Haruhi PVO

We walked home quietly, it seemed that Tohru's two friends, Saki and Arisa, had invited themselves over. I laughed as I realised it was a regular occurrence, a little strange but either way they were cool. They didn't get why I was dressed as a boy but they excepted it rather then questioning it. Arisa was cool, she promised to spar with me when we got back. Although Yuki and Kyo both warned her against it. I don't really get why but either way it seemed I had found a new sparing partner. Finally.

Saki, however, freaked me out a little bit. I mean, she could read our wave lengths and tell that we were different from everyone else. Weird if you ask me, but she cared for her friends very much from what I gathered. I shifted my eyes up to sky as we followed the path to the house.

It was very warm today, perfect weather for sparing. I smiled as I watched the scene before me play out. Yuki was taking with Tohru and Saki and Arisa were commenting on something. Arisa sometimes stopping long enough to make Kyo annoyed. I laughed as Yuki went red from a comment from Tohru. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder and join in my little laugh and wasn't surprised to see Kyo standing there. I rested my head on his shoulder as we walked and drunk in his warmth, after all, we couldn't be open with our affection for each other. If Akito were to find out then I would be hurt, I wouldn't let Kyo take the blame for it, not ever.

"Hey Cub?" Kyo said gently to me, careful not attract the others attention. We were walking at least two meters behind them now.

"Yeah Kitty," I said nudging his neck with my head. His shoulder was really comfy.

"How long has it been since you transformed?" I had been expecting a question similar to this. After all it is unhealthy for one if they don't transform for a long time and for forgotten zodiacs it's even more so.

"Fourteen months." I said calming, waiting for the outburst of anger that was sure to come. But it… Didn't, I pulled away from him, stopping completely and turning him to face me. He looked sad, "what's wrong Kitty?" I asked as gentle as I could.

"I just don't want to lose you," he said his eyes focusing on the floor, his hands in my mine. "Not now after two years of not being able to see you," he said rising his eyes to mine. I felt a pang of pain in that one second and pulled him into a bone crushing hug.

"I am not going, not now not ever. Please I don't want to leave you either Kitty. We will be together for ever."

We pulled away and smiled before realising we had stopped. Grabbing my hand Kyo ran, pulling me along behind him a large smile on his in face now. All the sadness gone, as if it had never been. I ran too, feeling the air gliding through my hair as a smile spread freely across my face, it felt so good to be here with my family, my friends, Kyo. His fingers laced in mine and his warmth spreading through me like water. He looked back at me and laughed as he saw my face, I was glad to finally see that face again. But, then he stopped abruptly and began growling, if he were in cat form his shackles would have raised. I came along side him, but before I got a good look he pushed himself in front of me.

"What are you doing here?" He asked in a venomous voice. I tried hard to look over his shoulder but he was simply to tall, it also didn't help that he was getting all protective over me. I looked around for a clue as to who he was talking to, and then I saw it, Yuki was frozen solid, his eyes searching and screaming, and Tohru was trying hard to comfort him.

"Just came to check on my little pet," I know that voice.

"Akito," Yuki said, his voice full of fear. I knew what I had to do, I knew what I needed to do to save everyone. I wouldn't let them get hurt because of me, not again. Using all my strength I pushed Kyo aside and looked at him as he fell. His eyes held fear of what was coming, he was begging me not to do it, not to sacrifice myself again. But I needed to, I wouldn't let him get hurt again. I told him sorry with my eyes and then looked at Akito with fearful eyes.

"Akito-Sama," I said bowing to him from my waist. "You wished to see me?" I asked trying hard not to say anything that would anger him.

I could feel everyone's eyes on me but I had to say it, otherwise he would do something to the others. "Ah yes, I have waited over a hour for your return. What filthy excuse do you have for making me wait for someone not worthy of my time."

I could tell that Kyo was growling lightly and I begged him silently to shut up and stop his nonsense before he got hurt. "I apologise, I had matters at school to attend to."

