Tohru's Problem- A Storm is Brewing…
Yuki led Tohru by the hand across the back yard and into the forest. Thunder clapped overhead, and made Tohru jump.
"Yuki?" she asked, "do you think we will be back before the storm hits?"
"Yes," he replied, "it isn't supposed to storm until around ten. I think it was about four last time that I checked."
The ground had a fresh coat of fallen leaves, still crunchy. More were falling around them every second. The cool moist breeze softly blew Tohru's hair around her face. He led her to the garden and they sat down on the large rock beside it.
"Tohru," he took her hand once more, "please tell me what is wrong. What is with you, your dad, and Akina?"
She looked away for a minute. This forest felt alive and palpable in this weather, pressing its cool wet fingers in on them. It gave her a sense of intimacy, and closeness to Yuki. She wanted to tell him what had happened. She scooted closer to Yuki, their thighs touching, and she started to tell him,
"Do you remember that night that Hana said that something bad would happen to me?"
Yuki nodded, taking her hand.
"And how I was late from work that night?"
Yuki nodded again. Tohru opened her mouth to tell him exactly what happened, but it wouldn't come out. It formed a clod in her throat. She started crying, softly and silently. Yuki put an arm over her shoulder, keeping one hand to hold her hand.
"Yuki, I just…I can't tell you." She was full on crying now and Yuki pulled her into a hug. He was crying too at this point, what had happened to his poor dear Tohru? the hug was full of warmth and love, and Yuki didn't change.
"Yuki," she choked out between sobs, "why aren't you changing?"
"I don't know," he similed as he cried with her. "But this is the best hug I've had my whole life."
They wanted to sit there like that forever, but he changed into a rat after 3 minutes. Tohru picked him up and cupped him in her hands, and drew him close to her neck.
"Yuki," she whispered, "I was raped."

Kyo was frozen- were they talking about Tohru? Has this man been the cause of her cutting and being depressed? He listened closely, trying to figure out what they were talking about.
"Yeah, that would suit the little brat," he similed toward her, "plus, I'm getting a bit bored of you."
She nodded and turned her attention toward her food.
"I guess I should go over to her house around ten. Tohru is getting it this time." At the mention of her name Kyo lost it. He stood up and crossed the diner.
He grabbed the man around the neck and pulled him out of the table.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO TOHRU!" Kyo demanded loudly. The man launched a punch at Kyo, but this martial artist was prepared for this, and ready to fight. Kyo let go of the man and blocked the punch and sprang a kick to his chest in return. The man flew 3 feet and hit the ground with a loud thud, seeing as he was a bit over weight. He quickly got back up to his feet and rushed at Kyo, who stood his ground until the man drew nigh. Then in one tackling motion flipped him through the air to land on his chest.
"Stay away from Tohru, you no good beast."
Kyo ran out the door before ever getting his 'coke'.

Shigure was typing up his latest story on the computer when he heard the door slammed open.
"Oh no," he thought, "someone's upset." He laughed to himself as Kyo stormed into the room.
"Decided to rejoin us Kyo?" Shigure mused, "you weren't gone very long this time."
"SHUT UP!" Kyo yelled. "Where's Tohru?"
"Ah ha, now the reason you returned is clear," Shigure was trying his best not to laugh, "you just can't control yourself when it comes down to her can you?"
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Kyo was seriously pissed off at this point, "SHE MIGHT BE IN SERIOUS DANGER, WHERE IS SHE?"
"I'm really not sure, she said she was going out somewhere with Yuki. They left around four." They both glanced up at the clock, it read 5:11.

Hana felt it, stronger than ever before. Something was about to happen.
"Arisia?" she called her on the phone, "I need your help with something."
"Yes? What is it?" Hana could sense her angst over the phone. "Is there something wrong with Tohru?"
"There will be. I feel what ever it is will happen around 9:30." The time was currently 6:30.
"I can feel it to. Where do you want to meet?" Arisia asked over the phone.
"I'll be at your house I about 20 minutes. Do you remember what you used to wear in the gang?"
"Yes, why?"
"You need to wear it."
They hung up without even saying goodbye.
Hana went to her closet and pulled out her blackest over coat, long and lacey. It had a collar that came up to the bottom of her nose. She wasn't sure why they had to look creepy, but she felt it.
She had never had a wave like this, this strong and powerful. It felt lethal and ominous. It sunk right through her, she could feel what was going to happen to Tohru in herself. She saw things in an errie way she had never seen in before, as if every second counted. Her house seemed strangely foreign to her. She had to go now.
She didn't know why, but after she grabbed her black parasol she went out through the back door and walked over to the bushes. Three fan club girls jumped up and ran. They had a cage with 5 rats in it in their hands.
"How strange," she said aloud to herself, her voice dry and afraid in her throat. Yes, Hana was afraid.
