Chapter 11

Morning came to Shigure's home. Tohru woke up early as usual to prepare breakfast. Kyo came down next to drink milk from the carton. After he filled himself to contentment he went outside to do his morning training routine.

Tohru finished preparing breakfast and decided to make Kagura a basket of goodies to cheer her up. She rolled sugar cookies, whipped up frosting, and baked a cake.

Not too long after she placed these in a basket, Kyo came into the kitchen holding his shirt. He grabbed a muffin off the table that neither Shigure nor Yuki had come to yet and went upstairs to his room.

Kyo changed into fresh clothes. Well today's the day. I can confront Kagura for the last time.

Kyo radiated with happiness. He then entered Yuki's room. Kyo ripped the cover off his cousin and grabbed his foot. With a flick of his wrist, Kyo flung Yuki to the floor.

"Oof!" Came Yuki's voice. Kyo backed off. Yuki was actually stronger in his sleep than he was awake. All he wanted to do was give the rat a little surprise. Besides, Tohru's food was getting cold and you just couldn't trust Yuki and Shigure to get up at a decent hour to eat it when it was warm and fresh.

Kyo wandered to Shigure's room to find the dog not there. Kyo gasped. He couldn't be working on his manuscript. The cat headed towards the office, bumping into Tohru at just the right position to transform him.

"Oh no! Oh dear! Kyo! Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! I should be more careful walking around corners!" The girl flustered, wide-eyed.

"It's okay Tohru, just be a little more careful," Kyo sighed, in cat form.

"Well…Ah, I think we should get going now…I told Shigure where we are going, he's in the kitchen eating breakfast right now…Um…If you want I can carry you, or you can walk if you want…Um…" Tohru rambled.

"No Tohru, it's okay. Just carry my clothes will ya?"

"Um. Okay" The young girl picked up Kyo's clothes and opened the door for him.

"Tohru?" Came a small inquiring voice.

"Hm?" Tohru turned around. "Oh! Good morning Yuki!" She radiated.

"Where are you going?" He mumbled.

"Oh, Kyo and I are going out to see Kagura," She lifted the basket of goodies a few inches higher in one hand, and then Kyo's clothing in the other. "I accidentally bumped into Kyo though." Tohru giggled nervously.

"Okay…Just….Be careful, okay?" Yuki mumbled, his eyes sagged even more and he wandered into the kitchen to get breakfast and begin his day.

His face peered out from behind the corner. "You want me to come too?"

"No, ya damn rat!" Kyo yelled. "We DON'T need YOUR help! Just go put on your pretty-boy makeup and fix your hair or somethin'!" Kyo grumbled up to his cousin from the floor.

"Oh and cat, I haven't forgotten you." Yuki said in a scary voice, shadows looming over his face.

"Let's go Tohru!" Kyo exclaimed angrily.

"Um. Okay." Tohru opened the door once more and stepped out behind Kyo's small cat body.

The two walked through the forest towards the main house. Tohru rambled and chatted about random things. Mostly school, what kinds of new recipes she was eager to try, and that she was happy Kyo had decided to accompany her.

POOF! Kyo's naked human body appeared from the pink clouds.

"Ack!" Tohru squealed as she dropped Kyo's clothes and flung herself against a tree so she wouldn't see anything.

Kyo laughed. "Still not used to it Tohru?"

"No" Her face was bright with embarrassment.

Eventually the two reached the main house. Tohru knocked at the gate.

"Um…Excuse me, but we are here to see Kagura…Please?" Tohru announced.

The guard let Tohru pass, but stopped Kyo when he tried to get in.

"I don't think so, monster."

Kyo fumed. He should have known he wouldn't be able to get in unless Akito called him. He stormed back towards Shigure's house. Tohru took off after him.

"I'll..ah… Be back in a minute. I just want to make sure he's okay."

The guard shrugged. Tohru raced after the orange haired boy and gave him a huge hug.

POOF!

"WHAT'DJYA DO THAT FOR?" Kyo protested loudly.

"Shh!" Tohru picked up her friend and his clothes and stuffed him into the basket she was holding, and covered him with the green cloth that covered the goodies. "Don't move…" She cautioned.

"Um. Hello." Tohru bowed. "I'm back. Just me. Um. Yeah. Just me, a regular student. I'd like to see Kagura Sohma please."

The guard shrugged again and let her through.

Tohru entered and let out a huge sigh of relief. She quickly located Kagura's home just in case Kyo changed back.

The young girl nervously rang the doorbell. Kagura's mother answered the door.

"Yes? Oh hello there! What do you need?" Kagura's mother asked.

"I would like to see Kagura if that would be at all possible…"

"Of course. She's been feeling really down lately, I'm sure she would like your company." Tohru stepped into the home and Kagura's mother pointed her towards the boar's room.

Tohru gently knocked on the door.

"Go away." A flat, strained voice came from the other side of the door.

"Um. It's Tohru."

