Hello everyone! Okay this story is almost over at least two more to go (including this chapter) so please bare with me!

Chapter fifteen

Hostage

Uotani watched as Tohru bandaged all her cuts and bruises. She was so happy that she had reached Tohru in time to warn her. But what was Akito's plan and did it involve Tohru being hurt. The same question was haunting Kyo. "So what are we going to do about Akito?" he asked the Chief.

"I guess I'll just have to send more men after her," Tohru stopped bandaging Uotani and stood up.

"I'm done Uo-chan," she said. Uotani nodded and stood up. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a young man opened the door.

"What is it you want?" Chief asked. The young man gave out a low moan and he fell forward, reviling a man holding a bloody sword. He smirked at them.

"Surrender with out any trouble and you'll be spared,"

Akito looked at the freaking out Takani and rolled her eyes. 'Fool. I don't mind getting rid of him.' she thought. Her eyes landed on the officers who were walking closer and lowered her arms. "Sorry officers, but I can't be arrested yet," she said and over thirty men jumped from the shadows and attacked the officers. Akito smirked and pulled out a pocket watch. 'It should already be starting. Just you wait Honda-san, I'll get you yet.'

"And what if we don't want to surrender?" Kyo asked, stepping in front of Tohru. The man smirked at them.

"Then we'll just have to force you," he whistled and the windows broke and about fifteen men climbed threw the window and into the office. Kyo pulled out the sword that he had taken with him and instantly started fighting, followed by the Chief.

"Uotani!" Kyo yelled over the noise.

"What?" she asked as she dodged a guy, elbowed him in the back of the neck and knocked him out.

"Catch," Uotani caught the sword that Kyo tossed to her. "Get Tohru out of here!" Uotani unsheathed the sword and killed two guys.

"Right," she grabbed Tohru's hand. "Come on Tohru,"

"But what about Kyo-kun?" she asked.

"He'll be fine. Come on!" Uotani dragged Tohru out of the room, a group of men following them. "Damnit! Why are they following us?" Uotani asked. She quickened her speed.

"Uo-chan wait! It's really hard to run this fast in a kimono!" she cried. Uotani clutched her teeth. 'That's right. And Tohru's not much of a runner anyways. I guess I'll just have to fight them.' she turned around, pushed Tohru behind her and started fighting with her opponents. She took down two but there were still three more. 'This is going to be tough.' she thought as she took down another man. She pushed one of the men into another, making them both collide into the wall and knocking both of them out. Now there was just one left. "Let's see how strong you are," Uotani said and charged. The man easily blocked her attack and pushed her back and they continued. Clash, clash, neither sword was hitting it's mark. They were evenly matched. 'This is going to take all night!' Uotani thought. She would have to cheat. She lead him over to the staircase then kicked him down it and he laid there. "Finally," Uotani thought, sheathing the sword. "We can go Tohru," she said and turned around. But Tohru was no where in sight. "Tohru?"

"Looking for someone?" a man stepped out of the shadows, carrying an unconscious Tohru over his shoulders.

"You basterd! Put her down right now!" Uotani ordered. The man laugh.

"I don't think I can do that," he ran passed her and down the steps.

"Hey!" and Uotani chased after him. They both ran, the man knocking things over so that Uotani had to dodge them. Suddenly, he vanished from sight. Uotani continued running and soon was outside. But there was no sign of Tohru and her capturer. Uotani punched the wall. "Damnit! DAMNIT!"

Akito watched as her men fought the officers. And they were winning. Akito smirked. Who knew her plan would work out so well. Now she just had to wait until the last part took place. Suddenly she saw Takani sneaking away while everyone was fighting. Akito's smirk darkened. 'Time to get rid of a little pest.' she thought and followed him down the ally. "Where are you going Takani-san?" she asked. Takani spun around.

"Akito-san! I was just-" he started but Akito's cold laugh interrupted him.

"You were going to run away weren't you? You little coward,"

"No I-" he started but Akito pulled out a gun and pointed it at Takani.

"You hold no more value for me Takani, goodbye," and she pulled the trigger. Takani's eyes widened and he fell forward, dead. Akito smirked and slid the gun away. "Serves you right, you little rat," she said, kicking his body.

"Akito-sama! Akito-sama!" Akito turned around to face one of her men. "We've done it! Tohru Honda was been kidnapped," Akito smiled coldly.

"Excellent," she followed the man back to where the action was still going. "Men!" she cried. Her men stopped and all looked at her. "We're done here, are true purpose, is over with," the men nodded and they all vanished into the shadows, along with Akito.

Kyo stood in the hallway, breathing heavily Chief at his side. They had finally killed all of the men. "Hopefully Tohru and Uotani got away safely," Kyo said.

"Sohma!" Kyo turned to see Uotani running towards him.

"What's wrong? Where's Tohru?"

"That's what's wrong! Tohru's been captured!"

Another cliff hanger. I swear that I won't take forever, I already know what's basically going to happen in the next chapter so bare with me. And please please review!
