Fruits Basket: How i escaped Eternal Misery:Chapter 3 - The Desecration to Insanity
Disclaimer: i do not own Fruits Basket or the characters within it, i only own this story's plot line.
She had only been gone for ten minutes and already Kyou could feel the ice creep over his heart once again, a bitter almost reminiscent smile graced the unmarred skin of the orange haired teenager as he reached out slowly with his numb, unfeeling hands to touch the door that had closed behind her. Invincible pain shook Kyou's frame, bringing him to his knee's at the door, pale finger nails unconsciously digging into the wooden thickness of the tradition shrine door.
"How…How can you confine me with simply words Akito? How can you just order me to be locked up, and that's what happens? How come… no one wanted me to stay…" the past fluttered threw his small voice, the emotions of being cursed were never allowed to be released, because no one really wanted to hear his plea's and pain. Even that damn rat, Yuki, had looked concerned for him all those years ago, despite their arguments and fights, Kyou scoffed, he probably just felt guilty…after all…he was the reason why Kyou was put in here.
"Now that Tohru serve's me food under your orders Akito, I have someone who cares about me now, someone who doesn't know what we are…someone who…knows how I'm always feeling, because she feels the same" shaking his head, he could feel traces of his hair tickle his still face. The fire that had been raging in his eyes since birth had gone long ago, but with a blinding smirk, Kyou could feel the embers burning slowly once again. Blinking slowly, his perfectly rounded ears perked up as a creek was released from the door he had previously been stood at. Stiffening his body, Kyou stayed in the same place, he wouldn't meet Akito like he was a dog, no, he'd disown him physically. A light sound reached his ears, as slow almost cold footsteps walked along the dark coloured carpet, stopping agonizingly close behind him.
"Hello Kyou" a monotone voice spoke aloud, full of confidence and intelligence…wait, kyou scoffed, this can't be Akito! Keeping his body in its position, Kyou turned his head slowly, orange hair covering most of his face from the 'intruder' whilst he searched the face of who it was. Spinning around fast in surprise, kyou gasped.
"Hatori!" his voice betrayed his stubborn body position, happiness falling out of his mouth, face bright and optimistic, Hatori sighed, this is why he hated being the Sohma family doctor. Putting his bag down next to the tray, Hatori took out his stethoscope and immediately placed it onto Kyou's chest, just over his proud heart. Blinking in confusion, kyou didn't say a word as Hatori's face concentrated on his heart beat, quickly putting away the stethoscope in his bag, and once again standing tall.
"Are you under any kind of stress Kyou?" the older man's voice asked stonily, eyes always carrying that cold blank look, even the one that he was blind in. The teenager's face held pure anger for a moment, realising Hatori was simply here to check up on his health, he let his heart take over and his mood and voice turned icy.
"Why are you here Hatori" it didn't even sound like a question in Hatori's head, and immediately he felt guilty. Kyou hadn't had any contact with the rest of the family, and just when he did it was because Akito asked them to, for physical reasons more than emotional. Eyes becoming downcast Hatori reached out with his rough hand, letting it rest upon Kyou's shoulder heavily, breaking him out of his reverie.
"Listen Kyou, Akito won't let any of us come and see you, I know it's been years since we've seen you. I know you've grown up on your own mostly, but you aren't stupid. That girl, Tohru, who bring's your meals to you…" Hatori spoke sincerely Kyou had grown up to be a physically strong looking individual, he concluded, but was scared and naieve. His face didn't even falter when Kyou suddenly grabbed the collar of his white coat and brought him dangerously close to his fuming face.
"WHAT ABOUT TOHRU HATORI!" Kyou shouted angrily, face bright red from the rush of emotions he was feeling, being a mixture of upset and worried startled his heart into grasping his cousin, a cousin he had wished to see for a while, but mentioning Tohru in the same sentence as Akito….spelled trouble to Kyou instantly.
Hatori sympathised with Kyou, placing his hands on Kyou's he simply brushed them from his shirt, smoothing it down in the process. Kneeling down to his cousins height, Hatori grabbed Kyou's attention with his voice.
"Even if you think Akito is a monster and manipulative of his position, don't underestimate him. Do you think it was coincidence that Akito started letting Tohru bring you your meals? He wanted you to care about something…so that he could abuse that, and put you under stress. Kyou…you know what happens to us when we're under immense stress, do you want Tohru to see that? Because Akito does" the older man's voice revealed slowly, wanting kyou to grasp the situation by its true identity. Watching patiently, Hatori could see the thoughts running threw Kyou's mind, happy when the orange haired boy calmed down and sighed in defeat.
"You weren't allowed to tell me that were you" his voice had calmed down considerably, tone showing his thoughts weren't frantic but much more realistic. Hatori stood up, grabbing his bag silently before letting it rest against his side gently, walking towards the door in the same manner as before he opened it silently, looking back towards his lonely cousin.
"No I wasn't…but we're family, and I don't want you to suffer because Akito decided it would be fun." Kyou almost thought those would be his last words, until he saw a letter placed where Hatori's medical bag had previously been placed. Looking up surprised, Kyou was met with Hatori's face, a ghost of a smile placed on his thin lips.
"I'll come back soon, and maybe next time, I will have someone with me" and with that, Hatori, Kyou's cousin and the Sohma family doctor had left, leaving nothing but realisation and a warm feeling in kyou's heart and mind.
Almost laughing, Kyou looked back to the door to find it open, fear almost struck him…he hadn't seen the outside of his room in years. Getting up hesitantly, Kyou walked towards the open door quickly, giving in to the temptation to see what was outside. And what he saw wasn't good.
Slamming the door open, the two figures over the other side didn't even blink and eye at the loud smash the wood of the door made as it came into contact with the frame. His whole body was shaking as he watched the scene unfold before him, even though he hadn't been out of his room in a long time, he still knew the layout of the house almost perfectly. Tohru…being hand led by Akito…had just entered Akito's large bedroom…yes, he hadn't forgotten the layout of the house at all.
And in his rage, Kyou ran as fast as he could to that bedroom, punching the door as hard as he could…he watched as it broke away from the hinges…to reveal the most sickening scene he had ever witnessed.
