A/N: Muaw ha ha ha! I'm back with a new chappie! So good news for you guys is that I've managed to lock my ideas in a cage and keep them there so that they won't get away from me again. Er… they're fast. Anyways I'm still open to suggestions though, so if you got any, lemme hear em! I've noticed that I've gotten in to the strange habit of opening a lot of scene changes or breaks with a character speaking, depending on what's happening. Strange, I'm not sure why. Important: Before I said that this fic is based on volume 11 and up, but I made a mistake. What I meant was that basically everything has happened the same before that volume, and that after that may be tweaked. This is actually really based (time wise) on volumes 14 - 17ish. As I've said, it's getting cold so that means they are in October/November ish of their 2nd year. It will go farther, but I'm only saying this because of Momiji. In this story he's got to hit that growth spurt, which at the moment he's about as tall as Tohru and Catalyna, maybe a bit taller (remember they are the same body type and height).

Chapter 12: No Chance

"I know it was one of you."

Akito stood before the kneeling forms of Shigure and her mother Ren. After Angelo and Vanessa had made it known that they were being told Sohma secrets, she had suspected the two people before her and so informed them to meet her the next day. She had just got through explaining the situation to them, and now was going through the accusation process.

"You really think," Shigure began as he eyed the god in disbelief. "That I would tell someone these things? Especially murderers?"

Akito watched him suspiciously when his expression showed true worry. She knew very well that it was a habit of Shigure's to toy with people, but she also knew that regardless of this habit, he would stay loyal to the family.

"Akito," Shigure spoke again. "I would never tell anyone." He said in a serious and firm tone.

Akito allowed her eyes to float over to the erect, but calm, form of her mother. "Ren, it was you, wasn't it?" She asked in a deadly whisper.

"It was not me!" Ren's calm demeanor dropped instantly and she stared wide eyed at her daughter. "If I were to sell you out, I would not be secretive about it!" She yelled as a psychotic expression consumed her face.

Akito nodded as she knew this was true. "Yes, how foolish I am to think you would back stab me." She slowly began to pace and she added an after thought. "You, Ren, would have no reason to hide anything. It's no secret you hate me enough to destroy me."

Ren smiled and nodded in a daze. "I do hate you, Akito. I am not telling anyone secrets about the Sohmas."

Akito gazed out of the window, racking her brain for another person who would possibly be sadistic enough to tell outsiders about the secret. She knew Tohru would not, no matter how much she wanted the girl to be evil, she just would not tell anyone.

She looked down at the two forms, then waved her arm and turned her back to them.

"You're excused; I'll figure this out myself."

The bell sounded as Yuki opened the door to the watch shop and stepped in. He saw the same old man at the counter once again, but this time looked at him more clearly. He had short completely gray and thick hair that hung at his shoulders, and he wore a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with the store name on it, and as Yuki seen the man was sitting on something behind the counter, the man looked very short.

Alright, let's do this. Yuki gathered his thoughts as he cautiously stepped over to the counter, unacknowledged by the old man. Yuki watched as the old man continued to read something and it was starting to annoy him, so the prince cleared his throat and the old man looked up at once.

"You!" The old man spoke as he pointed a finger at Yuki. His voice was very strong and sounded young. "You, get out of here!" The old man got off of his stool, revealing himself to be very short (as Yuki had suspected) and tried to walk in to the back room.

"Wait!" Yuki followed him and the old man stopped halfway in to the room.

"You brought her here!" The old man turned and looked up at Yuki with a glare. "You are not to come here anymore!"

Yuki grabbed his wrist to stop him from leaving and said in a low tone. "Look, I'm here to find out about this woman, Vanessa." Yuki seen the man stop trying to get away and so let go of his wrist. "I assumed you know a thing or two about her, since you fled the second she walked in."

The old man sighed. "Look, kid." He looked at the floor and then up at the teen. "If you're looking to find out more about them, I suggest you forget about it. You don't want trouble with those kind of people."

Yuki panicked as the old man turned around to leave again, and so spoke again to stop him. "My friend is in trouble! I have no idea what's really going on except that this Vanessa, "Yuki watched as the old man turned to him again, then he continued. "Wants to kill my friend."

The old man shifted his eyes around the shop, and then beckoned Yuki to follow him in to the back room.

Yuki followed and seen that this back room was not very large. It was only about three quarters of his bedroom, and as he looked around it looked as though this was the place where the watches were kept. He watched the old man place a watch on a table in the middle of the room, noticing in the corner behind the man were many boxes labeled with brand name watches such as Rolex, Gucci, Fossil, etc.

