The monstrous form stretched out to its full height as he looked down at the girl now. "There isn't... you're only letting Akito control you..."

"Akito-san is the only one that accepts me!" She growled at him baring her teeth some even looked like they had taken on the form of a cat.

"Akito only wants you to believe he accepts you to keep you away from us!" His arm reached down to grab her quickly. Her eyes widened as she bite down on his hand sinking her teeth into his flesh.

The bite didn't seem to phase him as he lifted her small frame into the air off the ground within his large hand. "Give up the fake memories! You're not a member of the Sohma family and are NOT cursed!" She kept her grip on him now as her teeth sunk in more her nails digging into his flesh. Slowly he turned and began to walk back towards Shigure's home. Her attempts to attack him were useless, the pain not even affecting him. She let go of him now as she attempted to slip away from him. She growled at him once more as she rolled away from his grasp. His hand only closed tighter when he felt her trying to slide out of his grasp. He refused to let her get away this time, he would take her home where she belonged. She whimpered in pain as she struggled against his grasp.

"I won't give up 'til you learn the truth," he hissed as he walked quickly through the trees, holding her within his large hand, several feet above the ground. Her head lowered slowly onto his hand her eyes slowly closed blood could be felt in his hand from the deep cuts on her back from the whip. The trees passed by almost as if they were blurs, his rapid pace towards the home that he'd lived in with her for so long now.

She let out a horrid scream of pain as she tried to wiggle free. "You're killing me!"

"You lie! If I were going to kill you, you'd be dead!" He hissed, glaring down at her, "If you would stop resisting, you wouldn't cause yourself pain!"

"Put me down!" Tears started to roll down her face as she struggled more screaming as loud as she could.

"Not until you're home where you belong," came the deep voice of the monstrous beast that carried her. It seemed as though Kyou's control over his darkness had increased since the last time he'd been that way. She finally stopped struggling against him blood was dripping to the ground from her wounds she had strained too much. Kyou's form moved fast still, the sight of the home coming into view finally. Slowly a poof could be heard a small frail furry cat lay in his grasp. Her eyes were closed her fur was tattered and covered with clomps of blood.

His form stopped when he felt form in his hand seem to vanish, looking down to see that there was a cat there now. Blinking, he stopped and looked down at it. A small whimper escaped her lips her eyes struggled to open. "... Why are you... Doing this to me...?"

The confusion that washed over him caused a shift in his body, sending him back down to the normal human boy with the beads. "Wh-What the hell...?" She landed on her feet weakly trying to move only to fall onto her side. Kyou's form fell back onto his butt, feeling slightly weak from the transformation as he looked at the girl cat. She opened her eyes slowly as she watched him she was weak still, but she still tried to move toward him.

"How is this possible..? There can't be two cats..." He was so confused, his body weak and tired.

She finally made it close to him her head falling onto his leg. "... Please don't hurt me..." He was too confused to even do anything, it shouldn't have been possible. Her eyes closed slowly as she lay silent now her breathing slow. Slowly he lay back and stared up at the sky, confused still and tired.

Yuki walked past him before turning seeing him and the cat. "Kyou-kun you can't just bring strays back with you like this."
