I Will Protect Her

Chapter 3:

'Get in!' the guard shoved Kyo into the cell without the slightest bit of sympathy, Kyo fell on the floor and grumbled a curse, 'stand up and come here,' the guard ordered, Kyo did as told, the guard took his hands and undid his cuffs. Kyo let out a sigh of relief, the pain of the metal had started to get to him after all the pushing and shoving the cops put him through. He saw the guard look behind him and instantly he started chuckling.

'What's so funny?' Kyo demanded.

'Good luck, rookie,' the guard said before walking away.

'Asshole,' Kyo muttered.

'I know what you mean, honey, that cop keeps on laughing every time he sees me, geez, no respect at all,' Kyo turned around to see the source of the voice. Kyo's eyes widened.

'What's wrong, baby, don't like what you see? Then you must be blind, I'm your cellmate, Go, weatha you like it or not, I'm all yours, baby,' Go added a low growl, Kyo wanted to puke, too bad Go was shitting in the place he needed to puke in. He couldn't miss the lisps in Go's S's, not to mention the way he spoke to Kyo, in a, should he think it? ….a seductive voice. His cellmate was definitely a gay.

Kyo had never had a problem with gays, but when it came to having to share the same cell with one, watching one shit, having one flash his …ahem… thing at him while shitting, not to mention have one use the 'voice' to him, was just WAY to creepy.

'Wooot! I'm about to explode!!' Go yelled, Kyo knew what was coming.

'No! No don't please stop!' Kyo begged.

'Sorry, honey, its gotta come out!' With that said Kyo started to panic, he backed up from the guy, hitting his back against the cold metal bars of the cell, he turned around. Taking in deep breaths from whatever oxygen outside the cell.

'ARRGGGHHHH!' Kyo shouted, at the same time Go's gas came out, loud and unstoppable, its sound and Kyo's voice echoed through the jail. Kyo was quiet for a moment, until he took a good whiff of the unbelievably disgusting stench of Go's lunch. Kyo banged on the bars again and again, he had never been so desperate to escape in his entire life. He heard numerous laughs from other cells. Yells were directed toward his cell.

'o0o0o0o0o0o0, you really worked that one, Go!'

'Yeah you know it, Baby!' Go yelled back.

Kyo sweat dropped, this was going to be very interesting, he knew it.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

'Lunch time!' the guard yelled, all cell doors of each cell opened automatically at the same time. Kyo sighed, he was relieved to get out of that cell, the stench just wouldn't go away. Kyo followed the other prisoners to a cafeteria full of long tables, everyone filed in a line, all taking turns on picking their foods.

Kyo looked around the place, cameras were every where, there was a guard in every corner, each one with a shot gun and a stick in their hand or belt. Kyo waited until he finally got to the end of the line and grabbed his dinner. Kyo closed his eyes, embracing himself for the worst food to come, but when he opened his eyes again he was shocked to find a well made breakfast, rice, fish, steak and two rice balls. Kyo licked his lips and couldn't wait to feast on them. He looked around to find a place to sit. Every table he passed the people vacating it gave him a cold hard glare warning him not to sit near them.

'Hey Kyo! You can sit here,' Kyo looked at the direction of the voice and wasn't at all surprised to find it was Go. Though he was a bit thankful for at least letting him sit with them. Kyo walked towards him and sat next to him, though he kept a good distance away. Kyo looked around the table and he saw them all staring at him.

'What?' he grunted at them, he had a cold stare in his eyes and his mouth had a deep frown.

'Nothing,' they all said and went back to eating what they had. Kyo was glad, he knew they were staring at him for his hair and eye colour, but thankfully they didn't bug him about it. Kyo pick up his chopsticks and picked at a bit of the fish, he eyed it before putting into his mouth, he chewed it for a while before instantly spitting it out in disgust. Everyone stopped eating and all looked at him, some chuckled at him, grinned or just ignore him, but after that they all went back to eating except for the people on his table.

'They make it look delicious, but once you taste it, it's the worst,' one of them said, he had tattoos on every part of his body, he had a good muscular body, but even though he was nice and bulky, he was short and bold.

'Why would they do that?' Kyo asked.

'They like to mess with our heads is why,' the man said gruffly, Kyo nodded slowly he eyed his food, looking at it in disgust, he pushed the tray away and instead just sat there and stared into space. Too bad I don't get to eat Tohru's good cooking anymore, they were always the best, Kyo thought, unconsciously he let out a big sigh, the people on his table stared at him again, they didn't say anything, just eyed him carefully, as waiting for something to happen. Kyo didn't notice all the eyes staring at him, he could only think of one thing, one person. Tohru…I miss her already. Kyo ruffled his hair up, he covered each eyes with his hands and let his elbows lean on the table. All of them just look at them. Go's eyes were full of sympathy. The rest either looked either confused or equally depressed.

