A/N: So, here's chapter two. I tried to get it finished as fast as I could but I didn't feel like typing and I had to start my poem anthology thingy for English. But I did it. I have to warn you though; I tried to keep everyone in character but I don't think I did a very good job if any of them (especially Hatori) sound ooc please let me now so I can work on it. Enjoy Chapter two…

Italicized-(Yuki's Nightmares)

-Hatori's POV-

I felt a sense of dread as I opened the doors to Akito's bedroom. He was sitting on the floor on a mat and his back was turned from me, but I could tell from the stiffness of his posture that he was pissed.

"Hatori," he said with out turning around. "Where have you been?"

"I was at Shigure's house," I said feeling that strange desire to obey to his every request.

"What were you doing there?" he asked, still not turning around to face me as my feet became rooted to that spot.

"Yu-Yuki um, Yuki was sick," I whispered. I don't know why this small, fragile person terrifies me so. But he does. There's something inside of me that wants to run very far away from this cruel person. But there is another part of me that is commanding me to stay and no matter how hard I try I can't fight it.

"Was he? And you went to see him? Without my permission?" he asked, as he suddenly stood up and turned and sort of ran over to me with much grace for someone as angry as he is to where he was looking up at me, his black eyes practically glowing with malice. I was so terrified I couldn't say anything; I didn't even know what to say. I'm never loss for words but I am so scared right now I can barely breathe let alone think. I wasn't scared for just my self though. I was terrified for Yuki and even Gure-san too.

"Yes," I managed barely above a whisper, looking down at the small form.

"Mmmm, you disappoint me Hatori," he said and the next thing I knew I was on the floor with Akito staring down at me. The side of my face was stinging and I tasted a sharp metallic taste in my mouth. He bent down and yanked my hair, hard, so that my head was pulled back and brought his face close to mine.

I barely took a breath as he said the most dreaded thing I wanted to hear. "You are forbidden to go see Yuki, you are forbidden to go over to Shigure's house, let Yuki die. I can care less. He abandoned me and now I'm going to abandon him and so is everyone else. No one is going to take care of him!"

"Shigure is there, he said he was going to take care of him," I said as best as I could as my neck was still stretched back.

"Hah!! You've got to be kidding me!! Hahahah!" Akito laughed, letting go of my hair and standing up. "That Dog can hardly take care of himself let alone a sick, weak, pathetic child! Don't make laugh Hatori! You know just as well as I do that Shigure can't take care of Yuki and he's either going to have to bring Yuki back to me or 1et Yuki die. It's his choice; let's see which one he chooses. Now get out of my sight and tell everyone not to disturb me."

I stood up and bowing slightly I walked out of the room, a weird mixture of relief and dread welling up inside of me. Sure Akito isn't going to harm me any further and it doesn't look like he's going over to Gure-san's house; however I cannot go and see Yuki and now it's up to Gure-san to really take care of him. But can Gure-san take care of Yuki? It is a lot of work and Akito is right, Yuki can die. I know Gure-san isn't gonna let him die and he doesn't want to put him back in the cruel clutches of Akito. What are you going to do Gure-san?

Shigure was sitting at the table, sipping tea. Yuki was still upstairs, fast asleep. His breathing was all right and his shivering stopped a little, but what still worried Shigure was that his fever still hadn't gone down. He took a large sip of tea and sighed. He didn't realize that taking care of someone who is sick was such hard work. Usually he was taking a nap around this time but he was afraid that if he did, Yuki might start coughing again and stop breathing and he wouldn't wake up in enough time. Now he understands what Hatori has to go through when taking care of someone who is sick. As Shigure was deep in his musings, he was oblivious to what was going on upstairs, in Yuki's nightmares.

Black. It's all I can see. It's all I can feel. Taste. Hear. Smell. Nothing else. Just this black void, suffocating me. Everything else is gone. Everyone is gone. No one is coming to rescue me from this. No one cares about me. That's why I'm here to begin with. Everybody hates the stupid rat. My own brother won't even help me. I am loved by no one and I'm only a burden to those around me. It would be better for everyone, for the world if I just died. Everyone would be happy if I just curled up in a small ball and fall asleep, never waking up again. Yea, that's what I will do. I curled up in a small tight ball in the black nothingness and fell asleep hoping to never wake up again.

Deciding to go check up on Yuki, Shigure walked up the stairs and over to Yuki's room. He had left the door wide opened. When he walked through he panicked. Yuki was curled up in a tight ball and he was starting to cough hard and his breathing was fast and shallow.

A/N: This was going to be longer but I decided to cut it a bit and make the part I cut the beginning of Chapter three. I still think that Hatori is ooc but tell me what you think and I will try to work on it. Ok one more thing and I'm out of here. Please tell me what you think of Yuki's first nightmare. R&R

Ok I'm out…peace, love, and cookies ---yuki's princess
