Thank you all for the reviews and favourite of the story. You guys are great. I hope I will be able to write better and let you enjoy more .

On with the show.

It has been three days. Three days since Kyou had been imprisoned. Three days since he was left in the little house that was actually a standalone room hidden in the garden. Three days of meals being slotted through the space at the window and cleared within the hour of placement. Three days to add a scratch for each day under the bed frame. Three days to feel his mind dull with the lack of anything in his life. Three days of loneliness.

Kyou watched the garden from his window. It was a cloudy afternoon but the garden was still lively. Butterflies and bees pollinated the flowers and a gentle breeze shook the trees and bushes melodiously. He would usually nap on the roof on a day like this. A quiet peace surrounded him, but in his mind he had bitter thoughts that were shattering his mind to succumb to the situation.

He would hear Tohru saying goodbye as Shigure teased her that morning he was abducted. He'd see Yuki returning from his secret base. And then he'd see Akito's car pull up. That was his last morning, his last moment of life and it was so quick, fleeting. Kyou cursed himself. He should have properly confessed to Tohru no matter the outcome. Maybe make amends with Yuki or have another friendly spar. Tell the dog he was a pervert one last time. Said goodbye to Kazuma. He should have had breakfast together. He'd never taste Tohru's cooking again nor sit comfortably with the 'family' as they hear Shigure spout nonsense about his novels or complain about broken furniture, wall and doors.

Laying his head against the bars of the window, Kyou pointed his hand through the bars as a butterfly approached to perch itself upon it. It was a simple blue butterfly with delicate petite round wings. Kyou admired the tiny creature that went through so much to become what it currently was, from caterpillar to cocoon to its current state. 'Perhaps this would the cage would be just a cocoon' thought Kyou. 'Maybe I'll make it out of here and fly freely.' The butterfly flapped its wings to rest a while more before it flew off again. Kyou watch it go and blend into the grey sky. As he was about to pull back his hand, he gasped. A strong, slender hand had grabbed his wrist.

It has been three days. Three days since Kyou had been brought back. Three days since Akito had last seen Kyou. Three days of acting like he didn't want to go over to the Cat. Three days of hearing whispers among the servants about the abomination in the cage in the garden. Three days of turning Shigure away as he came to speak with him. Three days of waiting.

Sitting on the porch of his room, Akito looked out into the garden. He could see a corner of the roof from the cage from the porch. There were a few crows making a nest in the gutter of the corner he could see. He watched as they arranged the materials they had gathered and fly off to get more as soon as they were satisfied. 'Stupid creatures.' He thought. 'What does such filth accomplish from making a home in such a place.'

As the second crow flew away he decided now would be a good time to grace the Cat with his presence. Stepping of the porch Akito felt the grass cool against his feet and the dirt below shift from his weight. He always enjoyed strolling through his garden barefoot especially when no one was around. Always being told that he was too weak and ill to go out always brought him so much rage that it rocked through his being to his soul more then usual. All his rage was only containable for so long just became a part of his being much to the misfortunes of his cousins. Yet when he was alone and out in the garden he always felt the rage subside.

The Sohma main house's garden was exquisite. The best of traditional Japanese flora and fauna were planted there and maintain with pride by the gardeners. Akito appreciated their efforts, not that they would ever know. The surrounding had always looked alive and elegant with traditional stone accents and oriental charm. Even in the winter the garden had looked alive and well despite the plants dying off in the autumn. As Akito turned a tall hedge he saw the Cat watching a butterfly leave his finger. He watched as Kyou's eyes followed the insect flutter away. 'They look duller then three days ago.'

Before he knew it, Akito was moving forward. The Cat had yet to notice him, eyes still trailing after the insect. As Kyou was about to pull his hand back, Akito's reached forward and grabbed his wrist. The Cat let out a loud gasp. He was obviously surprised by the appearance of the head of the household and the sudden contact. Their eyes met and Akito saw a slight bit of fear in bright orange before it was covered up by anger and recognition. He smirked.

The air around was sticky again. Kyou calmed his emotions as much as possible. Shocked at his own lack of guard against the leader's approach, Kyou knew he was in for a difficult day from this point out.

"Well hello Kitty Cat." Akito said lowly.

Kyou was speechless; he was trying to comprehend what Akito had just said to him. It was something very unlike him and it was creeping Kyou out. Deciding to ignore the odd words Akito had just said, Kyou tried to pull back his hand. When the grip around his wrist became tighter he spoke. "What the hell, let go of me!" he said agitatedly to Akito. Dark eyes narrowed slightly before Kyou felt himself being pulled by the arm into the window bars. He let out an indignant shout.

"Now Kyou," Akito began as he began pulling the arm harder "is that anyway to speak to your master?" Kyou could feel the joints in his arm straining and his neck was moving into an awkward angle. Even so he manage to spit out the words "What master, you asshole."

