Chapter 21-Dance, Dance

Kyo fled from the pair as they left the apartment fresh images flooding his mind. He wanted to hurl. This had to be the biggest regret in his life. He knew he shouldn't of gone, and now he was a witness to murder. What was he going to do? He knew what he should do. But he didn't like cops and they would never believe him. Haru had told him that the 'mess' would be taken care of. No one would ever know it was a murder. Kyo felt filthy.

He practically was running and he had no idea where he was going. Not home, that's for sure. He was too panicked and his head was swimming.

Kyo stopped and looked up. The cat found him staring at the main house. He wasn't supposed to be here. Akito was still out sick. He growled and went through the doors. He needed to find Hatori. He needed to talk to him. There was no one else he could think of to talk to; there's no way he'd tell Tohru, Shigure… Shigure was Shigure, he'd never speak to Yuki about it, and anyone else was just out of the question. It had to Hatori. Thinking more about it Hatori had the right to know; he lived with that homicidal cow.

He found Hatori's living quarters easily and practically banged down the door knocking.

Hatori inwardly wondered who was so impatient as he opened the door. His thoughts were answered as he saw Kyo. 'Kyo shouldn't be at the main-' his inner thoughts were cut off when he realized the cat's state. He looked so badly shaken up; there was no color in his face.

"Come in," Hatori told him softly as he ushered the redhead in. When they were seated and comfortable Hatori went on, "What's the matter?"

"I…," Kyo started, he hadn't thought about exactly the words that he'd tell Hatori and now he who usually always had something to say wished he had, his mind frazzled, "Haru… he… I…" He decided that it would probably be best to start from the beginning, "I followed Haru today."

He paused wondering if Hatori would say something. The doctor only nodded for him to go on.

"He was going home, but then I annoyed him too much and he went to Knox's. Knox was upset when we got there. Some guy had stolen money from him or something. We went over to where the guy was at…" Kyo stopped, his heart pounding he closed his eyes, his voice was unusually hoarse.

"And?" Hatori asked encouraging the teen to continue.

"And Knox… well… he… he murdered that guy," Kyo whispered, eyes concentrating on a spot on the floor; trying to stop his mind from opening the damn and letting the images spill out once more.

Hatori's face remained emotionless. His worst fears were confirmed.

"And Haru just stood there and watched… no problem," Kyo went on, "he's a murderer too. God, what Knox did to that guy."

Silence shrouded the room.

"What are you going to do?" Hatori asked him finally.

"Nothing," he sighed, "I guess. There's nothing I can do. Knox is a wolf. He has to be. I saw his teeth when he was angry; they were canine, and when he slashed that guy claw marks appeared."

"Really?" Hatori asked, getting up to make Kyo some tea. The redhead nodded.

"Where are you going?" Kyo asked quickly, as the doctor left.

"You need some tea," Hatori explained as he left, seeing Kyo start to get up, he added, "Stay here and wait. Some tea should calm you down."

Kyo nodded slowly. There was still no color in his face. Hatori gave him a nod back and exited the room.

Kyo sank back against the chair and closed his eyes trying to collect himself.

A few minutes later Hatori came back.

"The tea will be done in a little while," Hatori told him after he'd sat down.

"So, then you agree?" Kyo asked not bothering to open his eyes.

"About what?" Hatori asked, not understanding what he meant.

"That Knox is a wolf," Kyo said quietly.

Hatori shook his head before realizing that Kyo couldn't see him.

"No, it could still be a curse. After all that could just be a manifestation; our curse has manifestations too," Hatori told him.

Kyo frowned, "I guess."

"I need to know," Hatori sighed and headed out of the room. This time Kyo let him go thinking he was just going to check up on the tea.

It took several minutes for the doctor to come back. When he did he had two steaming cups of tea on small metal tray.

The doctor set the tray on the table as Kyo shifted sitting up. He handed one to Kyo and took the other.

The next day when Kyo saw the cow in the halls he headed in the other direction. Before the end of the day Yuki and Tohru had both caught on to it.

"What's the matter?" Yuki asked him, both annoyed and worried.

"Nothing," Kyo muttered avoiding eye contact and heading on his way.

"Miss Honda, can you excuse us?" Yuki asked as he hurried to catch up with Kyo.

The girl politely nodded. "I'll see you outside by the gate."

Once she was out of earshot Yuki asked him again.

Kyo stopped, giving the rat a strange look. The cat ushered him into an empty classroom. Several minutes went by.

Finally as if making a final decision he told Yuki everything; what he'd witnessed and what he knew.

In the back of Yuki's mind there had been a nagging feeling about what Haru did and it was right. But it didn't lessen the shock.

"So, you think Haru's a murderer too?" Yuki sighed resigned.

"There's no doubt in my mind," Kyo frowned and shook his head.

"And that's why your avoiding Haru so heavily," Yuki said slowly.

Kyo nodded, "I can't face him."

"I don't think I can face him again and I wasn't there," Yuki sighed shaking his head, "Can we really avoid him forever?"

"I dunno," Kyo said, "probably not."

"What are we going to do?" Yuki said asking no one in particular.

"Keep them away from Tohru," Kyo told him quickly.

"Besides that?" Yuki asked.

"We'll have to think of something," Kyo sighed.
