Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Training? ❯ Chapter 5

After breakfast Kyo walked outside to be unnoticed again. "Savanna?" Kyo said in almost a whisper. Savanna turned around swiftly, jumped up to hug Kyo. After almost knocking him over they sat on the porch saying nothing to each other as they watched the clouds roll by. Kyo glanced over to study Savanna's face. She was almost motionless, like a hand carved statue. Why are your eyes so empty? There's no color in them they're just black… I guess I can ask the question my dream told me to… Ha! Dreams what do they know? Thought Kyo. "Savanna… Do you remember the first time we met?" Kyo said with a fake smile on his face. She smiled innocently, "Of course I do! We went swimming in a lake and camped out in the woods to watch the stars! It was great I was so happy that night." Kyo flinched. No it can't be! It can't! My dream… Savanna! "Yah, It was great remember the shooting star?" Kyo said covering up his thoughts. Savanna smiled happily, "Yah! I loved it." I'm sorry I didn't believe you Savanna… who is this pretending to be you? I got to do something… Tomorrow I'll see your true form who ever you are and I'll be ready. Kyo didn't talk the rest of the time, just sat there deep in his thoughts. It was early afternoon before either of them spoke again. "Savanna I have to go get ready for tomorrow night… I'll be right back ok?" Savanna looked at him a little confused, "What's tomorrow night?" Kyo forced a smile, "It's a surprise I have for you so no questions or peeking got it?" She smiled and turned back to the clouds. "I got it… I got a surprise for you too." Kyo turned around and went inside the house. Kyo looked around for anyone near, when he saw no one he let the tears fall from his eyes, "It's bad enough I lost you once but now I have to kill the creature that took your form… You have no idea how I feel right now." Shigure and Yuki entered the room suited up like gothic hunters. "Suck it up stupid cat that's not her so get over it." Yuki said calmly. Yuki had a crossbow in one hand and a metal pipe in the other hand. Shigure had knives and a crossbow also. "What in the world are you guys supposed to be? She's not a vampire you idiots… You guys look so ridicules you know that?" Kyo laughed. Shigure smiled, "I'm glad you're so amused because you have one too." Kyo stopped laughing, "What about Thoru? Is she in the same get-up as you two?" Yuki smiled lightly, "No, She went to her friends house. I wouldn't want anything to happen to her, so get ready Kyo because we have to kill this demon before tomorrow." Kyo backed away from them and stopped suddenly, "Wait a minute how did you guys know about this?" "Do you really think you were the only one Savanna visited last night? Man she was pretty though I can see why you fell in love with her. She had a really nice a" *Smack! * "If you finish that sentence Shigure I'll kill you myself!" Kyo threatened. "Stop fighting you two she'll start to suspect something if we're loud now Kyo get dressed and load your weapons. We got a demon to kill." Yuki said casually. Kyo walked to his room to get dressed as Shigure and Yuki stayed downstairs but as soon as he saw the leather pants and a long sleeve shirt he laughed, "You bunch of idiots this stuff is going to be too hot… I guess I can just use the weapons and the belt." He grabbed a cross bow and a couple of daggers. As he stuck the daggers through his belt he started to feel awkward. "Man I going to kill my girlfriend… I hope your with me Savanna because if your not, when I die… You'll see." Kyo sighed and started to walk downstairs until he herd something… Someone… I'm always with you Kyo. Well fight together like before! Kyo smiled to hear her voice again and walked downstairs to join Shigure and Yuki. "Don't screw this up rat because if you die I'll kill you" Kyo threatened. Yuki smiled, "Stupid cat, if I were die I'd already be dead. You might want to think about what you say." Kyo shook his head and looked out the window. "Ready?" Shigure asked. Kyo just sighed, "As ready as I'll ever be, what about you guys? Don't plan on taking her lightly because she's a girl… She's a great fighter." Yuki smiled, "Trust me we weren't planning to." The three guys walked to the door and slid it open quickly. "Where is she?" Shigure asked. They walked out