Chapter 1: Kyo's New Fate

I'm back! And it only took me a day to come back! WOOT! Here is the long awaited Sequel to Aikyou. I've been getting asked to type a sequel since like chapter 17 I think. I can't believe people were thinking so far ahead. I welcome back my faithful reviewers. I pray that 'Kan Yume' is as successful as 'Aikyou'. PLEASE R&R, lol.

Kyo stares at Akito in confusion. He looks at Yuki carefully and wonders what had made him speak up. Did it have something to do with what he had made him promise? Kyo …promise me, that after this fight…you let me get a sentence in… Yuki had spoken so calmly as he had said this before their fight. But, if it was so important then it should have been said before the match even began.

Suddenly, Shigure, Hatori, and Kureno come outside after noticing that the four of them had escaped from the building (that included Akito). Sighing, Shigure approaches Akito and whispers something into her ear.

"You said you were going to tell him!" She swings her open hand around and nails Shigure in the side of the face. He stumbles backward and hits the wall, falling to the ground in a sitting position now. Akito diligently glares at Kyo and then a small smirk crept onto her angry face. "Kyo…are you aware that your curse was almost broken?" She asks trying to sound as nice as she possibly could. Both Tohru and Kyo stood, staring at Akito dumbfounded. Then, Tohru began to remember the time when she was locked up in that cold, icy dungeon-like room. Shivering a little, she looks at the ground. "Your love for each other was destroying it!" Akito roars viciously. Tohru takes a step back and hides behind Kyo in a fear. "Obviously, during the time of Kyo's recent training, that love had diminished. Even without that matter, I am still going to lock Kyo up in the room that was meant for him. Imagine what would have happened if that wench had broken your curse? You'd be free! But instead you left for a month to get training from Kazuma-dono!" A great deal of laughter erupts from Akito.

Kyo looks at her in shock now. Could he actually believe everything Akito was saying? Was it his fault that his curse was still upon him? If only he had stayed with her instead of going on his little trip for extra training. Then, it sprang at his mind, clawing roughly at his thoughts. He looks up towards Akito now, a large smile on his face. "You can't lock me up Akito!" Kyo exclaims sounding extremely proud. Everyone looks at him -including Yuki- as if they were lost. "I beat Yuki! I beat him! Just like you said I couldn't! But I did and you can't lock me up! It was part of our bargain! It isn't allowed Akito!" He shot, taking a stomp forward, but it was only an intimidating step.

Looking at him in a little fear she groans. "Well then…I guess you've proven a point." Akito lets out a deep sigh and puts her hands at her hips, gazing at the ground. "I failed to trick you into thinking you had lost everything. But it…didn't work?" Her tone of voice began to make everything even more confusing.

Tohru smiles happily and hugs Kyo's right arm from behind. She peaks passed his arm at Akito who's defeated expression made her feel even more elated. Then, a change in her face occurred. "Why does Akito-san not look sad any more Kyo-kun?" She asks becoming more and more curious by the second. Kyo shook his head not being able to answer the question she had asked. If there was any good time to be inquisitive, it was now. No one knew what was going through Akito's mind except for Yuki and Shigure. Sadness had befallen their faces.

"Don't say it Akito! Please! Don't let what you told me that night be true!" Yuki shouts this loudly, dropping to his knees, staring at the ground as he pounded his fist into it, a few bones vociferously cracking. He lets out a soft yelp and a tear dripped. "It'll hurt Honda-san! Don't say it Akito…. please…. don't say it…" he sounded as if he were begging her to keep her mouth shut. Right now, he was the person nearest to Akito and that is a bad thing to be.

Slowly making her way towards Yuki, Akito kneels down and lifts Yuki's head up with her index finger so that they met eye-to-eye. "Are you giving me orders?" She questions quietly, "Are you commanding me to not say anything?" Akito continued on, all her fingers on his face now, nails digging into his skin.

"I'm…begging you…. don't tell them what you told me and Shigure." He bows his head gently. Her fingernails were now digging gently into his neck. She drops her hand from his neck and grins, standing up quickly.

