"No…. I'm not going anywhere..." He said softly as he slowly ran his hand over her back.
She let out a soft purr smiling weakly. "... Us cats have to stay together..."
He nodded softly and slowly ran a hand over her back sadly. She closed her eyes slowly as a poof was heard her form exposed now she had passed out now the bandages lay in tatters from her changing back into a human the scars were visible now some were deep. Kyou's hand was still on her back until he realized what had happened, his eyes going wide. She let out a weak cry now air had hit her open wounds leaving her out in the open.
Quickly he pulled his hand away and laid a blanket over her back to cover her body from his eyes. "I-I... sorry..."
She opened her eyes slowly as she looked to him something had changed in her she wasn't the same any more. Her head tilted to the side trying to keep her focus on him her hair fell behind her revealing something new she had a piercing the loop was a mix of the colors on his bracelet. "... Why does it hurt so much..."
"I don't know why..." He said softly as he looked at the earring and closed his eyes a bit. "I just don't know..." Tears started to roll down her face as she looked to him still.
His hand reached out slowly and cupped over her cheek, his thumb lightly brushing under her eye, "Now... none of that..."
"... I'm sorry, but it hurts so bad Kyou-kun..." She spoke sadly.
"I know," he said softly, still brushing his thumb under her eye, his hand on her cheek still.
"... Why do the cats suffer Kyou-kun... I don't understand we were the ones left out of the banquet... Its the damn rats fault..." She placed her hand on his gently.
"I don't know Tohru, but you're right, it is that damn rat's fault..." He smirked slightly as he heard her say that.
She closed her eyes slowly the rat coming in quickly grabbing clothes from the dresser tossing them to the cat. "Get her dressed quickly." He seemed frantic now as he grabbed her bag putting more clothing inside.
Kyou's head turned to see what Yuki was doing, handing the clothes that were thrown at him to the girl. "What the hell do you think you're doing rat?"
She sat up weakly now starting to dress as quickly as she could. "... Akito-san's coming I don't want him finding her and killing her."
"Like I'm really gonna let that happen!" Kyou stood quickly and walked out the door towards the front door. Brushing past Shigure as he headed out to meet Akito before he could get into the house, he would wait for the boy, and teach him a lesson, that was how he felt.
She wondered downstairs as she looked to him sadly Yuki standing beside her with a packed bag. "... You said you wouldn't leave me..."
"I'm not leaving you... I'm protecting you... don't worry, I'll catch up to you, just as soon as I get rid of him..." Looking back at her, he smiled a bit and nodded his head.
She stepped forward reaching for his hand lacing her fingers with his she lowered her head now.
His head slowly turned and looked at her, tilting slightly. "What're you doing..?"
"Staying with you..." She spoke softly now as she held his hand tighter.
"You have to get out of here, it'll be harder for me to protect you if he can get his hands on you..." he whispered, looking into her eyes still.
"I'm not afraid to die Kyou-kun I've told you that..." She looked to him sadly now.
Quickly he tugged on her hand and turned going back through the house and towards the back door. "Come on..."
She followed behind him along with Yuki who carried her belongings. "I don't know how long Shigure-san can hold them off."
"Stay here by the back door... please? You'll be able to see me... just... don't get too close." He pleaded with her, his eyes locked on her's. She shook her head moving close to him hugging him now. The embrace not causing him to transform because of her state.
"Please Tohru... just, stay behind me... knowing your safe will make things easier for me..." His head fell slightly as he placed his hands on her's. She wouldn't let him go now she was scared now of losing him. She held tightly to his shirt now starting to shake for fear of losing him.
He held one of her hands a bit and kept his head down, "Please Tohru... you have to stay away from him, and I can't just leave Shigure alone..."
"... Cat just run with her I can stay behind with Shigure..." Yuki spoke up now a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"Damn it rat... don't you dare get your ass beat, if anyone is going to beat you, it's going to be me!" Kyou looked away as he took Tohru's hand, "Cant' believe I'm running..." She held his hand tightly now as she followed behind him Yuki heading into the house. She tried her best to keep up with him now almost tripping a few times. Their pace was quick, but finally slowing down after they'd covered a good bit of distance. He looked back at her as he slowed down, making sure she was ok. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him. It was evident everything about her had changed she was scared and insecure about others the only one she was able to trust was Kyou. His arms wrapped lightly around her waist and hugged her back to make her feel a little more at ease.
"... Where will we go now Kyou-kun?"
"I don't know... we have to wait for Yuki and Shigure...," he said softly as he held her still, looking down at her.
She nodded sadly. "... Can we sit down...? I'm having trouble standing..." He nodded softly as he slowly lead her over to a tree to let her sit down and lean back against it. She sat back now closing her eyes as she placed her head on her knees. Slowly he kneeled down beside her and looked into her eyes. She looked up to him sadly as she reached out placing her hand on his cheek.
"You ok..?" He tilted his head just a bit and reached up, placing his hand on her own.
She nodded lightly as she closed her eyes halfway. "... Have I become a burden...?"
His head shook quickly, his hand still resting on her's, holding it softly against his cheek. "No, you haven't." She nodded lightly as she reached up leaning into him now kissing him softly. He blushed slightly when he felt her lips against his own, his eyes closing very slowly. She kept the kiss still her eyes fully closed. Slowly his arms moved and folded around her, his eyes closing as their lips pressed closer. She broke the kiss slowly as she opened her eyes hoping to catch his gaze. His eyes as well opened upon the breaking of the kiss, his cheeks flushing very slightly. She blushed a dark red before her attention turned to a rustle in the brush. His head jerked to look at where the sound was coming from as well.
Yuki walked out from the brush still carrying her bag. "... You can't come back to the house..."
Kyou blinked, "Why not," he asked, his head tilting as he looked down, holding the girl still.
"Akito-san will try at nothing to hurt her."
He sighed softly, looking down at her, "Where else should I go then?"
"You can always go into the mountains with her I can always bring you things that you need for her."
He nodded softly, "I'm sure the master would give us a safe haven..." He looked down at her and smiled a bit.
Yuki nodded handing over Tohru's things. "... I will come the following week to see her."
Kyou nodded once more and smiled a bit, "Come... we should get going... it's a long walk." She took his hand once more following behind him like a lost child.
