Chapter 11
'Akito? No, this isn't happening. Shin. I have to get out of here!' Kaiya
thought franticly.
"Kaiya are you ok." Kyo said at the sight of Kaiyas frantic face.
"What? Oh, yeah, Im fine."
"Are you sure? You dont look well. You sure your up to this?"
"A-Yeah, its-its nothing" Kaiya said, putting on a smile to mask her true
feelings. She didnt want to go. She didnt want to see Shin, or Akito agian.
She just wanted a life away from all of it. But she knew, deep in her
heart, that she couldnt run away, she had a destiny, and if she didnt do
her part to fullfil it. Everyone she cared for would suffer.
"Hey, Kaiya. When you hugged me back there, why didnt i change into a dog?
The only possible way is if you were part of the zodiac, but thats
imposible." Shigure said, wundering out loud.
"Its, its because I am part of the zodiac. I am the second cat born into
the zodiac. There are ohers like me aswell. We are the 'Sohma Similars'.
And each of us have a special purpose as to why we are here, a similar is
born when the fate of a 'True' Zodiac member, is too great for them to do
on their own. We all need help to find the right path to fulfil our
destiny. And mine, has led me here. Right now, all i can do is stay by my
similar, Kyo, and do my part to make sure he knows his fate and to make
sure he fulfils that fate. He cannot fail! and that is what I am here for.
To make sure he doesnt fail. That is all I can say now."
Shigure, Kyo, Tohru all sat in silence after she spoke. They didnt really
know what to say. How could there be 2 cats? And two of other animals in
the zodiac. And what was all this 'fate' and 'destiny' stuff she kept
talking about? What did it all mean? And did it have something to do with
the look on her face, as the distance to the main house grew steadily
shorter.
"We're here." Shigure anounced, "Now Kaiya, Kyo and I will go in with you.
And i beleave Hatori will be there as well."
Kaiya nodded. It was now or never. She knew what she had to do. "Lets go."
She said with confidence.
"Tohru, you should wait somewhere quiet while we get this all worked out."
"Hai." Tohru said obediantly as she went to go find some of the other
Sohmas around.
"Lets go." Kyo said with a bit of nerviousness in his voice. He was never
too fond of the Sohma head, and even if he tried not to show it, he feared
Akito. And going into the main house now, was something he didnt want to
do. Everything in side him was screaming to turn back. But he had to do
this. He wasnt about to let Akito treat Kaiya the way Akito had treated
him. He wouldnt.
"Hatori, should we go see Akito now?" Shigure asked his friend as they
approched Hatori, who was standing at the front of the house.
"Yes, he is waiting." and they all walked inside.
"Wait here." Hatori comanded as the four of them now stood in front of
Akitos room.
Hatori vanished into the room, and a minute later came out telling them
they could go in.
"I'll go in first." Kaiya said nerviously. And before any of them could
protest she swiftly went into the room and locked the door. Leaving Shigure
and Hatori staring wide eyed and Kyo pounding on the wooden door.
"Its been a long time. Kaiya." came a cold voice from a shadow somewhere
deep in the room.
"Yes, it sertinly has. Brother."
"You will not address Akito-sama in that way you dispicable wench!" Came a
second voice that made itself known as the owner of the voice landed a hard
slap to the face on Kaiyas tender cheek.
"I should have known you would come too Shin. Akito could never fight his
own battles. He always was weak. Both of you. Trying to hide your
weaknesses with your power. You make me sick. I am ashamed to call you my
brothers!"
"YOUR ashamed. You do not have to live with the dishonor of having you HALF-
sister, be the most unworthy of all the zodiac. It is not even worthy of
being part of the zodiac. It deserves to be shund."
"Thats not why you shun the cat. and you know it. The reason why the clan
head has always had the cat shund is because-"
There was a loud slap as Kaiya had anouther slap on her face.
"Shin, I think it is time, we tought the cat, its place in life and in
line."
"Yes brother." and Shin slowly morphed into a fierce tiger as Akito grabbed
his whip.
"You know what to do." Shin growled through the mouth of a tiger. And when
she didnt, he lept forward and ripped her shirt off, leaving her only with
her bra on. They were going to beat her raw. There was nothing Kaiya could
do. She could only stand there. Frozen in fear as the memories all came
back to her. The memory of her first beating like this. It was the day
after she had found out her destiny. Her goal. To rid the Sohmas of this
curse!
There was a loud slap as Akito made his first whip to her back. it was soon
followed by the scraches from Shins tiger claws. They both scrached and
whiped simltaniously. Enjoying her suffering. And all the while, all Kaiya
could do was stand there. In silence as she took this from her beloved
brothers whom she loved.