"We shall not exchange names. " The old man said as Yuki continued to stare at the boxes. "If anyone asks questions, there will be no name to give."

Yuki drew his attention away from the room and nodded to the old man. "What do you know about her?" He cut right to the point.

"I know," the old man said as he took a seat at the table and motioned for Yuki to do the same. "That The Lorenzo's are no family to get involved with." He folded his hands neatly on the table and then continued. "Once you get in, it's nearly impossible to get out alive. I know this because I had a stupid brother who got involved with them."

Yuki nodded to show he was listening.

"This family," the old man looked around the room, searching his mind to find the right words. "I don't know what they do. They probably sell drugs or something, but I know that they also run some sort of shops out in America." He looked at the eager expression on the teen and so continued. "My brother disappeared for three months. He was found washed ashore a river some few cities away from here. Basically, he was sleeping with the fishes." The old man waved his arm in a direction to show this fact. "And you know why they killed him?"

Yuki shook his head. "Why?"

"Because," the old man narrowed his eyes. "He ripped them off for money." He leaned forward and spoke quieter. "This though, was a long time ago. This was when someone like Vanessa Lorenzo was sent out to do the dirty work. But since then, she's moved up all the way to the top bosses, so for her to be out here on the field again," He shook his head with a fearful expression. "Whoever your friend is must have done something really bad. I don't think they have a chance with these people."

Yuki looked at the man in confusion. "Really bad?" He asked, dreading the answer. "What do you mean?"

The old man's eyed widened and he leaned back against the chair he was seated on. "They don't send out a boss to do dirty work. Your friend must have really pissed them off," He shook his head again and he closed his eyes. "I remember some years back, there was a case of suicide with some…. I think the last name was Sohma."

Yuki's eyes widened and he stayed quiet to hear more.

"This Sohma woman was found dead," he opened his eyes to look at the teen again and then pointed his index finger at him. "I only remember this because it was a lie, and because I seen her with her son." The old man reached in to his pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. "Her son had the most odd hair color; bright orange." He shakily stuck the cigarette in his mouth and lit the end. "I remember thinking 'how in the hell would you let a kid that young paint his hair?' But, that's beside the point."

Yuki scrunched his nose as the smoke floated over toward him. He knew that it was Kyo who the man was talking about. Who else has orange hair in the Sohma family? Kisa, sort of, but she's a girl.

"The point is," the old man continued. "It was not suicide, it was murder. I know it was because I watched Vanessa and her stupid cousin Angelo, watch her and follow her for weeks before she supposedly," He held up his fingers in quotations. "Committed suicide."

"Wait," Yuki stopped him before he could go on. "Who's Angelo?"

"Angelo is her cousin, and he looks just like Vanessa, but a man." He shuddered and then continued. "He's real short, bright green eyes like his stupid brother…"

Yuki interjected again with the mention of the brother. "Who's his brother?" Without directly hearing everything placed correctly, he was starting to piece the mystery together. He knew Angelo had to be the man who punched Kyo, because he remembered seeing his face; he really did look just like Vanessa.

"Who was his brother…? " The old man corrected Yuki and then continued. "I don't know the whole story, but his younger brother Xavier disappeared a few years ago, and hasn't been found. I honestly think he's dead…. Probably killed by rivals."

Yuki waited for the man to continue, and he when he did not he asked another question. "Why are you willing to tell me this? Are you not scared of them?"

The old man eyed him and then answered honestly. "Look at me, I'm old." He pointed to himself. "When my time comes, I'd rather not regret keeping information that could have saved another."

Wow, Yuki thought, an old man trying to atone before his death…? Maybe… Yuki then asked a final question, one that he feared the answer to. "What kind of things… will they do…..if the bosses were sent out to get my friend?"

The old man shook his head and looked away as his expression changed to one of disgust.

"Let me put it this way…..if you've ever had a burger, don't even think about what's in the meat."

After awkwardly trying to thank the man for talking to him, Yuki left the watch shop feeling sick with worry and set out for home. He didn't know what he should do next, he was afraid to make any sort of move. So much information…should I tell her? As he walked along, he debated on whether or not he should run home as quickly as he could to speak with Tohru, or run to Uo's apartment building as quickly as he could and find Catalyna to make her spill what her intentions were. And even though he knew he should be horrified for Tohru's safety, he could not stop thinking about one thing.

