Chapter fourteen

Action

Tohru waited impatiently for Kyo to return from talking with the police. Two weeks had past and it was time to put their plan to action. But would they win? Would Akito be foolish enough to walk into their trap? Or did she already know they were up to something? "Tohru-san, if you keep pacing like that, you're going to ware a path in the floor," Kazuma said as he watched Tohru nervously pace.

"I'm sorry Kazuma-san, I'm just worried about Kyo-kun," Kazuma smiled at her.

"So am I. But I'm sure he'll take care of everything," Tohru knelt beside him.

"Kazuma-san," she started.

"Hmm?" Tohru bowed her head then smiled.

"Nothing. Just worrying again," she said. Suddenly she heard the door open and heard Kyo pronouncing he was back. She jumped up to meet him.

"Kyo-kun! Did it work? Did they believe you?" Kyo smiled at her and nodded.

"Yes. They're going to catch her right in the act!" Tohru's smile faded as another worry came to her.

"What about Uo-chan and Hana-chan are they going to be arrested too?" she asked. Kyo shook his head.

"No. They'll get out of all of this unharmed so don't worry. And soon, you'll be able to join them!" Tohru smiled and nodded her head.

Tohru and Kyo sat side by side in the carriage that the police had sent to fetch them. Kazuma had stayed behind to watch the house, so he said. In truth, he just wanted to give the two of them some time alone. Kyo stared at Tohru who was looking out the window, the rising moon casting shadows on her body. "Are you alright Tohru?" he asked. Tohru looked over at him and smiled.

"Yes. Fine," she answered. Kyo's face told her he didn't believe her.

"Tell me the truth Tohru," Tohru's smile faded and she looked down at her hands.

"The truth is, I'm afraid that Akito-san already knows what we're planning and already has a plan ready to trap us,"

"I guess that could happen, we are talking about Akito,"

"Maybe we should come up with a second plan, just in case this one fails,"

"We don't have time to come up with a second plan. All we can do is trust the government, which I hate to do but, we have no choice. And also," he bushed Tohru's hair back and smiled at her. "I will protect you to the very end," Tohru gripped his hand and looked at him sadly.

"Why would you do that?" she asked. Kyo took a deep breath and gathered all his courage.

"Because I lo-" but the feeling of the carriage stopping interrupted him and the door opened and they could see the government building.

"We're here already?" Tohru asked, standing up. Kyo ran his fingers threw his hair, frustrated. 'I was so close to telling her! It was perfect and we just had to be there already!' he thought. "Kyo-kun?" Kyo looked up and saw that Tohru was holding out her hand to him. "Are you coming?" he smiled and took her hand.

"Yes,"

Uotani and Hanajima both looked up at the clock. "They should be already there," Uotani said. Hanajima nodded.

"I hope that everything goes well,"

"Me too. If anything happened to Tohru I don't know what I would do," before Hanajima could say anything, the door opened and one of Akito's servants looked inside.

"Uotani-san, Akito-san wishes to speak to you," Uotani took a deep breath, gave one glance to Hanajima, and then followed the servant to Akito's room. She knocked on the door and when Akito's cold voice ordered her inside, she slid the door open and bowed.

"You wished to see me, Akito-san?" she asked. Akita smiled coldly at her.

"Yes. I was wondering if all the preparations have been made for tonight?" Uotani nodded.

"Everything is in order," 'Even the things you don't know about.' she added in her head, smiling inside. Akito stood up.

"Very well. You can leave," she said. Uotani bowed one more time and stood up. 'This is the last time I'll have to bow to you, Bitch.' she thought. "Oh Uotani," Akito said. Uotani stopped walking and turned to face her. "I know everything about you're little plans that you made with Hanajima and you're little Honda friend. Those officers are going to have a little surprise waiting for them," Uotani's eyes widened and she rushed out the door and outside. But waiting for her, were all Akito's gaurds. And they were blocking the way out. "Now Uotani did you really think I would tell you such valuable information then let you walk out of here?" Akito asked as she walked up behind Uotani. "Even if you get past my guards, you'll never make it in time. To bad for you," and she disappeared into the gathering darkness.

Tohru and Kyo stood in the Chief Officer's office. Kyo glanced at the clock. "Akito-san must be getting ready to leave by now," he said. Tohru looked at the clock, worriedly.

"I hope Uo-chan and Hana-chan are alright," she said.

"I'm sure they're fine. In no time at all, this all well be over,"

"That is correct Sohma-san," the Chief Officer said as he walked into his office. "I have just sent my troops to the planed meeting spot. In a matter of moments, both Akito and Takani will be caught and this all well be nothing more then a nightmare," Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a young officer walked in.

"Chief, there's a young girl who says she has important news about Akito,"

"Send her in!" the Chief ordered. The boy disappeared then walked back in, followed by Uotani. Uotani had bruises all over her body and seemed to be having a little trouble walking, but she lost no time in crying out.

"She knows! Akito knows about this plan! She has a surprise waiting for the troops who were planning to capture her and knowing her, it's not going to be good,"

Akito walked down the dark streets, two of her best guards on either side of her. "So is everything ready?" she asked.

"Yes Akito-san!" the two men chorused. Akito smiled evilly.

"Exilent. And here we are," she stopped walking and held out her hand to one of the men who dropped a circular shape wrapped in a cloth. "Like all sneak attacks, we have to have everything in the right places and the last piece is about to arrive," she only had to wait for a few seconds. Soon, Takani appeared in front of her, with two of his best guards at either side of him.

"Good Evening Akito-san," he greeted. Akito smiled coolly at him.

"Good Evening. Do you have what I asked for?" Takani smiled at her and pulled out an oddly shaped object wrapped in cloth. "Exilent,"

"Stop right there you two! You are all under arrest!" out of no where, about twenty officers appeared from the shadows, all carrying guns. Takani flung his arms into the air and was shaking with fright. Akito slowly raised her arms, smirking. 'And now it begins.' and in the bushes behind her, eyes appeared and not far away, shadowy figures waited to attack where Tohru and Kyo were. Akito's trap was only a few seconds from being sprung.

Another cliff hanger! You'll have to wait until next time to see what happens! Thanks for the reviews and keep them coming please! Later!
