Chapter 16: I've Seen Worse Things

"It was suicide?"

"But why?"

"Like the mother?"

"But there were different prints on the gun."

"There's a note to the Cat, it must have been suicide!"

"But someone said they saw someone leaving the house!"

The young middle school boy Hiro Sohma slipped past the crowd of people gathered around the crime scene at the Sohma estate. Everyone was buzzing about the death of Kyo Sohma's father as he crept to the hole in the wall to follow the ends of long black hair as they whipped out of sight.

She's running off again. He knew Rin Sohma was going through a lot of things alone, and since he seen her get pushed out of the window he had been trying to follow her and aid her in any way possible.

He slipped out of the hole unseen due to the darkness of the night. He looked around the deserted sidewalk and seen her walk in to a park that was down the street.

"Rin…" The soft thuds of his feet pounding on the cement were unheard by anyone beyond the wall as he ran after her. Once in the park he looked around at the deserted place; where had she gone?.

"WAH!" The boy exclaimed as a hand shot out from his right and pulled him behind a nearby bush. His knees hit the grass as the female voice spoke behind him.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Rin grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him roughly off the grass and turned him around with a scowl that made her look quite disturbed. "Stop following me!"

Hiro looked at her; she looked a little more healthy than she had been, but he could imagine she was freezing and would most likely get sick with the outfit she wore. She had a black long skirt paired with a black tank top; goose bumps were popping up all over her bear, pale arms. He looked up at her and tried to look her in the eye, but she turned to the side and folded her arms.

"Rin, you shouldn't be going out at night." He began. "That man was just found dead and they think it might be murder! They could still be lurking around if it was-"

"And you care, why?" She turned to him as her scowl disappeared to be replaced by a look of false humor. "Like I've said before, just because you seen Akito push me, doesn't mean you have to act like some 'protective follower' or what not…"

Hiro looked around for a moment, then decided to bring up the taboo of Haru and hope for the best. "You already have a protective follower, and his name is Hatsuharu Sohma and he misses you-"

"Don't talk about Haru!" Rin yelled as she grabbed Hiro by the front of his shirt and pulled him toward her face. "He doesn't need me and I don't need him!! So he can move on and you can all enjoy your happy little-"

Crack.

Rin stopped yelling as they both turned their attention to some nearby bushes where the sound of foot steps could be heard. They looked at each other and then at the same time dropped to their knees and out of sight.

"It might be the murderers!" Hiro hissed as Rin's long hair hit his hand and almost got tangled in his fingers. "We should go back, we really shou-!"

"WHA-!"

A strong arm shot out of the bush and grabbed Rin by the shoulders, pulling her through the rough sticks and twigs and away from Hiro.

"Rin!" He screamed as he got up to run through the bush, but he was grabbed from behind by a woman.

"Hiro Sohma the sheep…" The low voice hissed in his ear as the woman covered his mouth with her hand and held him still with the other. "You're going to wish you just stayed home…"

"AHH!"

He tried to struggle away as he heard the thud of a body hit the grass behind the bush and Rin's scream ring out in the air. But as he tried to squirm, the woman threw him violently to the ground and he landed on his back with a thud.

"Now, Hiro, the sheep of the zodiac…"

He looked to her face but grew more frightened to see she had some kind of black mask covering her identity. A silver glint caught his attention as she pulled a knife out of her pocket and pointed it at him.

"I'd like to give you a message to send to Tohru Honda…"

"I guess that makes sense."

The following morning at the home of Shigure the high school students, minus Kyo, sat together at the eating table accompanied by the adult Dog. After the call about Kyo's father's death, everyone gathered in the living room to hear the news from Shigure who had received the call from Hatori. They were all told that he was found shot in the head with a gun next to him, so it could be suicide. Everyone gave Kyo side glances, not sure what to expect from him. To their surprise he walked away calmly and went off to bed without a word to anyone. But it is now the morning and Catalyna, who had slept through the entire thing, was being informed of how Kyo may not care because he considered Shishou (who they told her about too) his father.

"I wonder if he'll attend the funeral." Yuki said as they all sat silently. "Where is he anyways?"

"On the roof." Tohru answered as she patted her school skirt and sighed. "I hope he's alright…"

"I don't know what I would do…" Momiji spoke up from beside Shigure. "If my mom died what would I have to do?"

Catalyna nodded, as he had told her the night before ,when she woke up around one in the morning and was shocked to find him sitting by her, about his mother rejecting him.

