A/N: Okay, so, Kyo is back and Kazuma is furious. Shigure declares that Kyo must now go to see Akito. And that's the story thus far.

Hi, people! So, the novel is going well. Somewhat. Anyways, I was able to write a few things to publish, so far two chapters for this story, a songfic (writer's block ), and a chapter for each of my InuYasha shortfics. Um, so, I'm really trying to keep up with this while I work on my own stuff. Now, if I can just settle down enough to type out a much longer InuYasha that I've already finished writing longhand, I might finally be able to stop having all those nagging little thoughts in the back of my head, making me feel so damn guilty all the time.

Anyways, enjoy this next chapter!!!!!!

Chapter Twelve: Confession to God, Reprise

Kyo scowled. He really didn't want to do this.

The previous night, he had come home, back to Shigure's house. It had been late, but he just felt that he couldn't wait to be able to see Tohru again. When he had climbed into Tohru's room through her window, Kyo had hear her crying, and so crawled into bed with her. But then she had turned over to face him…

Now Kyo had to go to Akito. And refusing to do so just wasn't going to help him at all.

Kazuma had knocked him down twice already, once when Kazuma had found out that Tohru was carrying, and again when Kyo tried to get up afterwards. Now Kyo was just waiting for Kazuma to hit him down again.

Shigure rapped on his door.

"Kyo! Hurry up!" he shouted through the door.

"I am!" Kyo yelled. "Stop yelling at me, Dog!"

"And put on a tie!"

"I don't own a tie!"

"Wear the white one from your school uniform!"

"Okay, okay! Stop yelling!" Kyo shouted. "Damn dog," he muttered, before wrenching open the door to his closet and grabbing his school uniform. Staring at it in distaste, he jerked the tie from around it's black collar and turned back towards his bed; the black suit that Kazuma had bought him months ago lay on the blankets.

Kyo sighed and started to change. Just as he was pulling on the jacket, someone pounded on his door.

"Kyo! Kyo, hurry up!" Kazuma yelled.

"I am!"

Kazuma slid the shoji open with a loud bang.

"Put on your jacket and let's go!" he said with a scowl. "You can put on your tie in the car!"

"Car?" Kyo scowled. "You don't have a car."

"Well Hatori does."

"Hatori is here?!?" Kyo yelled. "Why the Hell is—"

"Because he just came to give Tohru another checkup, now come on!"

Kyo scowled at Kazuma, which didn't go over very well; the martial arts master began to yell again.

"With all of your training, Kyo, you should have learned to control yourself!" he shouted. "You should have learned to be more patient! You've been learning for thirteen years, and you still haven't even managed to control your anger properly!"

"That's not true!"

"Don't lie to me, Kyo!" Kazuma said angrily. "You're no better at controlling your temper than you were a year ago!"

"Shut up!"

"You see? There, right there. You yelled at everyone when you're angry. I can see why you're yelling at me right now, and at Shigure, but there's no need to raise your voice to anyone right now, especially with Tohru trying to take a nap!"
"You and that damn Dog are the ones who started yelling! And I do not yell at everyone!"

"Oh? And just who do you not yell at?"

"I don't yell at Tohru!"

"That's not saying much, you haven't said a single word to her since getting back!"

"Yes I have!"

"When?"

"Last night!"

"Before or after you found out she was pregnant?"

"Shut up!"

"I see. So, as soon as you figured out that she is the mother of your unborn child, you just stopped talking to her, is that it?"
"No!"

"I'm having a very hard time believing that, Kyo, especially as you haven't even so much as glanced in her direction at all today."

"I told you, I talked to her last night in bed!"

"In bed, huh?" Kazuma was starting to look angry again. "So, you forced yourself on her again?"

"I never forced myself on her!" Kyo yelled. "I already told you that!!!"

"So you aren't denying that you slept with her again last night?"

"I DID sleep with her last night! Argh!!!" Kyo groaned in frustration as he realized what he had just said. "I mean, I slept in her bed with her, I didn't have sex with her!"

"Then why were you in her bed?"

"Because I climbed in through her window! I wanted to see her!"

"And what did you do when you found out about the baby?"

"I don't know!"

"You don't know? How could you not know?"

"She was crying, okay?"

"You made her cry?"

"NO! She was crying when I came in!"

"So what did you do about it?" Kazuma asked.

"I asked her what was wrong."

"And?"

"And what? She was crying too hard to answer!"

"So what did you do then?"

"I kissed her, okay?" Kyo flushed red. "I kissed her."

