Hello.

This has taken me a while to update because my hardrive fried and we got it fixed and EVERYTHING got deleted. So...my whole chapter was erased. It sucked.

Well Now that I got that out.

Welcome to Chapter 19 of the wonderful fanfic known as When the Knight met his Squire.

Thanks for all the reviews!

Well anyways,

Disclaimer: This guy walks up to me and says, "You created Fruits Basket didn't you?"

And I was like "No, you fool! I do not own Fruits Basket, Natsuki Takaya does, what are you thinking?" Then I smacked him.

When the Knight met his Squire

Kyo soon realized after running into the castle that it was a mistake. A big mistake. Tohru and Kyo looked around the dining hall they had just ran in to. It was pure chaos. People were running around and screaming.

"It's coming!"

"Run!"

"Get out of my way!"

"...hey you! I like those shoes, oh wait, IT'S COMING!"

"HEY THANKS! Wait... RUN!"

Kyo didn't know what was going on but obviously it was bad. He pulled out his trusty sword and this drew people's attention to him. Another bad mistake.

"Hey it's Sir Kyo! He can help us! He's got to!" Generic man shouted.

Crowds of people started flocking toward Kyo out of nowhere! People must've heard the man shout his comment from other rooms and ran toward the shout.

Before Kyo could even turn toward Tohru she was gone. People were surrounding Kyo shouting in his ear, "Help us!". Kyo was trying to ignore the shouts and push the people out of the way. It didn't work though.

'There she is!' Kyo thought as he saw two people running toward a door leading to a hallway. One of them was definitely Tohru since he could see the dress and the brown hair. But who was the guy? He looked familiar but Kyo just couldn't put his finger on it.

Kyo watched as Tohru stopped the kid from running and turned toward him. She looked scared and worrie, and she obviously didn't want to leave Kyo in this situation. Kyo just wanted Tohru to be safe and if this kid was trying to help her then she needed to go with him.

Tohru didn't know what exactly happened and how she ended up on the floor but she was currently sitting on her butt. Last time she had checked she was standing next to Kyo watching people run around screaming and now she watched as tons of people started running toward her like a stampede.

They were shouting for Kyo and didn't even care that Tohru was sitting on the ground. Suddenly Tohru was pulled up off of the ground from someone.

"Are you okay Tohru?"

Tohru looked up and sighed in relief. She was saved from being trampled by Manabe!

"Manabe, thank you so much! How are- "Tohru was cut off.

"We don't have time to stand here and chat. We have to get out of here!"

Manabe took Tohru's hand and started running toward the door across the room. It lead to the hallway that lead to the exit of the castle. Tohru really didn't think at first, she just allowed her legs to run. She heard more shouts of "Sir Kyo help!" and she realized she couldn't just go and leave Kyo.

She stopped running.

"What are you doing Tohru? We gotta get out of here before..." Manabe stopped. He watched Tohru stare across the room.

Tohru was staring at Kyo and he was staring back at her.

They both had a sorrowful look on their face. Manabe watched Kyo mouth the word "Go" and Tohru nodded. This was Manabe's chance to get them out of there so he quickly took the girl's hand again and ran toward the door.

If Tohru and Manabe had waited any longer they would've been stuck in the room with it. Tohru looked back one last time and watched as something came through the wall at the other end of the room. Her mouth dropped and her eyes bugged. This was after all, the first time she had ever seen a real life dragon.

Kyo mouthed the word "Go" and watched Tohru slowly nod from across the room. The boy that was with her took her hand and again ran toward the door leading to a hallway. Kyo turned back to the people in front of him, trying to get complete, coherent sentences from the terrified people around him.

"Now tell me what the hell is coming?"

He couldn't understand anyone. They were all talking at the speed of 100 miles a minute and saying words that he didn't believe were even real. Once Kyo saw something come crashing through the wall to the left of him he didn't need explanations of what was going on.

A dragon was in the castle and was now currently in the same room as him.

People were either: standing behind Kyo, running anywhere that was away from the dragon, or running outside of the castle. The big, green scaled, blue haired, red eyed dragon was staring directly at Kyo.

