Story Of My Life Ch.7-Lantent Fate

Something was up. Akito never wants me around, he hates me and I hate him. But, apparently he has something to say to me, or something…Tohru's going to be all alone…well there goes my awesome Sunday. I sighed and straighten up my shirt. I hope she'll be all right by herself. I went into the bathroom and wet my hands and ran it through my hair.

"Damnitt Kyo! Are you ready! Let's go!" Shigure yelled from downstairs.

"Yeah, yeah, shut yur trap I'm coming…" I said walking down stairs. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Akito…me…but Tohru…maybe if I fall down the stairs and like break my neck…maybe…I got to the top of the stairs, I REALLY don't want to go. Ok, here goes nothing…I hate stairs…I held on to the rail and then lunged myself down the stairs. Owie, owie owie owie owieowie, OW GOD DANMITT! I hit the floor and landed with my legs in the air and my head with a loud 'thunk' on the wooden floor. Shigure walked right past me, then backed up like a pick-up truck, beep…beep…beep…

"Kyo, what the hell are you doing?" Shigure asked raising his brow.

"I fell down the stairs; I don't think I can go…" I said starting to get myself up. Ow, that really hurt.

"Well, obviously. So, unless you're dying of some weird disease or…you're bleeding from your manhood, you're going. End of story! Time to go, chop, chop!" he said clapping his hands with a retarded grin. Oh man I hate him so much. I sighed and stood up dusting myself off and ruffling my hair. I started walking to the front door where Shigure and Yuki where waiting for me with a silent Hatori in tow. Ok, let's get this over with. Tohru came running to wish us good luck, and a good time. She saw us off and then it seemed like a dream we were at the main house. It felt so strange to be there at the main house. With the people there that I find hate me and don't even know me. I waited in the living room with Shigure while Yuki went to visit Akito. Something must be up. He never, EVER wants me around. Crap this is very uncomfortable. A pale faced Yuki came into the living room. He was dead silent and looked like he wanted to jump off a cliff.

"Well, Kyo, looks like you should go see him now. Go on, go on. Don't look at me like I'm an idiot move it." Shigure encouraged. I hissed at him then went to my doom.

His room is always dark a gloomy. It has a musky smell too it. Like if someone just closed off the door and never did anything but slept in it for days on end. I looked around my, catching a dark figure moving away from the window. I gulped. Akito.

"Kyo…I'm glad you came." He said coming deathly close to me. He's such a frail person…yet…we all fear him so…even me.

"Um…yeah." I said looking away from him. He was making me so nervous.

"So, how is going with that girl? Hmm? Are you starting to love her now? Getting bolder with your feelings are you? Believing that you are something?" I tensed up. Did Yuki tell him about me and Tohru?

"Wha-what do you mean?" I asked taking a step back from him.

"Oh? Why are you so nervous Kyo? Are you hiding something from me? Have you been doing something that you aren't supposed to?" Akito asked coming closer to me and putting a hand on my cheek.

He told him. That bastard, Yuki would actually stoop as low as that to run to Akito and tell him. I can't believe him! Does he know that he'll only hurt her too?

"Kyo…you look worried…"

"Don't hurt her! It was all me! Please don't harm Tohru, Akito!" His eyes widened. I instantly put my hands over my mouth as he starred at me with a twisted confusion. I just ratted myself out.

"What?" his words were venom. His hand was still on my cheek and it started to burn on my skin.

"I-I…" I was frozen with fear.

"What did you do? Did you kiss her? Did you allow yourself to love her!" he yelled slapping my face suddenly. I stumbled backwards, for such a frail person he could hit pretty hard.

"A-Akito…" I started, but he shut me up quickly; slapping me again hard across the face. I fell over and looked up at him. He was furious. As I looked up at his angry face, and the hand that was about to beat me bloody, I thought of my mother. I don't know why I thought of her, of all people. But I did. I remembered the way she was with me. I felt myself miss her suddenly. Why am I thinking of her? I zoned out to not feel the pain. He clawed at my face with pure anger. He yelled a screamed and told me so many things to put me down. And through this entire thing, I never stood to defend myself. After a while, I don't know when it was Shigure and Hatori, ran in to get Akito off of me. He was still screaming and yelling, he grabbed onto my hair and tried to take me with him, but they managed to calm him down and let go. Hatori helped me out of his room and to his. I was still out of it as Hatori examined my face, and started to clean it up a bit. I didn't even feel the stinging from the medicine. I was completely numb. I vaguely remember Hatori saying something to me before I just blacked out. When I woke up I was in my bed and my head, and face were killing me. I groaned and went to my bathroom. I looked at my mirror to see the damage. My entire face was scratched up and bruised. I had Akito's hand prints on either side of my face. I splashed some water onto my face. That burned a lot. I went back to my bed and went back to sleep.

The next day, I didn't go to school. I didn't even come down from my room. I just stayed in my bed all day. I didn't want to face Yuki, or Tohru. As I lay in my bed I repeated the scene in my mind. I thought of what made me think of my mother. I know what it was. What I said, that's what I wanted to tell everyone in this messed up family about her. 'Don't hurt her, it was all me…' but they wouldn't listen, would they? I opened my eyes and looked up at the ceiling. I felt my eyes sting with tears. I closed my eyes again and tried to make them go away. When I opened my eyes again, hot tears poured down my face. This was all just too messed-up. I sniffed and wiped my face roughly, then yelped in pain. I'm such a moron. I sat up and went to go take a shower. I cleaned myself up and got dressed. I need to see Shishou. I packed a bag with a few clothes then went downstairs. As soon as I was about to open the front door to leave, it opened. Tohru's big bright brown eyes greeted me.

"Kyo-kun!" She said shocked at the condition of my face. I looked past her to see Yuki. He was looking at me with sympathy for the first time in his life I guess. I shrugged it off and moved around her and brushed past Yuki. I couldn't talk to either of them right now. I walked to Shishou's house and knocked briskly on his door. What's his face opened the door and he was just as shocked to see me, and my abused face.

"Go get Shishou." I said entering the house and taking off my shoes. He nodded and took off running. I went and sat down at the main room and waited for Shishou. It wasn't even a few minutes when I heard Shishou's footsteps coming towards me. He entered the room and shut the door behind him. His face was full of concern, and shock. We starred at each other for a while.

"K-Kyo…what happened?" He said walking up to me and grabbing me into a death defying hug.

I turned my head and looked the other way. I wasn't ready just yet to talk about it. "I-I…can I stay here for a few days Shishou?" I asked.

He let me go and held me at arms length and looked into my eyes. "Of course…yes…Kyo…was it Akito who did this to you?"

I couldn't answer him. I just looked away and let my shoulders sag. Shishou cursed under his breath and called for what's his face. He rushed into the room.

"Prepare a room for Kyo please, and…call for take out. I think we're all hungry." He said with a small grin.

"Yes sir." He took off to do his appointed tasks.

"You'll eat and then go get some rest, understood?" Shishou asked sitting me down. He was starting to act like a mother hen now…

I nodded and put my head down on the table. He sat down across from me, until there was a knock at the door and he went to go get it. I heard a little of the conversation.

"Yes he is here. But I'm not sure if he wants to see anyone."

"P-Please, let me see him…" Tohru? What was she doing here?
