CrimzonRoze: Okay, since I've decided that I've ran outta of things to rant about I'm gonna do review replies. Oh and this chapter is named after a song too. ^^

CrimzonRoze: Okay first up is Emalee Roze. You're review makes me giggle to this day.
Twilight: That's not a very nice thing to say!!!
Kyo: AND HEY I DO NOT CUT MYSELF!!!
Yuki: -sigh-
CrimzonRoze: Yea, that was the point Emalee. It was suppose to seem like cliff hanger. Duh. Becuz cliff hanger are fun.

CrimzonRoze: Mysticsky, like I've said up there, Cliff hangers are fun. ^^ Also I would like to address the fact on ur second comment. I really don't see how she's mary-sue ish…I mean she has a lot of issues. When I think of a mary sue I think of this happy go lucky person that can just automatically befriend everyone and make them love her. Also someone that's perfect. So…Does anyone else think she's mary sue-ish? I mean, I honestly don't see how she is, but I haven't really gotten in to detail on some of her past mistakes and all that fun crap. It's only the 20th chapter…Wait! IT's the 20th chapter!! OH MY KIRA!! LET'S THROW A PARTY!!! Lol.

CrimzonRoze: NOOOO Ebony Dagger!! L'S MINE!!! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!!!
Kyo: Oh gawd, it's just an non existing anime charater.
CrimzonRoze: So are you dumbass!
Kyo: …
CrimzonRoze: I don't even see why I put up with you people. I should go hang out in Death Note with all the cool characters. You guys suck.

Twlight: Thanks.
CrimzonRoze: -throws tantrum- L's mine, l's mine, mine, mine!!!
Yuki: Dear lord what have you started Ebony Dagger?

CrimzonRoze: Last, but not least CrimzonBlood, I'm glad it sounds like you r enjoying the story. I'm afraid I may end up dead if I keep procrastinating. (I didn't actually start writing this till last night. -_-)

CrimzonRoze: ENJOY!!!!

Crawling In The Dark

Kyo's POV

I yawned tiredly as I sluggishly walked down the stairs scratching the back of my head. It's been about two weeks…Twilight still hasn't shown up. We've looked numerous places, but she seemed to have disappeared off of the face of the planet. Tohru can never stop worrying about Twilight; she's always on the lookout. I think everyone is slowly losing hope that she won't return. That she'll disappear for another five years.

I groaned, twisting my spine, before entering the kitchen to see Tohru bustling around making breakfast. I walked in rubbing my eye, Tohru, not paying attention almost ran into to me accidently, but I caught her by the shoulders holding her an arm's length a ways. "Careful." I said gruffly.

She blinked then started stuttering. "S-s-sorry. I wasn't paying attention."

"Yea, I kinda noticed."

She nodded nervously. "Gomen again." She bowed, then turned to go back and work on breakfast. Thank god it was the end of the quarter…Meaning they had today and Friday off. So a long weekend.

"Would you like some help with that?" I asked.

Tohru turned around, a surprise look on her face. "Oh no that's fine. I'm almost done…But if you would kindly set the table, I would very much appreciate that."

"Sure." I answered, going to the cabinet that held all the china in it.

Five minutes later the table was set and I was helping Tohru caring out the food, everyone seemed to be drawn out from their rooms (Caves) and was taking seats.

I sat down as Tohru placed the last dish on the table, before taking a seat herself. We said Grace before digging into eat. It was really silent…

"Do you think she's ever coming back?" Tohru asked, worriedly.

Yuki smiled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "I'm sure she'll come back sooner or later."

Tohru seemed to fine little relief in the damn rat's words and continued eating. Nobody talked for the rest of breakfast except Shigure who just complimented the meal before going back to his office to work on one of his perverted romance novels.

Yuki offered to help Tohru pick up and do the dishes. And I thought it was only fair, because I set the table and helped Tohru carry out the meal. I was about to leave when Tohru stopped me.

"Kyo, I need some errands done, But I have a lot of work to do around the house…So if you don't mind…"

"What is it?" I asked turning around.

"Can you go to Tokyo and pick me up a list of supplies." She asked, then seemed to get a little nervous.

"Can't you get them here?"

