Another Drabble

Chaos
After that visit at Shigure's house from Akito that night, an awful chain of events occurred.

It started up with the disappearance of Tohru: Akito taking her by force. He had been able to took her away only because they left her alone with Momiji in the garden. Even if it was only for a second, that thoughtless action left them with more than worry that night.

Momiji ran to the house, tears streaming out of his eyes, blood dripping from a wound on his cheek. He seemed quite bruised and you could see some blood appearing on his shirts and pants from the interior.

"He took Tohru! I couldn't do anything again! He took her! He…" The poor little rabbit couldn't continue, that wave of emotion had turned him to his animal form.

The first one to react was the cat. He ran out of the room. You could hear him cried: "I'll kill him!" as he passed the door. It echoed in the house a couple of time.

Reacting a little slowly, due to the shock, Yuki got up and was about to start running toward the door just like Kyou, but a arm stopped him. Frustrated, he turned around.

"Don't you understand what is happening? She might get kill there!"

Shigure understood pretty the sentiments that were Yuki's. But it was a mistake to go. He felt it. He just hope that the cat wouldn't mess it all.

"Yes I do. But, if we rebel, it might turn out even worse for her. Yuki, have faith in Kyou. You know he cares for her more than anything in this world. He won't let her get hurt. Everything should turn out alright. If you go… Akito won't be happy. It feels like he's waiting for the cat… you know you are one of his favourite… you shouldn't turn your back on him… you know he won't accept that. And it's not time for your death either. Just wait and see for now. If he hurts Tohru in anyway, I won't stop you again."

"Don't you see we may never have an again if something happen!" Yuki was angry, he couldn't control himself well and punched Shigure in the face before going out. He didn't go far though. Just in the garden, where there was an important amount of blood. He crumbled down and started to cry. Momiji, already in his rabbit form jump on Yuki. He embraced the little rabbit, they were looking for something to hold on tight, but only found they were struggling together and that was enough for now.

Kyou arrived there a little late. She was standing alone in front of Akito. He was talking to her but the cat couldn't make out his words. He touched her with his dirty hands. She flinched and it's at that moment that Kyou seemed to realize that she had already been hurt. She was bruised all over. With a roar of rage he started running to them, but was stopped by the firm grip of the rooster.

"No!" She shouted to Akito. "Kyou won't go, he won't disappeared into that room! I won't let it happen! I won't!"

But that just resulted on Akito clutching her hair and pulling her to him.

He murmured something in her ear.

"I won't let you do that to him! I won't let you hurt them Akito! Why don't you see that you're the one hurting them the most!"

"SHUT UP MONSTER!" He shouted to her face. He couldn't do anything, he was held there, immobile.

He murmured something again and she gasped. He let go of her hair to put his hands on her arms on each side.

She was there, looking so fragile, so alone, full of bruises and cuts, all done by HIS hands. Akito standing before her, his dirty hands burning the white silky flesh just below her shoulders. The room was dark, he was there unable to move, held back by the rooster, that stupid bird.

Akito brought his hand above her, and struck her with all his might. She fell down, blood from her cheek falling on the tidy floor. Kyou gasped.

She just stood up, still facing Akito, her back to the cat that is immobilized by the rooster. That monster just struck her again, slicing her cheek again, more blood dispersing on the white floor.

The cat couldn't take it anymore, he shouted. He shouted to him to stop, stop hurting her. She had nothing to do with it… she only didn't wanted him to disappeared in a dark room all alone.

She stood up again. Did she like to be struck like that?

"Stop it! Stop getting up! Stay down! NO! Stop it!" The cat cried out, tears almost stinging his eyes. Why was she so stubborn? She could have escaped that? WHY? Why……

Akito put his too bloodied hands on her cheeks, pulling her face a little, bringing her closer to his own face. He murmured something that the cat couldn't hear. She seemed to nodded obediently. Akito brought her face even closer and covered her small rosy lips with his.

Kyou let out a scream of terror.

It echoed through the room multiple times.

Akito let go of the girl, smiling evilly. He walked to Kyou, and as he approached, the cat could see the blood on his lips because he has biting little Tohru's. Akito licked it, savouring it.

"Sweetness of the innocence… doesn't it kill you inside?" He started laughing madly.

Akito left the room.

The rooster released him, disappearing into the darkness, going back to his master.

The cat couldn't move. He stayed there crying, looking at her back, hoping she would turn around and run to him. But she didn't.

After a while, he walked to her putting an hand on her shoulder. She flinched and he cursed himself.

She turned around, her bloody face looking calm and resolve. He eyes seemed hurt but relieved.

"I won't let you go without a fight Kyou. I don't want you to go. You don't seemed to be able to fight him alone. But you're not alone Kyou. I'm right by your side." She took his hand in hers and he started crying silently. He embrace her, his tears falling down like rivers. He won't let her get hurt again. He realized he had already promised him that in the past. He cursed silently.

They finally get back home. They didn't say what happened there. They entered and Kyou just led her to his room before getting the medical kit. No one uttered a word as they saw the state Tohru was in. They knew she would come down eventually and they could all embrace her but now, Kyou was the one who needed most to be with her alone. The cat just help her clean herself and bandage every cut he could see on her body. He gave her a t-shirt an a pair of boxer before taking a quick shower and coming back.

She was still there, sitting on his bed. He sit next to her for a while, before putting her on his lap and lying his back in the corner of the wall. They stayed there for a while and eventually fell asleep.

Downstairs, they couldn't sleep. They just waited for that night of nightmare to end, drinking tea, no speaking. They were just waiting. They couldn't do anything but wait. So they wait, and to sun rose up for another day.