"Maybe we should stay home." Haru suggested from beside Yuki. "I don't feel like going to school anyways…"

"I don't want to either." Catalyna agreed as she sat in one of Tohru's uniforms uncomfortably. "I don't think I can handle this short a skirt." She blushed from the embarrassment.

"It's okay Lyna-kun," Momiji reached his hand out and placed it over hers as it was resting in her lap. "I'll stay here with you if you want."

Catalyna nodded as Tohru stood up with a look of determination. "Even though I want to stay home, I must go to school! I will try my best when I return home!"

Yuki and Haru stood too and followed Tohru as she marched in to the living room for shoes while saying to herself "Tohru Honda never gives up!"

Shigure stretched his arms out and yawned. "Kyonkichi probably won't go to school either…" He looked at Catalyna and smiled. "Are you feeling better than last night?"

Catalyna nodded and smiled as they heard the door open and Haru call out that the three of them were leaving.

"Good, I'm glad." Shigure nodded and stood up as he scratched his arm. "I don't know what you're going to do about your mother, but you can crash here again if you're afraid to go home."

"Yay, again!" Momiji smiled at her.

She shook her head politely. "I have to go home tonight, I'm sure it will be fine, I'll just act like nothing happened."

Seeming satisfied with her answer Shigure turned and walked away to work on his latest manuscript.

"Kyo's Shishou is coming over today." Momiji told Catalyna as she sat looking off somewhere. "You'll like him, he's nice."

"I always wanted to meet a Karate master." She admitted as she turned back to Momiji, a sudden thought coming to her. "Do you think one of us should…go check on Kyo?"

Momiji's expression turned worried as he thought for a moment before answering. "I think we should, but I'm not going to cause he'll probably hit me and tell me to go away."

Catalyna nodded and then stood up. "I'm going to check on him, it's not fair to leave him alone feeling … I don't know what he's feeling," She walked toward the living room. "But it doesn't matter. It's not right to leave someone alone like that."

And on the roof Kyo sat alone…

Kyo looked out at the trees as he had the night before, many mixed feelings swirling inside him…

How should I feel…?

He tugged at his black cargo pants and then scratched his stomach under his plain white t-shirt, trying to place his feelings in a category. I should feel sad since he's my biological dad, but he never raised me…I shouldn't care at all…

He had not slept too well and did not care to attend school and get told off by people for being grouchy. All night he had dreamt about getting a call that Shishou had been killed, not his real father. It was enough to frighten him to get out of bed at around four and begin his day.

GROWWWLLL

"Aw crap…" He had not eaten breakfast since he wanted to avoid a crowd of people glancing at him. Deciding he ought to listen to his stomach he got up and started to descend the ladder. Just as he made it to the last step he felt something get caught on his juzu beads and he looked up to see it was a nail sticking out of the ladder.

He carefully placed his foot in a way that may help him to keep balance, and then tried to get it off of the loose nail with his other hand..

Bad idea.

"No!" He exclaimed as he lost his balance and fell backward off the ladder, the juzu beads still caught on the nail…

"Kyo!"

Catalyna stepped outside and looked around, unable to see him on the side of the house. She began to walk to where she seen the ladder just as something large whizzed by her and into a nearby bush.

"What the…?" She failed to see what it was and so made her way over to the bush to investigate. "Hello…?" She said as she walked around it..

"AHHH!" She exclaimed and fell backwards as the large paw-like claw swung out at her. She looked up to see the large grotesque form of Kyo, and then relaxed as a thought entered her mind.

That must be his True Form…

She got up and cocked her head to the side as though nothing were wrong. "Hi Kyo, I was wondering-"

"Get away!" His voice rang out at her as he yelled for her to leave, but she did not move and it angered him further. "What the hell?!"

"Wait!"

She watched as he jogged off down a path and out of sight, and then knew what must have happened. I remember Mom telling me that his bracelet was supposed to be a charm…

She walked over to the side of the house where she had seen him run past her, and seen the bracelet on the ladder. Now just don't fall off.. She stepped up and managed to grab the bracelet, and then turned quickly and set off after him.

"Don't worry, Honda-san, he'll be fine."

Yuki stood outside of the student council room at school, trying to console the worried Tohru, along with Haru, Uo and Hanajima. Uo and Hanajima had been told about the unfortunate incident and so did not say anything bad about Kyo.

