Chapter Six (Heehehehehehehe Teresa!)
Tsukushi woke up feeling slightly stiff. The bed was not nearly as soft as the one she was use to sleeping on. It smelled strange too. Doumyouji's bed always smelled like him. A strong and musky scent. She was use to it. This bed smelled like a faint impersonal soap. She hated it. She felt some tears leak out of her eyes as she stared up at the ceiling. It looked different, with ugly cracks in it. It was all ugly. Just like her.
She sat up on her bed. She opened a drawer. No clothes. Of course, all the clothes were in Doumyouji's room. She decided to stay in the clothes she was in. She couldn't brush her hair either. She sat on the bed again. She pulled her knees under her chin and rocked herself slightly. She did not want to see his eyes, so full of anger towards her. If Tsubaki and Shigeru saw her, they would think her pathetic. She didn't care though.
"Good morning Tsukushi!" Kazuya brought in a tray with her breakfast just like he did when she was in Doumyouji's room. A fresh wave of tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Morning Kazuya." Tsukushi voice cracked a little. The young red-haired man looked at her, full of concern.
"Tsukushi, if you..." Kazuya began but did not finish. "Why did the others tell me to bring your breakfast down here? Captain Doumyouji, I mean Doumyouji hasn't left his room yet this morning. But every once and awhile, he'll punch a fresh hole in the wall. He sounds angry. He locked his door so that no one can go in or come out! Something is going on here!"
"Me and Doumyouji...had a fight." Tsukushi finally said after a few minutes of silence.
"But you two fight all the time! Wait did he," Kazuya paused searching for the right words. "hit you?"
"No. Some things hurt worse then actually blows." Tsukushi told him, in a mature voice. Kazuya frowned a little. Tsukushi pushed the tray towards him. "I'm not hungry."
"A little breakfast might cheer you up! Sako made it special. Although he kind of ignores everyone, he knows something bad happened." Kazuya said.
"I'm not hungry Kazuya." Tsukushi repeated. "Just take it alright?" Kazuya glumly nodded and left with the tray. Punching holes in the walls? Why? Tsukushi curled herself back up. She did not want to get off the bed all day.
* * *
Tsukushi's eyelids flew open. She had went to bed that night, hoping to feel better tomorrow. Instead, no more then five seconds then had she laid her head down she heard a loud crashing noise. More crashing. What is going on up there?
"Those boys better calm down. Just cause I wasn't up there today doesn't mean they can go ballistic." Tsukushi heard a frightened yell. It sounded like Kazuya. She wasn't sure she wanted to know what was going on.

Red.
That was all he could see. He fought with it all day. Then he let it go. He left his humanity behind. He threw his whole body against the door. He wanted to get out...he wanted to kill....he wanted....her....
Red.
That was all he saw as he crashed through the door. He was going....to...get....what...he...wanted....
* * *
Rui, Soujirou, and Akira were all together in the Captain's Room. They were drinking tea and calmly discussing the situation.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" Soujirou asked as they heard a large crash.
"Doumyouji, busting through his door." Rui said matter o' factly.
"Oh, so he finally decided to let it take over huh?" Akira sipped some of his tea. "Are you sure this door is secure?" The door to the room was barred and they had several huge crates and the desk piled up against it. The only thing that wasn't in the pile were the table and the three chairs they were using.
"No." Rui answered bluntly.
"Doumyouji is scary when he goes berserk. I saw his father when his berserker blood gets riled up, I thought he was going to break down the entire castle!" Soujirou added in.
"Do you think the other's will be okay?" Akira questioned the other two.
"Sako should be fine, he's usually way down in the ship working on mechanical stuff. Kazuya is probably hiding under his covers though." Soujirou and the others all burst out laughing.
* * *
"I'm scared!" Kazuya wailed. It was slightly muffled though because he was doing what he always did when he was scared. Hid under his covers.
* * *
"Hmmm..." Rui took a sip of his tea. "Maybe we should go check on Tsukushi."
"Why? She's probably okay where she is." Akira said, putting down his cup.
"Well it's just that," Rui's face went a tinge pink. "When a berserker's blood gets in control, it makes them revert back to their basic animal instincts."
"So?" Soujirou's face was completely bewildered.
"Basic animal instincts." Rui repeated, putting a little more emphasis into his phrase.
"Like he's hungry?" Akira guessed also looking just as confused as Soujirou.
"No, his basic animal instincts." Rui repeated again putting even more emphasis on each word.
"Oh." The one syllable was accompanied by Soujirou's wide eyes.
Akira crossed his arms and started to pout a little. "Well I'm still confused! I mean 'basic animal instincts?' What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Akira, his basic animal instincts!" Soujirou told his friend. Akira's eyes went very wide.
"Oh." Akira finally seemed to understand. "Maybe we should check on Tsukushi." They rushed over to the door which was blocked. They began to pull the boxes away as quick as they could. Every moment could mean someone's death...
