Warning: This one has the beginnings of a rape scene in it so I'm uping the rating. It doesn't go into detail because just what I did write made me feel bad.

When morning came, Kyo woke to find himself being tugged from his pen and up the stairs. By the time he was completely awake, he was bound down to Akito's bed. The cat squirmed against the leather that bound him with his arms and legs stretched to the corners of the bed in a successful spread eagle position.

When a sudden dark chuckle sounded from the foot of the bed, Kyo jerked a bit in surprise and tried to lift his head to see who was there. Due to his position, however, and where the person had decided to position themselves, the cat's attempts were fruitless.

"I do not like my pets falling in love with anyone. Do you know why, Cat?" Asked the very familiar voice of Akito. Without giving Kyo a chance to answered, the man answered his own question, "It is because that develops a want for freedom within them…and I can not loose any of my collection."

Kyo grit his teeth and shot a glare at the man as he revealed himself. The man's arms were crossed over his thin chest and he returned Kyo's glare with a burning hate before shedding the simple kimono he wore.

"It seems I need to teach you who is boss here." He stated coldly. The cat's glare turned to a look almost akin to fear before a yelp was torn from his throat. During the monologue, the man had crawled onto the bed and now had his teeth sunk within the cat's shoulder, easily drawing blood from the tanned flesh. At hearing the yelp, Akito grinned and pulled away, licking at his blood stained lips. Kyo shuddered in and pain and fear of what may come.

At seeing the cat exposed and fearful beneath him, the man began to grow aroused. He didn't want to admit it aloud, but the cat was highly attractive. Everything about him screamed fire. The man licked his lips before leaning down and lapping at the bloody bite mark that was beginning to bruise, marring the beautiful expanse of tan skin. He growled softly and bit down on a new spot, pressing his hardening length to the cat's exposed entrance, "Who is King here, slave?"

"Y-you are….." The cat whimpered, closing his crimson colored eyes. Those same eyes were ripped back open a second later, however, as the smirking Akito filled him in one fluid motion.

When Akito finished with the cat's punishment, Kyo was given a new collar that worked along the same lines as a dog's bark collar and would give him a nasty shock if he tried to speak. He was also put in a new cage that was separated from the rest of the zodiac slaves. The cat slumped within his new pen, his form racked with silent sobs as he buried his face in his hands.

Haru blinked as he looked at Kyo, a sad expression marring his normally emotionless face, "Kyo?" He called out to the cat. When his name was called, the cat lifted his head and looked at Haru with a broken expression before curling up into a ball and trying to vanish.

A few moments later, Akito strode into the room and stood on a raised platform in the center of the room, "Attention slaves! I am going to show you something that may disgust and sicken some, if not all of you." The man explained before motioning for Kyo to be brought to him. Once the cat was placed before him and locked in place by a chain that stretched from his collar to the floor, holding him in a kneeling position, Akito leaned down and grabbed his left wrist, pulling it up and smirking at the look of fear the cat wore. He leaned down and whispered into the cat's ear, "Lets see if he loves the real you…" He whispered before time seemed to slow as he pulled the beads that adorned the cat's wrist away.

The cat's eyes widened before his whole body convulsed in pain. An eerie, inhuman howl filled the room as his whole form hunched over and started to change.

The caged beings all stared at the transforming beast in shock and horror as steam covered him. Gags and hacking filled the room as a horrid scent assaulted them all.

When the steam cleared, an unnatural beast sat crouched where Kyo had been sitting about a minute before. The caged ones all looked over the beast in surprise. Kyo's big violet eyes stared back at everyone with fear clearly written within them. After a few moments, those cat-like eyes froze on Haru, who's face was completely unreadable. The cat whimpered and ripped free of the chain that was binding him. He swung one, long arm out and with three sickening cracks, followed by three thuds, the bodies of Akito and his guards all fell to the floor. Kyo lept from the stage, his weight and claws smashing and breaking the cages that held the rest of the slaves as he landed on the cages before leaping from them and through a window before running pell-mell from the castle.

It took a bit for the ox to snap out of his shock, and when he did, he stared at the sight of Akito and his guards laying unconscious on the floor, remnants of the cages and the window littering the floor, and his fellow slaves who were all staring around like him or still in a complete daze. Haru's gaze caught Yuki's for a moment and the mouse motioned towards the window. With a simple nod, the ox grabbed the cat's beaded bracelet before leaping out the shattered window and running in the direction the distraught feline had went. There was no way he'd let the feline escape without knowing full well that Haru didn't care what he was.