"Prince Charming is right, Tohru." Uo said as she patted her friends shoulder. "He seems strong, he'll hold up whether he cares or not."

"I for one, am relieved." Hana said as she looked off dreamily. "I was worried you were speaking of Kazuma Sohma. It would be a waste of looks for him to be killed."

"Huh?!" Tohru exclaimed as Uo laughed and Haru nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, he's pretty good looking." Haru said as he looked Yuki in the eye. "Definitely would be wasteful."

"Haruuu…don't look at me and say that!" Yuki warned him as the bell sounded for class.

The other four set off for class as Yuki walked in to the council room to grab his book bag. The rest of the council was also grabbing their things when Yuki noticed the daily newspaper lying on a desk. The headline caught his attention and he grabbed it quickly:

Watch Shop Keeper's Death Suspected to be Murder

"What the hell?!" Yuki exclaimed out loud as all the other council members turned to him in surprise.

"What is it, Yun-Yun?" Kakeru walked up behind him and read the headline. "Aw, I love that shop, how sad."

"Isn't it?" Kimi said as she held her book bag in her hand and walked over to the two. "I go this watch from there!" She held out her wrist to show them. "It's worked for almost eight years!"

"Why are you so surprised?" Nao asked as he went to walk out of the door. "There's been a lot going on; on the news there was someone found dead in some estate, and then there were two people found beat up."

"Beat up?" Machi asked in her quiet voice as she too walked over to peer at the headline. "Who are they?"

Nao scrunched his brow and replied. "One of them is in high school and the other is in middle school, but they didn't say who." He suddenly grew angry and shouted. "Who the hell cares? Tragedy strikes everyday!"

"Chibe-suki!!" Kakeru ran over and pushed the boy out in to the hall way. "Go away! No one wants your bad attitude this morning!"

"That man…" Yuki looked at the picture of the old man with a pang of guilt. They probably killed him because he told me those things…unless they just wanted to..

"What about him?"

Yuki looked at Machi at the sound of her voice, a sad expression taking over his features.

"I …knew him."

"Kimi's sorry, Yun-Yun." Kimi pat him on the arm in a comforting manner. "Were you two close?"

Yuki shook his head. "No, but he seemed…kind."

"President, I'm sorry but we must go to class." Machi turned and began to walk away.

"That's right! Kimi can't be late!" Kimi exclaimed as she pushed Machi out of the way and ran out of the room.

"Kimi!" Kakeru yelled but she was already gone. "Why does she always push you …?"

Machi stood still and shrugged slightly. "I don't know…but we're already late…"

Yuki scanned the picture and then began to look around the room. "Have either of you seen any scissors?"

"Nope, not me!" Kakeru walked over to the door and then pointed at Machi. "She used them last to cut hand outs in half for the culture fest, Machi can find them." He waved to Yuki and left the room.

"Machi, can you help me find the scissors?" Yuki asked politely as he began to rummage through some desk drawers.

"They're right here."

Yuki turned around to see her pick them up off of a desk close to the door and hold them out to him.

"Thank you." He said as he walked over and took them from her. "I'm just going to save this article." He said as he began to cut it out.

'It must be important if you're going through that hassle." Machi said as she watched him cut it clumsily. "What's your connection with him?"

Yuki kept his eyes on the scissors as he thought of something he could say. "Let's just say he told me some things that are very personal and important.."

"Oh." Machi replied as she turned to leave. "I'm sorry, President, for your lo-"

"Ow!" Yuki said as a small amount of blood ran down his finger. "Aw crap…I cut myself." He set the article on a desk and examined the small, but painful cut. He did not realize Machi had pulled something out of her bag.

"Here."

He looked up to see she had a small bandage and some Neosporin in hand and was motioning for him to give her his finger.

He said nothing as he held it out and she applied the ointment to his finger and then bandaged it up in silence.

"Um, thank you." He said awkwardly as he felt his stomach flutter at her touch. "That was nice of you."

She blushed as she let go of his hand when she finished. "It was nothing!" She said quickly as she discarded the bandage wrapper and then turned to leave.

Yuki grabbed her wrist. "Wait, Machi." He let her go when she stopped and looked at him. He smiled at her warmly and blushed a little at his next words.

"Let me walk you to class."

She too blushed but nodded, and so he stuffed the article in his pocket and grabbed his book bag, and then the two set off as he wondered…

…Who else could possibly end up dead…?

"Where the hell is he?"