"N-No, They are only available in Tokyo…Never mind, if you don't want to do it, I'll make time." She said changing her mind.

I shook my head. "No, I'd rather go. Less chance of some pedophile harassing you. Just make me a list and I can do fine."

"A-alright…If you're sure…" She stuttered, as I nodded, slightly agitated. The girl scurried out of the room and came back a few minutes later writing on a notepad.

She quickly wrote down what she needed to and tore the paper of the pad and gave it to Kyo. "Here, that should be all. Oh here's some money." Tohru added pulling out some cash. "There should be a little extra so you can get yourself some lunch if you're out that long." She said bowing before going to help Yuki with the dishes.

I took the money. "Whatever." I muttered heading out the door, slipping on my shoes before exited the house.

I arrived at Tokyo a half hour later, the streets bustling with many people. I weaved my way through the crowd extra careful to not bump into any women. I found one of the stores on Tohru's list and entered it, looking for the item specified. And so it went on. I searched for the items on the list and picked them up. I stopped for lunch, being that I was only about half way through the list. Who knew Tohru did a lot of her shopping in Tokyo…That's dangerous. Then again she may take that damn rat with her.

I sighed running a hand through my hair glad that it had cooled down and the streets didn't have so much of a crowd now that it was almost dark. I walked past a store, the window full of advertisements. I didn't really pay much attention. The store wasn't one on the last…But as I walked by I had this chill run through my body. I blinked but continued on my way, but stopped when the last bit of sunlight hit something silver from in the store, blinding me momentarily.

I looked at the store, slightly surprised and recognized the person at the cash register. It was…Twilight…She was slightly un-recognizable…And I could only see her back…But no one could have silver hair like that.

Twilight gave her money to the man and picked up her bag of grocery turning around giving me a good look of her. She was wearing a dark blue cap, her hair had grown out a little bit and she had it up in her hat, lose strands hung around her face. She wore a brown tank top under a purple low cut t-shirt that said "Prime Rose". She wore jeans accompanied by a belt. On her right wrist she wore thick bracelet thing, on the left wrist she wore a silver spendy looking watch.

I quickly ducked around the corner as Twilight came out the door heading the opposite direction of my hiding spot.

I followed behind her, but not to close…I must look like some crazy stalker holding all these bags. The sun disappeared behind the horizon, black painting the sky, I continued to follow her curious on where she was going.

Twilight's POV

I pulled my hat down to cover my eyes. Nobody's following you-! My mind screamed, but yet it still felt like I was being followed. Every hair on my neck stood on end…I just know someone's watching me. Well I could easily take care of them…The voice scoffed.

I frowned. No. You don't control me.

I shook my head, clearing the presence of 'her' from me. I rolled my shoulders and neck to ease some of the tension as I started to walk on a not so worn path into a small forest. The unease of someone watching me following me as I walked to my home. I kept scolding myself for thinking that someone was following me…I look to be like an average teenager…Why would any want to follow me home…where there's nobody there…DAMMIT-!!

There was a long crack like a stick breaking and I whipped around quickly to nobody there. I looked down to see my foot underneath a two pieces of a stick. I sighed. It was just me. But what I didn't know was there was a boy in the trees cursing to himself on his stupidity.

I continued to walk to my house…It was too far into the forest but it was far enough to be secluded from the rest of the world if I may say. I reached the house shortly, walking up to the deck and that's when my keen senses caught it. One, The breeze shifted, and I could smell them Two: Their breathing was ragged like they were having trouble keeping up with me. (Wind carried that as well) And three: there was another crack from a stick. I tensed up and paused ever so slightly, but then quickly calmed myself, continuing my way into the house. I walked in, shutting the door and walked to the kitchen to place the groceries on the counter. I slipped out the back door which was the best door to sneak out of I had learned, because it made no noise what so ever.

I immediately went into the forest hiding behind a tree, my senses on high. The breeze blew by me again, and I sniffed the air, just like a dog, and smelled the same scent downwind…which would be east…The person is hiding to the east. Okay now that I know the position of this person…it should be easy.

