"WHERE THE HELL IS HE?" Kyo demanded, finally breaking the anxious silence in the room.

"Kyo don't you know? Curiosity killed the cat!" Shigure replied in a playful tone.

"SHUT UP, YOU STUPID DOG!"

"Well that was a clever comeback." Aaya said without missing a beat; thankful that there was something to play with now (Kyo's temper!).

"SHUT UP, YOU STUPID SNAKE!"

"Where do you come up with these witty and original lines?" Shigure took his turn in replying to the red faced red head.

Before Kyo could yell another insult, Tohru squeezed his hand. She didn't look at him when she did this; she merely kept right on looking through the wall ahead. This was enough to calm the Cat down. Kyo sighed and waited patiently in silence.

'With just a squeeze of a hand she calmed him down so easily…' Kagura thought to herself. She wasn't sure if that made her happy or sad. She felt both. She loved Tohru like everyone else in the room, but she was also slightly jealous of her relationship with Kyo.

Kagura would give anything, no everything to have Kyo react that way to her...

The door opened suddenly making almost everyone jump except Hatori who turned his attention to Tohru. He saw Akito everyday, memorized his features without ever intending to do so, so why did he need to look at him as he stood there with that hateful sneer on his face, slightly hunched over, pale, weak looking…no he'd rather stare at Tohru who reminded him so much of his lost love…too much sometimes…

"Well let's get started then, shall we?" Akito asked not expecting an answer, excitement in his voice at seeing so much distress on the faces of the people in the room.
