Chapter 10: Kidnapped

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yuki stumbled into his bed as a pair of glowing eyes watched him from afar, though he didn't notice them or the creature that they belonged to. He did notice a hand that lashed out to grab his throat. A smirk appeared on the creature's face as it watched another being appear in front of the gray headed boy.

"H-how did you!?"

He managed to gasp out while struggling for air as the hand lifted him up to make him hang slightly.

"Yuki…Have you forgotten what I told you? …I'm giving you another chance…Don't try to betray me or else you will regret it. Understood?"

"Y..y-yes…"

The hand released it's grip on Yuki's neck just as he was about to pass out.

"Good."

With that, the figure quickly abandoned the scene. Though the creature stayed to watch a while longer.

"Yuki? What happened!?"

"H-hatori…wh-why are you here?"

"Kyo gave me a call. He said that your visit with Akito had been loads of fun--for Akito."

"That stupid fool! I told him not to call you…"

"I'm glad he didn't listen. You'd be dead by morning if you had passed out without tending to these wounds of yours. Besides, he didn't tell me to come over. I was about to give Shigure a ride here when Kyo called. He had called for a very different reason."

"But, Kyo!" Shigure whined, "I just want to--"

"Don't you dare ask that snake to come over--if you do, I'll--"

"SHIGURE!! It's been so long, why haven't you called me!?"

"AYA!! I've missed you so, but Kyo and Yuki won't let me call you!"

"Shigure, Ayame…cut it out."

Aya quit hugging Shigure to shout,

"HA SAN! I haven't seen you in ages--"

"You saw me yesterday. Thanks to you and Shigure, I haven't had any sleep for the past two days!"

Ayame and Shigure shrunk back away from an obviously grumpy Hatori…

"So who is this young lady?"

Aya said as he lightly kissed Tohru's hand.

"T-torhu Honda…"

"Pleased to meet you, I am Ayame Sohma. You can call me Aya if you'd rather…Now, where's my dear little brother?"

"Eh? Whose your little brother Ayame?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"What are you doing here!? Shigure, did you invite him!?"

Yuki's eyes flamed as he lifted Shigure up by his collar but he was forced to drop him when he was given a rib crushing hug from Ayame.

"YUKI, my darling brother, how nice it is to see you! How--"

BAM!

Yuki had escaped from Aya's crushing grasp, threw him across the room, and then clutched his burning ribs that were already been cracked from his meeting with Akito.

"Damn, he's annoying!" mumbled Kyo.

"You can't possibly know the half of it, baka neko…"

Sparks began to fly between the two boys as they glared at each other but they stopped glaring long enough to give Aya a good beating when he tried to 'bond' with Yuki once more.

"*sigh* Shigure, I'm going back to the main house. I'll talk to him when I get there. Aya, come on. Kyo told me that Haru had been searching for you for some reason."

Ayame immediately appeared by Hatori's side and started chattering away to him. With a nod Hatori walked out of the house, with Ayame right behind him.

"Shigure? Was Hatori talking about him?"

Yuki said as motioned towards Kyo.

"No, not himhim."

Yuki's face darkened and Tohru stared back and forth between them, very confused. Shigure's face was fairly dark as well but then, as quickly as it had darkened, it was replaced with a big grin.

"Now, haven't we been to rude to this poor girl! You two should be ashamed for letting her eat all alone in such a scary house with who knows what lurking behind every corner, dark secrets, evil pasts, and--"

"Stop it Shigure, you're scaring the girl out of her wits." Kyo snapped as he pointed to the girl at the other side of the room who was obviously having very unpleasant thoughts running through her head.

"Oh dear, forgive me…I guess I get a little carried away sometimes. At any rate, we'll sit at the table with you for your lunch while you eat…unless you'd rather no--"

"No! I'd appreciate the company. I don't mind at all!"

Shigure chatted happily to Tohru and Yuki and Kyo glared at each other from across the table while she ate her lunch. After she was done, Shigure went into his study, Yuki went upstairs, and Kyo outside to check on something.

Tohru hummed to herself as she worked on cleaning the dishes. She turned to go put up a plate when she was forced to drop it and it landed with crash. One arm was twisted behind her back as a 'hand' clamped over her mouth. She saw nothing but could hear a soft breath near her right ear.

"You're coming with me."

Her eyes widened as she realized who the voice belonged to. She heard the front door open and she was immediately dragged into another room just before Kyo walked past the kitchen doorway, heading upstairs. After a few more seconds, Tohru was pushed/dragged out the front door. As soon as they were out of the house, she was flipped around, felt a sharp pain in her stomach--as if she'd been punched--and promptly began to black out.

"Yuki?" Shigure said as he cracked open the boy's bedroom door. When Shigure failed to see the boy, he went down stairs to ask Tohru if she'd seen him. He turned into the kitchen and froze.

"Shit, Kyo!"
