I STILL DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKETS
Hatori and Ayame sat down by the kotatsu both shaken by this. After making sure there friend is stable, no one had expected any of this. Especially the sheer level of brutality it was sickening to say the least Shigure was never the target for his abuse before. So why now? It made absolutely no sense thought the two friends although there worried about Shigure and how hard Kyo seemed to be taking this. They wanted answers for what happened while Yuki had said he will check on his cousin. That seemed to help alleviate atleast some of there worry although it only helped alittle because really besides Yuki, Kyo only opened up to Shigure.
Indeed things had changed Kyo didn't feel like an outsider in his own family anymore. However they knew there where still some that wanted to hang on to the old ways. Still clinging to years of unfounded hate for no reason Hatori, Ayame and others started to stick up for the 'cat' on New Years and to the other members of the zodiac. But until they know a reason for why it happened the two decided its best to keep the three young ones distracted and calm. No need for them to jump to conclussions especially with something so delicate right now. Even thought they had a pretty good idea of who the culprit is no that would be dangerous it wouldnt be wise to upset anyone. Until they knew without a shadow of a doubt the usually flamboyant silverette thought wondering if Hari thought the same thing.
All they could really do now anyway is wait for Shigure to come around. The 'dragon' of the zodiac had gotten his friend cleaned up as best he could. So as not to alarm the others when Hatori knew they will want to see him. In a while he would go check on Shigure again the doctor thought to himself but suffice to say this had even shaken him who was usually stoic in these kinds of situations calm and collected. It was always different when its you're friend who's hurt instead of some random person or a family member that you barely know. "If only this was a dream" Ayame's words broke his thoughts "yeah if only because all of this is getting very old."
