I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET

A/N: Shigure x Kyo family pairing. Rated M for physical, mental and psychological abuse.

Panic shattered the quiet serenity of there house hidden in the woods as Hatori and Ayame carried someone inside and the three people there in the house couldn't believe who it was a cut to his cheek, bruises some black and blue others even worse. Hair the color of the night sky stained in blood and breathing well they could'nt tell if he was even breathing or not. His childhood friends carried him to the first empty room, shutting the door so the doctor of the family could work without distraction. Ayame wasn't his normal self as he tried his best to calm everyone. "Shigure" The orange haired 'cat' was in shock wanting to know what happened but when someone was hurt like that there could only be one culprit. Kyo thought to himself watching from the kitchen, when Ayame noticed him usually vibrant yellow eyes full of calm reassurance with an underline of worry nodded answering an unspoken question, if he would be ok.

A few hours passed and next thing they knew he was on the roof not out of the ordinary but when the teen goes up there everyone knew something is bothering him. "Are you ok" Kyo took note of the gentle tone and didn't bother to protest simply not saying a word. The silence spoke volumes to how he must be feeling thought the 'prince'. His cousin sat down things changed in the last few years, even though they still argued it was reassuring to know Yuki would just sit there until he's ready to talk. They watched the night stars trying to absorb everything that had just happened in the past hour. Shock was still there ofcourse but also confusion since there older cousin mentioned nothing about going to the main house today.