* * *
Tsukushi woke up when she heard a growling noise coming from outside in the hall. Is there an animal in here? Tsukushi was really going to let them have it tomorrow. They'd be polishing the ship until it sparkled!
The door flew open, the hinges breaking as it smashed into the wall across the room from it. Tsukushi sat straight up.
"What the hell is-" She cut off her angry yell when Doumyouji came into view. He was crawling on all fours like a dog. And he was growling. Tsukushi turned on the oil lamp next to her bed. Doumyouji's eyes were completely bloodshot. What's wrong with him? "Doumyouji!"
Suddenly, without warning he pounced on top of her. She struggled underneath him. She reached up to shove him away and found that he had her arms pinned down.
"Stop it!" She exclaimed. Maybe this is some sort of weird nightmare. She hoped it was. "Get off of me Doumyouji!"
He couldn't seem to speak right. His blood shot eyes looked around. She tried to kick him. His legs were pinning hers down. She couldn't move. She had always thought that she was strong enough for anything. Then suddenly his lips covered her own. It hurt so badly. He was kissing her too hard and too rough. Her lips were bruising. She felt tears of pain start to flow down her cheeks. Someone help me...
His hands started to rip at her clothing and she tried to get away. Anything to get away. His mouth moved from her own and she screamed for help. Suddenly though, she cried out in pain. Doumyouji was biting her. Biting her neck. Somebody...
"Tsukushi!" Rui's voice made her turn her head, to see Rui, Akira, and Soujirou all staring at the scene in horror. Doumyouji lifted his head and growled at the menacingly. He looked ready to kill.
"Um, Doumyouji?" Soujirou was practically squeaking. Doumyouji seemed about to do something when his eyes closed and he just collapsed on top of Tsukushi. A few moments of silence went by before Tsukushi realized he was asleep.
"Are you okay?" Akira asked her bravely coming into the room followed by the others.
"Well I'm not dead yet if that's what you mean. Can someone get him off of me? He weighs a ton!" Tsukushi's angry yell made the others go white in the face.
"Shhhh. Don't wake him up. We'd move him but he might wake up. If a berserker wakes up before he's ready, he'll still be enraged." Rui explained to her.
"Doumyouji's a berserker?" Tsukushi asked even though it was obvious.
"One half. His dad is a full blooded one. It's okay if we leave him here right?" Soujirou asked her.
"As long as you get him off of me so I can leave the room." Tsukushi said crossly.
"We can't move him, he'll wake up and possibly kill everyone in the room and do who knows what to you!" Akira explained to her completely exasperated.
"I can't sleep like this!" Tsukushi got one of her arms free and touched her neck. It was bleeding where his teeth had sunk into her smooth flesh. "He bit me!"
"On the neck?" Rui's eyes went very wide.
"Yes." Tsukushi sighed. "Why?"
"Nothing." Rui shrugged and somehow his eyes returned to their normal size. "I know how you must feel Tsukushi but we really shouldn't move him." Rui's eyes were pleading with her.
"Fine." Tsukushi dreaded the thought of having to stay like this all night. "But if he wakes up again...." She trailed off. Soujirou pulled something out of his back pocket. It was a dagger.
"Only if he wakes up." Soujirou said solemnly. "Try not to kill him."
"I won't." Tsukushi frowned at it but put it right next to her. He did feel like he weighed a thousand pounds.
"Good thing he wore himself out all day, otherwise..." Rui trailed off, his voice almost a warning. They started to leave the room.
"We'll be listening." Akira told her comfortingly.
"Just give a holler if you need us." Soujirou gave her a small smile. They all walked out the doorway. They couldn't close the door of course as it was on the other side of the room. Tsukushi sighed at her situation. Her neck hurt, her lips ached, and her wrists had bruises rising where Doumyouji had gripped them. And now she had to sit there and sleep in the same room as him?
"Please don't let him wake up until he's recovered." Tsukushi pleaded with no one in particular before staring off into the darkness until at last, she actually drifted off towards sleep.

-_- ------that's my sad face.
Will Doumyouji wake up and be all beserky? Will Tsukushi have to stab him? Will he wake up recovered? Will Tsukushi still stab him? Will we find out Soujirou and Akira have a bet over this? In that case, did Soujirou win like he always does? Will Kazuya come out from under the covers? Will Sako be oblivious to what happened? Will Rui next time just tell Akira and Soujirou what's going on? Why can't they take a hint? Will we find out why Rui was interested in Tsukushi being bitten on the neck? Will it matter? Or will it be something weird like in the HYD movie when Rui stole Tsukushi's panties? Why did he do that? Why did Tsukushi think he was great after he did that? What the hell was up with him in the movie anyway? Why was he such a freak? Will the author get back on topic? Will the author stay on topic? Will the author stop writing? Will she pump out another chapter before she calls it a night? Why does she just keep writing? Not to mention Makiko! Stay tuned!
