FRUITS BASKET : SACRIFICE

Scars

Yuki was walking alone when he spotted Kagura and Momiji in a resteraunt.' Are they on a ...date.' he thought. His thoughts were confirmed when Kagura started majorly making out with Momiji. Yuki's jaw dropped.

" To tell Kyo or not to tell Kyo , that is the question. Not gonna tell." he quietly said out loud.

" What are you not gonna tell Kyo?" came a female voice from behind him.

Yuki turned around to see Machi. " Hello. Well Kyo used to be chased by a rather aggressive girl but I just saw her actually making out with Momiji. That image is burned into my brain for all eternity."

" Good for Momiji. He's nice." Machi said." I saw you and I thought I would say hi. So umm...Hi." she blushed.

Yuki smiled." Where are you headed?"

" Just some shopping."

" Well let me help you.It's not safe for young women to go out alone at this time of night.You might run into a pervert , like Shigure or Ayame."

Machi laughed." Well when you put it that way."

From afar they were being watched from Kiana with binoculars.The somebody grabbed the binoculars. Haru.

" I knew the minute Shigure said Akito wanted you to stay at his house that you were up to something." Haru said." Come on we are going back to the house."

As he grabbed her arm she screamed in pain. " Why are you screamin -," Haru started to say but felt his hand become moist.He looked at were he had grabbed her and noticed blood. " What the - . Did Akito do this to you? "

" I can't tell you." Kiana told him. " You wear head- to- toe- clothing , leaving nothing exposed. I wonder..." he pulled her sweater up and found scars all up her arm." I was right. Am I also right that there are more scars on you ,not just this arm."

Kiana nodded her head in shame.

" I'm gonna let your arm go but please don't run away.Okay Kiana."

" Okay."

He released her arm ." You won't tell me how you got these scars but will you tell me how many. Are their anymore open wounds like the one on your arm that need tending too."

Kiana nodded her head yes.

" Where?"

" My back."

" Okay. I'm gonna take you somewhere safe and help treat your wounds.Your safe with me ,alright. You can trust me."

Kiana looked at him sadly. " The last person that said that to me lied."

" Well they ain't me." he smiled.

" I feel dizzy." Kiana said." Forgot to eat." She nearly passed out.

Haru gently put her in his arms and away they went.
