This isnt the last chapter, there should be 2 more after this. I might put the alternate ending on there as well, so you can see how things would have turned out if I didnt feel so bad about treating the characters as bad as i have. And by the way, the song is Juliet by Emilie Autumn, if you were curious. This is the second fic ive used it in!
Disclaimer: i own nothing
Enjoy!!
Ayame didn't even notice the smashed gate as he swung his Cadillac into the Sohma estate. He didn't notice the stillness of everyone in sight, all eyes pointed at the cat place, the source of that deadly shriek. Ayame ran into the main house, searching, searching, for his Hatori. He went to the dragon's room. He was nowhere in sight. Running to the window, Ayame looked out at the cat place. There he was. His Hatori. Ayame could barely think as he ran back through the building and out towards the dark, dark shed that was the cats fate. Not this cat, though. Not this cat.

"Hatori! We need to find them! Get your car! Now, not when you want to!" the doctor calmly picked up the beaten and bloodied Haru, letting the boy lean on him. He shot a look of pure hatred directly into Akito's eyes, causing him to take a step back. "No, Akito. I won't do it."
"You belong to me! I own you! You cannot defy me!"
"You lost and power you had over me when you killed the one I love."
"You are still bound to me! You cannot leave me! I love you, Hatori!" Hatori let a cold laugh escape his lips.
"You don't know how to love." Akito's eyes were full of pure fear, and he turned and ran. Shigure gave Hatori a look that asked 'Are you mad?' and followed like the faithful hound he was.
--------
Hatori quickly saw to Haru's wounds. There was only surface damage, nothing serious, and the teen protested every second. "Hatori, we have to go! What will Akito do? We have to be there for Yuki and Kyo!" Hatori would calmly say that his wounds were more important, and carry on his work. Then the ox would protest again. Hatori rolled his eyes, and set the final stitch on a particularly ugly head wound. "Stay here."
"But, Hatori, I"-
"Stay here." Haru fell silent. Hatori exited the room, leaving the ox alone. He headed to his car, but was stopped when something tall and fast-moving crashed into him and knocked him to the floor.
"Aya?"
--------
Kyo parked in an illegal zone and dragged Yuki out of the car. They both ran into the stadium, in a hurry to find a place to hide from Akito. "Kyo" Yuki panted, still running. "What do we wear for finals?" the cat laughed.
"Trust that to be your first priority. I never bothered with all the sequins and sparkles, black combats work fine."
"It works for you maybe, but I need a shirt, Kyo." They had finally stopped in some kind of dressing room.
"Why?" Yuki bit his lip, but thought, what the hell? He's going to see it sooner or later anyway. Slowly, he lifted the hem of his black shirt. Kyo gasped as a tapestry of scars was revealed, some old and faded and some a fresh, angry red. All had been inflicted by Akito. Kyo put his arms round Yuki, kissing the worst scars, and then the tears on the rat's cheeks. Yuki held him close. It was a long time before they could bear to part.
--------
Akito started the car, slamming the door on Shigure and driving at full speed out of the gate.
--------
"Aya!" Tears of joy washed down both men's cheeks as Ayame kissed everywhere he could reach on the dragons face. Hatori met his lips and kissed him passionately. Ayame eventually stood up, and Hatori stood beside him. "Ayame, there's something I need to do. It would be better if you stayed here." A sudden seriousness took over Hatori's face, and he got into another of his cars. Ayame got into the passenger side with a look of defiance. Hatori sighed at him. Ayame kissed his cheek. "Someone has to make sure you don't do something stupid."
"It may be stupid." Hatori muttered, "But it's the right thing to do."

The ice was dark, save for one spotlight in the centre. Under it stood the Prince, wearing a loose white shirt and white combats. The other skaters scorned this choice of attire, saying how dangerous it could be. The music began, and the rat made a slow loop, slow spins, to the violin music that was playing. Another spotlight clicked, and the flame-haired skater was revealed, wearing white combats that glowed against his tan. The two met on the ice just as the music sped up.
--------
"Hatsuharu?" A girls voice came from behind the ox. He turned, to see a girl about his age with dark hair down to her knees. It was a relative or his, he realised, a member of the zodiac. He hadn't spoken to her before. But seeing her now, concern in her eyes, he thought he had fallen in love.
I made Rin Haru's age. I know he hasnt gotten over Yuki yet, and he is emotionally shattered, but he needs something good in his life. If Haru desreves a girl, then Rin is made for him. I prefer the YukiXHaru pair though. Haha, i'm really dragging out the Hatori thing, ne? All will be revealed if you R&R...
