Chapter 13 of When the Knight met his Squire. Okay. So I guess I didn't get flames, which is good obviously. But I will admit, I've been put in my place…

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or the characters from it. Natsuki Takaya does… But I own this fanfic …so HAH!

Ahem.

When the Knight met his Squire

He ran past the huge bridge; Stanley running as fast as he could while beads of sweat formed on Kyo's forehead. He quickly jumped off Stanley once in the courtyard and ran into the castle. He ran past many guards,

"Sir Kyo? You've returned already?"

He didn't have the time to reply.

Up many stairs and down many hallways, all to return to his room where Tohru would be. If she wasn't in the room there would be hell to pay.

The door swung open and Kyo ran quickly inside to see Haru lying on his bed, his arms were under his head. He had been sleeping until Kyo's interruption. He was staring at Kyo.

"You're back Kyo…" Haru said as he yawned.

Kyo walked up to Haru and grabbed him by his collar. He threw him off the bed and onto the floor.

"Where the hell is she?" Kyo demanded. Haru could tell the boy was very angered. He left no time to lead Kyo to the whereabouts of Tohru. (Rin's room.)

Haru and Kyo stood in front of the door, Haru started knocking.

"Yes?" Rin asked harshly from the other side of the door.

"It's me." Haru said, nonchalant.

"Why are you here? You're supposed to stay in his room." Rin asked from the other side; Kyo gave Haru a confused look.

"He's right here Rin…" Haru answered and suddenly the door opened very harshly, making Kyo jump back a little while Haru started walking in the room. Kyo composed himself and followed Haru into the room.

His angered face quickly changed to a relieved face as he seen Tohru peacefully sleeping in Rin's bed. Momiji was sleeping right next to Tohru. Rin's back was facing Kyo and Haru; her arms were folded to her chest.

Kyo quickly rushed over to the girl's side when he noticed black and blues and bandages. He quickly turned to Haru, "What the hell happened to her?" He wanted answers, and he wanted them now.

"Well Kyo…we don't know what exactly happened to Miss Tohru…but…we had to break her out of Akito's Dungeon."

Kyo heard this and became full of rage, squeezing his fists until they turned purple. (Jeez...)

"So, Akito and Kureno did this huh?"

By now, Rin had turned around to see Kyo say this. Both her and Haru's eyes widened when they saw Kyo's facial expression, it was a look of death. The same look Kyo had when he practically attacked Akito.

"Kyo, don't assume the worst or anything. I mean, wait until Miss Tohru wakes up to find out what really happened." Haru said, trying to calm down the angry Kyo.

"Assume the worst? Assume the worst Haru? OF COURSE I SHOULD ASSUME THE WORST! IT'S AKITO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE!"

After he shouted to Haru he watched as Tohru moved in her slumber, also cringing a little. He didn't want to wake her up. Kyo sighed as he started to lift the girl and carry her in his arms.

"Where are you going with her?" Rin asked Kyo as he started leaving the room, he stopped and turned back to her.

"She's going with me back to our room. She'll be safe; you don't have to worry about that." Kyo replied, and again started walking out of the door with Tohru in his arms.

Kyo was tired and thought that maybe Haru was right…maybe he was just assuming the worst. He was going to wait till the morning to ask Tohru what happened, but still…it was obvious something happened to her.

Whoever did do this was gonna pay. 'Akito and Kureno better hope they didn't touch her.' Kyo said to himself.

Somehow she ended up in Akito's Dungeon…and someone hurt her. Kyo would murder them if he had to.

The fierce pounding at the door and shouting of "Lord Akito!" gave him a bigger headache then he already had. It was early morning and Akito had yet gone to bed; dealing with war plans kept him up all night.

"What is it?" He shouted to the door where the guard stood on the other side.

"Lord Akito! It's Kyo! He's back from his journey!"

Akito certainly didn't expect this news, especially since Kyo was supposed to be away as long as possible.

"Come in." Akito said.

The man quickly opened the door, ran up to him, and bowed in respect.

"Now tell me more." The man nodded,

"My Lord, I do not know why he is here so sudden but he is back! He did not speak one word to anyone, he just ran up to his room. Or maybe one of his relative's rooms close by? I'm not sure since I was too scared to follow him up. That is all I know, Lord Akito."

"That'll be all." He said to the guard, who got up and left the room. 'Let's see what happens when he finds the girl in my dungeon…' Akito thought to himself as he lay down to try and sleep, 'As long as stupid ass Kureno doesn't get caught doing anything when Kyo finally finds the bitch.'

Kureno wanted to return to Tohru one more time before the sun would rise. He wanted to teach Tohru a lesson now that he felt better from the last time he seen her. He went to his table where the keys to her dungeon were supposed to be. They weren't there. His eyes widened and he became worried. He checked the whole room, twice. As Kureno began to panic, he then realized who the culprit was. Momiji, the sneaky little douche.

'That little shit head.' Kureno thought as he quickly ran to the dungeon where Tohru was supposed to be.

If she wasn't there…Kureno was going to make a stop at Momiji's room. He ran to the dungeon and saw the door had been broken down, which meant someone else had helped him. Tohru was nowhere to be seen…the chains had been unlocked. Kureno was pissed. 'That bitch still hasn't got what she deserves…' Kureno thought as he headed toward Momiji, Rin, and Haru's rooms.

