An obvious grin on his face. Couldn't be seen, but the way his voice came out, pure satisfaction.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN


Chapter 9: ALL COMING DOWN

'I can't stand here stupid...mom...this is for you...'

"You know…I'm really getting tired of your talk!" Tohru growled, hitting the man in his crouch with her knee. He immediately yelped with pain and let go of her, placing his hands in his crouch.

As soon as she saw the chance, she took it, and started running. Where, she didn't know, but it had to be a good place to hide, because she knew she didn't keep him off for long, his footsteps could be heard getting closer. She started to run over branches and rocks lying on the ground, and occasionally making sharp turns, as Kyo had done with her to see if it would work and buy her some time. After what seemed hours, and actually were, the footsteps had stopped. Tohru collapsed on the nearest tree and stayed trying to recover. She noticed muddy hair stands covering her face, and wiped some off with her hands, panting heavily.

Through this, somehow, the voice of her mother started to ring in her head, Kyoko's voice.

Panting loudly, she tried her best to block the voice out. But it became louder. Memories of before came rushing, and soon, memories of the day of Kyoko's death came in.

"Mom…what…why now…"she said to herself in between pants. She looked down at her hands and saw them covered in blood and mud. Couple of her fingers had large splinters in them, and were bleeding severely. She had almost forgotten about her dear friend Hana, and what had happened before. 'Hana's powers were rising too high for Hana, she wouldnt be able to control it...and...Kyo-kun...Uo-chan...Momiji...haru-san and yuki-kun...where are they...why arent they looking for me...why-' suddenly, a cold voice disrupted her thoughts.

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty…come out come out where ever you are…"

ALL COMING DOWN

"Yo..orange-top...we've been...running...for hours...what now..." gasped the yankee. She stayed close to Kyo, while they both dodged the tree's and rocks in there way.

"DAMNMITT...SHUT UP...NEED FOCUS!" he yelled back and stood still.

"why the hell ...did Momiji run away...where the hell... did he go..fck!" she muttered under her breath.

Both had just reached a long cliff which appeared to have been victim of a land-slide. They looked around for few moments in search of Tohru, Momiji, Yuki, Hana, Hatori, or Haru. But nothing was in seen. Suddenly

CRACK...STEP...STEP...STEP

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty…come out come out where ever you are…"

"WHAT THE FCK... was that...yo...orangey...did'ya he-"

"shh...yeah...I heard...stay quiet...it might be him..." he interrupted. He looked around at the bushes and slowly kneeled down. He turned back to the yankee and signaled her to follow as he crept into the bushes.

"Why exactly are we hidin'...and...who the Fck is...'him' ?" she questioned.

"No big deal...just..uh...some guy out to...destroyMeandTohruIfItsTHELASTTHINGHEDOES" he blurted out trying to end the conversation.

"Nu-uh...you..are goin' ta tell me NOW...what are we hiding from...and-who-is-HIM" she repeated with patience runing thin.

"Crap..why did Momiji have to run off like so..." he muttered under his breath.

"OK THATS IT..I WARNED YA...ARG" she said as she jumped ontop of him and started choking him.

"I HATE WHEN PEOPLE STAL!" she said choking him. Truth was she was panicking. She was stuck with her best friends boy friend, and her other best friend was missing, as were her best friends boyfriends cousins. Just the thought of everything confused the heck out of her.

CRACK...STEP...STEP...STEP

"shh...what's that?" she said to the Kyo's choking voice in the back. She kneeled down low and peaked out of the bushes.

A black caped man walking near by. To make matters worse, he had a long sharp blade in his hands. The blade shined with the ray of sunlight upon. But even through the sunlight, his cape still had its pitch black

"Tohru...baby..where-are-you..." he sung slashing his blade at the bush she and Kyo were hiding at. If not for her kneeling, she would've been striked right in the chest. She looked back to see Kyo kneeling up and frozen solid, the blade was right in front of Kyo chest. A little further and it may have striked him.

