Torture
Kyoawoken once more and nearly screamed in pain. 'Everywhere, IT HURTS! IT…HURRTTTSS!' Kyo's thoughts screamed in his head but he refused to let out a sound. He will not let Akito have the upper hand. "I will not let Akito do this, I WILL NOT!" Kyo hissed out in frustration and anger. However, he didn't know the irony of what he had just said.
Kyo gently blew on his arms and winced. The terrible bloody red gashes down his chest, back and shoulder was even in worse pain than his arms. He felt like he couldn't move anymore then once more the door opened again, revealing his one true nightmare….
Tohru and Yuki just came back from yet another day of school. 'Kyo, you never did come to school, huh? I miss you…Kyo' Tohru thought with sadness as a teardrop fell. Yuki immediately stopped Tohru and looked at her questioningly in her eyes.
"Tohru? You…are you still thinking of Kyo?"
"Ye….(sniff)…yes"
"Don't worry, he will come back, I'm sure of it."
"You really think so?
"Of course, Tohru!"
"I really…(sniff)…I really feel so…so guilty…Kyo…he really does hate me now, I'm sure…"
"No, Tohru, it's my fault, don't blame yourself, ok?"
"But…But…I…I…arggggg"
Tohru went forward and hugged Yuki, not caring if he transformed. Tears streamed down her face.
"Poof!" Yuki transformed into a mouse. He looked at her sadly as she clung to him, crying. 'Tohru…please don't be sad…I wish you…will cheer up…and not feel guilty…' He thought as he lifted his little head to face up to the sky. 'Kyo…WHERE ARE YOU!'
Shigurelooked out towards the path, waiting for Yuki and Tohru to come home. 'They sure are late…I hope that they are alright…' Shigure looked up to the sky, it was a wonderful day, sunlight shone through the trees, warmth was felt everywhere. It was one of these days, Shigure would have once named it perfect. 'But everything isn't perfect. It's worse.' Shigure shuddered at the thought. He felt something was wrong, terribly wrong…
Kyo had to get away but he couldn't. Now, he was being handcuffed. Akito had said that that way, Kyo wouldn't scratch him while he did what…he…likes. Kyo scrambled to the corner as Akito raised his whip into the air. "WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!" The sound of the whipping echoed throughout the main house and Kyo's soft whimpering. Kyo knew that he would not like Akito have the upper hand so he tolerated the excruciating pain. He will have new whipping marks now…
Kyo felt like he had died, each whipping caused him to tense up his hands and the handcuff cut into his skin, forming deep cuts round his wrists. But Akito did not have enough. He attached a sharp pointed thing at the end of the whip and whacked Kyo again. This time, Kyo screamed out in agony and suffering. It was glass! He felt it slice into his skin, flesh, leaving behind long trails of blood that once again began dripping to the floor. However, this was worse than last time…the torture was terrible. Now, Kyo's horrible screams echoed throughout the main house and Hatori jerked up from his sleep, shock and terrified from what he had heard...
"YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE WELL-LIKED? HUH? ANSWER ME!"
"…."
"WELL, YOU AREN'T. EVERYONE HATES YOU AND YOU KNOW THAT…THEY HATE YOU…THEY DO!"
"SHUT UP! THEY DON'T! THEY DON'T…."
"TSH! HOPELESS LITTLE KITTY! CAN'T GET OUT FROM MY GRIP! NOBODY LIKES THE CAT…NO ONE"
"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHHHUUUTTT UPPPP! TOHRU LIKES ME; SHIGURE CARES FOR ME…EVEN…EVEN YUKI…"
"YOU THINK THEY LIKE YOU! DO YOU KNOW THAT TO THEM YOU ARE A PEST…SEE? EVEN TOHRU PREFERS YUKI THAN YOU. SHE LOVES HIM! CAN'T YOU SEE? HUH? HUH? EVEN SHIGURE, HE ONLY CARES SO THAT HE CAN KEEP AN EYE ON YOU! IT'S ALL A PRETENSE!"
"IT ISN'T…IT ISN'T!"
"YOU GO THINK FOR YOURSELF! MY SPIES HAD EVEN TELL ME TOHRU CRIED WITH HAPPINESS AFTER HEARING YOU LEFT….SHIGURE WAS ONLT CONCERN ABOUT TOHRU AND YUKI AND YUKI…HE IS FURIOUS YOU HURT TOHRU AND WILL KILL YOU!"
With that, Akito dumped the whip, threw the key of the handcuff to Kyo and left. Kyo crawled slowly and painfully to the key, unlocked the handcuff and collapsed to the floor. The place began to stink due to the dried blood on the floor. 'Does everyone hate me? Does everyone…Tohru…I've love you so much…Yuki…you are still a friendly kind of enemy…Shigure? Loyal person you are…Do you guys hate me? I guess you do...Akito was right…they hate me…everyone…I was so blind to your hatred…SO BLIND!' Kyo thought and then he laughed. This laughter was hollow with no feelings added to it. And it echoed round the room for a long time…
Akito heard it and knew he had won. 'Kyo will never come back to you, Yuki, Tohru and Shigure. Just a few more tortures like this and he will never be quite so nice, anymore…' He chuckled as he walked quietly away…
