Chapter 7

Fuyumi's POV

I strolled through the park for a few minutes, admiring the scenery before I decided to go home. I cut through the park and soon hit the pavement. I thought I heard some shuffling in the alleyway ahead of me but brushed it off, it was probably just a stray dog...

As I walked pass the alleyway a hand grabbed my and pushed me down. I couldn't see his face, it was covered in shadow

"Remember me?" A voice snarled, I gasped.

"Y-you!" I stuttered it was him!

He smirked "Yes me" he laughed maliciously

Our eyes bored into each other his cold, hard black orbs staring into my terrified blue ones

"It seems you need a reminder." He growled smirking viciously as he dragged me deeper in to the alley and raised his fist.

Suteki POV

I saw a man grab Fumie and drag her into an alley. Oh no! I hopped as fast as I could to the park and through the path Momiji took. He can help! I had a bit of trouble, but eventually after a very long while (why am I so slow?!) I finally reached a big estate. I easily hopped through some bushes and continued my search for Momiji.

Fumie POV

He brought his fist down and smashed it into my ribs. I clenched my teeth not wanting to give him the satisfaction of hearing me scream. He continued to punch my chest, then punched my cheek bone. Finally after what felt like an eternity, he got up and kicked my gut.

"That's what you get. This is a kindness compared to what you'll get if your continue to interact with the Sohmas." He walked away. I closed my eyes and sighed. For the second time, I felt warm arms wrap under my legs and torso. I fluttered my eyes and saw the same guy as last time.

"You're the doctor." I muttered before passing out.

Momiji POV

I sat on my bed in my room with my arms crossed. I can't believe she defended him after he forcibly kissed her! Suddenly, I head hopping. I looked out my window and saw Suteki by herself. She looked tired. I ran out.

"Suteki! What are you doing here?!" I questioned as I took her in my arms. She was breathing heavily and twitched her nose at me.

"Some guy took Fumie into an alley. I think he hurt her!"

Just as I was about to respond I looked up. From here I could see the main gate. In walked Hatori carrying a limp body. It was Fuyumi!

I stood there to shocked to move until Suteki looked up at me twitching her nose.

"Are you gonna go help her? She's your girlfriend y'know" She squeaked

I blushed "She's not my girlfriend…" I grumbled,

Suteki rolled her eyes, I got the message. "Sure…"

I snuck into Hatori's office careful not to knock anything over. I looked at Fuyumi she was shirtless except for a lacy bra... it looked… sexy...I blushed

She looked terrible, her chest was a heaving mass of back and blue, her cheek was swollen and there were cuts and scrapes all over her.

"Who would do this?" I muttered

Fuyumi groaned and rolled onto her side, I glanced at her back.

My God her back...

It was covered in scars

Suteki let out a panicked squeak "Are you trying to kill me? Let go!"

Whoops, I must have been squeezing her to hard! I set Suteki down carefully, once she was on the floor she hopped from there to the bed and then onto Fuyumi's shoulder.

I walked over to Fuyumi. I leaned over and started to rubbing her back. Tracing the scars, I counted 13 in all. They were long thin lines going from just past her neck all the way down to her lower back. I guessed they were made by a whip but I wasn't sure

After a minute or two Fuyumi sighed in her sleep and inched closer to me.

I stared at the scars for a few more seconds before I decided to take the risk, she probably wouldn't remember this anyway...

I kissed her

"I'll catch whoever did this and keep you safe Fuyumi... I'll protect you..." I whispered

"What are you doing‽" Hatori said as he walked in I jumped

"Um… nothing" I muttered trying to inch my way towards the door.

"No, stay. I need to tell something." Hatori said

"Ok…" I muttered sitting down in the chair in the corner.

"Do you know why Fuyumi is here Momiji?" Hatori asked as he firmly bandaged Fuyumi's ribs

"Some guy beat her up..." I whispered the next part "and I'll kill whoever did this to her."

Hatori sighed "it wasn't just 'some guy' it was Akito" I gasped

"HE did this‽" I yelled

Hatori nodded "He doesn't approve of the Sohma's interacting with other people."

"But Tohru lives with Yuki, Kyo and Shigure, Why did Akito decide to not do anything to her?"

"Shigure, Ayame and I convinced him to leave her alone, I think Akito likes her, she's very sweet and innocent."

An image of the scars of Fuyumi's back burned it's way back into my mine. "Did he…" I said shuddering

(Hatori mind read powers go!) "Yes" he replied "She was 5, miraculous she survived, she lost a lot of blood"

I shivered "Why would Akito do such a thing? We were just kids she couldn't have done anything wrong!" I yelled

A dark thought crawled its way into my mind"What happened to her today is probably just a fraction of the pain she went through years ago..."

I heard a groan come from next to me. I turned

"What happened?" She moaned trying to prop herself up onto her elbows

"Please don't try to get up" Hatori said...

Fuyumi froze, her eyes got that glassy,faraway look. I've only seen it once before, and that was at the creek...

Fuyumi's POV -flashback-

I was 5

I was eating lunch were Momiji when I got called to the office. Immediately I started sweating

"Was I in trouble? Did I do something wrong? Were mommy or Ruey hurt?" Thoughts like these spun through my head

When I opened the door a kid stood up and walked over to me.

He said his name was Akito. I still shudder when I hear his name. He was only about 10 at the time but he still towered over me like a giant.

He bent down to my level whispering into my ear "come with me, act natural I will catch you if you try to run."

My blood turned to ice. What does he want from me? I was terrified, but I nodded. Lying to the secretary that Akito was my cousin who was taking me to a dentist appointment.

We walked down the streets for about 10 minutes Akito gripped my hand, trying to look normal, but I knew he was holding me so I couldn't escape.

He pulled me down into an ally forcing me to back against the wall. Tears leaked through my eyes. Akito laughed.

"Do you know why I brought you here my dear?" He asked I swear he sounded like a snake, a venomous one.

"N-no..." I squeaked wiping the tears for my eyes. Sissy always told me to be brave.

"Well let me tell you..." He hissed taking out something from his pocket

A whip

"What are y-you gonna d-do with that?..." I asked trembling, but I had a pretty good idea.

"I'm gonna teach you to STAY AWAY FROM THE SOHMA FAMILY" Akito yelled

I had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. I was backed against the wall.

The first lash hurt the most. The hard leather bit into my skin like a steak knife made of ice carving into my back

The next 13 were a blur of blood, pain and tears. I almost blacked out by the 12th lash but I stayed strong. I knew if I gave up I would die. I couldn't die, sissy needs me.

When it was over, Akito spat in my face folded his whip, which was now covered in my blood, and left, but not before saying...

"You have been punished. Mess with us again and I won't hold back."

I was drowning, drowning in a sea of red. I tried to scream for help but it only came out as a hoarse groan.

I was about to black out when I heard yelling... Someone picked me up a few seconds later.

I didn't get to see my savior's face

Or was he my killer.
