"Hello, Kyo..." Akito whispers, his eyes shining menacingly.

"A-Akito!" I cry, startled and confused.

"I see the monster has found another demon." Akito-san smiles. I notice he is holding a knife.

"You can hurt me all you like, but don't touch her." Kyo-kun warns, holding my arm.

"Don't you DARE THREATEN ME!" Akito screams, as a bulging blue vien appears on his forehead.

Kyo hugs me tighter.

Akito grins.

"Freak." he says.

"Why doesn't he transform?" I ask, my eyes wide with fear. I

Akito doesn't answer. Instead, he cackles manically.

"Stop it! Stop it! Please!" I cry, tears streaming freely down my cheeks.

The second I say this, something snaps in Akito.

His face turns ashen and his laughing is replaced with something else. His face is unreadable; blank even.

"Come to me, Tohru." he mutters.

I stare at him. Then ignoring Kyo-kun's tugs at my arm and step towards him.

Akito pulls me to him and whispers something in my ear. I push my head into her shoulder and quietly sob as Akito strokes my hair.

And, yes, I did just say 'her'.

Because as I hug Akito, I feel two small soft lumps on her chest. But a man could still have breasts, I suppose.

However, it's what Akito tells me that really gives it away.

"I am a woman." she whispers in to my ear softly.

The moment seems to last a thousand years. But gradually, Akito draws me away from her and in what seems like slow motion, I fall back, and am luckily caught by Kyo-kun.

"Kyo-kun..." I murmur as he holds me.

"Tohru! Oh... oh shit!" Kyo-kun yells in distress.

"I-I'm sorry!" I say as my head starts to swim.

"Oh, oh... Tohru... fuck! Your'e bleeding out! YUKI! HISAKO!" he shouts for the others.

I hear the hammer of my friend's sprinting feet.

"Someone call 119! (A/N that's the emergency number in Japan.)" Kyo-kun starts to cry. I feel the plip! of the salty water on my cheeks.

"I love you..." I whisper before I drift out of consciousness.

So yes, I am bleeding out. The thick crimson liquid is spilling out of my side.All I feel is heat, it's so deep I can't feel the pain. When Akito drew me to her, she sliced the knife she was holding into my stomach.

I wake up in hospital.

The light hurts my eyes and my throat feels raw. My stomach feels weird and tender.

There are people crowded around my bed. I reconize them as Momiji-kun, Yuki-kun and Kisa-chan.

"Tohru! Your'e okay!" Momiji-kun greets happily.

"Are you alright, Honda-san?" A concerned Yuki-kun asks.

"Onee-chan! I was so worried!" little Kisa smiles.

I feel a bit overwhelmed, but delighted that all my wonderful friends are here.

...Apart from Kyo-kun.

"What happened?" I question as Momiji-kun takes my hand.

"You were stabbed by Akito. It didn't hit any arberies so it was okay though!" Momiji-kun explains.

"Arteries, you mean." Yuki-kun corrects.

"Yeah, that too." Momiji-kun beams.

"How do you feel?" Asks Yuki-kun.

"I... don't know. The last thing I remember was Kyo-kun, holding me." I confess.

Yuki-kun and Momiji-kun exchange a worried look.

"Wha... what's going on?" I ask.

"Shigure and Kureno prohibited us from telling the police the truth about what happened to you. They... they blamed Kyo instead." Yuki-kun grimaces.

"But... but that's not what happened!" I protest in anguish. I don't want anyone to go to prison because of my foolishness.

"Excactly. As much as I hate to admit it, Kyo saved your life and he is innocent." 'Yuki-kun continues.

Just then, a familiar face walks up to us.

"Dr. Mizushima-san!" I cry.

"Hello, Tohru! I wanted to see how you were. Oh, you poor thing, I'm so sorry about what happened." Dr. Mizushima-san says gravely.

"It's okay; it's not your fault." I comfort.

She smiles at me.

"Your'e so sweet, Tohru. But I'm afraid I have some rather bad news. You see, your wound wasn't serious, but... if we operate next week, there's a strong open again which could be very dangerous. We won't be able to operate for weeks, possibly months, depending on how well it heals." Dr. Mizushima-san informs us.

"But... then won't Tohru's cancer get worse?" Momiji-kun asks.

"Yes. It will. I'm so sorry Tohru. But we really can't operate on it. I don't know what to say..." tears prick in Dr. Mizushima-san's eyes.

Yuki-kun takes my other hand, while Kisa-chan gently hugs me.

Despite being surrounded by my friends, I feel so, so alone.