'One thing for sure...no way in hell ima let this go...and not take him down...he's obviously after Tohru..he must be him...1,2...' thought Uotani.

She quickly launched herself against his legs. She caught him off guard and as soon as he hit the ground, she gave him a great punch in cheek. She kneeled up and saw Kyo throw himself at him, giving him a large kick and sending him flying into a tree.

A large thunk was heard and the tree bent back, breaking in half. This created a large cloud of smoke in which Kyo and Uotani stood still on the ground the entire time.

"I...think...its over..he gotta be dead now...i mean...come on...who the fck lives threw that...he's gone.." she stated proudly as she stood up and looked back at Kyo.

"Uotani-san...damnmit... WATCH OUT!" kyo yelled.

"what the-"

The caped man stood victoriously over Uotani. His blade stabbed right through her back. The end of the blade could be seen hanging out in her chest.

Blood crept slolwly down her shirt as she looked down at her chest. She reached up her hands and tried to reach the blade, but it was to late. "Sht..." she groaned as she hit the ground.

"AT ANY COST...I'LL GET TO HER...I think I told you that...no"

"You Son OF A..." Kyo said as he went at the caped man high speed. He sucessfully took him down and grabbed him by the neck.

"Hmph...time to see who the hell you are punk . . ." Kyo victoriously said pulling his hand out and taking the mans hood off. At the sight of who it was, Kyo couldn't help but have a mouth drop. He slowly got off him and staggered up leaning against the broken tree.

"I can't believe it...out of all the people...you...how...why would you do such a thing-" he muttered to himself in shock.

NMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMNMN

"oh . . . no . . . " Tohru said to herself full of worry. Luckily she caught her breath just a few minutes ago and had some time to conceal herself with the energy she needed.

His voice could be heard from a distance, coming closer every second. Though her legs were feeling numb, she knew she had to hide elsewhere. She staggered up from her resting place, digging her hand into the tree for support, and started looking feverishly around. Reality was she was trying to find a cave of some sort to hide in and take shelter.

She started to run, the voice of her mother ringing in louder in her head. The sun becoming bright, the weather clearing up immensely to become what appeared perfect. The sunshine hitting Tohru blindly, even though she had covered her eyes with her arms. It was illuminating her.

'Maybe...it's a sign…' she thought. The voice seemed to get louder, as if her mother was actually calling for her, as if she was actually there.

She ran through some bushes, to stop dead in her tracks, pupils grew small at what she saw. Slowly placing her arms down she stared at what stood yards away.

Her mother, dressed in the same outfit she died in, standing in the planes. She was moving her hands, smiling and signaling for her to come. Tohru couldn't believe it, it looked exactly like what she always wanted. But it wasn't, or so she thought.

Soon, her mother's clothes started to turn crimson red of blood, and tears trickled down her cheeks. She placed her hands over her stomach and looked up at Tohru. After what appeared to be happening, she kept a smile.

"Why would you let me die Tohru...I did so much for you...my only child-"

"arggg" Tohru groaned covering her ears in hope of blocking off the voice.

"...At least let mommy hold you…ehh Tohru…come and give mommy a big hug…like...before" she said opening up her arms, and welcoming Tohru in with a smile.

'This is incredibly creepy, someone's gotta be playing with my head...but...it looks like her...but...its...NONO...I gotta think..had mom ever ...like so before...then again...can't waste time...certain someone out to kill me...oh...what's there to lose it's...it's-'

"Mom..its her..." Tohru said putting down her arms down and staring at her muddy outfit and the ground, pupils still small. This couldn't be true, and, HELLO, the guy was chasing her, she shouldn't be here, she should be looking for shelter.

"Ima' hit you where it hurts little one…so give up easy"

BUT...no choice but to run to her mother for shelter.

