Rating: R
Warnings: Abuse. Illness. Bipolar personlity. Obsession.
Summary: Hatsuharu's watched Akito abuse Yuki for too long. With a year's allowance saved up there's enough money to run away with Yuki, to a hotel just outside of town. When an awful rainstorm hits, Yuki becomes very sick. Everyone in the Sohma family is looking for the two missing zodiac members, so calling Hatori is not an option. Neither is taking him ot the hospital with risk of changing. Hatsuharu has never been so scared, nor does he know what he can do.
Enjoy
"Stop crying! What are you crying for?"
*Hic!*
"And stop hiccuping! You're still sick aren't you? You're always sick. You are sick. Everything about you is sick. Filthy rat, do you know why you're here? Huh? Your Mother gave you to me for a couple bucks. You're my property because your Mother wanted a bit of extra cash."
I watched Akito, the head of our family, mercilessly harm Yuki, the cursed rat, for years on end. I'd see him stumble to his bedroom window where I'd meet him often, with black and blue bruises covering his pasty white skin. Sometimes I wondered how he could smile, when his lips were constantly stitched up. There was one insident when his arm had broken, and Akito blamed him for it although the entire family knew who broke the arm. Yuki would never cry to me though, but I heard him crying all the time. He'd cry for Akito to stop, or he'd cry himself to sleep. I had thought for a while he was just scared, but I soon learned that Yuki didn't cry because he was frightened.. He cried to mask the pain.
When Akito had heard about Shigure cheating on him with his mother, Ren, Yuki nearly died..
I skipped school, rushed to the hospital, and stayed by his bedside praying he'd wake up. I remember staying there the entire day, hiding my tears while others came to visit and letting them out in my own privacy. I kept thinking this would be the last time I'd see him, that the heart rate would flatline. But my fears were soothed when I felt a hand brush back my two toned hair. I looked up to see him smiling through all the bruises and cuts.
That's when I decided enough was enough.
I stopped spending my monthly allowance, and saved up until I knew I had enough for the two of us. It was hard at first, because I was so use to just spending everything I had the first week I had it. I didn't know how hard this would be back then.. Saving up the money was the easiest part of the operation. All I could think about was Yuki back in that hospital bed, clinging to life, and it was easy to keep my money saved.
I came to him at night, knocking at his window. He woke up, always groggy, and came to greet me.
"Hatsuharu.. What time is it?"
"Very late."
"Yeah... What do you want?"
"Let's go."
"Huh? Go? Go where exactly?"
"Go. Leave. We're going to leave this family, c'mon."
"I can't leave Haru.. Akito-"
"Akito's the reason we're leaving! Now you have two options," I was close to black at that point. "Either we can leave together, or I'm coming in there and kidnapping you. Both ways we're going."
It took him a few irritating moments to gather a few things in a backpack, change into day clothes, and climb out of his window. I took his hand, making him blush, and lead him out the Sohma gates.
"Haru, where are we going exactly?"
"Anywhere but here."
I lead him all the way out of town before it began raining. We came up to a hotel, not too far from where we were when the rain started, and bought a hotel room. It was enough for a couple of kids. I was very surprised to see they let us get a room for the night. They must have known our family.
Once inside the room Yuki started coughing. I asked him if he was alright, and he nodded.
"Yeah, it's normal."
I let Yuki use the bathroom to change while I changed out in the open room. Dry clothes and wet hair, it always seemed like a comfortable situation.
I thought I had done something good, for once in my life I had helped someone out.
I never thought I was doing more harm than help.. I never meant for it to be this way..
[A/n]
I wanted this idea to be a roleplay, but it seemed more appropriate as a fiction.
Still looking for players for different plots and pairings though! Interested? Review or PM me!
