Chapter 4: To Hell
Kat threw her bag down in a huff and kicked her dresser. She tore a ponytail holder out of her hair and ran her fingers through the tangled mess.
"This blows. You know they're gonna fucking skin me alive, right?"
Kyo sat down on Kat's bed and scratched his head.
"I don't know what to tell you. I'd say just run when you have the chance, but they'll only track you down again. I don't know what I can do either... I mean, Hatori probably tried his best to keep you here."
Kat fell onto the bed and leaned her head against Kyo's back. She looped her arms through his and nuzzled against him.
"I know... I just wish I could get rid of her."
Kyo smiled, "you know, you could always go to the Yakuza."
Kat laughed, "if only it were that easy."
Kat got back up and rifled through her dresser. She pulled her clothes out of the drawers and tossed them into a knapsack. She looked around the room and mumbled under her breath before letting out a sigh.
"I'll leave money with Shigure to ship my shit to me. I can't fit all of this in one bag."
Kyo took a look around and then looked back at Kat.
"I'm gonna miss you bad Kat."
Kat turned to look at him. "You're such a sap."
Kyo gaped at her. "Are you kidding me?"
Kat smiled and straddled his legs. She brushed her fingers through his hair.
"It's nice every once in a while. Just don't stop being an ass."
Kat stuck her tongue out before leaning in and kissing him. Kat pushed him down onto the mattress and continued to kiss him down his neck. She sucked on his neck gently before kissing back up his neck. Kyo wrapped his arms around Kat and pulled her close. He rolled her onto her side and ran his hand over her cheek.
He leaned in to kiss her again when a knock at the door brought them back to the real world. Kat scoffed and got up.
"Who's there?"
Shigure opened the door a crack and whined.
"S'just me. I'm afraid you're time is limited. Your aunt wants to get out of here... I'm sorry Kat."
"Not your fault Shigure. Thanks."
Shigure closed the door again leaving Kat to brood. Kat shoved a few more things into her bags before closing it up and glaring over to Kyo. He was staring at a strip of photos stuck into a frame on her dresser. They were cheesy photo booth shots they had taken a few days ago at the mall. Kat picked it up off the dresser and ripped two of the pictures off. Without looking at Kyo, she handed them to him.
He stared at them for a minute before taking them. He paused, holding his hand over hers. She pulled her hand away in frustration and looked at her pictures before cramming in her wallet. Kat stuffed her wallet into her pocket and picked up her bag.
Kat finally glanced back at Kyo and sighed. "I guess this is it."
Kyo scowled and looked down at the floor. She leaned down and kissed him briefly before taking his hand and pulling him up after her. The climbed the stair s at a snails' pace and walked into the hall to find Tohru standing in the doorway to the dining room. She looked as if she were attending a funeral, as her eyes were already overflowing with tears.
Kat blinked and stared at her strangely."Whoa. What's wrong with you Tohru? I was never even nice to you. "
Tohru frowned and wiped away tears that kept flowing past her hands. "That doesn't matter. You're still like family to me."
Kat rubbed her back to comfort her. "Hey, cheer up. You've still got a big, happy family around you. Come on, smile. Give me a good farewell, huh?"
Tohru looked horrorstricken at what she'd said.
"I didn't mean permanently. At least, I hope I'm not leaving permanently."
Tohru wrapped her arms around Kat before turning away. As Tohru crept away sniffling, Violet emerged from the kitchen.
"Hey Vi. I'm sorry we never seem to find the time to hang out… I promise when I come back we will."
Violet cried looking down at her feet. She mumbled softly, "but what if you don't?"
Kat put up a tough front for Violet's sake, but she was shaking inside. "H-hey, if Akito can't kill me what makes you think that my family can?"
Kat nudged Violet until a small, sheepish smile appeared. After that, she crept away to join Tohru.
Kat turned to Kyo with a brave grin. "I'm coming back. I promise. Before the week is out."
Kat leaned against him and kissed him warmly. She let her bag drop as he pulled her close. She could feel tears rolling down his cheeks as he kissed her. This was different. She knew she had to come back. Kat wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held him close.
"I'm going to come back. She's not going to break me. Not after all of the shit I've endured so far."
Kat heaved her backpack back onto her shoulder and walked into Shigure's study. She pulled out her wallet and handed Shigure a few crumpled bills.
"It's not much, but you put a roof over my head so I figure that'll make up for a bit. If I'm not back in a month, toss my shit. I'll either be back or dead really soon. We'll just have to see how my luck is this month."
Kat turned back and grabbed Kyo's hand.. She pulled him towards the door and outside into the crisp air. They walked down the path to the road where Kat's aunt was waiting. Kyo pulled Kat back into his arms and kissed her.