Akito seemed to loosen his pull on Kyou's arm at that but not his grip on it. Kyou quickly tried to pull back but stopped as he heard laughing. It was almost happy aside from the fact there was some maniacal tone to it. Looking up from his arm Kyou looked into to Akito's eyes and saw some perverse joy in them. He saw that smile from the car on Akito's face again and he only had time to scream.

Kyou's right arm had been dislocated. While Kyou's defense was down, Akito had pulled and twisted his arm against the window sill and bars. Kyou felt like it was ripped off his shoulder. Akito's laughter slowly died down into a chuckle, as Kyou's scream died into harsh ragged breathing. Kyou dislocated his shoulder before but this time around it had hurt worst then when he slipped off that cliff while training. He looked wearily as Akito's hands were still on his arm.

"Even after I came all the way out here to greet you and see how you are doing, you are still so rude, Monster." Kyou looked away disgusted by the fake pleasantness in Akito's voice. "I am the head of the household no? So what right do you have to defy the fact that I am your master? After all," Akito leaned his face in towards Kyou's trapped one against the window bars and continued, "Aren't you just a cat in a cage? My cage."

And there it was, though minuet, a tiny hint of fear was back in Kyou's eyes. Akito smiled sweetly at the sight and let go. As Kyou was hurriedly pulling his semi limp arm back, Akito reached in and slammed his face back on to the bars. The grip in the short orange locks was painful but not as much as the unexpected hit had been. Looking back in to black, Kyou found his self trapped against the bars again. 'Maybe Akito will break my neck now and I can leave for good.' He thought.

Instead Akito continue speaking. "Listen here Monster. You are in my captivity and you are mine to do as I please." Kyou was still trying to pull back out of his grip. "You speak rudely to me and you'll get punished. Do worst and worst will be done on to you." Once again Kyou mustered up his courage and spat into the dark haired man's face. Akito let go of his grip on the orange hair. Using the sleeve of his fine brocaded yukata, Akito wiped the offending substance of his face. Kyou moved away from the window, just slightly out of Akito's reach, he took a deep breath "Do your worst, you psycho."

Much to Kyou's horror, Akito just smiled and walked away. Before he was too far though, "He turned his head back, "See you later Kitty Cat."

Kyou sat on slightly musky smelling bed. Rain had begun pouring, though it wasn't exceptionally heavy nor was it light enough to be called a drizzle. It was just rain, sickly rain that made Kyou feel lethargic and fuzzy in the head. His shoulder was getting sorer by the minute. He had tried to push it back in, but he couldn't get the angle right. He wasn't sure how long it had been since Akito left, an hour, two? But it felt like the dark hair man had just visited. Akito's final words rang through his head. They sent shivers down his spine. The memory of black eyes as they looked him down, twisted his stomach uncomfortably. He felt disgusted and sick.

Suddenly the door of the cage shook and lock rattled. Someone was coming in. Kyou watched the door. What else could he do? There was nowhere to go. As the door slowly creaked open, Kyou watched as the rain came in and the figure in a black raincoat stepped in. Kyou backed against the wall of the bed and stay vigilant. The figure placed a bag down onto the table back to Kyou. As the figure turn Kyou felt his chest get tighter with the breath he didn't know he was holding, but let a sigh of relief as the coat came off and reveal Hatori.

The dragon looked apologetic towards his cousin and greeted him steadily. "Good evening Kyou-kun" Kyou nodded in acknowledgment. "Akito-sama sent me over to look at your shoulder. How is it feeling?"

"Like some crazy person ripped my arm out of its' socket." Replied the cat sarcastically. Hatori smiled. He was glad to see his cousin wasn't extremely affected but his situation. He then continued to check Kyou's arm. Passing Kyou a tongue depressor to bite on, Hatori pushed the arm back into place. Kyou felt his shoulder throbbing, but it was a lot better then it had been before. Testing his range of motion, Kyou quietly thanked Hatori.

"You are most welcome, Kyou-kun." The room then fell silent. Kyou wanted to ask about the world outside his 'home' but wasn't sure how too. There was no need though, cause Hatori broke the silence, "Shigure has been coming by these few days but has been denied audience with Akito-sama." Kyou stared, mouth slightly agape. 'The dog had tried to come by?'

"Is there anything you would like me to tell him?" Hatori asked.

Kyou just turned his head out the window and stared at the rain. The doctor patiently waited for an answer. He could see the pain in the orange eyes of his bright cousin and how they were losing their light. Hatori wondered if the day came when he might have to erase Kyou's memory if he would be able to do it. But if it made it easier for Kyou could he force himself to make him forget his previous happiness. Somewhat lost in thought he nearly missed Kyou's soft reply.

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" the dragon asked.

Kyou turned to him and eyes filled with bitterness though not directed at anyone in particular, taking in a breath he said, "I miss them."

Well that's it for now. Was planning to write something longer but it didn't feel like it was flowing right for it. So this is all you get now. I hope it was too your liking.
