Yes Juju, I did say this update is weak. Its really a bridge between two different important moments, so its not as good as the others have been.

Akito left the room, closing the door behind him. He turned to Hatori, his eyes carved from stone-splitting ice. "Where is that cat?" Hatori opened his mouth to reply, but focused on something past Akito's head. His eyes widened. Akito whirled, to see Shigure staggering towards him. Blood flowed from his eye, under his hands. Akito cried out, rushing to his side, twining an arm about his waist, touching his face, cooing and shushing and soothing. Slowly, Shigure lowered his blood-covered hands. Akito gasped. His right eye was tarnished, bleeding, and he evidently couldn't see. Hatori ran forward as Shigure collapsed. Catching him, he dragged him into a nearby room and laid him on the futon. Akito sat there, holding the dog's hand all the while as Hatori dressed the wound. When the doctor was finished, Akito placed a soft kiss on Shigure's lips. "Who did this too you?" The dog opened his good eye, meeting Akito's desperate gaze.
"Kyo." He whispered. "It was Kyo."

Yuki lay still as he heard Akito cry out at something in the hall. He listened…and listened…until he heard a door shut. Quick as a flash he was out of bed and tugging fresh clothes on, ignoring the pain in his head as he cleaned the dried blood out of his smooth silver bangs. Moving silently as a thief, he slipped out of his room to go find Kyo. He needed to see the neko, to find him and talk to him- about anything. Anything to escape for a while. He slipped out onto the dark street, not knowing where he was heading, when an arm wrapped round his waist and a hand covered his mouth he was dragged into a deep-shadowed alleyway. When he was released, he whirled round to face his captor. He could see nothing through the dark. A lighter sparked on, throwing a face into light. Yuki gasped.
