Chapter 10- Unpleasant Death

Eri:

The doctors decided to keep me for one more day to make sure that I was healing correctly. Fumi still wouldn't stop glaring at Ritsu and Tetsuya. I sniffled. I had been crying after Fumi continued her talk last night. She held me as I cried. The pregnancy wasn't right…the gash on my stomach harmed me a lot more than I thought- especially since the guy who attacked me (though the hosts ,Ritsu, and Tetsuya have yet to know I was attacked) planned on killing me. He had gashed my stomach multiple times while I was passed out in an attempt to silence me- forever.

I knew I had to tell Ritsu the news though- and eventually even the host club. Though, that would be hard to do. To think all this started because of a stupid wish….and heck, I started out here as a cat….even if it was a pretty cat. I shook my head. I didn't have to tell them anything. They may wonder why I am crying- why I am sad. But there is no real reason for them to know anything since the child…the unborn child…was dead anyways.

Still, I wasn't looking forward to it. I wasn't looking forward to anyone knowing actually. If I did decide to tell them. I just hoped Ritsu understands. That was all I could really ever hope. Fumi may have been mad but I knew she would have my back. That was what sisters did after all.

Still, I felt very bad that I did this. I mean, I didn't mean for it to end up with me pregnant. I didn't mean to get things that far between me and Ritsu when we've only, what, not even been together for a week? Heck, that was the first time we were together- if we were officially a couple anyway. I didn't mean to catch a very bad guy in the middle of a break-in….I didn't mean to kill the unborn child.

Ritsu held me as I started to cry again.
"When you are ready to tell me what really happened," he said, "and not that you just got lost and fell…I am here."
"As am I," Tetsuya said.

I still refused to talk to anyone but Fumi- no matter how hard the host club tried. I was becoming withdrawn- I didn't want to be near anyone. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I wanted to be left alone.
"Come on," the twins shouted, "just talk to us-"
"-I don't see the point of trying-"
"-if it's clear she doesn't want to talk to anyone."

Mori and Fumi glared at them. Ritsu stood up and soon everyone- minus Hunny, Mori, Fumi, Eri, and Kyoya- were in a screaming match, yelling and arguing.
"Will everyone just leave," I snapped.

They all looked at me shocked and I had tears in my eyes,
"Just leave…please…"

Ritsu looked heartbroken and the others were a bit confused and mad. Still, under Fumi's glare, they did leave while Fumi stayed behind to comfort me.

Third Person:

"So impolite," Tamaki muttered only to get slapped on the back of the head by Haruhi,
"Sempai! Think of Eri-chan's feelings! She is hurt! It is perfectly reasonable to want to get rid of the noise and annoyances- especially when that annoyance is you."

Tamaki went into a corner to sulk. A doctor passed by and gave Tamaki an odd look,
"Nurse, did this one escape from the mental wing?"

A nurse giggled and Tamaki shrunk farther into the corner. The nurse shook her head 'no.'Sighing, the doctor and nurse continued on their way.

"I wonder what they're talking about," the twins said with a devilish smirk and then they had they ears to the door. Tetsuya, Ritsu, Kyoya, Mori, and Haruhi were the only ones that didn't join the twins by the door. They could hear fine from where they were standing though.

"There were more polite ways to tell them to leave," Fumi said. There was sniffling and then a sigh.

"You going to talk about it?"
"What's there to talk about?"
"You know what I mean," Fumi said, "keeping everything bottled up- it's not healthy."
"Fumi…what he did…"
"He?"
"The guy…the guy that I caught breaking into the Kasanoda home."
The twins gasped and Ritsu felt terrible.
"What about him," Fumi said gently.
"I just…you know what he did- the things he did…I just…"
There were sounds of crying and then Fumi,
"Shh…it's okay, Eri…you have me, you have Ritsu…you have the whole host club and even Tetsuya…you'll be okay."
"If…if you say so…"

Fumi sounded motherly,

"Eri, you know that they won't think of you any different-"
"Fumi?"
"Yeah?"
"You can't do a mother voice."

There was laughter and then they heard Fumi's voice.
"Yeah, well at least I can do a British accent."
"It's not my fault it always turns Australian," Eri mumbled.

After that, the conversation was more nonsense than anything for them to make sense of. Tamaki seemed to be in thought.

"Kyoya, what were they talking about?"

Kyoya pushed up his glasses,

"According to the hospital records- Eri was pregnant, about two weeks, and whoever slashed her stomach successfully killed the child, then there were also signs of forced assault….rape…since she had bruising in certain areas, along with the thighs."

Kyoya was gritting his teeth. Ritsu and Tetsuya were tense. Tamaki and Hunny had tears flowing down their cheeks as they cried. The twins were even crying slightly and Mori was on guard.

"Men," Tamaki finally said, "we must bring justice to whoever did this to Eri!"