"And what trash are you wearing now?" I looked somewhere near his face as he spoke,if I look away he will hit me and I am not worthy to look someone as great as him in the eyes. To my surprise he took a step forward so he was closer to me and brought his face towards mine before whispering in my ear. "Just wait till I can get my collar on you again, I can't wait to see your pitiful face crawling along after me in the dirt. It will be so much fun to hear our pitiful cries as you beg for forgiveness again." He smirked and I felt shivers run down my spine as old memories were brought up. The memories that I had locked away so long ago now present in my mind. I noticed Tohru's to friends looking at me with worry and I knew that Yuki and Kyo were now staring at Akito with hatred and malice. He placed his hand on my shoulder and dug his nails into the soft skin that was there, I whimpered as he did so and could tell that he was enjoying my pain from a smirk on his face.

"Master Akito-Sama," I begged and as he did that I felt him hit a nerve and I was sent to my knees in pain. I let out a pitiful scream and heard his evil laugh. I could feel blood falling from the wound on my shoulder, I could feel the sticky liquid quickly escaping my body and rolling down my back in waves, perfect for a monster like me. I dropped my eyes and bowled my head as a way to appease my master, and as I looked up I felt his presence large towering over the top of me. I would have begged him to move, anyone else I would have moved them myself, but he was Master Akito, I couldn't do that. He would punish the others if I did.

"Well my little pet, you will be returning home with me for the next week, in preparation form my birthday ceremony. I will be presenting you to all my friends, oh how they will love to see the sight of you cowering in fear by my very presence."

"But Master, you said I could remain here!" I didn't mean to say that, I wished that I hadn't. I covered my mouth with my hand and bowed my head again but it was already to late, way to late. His foot connected with my stomach and I felt one of his hands begging to pulled the hair on top of my head.

He kicked once, twice, three times while screaming, "How dare you defy me! You are simply a monster child! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EVEN STAND IN PRESENCE AND HEAR YOU ARE TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" I felt my skull connect with his knee and felt blood pour out of my mouth. He went for another hit and was successful, it hurt so much, it hurt to breath as I sat there taking the deserved punishment. But then it stopped, I didn't dare look up, I didn't want to incur his wrath once more.

"Stop Akito," I heard a voice yell and knew straight away that it was Hatori.

"No, she needs to be punished," I covered my head with my heads as I felt his foot come into contact with it and begin squashing it against the ground.

"If you continue you will kill her!" I heard Shigure scream. I chanced a look up and saw a wonderful sight. Shigure and Hatori were holding back Akito by the arms as he fought them off. They had saved me again. I had tears steaming down my eyes as I scrambled into a kneeling position. It hurt, it hurt so much, but I did it anyway. I lowered my head and a ratchet smell filled my nose. The smell of blood, fresh blood that had yet to soak into the ground or get washed away with time. No, I was sitting in a pool of my own blood and kneeling before the person that had cursed me such pain. I risked a look at Yuki who wouldn't even look at me as tears began falling from his eyes, he had failed again to protect me, his little sister, instead to scared to even move. Tohru was in shock, a small hand was covering her mouth, I tried to send her look that told her I was ok, but it failed she was in to much of a state of shock. I looked to the other side and saw Kyo lying on the ground in a similar state as Yuki, his eyes were bloodshot and he was clenching his hands together resisting the urge to do something he would regret. His eyes met mine and I smiled a small smile, telling him that I would be ok, he nodded a little but his eyes were still filled with anger and hate towards Akito. I looked over at Tohru's friends and what I saw surprised me, Arisa was trying hard to get to me and help me but Saki was stopping her from getting to me, holding her back by the shoulders, I found it weird that Saki knew to hold her back but it didn't matter. I turned my attention back to the puddle of blood that I currently sat in and waited for what was to come.

Master Akito was still struggling in Shigure and Hatori's hold and I was thankful that they had saved me yet again. "I apologise Master, I was selfish to defy you like I did. Please forgive me," I touched my head to the ground even though I knew it would be covered in blood if I did, I didn't want anymore pain, for anyone.

I heard Akito huff and felt his hands grab the hair on the top of my head. It hurt but I complied as he dragged me to the black car that I hadn't even seen before. He opened the door and through me inside as he slid in next to me with ease. I didn't say anything as I sat there, trying hard not too let blood get onto the car he would be angry if I did, and with that he drove off in silence, me trying not to wimped in pain with every movement I made.

