Freedom in a Cage

Chapter 3:

Author's note: Hehe, sorry for the long wait on this chapter. Y'all will think I'm weird or something but you see, the reason for the long wait was because...I couldn't remember Tohru's friends names . oops!

Freedom in a Cage: (note: this is a flashback of some of what Akito did to Kyou)

Kyou blinked as the darkness had finally dissipated from his swimming vision. 'What the hell happened?' His mind questioned itself, growing angry at the lack of answers he had for himself. What could he answer if HE didn't even know the answer. He was about to get up off the position he was in, upright and leaning against the wall, and stopped when he realized that his arms refused to work. He looked back in slight anger.

He blinked and realized why they wouldn't move and he discovered that not only them, but also his legs too. Cold iron shackles held him down on the floor and leaning against the wall with little movement and freedom.

His breath came a little harsher now, as he seemed to think this reminded him of something, something that he blotted from his subconscious state and conscious state when it occurred. Whenever he managed to grab a whisk of a memory, his skull pounded as if someone was hitting him in a repetitive motion over and over again.

He bowed his head, knowing he had no chance of escaping his captors as he was chained to this wall. Even with his experience in martial arts, he had no way of breaking the chains if both his hands and feet were bound in such a manner like this.

With his head still bowed, he closed his eyes and let his orange hair tickle lightly across his forehead as he let out a heavy sigh. He opened his eyes once again, hearing a sound but glared when he saw it was a rat scurrying across the room. 'Damn rats.' His mind snarled angrily, even though it was a plain rat and looked nothing like Yuki.

He glared at the rat, shuffling slightly as he tried to recollect on what had happened.

'I was walking through the streets...'

The damp weather had made him be more exhausted as he made his way through the wet streets. How he hated the rain. Then some shadows appeared in front of him and he blinked as he lifted his head and looked at them angrily. He hadn't noticed he took a wrong corner and ended up down an alley.

"Well, well, well," A larger dark figure commented. "Look what the cat dragged in!" He laughed as the others chimmed in to.

"Maybe...maybe it was a gang!" Kyou muttered to himself, questioning to who his captors were. They were large and they reminded him of something. But...how did they know of him being the cat?! He knew they said that deliberately to taunt him, but no one other than the Sohma's knew that secret.

His head snapped up, 'That can only mean...!' His amber eyes grew slightly wider as the door opened with a loud clank.

"Well, well," A voice wavered through the air to him, ensnaring him in the trap he had plotted out. "Looks like the kitty-cat figured out just what is going on."

Kyou's eyes narrowed at this as he hissed through clenched teeth, "Akito."

Author's note:

Sorry, I know that it's really short and I'm not updating really fast, but...I'm trying to figure out just how Akito tortured him (I'll give you a hint on what one of them was and it starts with an 'r'). So that's how this story is coming along. I'm so happy that there have been as many reviews that I have! . I have fans! (I think that is!) Reviews are really helpful if you have any suggestions or tips. Thanks! The one and only,
