Hatori was bored. One would think that such a simple person would not bore so easily, but Hatori was no simple man. What to do, what to do? Oh yes, that family of his. The one who he is supposed to care for in their time of need? They seemed like they could use a small… check-up. And so he called up his first patient.

"So, Hatori, I heard you wanted to see me?" Haru mumbled as we walked into his older cousin's office. To be honest, the place had always made him uncomfortable, and the hungry look in Hatori's eye wasn't helping.

"Yes, please… Do take a seat." Hatori stated, with a slight grin creeping up his lips, ever so slowly, as if to imply it was never there. But Haru knew otherwise.

"Listen, I really need to hurry this up. I'm perfectly healthy s-" Haru was cut off by a large hand on the small of his back. His face was a look of stricken horror, which only grew worse as the hand slid farther down. "Stop that, Hatori… It's really making me uncomfortable… Do you want me to turn black?" Haru asked.

"Oh Haru…. Haru, Haru, Haru… You really are a stupid young boy. I guess that's why you're the ox, huh? Don't take it personally though; it's not your fault that no one will ever love you. Is it?" Hatori laughed, this sure was entertaining. His grinned turned into a Cheshire smile as he slowly inched his face closer to the younger man's. "Would you like it, if I touched you like this…?" Hatori inquired, as he placed a hand gently on the boy's face.

"N-No Hatori! Stop that! You're really starting to piss me off!" Haru shouted, beginning to turn black.

Smack

The slap on the cow's face resonated through the room, and the two men stood speechless for what seemed like eternity. Then the fighting began. First it was mere kicks and smacks, nothing Haru hadn't dealt with before. But the abuse quickly escalated. Soon he was being pounded into the floor, screaming while his older cousin showed no mercy. Then, Hatori pulled out the knife. It was long and shiny and best of all sharp. Haru knew this was the end. He silently wept as the older man cut beautiful designs into his now mutilated body.

Several hours later, the pain was gone, and Haru lay dead on the Sohma doctor's floor.


Author's Note- Sorry the spacing is a little weird in this chapter! Anyway, I suppose I should have warned you that this is a rather creepy fan fiction. So if you are particularly sensitive, I wouldn't recommend reading it!
