading them as far as she could, she started flapping them. "Awesome isn't it?" She grinned at Kaze and Kori who were glaring at her. She laughed nervously. Landing on the cement ground, Kori, Kaze, and Fuaiyaa, quickly hid their wings once again. Letting go of Tohru, Kori stretched.
"Let's go..." All four started running. Tohru ran as best she could, from trembling. It sort of made her unbalanced.
Dodging a few guards, and killing the front gate ones, they stood at the door. "We're here."
The wind blew past them making their hair flow to the right.
"Here we come Akito." Kori stared defiantly at the gate.
It's time.
