CHAPTER 11
"Ugh... "Yuki groaned as he woke up.
"Ha-san, Yuki's awake!"
"Yuki, Yuki are you alright? Does anywhere hurt? Do we need to get you the doctor?" Momiji asked concerned.
Yuki opened his eyes. He was surrounded by his relatives and sitting on the right was Ayame, his brother.
"Yuki, how are you feeling? Do you need a drink?" Ayame was looking at Yuki with utmost concern.
"No. I'm fine..." but actually he wasn't so sure about that. His left leg hurts a lot and he found that he's not able to move his leg though he wanted to.
"No Yuki, don't move. Your leg is fractured. It will heal but it takes time. You have to be careful." Hatori reminded him.
"Fractured? How did I get here?" Yuki looked around, puzzled.
The others however were more concerned about his health.
"Yuki, you became so thin and there are lots of bruises on your body. Did... did he beat you up?" Ayame finally found the courage to ask about the incident. He became depressed since the day Yuki was dragged away. How he wished he was the one to suffer instead of his little brother!
"Sometimes" Yuki answered darkly, remembering the time he was beaten with a bat. He doesn't care about anything anymore. Life seems hopeless and meaningless. He only wonders how long his fragile body can take those beatings.
"How did I end up in the hospital?"
"Some passer-by found you unconscious on the road. They sent you to the hospital." Shigure answered.
"Yuki, what happened? Did you run away from the main house?" Haru proceed to ask.
"Runaway? In this condition?" Yuki shook his head bitterly.
"Then? Akito released you?" By the mention of Akito's name Yuki flinched a little. He could never understand why is he still afraid to hear that name though he had suffered numerous tortures from the person itself. Yuki had his head hung low. He didn't know what he should say to them. Two weeks of torture and being trapped in that dark room. He felt as though he was numb of any feeling. In fact he felt a little stupid to actually expect seeing her when he opens his eyes everyday. Yes, his hope of seeing Tohru again and her smiles actually motivated him to stand those hits and blows, telling himself if he can make it out there alive, the first person he wants to see is Tohru beside him. And now? Yuki was very tempted to ask them on Tohru's whereabouts. Where is she? Why isn't she here? Did any of you tell her what happened? But he just kept quiet and lies down.
"Yuki, are you alright? Do you need the doctor to inspect you?" Ayame was extremely concerned of his brother's welfare. He can't afford to lose Yuki.
"No. I'm fine. A... Akito released me." He replied solemnly.
"Then how come you ended at the road?"
"You don't expect him to get someone to drive me home, do you?" Yuki hissed sarcastically at Haru.
"I'm sorry, Haru. I don't mean it..." He quickly apologizes upon realizing he is relishing his anger towards Haru. He knew it was mean but couldn't control himself. Why is he the only one who has to suffer from Akito? How come Akito never picks on the others?
"It's ok." Haru nodded.
The others just look at Yuki with sympathy. They wished they could have done something to make him better but there's no medicine that can cure him now. To Ayame perhaps this is the best time to patch things up with Yuki but it could be the worst too. For all he knows, Yuki might want to be left alone.
"Ha-san, do you think we should inform Tohru?" Momiji finally spoke up. He knew that the person who might be able to help Yuki in this condition is Tohru.
"Speaking of Tohru, this morning I received a call from Uotani. She says that Tohru is missing."
"WHAT!?" Ayame and Momiji chorused together.
"Tohru... is missing?" Yuki was unable to digest the news immediately.
"What do you mean? Wasn't she at your house yesterday Shigure?" Hatori answered impatiently. If Shigure is pulling any tricks, he will make sure that dog pays for this.
"Then I believe you should ask Kyo what happened. He walked her to the bus stop, that is what he says but well... you will never know what he did." Shigure answered with a sinister look.
"Kyonkichi, what did you do to Tohru-chan!?" Ayame seized Kyo.
"STOP CALLING ME BY THAT NAME!!! And all of you!!! Don't give me THAT look!!! I never did anything to her!!! " the hot headed Kyo shouts.
"Then how come she's not back at her University? Did you kidnap her Kyo?" Haru asked lamely.
"I will kill ALL of you!!! Especially you Shigure!"
"Now is not the time to argue about silly matters. What happened last night Kyo? You didn't bring Tohru to a hotel did you?"
"HATORI!!!" red smokes came out from Kyo's neko ears. He's near to explosion.
"It was about 9.30pm last night when she board the bus. I saw it with my own eyes! She said her hostel closes at 10.30pm. Plus she also mentioned she has a morning class tomorrow that means today." Kyo continue when his anger ceased.
"Then it's obvious she didn't attend the class and her friend called Shi-chan."
Yuii-chan: Hai hai~ Gomenasai! Most of you wanted Tohru to show up ^^ demo it's still not the suitable time for her to come out yet. Don't worry, she'll be out very soon but seriously, what happened to her? _ I wanted to know too (lol~ ok, ok, of course I know what happened to her). Thank you very much for those who took the time to read and review my work. Hontou ni arigato gozaimasu! I'll update ASAP when I finished editing the next chapter~~~
