Chapter 16- Bite the Hand

Hatori watched Knox go for a few seconds before he ran inside to see Akito. He was lying on the ground not moving; there were blood spatters all over the room. A little silver knife, its blade smeared crimson, lay on the ground several feet away from him. Hatori realized that it was the knife that Akito always had.

Haru idly walked into the main house on his way to his home. He wanted to see Knox; he'd have to go over there later… once his homework was done. At this point he didn't care if Hatori yelled at him.

He opened the door and was surprised to see Knox in his front room, there was blood on his coat. Knox got up and hugged him.

"What are you doing here?" Haru asked; surprise was an understatement. 'How'd he get here? I've never told him the directions before.'

"Hatori visited me so I thought it would only be fair to give Akito a little visit too," Knox told him still not letting go of the cow.

"He tried to erase your memory," Haru half asked, as Knox finally let go of him. Knox just nodded. "Did you kill Akito?"

Knox shook his head, "If Hatori hurries he won't die."

Haru's face remained blank for a moment, "I half wish you did kill him. But then, you'd be in a lot of trouble if you had."

Knox nodded, and then smiled evilly, "I don't necessarily know about that. They don't have much proof."

Haru looked at him and dead panned, "Oh, yeah forgot for a second. But still…"

"You know I love you, but I don't know what would happen to you if he died," Knox sighed and stared at him.

Haru smiled at him and kissed him, "I love you too."

"Why don't I show you my house since you're here," Haru smiled grabbing his hand, "and wash your hands."

Akito had been in the hospital for quite sometime now but thanks to Hatori's quick actions and the help of some other doctors he was now at least stable.

Hatori sat in his office. His mind wandered to Akito's wounds. It was weird; too weird. He needed to talk to someone; anyone… as long as it wasn't another doctor anyway.

Maybe it was time to go to Shigure's and let them know of the current situation. Maybe it would make sense then. Maybe.

He got up and left not bothering to tell anyone goodbye. It nagged at him the whole way there. Obviously he'd missed something. Or there was something wrong with… no. What could possibly… no, he wouldn't think about until he got to Shigure's. Hopefully they were home. Momiji was over there again. It seemed he was over there a lot lately. He quickly decided that it wasn't something Momiji or Tohru should hear. He'd have to get them out of the room or something.

He pulled up to Shigure's and knocked on the door. It was Tohru who answered the door.

"Oh, hello, Hatori." Her smiled faded as she saw him, she asked, "what's wrong?"

Sometimes Tohru could be very empathetic.

"Nothing," Hatori told her. "Momiji is over here right?"

As if to answer his question the rabbit came bouncing into view chased by a very angry Kyo.

"Never mind," Hatori sighed as he went inside, "Miss Honda, would you please take Momiji and go get this for me. Don't tell them what it is."

He handed her a little slip of paper with something scribbled on it.

"She's not your errand girl! Do it yourself!" Kyo yelled angrily.

"Of course!" Tohru answered Hatori. "Momiji, you want to go with me, right?"

The rabbit nodded.

"All right! Let's go!" Momiji yelled happily as the two left.

Kyo looked rather annoyed.

"So, why was it that you wanted Tohru and Momiji gone?" Shigure asked. He really wasn't so stupid sometimes.

"Yuki is here right?" Hatori asked, not wanting to tell them more than once.

"Upstairs," Shigure pointed.

"Someone go get him," Hatori sighed, he didn't want to do it.

"Go on, Kyo," Shigure told him.

"Why should I go and get the damn rat?" Kyo shouted angrily, "I'm not his babysitter or anything. You're the adult you do it!"

"Because I said so," Shigure said.

"That's no reason!" Kyo yelled at him.

Just then Yuki came down the stairs.

"I take it you want to talk to me," he sighed once downstairs. He turned to Kyo, "you know you're really loud right?"

"Shut up, ya damn rat," Kyo said angrily.

"Yes, let's sit down in the kitchen," Hatori said and went into the kitchen, leaving them to follow him.

"So what's so important?" Kyo snapped annoyed, once they'd sat down.

"Where's Tohru?" Yuki asked.

"She and Momiji left," Hatori said, "I didn't want them to hear what I'm about to tell you."

"Really, what is it?" Shigure asked curiously.

"Akito ordered Knox's memory erased," Hatori started only to cut off.

"And who didn't know it would come down to that," Yuki sighed.

"That's not all," Hatori said, "I went to Knox's and tried to erase his memory…"

"Tried?" Shigure asked in surprise.

"It didn't work," Hatori continued, "I tried twice; made him pretty mad. Side note, the other day when Haru had said that Knox wasn't mad he was right. I've never seen anyone so angry; scary. Anyway, we went back to the main house…"

"We? You took Knox to the main house?" Kyo asked.

"He wanted to go, and I wasn't in the mood or position to disagree with him," Hatori sighed.

"Well, that's scary news to me," Shigure said.

"Anyway I took him to Akito," Hatori sighed.

"What were you thinking!" Yuki shot, "Akito, would kill him!"

Yuki paused for a moment, "Did he kill him?"

"No, almost the complete opposite, Knox tore Akito up pretty badly," as Hatori said this the others' eyes widened in shock, Hatori remembered grimly the words Knox had spat out before he'd left, "Akito, almost died. The worst part about it all… in a professional medical opinion, no human could've done that to Akito. It was like a wolf had attacked him. There were claw and bite marks all over, canine bite marks."

The three looked at him in complete shock and there were several moments of the most unnerving silence after Hatori was done speaking.

"What do you mean like a wolf?" Yuki asked finally ending the silence.

"Just like I told you," Hatori sighed, "the official report was that Akito was attacked by an animal, a wolf."

"So your saying that the cops wouldn't even charge Knox with anything because there was no proof that Knox attacked him," Shigure said thoughtfully.

"Shigure, you know the main house would never call the police," Hatori sighed.

"But even if they wanted too, they couldn't?" Shigure said.

"Shigure, you're ignoring the issue," Yuki sighed annoyed.

"Issue is, again?" Shigure asked as if not knowing.

"How'd he do it?" Kyo half told Shigure and half asked annoyed and curious.

"Maybe he can turn into a wolf," Shigure half teased, "it's not impossible you know. Maybe he's a werewolf or something…"

"Yeah and maybe he's a wolf in disguise, who knows," Kyo snapped angrily.

"Wolf in disguise?" Hatori asked.

"Ya know like tricking us all," Kyo snapped he got up suddenly, "I've got homework to do. If you find anything else out… I wanna know."

He looked at Hatori for a moment and then left the room.

"Well, whatever it is we need to find out," Hatori sighed.

"You think it has something to do with the fact that you couldn't erase his memory?" Yuki asked.

"It probably does," Hatori sighed. "I'll look into it."

He got up and bid them farewell.

"Well, this is getting interesting," Shigure sighed as Hatori left.
