Foreword: GOD! SORRRYYYY! This is it, though, the last chapter. I will be taking a BIG break before I put out Obscured Visions. I lost the rest of the PLOT! HOW COULD I DO THAT! feel free to yell at me all you want. Well, anyway, here is the last chapter. R+R OR ELSE YOU WONT EVER GET OBSCURED VISIONS! HAHAHAHAHAH!
Kyo jerked back, fearing a trick. "I have no sister." He tried to break free off Yuki, but the rat would have none of that, and the cat only managed to hurt himself.
"Please, stop. You'll get hurt." Kela reached out, and put a hand on her twin's shoulder. There was no flash of light, no explosion, but Kyo fell to the ground, pulling Yuki along with him. Shigure steadied Kela, who was swaying slightly but not enough to fall. So why was Kyo on the ground?
"Stupid cat! Can't you do anything right-" Yuki stopped when he saw a tear zigzag down Kyo's cheek. "...Kyo...?"
"I...Saw you...For a moment..." The cat whispered, curling up into a ball. "I have a sister. I have a sister." He murmured as he sobbed.
Shigure and Yuki could only watch on in shock as Kela crawled to her brother and embraced him tenderly. But such moments where never meant to last as Bakaris appeared slightly off to the side.
"Well who do we have here?" He whistled, leaning on his sword, "If it isn't Kela. I heard you had gotten out, but Queen Dianna wished for me to watch after your brother there. I guess she had no more need of you."
Shigure and Yuki moved in front of the twins, both in fighting stances. "I don't think so, Bakaris." Shigure growled, only to clutch at his chest in pain.
"Shigure!" Yuki caught the dog as he fell, carefully moving him so that he was sitting against the cave wall where Kyo and Kela were. They were safe there, away from the cliff right outside. "You stay here."
"Yuki...You can't..." The dog grit his teeth, "He'll kill you...!"
"Well, what do you expect me to do, Shigure!" Yuki hissed, under his breath, "There is no one else! Kyo is blind, you are hurt, Im not sure what to believe with this Kela girl...Who else is there!" He grabbed Shigure by the arms and shook him a little, "TELL ME!"
The older Sohma blinked in shock, "Yuki...I..."
The rat smiled wearily, "It's fine, Shigure, just make sure you get that stupid cat back to Miss Honda, alright?" Then, before any one could say anything, he turned and stood in front of Bakaris.
"Bring it." He growled.

Tohru Honda sat with a group of four Sohmas huddled together at Shigure's house. Hatsuharu was there, his black side just barely pulsing under the surface, as was Kagura, her own temper barely controlled as well. Kisa was there, chatting quietly to Hiro, who was reclined in a chair next to her.
This is my guard for the moment. The young girl realized, I guess Hatori and the others thought maybe Haru and Kagura could keep Akito back long enough for them to arrive. Kisa is here to cheer me up and Hiro...He's here for Kisa of course.
However, how long was this going to last? Not everyone had believed her about Akito not being a Sohma, but they all decided they believed her about not being the head of the family. They all said they had felt more kinship with Kyo than with their so called 'god' anyway. That meant something, didn't it?
"Has there been any word from Yuki and Shigure?" She found herself asking, a hopeful tone in her voice. Haru looked over at her, his eyes softening for a moment. "No, but don't worry about it, Tohru. Yuki will bring Kyo back, you just wait." Kagura nodded and even Kisa voiced her opinion.
There was a knock at the door and everyone tensed. Kagura slowly reached out to open the door but it crashed open and a small figure all but fell inside and toward Tohru, who, on instinct, caught it without realizing it. "Wha-" Haru started, but trailed off. Kisa sucked in a breath and hid her face against Hiro, who was looked shocked.
The young girl blinked and looked down to find a rabbit curled in her lap. But it wasn't the fact Momiji was there that shocked them, he was suppose to be with Ritsu after all, it was the fact the whole left side of him was covered with blood.
Black Haru emerged at last and Kagura's eyes narrowed. "Akito." She hissed. They all looked at each other over Momiji Sohma's shivering form and stood. If Akito was loose and able to inflict such damage, they had to find everyone else...Ritsu, Hatori and Ayame, before it was too late.

Kyo raised his head when he heard Yuki. "Bring it." What did that mean? What was going on? Darn Dianna to the abyss for this! He touched his twin lightly and flet rather than saw her look down. "Kyo?" She whispered.
"What's going on?" He asked softly. She told him and he could hardly believe his ears. That darn rat was FIGHTING for HIM! What in the world had happened after he had been captured? Struggling to a sitting position he calmed down and tried to remember the layout of this area from memory.
There was a cliff ahead, he remembered that. It was a hundred foot drop onto the sharp rocks below. Not to mention the blood river that could eat you alive. Kyo stood, shakily, but he stood. Kela blinked and tried to pull him back down, he was blind after all, and it wasn't safe to walk around when one was blind.
"Kyo?" Shigure asked, breathlessly. "What are you-"
He never finished the sentence, for at that exact moment, Bakaris knocked Yuki down and raised his sword up, preparing to impale the rat. Yuki's eyes clenched, it was over, he had to trust in Shigure now.
He supposed death wouldn't hurt too bad.
Nothing happened. Opening his eyes he saw a person grappling with Bakaris. Figuring it was Shigure or even Kela he opened his mouth to snap at them but then realized it wasn't the dog or the girl. It was Kyo. Stunned, Yuki watched as the cat pushed Bakaris to the edge, then, with a tremendous push, they both toppled over the cliff.
"KYO!" The rat dived for the edge and managed to catch a hold of the cat's black shirt. There was a ripping sound and then both the cat and the warrior vanished, leaving Yuki staring over the edge, holding a small shred of black cloth.
He had failed, he had failed. HE HAD FAILED! A scream ripped out of the rat's mouth and he collapsed, sobbing. "YOU IDIOT! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME! YOU STUPID, STUPID...CAT!"
Shigure held against his chest a wailing Kela who had thrown herself at him after her brother's fall. He couldn't believe how she must be feeling. She had just met her brother, then she had lost him, within minutes. That was something no one should have to face. Then there was Yuki...He had just started to really notice Kyo as a person, they had just gotten to reach an understanding, then, in a selfish act of sacrifice, Kyo had...
"Yuki..." The dog whispered, "We have to...go home...We have to tell...Tohru..." A tear trickled down his cheek, he was gone, really gone. After all they had done, after everything... "Yuki?"
The rat got to his feet and stumbled back to them, his eyes haunted. Leaning down he helped Shigure to his feet then started to lead them out, going around so they didn't have to see the gruesome display at the bottom of the cliff. No one would be able to handle that. No, the cat's body was going to have
to stay there. Tohru was going to be devastated, but they couldn't do anything else.
They had failed, Yuki had broken his promise, Kyo was dead. It was over.
The trio headed home.
