"Hiro-chan! Hiro-chan where are you? Hiro-chan!" Kisa shouted as she went down the gloomy hallway. As she shouted the name of the cousin she really felt warm to, she also heard two more voices that she recognized in a second.

"Kisa! Kisa, help us!" A voice rang from a barred up door with a large chest in front of the door. Kisa quickly ran to the door but when she tried to move the chest, it was too heavy to budge.

"Is that you, Momiji?" She asked, trying to let her voice through the hard door.

"Kisa! It's us!" Kagura shouted back. Kisa tried her best to open the door but because the large chest was blocking the lock of the door, her efforts were in vain.

"The keyhole is blocked by a large chest! I can't open it!" Kisa responded. Momiji then realized why Hiro didn't bother opening the door; he already knew it would have been useless.

"Kisa! Don't open the door!" Momiji shouted, "you have to get out of here or you might end up like us or worse!" Kisa stopped pushing the chest and stared at the door with her large tired eyes. But when she tried to run away, Akito was back along with the driver holding onto Kana's unconscious body.

"I thought you took care of everyone of the meddlers, driver." Akito said as he sharply stared into Kisa's eyes. Kisa tried to ram through Akito, hoping that she would turn into a tiger and run away but to her surprise, she just fell back. When she looked at herself, she was still human. All Akito could do after that was snicker that followed with an evil laugh.

"Ha! Did you obviously think that I would let you escape like that? Have you forgotten that I'm the Kami-sama of all of you?" He shouted at Kisa. Momiji and Kagura shivered as they heard Akito. Kisa shivered on the spot while Akito grabbed her by the hair.

"I know there was one more of you that was here. Tell me where he is!" Kisa's eyes started to let out thin lines of tears.

"Now, you brat. Tell me who came here before you and tell me where that traitor is!" Akito shouted. Kisa's tears slowly stopped, wiping the smirk off of Akito off his face for a moment.

"I can't cry… I can't… not now and not in front of you…" Kisa quietly said to Akito. Akito's blank face turned to an angered look as he threw her onto a wall, harder than before.

"Lock her in with those two and make sure she has a really rough time there!" Akito shouted as the driver put Kana down and grabbed Kisa by the arms. Kana started to open her eyes just enough to see Kisa being thrown in the dark room while Akito started to laugh.

"You all are fools! I can't believe you all are trying to get away from my grasp! It's because of that attitude that you have that will make it harder for you to be here." Akito said as his driver started to drag Kana away to Akito's chamber.

"Tohru-kun! Where is Tori-san?" Ayame asked as he caught up with Tohru in the middle of a group of houses. Tohru turned around with a tearful face as she said.

"Ayame-san… I can't remember what just happened…" Ayame's eyes turned from normal to shock.

"Tori-san, why did you even stoop so low to even erase her memories of this? Ayame shouted in the air as he embraced Tohru. Ayame then turned into a snake and went on her head.

"Tohru-kun! I'm going to make sure he doesn't do that to you again! Now tell me, where do you think he went before he erased your memories of this?" He asked in a more determined voice. That's when Tohru remembered the paper that Kana gave her with her address. Tohru quickly fumbled through her pockets as she said.

"I know I put it somewhere… Kana-san gave it to me and I bet that's where he is." Tohru took the paper out and ran as fast as she could to Kana's house.

"Tohru-kun! Slow down!" Ayame shouted from her head. Tohru, however, couldn't hear Ayame because she was too concentrated on getting to Hatori as fast as she could. Ayame couldn't hang on and he was flying away from Tohru's head. When Tohru finally stopped she saw the snake flying away with the strong winter wind.

"Take this charm, Tohru-kun!" Ayame shouted as a small snake charm fell in her hands. "With this, you won't get affected by Tori-san's memory spell!" Tohru thanked Ayame and then ran away to find Hatori. Ayame was still flying with the wind as he fell on a random house and transformed back into his human form.

When Tohru reached Kana's house, she saw Hatori being grabbed by his collars by a man.

"Where is my darling Kana?" He kept shouting at Hatori while Hatori tried to release himself from the grasp. Tohru ran quickly to help Hatori but was pushed away by the man's elbow.

