Song I don't own for this chapter : "Missing" by "Evanescence"
Chapter nine : Missing
The next few days were wonderful, passion shared, no problems really. But some thing happened...you see, everyone had thought Akito had finally let the family go, but...it turns out, he did...but not when it came to Yuki or Kyo. He didn't want Yuki or Kyo in such a relationship, he wanted Yuki for himself, and he wanted Kyo locked up for good, and he really didn't care about Hatsuharu that much...but If there was something he didn't realise, it was just how much of an effect Hatsuharu had on Yuki and Kyo. It was now a Sunday, raining, they all knelt in front of Akito.
Can you stop the fire
Can you stand the fire
You can't
You stop the fire
You won't say the words
Can you stop the fire
"Did you think I would allow such a thing? The cat and the rat? How stupid do you think I am?"asked Akito.
"It wasn't just them..."started Haru.
"Oh...I know, trust me...I know..."said Akito.
He went up to Kyo and kicked him down and removed the bracelet.
"How much do you love your precious cat now, eh?"said Akito.
Kyo transformed, holding his head in pain, he ran out into the wilderness.
"Let's see you love him now."said Akito.
Yuki stood up, he was trembling, and he knew he was frightened of Akito, but he had to be strong, he couldn't allow such a horrible thing to happen, the memories flooding back, he'd seen this before, he looked to Akito and he finally did the thing he'd wanted to do for so long, he punched Akito.
"No, you think it's just because of his curse that I can't love him, you judge me just as everyone else does. You are no better then all of those fake people out there. Always judging me for being the rat or the prince, I am the rat Akito, but I am not just the rat, I am a human being, with feelings of my own, and a heart. You Akito, are pathetic, I am sick of being judged, and so is he. And I will not leave him."he said.
Yuki looked to Hatsuharu.
"How about you Haru? What do you want?"he asked.
Haru looked to Yuki and stood up.
"Yuki, I've only seen that form once when I was five, and all I want is for us to get back our kitten."said Haru.
Please, Please
Forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And barely look up
You'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?
"No! I forbid this! Hatori! Erase their memories of ever knowing Kyo!"screamed Akito.
Hatori who was knelt at the side looked up at Akito.
"No. He is right Akito, we are not animals, not your pets, and I have a heart."said Hatori.
Akito smacked Hatori.
"Do It!"he screamed.
"No!"screamed Hatori.
Akito banged him up against the wall, but Kureno pulled him back.
"Akito, please...don't...I still obey and love you...am I not enough for you? Please, let it go...let all the pain you've felt go..."said Kureno.
Akito looked to Kureno but finally saw his mistake, If he and Kureno, Hatori and Ritsu, and Shigure and Ayame, among other couples in the family could be happy, why couldn't this? He looked to the ground.
"I just...I just don't want to see you all get hurt, this family is hurt often...and I guess...I merely hurt everyone more in my trying to protect it...go..."said Akito.
You won't cry for my absence I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Meanwhile with Kyo...
'I remember how she accepted me...how she cared for me...how she loved me...even like this...but she's never coming home...and no one will ever miss me...not like this...'thought Kyo.
He looked to his claws, the rain pouring down on him, his tears came, knowing he had lost everything, his tears were hidden in the rain, just like he would be hidden from existing because of this form...and nothing would ever get better...not like this...not when she was gone...
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me
Not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't some one missing me?
Back to Yuki and Haru...
"Haru, where could he be?"asked Yuki.
"I don't know Yuki, but we have to find him...before it's too late..."said Haru.
"Too late?"asked Yuki.
"Kyo has been known to be suicidal at points Yuki, he hides it very well."said Haru.
Yuki began having an asthma attack right then, this weather was not good for him, and he didn't have a coat. Haru caught Yuki as he fainted, he put Yuki on his back and tread on. Soon seeing the monster that was Kyo, he woke Yuki up and pointed to Kyo, they both ran up to him.
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breath deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
"Kyo!"screamed Yuki as he pulled Kyo in monster form close and hugged him, crying and sobbing.
"Kyo, we were so afraid we'd lost you...Kyo...we need you."said Haru.
"No! Nobody needs me! She didn't need me! Because of me...because I didn't save her...she's gone!"screamed Kyo.
"Your wrong Kyo, it wasn't anybody's fault...it was an accident..."said Yuki.
"She's the only one who ever said she could stand me like this...how can you both...even look at me! Not even my mother could!"Kyo screamed.
Haru pulled Kyo and Yuki to him, Yuki behind Kyo and hugging him, Haru hugging him from the front.
"Because we love you."said Yuki, Hatsu, and Haru all at once.
At that moment something in Kyo snapped, all of the hurt seemed to dissapear and he became human again as the sun came out, putting the bracelet back on.
"Let's go home...that's all I want...to go home with my two boyfriends..."said Kyo.
Yuki put his hand in Kyo's right hand, and Hatsuharu on the left.
And if I bleed, I'll bleed
Knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
They walked home in the sunlight, seeming to hear a laughter and see Tohru's smile on them, from the heavens.
