Kazuma ran into the other room. Hana stood there wondering what to do. She couldn't leave, it was now pitch black outside and storming like crazy. She just stood in a corner staring at the unconscious Kyo. Kazuma ran back into the room with a towel. He started drying Kyo off. Hana could tell he was really worried about him.

'Who is this guy?' she thought, 'They don't look related, besides the Sohma's are in America. But why isn't Kyo?'

She didn't want to interrupt him, so she continued to stand silently in the corner. A phone rang in the background, she heard a voice answer it. 'Is there other people here?' A man walked into the room.

"Kunimitsu," the man said when the other walked into the room, "go get blankets."

The man stared at Kyo in shock, "Kazuma," he said, "w-what happ-"

"Kunimitsu! Go get blankets!" Kazuma yelled at him.

He ran out of the room and reappeared a moment later with about four blankets. He sat down next to Kazuma. "Kazuma," he said to him, "that was Shigure on the phone. He wanted to know if Kyo was here." Kazuma just stared at the pale defenseless Kyo. "Kazuma," Kunimitsu started again, "what happened?" Once again Kazuma didn't answer, he just stared at Kyo, eye's glazed over with tears.

Hana thought this a good time to make her presents known. She spoke up, "Excuse me,"
Kunimitsu and Kazuma looked over at her in surprise, "I know Kyo from school, and found him. My name is Hanajima Saki. Could someone tell me what's going on?"

She could tell Kazuma didn't want to leave Kyo's side but got up and walked over to her. Kunimitsu followed. "I knew a someone came with Kyo, but wondered where she went." Kazuma started. He turned to Kunimitsu, "Kunimitsu, why don't you take Miss. Hanajima into the kitchen and make us all a cup of tea."

Kunimitsu bowed to her and led her into the kitchen. Hana could tell that Kazuma wanted time alone with Kyo.

'Who are these people?' she thought, 'I should probably call home and tell everyone where I am. But...where am I?'

She was about to ask Kunimitsu these questions, but he started talking first, "Thank you for bringing Kyo safely back." he started.

He was about to continue when Hana interupted him, "I hardly brought him back safe. I mean, did you see him? He looks dead." Kunimitsu was about to reply to this when Hana burst out, "Who are you? What is this place? Who's that guy in there? What's wrong with Kyo?"

Kunimitsu chuckled, "I'm sorry. We haven't explained anything to you, have we? Let me start out by introducing myself, I am Kunimitsu Yomoda. I am a student here and also the secretary towards the man in there, Kazuma. Kazuma owns this dojo."

Hana was staring at him, "Then why did Kyo want to come here instead of going home? It's just a dojo."

Kunimitsu smiled understandingly, "It may just be a dojo, but it's probably more of a home to him then Shigure's place." he paused for a second, "Hanajima-san, may I ask you, how well do you know Kyo?"

Hana shrugged her shoulders, "Hardly at all. I'm friends with Tohru and that's the only way I know him."

He nodded, "Well, when Kyo was very young his mother hated him. She still showed her love for him, but she didn't mean it. When she died Kyo's father blamed him for her death."

Hana stared, "So he went to live with Shigure?"

"No," he continued, "he came to the dojo and Kazuma took care of him. Kazuma raised him well, but since Kyo was the ca---err,...everyone, since Kyo was little, hated him. The only one he could open up to was Kazuma. He was like Kyo's adopted father. He lived here most of his life"

Hana was trying to figure out something, 'He was about to say cat. He was about to say Kyo was a cat. Kyo's not a cat. These people are weird.'

Hana timidly asked Kunimitsu, "When we were walking here, Kyo said that the building over there was the main house. And I was wondering, the main house for who?"

Kunimitsu explained, "That's the Sohma's main house. You may not realize it, but the Sohma's are a very big family. They are also very wealthy."

He was right, Hana didn't realize it, "The Sohma's can't be all that big. I went to Shigure's house today to walk Tohru to work."

"There are more then just those fourteen Sohma's."

"Then why didn't they go on the trip too?"

Kunimitsu was looking for a truthful way of telling her without giving away the Zodiac's secret, "Um, well...that's because...uh...that might be a better thing to ask Kazuma."

Right on cue, Kazuma walked into the room. "Kazuma," Kunimitsu said, "how's Kyo doing?"

Kazuma walked over to the stove and poured himself a cup of tea, "Horribly," he said, there was some time before he spoke up again, "I've only managed to get him to talk a little. So far all I know is that Akito started abusing him and made him walk home. And in the rain too. I can't believe that guy. He knows that Kyo will get weak in the rain, then he goes and hurts him like he did. Kyo did not need this right now."

Hana was staring at him, she went back to her tea. She had so many questions but he seemed too angry and worried to be able to answer any of them, "May I go see him?" she asked. He stared at her for a moment, as if realizing she was there. He nodded.

She walked into the room where Kyo lay, deathly white on the couch, covered in blankets. Hana walked over to him. She stared, feeling sorry for him. She reached down and brushed a couple of hairs out of the way. He whimpered in his sleep. A flash of lightning struck outside the house followed by a deafening boom of thunder. The power went out. There was suddenly orange smoke in the room. 'Oh my gosh,' she thought, 'the house caught fire!' she looked over at the couch where there was no longer the outline of Kyo. She didn't know what to do. She ran back to the room where she thought the men were. She missed the door in the darkness and hit a wall. She sunk to the floor, unconscious.