She staggers for a moment a give Kyo a grin. "You thought that you outsmarted me. You brought up the fact that you had just beaten Yuki. YOU EVEN HAD THE AUDACITY TO REMIND ME OF OUR DEAL!" Akito exclaims angrily, kicking Yuki to the side. He skids across the ground on his arms and yells in pain. "But, you… yourself, have forgotten the actual deal…" She whispers knowingly as she approaches both Kyo and Tohru. Instantly, she catches a glimpse of Tohru and glares harshly. "Recite…our deal Kyo," orders Akito, her voice as clear as ever.

Kyo opens his mouth to speak and then stops himself. He quickly begins once again. "I said that if I could beat Yuki before graduation then I can become a member of the Juunishi and not be locked away. But if I didn't I'd have to live the rest of my life in that hell hole of a room…" His voice trails off as he remembers what being alone in a room without anyone around feels like. "I beat him…. so… I don't have to be locked up…you're changing it around aren't you!" He exclaims loudly now, trying to catch Akito within her own tricks.

Hysteria overcame Akito as she wraps her arms around her stomach and laughs heartily. "Ah…you are sure funny for a monster…" The words came out as harshly as she could say them. "Why don't you ask Yuki, or even Shigure, what I told them over two and a half months ago? I bet Yuki's been trying to tell you for the longest time… and then you disappear to Kazuma's home." Her voice grew louder with every hateful word. "I spoke to your father. He wants me to dispose of Ms. Honda. But… I'm too kind at the heart to do that though. I couldn't bear to see someone so much less superior then me die at my hands or anyone that I order around to do so." More chuckling came from her mouth; her nose flares a little as he anger began to glow through her laughing. Kyo glares at Akito full of more fury then his body had ever experienced. The way he was speaking of Tohru was making him angrier by the second and at the mention of his father hatred raged on. "It seems you're getting a little upset. Didn't your newest training teach you to control such things as that?" Akito questions him trying to change the subject that she brought up.

Kyo quickly looks at Yuki who was slowly, but surely, regaining his composure as he got to his feet. He shot a questioning stare at him the moment they made eye contact. "What have you been trying to tell me Yuki…?" He inquires trying to drag the answer out of him with a clawing gaze.

"I should've told you the day after I was informed Kyo….but my hatred of you fueled my mind and told me not to tell you…-." A furious Cat-san cuts him off.

"ANSWER MY GOD DAMN QUESTION YUKI!" He roars leaving Tohru beside Hatori before he charges at Yuki with a ruthless look consuming his whole face.

Yuki looks at the ground sadly and then whips his head up to watch Kyo come towards him. "I didn't tell you for another reason too…" Kyo stops as he hears Yuki begin a new subject. He listens to what he has to say once again. "I knew that… if I told you, you'd be mentally hurt and that would bother Honda-san…. I…." He pauses and looks at Kyo knowing that after he says the last part of his sentence, that he will be hated for the rest of his life. "I love Tohru just as much as you!" Yuki shouts, looking at the ground now.

Kyo's eyes grow wide. Everyone seemed to go into shock. Especially Akito, who was getting even angrier then she was earlier. "Did…you just say her name?" Kyo mutters questioningly.

Shigure stares at Yuki. "Did you just say her name?" He repeats.

"I JUST ASKED THAT DUMBASS!" Shigure shivers as he hears Kyo's maximum rage. He looks at Yuki waiting for a response. Even Tohru had become quite shocked. It must have pierced Yuki's heart when he found out that it wasn't he she loved.

Hatori places his hands on her arms holding her on her feet in case she were to suddenly collapse from all of this random, heartbreaking, and thought shattering news.

He nods in response to Kyo's question. "Yes. I said her name…" his voice begins to trail off now. "Baka neko…" Yuki mutters in slight annoyance. Seeing Kyo cringe at what he was called, he laughs a little. "Do you want me to tell you what I was told those two months ago?" Kyo nods slowly, the curiosity overcoming his mind. "Akito-san told me…that even if you were to beat me, you couldn't live on the 'outside'." Yuki says plainly as if it were no big deal. Obviously the anger that Kyo had exhibited when he heard that he too loved Tohru had upset him greatly.