"Why, why would they do this?! Why dont they want to be free? Have they
become so power hungry and evil, that they cant stand the thought of their
power over the Sohmas, gone? Has this greed corupted them both?" (kaiya)
On the last blow, both Shin and Akito Whiped and scrached their hardest.
And it was all Kaiya could do now, and she screamed and earsplitting cry
throughout the whole Sohma house. A cry that gathered all the people there
to the door of Akitos room, where once only Kyo, Shigure, and Hatori stood,
now there was haru, yuki, kyo, hatori, shigure, ayame, kisa, kagura, hiro,
ritsu, and tohru. All were gathered at the door by that one murderous cry.
"help. help me kyo" (kaiya)
.
"Stand up. You weakling. Dripping your dirty blood in front of us. You have
no respect." Spat Akito coldly
"People like you, do not deserve respect."
"You will pay for that bitch!" Shin yelled as he grabbed a whip of his
own(hes in human form again) and slapped her back with it again.
Kaiya winced in pain. She looked up when she heard a huge thumping on the
door and a voice calling to her from the other side. "Kaiya! Kaiya! hold
on. Just a bit longer." the voice pleaded
"Kyo." Kaiya mummbled. "No, you musent come here. I have to do this." She
gathered all her strength, stood up and put on what was left of her shirt.
The blood immediatly absorbing into her shirt. She stood firm, ready to
face them.
"You have one determined similar Kaiya, but will he still think the same of
you, when he sees your true form?" Akito thretened. "You know your demon
form is even uglyer then his. How will any of the Sohmas who you have
befriended react when they find out that your and ugly little bitch from
hell who doesnt deserve to live!"
Kaiyas strength wavered. A hand reaching up to touch the chocker necklace
her father had given her to hide her demon form.

"Kyo, what are you doing. You know its no use to do that. One person cant
break down this door." Yuki said trying to knock some sence into his
cousin. But Kyo didnt listen, he just kept on ramming himself into the
door. He had to get in. 'Im comming Kaiya.'(kyo)
As Kyo took a few steps back once again, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He
turned around to find Yuki there. "We'll charge on three." Kyo nodded, not
waiting around to find the hidden meaning behind his cousins actions. And
they charged for the door.

"Shin, get rid of her protective charm. Any second now that bastard cat
will come through that door and when he does, I'll make sure he, and all
them out there, see the curse and the true destiny of the cat." Akito
ordered with an evil grin on his face.
Shin gladly aproched Kaiya, with each step he took forward, Kaiya took one
step back untill she reached the wall and could run no further. Shin went
up from behind her and tried pulling the charms off, chocking her at he
same time. And it all happened at once, the beads breaking, her
transformation, the hidious laughing, and Kyo, along with Yuki, charging
down the door.
"Its all over!"(Kaiya)
.
Her skin bubbled as she could feel herself trancform into this .hideious
beast. "Kyo! Get out of here!! They'll do to you what they did to me. RUN!
Run away from here! LEave! Pleace!!!" she said starting to sob as she was
still half way through her transformation. Hands, turning into masive paws
and killer claws. "LEAVE!!! NOW!!" Kaiya pleaded. But Kyo was frozen in his
place. All words at a loss, and he took a few steps forward. "NOOOO! Get
back!" she yelled as she made her way to ward him off. "FORGET about me! Go
home! All of you! You dont need to see this. please. just go." She said
through tears.
"What will you do." Shin mocked. "will you run and leave her here at our
hands for her to suffer her life away, or will you join her in her fate."
Kaiya stood there, not knowing what exactly to say next.
"HA! Your as weak as Kaiya. Kill him as well." Akito said is his cold
voice.
"NOOOOO!" Kaiya yelled as she ran to Kyo and pushed him to the ground. Just
as Shins Tiger claws sunk into her back, which would have gone into Kyos
chest. "Go," she said throught the pain. "If you go now, there is still a
chance to lift the curse. If you stay here, we'll both die. If you live,
then there will be a bright future for all the Sohmas. I must do this." She
said as Shin took his claws out of her back and was ready to pounce once
more.
Before Kyo could do anything, Kaiya flung him out into the hallway as she
faced Shin and Akito head on.
.
"Shes finaly letting herself go." came a voice from the hall.
"Kazuma-san" Tohru said surprised to see him.
"What are you talking about?" Momiji asked in shock.
"Back when i was training her, it always seemed like she was holding back.
Like she desparatly wanted to fight with her all, but something always held
her back. Back then, she didnt know what she was fighting for, now she
fights for a purpose and that purpose gives her strength." Kazuma said
rather wisely.
"Shes fighting to lift the curse." Kyo said quietly, but loud enough for
all those there could hear.
As the fight went on, Kaiya was loosing stregth from all the blood she was
dripping from the wounds in her back.
She was loosing.
