"Tohru!" Yuki ran over to Tohru and dropped to his knees. She was just sitting there, staring at the wall but not seeing it. It reminded him of someone but he couldn't remember who…

He tilted her head up to look into her eyes. She stared past him, not taking in any of her surroundings. "Tohru? Can you hear me? It's okay, we're here. You're getting out of here," Yuki whispered to her, trying to sound comforting. It wasn't something he had a lot of practice in. But Tohru didn't make any sign that she'd heard him, but tears had begun streaming down her face. Yuk suddenly remembered who those staring eyes reminded him of: Kana. The Kana who'd almost been driven mad by grief for Hatori.

"No, Tohru, please, listen! You must wake up!" He shook her shoulder gently, but she ignored him.

"Yuki, we need to get her out of here. We can continue this later," murmured Haru. "We don't need to run into Akito. You want me to carry her?"

"No. I'll do it. You should go find Momiji and the others." Yuki gently lifted Tohru up, bridal-style, being careful not to hold her too close. He turned around to walk back through the doorframe, but it was blocked. He looked up into the glaring eyes of Akito.

"Well, this is rather unexpected. I must say I didn't think you'd be foolish enough to try this, Yuki," Akito pushed off from the wall he was leaning against and walked up to Yuki so that their noses were almost touching. "It would seem you will both need to be… punished."

"Why are you dragging her into this, Akito? What has she done?" Yuki's control over his anger was slipping. "What has she done?" Akito stared into his eyes for a moment before a fist flew out of nowhere and send Yuki flying across the room into Haru, carrying them both into the opposite wall. Tohru fell to the floor landing painfully on her side. Akito looked down at her then pulled her up roughly by the shoulders and turning her to look at Yuki and Haru's forms.

"Do you see what you cause, Miss Honda? Look what the Zodiac members are suffering for you sake." With that, he let her sink back to floor, her body now racking with sobs. Then he disappeared through the double doors and into the depths of the house.
