Author's Intro:

Sigh….(tries to kill writer's block)….it's still here. But it's getting better.

But I still cannot organize the story. The little buggehs buzz in my head.

And yet, I shall give you the opportunity to enjoy the story!

Tohru finally made it to school, injuries and all, with a bit of help from Kyo and Yuki, of course.

"Yo! Tohru!" Uotani ran over to the brown haired girl, waving. Hanajima was following her closely behind.

"Uo-chan! Hello!" Tohru cried back, smiling happily as the "Yankee" wrapped her up in a huge hug. "I'm so sorry that we couldn't get together during the weekend."

"That's okay," Arisa grinned, stepping back. She suddenly frowned. "What happened? To your head and arm, I mean."

"Uhh…well…." Tohru started, nervous. "I-I was running to get something out of the oven before it burned, and…a-and I fell and did this," she finished, pointing to each of the wounds.

"Ah, I see. Clumsy Tohru!" she laughed, winking at her. "Let's head to class."

"Of course," Saki stated, following everyone else. She knew that something was going on with Tohru. And she sensed that Arisa did, too.

And maybe, no….no….probably, it had something to do with those strange Sohma boys.

Class went along decently smoothly. Everyone was jittery about Graduation, especially the Fan Club girls.

"Yuki-kun can finally marry me!"

"No, no, he'll definitely pick me!"

"I can see the light in his eyes!"

And so on. They didn't notice the fact that they wouldn't be able to protect him. Boo hoo for them.

After school, Hanajima stopped Yuki in the hallway, while he was still alone.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but can you tell me what has been happening with Tohru-kun? I would appreciate it…." She trailed off, looking right into the Rat's eyes.

"Uh…uh…I-I don't know exactly what you mean. She did fall, but do you think that something different has taken place?"

"Yes. I sense so."

"…uh…"

"PRESIDENT!"

"I-I'm sorry, Hanajima-san. I need to go now…" Yuki breathed, smiling nervously, right before taking off to join the rest of the Student Council.

"Of course….of course…."

Kyo was practicing in the dojo. He was sweating fiercely, and couldn't take all of his anger out on just the equipment he was flinging punches and kicks at.

One day, he sweared that he would kill Akito Sohma. One day….

A call interrupted the Sohma's thoughts. It was Haru.

"I heard that Akito wants to see you," the Ox mumbled, looking around the vast room. "He seemed kinda pissed."

"Yeah, I know," Kyo angrily drawled. "You can tell him to go and f—"

"He thought you'd say that. Kyo, Honda-san would be in danger if you didn't go. And she will be if you say anything stupid," he added, plainly and calmly.

Kyo sighed, controlling her annoyance.

"Fine."

'This can't be good,' both the Cow and the former Cat were thinking.

"Kyo Sohma, do you have any idea why you are here?"

"No. If I did, I'd probably be running, or coming in here with a gun."

Akito got a sour look on his face at that comment.

"Shut up, filth."

Kyo knew what Haru had said.

"And she will be if you say anything stupid."

He thought it was freakin' annoying, but true. So he kept his mouth shut. The "God" was probably already decently pissed.

"I wanted to personally give you a warning. Your first and last. Be thankful of my generosity," Akito paused, sneering at the boy. "I don't want you anywhere near my Estate. Or, for that matter, near that Dog's house. Or the Cat."

"What?" Kyo yelled, taking a step forward. The Head put his hand up to stop the advance.

"Or you will regret it."

The orange headed boy kept glaring. Akito sighed.

"Do it for Tohru-san's sake," he finished, glancing over at the whip by his bed. "You hopefully aren't stupid enough to still not know what I'm talking about."

"Y-yes, Akito-san," Kyo choked out, holding back tears.

"And don't talk to her. I'll know. Or find out soon enough."

He got up, and walked over to Kyo. Touching his cheek, he swung his hand back and motioned as if to slap him, but stopped at the last millisecond.

The boy only barely flinched.

"I'll see you later, then?"

He barely nodded, and then walked out, putting his face into his hands, leaving Akito smiling. Kyo kept walking, not really looking to where he was headed.

'What will I do?'

Author's Closing:

Poor, poor Kyo. So sad. It's like a Soap Opera!

Aren't I such a cruel authoress? Terribly cruel. Posting soon.