to the porch cautiously. "Well Kyo where's your demon?" Yuki asked tauntingly. Kyo just stood there unmoving but ready to shoot his crossbow. Focus Kyo she's here ahead of us can you see her? "Yes" Kyo said as he aimed at his target. Shigure and Yuki just looked at Kyo as if he were nuts. "Kyo are you feeling ok?" Shigure asked. "Can it! I'm fine." Now Kyo! Shoot now! Kyo fired his crossbow causing the demon to come out of its invisible state. "HA! You found me! Your smarter than I thought Kyo." She said taking the arrow out of her shoulder. "Damn it! Shoot!" Kyo yelled to the others. Suddenly arrows were being shot one after another. She just laughed as the arrows would get only inches and then fall to the floor. It's not working Kyo! You and the others have to get in for close combat! You can do it Kyo I believe in you, just remember how we fought together. "Got it. Guys stop firing it's not getting passed her defenses. Close combat is the only way to inflict damage." Kyo said. She smiled again, "I'm sorry love but there not the ones I want to fight. I want to fight you! But my friends would like to have a go with your family." Yuki took a step forward. "What is she talking about?" She laughed, "Dark spirits of the earth arise and do my bidding, they need to be taught a lesson, ARISE!" zombies rose out of the ground and surrounded her. "Now lets see how well you fight the already dead… Kyo's mine! Tear the others to pieces!" she ordered. Yuki turned to Kyo, "Hurry up and kill her or we're all dead." He said calmly. Kyo nodded and charged to the demon. Knife in hand and swung it at anything that came in his way. "Fool! You think you can beet me? When it was my own hands that slaughtered your true beloved like cattle? Then I shall show you my true form!" Kyo got within inches of her before a blast of light and black fire forced him to shield his eyes and his face. Yuki and Shigure were fighting the undead like warriors of the past. "Danget! How do we kill them?!" Shigure yelled backing away but still swinging knives around. "I don't know but I think they'll leave if the demon is killed so we have to keep fighting." Yuki called back knocking off heads with his pipe. "I hope your right Yuki because I think demon lady's gunna show her true face." Yuki glance towards Kyo to see black flames come up from the ground and vanish, leaving behind a monster. Seven feet tall ,four eyes that seemed pitch black, spikes at least a foot long coming out from its back, a dragon like tail with blades shaped like an axe at the end, eight fingered raptor hands including claws, along with rows of teeth like a sharks formed in its dog-like mouth and… "Haven't you ever heard of a tic-tack?" Kyo yelled at the beast. "Why you pest!" The beast raised its clawed hand in the air and swung at Kyo. Luckily Kyo dogged it just in time. "So! You got a name ugly? Or should I just call you that?" Kyo said with a smirk while dodging the beast clawed swings. "Ha! You actually think you're worth even hearing my true name?" IT swung again and barely missed Kyo. "Well, fine! My true name is Tundra Demon of the dark flame and believe me that's the last name you'll ever here!" Tundra grabbed Kyo swiftly and threw him as far as to where Yuki and Shigure were. "Have a nice flight?" Yuki said fighting Zombies away from him. "Stop laying around Kyo! I have to go to the bathroom!" Shigure yelled. Kyo stood up and laughed. "What are you laughing at!" Tundra yelled. "Well isn't it obvious I'm laughing at you! Or did you not notice yet that you're missing an arm?" "Huh?" Tundra looked at her right arm, which was now, not there. She looked at Kyo who was smiling and now charging straight at her. "You idiot! I'll make you pay!" Out of nowhere her tail grabbed Kyo and wrapped him so tightly it was difficult to breath. "I'll make you suffer Kyo!" She squeezed tighter making Kyo spit out blood. "Ha! I bet even now you are losing your breath… Shame I was starting to like you." She squeezed so hard that even Yuki and Shigure heard the breaking of Kyo's ribs. "Kyo!" Yuki called "No! Don't give in Kyo!" Shigure called. But to Kyo they became an echo in the darkness as the light faded and he breathed his last. " Pity, he was no fun at all no matter I'll watch my minions finish you guys off." Tundra turned and walked towards Yuki and Shigure laughing aloud.
