A few days had passed since she had gone to Akito's to talk about the curse. She seemed to distant herself a lot of more then usual because of it. The snow crunched beneath her shoes as she walked up placing her hands on the bars of the cage. She had been there earlier with Hatori, but she couldn't sleep she felt a little paranoid tonight, she felt like something bad was going to happen to Kyou so she left Hatori without saying a word leaving him to sleep. Hatori's form shifted onto its side, arms bunching up some of the blanket that was loose now and drawing it against himself as if to hold someone but only having the blanket to hold.
"Kyou-kun are you still up?" She was trying to unlock the cage door now, she had seen Hatori do it several times, but she was having trouble.
Kyou slowly walked over to the cage door and peered out of the bars at her, "What are you doing here... it's too late into the morning, you don't need to be here or you might be seen..."
"... I want to see you though..." She looked up threw the bars now her eyes filled with sadness.
"It's not safe..." he said softly as he looked down at her, worried about her.
She reached up threw the bars now for his hand. "... I know, but I didn't see anyone on my way here."
His hand reached out slowly to take her's within it, his eyes closing a bit. "Where is Hatori..?"
"He's asleep I had to wait till he was asleep to come see you I didn't want him to stop me." She smiled faintly.
"He would only stop you because he knows it's not safe... especially not for you to come alone Tohru..." he said as he looked down at her still, worry about her in his eyes still.
She closed her eyes halfway. "... I know, but..." She lowered her head against the door holding his hand still.
He slowly glanced down at the lock, "I don't know how to open it..."
"... I've seen him, but I don't know what he does..." She spoke sadly before her hand was pulled violently from his as a thump could be heard against the door.
Kyou blinked at the thump and stood up higher to look down, "Tohru?"
"You little bitch I warned you not to come anywhere near the cat."
Kyo blinked and tried to look further down, "Who's there?"
"Oh I've neglected you haven't I cat, but right now this little girl caught my attention." He smirked the girl shaking badly as his hand covered her mouth. She looked to the young God as she put up a struggle against him. "... You don't even remember who your God is cat?"
"Let her go you bastard!" Kyou growled and tried to reach through the cage bars to attack the other man. She stepped quickly on the God's foot causing him to let her go.
Akito grabbed her once more as she tried to escape and pulled her back against the door of the cage. let out a weak cry as she slammed against the door. Her eyes focused on the god's. "Let me go!"
"Why are you here," he growled, glaring into her eyes.
"I just wanted to see Kyou-kun!" She screamed toward the god as she tried to pull away.
You know you're not supposed to be here!"
"I wanted to check on him he's my friend..."
"You're not supposed to be here, the cat is where he belongs, he's not meant to have visitors, and you know that!"
"Your not treating him right if you keep this up he'll get sick!"
"What do I care, as long as he doesn't die..." he said as he pushed her against the wall still.
She reached up grabbing him by the hair trying to get free of his grasp. "Let me go now!" He returned the favor, grabbing a hand full of her hair and slinging her to the ground. She fell hard to the ground letting out a faint cry.
Kyou's hands darted between the bars of the cage trying to grab at the throat of Akito but being unable to reach him. "Leave her alone!" She grabbed hold of Akito's feet trying to drag him to the ground with her now.
Akito's leg jerked away, tugging her towards him slightly only to push his knee into her chest and knock her back to the ground, his foot pressing into her chest to hold her there. "You're not welcome here girl, you shouldn't even be allowed to know of this place or our family." She let out a silent cry the force on her chest being to great as she reached up grabbing hold of his kimono angry in her eyes.
"You are not welcome here!" Again he pushed against her chest.
Her eyes shut tightly as tears streamed down her face. "... At least they love me..."
"Love, bah," he said as he grew his foot from her chest, lightly kicking her in the side. She rolled hitting the side of the cage again struggling to stand up using the wall.
"Leave," he said as he turned to walk away, tucking his hands into his kimono. "You can be thankful cat, she saved you from a beating today..." She stayed behind now beside the cage not leaving yet scared that Akito would try something. Her breathing had changed as well she was struggling for air.
Kyou reached through the cage bars, trying to reach her. "Tohru... I'm sorry, I told you it wasn't safe, why didn't you leave..?"
She looked back to him smiling weakly. "... Your safe..." She slowly slipped falling down amongst the snow.
"Tohru! Tohru! Wake up! Hatori!" His arms reached through the bars as far as he could, trying to reach her, though he knew it was impossible. She lay motionless now her body shivering from the cold as snow began to gently fall around. Kyou reached for the lock, trying to grasp it and break it, calling out to Tohru and Hatori as loudly as he could. The other people that were near the cage never even stopping to glance.