The door suddenly swung open. Kagura was wearing a big blue shirt that came to her knees. On the floor were ripped up pieces of paper, stuffed animals, pictures, and even a pair of pajamas. All the items had one thing in common. They had cats on them.

Tears strained Kagura's face as she stepped back to allow Tohru in.

"Kagura, are you okay?" Tohru softly asked.

"NO! The love of my life yelled at me and DUMPED me! Of course I don't feel okay!" Kagura flung herself onto her bed and buried her face into her pillow. The basket Tohru was holding twitched.

"Um Kagura. I'm sure Kyo didn't mean it. At least not so mean…"

"So it's okay for him to dump me?" Kagura wailed.

"NO! Oh! No! Of course not!" Tohru flustered. "But Kyo wants to say something to you."

"Huh?" Kagura turned her tearstained face towards the younger girl.

Tohru lifted the orange cat out of the basket and placed him in the middle of the floor.

Kagura gasped. "Just what do you think you're doing here?"

"I'm TRYING to APOLOGIZE to you." A vein twitched in Kyo's head.

"Okay? Well I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so harsh to you. But you just need to know that I don't love you. Now, yes, I am grateful for your friendship when we were younger, but I don't love you like I love…Uo." He said sternly.

Kagura didn't say anything. She just cried and peered at him.

POOF!

Just as Kyo's body returned back to normal, a scream pierced the air, Tohru turned around embarrassed, and Kagura's tears flowed harder.

"YOU! What are you doing to these girls! PERVERT! MONSTER! ANIMAL!" Kagura's mother screamed. She hurled two teacups and a teapot at Kyo.

"What the? No! I just changed back! REALLY! I wasn't doing anything!" Kyo defended himself while dodging the ceramic teaware that was aimed at his head.

Kagura's mother lunged at the boy and hit him on the head with the metal tray that she had carried the tea on. Kyo fell to the floor in pain.

"Ouch, lady!" Kyo rubbed his sore spot. Kyo grabbed his clothes just as Kagura's mother grabbed Kyo's ankle and dragged him down the stairs to the living room.

No wonder she's Kagura's mom. Kyo thought to himself. He struggled against her as she grabbed a cordless phone.

"NO! NOT AKITO!" He yelled.

A grim face was plastered on Mrs. Sohma's face as she dialed the main house's number.

"Yes. This is Kagura's mother. (There's so many Sohmas they wouldn't recognize her name anyway! XD) Yes. No, no. I've called to tell you that the cat is on estate grounds. Yes. I've subdued him here. You should send someone over at once. Yes. Of course. Thank you. Goodbye."

"At least let me put on my clothes." Kyo grumbled.

Kagura's mother kept her hand on his shoulder as Kyo put on his garments.

Within minutes two burly-looking men knocked on the door. Kyo didn't recognize either of them as Kagura's mother opened the door. One grabbed his arm rather roughly. The other gave Kagura's mother a curt nod as the two men ushered Kyo towards Akito's home.

Kyo stayed silent. He'd really done it this time…

"Don't even think about escaping, cat." One of the men shot at Kyo.

"Yeah we'll catch ya faster than you can say 'monster'." The pair snickered.

Kyo glowered at his captors. Before he knew it, he was peering at Akito's bedroom door. One of the big men knocked on the door.

"Send him in. Alone." Came Akito's cold voice from the other side of the brown door. Kyo hated that brown. Such a stupid color. The man who knocked opened the door and shoved Kyo in.

Kyo stumbled for a second, then skillfully regained his balance.

"Ah…Monster…" Akito drawled. He raised himself off the floor, out of the darkness it seemed. Like a venomous spider. Or a bat.

In a split second, Akito had Kyo by the throat against the wall.

"Just what do you think you're doing here, monster? Why are you on these grounds?" The head of the Sohmas snarled.

"I-I I wa-" Kyo spluttered, unable to breathe.

"I asked you a question! ANSWER ME!" Akito screamed.

"Can't… bre…athe…." Kyo wheezed.

Akito tightened his grip on Kyo's collar and tossed the cat to the floor.

"Worthless animal." Akito spat angrily.

Kyo eased himself to his feet.

"It's none of your darn business what I do!" The cat boldly ventured.

Akito's face stretched with a devilish grin. "Oh really? It's not?" The head said softly.

Akito gently stepped towards Kyo. "Because I thought…"

Kyo's eyes narrowed. "…That I was…"

Akito stopped less than a foot away from the cat.

Kyo blinked.

"HEAD OF THIS FAMILY!" Akito screamed and threw Kyo at the wall.

The cat's back slammed against the wall with a large thud.

Akito walked towards Kyo again. "I am the one who makes decisions for this family! I am the one who knows EVERYTHING that goes on! Now tell me what you were doing here!" Akito yelled.

Kyo rubbed various parts of his body. "Fool." Kyo muttered.

BANG! Akito kicked Kyo in the stomach, sending him into the door this time, his head hitting the doorknob.