"What!" Kyo exclaims in horrific astonishment. "Why! I beat you!"

Akito laughs gleefully and pushes her hair away from her eyes. "My dear baka neko, I knew that you would beat Yuki with that extra training you planned on having. "She grins and notices a blank expression of Kyo's face. "Yes, I had known that you would eventually have the urge to go back to Kazuma just to become strong enough to beat Yuki. Of course, you wanted to do it with Ms. Honda around so that you could prove to her that you are not weak." Kyo continues to stare at her as angrily, yet surprised as ever. He couldn't figure out how she had come up with everything he had done before he had did it. "Kyo…what time did your graduation begin again?"

Kyo stares at Akito having completely know idea what the time had to do with anything. He glances at his watch and looks back at Akito. "It began at 11:30 A.M." Kyo replies quietly. She nods and then asks when it had ended. "Three o'clock…." His voice fades away as he checks his watch to make sure he said the correct time. It was around six o'clock now. Much time had passed from when the ceremony ended because of all the parents and fellow students congratulating them and holding them up, and of course, you can't forget the fight between Kyo and Yuki. "What the hell does the time have to do with me being locked up you damn Bas-tich!" He exclaims viciously taking a step towards both Yuki and Akito.

Shigure was huddling in a corner, using his cell phone to call Ayame to inform him of everything that was going on, and completely over-exaggerating every single tiny detail of it.

"You had to have heard the phrase 'Time is of the essence' right Kyo? Your time just happens to be up." Akito laughs evilly as if the joke was the most hilarious thing she had ever said. Slowly, she walks towards Kyo, not an ounce of fear inside her body or thoughts. Carefully Akito places her hands on his shoulders, looking up at Kyo curiously. "Kyo…the deal was 'If you can beat Yuki before graduation then you can stay free and become a member of the Juunishi. The key word in that certain deal, was before."

Yuki shakes his head. He was informed of this just as Shigure had. Sorrowful thoughts and feelings ripped at Tohru's mind and heart. She tried to pull away from Hatori who was now holding her back. "Ky-yooooo!" She calls for him sadly. He glances back at her and sighs not wanting to leave her. Not now. Not at this time. He didn't want to and he didn't care if Akito was going to try to force him. Tohru had her left arm extended, hand open as if she were trying to reach for Kyo from the distance she was from him. He motions for her to stop yelling his name and she does so.

"Akito…. I beat him…doesn't that matter? I beat him and you're still going to lock me up because it was after that stupid ceremony!" He says in a loud, raspy whisper. It was clear that the idea of being locked up, after completing his end of the deal sounded extremely stupid, and most of all, wrong. Carefully, he turns his back to Akito and walks towards Hatori and Tohru. "I guess…. I wont be able to stay…. or become a member of the Juunishi…." He whispers to her solemnly. She shakes her head and looks at the ground; her face showed an even sadder expression then ever. It was like the face that she had mad when she found out her mother had died in a car accident, and like the time Kyo went off for training, even if he was only going to be gone for a month.

He places his hand on her head and smiles at her gently. "Nothing Akito says can make me stop loving you Tohru…." Kyo mutters to her, his lips beside her ear so that it allowed only her to know what he was saying. And, no more then a second later, he found her arms tightly around him in a way that told him she wouldn't be letting go.

Hatori spoke up, staring at Akito from a distance. "Akito-san…please don't do this. We had always wanted Kyo to be free and now he's able to express himself like a per-." Akito's roaring voice cut him off.

"HE IS NOT A PERSON! HE IS A THING!" Her voice was louder then ever and it was drawing students and staff towards the back of the school. It had come to Akito's mind that Kyo still hadn't transformed. "LET GO OF HIM WENCH!" She exclaims roughly.

"Why…" her voice trails off as she glances at Akito by looking past Kyo's arm.

Wow, there it is. The first chapter of 'Kan Yume'. God dangit…I hate saying first chapter. We're back to the drawing board…. dun dun dun.. or are we? JK, but I hope everyone enjoyed.
