Chapter three
Caught between an rock and a head case
Well I don't own fruits basket.
The cab made its way to the Sohma estate and the breaks squeaked as the cab came to a halt. "You sure you're alright here lady?" The cabby asked as Vixenly got out of the car. "I'll be just fine." She said as she gave the guy a 2000 yen and thanked him. "Hope this is the place." She said as she started to shift. Vix smelled the air then and caught a whiff of Kyo's sent on the wind. "Good he's here." She said as she then jumped over the wall. Vix landed in pain as she landed on her bad leg. The fox limped as she ran towards Kyos sent.
Akito looked at the two and started forward. "I will never allow this vile thing to happen." He said as he went toward Tohru and slapped her in the face. "You've tried to steal every one of them from me." He said as she fell to the dirt from the slap. "Leave her alone." Kyo said as he moved to block Akito. "And you." Akito turned around and stared at the cat. "You can never be happy, not so long as I live." He then raised his hand to hit Kyo. "Go ahead and try it. Just leave her alone." Kyo said as he waited for the blow. It never came as something burst from the bushes.
She was out of breath as she came onto the three. "Kyo. I found you." Vix said as she limped to the trio. "What are you doing here leave." Akito said; the fury showed in his voice at the interruption. Vixinlys temper broke then and she grabbed the spoiled brat by his shirt and stared. "You and what army you little shit?" She said in response, yet she continued before Akito could talk back. "After what I just went through I oughta quarter your miserable carcass and use it as escape bait." She flinched in pain as Akito kicked her injured leg. She released the boy and turned to Kyo. "Get what you can. We have to run. It's coming." Kyo looked at her puzzled. "What's coming?" He asked as the three of them went into Kyos house. "I don't know but if it's after me then it'll most likely be after you later. We gotta run now before it tracks me down." Akito stormed in front of the trio then. "You're not going anywhere cat. I forbid it." He said snarling at all of them. At that time all hell broke loose as the roof caved in.
"Ah shit." Vixenly said as the thing stood in front of her looking at her and the others through the debris. It was bigger than before as the hand smashed trough the blocked path. "Run. Now!" Vixenly yelled as she grabbed both Tohru and Akito and ran like a bat outta hell. Kyo and she ran out the door then as the house caved in on the monster. "We're getting out of here and now." Vix yelled as the came to where Hatori's parked car was; luckily the door was unlocked. "Come on baby start, start." Vix said as she took out a small folding knife and jammed it into ignition. The car roared to life as the thing exploded from the rubble. "Floor it!" Kyo yelled as Vixenly rammed the front gates. The vehicle slammed onto the streets then as Vixenly pushed the car even more. "Outta the way grandma!" They passed cars as the thing started to run after them. "Get my cell phone. It's in my rear pocket." Vix said as she turned a corner. "Call the one marked Rick." Kyo grabbed the phone as Akito spoke. "You've ruined me!" He said in his now screechy voice.
"Shut up and put your belt on." Vix said as they turned again passing a sign marked airport. "Rick its Vix. No time to chat; just get your bird ready. We're coming in hot and dangerous." A mans voice spoke from the phone then. "Ok what the hell'd you do now? Piss of the yakuza again? Didn't they say they'd cut your fingers off if you entered their territory?" Vix spoke quickly then. "No It's that I'm being chased by a ing monster now get your bird ready." She said as she turned another curve. "A what? What ever this job is you better pay me this time or I'll throw you out when we're in the air." Rick said as the car went on two wheels. "Fine. But get that plane ready." Rick spoke one final time. "Roger wilco."