Catalyna walked down the path as she followed the now fading smell that would lead her to Kyo. As her nose led her off the path, she seen the bright orange hair and then looked around to see he was sitting near a small vegetable garden.

There he is, hopefully he won't run from me.

She cautiously stepped into the clearing and seen small bits of what she could assume was his shirt littering the ground.

"What do you want?"

She looked up from the ground to see he was giving her an unreadable expression. Without reply she walked around the small garden and sat next to him, holding out the juzu beads for him to take.

Kyo looked taken aback as he took the beads in silence and slipped them over his wrist. He looked at her as she kept her gaze glued forward and seemed to be spacing out. A few seconds slipped by of silence and he wondered if she would say anything. When she did not, he spoke as though he were offended.

"Are you just going to ignore it?!"

Catalyna turned to him in surprise. "What?"

"My True Form," He said in disgust. "I'm guessing you knew about it…" He looked away. Another outsider seeing me this way…

Catalyna nodded. "Yeah, I was told." She said casually and she turned back to look forward.

His expression changed to one of suspicion. "And you're just sitting there like it's nothing?!"

She turned back to him and spoke serious. "If you think I'm gonna run away scared, you're wrong; I've seen worse things."

Kyo knitted his brows and looked at her in bewilderment. What the hell is worse than-?

"And you're wondering what could be worse, right?" She cut off his thoughts and he nodded for her to continue. "With the people I had to 'manipulate' in America, there were always crazy things involved…"

Kyo watched as a look of emotional pain came over her expression, but she continued.

"About a year ago, there was this boy named Kendall who I was supposed to talk to," She turned her eyes to a spot of grass, suddenly finding it interesting. "He was a year older than me and he drank and was a drug addict. One day I went over to his place and he was…"

Kyo seen her stop and he urged her to go on. "He was what…?"

"He was thrashing on the floor, screaming that something had taken over him…" She turned to Kyo and raised her eyebrows. "Then this…ghost-like thing rose from the ground and he…died."

Kyo's eyes grew wide and he turned his body toward her. "What did you do?"

"I ran home; but that's not the worst one I've seen." She shook her head and sighed.

"But, you can't beat the smell," He pointed out, feeling it was the worst. "It's like rotting flesh…"

Catalyna let out a short laugh and gave him an expression of disbelief. "Are you kidding?" She shook her head. "Try walking in to a basement, where a psycho mutilated about twenty woman and left them there for about a month! It was the worst, I puked on the stairs before I even seen the bodies!"

Kyo scrunched his nose as he imagined the smell. He could not believe that she had experienced these things; how could someone seem so normal after those sort of events? This girl has got to be off her rocker…

"You think I'm crazy, don't you?"

His eyes grew wide as she voiced his thoughts. "What are you, a mind reader?"

She shook her head. "No, you just wear your thoughts on your expression."

He scolded himself for being so easy to read and then asked her another question. "If I'm not the worst you've seen, then what is?"

A sudden look of fear spread across her features and she turned away. She spoke quietly in reply. "I witnessed…a lot of things…but the one…it…"

He felt a pang of guilt as her fearful expression worsened, so he waved his hand for her to stop. "You don't have to tell me, it's alright."

Catalyna nodded. "I'm still weak when it comes to that memory. When I think on it I end up having nightmares for weeks, or insomnia out of fear of the nightmares."

Kyo nodded, he understood the lengths of nightmares and insomnia. "I know what you mean, there are just some things that cause fear when recollected." No, don't think about it, cause then you'll start talking about it! He scolded himself for allowing his bad memories to come in to his mind. Just change the subject! A question suddenly popped in his head. "Why did you tell us?"

She turned her head and a questioning expression came over her. "What?"

"Last night, you said you hadn't told anyone about your past before." He seen her nod and so he continued. "Why did you tell us?"

"Because, I wanted to." She said without any ounce of lie. "What I've done to people is wrong, and it's time I've stopped." She looked away and side glanced at him. "All of you, are the nicest people I've ever met…"

"Right." Kyo said sarcastically as he suddenly took up a defensive attitude. "You pity us don't you? You seen that we're cursed and so you felt guilt and pity, didn't you?"

She shook her head and turned to him, then she sighed and laughed at his assumption. "No," She said as she stopped laughing. "I pity myself too much to have any left to spare."

"What?" He let her words sink in and then shook his head. "Who says something like that? 'no pity to spare', what the-?"

"Lyna-kun!!"

