A/N: The idea is kind of like SAW, but let me get it straight that I never saw any of the movies, but I do know he makes traps for people, and that's the idea. Maybe not for this chapter, but certainly in another one. If you don't like it, you are free to express it, but please don't call me names. I'm actually sorta sensitive to hate mail that gets personal.

FIRST: YUKI, YOHRU, KYO

Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo all were kneeling in the Sohma Main House waiting for Akito to walk in. Then, the door slid open, and the head of the house strolled in. He didn't seem to be angry. Why were they called here, anyway? They thought Akito didn't mind Tohru living with them.

Oh no, he isn't…changing his mind, is he? All three of them thought. They had spent far too much time together to have her mind wiped now. The last thing they wanted was to lose Tohru, the girl who showed them kindness, the one that brought light into their dark world. They had been through thick and thin, and now each of the two boys was beginning to feel like more than just her friend. The worst thing in the world is losing their history together…or is it?

Akito marched in front of her zodiac and the girl and looked at their anxious faces.

"Heh heh, look at you. You look at me as if I am putting you to death. Your eyes are filled with fear and worry. I thought you knew I only have love for my zodiac, even if I do get a little rough. I don't mean it." Akito said. That didn't make the three teenagers any less nervous. It was only a matter of time before Akito exploded.

"Well maybe we wouldn't be so nervous if you didn't also hurt people when you call them." Kyo said at an impulse. Yuki and Tohru shuddered at the cat's unwise choice of words. They bowed their heads and looked away as they waited for Akito's rampage to begin. Surprisingly, Akito didn't get upset, but only chuckled.

"Oh my little monster, you know, normally, I would be very upset right now at your hurtful words. That's what you were all expecting, weren't you?! To see me kicking and screaming and leave someone bleeding?!" Akito stopped for a moment to regain his cool, "But, lucky for you, I'm in a good mood today. For, you see, I've found a fun new activity, and you're all here to play with me!" Akito said with a mischievous smile. Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru felt like their heart was being ripped out, especially Yuki. He had a colorful memory of what happened whenever Akito wanted a play a "game".

Then, Ritsu was summoned by Akito into the room. Ritsu seemed very scared and guilty as he brought in two rectangular boxes. On his way out, he whispered an apology to each of the teenagers. Ritsu's apologies were a dime a dozen, but something seemed different about this one. Akito opened the two boxes to reveal each one's contents. They each held a leather whip, but these were special. They split into 6 different directions, and at the end of each strap was a piece of sharp metal that could pierce through human flesh. Akito a whip in each hand and stepped in front of Yuki. Yuki bowed his head, and started to hold his breath. He waited for Akito to strike him, but that didn't happen.

Suddenly, Akito grabbed Yuki's arm and jerked it into the air. However, instead of striking his bare arm, he actually placed the whip into Yuki's hand. Yuki looked up in shock and confusion as he noticed Akito's little gift. Was Akito actually giving him the whip? Tohru and Kyo were speechless as well. This couldn't be happening; it must be a dream. Akito made another surprising move when he placed a whip into Kyo's hand! Then he ordered his zodiac to rise.

"Are you…going to make us…fight each other?" Yuki asked. Akito chuckled again.

"Do you really think I would go through the trouble to call you here and take up my precious time just to watch what you do at home everyday? Please, that got boring years ago. Of course you're not going to fight each other. Now, since you are my zodiac, the blood in your body forces you to everything I say, right? Well, right now, I want you both to whip the girl." Akito said.

"WHAT?!" All three said in unison. They knew he was up to something! They just didn't expect him to go this low. He was asking them to hurt Tohru, their angel!

"You heard me! Now, do it! You have to whip her! I COMMAND you!" Akito ordered without sympathy. Kyo and Yuki stared into space as they slowly crepted towards the frightened Tohru. They each held their arm up with the whip, but they tried to resist with all their power the voice in their soul that obeyed God's every command.

"DO it! Do it, now!" Akito shouted as he got impatient.

"It's alright, you guys. I can take it. I know you don't have a choice. It's okay. I'll…I'll forgive you, I promise." Tohru said trying to hide the tears that were welling up in her eyes. But, Yuki and Kyo saw them anyway, and they felt great lumps in their throats and tears in their own eyes as they lost their battle with the spirits. Finally, their arms came down and the metal hit Tohru's back with a great THRACK!

She flinched at the pain, but regained her strength quickly before Akito ordered that they continue until they were told otherwise. One after another, the leather straps smacked her back hard. It made her nerves tingle, and muscles weaken. It was bearable until the sharp metal tore the fabric of her uniform, and exposed her skin. Then, the pain really started. This time, the metal came in contact with her skin, and pierced her smooth fair-toned back. The sensation was heart-wrenching, and she cried out in pain this time. Then, she hurdled into ball on the floor, and smacked herself for making such loud noise. Now Kyo and Yuki knew she was in great pain, and that only made it harder for them. They wanted to stop, but their arms were not connected to their thoughts, only the spirits. No matter how hard they tried, they could not control the arm that caused her so much pain. They just wanted to rip the arm out of its socket and throw it into fire for bringing Tohru so much distress. That was not what was happening though.

Their arms continued to strike her as she lay on the floor. Every strike felt like a tear at her heart. Since her uniformed had been torn to shreds, the whips' ends tore her flesh and blood drizzled down her spine. Her muscles spazzed and her eyes would not let her hold back tears any longer. She cried silently, but after a while her intense pain was audible to everyone in the room. Her cries soon began to make tears flow down Yuki and Kyo's faces, and it put a smile on Akito's face.

"Alright, that's enough, boys. You may stop." Akito said with his evil smile. Yuki and Kyo threw their whips to the ground, and fell to their knees in shame and anguish. Kyo tried to attack Akito, but Yuki and Tohru held him back until he backed off and threw himself to the ground.

"Well, that sure was entertaining. I only wish you hadn't left so much blood on the floor. You've satisfied me, and now you may go." Akito said as he walked out of the room leaving the others alone. Kyo and Yuki tried to comfort Tohru as much as they could without actually embracing her as the three crutched on the floor, crying together.

A/N: I know most of you hate me right now. I may have come up with the idea for this story because I am depressed about moving to a new town, and it really gave me a sadistic streak. I just hope some people found it worth their time to read, and that little part inside of them that likes to see people in pain will make them read the next chapter I will write.