"I- I love you Kat."
Kat shrugged his arms off and kissed him on the nose. " I love you too."
One of Anna's goons opened the door to the car and motioned for Kat to get in. Kat kissed Kyo one more time and got into the car. The door closed behind her and her aunt's icy voice was in her ear.
"Take a good look. It'll be the last time you see this place."
"Oh? Now will you be killing me here or are you taking me back to Okinawa first?"
Anna face twisted back into its' permanent scowl. Kat sat back in the seat and sighed. Kat stared out the window waiting for the ride to be over. The scenery became unfamiliar after a few hours, and Kat began to lose confidence in returning to Shigure's. When the car rolled to a stop, Kat's confidence started to wane completely. Kat leaned forward and looked around.
"Do I want to know what's going on? Where are we?"
One of Anna's goons got out the car and opened Kat's door. Kat swung her arm to knock him backwards, but got caught and pulled out of the car by her scalp. He dropped her onto the ground while Anna got out of the car with her other goon. Kat pushed herself up only to get knocked back down by the goon. Kat got up onto her knees and spat on Anna's shoes.
Anna rewarded her with a swift kick sending her backwards into the car. Kat rubbed the back of her head and contemplated the best course of action. Kat's thought process was interrupted when Anna pressed her foot against Kat's windpipe. Kat inhaled sharply and grabbed onto Anna's leg. She pushed her away by her foot and rolled onto her knees.
One of the goons ripped Kat up by her hair as Anna brandished a knife. Kat pulled down with her weight in time to miss getting sliced in the face, but lost a few inches of hair in the process. Kat took her chance and bolted across the ground. She climbed to her feet running as Anna yelled to the goons beside her. Kat glanced back as she was running to see them climbing back into the car.
"Fuck me!"
Kat leapt off the road into the woods and kept running towards the last town they had passed through. Kat didn't look back, but heard the car rip up the road and into the distance. She wasn't going to risk staying there if they decided to come back and search for her. After a while, it started to get dark out, so Kat left the woods opting to walk on the road. It took another twenty minutes before street lights were visible in the distance. When she got up to the intersection she stopped to take a look around. Before Kat could decide which way to go, she was blinded by headlights flashing on in front of her.
"Oh, you've got to be shitting me. Seriously?"
The car jumped forward, engine growling, speeding towards Kat. Kat stumbled back, hands raised instinctively. She waited the few seconds it would take for immense pain to hit her, but she heard a crash and then there was nothing. She opened her eyes and looked down. Still in one piece, she looked up to see twisted metal 10 feet away from her. Lying on the far side of the intersection was her aunt's car.
A truck had come through the intersection and hit them with deadly force. The truck was stopped in the middle of the road and the driver's side door opened. A man stumbled out rubbing his head and stared at the car in front of him.
"Oh my god! I never even saw them!"
Kat opened her mouth, but realized he hadn't seen her. Kat crawled backwards into the woods before he saw her. Kat cupped her hand over her mouth as she stared over the small hill she'd hidden behind.
"Is she actually dead? Could it really be possible? It's too good to be true."
Kat looked over the hill at her aunt's car. It was on its' side with it's front end crumpled against a few trees. She searched the wreckage for any sign of her aunt's body, but didn't see it or any other bodies. She sat down in her hiding spot and waited for the paramedics to arrive. Kat had to be sure, had to know that she was dead before she rejoined Kyo side at Shigure's.
She didn't know how long she was sitting there, but the cold air started to numb her fingers and toes. Her senses snapped back to full when she heard the sirens come into ear range. Once Anna was moved from the car, they placed her on a stretcher. The paramedics pulled Anna's goons from the car and put them on stretchers as well. Although, just from looking at them, they knew they were dead on arrival They looked over her vitals and after a few short minutes of CPR, they shook their heads.
"She didn't make it. Neither did either of those men. None of them were wearing seat belts."
The man from the truck tugged his hair. "I didn't see...they were in my blind spot and then I saw them when it was too late..."
The police arrived on the scene before long to get the accident report from the man. One of the paramedics pulled Kat's bag from the wreckage.
"This is a teenager's bag...Were there any teens in the area that you saw?"
The man ran his fingers through his hair again and shook his head. Kat inched back down and carefully moved away from the intersection. Once she was a safe distance away she moved quickly towards town. She ran her hands over her pockets and found her wallet in her back pocket.
"Oh good. I was worried there for a second."
She saw a diner when she got into town and found a pay-phone standing next to it.
"Good to see these things still exist."