Seconds later, Hatori opened the door to Akito's room. He gasped upon seeing the unconscious cat in the middle of Akito's bedroom floor with the head standing over him like a vulture.

"Akito-sama?" The doctor inquired.

Akito whipped his head around. "Hatori." He said viciously. "Send for the boar. And take this filth with you. Keep him around. I may wish to speak with him later."

Hatori gulped and nodded. He rushed over to the cat, picked him up, and briskly headed to his office.

The dragon did as Akito asked. After calling Kagura, he begun tending to Kyo's wounds. After a short time, Kagura appeared at Akito's door.

"A-Akito-sama…" Kagura said through the door.

"Come in, boar." The head coldly said.

Timidly, Kagura did as she was asked.

"Now…boar…tell me…WHY the cat was found at your house?" Akito wasted no time getting to the point.

"Um…Well he was there to apologize to me…"

"And why would he need to do that? Did the monster harm you?"

"No! No, it wasn't like that! Well…Kyo found another…Another woman…" Tears pricked at Kagura's eyes.

Akito was silent. "So you're saying, he found…A girl?"

"Yes!" Kagura wailed.

"There, there…Tell me more about this treachery." Akito embraced the boar. His eyes shifted. He itched to know more.

Through sobs and sniffles, Kagura told the story about how she stumbled upon Kyo's "betrayal" and his "secret romance" "behind her back".

Akito listened patiently. He absorbed this information eagerly.

"Well boar, it is good that you came to your kind head. Don't worry, I'll solve all your problems." The young head assured Kagura.

Kagura blinked tears from her eyes. She was quite confused and exhausted with the whole ordeal.

"You may leave now."

Kagura nodded hastily and scurried out the door.

Kagura then ventured on home. Her mother was there cooking dinner, Rin was being as reclusive as ever, and Tohru was nowhere to be found.

"Mama? Where's Tohru gone?" She inquired wearily.

"Oh, honey. She went home. She said she had to get back and cook dinner for Shigure and Yuki. Why don't you get some rest sweetheart?" Kagura's mother said gently.

Kagura nodded. A nice bed sounded like a good idea. She wandered up to her room and immediately collapsed onto her bed, and drifted into a heavy sleep.

At that same time, Tohru was hurrying briskly back to Shigure's home. She worried profusely. Oh no! Mom! What would you do in this kind of situation? Oh mom, Kyo's been taken by Akito, and who knows what he will do? Maybe I should tell Shigure, and he'll know what to do! Yeah! That's the best I can do for now…Shigure will know what to do. He will!

Kyo woke up with a chill on his back. He was lying on one of Hatori's ice-cold examination tables. With a searing pain, the cat sat up.

"Ah, Kyo. You're awake."

"Yeah…" Kyo mumbled, massaging his temple. He was too tired to get fired up.

"Kyo, your body has taken a severe beating, and you have many bruises. Maybe even a broken rib or two. You should be fine, but you should lie down for a while. And, I think Akito will want you to stay here for a while too…" The doctor drifted off.

"Argh. That creep. I'll get him one day." Kyo grumbled through the pain in his chest.

"Get WHO, monster?" Akito's cold voice rang out from the doorway.

Kyo turned his face away. "No one."

"Oh really? Because it seemed to me that you want to harm me. Is that so? You want to harm your god?"

"No."

"Don't lie to me!" Akito screamed, launching into a raging fury.

The head grabbed the cat by the hair and flung him to the floor. Akito pounced on Kyo and repeatedly punched him in the face, causing Kyo's lip to bleed copiously.

Hatori merged into the background, his drearily boring clothes merging into the equally drearily boring walls and medical equipment. He didn't wish to interfere with Akito. Not unless he was actually on the verge of killing Kyo. Mean, yes, but Hatori didn't want anyone else to be harmed than was necessary.

Akito suddenly stood up. "Alright monster, you'll stay here for now. I will need to deal with you properly."

Kyo was half-consciously trying to fight back. His hands twitched, but they wouldn't move much farther than that. His hands simply would not form fists.

"HATORI!" Akito barked. "Take the monster to Yuki's old room." A malicious grin spread over Akito's face.

Hatori gulped, then nodded. He picked up the cat again, and took him to Yuki's old room. After setting Kyo down, Hatori wiped the blood from Kyo's face and applied a couple of adhesive Band-Aids for a temporary fix. He'd have to persuade Akito to allow him to tend to Kyo when he was finished…No point in doing anything serious now.

The next morning Akito opened the door of the room where Kyo lay, in the same position as the night before, a grin overtaking his face.

Okay guys! This is about 9 typed pages, I hope that's enough to make up for my late updating for this fic! Hatori seems kinda like a meanie in this chapter…But he is very blunt, so I tried making him blunt. Please leave a review so I don't lose any more faith in fanfiction. But I'll keep writing anyway! Fight the power! I write 'cause I like to! But a review would be really nice. :3 Check my profile for update status!
