(dedicated to ' take what's left of me' by Nick lachey. and to my best freind who blelived with me that Yuki and Kyo shared the same pain)
Chapter 6
Akito's rage, Kyo's revenge, and Tohru's tears
Tohru stared out her bedroom window as Kyo ran into the woods. She'd known it all along. The way Kyo kept shielding Yuki from things. Ayame, then Tring with Akito. Picking him up from the main house...for God's sake he picked upi Yuki's favorite food the other day and it wasn't even on the list.
Sighing, she pulled on a rain coat and pulled her hair into a braid. Wether Kyo wantd her to or not, she was going to help. She knew the way Akito talked to Yuki.
And Kyo would need her.
She was sure of it.
The pain shot through his back like a knife. He cried out in pain, holding in tears. He refused to show weakness. Refused to give Akito and more reason to laugh at him. The whip cracked again, this time riping the flesh of his side. A feral cry fell past his lips and thunder rolled, making the floor shake with it's anger.
" Your so pathetic Yuki...did you really think the cat would come for you?" Akito cackled. " that cat won't step a hair into this place"
" I know. and I hate him!" Yuki croaked, his throat was cracked and dry now. Lack of food and water saw to that.
" Then why did you call out his name last night...in your sleep?" Akito's lips were dangersly close to his ear.
Violet eyes widened. He called out the cat's name? why?
" No...not again...no..." Yuki clutched his side, fighting the tears.
Aktito slapped him. " You fell again! How dare you! I told you to stay clear of him"
" And I tried Goddamn it!" Yuki was thrown agisnt the wall. " You should have tried harder!"
Kyo ran straight to the entrance of the Main house, but stoped. What if Akito hired guards to hold him off? Akito wasn't stupid. crazy and a psycopath, but not stupid.
He rounded the house and snuck in through the back entrance, where Hatori's office was. He snuck in and was instantly greated by Hatori, who was sitting at his desk.
" Can I help you"
" Where are they?" Kyo growled, balling his fists. Not even Hatori would tell him what to do.
" The room." Was all the doctor said and Kyo ran right past him.
Hatori watched Kyo go, looked at his picture of kanna, then closed his eyes." Please kyo...only you can stop this..."
Haru heard the screams, but the guards outside his door refused to let him out. He could feel His black side creeping up. This was stupid! Hatori had told him not to fight, to stay out of akito's way? why? Because it was Kyo's fight. Only Kyo could stop it.
His fist flew into the wall, the tenth hole so far. " Where the hell are you Kyo?" Another hole. " Why! Why did this have to happen again"
Three more holes and Haru's fists were bleeding. He rested his head agisnt the wall. " you fell...goddamn you..."
Akito's fist ran into Yuki's cheek for the sixth time and Yuki could feel it becoming numb and less painfull.
was this how he would die? Never to see Tohru's smiling face, of Shigure's perverted coments...or Kyo's bursts of anger. Kagura's dangerous love...Haru's carefee attitude...Momiji's happy-go-lucky voice...Ritsu's spazing...Hiro's sarcastic coments..Kisa's beautiful voice...Ayame's...oh God...his brother.
The pain came flowing back when the door flew open.
Time seemed to stop for 60 seconds and Yuki's foggy eyes focused on the angry person in the doorway.
Kyo.
Yuki felt hot tears searing his swelling cheeks and Akito laughed. " What a stupid cat. Your wasting you time"
" Wasteing time my ass.I came for Yuki you sadist." Kyo snarled.
" Oh really? Well As you can see, He's under my supervison and had no business being in your care"
Kyo let his eyes wander of Yuki's beat up form. Those white chinese clouths stained with dirt and mud. his hair was a mess, brusies and cuts littered the exposed flesh and his back was rips, blood staining the pale flesh.
" You call this supervison? More like abuse. Is this what makes you tick!" Kyo growled, steping into the room.
" He needs to be tamed. He let himself care agian. He let himself care about you!" Akito's fist rammed into Kyo's cheek, snaping his head around.
Kyo just turned back, wiped the blood off with his hand and smirked. " Is that it?" Then, with out warning, Kyo rammed his knee into Akito's stomach, sending the boy into the wall.
The cat hurried to Yuki's side and tried to stop the bleeding. The crack of a whip aginst his flesh had a low cry fall from his mouth.
Yuki latched onto Kyo and attempted to switch sides, but Kyo kept Yuki beneath him as Akito continued to abuse his back in anger.
" Stop it! Kyo move!" Yuki cried, his fingers digging into The cat's arms.
" No! This isn't right! This isn't you fault!" Kyo snarled. " Just shut up and be still"
Tears scorned Yuki's cheeks and he closed his eyes tightly, hoping to God this was just another nightmare.
"STOP"
The fimiliar female voice made both Kyo and Yuki look to the door.
There she was.
Tohru.
Rain soaked not only her clouths, but the clouths of the entire Zodiac.
Hatori, Shigure and Kureno had Akito held back.
The others rushed into the room and crowded Yuki and Kyo.
Yuki buried his tear and blood stained face into Kyo's neck and cried some more, while the other soothed him and Tohru tended to his wounds.
" Let me go! They don't deserve to be freinds! They can't ! The cat and the rat can never!" Akito snarled.
Tohru, to everyone's suprise, stood up, tears welling in her eyes.
" Who decided it had to be that way? Who decided that the cat and the rat had to fight? Can it never be resolved?" She asked, looking directly at the head of the family.
" I did! I decided! It's wrong! They'll mess up the story! The way it ends! The rat kills the cat! driving him to insanity"
" No! Thats you story! this is ours!" Momiji snarled.
" We deserve happiness...even if we must work to get it!" Haru said.
Tohru looked at Yuki who was trembling in Kyo's arms, the at Akito. " If they choose to fight, then that's thier choice. It isn't yours. and it never will be."
Angel: Stay tuned for the ending. It would be longer and more descriptive, but I have a deadline to meet and I'm still sick, so bare with me.