Does Kyo even know his mother was possibly murdered?

"No, no no I can't."

After making a mad dash home and away from Vanessa, Catalyna paced in one spot for a couple hours trying to contemplate on what to do. Her mother was not home, and she had been invited to dinner with Tohru. I can't go to dinner, how can I look at those people in this situation? She looked at the clock and seen the time was four fifteen and wondered if Uo was home from work yet. I could just tell Uotani-san to cancel for me, since I don't have any of their phone numbers…

She stopped and looked around at the living room she was in. The briefcase still lay on the coffee table from earlier that morning. She decided to have a peek at the profile of Kyo again, and so picked it up and sat on the couch with it. She looked around and everything suddenly seemed to be swimming and a headache erupted some where in her brain.

"Ow…" She mumbled as she clumsily opened the suitcase with one hand and held her head with the other. The profile lay on the top and so she took it out and then placed the briefcase on the floor. She looked over the profile again, the dizziness coming back as she closed her eyes and tried to make it go away. What the hell is wrong with me? She could feel her face beginning to burn, but ignored it as she looked at the picture of Kyo. He was on a street corner and looked as though he were waiting to cross. It was clear the picture had been taken from a hiding place, and it was reminding her of those investigation movies where people are hired to watch suspects. I definitely can not attend this dinner.

A couple minutes later Catalyna stood outside of Uo's door as she knocked then waited patiently. What am I thinking? She's probably not even home. She turned to walk away just as the door swung open to reveal a very irritated looking Uo in her dirty work uniform that Catalyna had seen on her before.

"Hey." Uo said as her expression changed to one of delight. "What's up?"

"Hello, Uotani-san." Catalyna looked at her as her sight became a little dizzy again. "I just wanted to tell you that I'm not going to the dinner tonight."

"Whoa." Uo said as she stepped out of her door and placed her hand on the girl's forehead. "Are you sick or something? You're burning up!"

"Uh… I don't know." She closed her eyes and tried once again to rid herself of the dizziness.

Uo grabbed Catalyna as she looked like she might fall backwards and pulled her inside the apartment. "Come on." She said as she shut the door and then lead her over to the couch. "Lay down here."

Catalyna did as she was told and watched as Uo ran to her sink in the half living room half kitchen room and soaked a towel in some water. She quickly came back and placed it across her forehead.

"You know what will bring your fever down?' Uo said as she walked over to the door quickly and slid on her shoes. "Soup! I'll be right back; don't get up unless it's for the bathroom!"

Catalyna opened her mouth to protest but Uo was already gone out of the door. She sighed as she looked up at the white ceiling. Yes, this will totally help my guilt…

And as Catalyna lie waiting for Uo, at the home of Shigure another female was being attended to…

"Thank you so much, Hatori-san."

Tohru sat on the couch of the living room and waited patiently as Hatori finished taping up the wound that had been inflicted by Vanessa. Shigure had come home shortly after Tohru had and was accompanied by Hatori, who had been told about the wound. Of course, no one had any clue as to how it had really happened and so Hatori reluctantly did not ask her questions. Kyo had come home about an hour after that and so found Tohru lying on the couch being doctored. He had blushed as he recounted to himself how he had tried to treat the wound, but was stopped by Uotani. Now, Kyo was off somewhere in the house unknown to Tohru and she stood up as Hatori finished.

"Honda-kun, do be careful to not rip open the cut." Hatori began to pack his things just as Shigure entered the room from the kitchen where he had gone to make tea.

"Haa-san!!" Shigure held an extra cup out to Hatori, who looked at it in disgust and turned to picking up his things again.

"Really, Hatori-san," Tohru bowed slowly as Hatori stood up with his things packed away in a bag. "Thank you so very much."

Hatori smiled as she stood up straight and he pat her head. "It's no problem, just be careful."

Tohru bowed again and then slipped out of the living room and up the stairs to her room. I wonder where Kyo-kun is….? The roof, most likely. She closed her door as she entered her room and walked over to her book bag to find her homework. She then remembered that she had none, and so sat on her bed thinking of things she needed to do. Maybe I should go on the roof….

She felt herself blush as she recounted on her 'almost kiss' with Kyo. I really should not think this way; he probably doesn't like me anyways… She had come to accept her feelings toward him, but was not sure what to do except have them and keep it to herself. She was not exactly sure how long she had felt this way, but with the sudden dreams of her past that started a few months back, she had tried to push her feelings away to deal with her other problems.

"Oh well…" She mumbled to herself as she stood up and walked over to her desk. Her attention had been caught by the fact that her papers were scattered all over the surface. "Now what did I do here…?" She asked as she looked over the papers and could not recall making the mess. She looked on the floor as her attention was drawn to a folded up piece of binder paper. She picked it up quickly and opened it, scanning it and seeing that it was a letter she had never given to Hanajima.

"How…?" She asked herself as she seen that the paper was a little bent on the sides, as though someone had held it rather tight.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

Tohru stood still looking at the letter as she said "Come in." To the knocker of her door.

The door swung open and Tohru looked up to see Kyo step in and close the door behind him. "Hello, Kyo-kun." She greeted him politely.

"Hey." He said as he looked around nervously. He had been on the roof thinking and dwelling on the two failed 'almost kisses' between he and Tohru. Okay, just do something. He told himself, because while on the roof he had waited to see that when Hatori left, Shigure would walk him to his car. And as this happened, he made up his mind to go in the house and just try again, since there would most likely not be any interruptions while the two men were outside talking.

Tohru walked over to him with the letter still in her hand. "Is everything okay?' She asked, hoping he was not here to try and get her to talk about Xavier.

"Uh, yeah." He said as he looked up and tried to hold eye contact with her. He felt his face turn red as he spoke again. "I just wanted to … do something."

Tohru raised her eyebrows slightly as she set the letter face up on her bed and then stood in front of him. "What did you want to do?"

"It's uh… it's just that …I uh…" He had not wanted to really say anything, but then it might be too much if he just kissed her without explanation. So he continued as he broke the eye contact and looked around the room. "The other night, when we were …on the couch…I…"

He stopped as his eyes wandered to the letter and seen that it was the one he had read. Oh crap, does she know I read it?

"Yes, Kyo-kun?" Tohru urged him to continue as she watched him start to become nervous while looking at the letter. It was him….he read it.

Kyo looked at her and then glanced at the letter. He turned around quickly and tried to leave the room. "Never mind."

Tohru picked up the letter and grabbed his wrist to stop him. "You read this, didn't you?" She held the letter up as he turned around to face her. "You came in to my room and read my things?"

"You've been hiding things!" Kyo raised his voice as he defended himself. "What did you want me to do? You won't talk about anything!"

She took a step toward him and shoved the letter in his hand. "Read it now. Since I'm here, read it now." Her tone was sad as she sat down on her bed and waited as he scanned the letter.

I didn't even read the whole thing, because of that stupid Rat! He looked at the bottom and seen his name, then read the sentence that he had not been able to finish.

I will tell you only a little and that is that I discovered something in a room, I went in to Kyo's room, and I saw something. I can't tell you what it is, but I'll tell you that it has left me really confused. I don't know what to do.

That was the end of the letter, and so he looked at Tohru. He was confused as to what she had written about, and now he assumed she never gave it to Hanajima because of how she would have been bombarded with questions.

"So," He said as he made an attempt to ask her. "You went in my room?"

Tohru's eyes widened and she shifted her gaze around the room to avoid looking at him. "No." She said with a voice full of denial as she got up and headed straight for the door.

"Wait!" He turned around and pushed the door closed as she tried to open it. Then he leaned against it. "Talk to me."

"Kyo-kun!' She whined as she pulled at the door knob. "Let me out, please."

"No." He said firmly. "Not until you tell me what you found. " He was not mad that she had gone in his room, for he had done the same two times to her.

She pulled at the door knob one last time and then let her arms drop to her sides in defeat. "That's not fair; I'm not strong like you." She looked at the floor and turned to hide her face.

Kyo pushed away from the door and took a step forward so he was behind her. "Tohru, you're driving me nuts." He stated bluntly. "I'm trying to figure everything out and you're just leaving me hanging without knowing the whole truth."

She lifted her head as her heart sank. I'm driving him nuts….I knew it.

Kyo realized he offended her and so grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face him. "Look, I'm sorry. I don't mean you, I mean this situation. Don't you-no!"

He yelled as she quickly stepped forward and hugged him. With the poof and smoke around she managed to run out of the door and down the stairs.

Okay, now to get away! She made to run for the door but was stopped as Shigure suddenly popped out of kitchen.

"Tohru-kun!" He exclaimed happily. "I've been looking for you!'

She stopped and walked over to him. "Yes, Shigure-san?" Please, I need to get away from Kyo-kun!

"You have a phone call." He pointed toward the phone that was laying on it's side.