They both turned to see the worried Momiji just as he threw his arms around the girl's neck, surprising her and knocking her over on to Kyo.

Poof!

Poof!

"M-Momiji-kun?!" She said in surprise as the rabbit clung to her shoulder and the orange cat lay next to her head. "You…startled m-"

"Dammit!" The cat got up and shook his paw at the rabbit. "What the hell's your problem?! You can't keep your hands off of anyone!"

"But, I was worried!" The rabbit spoke up as it hopped off her shoulder and faced the cat. "She was supposed to check on you, not run off with you!"

"Sorry Momiji-kun!" Catalyna said as she sat up. "We started talking and-!"

"You followed me!" Kyo pointed his paw at her accusingly. "I didn't ask for you to come! What the hell-?"

"Kyo."

The three turned and Catalyna looked at a man wearing a robe in confusion. She hadn't seen him before and so stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Um hello, my name is Catalyna and wh-"

"Shishou." Kyo interrupted her and walked over to the man and sat in front of him. "What are you doing here?"

"I forgot to tell you he's here!" Momiji hopped over to Catalyna's side. "You were gone and so I went to look for both of you!"

Kazuma looked down at the cat and smiled. "I came to see how you were doing."

Kyo pawed the ground and answered grumpily. "I'm fine, you don't have to ch-"

Poof!

Poof!

"Lyna-kun, turn around we're naked!" Momiji cried out as the two boys ran behind a few trees with their clothes in hand.

"What?!" Catalyna exclaimed as she waved her hand to clear the smoke.

"They're always naked when they change back."

Catalyna looked at the man who Momiji told her was Kyo's Shishou. She bowed and introduced herself again. "Hi, my name is Catalyna Lorenzo, pleased to meet you!"

Kazuma bowed in return and introduced himself. "Kazuma Sohma, Kyo's foster father." They both stood upright and then he smiled. "So you must be the one Shigure was telling me about before Momiji dragged me away to search for you two."

"Oh, I suppose so." She gave him a worried expression. "If Shigure-san told you my story, I'm sorry. I should have never tried to manipulate your son!" She lowered her head and looked at the floor.

Kazuma looked surprised. "There's nothing to be sorry about, he said you came forward instead of continuing your…what word did he use?…'task'."

"Really?"

"Yes." Kazuma nodded and gave her a weak smile.

"I'm hungry dammit!"

Catalyna and Kazuma turned their attention to Kyo and Momiji walking away from the trees just as Kyo had yelled. They were now fully dressed and ready to go back to the house.

"Um, Honda-san left you some breakfast." Catalyna said as Kyo and Momiji stopped next to her. "It just needs to be warmed up."

Kyo tilted his head to the side. "Why do you call her that, like that damn rat does?" He shook his head and then walked toward the direction of the house. "You can call her by her first name, she doesn't care."

Catalyna winced at his words but followed as Momiji and Kazuma set off after Kyo.

About an hour after school had ended and Yuki and Tohru had gone home everyone in the house spread out a bit. Kyo and Kazuma were having some practice spars in the backyard while Tohru prepared dinner under the watchful eyes of Yuki, Momiji and Catalyna. Shigure had kept to himself in his study and did not even welcome any of the youngsters home, which was odd to say the least. But this went unnoticed as Yuki stood up and tried to help Tohru stir some sauce.

"No, Yuki-kun it's fine!" She said, politely refusing his offer of help. "Just sit and relax."

"I can't believe you manage this place." Catalyna said as she shifted uncomfortably in a chair by the counter. She had been given a short sleeved baby blue dress to wear from Tohru, who insisted she needed something other than a school uniform. At least it's knee length. She patted the cloth covering her lap. "Isn't it difficult? Men can be messy…"

"No, not at all!" Tohru began to stir the sauce that Yuki had tried to help her with. "I mean, the boys can be messy, but it's nothing I can't handle."

"Ha ha, you're messy, Yuki!" Momiji pointed at Yuki from his chair next to Catalyna.

Yuki did not hear the conversation as he watched Kazuma tell Kyo something out of the open back door. All day at school he had thought about the old watch shop owner, and how it was almost an insult to the risk he made in telling him the information to not ask Kyo about his mother's death. He did not care to start a conflict with Kyo, and he did not know what to expect but yelling from him; but it had to be done. So without thinking on it again, Yuki watched as Kazuma told Kyo he would be back and then stepped inside the house.