How did he know Rin and Haru were in on it? They were the only two Sohmas (besides Kyo and Momiji) who would go against Akito like this. Kureno smirked as he opened Momiji's door, too bad he wasn't there.

Next stop: Rin's room. He opened the door, "What the hell?…Kureno? What do you want?" Rin said harshly as the man walked in.

Kureno looked over in her bed where he saw Momiji sleeping; no Tohru Honda to be found.

"Where's the girl, Rin?" Kureno simply asked.

Rin's eyes widened and she became frightened.

She knew the way he said that was not a good sign, she crossed her arms. "Not here" She said with her bad attitude, trying to hide her fright.

Kureno smirked and started walking toward the sleeping Momiji; he was about to pull him up by his hair. Rin noticed this and quickly jumped on top of Kureno's back, "Leave him alone! He has nothing to do with this!" Rin shouted.

Kureno easily threw her off of him and she fell to the floor, hard. He grabbed her by her hair; she was looking right at him.

"Don't worry you little bitch. After him, you'll get it too. You think you can go against Akito, take his prisoners, and get away with it? Think again." Kureno said; he slammed Rin's face into the floor.

Kureno walked back to Momiji as Rin lay on the floor, trying to get up so she could get Haru's help. He was, after all, only next door in his room.

Kureno held no hesitation as he pulled Momiji up by his golden locks of hair, waking him instantly.

Kureno started slapping Momiji in the face, left cheek, right cheek, left cheek, right cheek. The boy started to cry as he realized what was going on.

"WAHH! KURENO STOP IT! KURENOS HURTING ME! SOMEBODY!" While Momiji was shouting, Kureno punched him; sending him flying on to the floor.

Rin watched as Kureno walked over to Momiji and started beating him senseless while shouting " YOU NEED TO MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS BOY!" and " STOP STEALING AND THIS WON'T HAPPEN YOU LITTLE RAT!"

She couldn't take watching this anymore.

Rin began standing up, when she was finally on her feet she ran out of the door and into Haru's room. Once Haru and Rin came back (which was literally 1 minute later) Momiji was still being beaten by Kureno and crying his eyes out.

"Kureno what the hell are you doing?" Haru shouted.

Kureno stopped the beatings. "Haru…why do you all disobey Akito like you do? Why do you steal things out of my room, and cause mischief for me?"

Kureno was really pissing Haru off, and Haru was starting to feel his black side come out.

His black side was basically a whole other personality. He was mean and angry, never calm, and couldn't contain himself. This would only happen when he would get really mad and he was certainly getting really mad at the moment.

"Kureno you need to leave before I seriously hurt you." Haru said as he was now in his black persona.

Kureno was certainly not afraid of Haru, black or white, but wasn't in the mood to beat the punk up.

"I don't want to cause an uproar; it is early morning, after all. I'll let this go. Just give me back the key." Kureno said.

Rin quickly tossed the keys to him while Haru was in a fighting stance.

"By the way, I will be taking the girl back from you . So if you excuse me Haru, I'll be in your room getting her." Kureno said as he started walking out of the room.

Haru started to laugh. "You idiot! She's not in my room! She's in her own room…with Kyo. He came back."

Kureno stopped walking, quickly turning around, running up to Haru, and grabbing him by his collar.

"You're lying."

Haru kept laughing at him. "No I certainly am not! He came in here and got her; they went back to his room. He was pissed when he seen her Kureno…he knows you had something to do with it."

Kureno let go of Haru and stood there for a minute, wide eyed. He then silently walked out of the room, heading down the hall. He was probably heading for his room.

Haru knew that Kureno wasn't going to get Tohru and do whatever sick stuff he had originally planned to do. Not with Kyo there. Haru turned to Rin who was now sitting over with Momiji.

Haru kneeled down next to Rin. "Are you two alright?"

She looked up to him, sorrow in her eyes.

"I….I guess I'm alright now Haru." Momiji said as he still had waterfalls of tears flowing down his cheeks.

Rin said nothing.

"Rin?"

She still said nothing. The three sat there silently for a few minutes until Momiji finally spoke up again.

"It was worth it though. What Kureno would have done to Tohru…would have been much worse than what happened to Rin or I."

Haru and Rin both agreed with this. The three spent the night together, not wanting to deal with Kureno popping up again.

Tohru awoke the next morning to the realization that she was no longer in Rin's bed with Momiji. She turned around in the bed to see Kyo lying next to her asleep.

Kyo was here!

Her eyes started to water as she rubbed her finger against his cheek. It felt like so long since she last seen him. Those hours were definitely the longest hours of her life. But now Kyo was here... and she was back in her own room.

Tohru moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling more secure. She fell back asleep shortly after.

Okay, I know this was a short chapter, but I needed to set it up this way.

Idk…

I hope that this chapter doesn't suck as much as I think it does though.

Hah, that evil Kureno came back! Did you expect that? I'm hoping you didn't…that was my goal.

Um, I promise to update as soon as possible!

No more being lazy! Well…I won't be lazy for chapter 14…

Until chap. 14,

Sarah.
