Kyo was fast asleep on his preferable sleeping spot, the roof. The celestial moonlight beaming off his pale skin as he dreamt.

Dream

Kyo was opposite of his rival Yuki in a grayed out room. Yuki was bruised and bleeding from his nose. Kyo wore a wide grin as he began to pound into Yuki, "Don't have any smart ass remarks now do you rat?"

Kyo whipped around and kicked Yuki in the stomach sending him flying into a brick wall. Suddenly the room was filled with people roaring and chanting Kyo's victory. Kyo shook his hands into the air satisfying his triumph.

"Kyo, you did it! I knew you could!" Shouted Tohru as she embraced Kyo, who actually didn't change at all. He just wrapped his arms around her and smiled wildly.

"Finally, that damn rat got what had been coming to him for years," smirked the ecstatic cat as he walked away from the scene with his arm around Tohru.

"Oh Kyo you're just the best," Tohru said as she proceeded to wrap her thin arms around his waist. She lifted to her tip-toes and placed a short soft kiss onto Kyo's lips.

He was quite enthralled by this and pulled her into him and dived in for a long hard kiss.

"Kyo, do you love me?" Tohru asked taking a step back from him.

Kyo cocked his head, he tried to answer her, but his voice had gone from him. He moved his mouth in words that didn't form, he couldn't respond to her.

She repeated her question over and over again, but he still couldn't respond. Her form began to fade and then only he was left, but her question was still echoing through the emptiness.

His dream washed out and he shook himself awake. He sat up on the rough roof staring out into the dark. He was recalling his dream, it was vivid. He wondered why he would dream of something like that.

He ran his hand through his hair and yawned in a meow tone. Thinking over his dream he realized that he quite enjoyed it. Having Tohru hug and kiss him without turning into a cat was a very new exciting feeling for him. But the end of the dream was still a wonder.

He heard someone walking below and looked to find Tohru coming home from work. He observed quietly, unseen by her, until she disappeared into the home. He wrestled his thoughts about the dream trying to figure out what exactly was going on with him.

Inside the Home

Tohru quietly entered the house hoping not to disturb anyone. She felt ready to just dive into bed after a good hard-working time at work.

She made her way to her room, quickly changing into her pajamas. She was just about to get into bed when she remembered that she had homework. She remembered that Yuki offered her help on it. So she decided to go see if he was still awake.

When she got to Yuki's room she found that he wasn't there. She figured this was odd, but also thought maybe he was about visiting others.

She retreated back to her room. She figured she'd just do the best she could on it.

As she sat at her desk scrawling down ink she heard something in Akito's room. She passed it off as just a house noise, but she kept hearing it over and over.

She crept up to the sliding door that connected her room to Akito's. She was debating whether or not she should take a peek at what that noise was. She knew it was wrong to do it because it's none of her business, but curiosity got the best of her.

She cracked the door open just a smidge and looked into Akito's room. It was pretty plain, except the bed looks quite comfy. She figured it was because Akito was bedridden a lot. But she didn't really care about how the room looked; she wanted to find the noise.

She waited a while, trying to listen for the noise. She finally heard it. It sounded like a snapping noise. She couldn't figure where the source of it was. Suddenly the snapping noises had stopped.

A door in Akito's room slid open, emerged came a limping Yuki and a smirking Akito carrying a whip-like structure.

Tohru gasped quietly as she realized what had happened. She wanted to just go hurt Akito for what he had done. But she knew it would cause more trouble.

She saw Akito place a chilling hand on Yuki's shoulder. He whispered something into his ear and Yuki slowly walked out of Akito's room.

Tohru's eyes began to water, she felt so bad for Yuki. She shifted her balance in her feet and the floorboards beneath her creaked. She hoped that Akito hadn't heard her, but sadly his head had whipped in her direction.

She froze as his slanted eyes caught her peeping eye. He squinted at her as he let the whip fall into a pile on the floor. He made his way to the door and flung it open. Tohru flinched in tremendous fear.

Akito grabbed Tohru's hair and pulled her head to a tilt. "How dare you spy on me? You'll suffer my punishment."

Tohru was stunned with horror. Akito pulled her up against the wall, slamming her head against it. Tohru started shedding tears.

"Stop crying you little baby. It only will make things worse," hissed Akito as he through her onto the floor.

Tohru's hair sprawled over her face as she curled into a fetal position. Akito smirked and went over to pick up the whip. "You're going to learn not to spy on people."

He let the tip of the whip scratch against the floorboards as he strode over to Tohru.

"Please…don't," she whimpered.

"Do you think I'll allow you mercy?" he scoffed.

"No…but I think you're capable of it…" she titled her head up at him, strands of her hair falling to the side of her face.

Akito glared at her, "Well you must be naïve if you believe that."

He raised the whip above his head and lingered a few seconds to tease. Tohru jolted up to her feet and slapped Akito across the face.

Both were astonished by her actions, especially Tohru herself. Akito dropped the whip and placed his hand to his cheek and looked down dumbfounded at Tohru. She stood blank-eyed, not knowing what would happen now.

In a flash, Akito wrapped his hands around Tohru's neck. She gasped and tried to scratch his hands off, but to no avail. His eyes were filled with masked evil.

Tohru was losing conscious when suddenly Akito was thrown from her. She was too weak to stay awake and became unconscious.

A/N:
