"Kyo, are you not going to talk to her?" Kazuma tried as they all pilled into the car that was ready for them.
"What difference would it make? There's not hope left…." And with that everyone was silent. 'Although all may seem lost…there is always hope.' Kazuma thought to himself as he stared out the window.
They arrived at the main house no more then fifteen minutes later. Kyo's eyes already seeming to lose a bit of life, as if he were heading toward his grave. Kohaku led the way to Akitos room, seeming more gleeful then he had when he heard of Aktios sudden decision. He was ready to see his son locked in the dark room.
Aktio got up form his winsow and walked over to them. "Kyo, I am so glad you are here." Akito said with his murderous grin. Kyo didn't look at him, trying to avoided his eye contact as much as possible.
Kazuma could not bear to see, "Akito why are you doing this?" He asked with a bit of an edge to his voice.
Akito came closer to them all, "Because I can." He said simply. "Kyo, come." Akito told Kyo and Kyo followed.
They went alone, down a few corridors, entering some, coming out others, untill they came to a door, painted black. "Here we are." He said and opened the door showing nothing but the black depths of sorrow and loneliness.
Akito pushed Kyo in while Kyo wasn't paying attention, making him fall to his knees inside the bar-less prison. "So it begins…" Kyo said as the door was shut behind him.
In the dark he found a wall and sat against it, thinking of nothing but Tohru.
"Kyo's…gone?" Tohru asked in disbelief. "Yes, it appears Akito has won." Shigure said sounding hopeless.
"Stupid Cat." Yuki said and got up.
They were sitting at the dinning table. "Yuki..." Shigure started but Yuki was already going upstairs.
"Could it be our young Yuki will miss Kyo?" Shigure asked more to himself than Tohru. Tohru couldn't believe Akito would do such a thing.
Why did he move the date? Why did Kyo go?
But she knew the answer to the last question, Akito is…God, to the memers of the zodiac. Kyo couldn't go against him, not even the cat can…
Her eyes bated away tears, she didn't want them to show, not in front of Shigure. "Tohru, please try not to worry, we'll get Kyo out of this." He said trying to reassure her, but it don't help. I need to do something, but what? I need to…brake the curse, but how? A plan started to formulate in her head.
It's dark, and it's cold.
Kyo thought to himself. A few days had passed now, how many Kyo wasn't sure.
On the day that he arrived, Akito had come in twice after he pushed Kyo.
He talked of nothing but depression and sorrow, that made Kyo's insides squirm, longing, for it all to just end.
Kureno visited him three times a day for his breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but he was no means interested for conversation.
"Soon he will go insane." Akito said one evening to Kureno. Kureno only listened, what was he to do?
"I have bought you some blankets." Kureno said as he came to take Kyo's dinner plate.
Kyo took it gratefully and put it around himself. Why don't they have a heaters…? Kyo wondered.
He was surprised he was able to think so clearly, and he was surprised he haddent got crazy by now. How long is now?
"Kureno..?" Kyo asked in a shaky voice.
It felt like he haddent used it in a while. "Yes?" Kureno answered, wondering what Kyo was going to say. "How long has it been?" He asked. "About three weeks." He said.
It felt much longer to Kyo, it felt like years. He couldn't imagine being here that long, how long will his life last?
For the three weeks Kyo has been gone, Tohru became more and more worried. "Can we go see him?" She asked one evening to Shigure.
Shigure shook his head, "He can see no one but Akito and Kureno, it's the rules."
Hatori stopped by once during that time. "Hatori, have you heard form Kyo? Is he doing alright?" She asked, hoping, that maybe he was able to see Kyo.
"I'm sorry Tohru but I have not, Akito refuses to let me see him." Worry was in his eyes, worry that even Shigure had not seen for a long time. "Shigure may I speak to you in private?" Hatori asked.
Shigure led Hatori to his work room, where he wrote his novels and odd funky books. "He's not doing well. Being in that state for any person will have severe physiological problems. Akito is holding him in the 'The Black Door.'" Hatori said sipping thetea Tohru had brought before he and Shigure started in their conversation. Shigure nodded understanding, "We need to do something Hari, but what?" He was hoping Hatori might have figured out a plan.
"I don't know."
"My monster, how are you today?" Akito asked with a little bit of what seemed like mocking in his voice.
Kyo didn't respond.
His eyes burned from the sudden light of the opened door. Akito came to him, sitting by him. Kyo didn't move. From the corner of is ee Kyo saw Aktios face, a smile upon it, it made him sick.
"You are all alone my monster, but you have me. No one will save you, no one cares about you. Not even Tohru Honda. She has left you. She has gone with another, happier then she was even knowing you. She and everyone you know, has forgotten about you."
Kyo's head was bent low, but he did not stir to these words.
Akito tried to push the button within Kyo, that would make him fight.
"Tohru Honda, I have heard, is glad you are gone. She is glad you are confined." Akito tried, but nothing.
"Even Kazuma had said this was for the better." Nothing still, "She hates you." Akito said, and this time Kyo acted.
Kyo knew of only one thing that would make Akito shut the hell up.
Kyo looked Akito in the eyes, and Akito saw something then.
"You wouldn't dare." But to late, Kyo took off his beads.
ring,ring,ring
Shigure's phone rang in the other room. "Hello?" Tohru said answering it.
She came in Shigure's room a few moments after looking frantic, "Hatori it's for you, it is the main house." Tohru said waiting by the door.
Hatori quickly got up and answered the phone. A few minutes later he came back to Shigure and Tohru. "I must leave, something has happened." Shigure went after Hatori who dashed out of the house.
"Hari! What happened?" Shigure asked stopping at Hatori's car.
"Kyo took off his beads." Hatori said and skitted out the driveway.
((Sorry this is so short, i'll try and make the next chaper longer...))