She opened her wallet's change purse to find very few yen. She frowned and stuck her wallet back in her pocket. She picked up the receiver and punched in the collect number. After dialing Shigure's number she waited as it rang, and rang. And rang. She wondered what time it was, as she hadn't bothered looking at a clock. No one seemed to be answering the phone, and it didn't seem like there was an answering machine to pick up her call so she hung up the phone.
She looked around the town and didn't recognize anything. But that didn't break Kat's resolve, things were still looking up. She had gotten away from her aunt forever, and that was all that mattered. Kat walked down the road to find a crummy, run down motel. She shrugged and straightened out her clothes. She ran her fingers through her hair to make it look like she hadn't rolled around in the woods. She sighed, feeling the shortened length.
She walked inside the lobby and looked around for a receptionist.
"Geez...I guess it is late. Everyone's asleep."
A sudden rustling startled her and a teenager emerged from behind a curtain. "Oh! Can I help you?"
Kat stared at the guy who looked about her age. "Are you the receptionist?"
He shrugged, "something like that. My parents figured since I was up at these god-awful hours, they could put me to work."
"Ah. Then your finest, cheap room." Kat grinned digging out her wallet.
"Okay, let me just set you up."
After a few minutes of playful banter, Kat handed the guy a few billfolds and he handed her a key.
"Room 1, make a left as soon as you come out the door and you can't miss it. "
"Ok thanks. Have a good night."
Kat turned and walked out the door, feeling the guy's eyes trail down to her ass. The usual guy behavior.
Kat found the room, easily, and made her way inside to find a queen size stained mattress in the middle of the room. Other than that there was a T.V., dresser, a desk and a chair, a phone, and a tiny bathroom. Kat closed the door and slid the deadbolt and chain across it. Old habits die hard, especially when you spent most of your life running from your family. Kat crossed to the bathroom peeling off clothing as she went.
She found a robe hanging on the door, a bit surprising for the dirt trap she was in. She flipped the light on in the bathroom and turned the bathwater on. She tossed her wallet out on the desk and turned the shower on. Kat climbed into the shower and sighed into the warm water.
She scrubbed the dirt out of her mangled hair, and she washed the dirt and grime off of her skin. She muttered a few curses as she rinsed her and sighed. She turned off the water and climbed out of the shower, grabbing the robe on her way. She wrapped her hair in a towel and pulled on the terry robe. She picked up her clothes and tossed them onto the bed before flicking on the T.V.
A local news channel was the first channel to come up. They were already talking about the accident down the road.
"Jeez, guess this is the biggest thing the town's seen in a while."
"Police on the scene indicate that there may be a teenager who survived the crash. If you have any information, please contact us at our main office or please contact the police department."
Kat sighed. "Well that's a bit of a damper on my plans. Hmm, gonna have to get out of here soon. I should probably wash my clothes so it doesn't look like I've been crawling around in the dirt."
Kat got up and closed her robe wrapping the flimsy belt around her waist. She slipped her shoes on and picked up her stuff to go do her laundry. She wandered outside and found a laundry room without much trouble. She stuffed her clothes in the washer and sat down to wait.
There were no T.V.s in the washroom so Kat was forced to amuse herself. She rearranged her wallet's contents, that took about 5 minutes. Kat put her wallet into the robe's pocket and tugged at her robe to make sure she was decently covered. A few minutes later, she heard footsteps heading into the washroom where she was. She sat up in her chair and twisted around to see who it was.
The guy from the lobby came into view and Kat sat back in her seat. He walked in and smiled.
"Thought I heard somebody back here. Don't have many clothes with you or what?" He laughed.
"Eh. Kind of got forced out without any clothes. I never caught your name. My name is K-Mona."
"Mona huh? Mine is Matthew. Just call me Matt."
Kat and Matt talked for a while until the washer buzzed and she tossed her clothes into the dryer. He eyed her over once again when she bent over, catching a look at her chest under the robe. He saw a few scars and sat back in a chair, curious. Kat closed the door to the dryer and started it before turning around and catching Matt's eyes.
She sat back down and crossed her legs letting her robe slip over her thigh. She caught Matt's eyes drift down to look.
She cocked her head and tsked. "Now, how is that any type of appropriate?"
Matt's eyes shot up to Kat's face quickly and he turned a shade of red. "I'm sorry."
Kat pushed a strand of hair back out of her face. "Don't be. I can understand urges."
Matt inched his chair closer to her and leaned toward her. Kat's breath caught as he looked over her face.
"You can huh? Then this is ok?"
Kat nodded absent-minded as he leaned in and pressed his lips over hers. She leaned into him kissing him back, she wasn't seeing him. She saw Kyo, but it was a mistake.
She felt his hands move over her legs, over her stomach, and into her robe. Kat pulled back for a minute and looked at him.
