Chapter Twenty-One -

When they arrive back at the house, a painful know had formed in Yuki's stomach. If Hatori was worried, that only made Yuki worry more. What would they do if Akito forbids their relationship, or even decides he hants Yuki or Kyo to live with him.

The rat follows Kyo up to the roof, where they sit in silence.

"I'm really worried." Yuki says finally. "Yeah me too." Kyo responds.

They hear a car door slam, and quickly they climb down the ladder.

Shigure was approaching the house slowly. He looked like a little kid who had just gone through a haunted house.

They quickly usher him inside and Tohru makes him some tea. All four of them sit down, and wait for Shigure to talk.

"That was the scariest thing I have ever done." The dog takes a deep shuddering breath before speaking again. "Akito said, he wants nothing to do with Kyo, and Yuki you must visit him a regular basis. He wouldn't let me talk much about your relationship, but those are his conditions. Kyo your still to be locked up after you graduate, but he doesn't want to see you till then. I guess that's some sort of punishment, because then he said, 'The bet is off.' Whatever that means."

Kyo scoffs in annoyance. This information didn't make much sense to Yuki. What was all this about. A bet, Kyo being locked up, what was going on?

"I don't understand." The rat says.

"I'll explain later. Is that all he said? That our bet is off and he wants nothing to do with me until after graduation? Yuki is to visit him regularly and we can be together, is that it?"

The dog nods. "It all seemed so weird. I really did expect him to say no and that Kyo was to be caged now. I mean he did say that Kyo caused him to kill Haru."

Kyo jumps in shock. "What? That's what he claims? It-It wasn't like that. T-there was an accident, I wasn't even close to Haru."

Shigure shakes his head. "I know, don't worry."

Yuki was extremely upset. During Kyo and Shigure's conversation, he had been thinking about Kyo keeping so much from him.

"Right now, all I care about it Kyo explaining what the hell is going on." Yuki says loudly. Everyone jumps at Yuki's words.

"Okay Yuki. I'll explain what everyone hears understands, but you. I think it's time you know another curse of the cat."

Yeah so there you go. Possibly the last two chapters tommorow. Dunno, cause Friday is our shopping day. Btw, at the end there, Tohru is sitting at the table too. She's just listening and being quiet. I mean, what is there for her to say? Review please.
