The members of the Juunishi and Akito were sitting on a bus, currently in the middle of nowhere, going to the airport in Tokyo. They were about an hour into their ride. It was raining cats and dogs (hehe...Shigure and Kyo). Kyo was sound asleep on the seat next to Kagura, looking pail and weak.
Akito turned to Kureno who was on the seat next to him. "Why is Kyo here?" he demanded. Kureno just stared at him, not sure of what he was asking. Akito repeated, "Why is Kyo here?" only this time much louder. The bus grew quiet. Akito was getting mad, because no one was answering him. He shoved Kureno out of the seat and he fell into the aisle. Akito got up and walked over to the seat where Kagura was sitting and Kyo was sound asleep.
"Move." he yelled at Kagura. Kagura looked like she didn't know what to do. Sit there and get hurt or move and let Kyo get hurt. She got up and sat next to Ritsu. Everyone was staring at the two, when Akito raised his hand and smacked Kyo, so his head slammed into the window. Kyo jumped up, "What the--" Kyo yelled but didn't have time to finish his sentence, Akito hit Kyo again.
"What (hit) are (hit) you (hit) doing (hit) here? (hit)" Akito yelled, and with each word he hit with more force.
"What are you talking about?" Kyo yelled, trying to dodge Akito.
Everyone realized what has happened, but Akito explained, "Since when are you a member of the Juunishi?" Kyo stood there realizing what had happened. He stood there opening and closing his mouth like a fish, not sure what to say "Get off this bus at once!" Akito screamed at Kyo. The bus driver stopped a while ago, to see what was going, on but nobody noticed. Kyo looked around at the others on the bus; they just stared back at him. Kyo mutely stumbled off the bus, and into the rain.
Kyo felt someone call his name, he didn't turn around. They called his name again. Kyo turned around already soaking wet with rain. Shigure was standing there with an umbrella, "Kyo," he said, "I only have a minute to talk but here's what you're going to do. You're going to take this umbrella and walk to the nearest shelter. There you will call up Kazuma and tell him what happened and he will come to pick you up, wherever you are. Then you will call up Tohru and tell her what has happened. Kazuma will take you to Tohru and you will stay with her. Here's 1000 yen (about $10). (Pause) I-I'm so sorry that this has happened, but there's nothing I can do, Kyo. I will call from the airport and make sure you made it back. If I call Tohru and she says that your not there, then I will call Kazuma. If you are not there either than I will tell him what has happened. Please be safe and don't pass out in the middle of the road or anything dangerous. I'm sorry, I have to go." Kyo stood there, took the umbrella and started walking.
He looked back as the bus drove away. Kagura and Shigure were watching him, but the person he noticed was Yuki. Yuki was watching him, not with the expected "ha-a-whole-summer-with-out-that-cat" look, but with a sorry, depressed look.
Kyo turned around and started walking. He put the yen in the pocket of his baggy cargo pants and opened the umbrella which ended up having little dogs all over it. Kyo stared pitifully up at it. "This day couldn't get any more hellish." he said to himself. As if on cue, a flash of lightning stuck in the distance.
Kyo walked and walked. Because of all the rain he could barely stand up, he was so weak. It seemed he had to take a break every ten feet.
After about a half an hour of wondering, he came a crossed a house. A lonely house in the middle of nowhere. Kyo limped up the steps and knocked on the door. He waited for a moment and no one answered. He knocked on the door again, this time more urgently. A sing-songy voice sounded from inside the house, "Come in"
Kyo wasn't sure what to do; carefully he opened the door which reveled a quiet entryway, a stairway leading up, and a door that probably led to a kitchen or living room. "H-h-hello?" he whispered weakly. He tried again a little louder this time, but just a weak, "H-hello?" He shook off the umbrella out side and walked into the house.
A voice sounded form upstairs, "I'll be with you in a sec. Just hold on." A lady ran down ran down the stairs a second later. She seemed about in her forties. "Oh, hello, may I help you?" she sounded a little confused.
Kyo's voice was raspy and weak, "Uh, I was wondering if I could use your phone."
The lady was confused and obviously wanted to know about why he was there and what was going on, "Uh, I would but all the phone lines are down from the storm."
Kyo just stared at her, ready to pass out, "Are you serious?" the lady slowly nodded her head. "Damn it" he swore.
The lady quickly offered, "Is there something I can do for you?"
