Disclaimer: I dont own Fruits Basket. I instead own a nasty cold. -sniffle-

Ack. I hate colds. I hate snot. I hate sore throats. I hate not being able to hear my CDs without blaring them. Ha, my boom box was blaring Disney songs (mostly The Lion King and Tarzan) and oldies at the Art Show I was in. That's all I was alound to play... But I also got away with Numa Numa once or twice. My booth was all aboutsculpting animals. I'm soooo good at that. D I'm sure Meanie Mandy Poo will agree with that. -wink- I bet you're reading this, Meanie Mandy Poo. And yet, I have still to tell you of this story. In fact... I don't think you;ve read the latest chapter of Neko Love II... which came out like... last year. XD Anyway... I bet Kyo would agree, too.

Kyo - She sucks.

Tohru - Authoress-hime doesn't suck, Kyo-kun! Authoress-hime is very good at sculpting.

Aww, now I'm a princess! Arigatou, Tohru-chan! Anyway... I-eth decree-eth thou-eth shalt-eth read-eth my-eth story-eth now-eth... eth

"Shit!" (-sweatdrop- That's a nice first word for the chapter XD) I said, pulling Tohru down. Yuki, the girl, and Momiji turned around to see what was wrong. Without them staring after us, I pulled Tohru into a crawl towards the safety of the girl's bathroom. She took the hint and sprinted towards the door, with me in toe. Hiding us both behind a large potted plant, I hugged her. Poof!

"Kyo-kun…" she said, mildly surprised, blushing. Then, she saw a large man, dressed like Akito's cronies had been, looking around very, very close to us. She silently slipped into the bathroom with me in her arms.

As I marveled over the cleanliness of the girl's bathroom the brown haired girl, Machi, had slipped in, with a little girl in her arms, and talked to Tohru.

"Yuki knows you're hiding from Akito's men. He and I went through the same thing when we eloped and went to travel abroad. He'll send me to tell you they're gone, or if they're coming to check this bathroom." She whispered emotionlessly before walking back out.

So, we sat there for what seemed like hours, just waiting for the news that the men left. It was just wait, wait, wait, because I was a cat, and cats don't normally talk. Finally, our flight was called.

"Oh no, we're going to miss our plane!" Tohru said nervously, her arms tightening around me.

"I'll go to the men's room to change back then I'll distract them. You get on the plane." I said, hoping it would work. Tohru's beautiful brown eyes filled with tears that didn't fall.

"You'll be taken back to that place, Kyo-kun…" I sighed, licking her cheek affectionately. Then, I hopped out of those warm, welcoming arms and dashed out the door, thinking I would never see my dear Tohru ever again.

I stood at Mama's side, waiting as she and Papa welcomed Uncle Yuki back. This was my first time seeing him and I was terrified. Only Papa talked about Uncle Yuki. I don't think Mama likes him…

I looked around, bored to death, yet at the same time intimidated by Uncle Yuki and Aunt Machi and even Cho, their daughter. Then, a small orange cat carrying clothes in his mouth caught my eye. He was the same color as Uncle Kyo's hair…

The cat dashed into the men's bathroom and then a loud poof was heard. That reminded me of a Zodiac transformation…

Suddenly, Uncle Kyo dashed out of the bathroom, yelling something about Tohru-sensei, who edged out of the girl's bathroom. Immediately, about a dozen or so burly men, somehow with guns, headed towards the two. Tohru-sensei took off towards a plane exit, but Uncle Kyo stood stock still. The men didn't seem to care. I couldn't figure out why, if they wanted Tohru, until I realized that another three or so men were heading towards Tohru. It seemed like Uncle Kyo had noticed, as well. He couldn't do anything though, because he either took on the men coming towards him, letting the others get Tohru-sensei, or ward off the smaller group of men to let Tohru be captured by the other group.

I panicked; Tohru was going to get caught! But then, a plan formed in my head. Quickly, I pushed Cho into Uncle Yuki and a loud poof, like the one in the bathroom, sounded. In the middle of a few wisps of smoke was a white tiger cub with blue eyes like Machi's.

"Cho, go!" I yelled, hugging Uncle Yuki as well. I didn't know how much a bunny could do, but it was better than my human form. I hopped quickly towards Tohru with Cho is tow. She jumped on one man, who knocked into another. Cho was big for her age. Now, I had one man to take down… as a bunny….

"Tohru-sensei, run!" I heard a voice yell from behind me. There I saw a little black bunny hopping around on a big, burly man's head and a white tiger trying to knock out another two. I did as I was told, mouthing a thank you to the bunny and glancing one last time at Kyo, who was currently trying to wrestle out of the grip of at least ten men. Sighing, I went reluctantly, the flight attendant dazed as she let me pass.

From the bone-breaking grasp of at least ten of Akito's men I watched Tohru stare sadly back at me then make her way onto the plane. Even as I heard my arm crack and felt blood dripping its way down to my hand, I smiled. Tohru was safe, at least for now. I, however, wasn't so lucky to say the same thing for myself.