"Please stop! You're hurting him!" Tohru pleaded.

"This man took my darling Kana! I know he did! You had a secret love and that was Kana, wasn't it?" The man shouted at Hatori. " Is that why you kidnapped her, you bastard?"

"I tried to settle this with words but because you're too deaf to my words, I have no choice but to use force." Hatori said as he kicked the man in the stomach as he passed out.

"Hatori-san… I never knew you could do that…" Tohru said as she came to see if he's all right.

"I kind of took lessons from Kazuma while Kyou was still a little kid. I didn't like it because it was worthless hurting people like that, at least I thought of it like that until now," Hatori replied, "But how did you come here?"

"You may have erased my memories about this location but that doesn't mean that I can't find my way here. Kana-san gave me directions to this place and I managed to find it!" Tohru said to Hatori, "Now let's go and save Kana-san together! Okay?" Hatori smiled as if he was amused by Tohru's actions.

"All right then, why don't we go find Akito and put an end to all this." Hatori said while both of them ran together to the Sohma compound. But on the way, Tohru started to ask.

"Will it be okay for him to be unconscious like that?" Hatori smiled as he replied.

"He will as long as he stays that way when we come back. I only kicked him hard enough to pass him out. He'll be all right."

"Akito-san…" Kana silently said while she was kneeling on her legs on a cushion right in front of Akito.

"What seems to be the problem now, Kana-san?" Akito asked as he came inside, putting his hand onto Kana's cheek.

"Please release that girl… she didn't do any harm from what I have seen… and…" But when she was about to say anything anymore, Akito slapped her as she fell backwards onto the floor.

"Didn't do any harm? Is that what you're going to say to me about yourself too?" Akito asked in his sadistic voice, "You're another thorn on my back just like that girl!" Kana lifted herself only to be kicked in the chest by Akito.

"Hatori really did a good job of erasing your memories but he did it really nicely… because of you there is more hassle going on between me and Hatori!" Akito shouted. Kana picked herself up as she knelt on her knees.

"I don't know what you mean… what do you mean by…?"

"The exact same words! You're interfering with everything from the day you and Hatori met!" Akito shouted at Kana, "I loved Hatori as much as I wanted to live! But because of everyone… because of you, that wench and the rest of the zodiacs… didn't do any harm you say? She and all those idiots interfered in everything I wanted to be… everything I wanted to do! Because of them and this curse, I must die!" Kana put her hands to her mouths as tears fell from her eyes.

"And you… you're…"

"Akito!" Hatori shouted at him as they came in.

"Hatori-san…!" Kana thought as she turned around.

"Akito! Stop this madness! Don't hurt Kana anymore!" Hatori shouted at Akito who was chuckling like a maniac.

"Did you obviously think that I would just let go of her like that?" Akito asked as he reached for a vase, "Do you know how many years I have been living only to be hurt by all of you?" Akito threw the large vase at Hatori as it hit his left eye once more. When Kana saw this, all her suppressed memories started to flood back to her. Tohru quickly ran to Kana as she tried to calm her down. Kana started to scream and scream while holding her head in fear. Akito went towards Hatori as his kimono started to fall a bit.

"Hatori. You were always a great one, smart and kind… but you cross the line the day you wanted that wench to be your wife instead of me…" Akito said with an evil smile.

"But Akito-san… aren't you a man? How could you want Hatori-san like that?" Tohru asked. Akito turned around slowly as his kimono fell a little more, just enough to show something that would shock those who didn't know about it. Tohru put her hands to her mouth as she was paralyzed from what happened.

"Yes! As the truth lies in front of you…! I'm a woman!" Akito shouted, "and I won't settle down any longer! Now that you all know my secret!"

- I finally finished chapter five and I really appreciate it if I can get any comments on this chapter too. I know I rushed this one and I didn't read the volume about Akito's secret about being a woman so I really am sorry if this didn't turn out right. Anyways, I already knew about Akito's secret but because I didn't read the manga, this might be a really awkward way of putting it … but anyways, that's all for now and I'll try not to rush it this time!
