Yuki sat outside the hut until the sun had set walking inside he sat across from Kyou watching Tohru that lay in his arms struggling for air. Kyou looked at Yuki "Take care of her... I... I have to go to Akito's.." he got up walking to the door "Protect her with your life"
"... What happen when she wakes up she'll try looking for you, you damn cat!" He growled standing up.
Kyou looked at him "Believe it or not.. I trust you.. Lie for me.. say I went to get some food.. I shouldn't be too long!"
He looked away from the cat as he sat beside Tohru taking off his jacket to keep her warm. "... Bring her back something to keep warm you damn cat."
Kyou nodded walking out "Take care of her ya damn rat" He walked towards the estate chewing his lip.
She sifted in her sleep Yuki looking down to her with sadness in his eyes. Kyou walked into Akito's room his head low, he knelt down in front of the other looking away sadly.
He leaned down slowly lifting his head slowly. "...Your going to continue to let her suffer like Kana." He lifted his hand smacking him across the face. "Your a monster nothing will change that she's scared of you that's why she stays beside you!" He kicked him hard in the stomach forcing him to the ground.
Kyou coughed a bit curling up into a ball his eyes closed tight "I-I'm not.."
"How do you know... She's lying to you acting like everything's fine when she's scared... of the monster you are!" He grabbed Kyou roughly by the collar of his shirt. "...Your a monster..."
Kyou growled glaring at Akito "No more then you are"
He smirked. "...What changed your mind about her memories you found out about her family she'd have no where to go... and it would be all your fault..." Smirks as he watched him.
Kyou glared harder "No.. Because she said she wanted to be by my side.. I gave her a chance to never see the monster from me.. And she chose to be by my side.. Your wrong Akito.. Your a liar and.. The only monster in this family.. is you"
He moved closer to him grabbing his wrist tugging on his bracelet. "...This is the only thing that keeps you from your true self..."
Kyou bit down on Akito's hand making him let go of the bracelet "It comes off. The first thing I'll destroy.. is you.. I'll kill you"
He moved his hand back away as he smirked his eyes sifted to the door that led to his chamber. "I'm bored with you." He turned his back to him. "...Run along little monster kill the girl you love."
Kyou stood up glaring "I'm not going to kill her... Stop trying to make me feel bad.. Its not working anymore" He walked out of the room
Akito smirked as he sat back on the window seal whispering. "...Run little monster, but I got your flower."
Kyou ran back towards Yuki's hide out and blinked walking in "Oi.. Rat.. Where are you?..." Faint squeaking could be heard as he lay in a jar in his zodiac form. Kyou blinked then pulled him from the jar "Where's Tohru? What happened!"
He looked to him sadly. "...They found us... they took her I couldn't fight them..."
Kyou shivered then put Yuki in his pocket "we have to find her!"
"... I don't know where they took her..." He let out a weak whimper he had been hurt so bad that he was reduced to his zodiac form.
Kyou stood up running towards the estate "I have a good guess on where they took her rat.. Just rest in my pocket ok?"
Akito sat in his chamber smirking hearing Kyou outside he stood slowly. "Don't be shy Kyou-kun... come right in."
Kyou shivered walking in slowly keeping one hand in his pocket making sure Yuki was still breathing, he glared at Akito. He smiled. "Two visits in one day."
Kyou growled, "Where is Tohru!"
He shook his head. "Still unconscious I'm afraid Hatori-san gave her some good medicine." He smirked. "...All though I do like a little struggle."
Kyou growled, "Let her go! She's not a Sohma you have no right to her!"
"... Your an outcaste what's the deference your flower has been plucked and is wilting... All she is surrounded by are thorns."
Kyou grabbed Akito's shirt collar holding him up "I swear.. I'll kill you... I'll kill you slowly for what you did to EVERYONE I love! I never did a thing to you! LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!"
"You are the cat you are the one who cursed this family... you have no right to happiness just like the wench that thought she could save the poor cat..." He smirked looking down to him. "...Kill me and you'll never get her back."
Kyou shivered then slowly let him down "Where is she... Tell me where she is!"
"...I've taken two days off your sentence you can thank her when she comes to... well if she wants to..." He smirked Hatori bringing her in laying her at Akito's feet before leaving. Akito smirked as he kicked in the side rolling her toward him. "...One more day and I'll let the cat be free..."
Kyou knelt down brining her into his arms glaring at Akito "One day.. I swear.. I swear I'll show you the pain I go through" he picked her up "I'm leaving..."
He smirked waving. "...I'll see you tomorrow Kyou-kun."
Kyou carried her outside then shivered "Rat.. you still alive?"
"...Yes is Ms. Honda...?" He tried to sit up in his pocket trying to peer outside.
Kyou nodded "Yea... I'm taking you both away from here..." he sighed "we'll go somewhere.. They won't find us... You want to come?"
"...Yes I want to protect Ms. Honda."
Kyou nodded then started running "Alright.. I'll.. I'll take you to my master's place.. I only got tomorrow to do then I'll join you guys.. Then.. I'm free.."
He nodded lightly Tohru's head shifted slightly as she let out a weak cry. "...Kyou-kun..." Her voice was barely above a whisper.