Normal POV

As the black car drove off everyone was silent, Kyo stood from wear Haruhi had thrown him down and walked over to the puddle of her blood. It stuck and he hated it, angrily he kicked the dirt and sent it flying everywhere before he stormed into the forest and a loud crash could be heard throughout the air. The crash brought Yuki out of a frozen state and he looked up for the first time since the car had driven away. He looked to Tohru who was now in tears and pulled her into his arms, forgetting about the curse completely as he transformed into a rat. They had completely forgotten about Arisa and Saki being there so now the girls looked at Yuki and Tohru in complete shock. Shigure, the only one thinking rationally grabbed the two girls and turned them towards himself, but as he did Saki tripped and he caught her instinctively. A cloud of smoke and Shigure was no more. Now in dog form he barked and herded the girls like sheep until they went inside the house, Tohru followed while cuddle Yuki in rat form for comfort. When they were in the house Arisa and Saki sat on the floor with questioning expressions, but neither dared say a think, in the last ten minutes they had had to many different experiences for comfort, all though Arisa had seen people getting bashed before, she had never seen that person voluntarily put themselves in the firing line and then watch as no one helped that person. She was confused and disgusted, disgusted at Yuki for not helping his own sister, disgusted at Kyo for not helping the girl he apparently loved and disgusted at herself for being to scared and weak to help at all. Saki was just shocked at the whole thing, so she sat there quietly waiting for an explanation. Tohru sat across from them, Yuki on one side of her and Shigure on the other as they began explaining. The girls were shocked at the revolution, but Saki at least was glad that she had been right. When it was done the room went silent again.

"You muster tell anyone," Shigure asked while bowing his dog head.

"We… won't," Arisa said unsure to her own answer. She was still so confused.

"If you do we will be forced to erase your memory," Yuki said calmly his rat face unchanging.

"So then carrot top is one too," Arisa said deciding to not confront Yuki on what he said.

"Kyo's the cat," Tohru said happily glad that her friends would keep the secret. There was a big puff of smoke and the boys turned back, but of course, they were naked and a blushing Tohru hurriedly turned her two friends around so that they couldn't see the boys naked frames.

After a few minutes they heard Yuki say, "You can turn around now," when the girls did both the guys were fully clothed and standing with worried looks on there faces.

"What's wrong?" Tohru asked worriedly while taking a step closer to them.

Yuki smiled tiredly at the three friends before leaving the room and walking to the front door. A bang signalled that he had left and Shigure said nothing to stop him, even though Tohru watched with worried eyes.

"Well, I think it's time for diner, don't you Tohru?" Shigure asked with fake enthusiasm and Tohru was glad for a distraction and happily nodded her head making her way to the kitchen. Saki and Arisa followed her into the kitchen and as soon as the girls were out of view Shigure fled the house, running into the forest in search of his two cousins. For all he knew Kyo was dead at the bottom of a cliff and Yuki was hiding in a whole. He decided to search for Kyo first, knowing how unreasonable the teen could be and followed the track of destruction knowing what Kyo was like. He found the teen at the base of a waterfall unconscious and floating on his back in the water. The closest tree to him looked like it had been mauled by a lion and Shigure didn't have to guess to know how worried he was and how angry he was, the evidence was all to clear before him. Grabbing Kyo he pulled him on his shoulder and dragged him back to the house, dumping him a little way from the edge of the forest, then he went in search of Yuki.

"Yuki?!" He called out, making birds fly and rabbits run, but no rat in sight. He searched for a long long time before he found the teen in tears at the base of a very badly broken tree. "Yuki, we have to get back," Shigure said bending his knees so he was eye level with the teen. Yuki looked up at him though blood shot eyes and sighed, he did need to get back.

"Fine," he said as he stood up. On the way back all Yuki could think about was what was happening to his sister, his dearest little sister. He blamed himself for not being able to do anything, he was to scared to move that he just watched in agony. When they got to the house they found Kyo leaning against a tree and upon convincing him to return home they walked back in silence. But as they got closer they noticed something that hadn't been there before, a long black limo was parked in the driveway and after everything that happened today they really didn't want to have to deal with the hosts. Seeing that they weren't standing outside, the boys figured that Tohru had let them inside in order to not sadden them. They walked to the door and marched inside to see the six hosts and three girls sitting around the table, they weren't happy to say the least.