"Looks delicious, Tohru-san." Kazuma said as he walked through the kitchen and to the living room.

"Thank you, Shishou-san!" Tohru said even though he had already passed through.

Now or never.. Yuki got up from his chair and then headed toward the back door, ignoring the house phone ring and Tohru say she would get it. He walked down the steps and stood behind Kyo, watching him throw punches and practice self-control on a standing board that he always used. He cleared his throat to let his presence he known and the Cat immediately stopped and turned to face the interrupter.

"What?" Kyo asked as his expression changed to the one of anger he always directed toward Yuki.

Yuki folded his arms and looked his cousin in the eye. "I need to ask you something, without you getting stupid and yelling."

Kyo raised his eyebrow suspiciously and then mimicked the Rat's actions and folded his arms too. "What do you want?"

Yuki took that as his non-verbal agreement to not get angry and proceeded to speak. "I don't mean to be inconsiderate of bringing up this sore subject, but it's important so-"

"Just ask me!" Kyo cut him off, quickly losing his patience.

Yuki gave him a disapproving look, but continued anyway.

"What really happened to your mother?"

Kyo felt a strange wave of being caught off guard hit him and he stared at the rat wide eyed. Is he for real? To him, the Rat had no business asking such a question, but he stayed calm and replied. "Why do you want to know?"

"Because, if she was murdered then it all fits together." Yuki said, voicing his theory of how everything seemed to connect.

Kyo looked at him in confusion and disbelief. "What are you talking about?"

Though he did not care to share his thoughts, Yuki decided it best to tell him and so unfolded his arms and stepped near him so that no one else would hear.

"Someone is spilling the family secrets," Yuki began as Kyo looked at him in surprise for lessening the 'required distance' between the two. "And now your father is found dead. I think that it was murder, and that it was those people Angelo and Vanessa. If they killed your father, I can't help but think they had something to do with your mother's death as well."

Kyo took a step back as everything Yuki said confused him further. "Why are you even asking about this stuff?" He suddenly felt angry at how personally invaded he was feeling. "You've heard the rumors about her, they all say it was suicide."

Yuki grew impatient and so shoved his hand in his pocket and pulled out the article about the watch owner. "Not according to this man." He said as he held it out and Kyo took it. "He said he watched Angelo and Vanessa tail her, and then she ended up dead. His son was killed by that family and he was positive they murdered your mother."

Yuki stopped as he watched Kyo scan the article, seeming calm and collected. He was about to open his mouth to speak again, but stopped as Kyo turned around and threw his fist at the board.

CRACK!

Kyo had put his fist straight through the thick wood and then pulled it out, leaving a large gaping hole. Yuki was surprised as Kyo suddenly rounded on him in anger.

"Why are you invading my life?!" Kyo yelled at the Rat, his eyes slit in fury. "Anything in my past is none of your damn business!!"

The sound of foot steps was heard and Yuki turned to see Tohru, Momiji and Catalyna all standing at the back door and wearing expressions of confusion and alarm.

"K-Kyo-kun, please don't be angry!" Tohru exclaimed as she stepped outside and onto the wooden porch. "Please don't fight with-!"

"I've been holding back!" Kyo cut her off without taking his glare away from Yuki. "I haven't tried fighting you for almost a year! Now I'm going to kick your ass for getting in my business!" He stepped forward and grabbed the unsuspecting Yuki by his collar and pulled his fist back, ready to punch him.

"STAY OUT OF MY LIFE, DAMN RA-!"

"STOP!"

Kyo let go of Yuki as Shigure now stood outside of the door, and had been the one who yelled at them.

"There's no time for you two to fight!" Shigure said as he beckoned all of the teens to go inside. "We have to leave right now, so come in and hurry!"

"What's going on, Shigure?" Yuki asked, knowing all too well that this behavior from the Dog was unusual.

Shigure turned with his expression full of worry.

"Last night in the park, Rin and Hiro were found beaten bloody!"

A/N: Dun dun dun! Sorry this one took me longer and it was a little on the uneventful side! Do you guys like Catalyna? Cause I know how I usually feel about OC people and I usually don't like them. IMPORTANT:Okay I have a question for all of you, and I need you to answer in a review so that I can tally it up; have you all read the entire series? I need to know so that I don't write spoilers, and if you've all read the whole thing then I need to know for some stuff in here. If there's anyone who has not then I'll be able to work around that. But for right now just leave me a review letting me know whether or not you've read the whole Fruits Basket series.