Kyou shivered then nuzzled her neck but kept running "Its alright Tohru.. Shhhh rest now.." She gripped his shirt weakly trying to keep him close. Kyou ran for hours till he finally got to where he was going, panting softly he slowly walked to the house entrance now completely tired from all that running.
His master looked up from where he sat with one of his students. His eyes filled with sadness seeing Kyou holding the girl in his arms. "... Kyou-kun."
Kyou shivered tears in his eyes "I... I needed to.. g-get her from Akito.. Her and Yuki.. He.. Akito.. He.. he hurt them.. I'm free t-tomorrow... can... Can I stay till... Till I find a p-place.. Please... Pleas e master.."
He stood slowly taking the girl from his arms. "You never have to ask Kyou-kun go clean up I'll get some medicine for her."
Kyou shivered "She.. She might be.. Pregnant.. With my baby.. T-take care of her.. Please.. Your.. the only one now I feel I can trust.. The rat tried..." he put Yuki on Tohru's stomach then wobbled off to get washed up. Yuki looked up weakly to Tohru's pale face a low cry as Kyou's master took her into one of the back rooms laying her on a bed.
Kyou washed his face then shivered looking at himself in the mirror, he growled a bit looking away "I'.. I failed her.."
Yuki watched him carefully staying close to Tohru his master undressed her to tend to the new wounds Akito gave her the rat looking away sadly. Kyou walked to the room his head low, he looked at the three tears in his eyes. "...Kyou-kun what happened to her?" Yuki looked up to the cat not knowing if would lie to his master like he had lied to him days before of what happened to Tohru.
Kyou shivered falling on his knees "They all.. All wanted to... hurt her... I failed her.. its m-my fault master.."
"...Kyou-kun go get some blankets and get a bed ready for her so she can rest." He knelt down beside him picking his head up. Kyou nodded then wiped his tears running off to get blankets and a bed ready for her. He stood finishing as he wrapped the last wound he pulled down a long robe that samurai's would wear when the fought he had no girl clothing for her all he could do was dress her in something warm and comfortable.
Kyou came back then knelt before the man "I gave her my old room.. If that's ok.. I'll take her there..."
He nodded lightly handing her over carefully Yuki sitting near her head. "...Kyou-kun you saved her that's all that matters."
Kyou shivered taking her "No.. I got her into this mess.." he carried her to His old room the blinked looking at Yuki "Oi Rat you'll be sleeping on the floor of my old room with me.. got it?"
"...You should lay Ms. Honda cat if she wakes up and your gone she'll start crying like when you left her with me..."
Kyou sighed "I'm not leaving her.. I'll be sleeping on the floor to give her room"
He nodded lightly as she looked to him sadly. "... Kyou-kun I wasn't able to protect her either..."
Kyou shook his head "You did a better job then I could have" he laid Tohru on the bed and brought the blankets over her. Her eyes opened halfway as she looked to him sadly her eyes had changed they were longer soft and filled with happiness, now they held a darkness and fear.
Kyou kissed her head his eyes filled with sorrow "Tohru.."
She smiled weakly. "... I love you... Kyou-kun..."
Kyou smiled softly "I love you too..."
Her hand went to his cheek weakly petting it as she smiled. "...Your really here..."
Kyou nodded "Yea.. I'm here.."
"...Your not Akito-san... not like before..." Tears started to roll down her cheeks.
Kyou shivered closing his eyes "Shhhh.. Its ok.."
"... Please don't leave me... I promise to be good..." She struggled trying to sit up.
Kyou blinked "I won't leave.. Tonight.. But I have too tomorrow.. Unless you want me to be in the cage?" She shook her head quickly more tears forming. Kyou nuzzled her neck. She giggled weakly placing her hand to his cheek once more.
Kyou blushed "Sleep now ok?"
"...Will you hold me for a little bit...?" Kyou nodded then crawled on the bed curling up to her.
She smiled weakly as she closed her eyes. "...Thank you Kyou-kun..."
Kyou smiled kissing her cheek "Sleep" She blushed lightly nodding as she laid silently beside him. Kyou smiled falling asleep. Yuki returned shortly he had changed back and wore the same outfit Tohru had on except he was able to wear the pants he sat down on end of the bed staring outside the window almost watching over the two. Kyou shivered looking at him.
He looked down slowly. "I won't try anything stupid cat."
Kyou looked away "I know.. But.. So many betrayed me already.."
"...I knew Ms. Honda before you or the others..." He looked down sadly.
Kyou nodded nuzzling her neck "I know.." He kept his eyes down as he started to drift off to sleep. Kyou closed his eyes drifting off into sleep. She slept during the night crying into his shoulder shaking at times as she drifted threw her nightmares. The next morning Kyou pulled from her and frowned softly before kissing her and walked to the bedroom entrance.
Yuki looked up to him as he moved from the bed slowly. "... Why are you leaving her this earlier..."
Kyou shivered "I have to.. Its a long run to the Estate.."
He nodded lightly. "Tell your master your leaving so he knows what's going on."
Kyou nodded then walked out "take care of her for me"
He nodded lightly. "...Don't keep her waiting you damn cat." Kyou rolled his eyes then walked to his master's room leaving a note before running out the front door. Tohru looked to Yuki sadly she couldn't move her body without causing herself pains. Kyou ran back to the estate panting harshly, once there he walked to Akito's room with wobbly legs.
He sat by the window seal watching him smirking. "The last day."