"And then she told you about the baby?"

"No."

"No? Then how did you find out?"

"She rolled over and her stomach bumped against mine."

"And what did you do then?"

"Um…" Kyo blushed harder.

"Kyo. Answer me." Kazuma crossed his arms. "What did you do then?"

"I didn't really understand what was gong on at first," Kyo admitted. "I was too…"

"Stunned?" Kazuma calmed down a little and uncrossed his arms.

"Yeah," Kyo said.

"So what did you do after it finally registered in your mind that she was pregnant?"

"Well, she was crying still, so I hugged her."

"And after you transformed?"

"I just lay next to her."

"And Tohru?"

"Huh?"

"What did Tohru do?"

"Um…" Kyo's blush, which had faded, came back full force. "She pet me."

"I see." Kazuma sighed. "Grab your coat. Hatori is waiting."

"Just take a deep breath," Hatori advised.

Kyo nodded; he was starting to feel the panic rising inside him.

They had passed the cage. The "Cat's Room."

Kazuma glanced over at it, then at Kyo. The Cat thought that no one knew about his agreement with Akito, that no one knew he would have to spend the rest of his life in that cage if he couldn't beat Yuki in a fight before their last year of school was over. But Kazuma knew. He knew.

Shigure placed a hand on Kyo's shoulder.

"Kureno?" Shigure called. "Kureno, where are you?"

"Right behind you." The Rooster of the Chinese Zodiac stepped off the porch.

"Oh." Shigure glared at him for a moment before shaking his head as if to clear it. "Where's Akito?"

"Inside."

"I see. Kyo, come on." Shigure walked past the Rooster to enter through the doors of the Main House.

Kyo sighed apprehensively and followed, Kazuma's hand on his shoulder.

"Hello, Kyo," Akito said calmly. "And what brings you here today?"

"Don't mess with me," Kyo muttered angrily. "I'm not in the mood, Akito. You know why I'm here."

"Now, now, don't be bitter," Akito said. "Even as the Cat, you shouldn't act so rudely."

Kyo glared at "God" through his bangs. They were the only two in the room; Akito could be as cruel as he pleased.

"And don't look at me like that."

"You don't own me!"

"Actually," Akito said in forced composure, "I DO own you, Cat."

"No you—"

"How do you feel about Miss Honda?" Akito interrupted.

"Huh?"

"I know all about how you forced yourself on her and impregnated her."

"I did not force myself on her!!!" Kyo yelled. "Why does everybody keep saying that?!?!?"

Akito laughed.

"Yes, well, until I hear that from Miss Tohru herself, I won't believe a word against it from anyone, not even Shigure."

"What is it with you and Shigure?" Kyo muttered before yelling, "STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM TOHRU!!!"

"Do you love her?"

"What?"

"Do. You. Love. Her?" Akito said with slow anger.

"Is that any of your business?" Kyo snapped.

"Yes. It is."

"Why the Hell should I tell you how I—"

"Because I am GOD, Kyo!" Akito yelled. "The Cat may not be a part of the Zodiac, but you belong to me!"

"I don't belong to you, and neither does anyone else!"

"I AM GOD!" Akito screeched. "You, Yuki, Shigure, everyone—You all belong to me!"

"Uhn!" Kyo groaned as Akito lashed out and shoved him against the door; Kyo fell through the shoji, losing his balance and falling to the floor. Akito laughed as Kyo clutched his head; he had a gash from the wood along his temple, and was bleeding freely onto his suit.

"You belong to me!" Akito yelled again, slapping Kyo across the face, nails slashing the Cat's cheek.

"Akito!" Shigure ran into the room, having heard the crash, Hatori and Kazuma behind him. "Akito, stop!"

"Get OFF me, Shigure!" Akito yelled as Shigure grabbed him from behind; Hatori ran over to Kyo and tried to haul him to his feet as Kazuma grabbed Akito's legs to keep him from kicking either Shigure or an only half-conscious Kyo.

Hatori managed to get Kyo to his feet and started for the door, calling over his shoulder, "Shigure! Kazuma! We've got to get him to a hospital! He's had a concussion!"

Kyo just groaned and Akito let out a shriek of wild laughter.

"Pull another stunt like this, Cat, and Tohru Honda will be the one to pay for it!" he yelled after Hatori as he managed to get Kyo down off the porch. Shigure and Kazuma followed immediately after Kureno rushed in to calm Akito.

"Hang on, Kyo," Hatori muttered to the Cat. "Don't fall asleep until I can get you to the hospital."