"Well...you really do have a lot of urges. But here? In the washroom?"
"Sure, why not? Everyone's asleep."
He kissed her neck before sliding his hand into her robe. Kat bit her lip to suppress telling him to stop. He stopped for a minute and looked at her.
"These chairs aren't working real well, are they?"
Kat shook her head, "no, not really."
He got up and pulled her over to the washing machine and lifted her on top of it. He pushed her robe open and froze. His eyes traveled over her scars and then to her face.
"Those don't look very nice. What happened?"
Kat sat up and pulled her robe closed. She leaned forward and looked at him.
"I'm into moto-cross and stuff like that. Crashes will do that to you."
She smiled coyly. She wasn't telling him about her family. She wanted to forget they ever existed, now that they would never come after her again.
"Listen. How about we wait until my clothes are done in the dryer and we'll go back to my room. That way we don't get caught by a wandering guest or parent."
"Sounds good to me."
Kat hopped down off the washer and closed her robe. They sat at the table and talked for a while about their interests and about Kat's moto-cross hobbies. The dryer finally buzzed and Kat pulled her clothes out.
She closed the dryer door and looked at Matt.
"Shall we go?"
Matt smiled and followed Kat back to her room. She dropped her clothes on the desk and put her wallet and room key on top of them. Once Matt came into the room, Kat locked the door and turned around to face Matt.
Matt grabbed her hand and pushed her down on the mattress. He climbed onto the mattress and pulled off his shirt. Kat undid her robe and tossed it aside. He looked over her body before undoing his pants and pulling them off.
He tossed his pants and boxers aside and smiled at Kat.
"Well Mona, tell me... are you a real Mona-r in bed?"
Kat laughed and made a sign for so-so before reaching out and taking his dick in hand. She leaned down and started to lick and bring his dick in and out of her mouth. He moaned in response and put his hand on the back of her head. She sucked him a little harder and a little faster then slowed down before speeding up again.
He stopped her after a few minutes and pushed her back on the mattress. He spread her legs and rubbed his dick against her pussy. She bit her lip and stared at him.
"Don't go teasing me Matt. I don't take well to teasing."
He pushed into her and lifted her thighs to hold. He rammed into her hard over and over in an almost angry attitude. Kat moaned as he moved into her and grabbed the sheets on the bed. He kept the pace of that for a few minutes before picking her up off the mattress and turning her onto her hands and knees.
He rammed his dick back into her pussy and kept going like he hadn't stopped. Kat moaned loudly in response and held onto the sheets to keep herself in the same spot. He was breathing heavily as he slammed into her again and again. Kat couldn't count how many times she'd orgasmed at that point, but if there were any other guests around her room, they could probably hear her.
His moans started to grow and she could tell he was getting close. Kat pushed him off of her and onto the mattress. She grabbed his dick again and clamped her mouth around him. She sucked him off hard for about a minute before she felt him go off in her throat. She licked the entire length of his dick before sitting up and swallowing his cum.
Matt stared up at her panting, and smiled. "That was incredible."
"Well thank you. I try to keep it going good. You weren't so bad yourself. That wasn't your first time..was it?"
"Uh..no. I'm 22. I haven't been a virgin for a while."
"Wait.. you're 22? But.. you said..your parents.."
"Hey hey, I'm not lying. It's a close-knit community around here. Just cause I'm 22 doesn't mean I can't stay around to help my parent's with this place."
Kat nodded. "Oh o.k., so I guess you have to head back to the desk now, huh?"
Matt looked at the time and frowned. "Yeah I guess so. Are you staying through today or are you departing soon?"
Kat shrugged, "dunno, but I'm probably gonna have to get going."
Matt pulled his clothes back on and frowned again. He walked over to her and traced his hand over her hip.
He shook his head and tsked. "It's a shame to see you go."
Kat moved close to him and kissed him. "I'm a dime a dozen type of girl. You'll find another one like me."
Kat ushered him out the door and waved. "Bye Matt.
"G'night Mona."
Kat snickered and closed and locked the door. She flopped down onto the bed and pulled the covers around her. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she was asleep. Her last few thoughts before sleep were about Kyo, her heart ached with what she just did.
"It was so stupid to do that.." She thought sleepily.
Kyo was lying out on the roof as per his usual habits hoping he'd see Kat again. He loved her, he knew he did. If he never saw her again, things wouldn't be the same for him.
"Oh Kat, I hope you're o.k., that I'll see you again soon. I love you."
Yumi: Hi hi everyone. I'm sorry I'm not a very good updater. But I promise the next chapter should be up sooner than the last few have been. Working on it now. Did I mention at the beginning of this that Kat isn't perfect? Not in the slightest.