It headed toward Kyo sucking in air and getting ready to blow fire; Kyo yelled "Watch out!" to anyone in general and then looked around for something to help this battle. On the other side of the room the wall contained weapons such as axes and swords that were from previous battles. Kyo had to find something to distract the dragon so he could get over there. He looked around for anything but there was nothing. Only some broken tables, chairs, and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.

Wait! That was it!

Kyo knew he could take this dragon down as long as he was accurate enough. As the dragon charged toward him, he ran toward the ropes that held each chandelier up. He started to cut at the thick strong ropes as the dragon started to blow fire. If Kyo didn't cut the rope off at the right time, he would be ash, so he was determined to get this right.

The ropes cut and Kyo turned around to watch what would happen.

Each chandelier fell one by one. It was a row of chandeliers (5 to be precise) and they all fell. They were very heavy and had 12 candles lit per chandelier, so when one of the heavy metal objects fell on the dragon, he fell. (I think it's a he...)

The candles from the chandeliers fell to the ground, starting fire where they landed, but other than that, the aim was perfect. The giant chandelier hit the dragon on the head, and it was so dumb it didn't even look up and realize it was about to be clobbered.

This was the perfect chance for Kyo to kill the beast. He ran toward it with his sword in his hands while the dragon was starting to get back up. Kyo was not going to let this dragon get up though. He ran up to the dragon and he sliced at its chest. Dragon blood (which is blue because I say it is) was flying around everywhere as the boy continued to slice into the dragon's chest. He was trying to avoid the large fire forming behind the dragon.

Kyo then stopped slicing and quickly ran to the wall containing the dangerous (but shiny) weapons. He grabbed the largest (and unfortunately heaviest) axe and ran toward the dragon while he still had the chance to attack. He lifted the heavy axe above his head, trying to keep balance, and swinging it down at the dragon's neck.

Now the swing wasn't powerful enough to cut the dragon's neck in half. (Lets be serious, it's a dragon...) But it cut his neck open and basically, he was dead. And as relieved and pumped as Kyo was, he couldn't do a victory dance at the moment.

He needed to find Tohru, see what was going on, and get people to put out this fire before it really got out of hand! Kyo calmed down the people around him quick enough for them to put out the fire; it had been put out before serious damage was caused.

Now he needed to go find Tohru, but where to start?

"Where are we going Manabe?" Tohru asked while she and Manabe were running out of the castle.

"Away from here!" Manabe responded.

Tohru was so worried for Kyo.

Was he fighting that dragon right now? Was he running from it? T

Tohru wondered if he was all right at the moment; she hoped he was.

Tohru and Manabe were running deep into the woods just like many other people had. Everyone thought they escaped the castle and would now be safe; they thought wrong.

Screams were heard throughout the forest.

"What's going on?" Tohru asked as she looked up to the dark sky, watching big shadows fly away. People were being carried off by the giant shadows.

"Oh...shit... Tohru, we gotta hide right now!" Manabe said and before Tohru could respond he pulled the girl into a bush with him. They sat quietly by and watched people run by screaming while dragons were chasing after them. These people were no match for the dragons; their speed was much faster than a humans. (No duh author….)

Manabe and Tohru both watched from behind the bush as people were either being eaten right then and there, were burned to a crisp, or were carried away.

She couldn't hold back her tears any longer and so Tohru began to cry. Everything had happened so fast; one minute she was having the best time of her life and the next minute she was watching atrocities occur right in front of her. She couldn't help anyone and she felt useless.

Manabe knew Tohru was having a hard time, hell he was having a hard time! Who wasn't having a hard time at the moment? Manable knew that her crying wasn't going to help though, if anything it could get them caught by a dragon and make matters much worse.

As much as the boy tried to calm Tohru down, she just wouldn't budge. She had finally lost it; she couldn't handle the situation and unfortunately for her it was only the beginning...

Wow. Well, i'm gonna end it there, because ...idk.

Is that a cliffhanger?

I don't think so...I don't consider it to be but um.

There really wasn't much violence, or action...or anything.

I know this was another one of those "not- so - great" chapters probably but...oh boy i've already got the ideas for what's going to happen next!

So yeah.

Reviews would be nice, and i'm very sorry for posting this so late.

I mean, it wasn't even that long.

But, my computer broke, and also, I took my time on this. (Which is probably hard to believe)

For some reason, explaining action scenes is hard for me...

Ehh, anyways,

Until chapter 20,

Sarah.