'W-what did…what did you do?' Kyo looked up and a saw a scrawny man looking at him, Kyo closed his eyes.

'It's a long story,' he replied.

'We all have a story,' the man said, 'we may be criminal, but we always listen to how it all started.' Kyo just grunted, everyone on his table put their spoons down. It was silent for a while, until the man sitting next to the scrawny man started to speak, this one was tall, he had the scruffy look, with all the stubbles on his chin and ruffled up grey hair happening.

'My son was killed while trying to save my life,' Kyo's eyes shifted towards his.

'We were having a normal father-son day out, I only get to see him once a month because of court rules, you see my wife and I divorced and we fought over him for custody, eventually she won, well anyway, that day I thought I would bring my kid to the beach, we had a great time too. But when it started getting dark we decided to walk home so we could see the stars, but when we were passing an ally way a hand grasped my mouth so I couldn't yell or scream, the man dragged me further into the ally, my son tried to stop him, but the guy had a gun, he shot my son when he tried to come closer, as soon as the guy realized what he did, he let me go, dropped his gun and ran away, I stayed by my sons dead body all night. I was stupid enough to pick up the gun, so when the cops caught me they thought I had killed him,' When the man had explained this Kyo could see the unshed tears he was trying to hold back, the scrawny guy next to him patted his back, then he started to talk.

'They thought I killed my wife, I was coming home from work when I saw her on the floor, lying there in a puddle of her on blood, I didn't know what to do, but the blood was getting to me so I thought I should clean it up, but then the cops came and thought I did it all, and that I was trying to hide the blood. No matter how many times I denied it they just wouldn't believe me, I don't know who killed her, but I do know that it wasn't me, you have no idea how much I miss her,' the man said.

'Oh, I have an idea,' Kyo mumbled to himself, he looked around the table, most of them looked away, they obviously didn't want to talk about what happened to them, but when Kyo looked at Go, the guy nodded.

'My partner at the time, he was a drug lord, and I had no idea. When my friend told me about his secret I was going to go over his house and kill him, literally, but when I got there, it looked as if some one had beaten me to it. He was on his bed, I though he was sleeping and I just kept on yelling him, when he wasn't waking up I hit him, but he still hadn't woken up, so when I took the blanket of him, there was blood everywhere, I was frozen and I didn't know what to do, when the cops stormed in, they saw me with a baseball bat in my hand and assumed it was me, bitches, they don't know anything these days,' Go explained, hatred was in his eyes, but so was sadness. It was silent.

'You mean, everyone in this table, none of you guys did anything?' Kyo asked, they all looked at him, 'all of you are in this shit hole because you were found in the scene of the crime,' the all nodded slowly, 'dammit! What kind of cops do we have here?!' Kyo yelled. All of them didn't say anything.

'So…how did you get in here?' the same tattooed man asked. Kyo sighed.

'Mines about the same as you guys, but some how totally different,' they all looked at him confused, 'I…I made sure that came to jail,' he heard Go gasp.

'Why, baby?' Go asked.

'To protect her,' Kyo muttered, but everyone heard him, whispers came from random people on the table, but they quickly silenced themselves when Go glared at them.

'Who's…"her",' he asked.

'Tohru, she…she went to visit Akito so she could save me, but when she went over there, Akito almost raped her but she was so lucky enough to find something to defend herself with, but she defended herself a little too much, she kept hitting him and hitting until he was dead, though she didn't even notice until she saw the blood. And that was when I came in, she told me what happened, then the cops arrived, I told her to run, she tried to make herself stay, but at the end she eventually ran, I went back inside the room and covered myself with his blood, and I held the murder weapon in my hand, I waited for the cops to come, when they did they arrested me, and yeah you know the rest,' Kyo said.

'Why?' the scrawny man asked, 'why would you do that?'

'Because I loved her, and I had to protect,' Kyo said, 'you see since I was little I was an outcast from my own family, my mother killed herself because of me, my father abandoned me, and my cousins looked at me like a disgusting thing, I was then adopted by a man who took good care of me, Kazuma Sohma. And then I met Tohru, she accepted me straight away without even judging me. No matter how many times I've yelled at her or been rude to her she always found a way to forgive me, she was always there when I needed her the most, and the only way I could repay her as by protecting her,' Kyo said, he held back the tears that were about to come out, but when he looked up he saw everyone looked at him as if they all understood.

'We've all lead a tough life, honey. But I have got to say, you win,' Go said. Kyo chuckled.

'Thanks.'

'My names Hayate by the way,' the man with all the tattoos said, 'this is ken,' he pointed at the scrawny guy, 'and this is Kawura,' he said pointing at the scruffy guy. One by one he introduced all of the guys on the table, one by one they said a little greeting to him.