'This cant be real, mom…is dead…this is not real…but…mom…how I miss her…so much…mom was IT to me…my reason to live and my strength…everything…and…her hugs were my paradise…just...one…hug' She thought as she grew in closer. The weather seemed to change as she grew in closer. The wind moved in faster and faster.

Until she was there, standing right onfront of her mother, looking right into her eyes were when her eyes seemed to change back to normal.

"Tohru-chan…did you know the only place we could ever…" she said her voice drawling off. Kyoko moved in closer for a hug, then stopped waiting for Tohru to do the same. Tohru looked down at the floor, which seemed to be moving, and did the same, until finally, it was a true hug.

"Tohru…only place I can ever meet you again…IS IN HELL WITH ME!" Kyoko whispered sharply into Tohru's ear, digging her fingers into Tohru back. Tohru flinched and for a mere second saw her mothers bloody and mutilated body holding her. Eyes rotting, flesh decaying from her face. A magott was seen crawling out of her eyes. Her body looked as if no blood circulated through it at all, instead, out of it. A bloody bone sticked out from Kyoko's hips and swiftly touched Tohru's hips.
Tohru's eyes widened as she snapped back into reality to find him, the dark figured man, except, instead of hiding in the bushes or in the dark, he stood in front of her in a pitch black cape. A small black hood covering his face. He grabbed tight of Tohru around her waist with his bony hands, and sniffed her hair, after so rubbing his head against hers, enjoying a few deep sniffs. Tohru was his drug, from which he was addicted to and needed more of, ASAP...what would happen if he didn't get her is already obvious.

At first she stood shocked, but later on tried to violently shrug him off, but he wouldn't let go.

Tohru tried to get off and run, but it seemed she couldn't reach the floor.

"Look down babe…"

Tohru did as he said and slightly bowed her head down. She immediately grabbed tight of the mans cape to see that she was dangling off a cliff. At the bottom, sharps rocks could be seen getting smashed by the current.

"How come it is…the only reason you hold onto people…is when your in a situation like this…hmm…?"

Tohru looked dead straight at him, face confused. She looked behind him...but saw... nothing, and this wasn't what she wanted, she wanted to see her hero Kyo come to her rescue, take her home and tell her it was all a dream. To later wake up the next morning believing so.

What Tohru didnt know was that he was noticing everything, and read her face like some sort of book..

"...This isn't a dream...its real...just as your death will be...grr, Im tired of waiting for your love...I'M SICK AND TIRED…DAMNMMIT...LOVE ME NOW !" he screamed, removing his hand from her waist. Just before would fall down to the rocks below, he placed one hand to her neck, holding on tight to her. Waiting for her to run out of breath and die. After an akward silence, Tohru was still breathing. He stared blankly at her and let go of her, luckily she landed on a small strip of land. Tohru couldn't hear or see. Her eyes were smacked shut as she panted for air. A smack of skin was heard, along with a small groan from someone, following a thud on the ground.

Moments passed as she layed on the ground, waiting for someone to come and save her from what seemed to be over.

She slowly opened her eyes to see the tip of a black cloak."Who…are…. you…?" She said in between breaths. She felt her body picked up from the ground and a hand clenched around her neck. She looked up and saw him again. Hope was running low.

Tohru's feet dangling off the cliff, and face turning red, nothing left for her to do except close her eyes shut and kick her feet back and forth, hoping to get him in the crouch again and land on land.

"WHO AM I...?

...Someone who loves you...so much….did you know…for your love…I did a spell…yes…the sacrifice…my body…and now…I'm slowly rotting in the inside…all because of you…and you know whats BEST…I DON'T EVEN GET TO FEEL YOUR HEAT..WILLINGLY BE ON ME...IM ROTTING!" he screamed at her, showing his rage at her. He reached into his cloak and appeared to pull something out.Tohru was to scared to see whatever it would be, so she smaked her eyes shut again. She needed air, it was running out for her.

