Hatori sat in the kitchen drinking his morning coffee and read the headlines in the paper. He put the paper down as he heard Tohru stirring in his room down the hall. He sat his coffee down and slowly walked to his room.

"H-h-help." Tohru said reaching out for Hatori as he entered the room. "H-help me."

Hatori sat on the ground next to where Tohru laid and ran his fingers through her hair. "Its okay." Hatori said as she squeezed his hand. "It's okay."

"Hatori." Ayame said walking into the room. "You didn't open the door so I let myself in." Ayame dropped the bag on the desk and waited for Hatori outside the room.

"I'll be right back." Hatori said wrenching his hand from Tohru's grasp. He quickly pushed himself up and walked out into the hall.

"What the hell am I supposed to tell Kyo and Yuki! They're on the verge of killing me." Ayame snapped folding his arms.

"Make up something." Hatori snapped back looking at Tohru in the other room.

"Well you better explain because they're on their way over here right now." Ayame said looking at Tohru as well.

"What!" Hatori asked in shock.

"They're at Haru's right now and then they'll be coming to visit Tohru." Ayame said looking Hatori straight in the eyes. "They didn't believe me so they want proof."

Hatori fell silent and bit his lip. "There's nothing else to tell them other than the truth I guess." He said sighing.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ayame shrugged and walked over to it. "You help Tohru get dressed I'll keep them busy."

Hatori nodded and walked into the room. He slid the door shut behind him and locked it. Tohru flinched at the sound and shivered.

"Tohru I need you to come sit here." Hatori said patting on the desk.

Tohru nodded and slowly pushed herself up off the bed. She slowly stumbled across the room over to the desk and pushed herself onto the desk. She watched Hatori open a cupboard and grab the medical kit.

"Tohru can you do me a favor and take your shirt off?" Hatori asked opening the first aid kit. Hatori looked up at her and watched her shake her head. "Please Tohru I need to change the bandages."

Tohru sat still for a moment as tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded "yes" and slowly slid the shirt off.

Hatori walked around behind her and started cutting the bandage that wrapped all the way around her chest and rubbed an antibiotic on it. She shivered as he wrapped clean bandages around her chest once more and tied them up. He then moved to the bandage on her head and slowly removed it. "Well the good news is that the bleeding stopped." He said sighing"Unfortunately its going to need to remain bandaged untill you are able to have it scab over."

He handed Tohru her bag of clothes and left the room without another word. As she heard the door click she shut she wrenched her bag open and found the clothes she felt safest in. She slid on her loose blue jeans and a black shirt.

"Tohru, Yuki and Kyo are here to see you." Ayame said rapping on the door.

Tohru quickly rushed over to the mirror and tied her hair back with a bandana covering up her bandages. She then got into her compact and pwodered her face up to hide the black below her eyes. The she slowly walked over to the door and slid it open.

"Hello." She said putting on a fake smile. "I'm glad you came to visit." She said trying to sound happy.

"Are you okay" Yuki said grabbing Tohru's hand. "I'm sorry I couldn't get you last night."

Thoru flinched and shivered. She took her hand back and held it close to her chest. "It's no problem really. I'm perfrctly fine. I just have a small cold, you see, nothing important."

"Okay then." Kyo said. "Come on Yuki we got school." Kyo said leading Yuki out of the house.

As the walked out of the Sohma headquaters Kyo began to speak. "She's lying I can smell her fear."

"I know what you mean." Yuki replied in a wigged out sort of way because for the first time in months they weren't arguing. "She's hiding something from us. I knew I should have skipped that damn meeting."

"Whatever." Kyo said focussing on what Tohru had done when Yuki touched her.

Tohru sat at the table and stared at her food with a blank expression. She slowly rested her head on the table and shuddered a bit.

"Tohru I need you to eat something." Hatori said looking at his paper. "Tohru" He said looking up to see her crying. He laid his paper down and walked behind her. She touched her shoulder softly causing her to jump. She looked up at him and flung his arms around him causing him to transform.

"I'm so sorry." She said wiping her eyes as he laid helplessly on the floor.

Within a few moments Hatori returned to his human form and slid his pants back on.

"Sometimes the 'loosing my clothes part' sucks." He said pulling his shirt back on but leaving it unbuttoned.

He pulled Tohru into a half hug avoiding any major contact with her. She sobbed on his shoulder until she finally fell asleep. He sighed and carried her back into his room and laid her on his bed. His heart ached for her. How badly he wanted to take all her pain away and release her haunting memories.

He shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair as he walked into the bathroom. "She isn't alone." He whispered looking into the mirror. "I know exactly what she ig going through. Just like Ayame does." He buttoned up his shirt and grabbed his coat. "I have my job to do still so I'll just lock the doors and She'll be fine. "

"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE AT CAT LOVER" Uo yelled shaking the shit out of Kyo.

"She has a cold." He snarled. "Now let go"

Uo finally caved in and lossened her grip enough to let Kyo break loose. "She's never been the kind of person to get sick easily. How long is she going to be gone"

"Until Hatori lets her go you pain."

"Be patient furball and let her enjoy this rage." Yuki said appearing out of nowhere.

"Damn rat you take the beating. After all you're the one who was supposed to pick her up." Kyo yelled trying to rip Yuki to pieces.

"Don't waste your time you ass." Uo said catching Kyo by the ear. "Just sit your ass down before you get me in trouble."

"You're the bitch who started it." He snapped as the teacher walked in.

"OH DON'T YOU DARE START WITH ME KITTY LOVER" She yelled storming out of the room.

Tohru woke up and watched as the sun slowly set. She sighed as she kicked the covers off of her and walked into the kitchen. "Hatori must have had to work today." She said frowning. "Well I'll make him dinner as a 'Thank You'. Then maybe I'll be able to go back to my normal self." She grabbed a pot from under the cupboard and some vegetables. "I hope he doesn't mind stewed leeks."

She turned the stove on and started cooking their meals when she head a door snap close. She shivered as the foot steps got close to her and tightened her grip on the knife she had been using to chop the leeks with and held it close to her chest. As she felt the person on her back she whipped around.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa WHOA" Ayame said taking a few steps back. "Is this how you repay me for saving you last night." he said wrenching the knife out of her hands.

Tohru's eyes filled with tears and she sunk to her knees. "Why did you have to remind me" She sobbed looking up at him.

Ayame lowered to his knees and pulled her into a half hug. "Because one day you are going to have to get over it." He ran his fingers through her hair as she cried harder. "I know it's hard for you...and I know what's going through your mind."

"How would you know how it feels when some one tries to comfort you but you're afraid they might hurt you." She said pushing him away. "You're just lying to make me feel better." She cried getting up and running out the door barefoot.

She fired down the wet stone path and out of the safter of the Sohma gates. Her feet and hems of her jeans were soaked since she had left her shoes. She slowed down as she reached the place where her life was destroyed. She cried and hid behind the dumpster once more. She grew quite as she heard footsteps get closer to her.

She shuddered as she felt someone touch her. The person grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and pulled her out from behind the dumpster and into a brick wall. "Look who's come back." The man said catching her chin and kissing her. "Did you miss that bad." He said unbuckling her pants.

"Please stop." She begged trying to squirm free as he grabbed her breast. The burning sensation to scream was muffled by a moan as he invaded her mouth with his tongue. She loosened uo a bit and our of no where returned the favor. She had lost all thought and was being pulled in. She twisted her tongue around his until he bit down hard on her tongue.

She screamed pulling her tongue out. She spat the blood out and whimpered as he pressed hard against her. "Serves you right for not letting me finish with you bitch." Her said slaming her head into the concrete. She passed out as she felt the pain well with in her body.

He laughed as she fell limp and onto the ground. He quickly slipped her clothes off and then his own. He laid on top of her and licked her chest when he get thrown off of her.

"You little Fucker." Hatori said grabbing the boy by the throat and slammed him into the wall. "Don't You ever touch this girl again." He yelled pummeling him in the face. Hatori grabbed the knife from the boy's jeans and sliced him across the face. "You ever come near her again and I'll kill you." He said dropping the boy on the ground.

He grabbed his clothes and took off down the street leaving Hatori and Tohru alone. Hatori walked over and bent down next to Tohru. He carefully slid her underware on and left the rest of her damp clothes off. He took his shirt off and wrapped it around her and walked to the car. "Figures she would try to run." Hatori said rolling his eyes. "But why did she have to stop there" He asked putting her in the passenger seat.

"Thank God you found her." Ayame said opening the door for Hatori. "Why is she wearing your shirt" He asked as he noticed Hatori didn't have his shirt on but he had his coat on.

"She had a run in with the bastard who raped her last time." Hatori said shecking the back of her head. "She seems to be knocked out thats all." He said laying her on the couch in the sitting room. "Thank god that I got there in time."

Ayame nodded and laid a blanket over her. "Why can't we wipe this from her mind" He asled looking at Hatori.

"If we do wipe her memory, We'll destroy all the memories of the Sohma family along with it." Hatori said biting his lip. "Besides she needs to get used to the world being a dangerous place."

Ayame nodded knowing that the worst was yet to come. Even worse was that she would never be the same again.
