Chapter 8:

Genko walked into Tika's office. "You wanted to see me?' Genko asked.

"Yes, I sensed someone watching us today during our training."

"You don't think it is the sme person do you?" Genko asked.

"Yes i do. I know we thought he was gone, but it seems he is not. It was deffinently someone under his influence. I want you to keep an eye out for tohru, she may be in trouble. At this moment I'm not sure of his intentions, but rest assured they can not be good." she stated again.

You could see the worry written all over her face. She knew deep inside that the person was not him, but had to be of his blood line. Genko quickly stood up. Tell Tohru and Kyou that I do not want them to go anywhere with out telling me first! But do not tell them why. I don't want them to worry about it. It could hurt her training. Genko rose from where he was bowing at, nodded his head and left.

Never before has she seen a fox spirit as strong as Tohru's before. She knew with the right training she could quickly pass her by far. In the wrong hands this power could also be very dangerous. She slowing got up to walk while she thought.

After lunch was finished, Tohru and Kyou walked out into the garden. Tohru seemed to be getting more entergetic as the day passed by. This confussed the hell out of Kyou. "How can she all of a sudden have so much energy?" he asked himself. She was just humming, skipping, then started to kinda of hop around. She could feel herself changing after this mornings training but couldn't place the sudden burst of energy. All of a sudden she ran up to Kyou and kissed him. Kyou just stood there wide eyed. He wasn't sure if he should move or not. This was very unlike he, so bold. Then all of a sudden, she nipped his ear playfully. Thus making him jump.

He held out his arms, holding her shoulders. "Tohru, I think you should go lay down. You are making me worry." Kyou stated.

"Ok if you insist, But I'm not really tired." Tohru stated as she skipped back to the house.

Kyou could feel someone watching them. He turned to look, he could see the shadow of a black fox with dark black eyes. As fast as he saw it, it darted away as if it was never there. Kyou shook his head thinking he was seeing things. He ran to catch up with Tohru.

As soon as her head hit the bed she was out cold, lost in her dreams.

Tohru's dream:

Mother where are you? Mother I miss you so much. I don't understand what is happening to me. Why did you have to leave me? Everything started to fade to black around her. Then out of no where she saw her mother and another in their fox forms.

Tohru there is something very important we must tell you. You are in danger there. He has found you. You must return home at once. It is no longer safe. Your spirit is too strong now. I'm not sure what to tell you. You can break the curse! But now is not the time. If he finds you there will be no hope. Please return home. We will help you train in your dreams, and pray it will be enough. Please be safe my child. I'm sorry I can not do more. The two started to fade away.

Mother wait don't leave me. Who is he? Why is he after me? She sat there crying.

Kyou was awoken by the sounds of soft crying. He quickly bolted up and into her room. Shaking Tohru to wake her up, "Tohru what's wrong? Why are you crying?" All he could understand was Mother don't leave me, return home, danger. He softly stroked her hair until she fell back asleep. Not wanting to disturb her by getting up, he leaned back and fell asleep also.

Tika was standing outside the door. She understood everything. Not wanting to disturb them she slowly closed the door. Tika walked into her study, deep in thought, she rummaged through her books till she found the one she needed to give to Tohru before she left. Even though her mind was argueing with Tohru's mother fox spirit.

I don't think this will help. He will still find her there. She should stay here under our protection.

Kyoko's spirit sighed. I understand your concern. But she has lived there for three years now and he never found her. The zodiac will keep her safe. They all love he very deeply. They will not allow any harm to come to her while they are alive. Send her with the book for her to study. Her spirit is strong it will not be broken easily. It is far to strong to break the way I broke mine. But still without proper training it can control her. You know what I mean. Make sure Kyou stays with her at all times. She will need his support for this. I must go now.

Everything faded to black.

Tika coming back to realize she found what she was looking for, set the old book on her desk. She made a mental note to talk with Kyou before they left tomorrow. And slowly walked to her room to sleep for the night.
