Chapter 3: Discovering
Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure were now in the main house and were headed towards Akito's chambers. Even though Kyo wasn't allowed inside he argued like there was no tomorrow and finally got his way. Yuki and Shigure didn't really care for the matter really; they had something else on their minds. The trio finally got to the door, and when they did they heard a faint laugh then a thud. Shigure knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" came the cruel voice.
"Shigure."
"What do you want?"
"I've come with visitors."
The door slid open as Akito stood in front of them glaring at the three. He looked over every face until he came to Kyo's. Kyo's nervousness was evident to Akito, and even though the thought of the cat being in his house disgusted him, he decided to let it slide. Akito wanted to play with them a bit; he thought it might be rather fun to toy with their emtions.
"Come in."
They filed into the room and sat on the floor. Akito lazily pulled up a sleeve of his kimono as it had revealed a pale shoulder. Akito glanced to the corner of the room and smiled.
"Why have you come here?"
"We were looking for someone and thought they might be here." Shigure spoke up.
"Who?" Akito watched their eyes dart to the floor afraid to speak her name. "Do you mean Miss Tohru Honda?"
"Yes." Yuki said.
"Ah, well why didn't you just ask? Really why are you always so tense? She's right over there, in the corner, see?"
Three pairs of eyes widened as they saw a feminine body lying lifeless in the corner curled up into a ball of fear. They hadn't even noticed until now that she was over there. The window above her was letting in rays of moonlight and they shined on her bruised body. Kyo was the first to start toward her when a hand clasped hard on his shoulder. He turned to see Akito smiling his malicious smile as he stopped.
"What did you do to her?" asked Kyo.
"Why nothing. She's just…asleep."
"What do you mean asleep?"
"Well, how to put this, she's a little unconscious at the moment. I think. I don't know actually I haven't checked." Akito grinned as he playfully said the words. "Let's go see shall we?" Akito lifted his hand from the cat's shoulder and put it on his back and slowly pushed Kyo towards the body. "Go on Kyo, see if she's alive. We really need to know." He gave Kyo a harder push and watched him fumble over to the figure.
Kyo knelt down to Tohru's body as the pressure on his back increased. He stopped, looked at Akito who was forming another grin then turned back to Tohru. He put a hand on her shoulder to see if she was breathing but he couldn't tell. He slowly moved his hand up to her neck to feel her pulse. Nothing.
A/N: Gawd, sorry it's short again. I just can't seem to write long chapters. Oh well please R&R!
