CHAPTER 6

Chris: Wow, that was AWESOME!

Me: I KNOW!

Yuki: Miss Mockingjay, can I say the disclaimer?

Me: Sure Yuki!

Yuki: Miss Mockingjay doesn't own Fruits Basket.

I was crying inside as we left the 'party'. I knew I had made this decision, but I couldn't help feeling like this wasn't my fault. But, at least I wasn't running away. I was put into a cage, and turned into a wolf. I just sat there the whole ride home, sitting in the trunk, looking at the ground. When someone came to get me out, I saw it was Josh. He tried to talk to me. I just closed my eyes. He tried to apologize, saying "I should've known from the start." But I wasn't going to listen to that junk. All I said was, "Please, leave me alone," and I'm not sure he even heard me. He tried to look me in the eye, but I turned my head away.

I think he knew we weren't ever going to be the same again. When I stood in front of the whole Sohma family and got whipped, I said nothing. I had become mute, mentally. I passed out after whip 23. I woke up to Hatori's face looking down on me.

"Do you feel okay?" I nodded to this.

"You heal very fast," I touched my palm to my chin and let the back of my hand fall into my other hand's palm. This meant thank you in sign language.

"Is there something wrong with your voice?" I shook my head. He knew what had happened to me that night. He hopefully understood.

"You know, everyone misses you," Hatori said

"Ha-ha, no they don't" I thought to myself.

The next day I was summoned to Akito's room. I saw Tohru, Hatsuharu, Yuki, and Kyo in there. They all looked sad to see me in her room.

"You know what you have done, and must therefore be punished for it,"Akito sounded confident. She had two vases by her. She took one, and smashed it over my head. I felt blood running down my face.

"CHRIS!" everyone in the background screamed. She did the same with the other one. More blood was shed. I was cut with shards of glass on my ankles, my legs, and my wrists. I still said nothing. I remember hearing people screaming my name, and being cut again. Then I passed out from lack of blood. I felt weak, that I couldn't be strong for those people in back of me.

Kyo's POV

She was just kneeling. Accepting the pain. After she was out cold, Akito was carried away, and Hatori came in to take Chris away. We all watched this happen. We couldn't do a thing about it too.

"You know, it's a shame," Hatori was lifting her out of the room. A word seemed to come out of her mouth, "sorry"

Tohru burst into tears at that point. I tried to comfort her, but I accidentally hugged her and turned into a cat. She hugged me anyways. We rushed into Hatori's operation room. He gave her 20 stitches in all. He told us to let her rest. And to hope for the best. (THAT RHYMES!^.^) She had had a low pulse.