I slowly stalked through the trees weaving towards the back of the forest, thinking that if it was any typical stalker they'd want to be upfront so they could see the person easier…So this way it would enable me to sneak up behind them. I decided I went far enough and went towards the house, hopping I'd come up behind the pedophile. And it turns out I was right. There was…by the built a man standing behind a tree…well from my point of view he was standing in front of the tree…But that doesn't matter…His back was to me, and it was dark so I couldn't see anything really, just the silhouette of his body.

I slowly got down low, thankful that there weren't a lot of fallen branches between him and me, and snuck through the forest. I reached the man and he still didn't sense me, but just as I was about to strike he turned his head ever so slightly finally realizing someone was behind him. A little slow…But I got him, bashing the back of his head with my forearm. He crumpled to the ground easily, screaming.

"DAMMIT!! THAT FUCKIN HURT!!!"

I blinked. Only one person sounded, and swore like that. "Kyo?" I asked genuinely surprised.

"No shit, Sherlock. BITCH!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU HIT ME!!!!" He screeched up at me, holding the back of head…and that's when I realized that there were shopping bags off to the side.

"I-I thought you—" I stuttered then stopped and frowned. "What the hell are you doing here?!?!? How the fuck did you find me?!"

He glared up at me, still rubbing his head. I sighed, knowing that I was gonna regret what I was about to say. "Fine, you can come in the house a little bit and I'll check your freaking head." I muttered walking past him out the forest. "Stupid asshole."

He grumbled to himself getting his bags and followed me inside. I got inside and immediately started light the candles that were placed in various places. "We are you lighting candles?"

"Because I don't have electricity." I snarled…a little too harsh, neh? I walked into the kitchen, surprisingly Kyo didn't answer to my rudeness. Just bore a hole in my back.

I muttered that I was gonna be right back, before jogging towards the stairs and up them to the bathroom to get the first aid kit and then quickly returned back downstairs to see Kyo surveying the room. "Now while I play doctor why don't you sit on the counter?" I ordered going to fetch one of my spare flashlights. Kyo shrugged and followed orders, after setting his bags on the table he went to the counter and sat on it. I came up to him holding the flashlight before clicking it on and flashing it in his eyes. It wasn't a real bright flash light…It use to be used to check if I had a concussion. "Does that hurt?"

"You're shinning a flashlight in my eyes, of course it hurts." Kyo scoffed.

I sighed, then moved the light from eye to eye. "It seems that you have a mild concussion. Do you have double vision?"

"No."

"Okay then you're gonna live." I answered clicking the light off. "Now how did you find me?"

"I saw you in a store and followed you here." He answered simply.

"What were you doing in Tokyo?" I demanded.

He shrugged. "Doesn't matter. I was just here."

I sighed exasperatedly. "So whose house is this?" Kyo asked. "It's pretty nice."

"None of your business." I snapped.

Kyo rose an eyebrow. "Okay…so this is where you've been?"

"No." I said sarcastically. "I've been flying with the monkeys."

"Okay…? Are you coming back?"

"No." I said bluntly.

"Why."

"Because I said so." I retorted.

"Ah, defensive. Now a real reason."

I shook my head. "Nope." And popped the 'p'.

"Well then I guess I'll have to tell everyone where you are…Including Akito."

Now that flared my anger. "Well then I guess I'll have to tie up a certain cat and lock him in a closet." I snapped angrily. "Nobody would care if the Cat went missing. I'm sure everyone would be happy in fact." I snarled, venom dripping from my words.

Kyo flinched. "You're probably right." He said quietly.

I blinked, taking off guard once again. "Wha?"

"I said you're probably right." Kyo said a little louder jumping off of the counter. "Nobody cares. Hell, I'd be lucky if anyone noticed that I was gone, other than Tohru." He said walking a little ways from me, back facing me.

"H-h-huh?" I stuttered confused.

He looked back at me and smiled bitterly. "I guess what you said before you left really hit me…I've been thinking about it ever since you disappeared."

I stared utterly shocked.

"I'm not gonna pressure you to come back, like anyone else at the house." Kyo said picking up his bags and heading for the door me slowly following. "And I won't tell anyone where you're at, just that you're doing fine, because everyone has been terribly worried, `Specially Tohru." He said, opening the door before turning to look back at me. "But if you ever wanna come back…You know where to find us." He said before closing the door, disappearing into the forest, not giving me a chance to reply.
