Chapter 7- Suffering…

Kyo had locked himself in his room now for almost a month. The only time anyone saw him was when they had to go to school. Other then that, he was never any where else. He was once again closing himself away from Tohru. He didn't want to. But he also didn't want to get any closer to her. Though, he didn't think he could get any closer to her. He loved her, and he new it. He couldn't get her out of his mind. Her face was always in there. And now, with only a month and one week left before being locked up, Kyo had to tell her. He had to tell her how much he loved her, how much she made a difference in his life, and how he wont be there for ever.

But he…he couldn't tell her that if he didn't beat Yuki by is last year in school, that he would be automatically locked up in that dark room. Tohru wouldn't take it too good and he new it. So he needed to tell her something else. Like, he was moving or something. Anything to make her think that he would be okay.

" Kyo-kun…dinner is done if you want to eat." Tohru said from the other side of his door.

" Okay…" he replied.

This was the only thing keeping Tohru from thinking that Kyo still liked her. He would still sort of talk to her. But only threw the door. He wouldn't even open it anymore. And all he would usually say was… 'okay'.

" Kyo?" Tohru closed her hands together, and looked at the floor. " Kyo, are you okay? You never come out anymore. Is there something wrong?"

The door knob on the door slowly turned, then the door opened. Kyo was standing there, smiling at her.

" you always worry about others. How about worrying about yourself for once. It will do you some good…"

" Okay… but…you…" Tohru started to cry again like she always would.

" Why are you crying now?" he asked, a little concerned.

" its just, you always hide yourself in your room now Kyo! I want to know what's wrong with you. I want to be able to help you Kyo!"

Kyo looked at Tohru a little confused now.

" Nothing is wrong Tohru, I promise. If something was wrong I would have told you. Okay,"

Kyo cupped her cheek in his hand, and smiled. Abit shocked, she smiled back.

" Tohru, I have to tell you something. But later, okay?" he asked.

" Sure Kyo-kun!"

" Ok good. We'll go out later. Just me and you. How does that sound?" he asked, lowering his hand from her face.

" Eh…" was all Tohru could say.

" Good, I take that as a yes."

Kyo entered his room once again and closed the door behind him. Leaving Tohru standing there, confused to what had just happened.

Okay, tonight is the night I will tell her. I'm going to tell her how much I really do like her. So don't blow this…

He said to himself, hoping that he really wasn't going to blow it.

Later On That Night- ( not a chapter)

" Why do you mean tonight?" Kyo shouted angrily to Shigure.

" Akito just said that you were to go over tonight Kyo. Don't take it out on me. I only report what I have been told to."

" But Shigure! I was going some where with… I was just going some where tonight. So cant you just plan this thing later. Like another day maybe?"

Kyo was thinking of anything he could say to make Shigure to get Akito to change it. But nothing seemed to be working. Making Kyo become very pissed.

" I'm sorry Kyo. You'll just have to go tonight and cancel your plans. You know how Akito gets when someone doesn't show up."

Kyo, out of anger, threw his fist into Shigures desk and left the room. He wasn't even thinking about Akito and what he wanted to say to him. All he cared about now was canceling the plans with Tohru. He didn't want to, but if he didn't, then he would have to deal with Akito's prissiness.

" He's afraid of you. That's why he bosses you around…"

The words of Yuki from that one day repeated them selves in his head. Over and over. Not stopping one bit.

He's right. I really should just stick up to him. I mean, what can he possibly do to me then lock me away, which is going to happen anyways. Or hit me like he always does. No, I have to go. I don't want to have to deal with him later.

Kyo had canceled the plans with Tohru, and told her they could just go tomorrow. She was fine with it, so she said. And now he was walking to the Sohma's resident. Ready for anything Akito might yell at him for.

" Kyo, you've come. Shigure told me you had a little bit of a fit when he told you. So, I thought you wouldn't be coming."

Kyo grinned at the sound of Akito's voice.

" Do you know why I want you hear today Kyo?"

Kyo did have a pretty good idea to why he was there, but didn't say anything. He only stood there, patiently waiting for what ever Akito was going to say.

" Its because of that girl! You didn't listen to me. You kept hanging around her. Talking to her. Making your self get closer to her."

" no, that's were your wrong. I couldn't have gotten closer to Tohru. I was already as close as I could go. So you just wasted your damn breath that day!" Kyo yelled.

Akito stood up, and when he went to go and turn around, he hit Kyo in the face.

" Don't talk to me like that! You filthy monster!"

" Call me what ever you want! It doesn't bother me anymore. Besides I'm not the monster! Your are!"

" For you intolerable attitude I will punish both you and Tohru Honda!"

This is when Kyo had snapped. His anger got to the best of him. And he wanted to kill Akito.

" You lay one damn finger on her that finger will be mine. That's a promise Akito. So don't fuck with me! If there is one thing I can not stand in this world its you! You say I'm the monster, well I'm not the one who beats on every one if they fall in love! I'm not the one who makes sure every one has a miserable life! I'm not the one who makes sure every one is hated by at least one person of this damn family! And I a-" Kyo didn't get to finish.

Akito had once again slammed his fist into his stomach.

" Don't YOU EVER talk to me like that again! You got it you monster?"

" Stop calling me a monster Akito!"

Kyo stood to his feet and swung at Akito. Dodging it, Akito then walloped Kyo in the face. Sending him a few inches back. Next, Akito slammed his foot into the side of Kyo, making him drop to the floor. When Kyo went to go stand, Akito kicked him again. Every time Kyo would even breathe, Akito would kick him again in the same spot.

At one point, Kyo started to cough up blood. And wouldn't stop. Akito had kicked him so many times in the same spot that he must have broken a rib. He could feel his side aching from the kicks Akito had placed on his body. He was having a hard time breathing, and after a while, he finally fainted.

Akito stood over Kyo like he was a vulture, and Kyo wad the dying animal.

" I guess we will be putting you in the cage a bit early. And for Tohru, she will get hers as well."

Akito dragged him across the floor to were the 'cage' was. It was more like a room that had no furniture in it. And was painted black. With bars on one side. So they had called it the cage.

That's where Akito threw Kyo in, and locked the door.

" You pathetic scum!" he yelled before walking away.

Kyo just layed there. Unable to move from the pain in his side. Coughing continuously. Blood coming out every time.

About an hour later, he was finally able to lift himself. Even though it hurt his side with a passion. But still her forced himself to sit up and lean against the wall. Blood was around his mouth from before. And now his cheek was swollen from the punch he had received from Akito. But every thing else on his face was fine.

His mid area was burning from his now broken rib. It gave him trouble breathing. Every time he was inhale, it would burn to the point were he would scream. And exhale would be the same.

" Tohru…" he said before passing out again.
