Akito was on the ground, unconscious. Kyo really didn’t care why, but after Tohru had hugged him he felt as though a large weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. What happened? he thought to himself, Why do I feel this way? he looked down and saw his beloved Tohru asleep in his arms. He kissed he forehead, This is truly the best birthday ever! Kyo thought as he carried a sleeping Tohru back to the house.

“K-Kyo?” asked Tohru as she woke up.

Kyo looked at her and noticed that her shoulder was bleeding from where he had scratched her.

“Hm…what is it Tohru?”

“Oh, its- its nothing.”

“Uh, um how’s your shoulder? Does it hurt?” Kyo asked gazing into her beautiful chocolate eyes with concern.

“I can hardly feel any pain.” she said with a simple smile as she gazed into his fiery red eyes.

“That’s because, it fell off at the lake.” Kyo stated.

“Wh-What!” Tohru shouted, as she jumped out from his arms panic-struck.

Kyo began to laugh at the way that Tohru was panicking.

“What is so funny about losing an arm!?” Tohru shouted.

“It’s funny because you didn’t really lose your arm, stupid!” Kyo said as he continued laughing.

Tohru looked at her left arm to see that it was still intact. She just looked at Kyo, with that smile on his face that was hardly ever there, and pouted.

“You know, Tohru, that is what I love about you,” Kyo began, “I could tell you that the world was going to end tomorrow and you would probably believe me.” he said as they arrived at the house.

Tohru just looked at him and smiled. Kyo took off his jacket and placed it around Tohru so that Shigure and the others wouldn’t notice the scratch he had given her. They then entered the house and were greeted with Shigure saying;

“Where have you guys been?” he asked very worriedly.

“At the lake.” Kyo replied as he sat down with Tohru.

“What were you ‘doing’ asked Shigure with a perverted look on his face.

“Damn it Shigure! You perverted bastard! What happened at the lake is between me and Tohru and its none of your business, you darn dog!” Kyo shouted letting go of Tohru but, only for a split second.

Yuki walked into the room as Kyo left to go and call Hatori.

“Wh-where’s Kazuma?” Tohru asked in a weak voice hugging Kyo’s jacket closer to keep warm, while she made her way steadily to the kitchen.

“He’s asleep in Kyo’s room.” Yuki said. “Miss Honda, why are you wearing Kyo’s jacket?” he asked suspiciously.

“Kyo gave it to me to keep me warm.” Tohru said as she hugged it tighter.

Yuki didn’t to ask her anymore questions. He went to the phone to call Uo and Hana, who had been very worried about Tohru.

“Thanks, Hatori.” Kyo said as he hung up the phone.

Yuki hung up the phone so that Kyo wouldn’t hear him. Yuki then, walked back into the kitchen.

“Miss Honda, what happened to your shoulder?” Yuki asked as he walked over to take off Kyo’s jacket.

Kyo immediately walked towards Tohru and in between her and Yuki.

“It’s none of your darn business!” Kyo shouted with fury and protection in his eyes.

“Its nothing really. I’m fine” Tohru said as she turned around and began to make breakfast for her and Kyo.

Yuki motioned for Kyo to come into the other room. Kyo left Tohru, reluctantly.

“What the hell did you do to Miss Honda’s shoulder?” Yuki asked in a hushed tone so that no one, especially Tohru, could hear them.

“That has nothing to do with you! You darn Rat!” Kyo said.

“It has everything to do with me you Stupid Cat!” Yuki replied in a harsh tone.

“How do you figure that?”

“Because I care about her just as much as you do!” Yuki shouted.

Tohru could hear them shouting and decided to see what the fight was about. She put down the knife that she was using to chop up the vegetables and went and peeked around the corner to see what was going on.

“What?” Kyo asked with a confused look on his face.

“Boy, maybe you and Miss Honda really do belong together.” Yuki said as he turned to walk to his room.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Kyo shouted

“Your just as stupid as she is.” Yuki said in a very harsh voice.

Kyo looked in amazement at what Yuki had just said.

“Take that back you son of a b****!” Kyo shouted trying to defend Tohru.

Yuki looked so calm after insulting the woman he had fell in love with. But, that didn’t matter anymore because she had chosen Kyo over him.

“Your right about one thing, my mother was a b****,” Yuki began, “But, I’m not going to take back what I said because you and I and the whole world know it true. Tohru is stupid, clumsy, and oblivious! And why she chose you over me I will never figure out.” he said.

Kazuma came out of Kyo’s room. He had heard the entire fight and he was the only one who noticed Tohru sitting in the kitchen doorway in shock. Kyo turned around to see her. He then walked over to her. She jumped up and ran out the back door. Kyo went chasing after her. Before he left though, he gave a deathly stare towards Yuki, who just stood there with a look of accomplishment on his face.

“Why did you say such hurtful things about Miss Honda Yuki?” Kazuma asked.

“That’s none of your concern.” Yuki said as he went back into his room and locked the door.

Meanwhile, Yuki was in his room. He walked over the his closet, unlocked it and opened it. There, sitting on the floor with their hands and legs tied. And a gag in the mouth was…Yuki.