He then pushed it onto Tohru's face. A cold thick liquid and a spongey object pushing onto her face. She slowly opened her eyes to see the revulting image. The mans gutts in his bare pale hands which held barely any flesh, and all covered in cold thick red blood. The only places on his hands where flesh was attached to was covered in black bruises. His wrist had barely any flesh, and blood crazily rushed down them. He had some bandages on, but they seemed to be ripped off. Three of his finger bones showed. They seemed dry and old, showing that the rotting had started long ago. Only object holding them together were small strands of skin and muscles. He slowly clenched into his gutts and stared at Tohru, waiting for her expression, as his cloak become dark and plain black dripping with thick red blood and his body continued on its decaying.

Some blood now stained on Tohru's face, slowly made its way down her cheeks as she panicked and crazed in her own mind. She swiftly pulled her hands to his and started to get his grip off her. But to no avail, all she got was a quick breath which held her alive for the next few minutes or so she hoped.

He still holded his gutts in his hand, and slightly chuckled at her expression of fear and her futile attempt.

'I need help...but...argg...why must I be so generous...he needs help...he yanked it out...as if...it was almost coming off anyway...this is sickining...the smell of flesh...the rotting...his rotting' Tohru thought to herself as she tried her best to turn away with her hands.

She looked behind him and saw a body lay a few yards away on the ground. She looked at the tree's and saw something dangling off the branches. Some how, a sense of peace sprung through her as her air went low.

'Mom...what is this feeling. . .Is this what dying feels like. . .I-I guess I h-h-have to g-g-go down. . . the same way mom would want me to-t. . .t-to go down in a fight' she felt herself tremble and grow cold. She couldn't give up, the speck of pride she had wouldn't let her.

"TOUGH...LUCK- " Tohru snapped before the feel of rough un-wanting lips pressed up against hers. A rough hand tangled itself around her waist and her neck was free.

'…no way…this is the chance..mom...give me force...'

Tohru caught him off guard and pulled his hood off, revealing who he was...

The dark cloaked man, none other than Tohru's beloved and dear friend Hatori . His hair curled up into a total mess. His eyes wide with anger, and veins popping out of his forehead. Hatori...the one Tohru loved and idlelized as a strong and mature father. She completely respected him and gave him his space. Every week or so after Akito's death, she would go for a visit to his home and have a nice comforting chat over tea. She knew very well that she had helped him with the...'kana' situation. She got him off his feet and helped him realise he was worth something. Never had she realized this would lead to an obsessive love.

He quickly pulled back, his face seemingly surprised, yet a slight smile creeping on his lips. Some of his hair strands in her face covering his jade green eyes. His face showed that he hadn't slept in a while, eyes bagged, lips purple and pale. Tohru quickly panted for air and started to try and shrug him off again. She went on for a while until her brain took over, and used her mouth to say what she had been thinking.

"B-B-B…but…ha-to-ri...san…why…how…youneedhelp...yourotting" Tohru blurted as vomit found its way cralwing up her throat. She tried to get his hands off her but to no avail, she ended covering her mouth with her two hands, trying to prevent the vomit crawling up.

"Because…I love you…so much…if YOUR NOT MINE…YOUR NO ONES!" he screamed. His voice changing back to the same of the supposed dark figured man and his eyes grew wide and changed from soft jade green to crimson red as he let go of Tohru's neck-

--------------------------He he, I'm gonna get you------------------------------------------------

-------------------------I'm gonna get you…------------------------------------------------------

------------------------Got ya!---------------------------------------------------------------------

MEANWHILE

He slowly got up, rubbing his cheek and looked up at Kyo. His playful look rising on his soft pink lips.

"I can't believe it...out of all the people...you...how...why would you do such a thing...then again...what was I to expect...can't you admit you lost. . .you damn rat . ..you lost Tohru...and there's nothing you can do about Yuki..." Kyo muttered to himself in somewhat of a suprise.

From where he stood, he saw the dark caped man's true self.

Who he truely was, Tohru's suspicions were true.

Old...miserable...lonely...and jealous...YUKI!