'I'm Kyo, Kyo Sohma,' Kyo said. As soon as he said that everything was silent, he looked around and saw everyone's eyes widen.

'You….you're a Sohma?' they all said in unison.

'Yeah….why?' Kyo looked confused.

'I can't believe it! We told our stories to a Sohma!' Kawura yelled, slamming his fist on the table, Ken beside him flinched. Kyo could only guess that his family was bad news to this jail, Kyo looked around the table, all of their eyes were now glaring at him, Kyo sighed, he leaned on the table with is elbow, his hand supporting the side of his head.

'What did my family do now?' Kyo said casually, they looked surprised, 'look, I may be a Sohma, but there are heaps of Sohma's out there, three quarters of them I don't even know, besides the quarter that I do know hates me, and I hate them all the same,' Kyo explained. They all looked at one another and nodded.

'A Sohma owns this jail, he's the big boss around here, all guards go under his orders, they all see him as if he's God, I don't see what's so special about him, no one has actually seen him face to face and yet they still think he's the almighty, if you ask me I doubt he's even been here before, we keep hearing the guards saying he has this serious illness so he doesn't go out much,' Hayate explained, 'he's the one that made up the goddamn rules around here, he's the one that thought of messing with our heads with the food, he's the one that ordered the guards to give us as much of a hard time in here as possible, it's all of his ideas that make this place hell,' he said, all of them nodded at the end. Kyo smirked.

'Why you smiling, its not meant to funny, boy,' Go said.

'Has anyone seen what he looks like,' Kyo asked.

'Well one guard said he saw him once, he said that he was really young, but always pale, another guard said he's always in kimonos and yukata and such,' Kawura said.

'I'm surprised the guards got all their facts right, you'd think they'd only be rumours but they were true,' Kyo said more to himself then to the others, they looked at him surprised for the hundredth time today.

'You've seen him before?' Ken asked.

'Well yeah, he's the head of the Sohma family, I forgot to tell you that the quarter of the Sohma's I know are the middle of the whole Sohma clan, I guess you can say we're… the core of the family?' Kyo explained.

'EHH?!' All of them gasping.

'don't worry, don't worry, no one liked him anyway, you think he's so evil about all these jail rules, well he way more worse,' Kyo said, 'He's punished pretty much all of us, for example, Yuki, as much as I hate him, he still had a pretty bad childhood, Akito would lock him in a room and do all sorts of sick things to him, though Akito was about my age he was still an evil bastard as a kid,' all of them stared wide eyed at the orange-haired teenager, all listening intently.

'Oh, not to mention he wouldn't allow any of us to love, for example Hatori, our family doctor, he fell in love, he was engaged but Akito wouldn't allow it, in the end Hatori's left eye became half blind. Not to mention Kisa and Hiro, their still very young yet they love each other, but Akito hurt Kisa which caused Hiro to drift away from Kisa in case she got into more injuries, but that only lead to Kisa being teased at school, and then that soon lead to her being depressed that included her not talking to anyone.' Kyo kept going.

'But, if you ask me, I reckon my cousin Rin got into the worst shit with Akito, Akito would always threaten her to stay away from Haru, who she loves by the way, though she tried to, she couldn't. Rin became really depressed and started starving herself which got her really sick, when she was in the hospital Akito came to visit her and ended up pushing her out the window,' Kyo finally finished and got his breath back, Kyo looked around and noticed more criminals from other tables came and crowded around his table and listening to the whole thing, all of them gawking at him in utter shock. Kyo stared back at all of them, when they kept silent and just stared Kyo began to get annoyed.

'Stop staring already!' Kyo yelled, all of them snapped out of their daze and went back to being casual as if nothing ever happened, he heard numerous fake coughs and one guy asking another, 'so…ahem…what were we talking about' with a goofy smile on his face, though the person he had asked replied by saying, 'what are you on about my table was in the other side of the cafeteria from yours, how could we have been talking?'

'Baka's,' Kyo muttered to himself, suddenly everything went quiet, all heads whipped towards him, all eyes turned to glares, all dopey expressions suddenly turned to gangsta expressions. Kyo looked around him and knew he had said the wrong thing.

'NANI?!' they all yelled, numerous eyes were twitching in anger.

'What did you just call me?!' one guy yelled.

'Unforgivable!' another yelled.

'He's going wished he never said that,' one guy said punching his fist into his own hand, he walked towards Kyo. Kyo gave a sigh and looked the other way, trying to ignore the man.

'Hey! Don't be so full of it, orangey, look me in the eye, coward!' the guy yelled. The nicknames hit Kyo like a rock, he looked at the man glaring a thousand daggers at him. Kyo abruptly stood up from his seat, the crowd backed away, giving the two men some space.

'Step back, step back, babies, they about to get it on!' Go yelled from where he was, backing more people away.

