A/N: So...I hope you guys aren't too mad at me. Well, sorry for taking so long but I had a few things to take care of, and believe me, a nice long nap. Anyways, you know the drill, I don't own it...so let's get on to the story! Oh, and just something on my deffence, I never ment Ritsu to end up with Tohru, so, I'm very sorry if I led you guys to thinking in that (which I know I did.) I am sorry.
Chapter 10 The Rescue
Kyo dodged a poorly aimed punch from the man on his left as he elbowed the man's nose and with a sickening crack, he fell to the ground. Kyo turned his attention to the man on his right. He did a forward sweep kick which knocked the man to the ground and Kyo put him into a neck hold and was about to snap his neck when Ritsu yelled.
"Kyo you can't kill him! Not in front of Tohru! (Plus this is a "T" rated fic!)"
"Call the cops!"
"I did but they put me on hold!"
"Then save Tohru!" Kyo yelled and jumped on a upcoming man.
"Ok." Ritsu said, more to himself than Kyo. He looked down the hole and quickly jumped down. He landed cat like in front of Tohru. He stood to untie her but was pulled back by the neck. A man with thick arms pulled Ritsu away from Tohru and tighten his hold around his neck. Ritsu pulled the man by the collar of his shirt and threw him over his shoulder. The man fell into another other holding a gun.
Yuki turned and kicked a gang member into the wall. Yuki looked around him and saw eight people lying around him, including the three he took out. He looked up at Ritsu and saw him untying Tohru. "Hurry up, Ritsu!" He called out.
Ritsu nodded and picked up his pace.
Yuki looked at Kyo just in time to see Kyo hit the ground, bleeding from the side of his head. Kyo layed still as a gang member holding a steel pole advanced on him. Yuki ran over to Kyo's aid and knocked the man to the ground. Once he made sure that he was down for good, he turned to Kyo. "Kyo? Are you alright? Kyo!"
Kyo moaned and looked up at Yuki dazed. "Don't...touch...me..." He said and tried to stand up.
"Here, let me help." Yuki put Kyo's arm around his neck and pulled Kyo to his feet. "Ritsu, lets go!"
"Right!" Ritsu finally untied the knot and pulled Tohru to her feet. "Come quickly, Ms. Tohru." He took Tohru by the hand and pulled her as he ran to reach Yuki and Kyo.
Suddenly the sound of a gun shot was heard and Yuki fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
"Sohma-kun!" Tohru cried and as she saw that Yuki had been shot in the shoulder. Tohru ran to him and went to her knees. "Are you alright! Sohma-kun!"
"My...shoulder!" Yuki forced himself to say, and he grabbed it. "It hurts!"
"Don't move." Came a voice from behind.
Ritsu and Tohru turned around and looked at the new comer.
The man behind them was holding a gun (which was pointed at Yuki.) He moved his gun at Ritsu. "Give me the girl or die."
Ritsu held his ground, "Why do you want Ms. Tohru!" He said and he could hear his voice breaking.
"..."The man decided he could revel his plan. "She would make me a good deal in the black market. You don't come across innocent girls like this much. Now, give her to me!"
Ritsu didn't move.
"Give her to me!" He yelled and pulled the trigger.
Yuki gave another cry as a second bullet made contact with his other shoulder.
"Sohma-kun!" Tohru cried. "Please Ritsu-san!"
"Give me the girl or I will kill the two boys and yourself." He pointed his gun at Ritsu.
Ritsu flinched. Ritsu then heard Kyo's voice in his mind. Save Tohru. Do not let her get hurt. Save her or die trying, do you understand? Ritsu breathed in deep and held his ground.
"Fine! Then I'll kill all of you!" The man yelled and pointed his gun at Tohru and pulled the trigger.
Tohru screamed and closed her eyes tight. For a while nothing happened. Slowly, Tohru opened her eyes and gasped. "RITSU!" She screamed as more gunshots were heard.
Ritsu fell to his hands and knees. "Ah..." He moaned. He looked up at Tohru and gave a soft, sad smile.
"Ritsu!" Tohru yelled as tears fell from her eyes.
The man walked over to Ritsu and placed the head of his gun at the base of Ritsu's head. "Tsk, tsk. Look at you now. What have you accomplished? You got yourself killed. Now, I will finish you off and the other two boys and take the girl anyways. Do you have any last words, before I send you to hell?"
Ritsu slowly looked into Tohru's eyes. "I...love you...Ms. Tohru..."
The man laughed and before he knew it Ritsu had got to his feet and plunged a glass form the window into the man's neck. "I'll see you in hell, you basterd!" Ritsu yelled.
The man fell to his knees and sank slowly to the ground, Ritsu followed.
"Ritsu!" Tohru cried and ran to him. She pulled him away form the man and looked into Ritsu's eyes. "Why! Ritsu! Why!"
Ritsu smiled again and touched her face, with a trembling hand. "I'm so...sorry for...everything that I...have done...Ms. Tohru...I love...you. But I want you to be happy...most of all... Please...don't... mourn over...me for...too long...Good...bye...my...sweet...angel..." Ritsu's eyes closed and his hand fell from Thoru's cheek and landed soflty on the ground.
A/N: hides under the computer desk slowly peeks to see if the knives were finished being thrown Ok. Just to let you know, the sorty is not over. There is one last chapter but someone reading this story has found out the ending before it was written, (I won't say her name) so she made me change the ending. So what I'm going to do is put two endings. The original and the one she wanted. So I will try with all of my might to put the up at the same time. Allright? Well, please review...but try not to be too mean. If you want to yell at me, feel free to do it through email, and it's always up on my profile, ok? Thanks.
