Last Time on A Secret Among Secrets...

Tohru just stared at hatori, a little shocked at the sudden flight lesson. "oh yeah, kyo." She said in her head. For some strange reason she couldn't feel any pain physically. Emotionaly however, her heart was on the verge of breaking,for when she looked up, she saw Kyo laying on the floor, a dagger sticking out of his back…..

And now on with the story...

Chapter 2 consequences

Tohru stared at kyo who hadn't moved an inch within the last five minutes."k…..k….kyo? kyo are you ok??? Kyo…" she said as she slowly crawled off hatori towards the injured feline.

Tohru looked up only to see yuki with a dagger sticking out of his stomache. "yuki…" she said softly. He fell over, and stared at tohru. She couldn't take it anymore. "I can't keep up this act. I'm done, after everything I've done it wasn't enough. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!" she yelled.

Tohru stood up and began to walk over to akito. Hatori, ayame, shigure, kisa and momiji started to yell at her "stay away from him tohru!" hatori and shigure trying to grab her and keep her away but she shook them off. her mind was set towards akito and nothing was going to stop her.

She had reached akito and slapped him on the face. Akito stared at her, shock written all over his face as he raised a hand to his stinging cheek. "why you little……" SLAP! She hit him again catching him off guard. "I hate you!" she screamed over and over again as she hit him.

Hatori looked on "what has come over her?" he said to him self as shigure got up and left the room. Hatori relized that if he didn't help kyo and yuki and kyo it could be fatal. He quickly ran over to yuki and brought him over to kyo.

Tohru continued to hit akito with everything she had. "you low-life, backstabbing (no pun intended. ") , stupid ignorant bastrd!" she yelled as she began to scratch and hit him. "why can't you let people be happy for once?" she yelled at him punching him dead smack dab in the center of his face.

She stopped and looked at him, tears streaming down her face. "you couldn't let anyone have at least a little bit of happiness could you? Haru and rin can't be together. Have you seen what rin is like now? And what about hatori? He helps you so much and you can't even cut him a little slack? Couldn't you see how happy he was with kana?" she yelled as she hit him again.

Hatori stopped what he was doing and almost hurt kyo really badly. (although I don't know what hurts more then being stabbed.) "what the???" he said to himself as he turned to she tohru staring at akito with so much hatred, he wasn't even sure this was the same sweet girl whom he had come to love. "wait did I just think what I think I thought?" he said to himself again when he heard another slap and turned to see tohru had taken a stance in front of akito.

Tohru wipped away her tears as fresh ones fell from her eyes. "out of all those cursed, hatori deserves to have at least a little happiness. He has to deal slap with slap you slap every slap fucking day!"(Ooo! tohru said a wordy derd!!) she yelled once more hitting him again and again. Akito looked at her, his left eye puffy, and blood slowly streaming from his nose.

Hatori just stared at tohru as she spilled her feelings out to a guy she didn't know about a situation she didn't understand. "t….tohru…" he barely managed to spill out before tears began to run from his eyes.

Something about this girl reminded him of kana.

Tohru just stood there and stared at akito before she finally broke down. She dropped to the ground and bawled her eyes out "akito you….." was all she could say, she knew what she wanted to say but she was to emotional to say it.

Akito just stared at her, shocked that someone like her would stand up to him. He stood up and looked at her, "why do you care about them so much? Why does this curse affect you so much?" he said.

Tohru looked up "do you know what it feels like to love someone and never be able to hold them, or be held by them?" she said between sniffles. She looked down again, tears still streaming down her face.

"who is the one you love?" akito asked, sitting next to her. Tohru looked up at akito "why would you care?" she snapped "it's not like it would make any differnce." She said sadly, her tears finally stopping.

Akito looked at her closely "tell me….please?" he said softly. Tohru's heart began to pound, she had never known akito to be…. Caring. "you have to promise me that you won't hurt him." She said looking deeply into akito's eyes. Akito nodded "fine I promise I will not hurt this person." He said…..

TO BE CONTINUED…….

Authors note: so what do you think? Again I left it in a cliff hanger but hey…. I think that it works better this way. Who do you think tohru likes? Kyo or yuki??? maybe even hatori??? no one knows...by the by, a character death will occur but not until the 4th or 5th chapter. Find out in the next episode of a secret among secrets.

By the by… you know the drill, 3 reviews, maybe even more.. thank you.
