"How are we going to do it? No one's seen or heard from Kyo since New Years." Kagura was worried. What did Tohru want with the cat?
"I don't know Kagura, but it's want Tohru wants. After what she's been through I think we should at least try. For her, not Kyo."
Kagura nodded.
They had no plan and no idea, so they went to see the one person who might have any idea at all. Kazuma.
---
"I'm afraid Kyo hasn't come to see me for nearly a week now, but when he was here he always seemed distracted, like he was planning something."
"Thank-you master." Yuki said bowing as he and Kagura left.
"Wait!" Kazuma came running out of the Sohma family dojo. When he reached to two teenagers he looked totally puffed "Have you thought of looking in the mountains? That is where he ran off to last time; he might have gone there again."
Taking in this piece of information, Yuki and Kagura went to find the one person who didn't really belong in the Sohma family.
A bus and three taxi's later, they started to search for Kyo. Agreeing to go in separate directions and meet back up there in 3 hours they looked high and low for the cat.
"Kyo!" Yuki shouted. "KYO! KYO! KYO!"
"Shut up already!" Kyo jumped down from a tree. "How did you find me here in anyway?"
"You aren't very good at hiding, stupid cat."
"What the hell do you want, Yuki?" Kyo demanded, his fists clenching as if planning to hit him the moment he said something insulting or stupid.
"I was asked to come find you." The rat stated matter-if-factly.
"Oh yeah? By who?"
"Tohru..."
---
"Where is she? Is she alright?" Kyo pushed his way past the other cursed members of the family, right up to the dragon doctor.
"Relax Kyo. Tohru is fine and recovering well. She's right through there and she is expecting you." Hatori pointed towards the door to Tohru's room.
Walking over he timidly knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Tohru's sweet voice sounded like music to his ears. He opened the door and shut it behind him before he turned to face her.
"Kyo?" Tohru asked hopefully.
He went over to and sat beside her bed.
"I thought you left." She whispered
"I did, but when Yuki told me what had happened, I couldn't stay away. Know if you'll let me go for a moment I have a bastard to kill."
"NO!" She cried latching onto his arm. "I have a better idea but I will need your help."
"Does it involve killing Akito?" Kyo asked sceptically.
"It will, eventually." Tohru gave Kyo an evil grin.
"I am so in." he smiled.
They sat in that room planning what they would do to Akito once Tohru was well enough. It would be a few weeks yet but that is also how long it would take to get things in place.
Revenge never felt so sweet.
"That's a long shot. Think you'll be able to pull it off?"
"Hey, is the pope a German?"
Kyo was thinking. "I don't know so I'll have to take your word on that. What kind of crap are they feeding you in this place?"
"Just enough to keep up my energy. Gee, you'd think that they thought I never ate."
"Well, I'll go get us some real food and be right back."
"Okay." Tohru smiled up at Kyo, who leant down and kissed her forehead.
"I really do love you, you know that right?"
"Would I say that I love you too, if I didn't mean it?"
Kyo smiled back at this before promising to be back in a few minutes.
As Kyo left Tohru sat back against her pillows and fell into a blissful sleep full of dreams about when times were happier.
---
"So how is she? She refused to see anyone other than Shigure and Hatori until you got here." Momiji cried, waving his arms in a desperate bid to get any new news on the onigiri girl.
"She's fine. She really is. I'm gonna go get us a bite to eat."
Kyo picked up his discarded coat and walked towards the door. Little did he know that there was someone outside waiting just for him.
---
Kyo started walking towards the exit, that was at leats until he started to hear footsteps behind him. They were light but they were there. Picking up the pace, the follower did so too. His heart started to beat louder and louder, blood pumping through his head. It was like a game of Simon says. What ever he did the follower did the same. Kyo had never liked anyone copying him, so having had enough of this, he turned around to face his assailant. But there was no one there.
Sighing relief, he turned around to continue. But the moment he saw the face of the copy-cat (or so to speak) they raised a hand and knocked him unconscious. Kyo fell to the ground with a soft thud.
The assailant dragged him into a near by room by his foot. A note fell out of his jacket pocket, but the kidnapper was too busy to notice.
---
It had been several hours since Kyo said he was going out for a bite to eat. Tohru was now allowed to get out of bed and walk around. She was panicking because Kyo was not back yet.
"What if something's happened?" She asked Shigure, her voice laced with worry.
"I'm sure he's fine. He might have just gone to do a few things while he was out." He offered hopefully. The truth was that everyone was worried. No body had seen the cat since he had left the infirmary. He hadn't even been seen leaving the main estate, so knowing how worried Tohru was, Shigure got Hatori to send out a search party.
It may seem a bit extreme but even though he was the cat, he was still family.
(A/N) okay so here is chapter two. Sorry for taking so long but here it is. Please review!
