Chapter Thirty-Five: The Pendulum Swings Part 5

[Byakuya's & Kat's Room]

[Kat's POV]

I suddenly jerk awake, quickly sitting up, panting heavily I look around the empty room in confusion. I squint my tired eyes trying to clear away the blurriness, the events leading up to tonight quickly coming back like a flood. I gasp shock, looking around the room alarm. Byakuya was nowhere in sight.

"Meeting..." I mumble in distress, lace with drowsiness.

I desperately kick off my blankets, stumbling towards the door through the dark room. It didn't help that my legs feel like jelly; I wouldn't make anywhere at this rate. Barely making it to the door my knees suddenly gave out. I groan out in pain, my knees hitting the floor, using my hands I broke my fall before falling completely. My messy hair fell over my face, covering half of it. I pant heavily trying to remember why I felt so weak.

The events from Kisuke's office came to back to me. I groan, cursing silently, 'Damnit Kisuke.'

I reach for the door, sliding it open slightly. I weakly crawl towards it quietly peering out the door. I notice it's already dark outside, the moon giving off a soft dim glow of light. I glance down the hallways surprise that Byakuya didn't place guards outside my door. Sighing in relief I weakly grab onto the wood frame of the door, grunting loudly I put all of my strength into my arms pulling myself up. Finally standing up completely I look around the empty Manor fretfully.

'What am I going to do?! I need to save everyone!' I thought petrify. 'Byakuya isn't going to help, I just know it. Kisuke or even Yoruichi would help! But, they are too far away from the Kuchiki Manor for me to make it over there in my condition.' I growl angrily, tighten my grip on the frame until my knuckles turn bright white.

Suddenly I straighten myself out when I realize something, 'Eita! Eita will help me! Eita is probably still under house arrest and he lives right here in the Kuchiki's grounds!' I thought determinedly, gazing towards the direction I knew the spare guest house was at. I weakly made my way towards Eita's house; stumbling a couple of times and falling twice, but I finally made it. I silently kneel behind some bushes when I notice two guards standing guard outside of his house, groaning inwardly not knowing how I was going to get through them.

'Of course Eita would have guards.' I silently cruse as I thought of way to distract the guards.

Suddenly I hear loud shouts of concern and panic coming from the main house, "Lady Shihoin has left her room!" the loud shouts echo through the compound.

The two guards standing outside of Eita's house quickly left their post to go find me. Once I saw they were a good distance away I stumble out of the bushes quickly running to the front door.

Slamming the front door open, I ran into the main room, "EITA!" I shout hysterically, panting from my brief run. "EITA!" I shout again into the dark house.

Eita suddenly runs out from one of the nearby rooms and looks at me shock and concern. He quickly walks over to me holding me by the shoulders.

"Kat? Kat what are you doing here? How did you even get pass the kido barrier?!" Eita questions confuse, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

I look at him slightly relief, he seems more relax and compose compare to earlier. He also seems to have a different feel to his attitude.

"Kat, answer me. Are you ok, what's going on?" he demands sternly, tightening his grip on my shoulders a little, his anxious icy blue eyes staring me.
