A/N- I really don't enjoy writing an Author's Note after such a long wait for a chapter. Perhaps that's why I don't write many, but here goes nothing. First off I'm sorry for such a long wait, It just life has seemed to take me captive. I'm also trying to balance school and my reading outside of Fanfiction. Thank you for the patience and please keep being pacient.
"I think it's this way," Hatsuharu pointed down a hallway that was an obvious dead end. He paused letting Yuki, Kyo and Tohru look down the corridor. Yuki shook his head.
Kyo looked at Haru skeptically. "Haru, I think you're leading us the wrong way." He leaned against the wall and tilted his head back.
"No, I was there yesterday. Well, I think that I was there, maybe it was at the other end." Haru turned the other way and looked down the dim hallway. Then he turned and stared the other way again. Finally he just shrugged.
"Figures that we would let the dumb ox lead us," Kyo huffed and he turned away from the others.
"Say that to my face, you stupid cat." Haru's face started to look darker as he stared at Kyo. Kyo whipped around and faced Black Haru. Yuki stepped protectively in front of Tohru.
"Haru, you need to calm down." Yuki tried to revert Black Haru to White, while he protected Tohru.
"I'll deal with the sissy rat boy later. Now I'm focusing on the stupid cat." Haru glanced at Tohru. "Then I'll have the lady for myself,"
"Don't bring Tohru into this," Yuki growled at Haru. He looked back at Tohru and pushed himself away from her so he didn't transform.
"Stop acting so brave, rat." Haru growled and started to move towards Yuki.
"Running away from a fight. Are you scared?" Haru's eyes grew even darker as he looked at the smirking Kyo.
"You didn't just say that cat, did you?" Haru whipped around and went into a fight stance.
"Now it gets good," Kyo rolled up his sleeves and flexed.
Suddenly there was a rush of air and Haru fell face flat on the floor. Yuki had kicked Haru straight in the face and he still had his kicking leg in the air. Slowly he put it down.
"What just happened?" Hatsuharu rubbed his head where Yuki hit him. "Why do I have such a huge head ache?"
"Sorry Haru, you went Black." Yuki helped Haru up from the ground.
"What did I do?" Haru asked as he tried to remember what had just happened in the last few minutes.
"Nothing much, though you almost got into a fight with Kyo." Yuki shrugged and Tohru moved out from behind him.
" That would have been fun," Haru out his hand on his jaw and moved it. " You didn't break my jaw, did you Yuki?"
Yuki shrugged again.
"Kyo?" A small voice came from the opposite hallway.
Kyo went stiff and slowly turned. "No, it can't be…"
"Kyo where have you been?" Kagura came out of the darkness and hugged Kyo fiercely. "I've missed you so much! How could you leave me like this?" She started to hug Kyo tighter and he started to turn purple.
"Kagura…" He wanted to say that she was sucking all the air out of him, but he didn't have enough breath.
Kagura swung Kyo against a wall "Kyo!" She screamed. Kyo crumpled on the floor, but he scrambled back up. As soon as he found his feet, he tried to bolt. Suddenly he had a falling feeling as his collar was pulled and he crashed to the ground.
"Kyo, you never call me!" Kagura threw Kyo hard against a door and it shattered.
"Maybe that's cause I don't wanna call you," Kyo shouted behind his shoulder as he picked himself up.
Kagura stared at Kyo. "Of course you want to call me," She ran over to Kyo and put him in a headlock. " I just love you so much that everyday I want to hear your voice. So everyday I wait for your phone call and everyday you don't call me. Kyo I just love you, and I can never stand being away from you." She swung him back and forth; each time she tightened her hug.
Kagura stopped and let Kyo go. Kyo slumped to the ground nearly passed out. Kagura dropped to the floor and looked at him closely.
"Kyo, dear are you hurt, who did this?" Kagura tried to get an answer out of Kyo, but he was still panting on the ground.
"Kagura," Yuki sighed. "You did this,"
"I'm sorry my emotions always all come out at once." Kagura sat on the floor next to Kyo. Kyo had begun to move again and he pushed himself into a sitting then standing position.
" Well that's 4 out of 13, 9 more to go," Kyo rubbed his head and smoothed his hair.