And back upstairs…

"Dammit!!" Kyo yelled as he paced in his Cat form. I should have known to be careful, damn I'm so stupid! He clawed at the floor in his frustration, making scratches in the wood. This has got to be the hundredth time she's done that. Why, why won't she just tell me?! He hissed and scratched the open door. What in the hell could she have found in my room? I don't keep anything important in there…do I?

He gave up his pacing and so lay down on the floor with his paws out in front of him. I do keep important things…but really important? Or really offensive?

"Honda-san?"

Yuki took a long detour home and was walking in the door about ten minutes after Tohru's phone call. He had decided he might try to speak with her alone, though he doubted she would let anything slip.

"Honda-san? " He said louder again. He looked around and waited for her to reply, and instead seen Kyo rushing down the stairs with a determined look in his eyes. "Where is Honda-san?" He asked as Kyo rushed to the door and slid on his shoes.

"She left." Kyo answered quickly as he made his way over to the door.

Yuki ran up and grabbed him by the elbow. "Where did she go? I need to speak with her right away." Yuki said as seriously as he could, hoping the Cat would leave his temper behind to help the girl.

Kyo shrugged his elbow out of Yuki's grasp. "She went to Uotani's." He grumbled as he opened the door and set out.

"Hello, Yuki-kun."

Yuki turned to see Shigure entering the room with a cup of tea in hand.

"Shigure, why did she go to Uotani-san's?" Yuki asked at once.

"Oh!" Shigure instantly smiled in his dramatic way. "Uotani-san called earlier and said a 'Catalyna' is sick and she could not make it to dinner."

"She's sick?" Yuki asked as his expression changed to one of worry.

"Yuki-kuuuuunnnnn!" Shigure popped in the unsuspecting Prince's face and smiled. "Now I have to call and cancel dinner with everyone!" He sighed dramatically and headed toward the phone.

Yuki did not want to worry about Catalyna in case things turned out that she was in with these people. He decided he would wait until Tohru made it home, which she definitely would because Kyo had gone after her.

"He's really weird, but he reminds me of Tohru."

Uo had made it back from the little market down the street with some soup and a little extra food. Catalyna had protested against the acts of kindness to which Uo laughed and brushed it off while making her the food. Uo had sat and managed to finish her homework while talking with Catalyna, and she had just finished telling her a little about Kureno.

"Weird?" Catalyna asked in confusion. "How is he like Honda-san?" I should just stop asking questions this is going to get worse and worse…

"Well, I told you how he bumped in to me," Uo said as she sat cross legged on the floor and slurped some ramen she had made for herself. "And then he bowed and dropped everything, she would totally do that. Actually, she has but I just can't remember when exactly."

Catalyna smiled weakly. Her fever was down and now she just felt light headed and weak. Her guilt trip was at it's highest and her mind was raging on the subject. How in the hell am I supposed to look these people in the eye? Especially her, she's sitting here and taking care of me like a real friend, and my mom is off doing god knows what. I feel like such an idiot, this is all going to turn out really bad.

Uo placed her empty bowl and sticks on the nearby center table and then sat up on her knees and felt Catalyna's forehead. "I think you'll be ready to go by tomorrow." She got to her feet and took her bowl to the sink. "Maybe you should skip school." She suggested.

Catalyna sat up and shook her head. "No, I can't miss any school. I don't want to." She looked at her lap to avoid making any eye contact.

Uo shrugged as she came back over and sat down again. "Whatever's cool with you."

And down the sidewalk outside of the apartment the Onigiri was being pursued by the Cat…

"Tohru! Wait!"

Tohru was walking really fast toward Uo's apartment building. She had left long before Kyo had, but with his running speed he was just about to catch up with her.

Tohru ignored the yell as she made it to the gate surrounding the apartment building. Then just as he did before with the door, he ran up behind her and pushed the gate closed. She turned around and tried to glare at him in an attempt to make him back away, but he just placed a hand on either side of her and cornered her between him and the gate.

"Stop." He said breathless from his mad dash to catch up with her. "Can you just stop…running from me…"

She looked away and seen there were a few people walking up and down the streets, which meant she could not hug him this time. "Kyo-kun, please don't ask me to talk right now."

"Why?" He asked as he tried to hold eye contact with her. "When are you actually going to talk to me? Do I have to sit here and wait like an idiot?" He looked at their position and realized she might try to hug him, so he removed his hands from the gate and instead pinned her arms down to her side.