Kyo started to explain, "Well you see, me and all my relatives were supposed to goon a vacation to America. But half-way to the air port, the head of the family stopped the bus and started beating on my, yelling that I wasn't part of the family. So he made me get off the bus even though he knew I was on the bus when we left...Oh. My. Gosh. He knew. Akito knew. He knew I was on the bus, and he knew I always get weaker in rain. So he wanted me to suffer." the lady just stood there giving Kyo a weird look. Kyo rambled on, " That son of a bitch. Ugh, that...he...bastard..." Kyo couldn't find ending to any of the sentences he was starting. Suddenly he broke off, "Why am I telling you all this?" he yelled at the lady. The lady just stared, Kyo turned around, "Never mind. I don't care. Thanks for the help." he spat at her.
The lady wasn't sure what to do. She closed the door and went back upstairs.

"Saki?" Megumi asked Hana telepathicly, "Saki? What's wrong?"
Hana was staring ahead, it was about four o'clock in the afternoon. "Someone is weak." she answered, "Someone is very weak. I'm not sure who." she said. "A Sohma." she said. Megumi stared at her, she said quickly, "But they're supposed to be leaving to America. They should be in Tokyo by now. If I can still feel the waves of a Sohma, then that means that person is relatively close by. But he's weak. He's very weak. What is a Sohma doing here and why is this person so weak? Megumi, I'm going out. Tell mom, dad, and Obaba that I'll be back soon." she said quickly.
With that said, she grabbed her coat and an umbrella and left the house.

Kyo could hardly stand now. He was walking along the side of the road and collapsed. He was breathing hard, like he just ran a marathon. He wanted to just pass out, to just collapse and lay there to die. His whole body hurt. Partly because of all the rain, but also because of the beating he received by Akito. There were enormous black and blue bruises all over his body. He got up and stumbled over to a ditch. 'I'll only rest for a little while.' he though, 'I'll only rest for a couple minutes and then go to Tohru. Ahh, Tohru. Tohru. Tohru. Tor-' and he passed out.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Kyo lay there in the ditch, four hours later. Someone was calling his name, "Tohru?" he mumbled.
"Kyo-kun. Kyo-kun. Kyo. Kyo, wake up. You need to wake up. We need to get you to a doctor." Hana spoke softly to him, "Kyo. Kyo, it's me, it's me Kyo. It's Hana."
"Hana?" he said weakly.
"Yes Kyo. It's Hana. Now we need to get you to a doctors." she whispered to him worry like. She set down her umbrella so she could use both hands to help him up. Kyo finally got up and slumped against Hana's body.
Kyo's eye's shot open and took a couple steps away from her. All he could think of at the time was 'Ohmygod, I didn't transform. I didn't transform. OhmyGod. I should've transformed by now. I'm terribly worn out which should've made me transform, but I didn't. Then I fell against her and I didn't change. What could this mean? What could this mean? Is the curse broken?'
Hana was staring at him, 'His waves are so loud. What is he talking about. He's keeps saying he didn't transform...he's really sick, I need to get him to a doctors.'
Kyo fell over because he didn't have anything to help stand him up. Hana helped him up once more, and they started walking in the direction of Shigure's house. "No!" Kyo suddenly said, "No" he said again. "Were going to Shishou." and pulled her in a different direction.
'Who's Shishou?' Hana thought, 'Well, he seems to know where he's going.'
A while later, Kyo was basically out of it. He couldn't talk or stand up straight or anything. He was just slumped against Hana's body and walking toward the dojo. Hana saw the main house in the other direction.
"Kyo," Hana asked the Kyo who was ready to pass out, "what is that place over there?"
Kyo lifted his head, just enough to see where se was pointing to. "The main house." he rasped out.
'the main house?' she thought, 'the main house for who?' Before she could ask Kyo these questions they arrived at the dojo.
Kyo whispered to Hana, "Just knock on the door." Hana knocked. A moment later, a man opened the door. He had short hair and a long kimono on. He saw the limp Kyo leaning on Hana. Kyo passed out in front of Kazuma and Hana collapsed under the weight.
"Kyo!" Kazuma effortlessly scooped Kyo off the ground and held him in his arms like a baby. "Oh Kyo," he said again, not caring what had happened at the moment, just worried about Kyo's health. Kazuma turned around and headed into the dojo. He made the hand gesture which told Hana to follow.
Kazuma laid Kyo down on the couch. Hana stood in the doorway. All Kyo was able to say, "Shishou, I can't go to America. I'm not a Juunishi." Hana just stared at the two, as Kazuma tried to comfort Kyo.