"TOHRU!" Momiji came running, full speed, at Tohru. Tohru barely had time to brace herself before she got hit by the 100 lbs bullet. Kyo tried to make a move to get in between her and Momiji, but he didn't make it. Momiji slowed himself just a little bit before he hit Tohru.
"Tohru, Tohru, Tohru, Tohru!"
*poof*
Tohru lifted the yellow bunny off of her chest.
"Hi! Momiji!" She hugged his little bunny body.
" Why do you have to act so stupidly, you dumb bunny?" Kyo furiously stomped towards Momiji. The little bunny cringed into Tohru.
He whispered to Tohru "Don't let Kyo get mean, Tohru."
Tohru smiled down at the bunny.
"I won't, Momiji."
*poof*
Momiji pushed himself off Tohru and scrambled for his clothes.
"One second, Tohru." He called as he went behind a corner.
"That's eight more left, right." Tohru asked looking at the others. Kyo nodded.
"I'm back!" Momiji skipped from behind the corner.
"Momiji we need to find all the zodiac so that we can tell them something really important. Will you help us?"
"Sure, Tohru, anything to help you."
"We were kinda looking for Rin, do you know where she is?"
"Yep, follow me."
The group followed Momiji down the hallway. Momiji walked next to Tohru telling her about the time Kyo got scared of clowns because of a scary movie that took place in a circus. Kyo kept shouting about how he wasn't scared, he was just cautious of them. The whole group laughed as they went to find the rest of the zodiac.
About 45 minutes later…
"For the last time I wasn't scared!" Kyo yelled.
"Sure, Kyo." Momiji rolled his eyes behind Kyo's back. Kyo was trying to calm down, but he wasn't being very successful.
"Shut up about it, you dumb bunny." Kyo made a grab for Momiji. Momiji jumped behind Tohru, using her as a shield.
"Tohru, he's trying to hurt me!" Momiji looked up to Tohru, then back to Kyo. He stuck his tongue out at Kyo.
That set Kyo off.
"When I get you. I'm gonna, gonna…" He didn't finish as he whipped around Tohru chasing the rabbit. Momiji abandoned his refuge behind Tohru and ran. Kyo circled Tohru and sped towards Momiji. Momiji ran full speed towards the group of zodiac that they had gathered in the courtyard. Momiji spotted Hatsuharu in the group and ran full speed at him. Kyo kept his eyes locked on Momiji, never looking where he was going exactly.
Momiji glanced back and smirked at Kyo. Kyo twisted his face in an even angrier expression. He put on an extra burst of speed.
Momiji ran a few more steps and when his face was just a few inches from Hatsuharu's legs he leapt to the side. Being the rabbit of the zodiac, Momiji had always been great at agility and he was the most agile. Unfortunately, Kyo wasn't the most agile.
Kyo tried to put on the brakes, but Kyo's body slammed full force at Haru. Kyo made a face plant into Haru's stomach and Hatsuharu buckled on impact. Both of them went tumbling back. As Haru fell he tripped over Kureno who also fell to the ground. As Kureno tried to catch himself and he grabbed on to Ayame. Ayame fell forward into Yuki. Yuki then pushed down both Kagura and Kisa. Kisa who was standing next to Hiro fell onto Hiro. Hiro then tried to catch his balance, but he fell backwards into Rin. Rin caught herself on Ritsu and pulled him down.
In the end they fell like a huge domino line and the only ones left standing were Momiji and Tohru who watched the whole mess. Momiji burst out laughing and he too, dropped to the floor giggling.
Shigure came though the door.
"I'm he…" He didn't finish as he surveyed the jumbled up zodiac mess. "Uhhh, Did I miss something?"
Yuki got on his feet and he rubbed his back.
"No it was just the stupid cat being stupid." Yuki said as he stretched his back.
"That's going to leave a mark," He muttered to himself.
" You didn't just call me stupid again did you," Kyo yelled from the ground because he was still hadn't gotten up.
"Shigure, what did Akito say?" Yuki redirected his attention back to the dog.
The dog's face became unreadable in an instant.
"Just wait, little prince, I'm going to tell everybody."
A/N- Next chapter will be about the conversation that Akito, Hatori and Shigure had, so don't be surprised when it comes. I didn't like this chapter very much, but I have to write it so we can get to the good stuff. Please PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! I don't have many reviews on this story and I'm doubting people like it. Just say good work, I'm cool with that.