'Don't touch me, faggot!' a guy yelled as Go tried to push him to step back, Go froze.

'Oh, you did not just call me that!' Go yelled clicking his fingers over his head, a hand on his hip.

'Hey,' Hayate's deep voice looked between the two, 'don't steal the spotlight from Kyo and Kenishi, I wanna see what Kyo's got,' Hayate said, a smirk was on his lips.

'You got lucky this time,' the man said to Go.

'Hmph' Go said walking away, his head up high. Kyo and Kenishi ignored the little quarrel for they had their own to deal with. Each of them took a step closer to one another.

'Let's get this over with,' Kyo told him, Kenishi cracked his knuckles, Kyo cracked his neck.

'Eck, disgusting,' Go muttered to himself.

Kyo stood still, Kenishi made the first move, he aimed to punch his nose, Kyo titled his head sideways, making him miss. Kenishi growled. He went to punch his gut, but Kyo caught his fist with his hand, Kenishi tried to make him let go, but his grip was hard as rock, Kyo wouldn't let go. Kenishi tried to throw another punch to Kyo's face with his other hand, however Kyo made a quick move and ducked just in time, still holding Kenishi's fist in his hand, Kyo sweeped him off his feet with a swift low kick. There was a load crack, Kyo had sweeped Kenishi on the floor as well as break his arm at the same time. Kenishi yelled in pain.

'OH MY GOD! THE PAIN! THE AGONY!' he yelled.

'Man down! Man down!' the same man who had called Go a faggot shouted and rushed to Kenishi's side.

'Tsukusa… I can't feel me legs!' Kenishi yelled.

'Bullshit, it's your arm I broke not your legs, don't exaggerate,' Kyo said.

'Okay, that's it, you gonna die now!' Tsukusa yelled, he stood up and faced Kyo.

'You look weaker than him, and I took him out in less than five minutes, I'll could take you out in one second,' Kyo said.

'Don't be so cocky you just got into jail and you already acting so high and mighty!' Tsukusa yelled.

'Fine, I'll prove it,' Kyo said, and BAM just like that Tsukusa was down, unconscious, Kyo had punch him right in the head in one second like he had predicted. Kyo sighed and started to walk away.

'Segoi!' Go dreamily said.

'Matte!' Kyo stopped walking and turned around to face a man about his height, with black hair and pale skin.

'What?' Kyo said getting annoyed.

'Kazuma Sohma, you said he was your adoptive father,' the guy said, 'you mean Kazuma Sohma, as in martial arts unbeatable master in all of Tokyo?' the man asked.

'Yeah, him. What about it?' Kyo asked, one eyebrow raised.

'No way! He's the one that taught you martial arts wasn't he? Holy crap I am like a huge fan of his!' the guy said.

'Yes he was my master since I was little, he taught me almost everything he knows,' Kyo said. When he looked around he noticed all the people that had once been crowding around him were now a very far distance away from him, as in the other side of the cafeteria away from him. The only people who stood their ground was Tsukusa, though he was still unconscious and the guy who was still babbling on, even Kenishi was struggling to stay away from him.

'WHAT THE HELL?!' Kyo yelled. Go ran towards him a trail of non-existent dust behind him.

'You see, because of this freak right here,' Go pointed at the man who was still babbling on about something, 'we know about Kazuma Sohma and how good of a martial artist he is, and now that we know you were trained by him and he was your adoptive father, they all decided not to mess with you anymore, but honey I am gonna stick to you like glue!' Go said latching onto him, Kyo shook him off.

'No way in hell,' Kyo said and started to walk off, behind him all of the criminals talking amongst themselves saying something about either Kyo or Kazuma. As Kyo walked out of the cafeteria he smirked, a little smirk no one can see.

Go walked up to all the people that he had been sitting with.

'I think we got us our ticket to don't-mess-with-us-baby-or-matches-gonna-go-Jackie-chan-on-you,' Go said, laughing at what he thought was funny.

'Matches?' Ken raised an eyebrow.

'Yeah, honey, that's his new nickname, imma call him Matches from now on, with his burning hair colour going on,' Go said.

'Not bad,' Hayate said, thinking about it, 'yeah, I think I'll call him that too,' soon everyone nodded agreeing with the new found nickname.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

'Hey,' a guard whispered waving over to another guard to come over.

'What?' the other guard asked with an annoyed tone.

'That new kid, Kyo or something, he's the adopted son of Kazuma Sohma, you know that freak, Jiro keeps talking about, I also heard him talking about the big boss,' the guard told him.

'Are you sure you heard right, Kira?'

'Yea, apparently he knows him, I'm telling you, Garu, this kids a Sohma and knows more about our boss then us,' Kira said.

'Any more dirt?' Garu asked.

'Yeah, he took down Tsukusa in one second.'
