Sorry that it's taken me so long to put up chapter eight. I've just been really busy lately =/ I hope to be able to update faster soon though x And, this chapter is pretty short, yes. I'm stuck for ideas right now so any help would be greatly appreciated ^.^ Anywayy, on with the story x

Chapter fixed.

Eight pairs of eyes turned to look at Akito. Everyone was silent as they looked upon the 'beloved god.'

"What have you done to my brother?" Akito asked, his tone calm yet harsh. It made Tohru flinch.

"I-I didn't do anything, Akito-san. I would never harm Rei..." Tohru said quietly, shaking visibly as Akito drew near.

"And why would you never harm Rei? Because you love him. You do don't you! That's why you were going out on a.... a date!" He spat the last word as if it were something disgusting. Ignoring the quiet protests of Kyo and Yuki, he drew closer to Tohru until they were face to face. "My brother would never date scum like you. You're a bitch that is determined to ruin our bond!!" With that, Akito slapped her face, digging his nails in as he did so.

"Tohru!" Four voices called out as Tohru hit the floor and Akito screamed, repeatedly hitting her head on the floor whilst screaming about 'the bond'. As everything began to grow dark for Tohru, Akito was pulled off of her by Shigure whilst Hatori and Ayame held the others back.

"Tohru. Tohru wake up." Kyo and Haru bent by Tohru, shaking her.

"That will just make her worse guys. Leave her be. I'll take care of her." Hatori said, his voice ringing with authority. Akito had been locked in one of the spare rooms so that no-one else was hurt.

"Why is he even here? How did he know where the hell we were?" Kyo basically shouted at Hatori, his eyes narrowing suspiciously at Shigure.

"Why do you always assume it is my doing?" Shigure asked innocently, sighing.

"H-He hurt her, didn't he...?"

Everyone looked up, shocked. They looked at Rei who had just woken up.

"Yeah, and now she's unconscious because of you!" Haru replied angrily, glaring at him. "I hope your happy."

"I didn't mean for her to get hurt, Haru." Rei retorted, his face full of pain that was both emotional and physical.

"That's what you said last time." Yuki hissed, glaring in Rei's direction.

"And I meant it that time as well. Why would I want to hurt Tohru?"

"You know Akito wants her dead." Momiji whispered, at tear falling down his face. "He doesn't like the fact we are all so happy around her."

"No-one asked for your opinion, brat." Rei hissed.

Haru cursed loudly and his fist came into contact with Rei's face. "Don't talk to him like that. You're not perfect you know. Momiji cares about what happens to Tohru. Just like I do and Kyo and Yuki. Hell, basically everyone cares about her apart from you and Akito it would seem."

"I do care about her! It's hard not to. I love Tohru alright! So just shut the fuck up and stop taking your anger out on me because of something my stupid brother did!" Rei screamed, shocking everyone.

The room was silent for a while, all eyes on Rei as he tried to calm himself down, doubled over in pain.

"Calm down everyone. Rei needs his rest and you all need to stop acting like Tohru died. She'll wake up soon enough. Now all of you, OUT." Hatori commanded as he picked up Tohru and laid her on a sofa which had been brought in a few minutes ago. Everyone left, muttering to themselves.

"She will be okay, won't she?" Rei asked, his voice shaking.

Hatori nodded grimly. "I just hope there won't be any permanent damage." He sighed and then he too left the room.