"What are you-?" Tohru started as she tried to squirm to get away. "Let me go."

Kyo pulled her toward him and brought his face close hers. "Look," He started as calmly as possible. "That damn Rat told me that some woman claimed to be the one who cut you."

Tohru stopped trying to get away and she looked at him. "Y-Yuki-kun said that?!" She asked with a starting panic.

Kyo nodded. "She wouldn't give him a name, so what is it?"

"Um…"

"Tohru! Orangey!"

Tohru was spared of answering his question as the voice of Uo rang out behind them. Kyo backed off of her immediately in fear of being hit and Tohru took her chance to open the gate and trot over to her waiting friend.

Kyo followed the two girls in to Uo's apartment and looked around. He seen Catalyna laying on the couch underneath some blankets and then remembered that Shigure had said she was sick.

"Lyna-kun!" Tohru kneeled next to the couch and Catalyna sat up immediately in shock.

"H-Honda-san!" Catalyna looked over to the door and seen Kyo standing there. "And Sohma-san!"

Kyo scrunched his nose. I hate being called that…

"Lyna-kun," Tohru patted the girl's lap. "Kyo-kun doesn't like being called that, you should call him by his name."

"Uh…" Catalyna looked at the orange top confused. "Just….'Kyo'?" She asked him uncertainly.

"Call him Kyon!" Uo suggested as she walked over and gave Tohru a cup of tea. "That's what I call him, that or Orangey," She turned and smirked at him. "I think he loves that one."

"Shut up." He said as he walked over and sat down next to Tohru. Uo gave him a cup of tea and he mumbled a word of thanks. "My first name is fine, I don't really care." He said to Catalyna who still wore a questioning expression.

"Oh, okay." She nodded and then looked at Tohru. "What are you doing here? Did you already have your dinner?"

Tohru shook her head. "No, I canceled it." She smiled and then pressed her hand to Catalyna's forehead.

"WAH?!" Catalyna exclaimed and Tohru pulled her hand away in surprise. "Why did you cancel it?"

"Because," Tohru glanced at Uo quickly and then turned back to the girl. "I wanted to come and see how you were feeling."

Oh man! Catalyna felt her guilt trip hit the peak and she lowered her head in shame. "You're so kind, you shouldn't have done that…"

"I tried to tell her no." Uo said as she sat down on the other side of Tohru. "But Miss 'save the world' over here insisted on coming by." Uo nodded her head in Tohru's direction.

Catalyna looked at the two girls. "You really are too kind. I'm not a good person and you are taking care of me…"

"Uwah!" Tohru exclaimed in reaction to her words. "Lyna-kun, you are a good person!"

Kyo looked between all of the girls. Great, here she goes off to lift another's spirits.

Catalyna shook her head. "No, I've done some horrible things to people…" She looked down as hot tears formed in her eyes. "I don't deserve to be treated this way."

"Hey," Uo said as she pointed a finger at the now crying girl. "I was in a gang, remember? What's worse than that besides murder or rape?"

Tohru's head snapped in her friend's direction. Murder…is the worst…. She pushed away the thoughts coming to her mind and turned back to Catalyna.

"But I…" Catalyna tried to protest.

"Whatever you did then," Uo waved her arms behind her to indicate the past. "Does not apply here." She pointed to the floor to indicate the present. "You're not being an ass, so I'm not being an ass." She pointed to herself and then pointed to Tohru. "She'd never turn anything or anyone away for any reason." She looked at Kyo with amusement. "I think he's just along for the ride." She pointed past Tohru at him as he rolled his eyes and grunted.

"Lyna-kun, let us help you." Tohru asked with pleading and sincere eyes. "You are new here, so you need all the help from us that you can get!" She smiled at her happily. "Now let's take your temperature and we'll go from there…. Uo-chan, where's the thermometer?"

Catalyna nodded subconsciously as her tears ceased. I'm done. That's it. I'm going to make sure they don't harm these people, it's just not fair….

…I won't let these people be the reason they get locked up.

A/N: Okay, that one took me longer than I thought it would. I've started pounding on the ideas and they keep coming in truck loads. I've basically got this whole thing planned out, but I'm still open to suggestions! I am working on more romance between Kyo and Tohru, and trust me there will definitely be more. I have another couple to work on though too, and I'm not telling who it is, you have to guess! Oh! I wonder if you guys can guess who another couple will be?? Guess guess guess! Now show me some love and send me some feedback!! And suggestions and guesses and yeahhhhh!! Review review show me the love!!
