A/N- *cough cough* sorry if this chapter turns into crap *cough cough* I'm kinda sick with some horrible disease again (still…not really but I am sick again) *cough cough* This chapter has disturbing content and I won't be surprised if you skip it. So read on or don't. PS- thanks for the heads up Isillin. I got the last name mixed up with the first (I blame the cold) when I do the revisions I'll fix it! And the thing that's wrong with Tohma is that he has DID more commonly known as MPD or Multiple Personality Disorder. People would are abused as a child may have this and… well I have him being abused as a child in this story so it may not make a lot of sense but there is some sense there!

Chapter 15- Cannibal in the warehouse

Shu pov

It was so silent…too silent. Tohma stood there watching Rage for a moment. His eyes were more icy then I had seen them for a long time. They hadn't been like this for nearly seven years and even then I could honestly say that it was never this bad. This was not the real Tohma…he was going into one of his…'states' again (1).

Sure he'd have those days where it obviously wasn't him standing behind his desk but this was worse. The way he held himself, the way his eyes spoke of death and cruelty…it was almost like the day before Yuki….no….Eiri had run away (2). It was like he had pulled his real personality into himself and locked it away. Now all that was left was a fake.

Slowly he approached her letting his feet stomp on the ground loudly. At first I thought he was merely going to insult her, perhaps yell at her as if he were an angry child, maybe even keep his normally calm though insistent demeanor. My blood ran cold when he did none of these. Tohma lashed out at her and struck Rage's left cheek. This was the first time I had ever actually seen him hit anyone and as he did it again I cringed. His hand shot out and he grabbed a fist full of her hair. With one vigorous yank she was pulled up and forced to look him in the eyes.

"And what have I told you about saying that when I'm around…when we have guests that don't need to know what's going on?", his voice cut through the silence instantly and his smile sent a chill down my spine.

"I…I…I!" Rage sputtered before finally finding her voice. "I didn't think you were around."

Tohma's smile faltered and glared at the girl, "What?"

"I…I didn't think you were there."

He bared his teeth at her and actually snarled. "You what?"

Her legs were visible shaking now, "I didn't think…"

He threw Rage forward and her head made contact with the wall, "YOUR RIGHT! You didn't think, you little bitch! You didn't think that I would mind! You didn't think that I would even hear you!"

"I just didn't think…." she was cut off once again as his knee slammed into her midriff. Rage keeled over and grasped at the ground.

"Come again?" he asked…another cruel smile on his face.

"I didn't…" another kick, though this time to the chest.

"I didn't quite hear you?" she got onto all fours and again made an attempt to speak.

"I…."

Tohma kicked her directly in the stomach and the pain was so intense that she nearly fainted. Rage screamed as He kicked her again and again until she actually started to retch. I could take it anymore. As I heard her scream in pain I forgot what type of situation we were actually in. My mind went blank. All that I could hear, think about, or see was the screaming. It had to end.

"STOP!"

He stopped for a moment and turned to me. His face showed mild surprise but overall joy, "Oh my! I nearly forgot about you my little Shu-chan….I will tend to you in a moment."

He turned back to Rage, ready to kick her again, but my voice rang out once more, "Please just stop! Just….please just stop hurting her! I'll…I'll do anything if you just stop hurting her! I can't watch another minute."

His foot inched it's way over to her and tapped gently, "Anything?"

"Anything."

"Will you join me for dinner?"

I looked at him strangely for a moment. What an odd request. Join him for dinner? Slowly….without even realizing I was doing it…I nodded. The screaming was still fresh in my memory and I wasn't thinking clearly because of it. I didn't realize that if I agreed that I mostly likely was going to be joining as the main course. Tohma started to step away from her but stopped still within range.

"One more for good measure," he said as his foot made contact with her head. She was out that instant and if I hadn't seen the rise and fall of her chest I would have thought she was dead.

He approached me slowly, pulling out a small dagger like object and I remembered what was really going on. The meal would be me. The steel gleamed in the poor lighting of the room. As he lashed out at me I was sure it would all be over but when nothing came I opened my eyes to see that most of the ropes had been cut away leaving only my hands and feet tied in an awkward way…like I had been put out on display for everyone to see. My legs were spread and my arms were tied together.

"Why?" I asked confused.

He leaned against the wall and smirked at me, "I suppose I'll be going against tradition or rather my own tradition."

"What…what?"

"Well…..I've always found the German Gormagon quite...interesting," Tohma played with the knife in his hands. "They love to torture the victim…torture them until they break."

My eyes grew wide, "What…what are you gonna do?"

"I'm unsure….emotional and mental torture seem overdone but physical torture is to expected. I want to do something new, something fresh….perhaps I can do a little of both," He grabbed my arms and pressed the knife up against them. "Or perhaps I can just cut you up and let the others find you…haha…I can just imagine what they would put on your headstone! 'Here he rest in pieces' yes…I'll do that…I've always loved playing with my food though my mentor (3) told me not to."

He pressed the metal into my left arm and slid down it slowly. I screamed but the moment I opened my mouth I was gagged, "I'd love to see your reaction but for now I do not wish to hear it."

Another cut and another scream muffled my the gag. He started to trace patterns and pictures into my skin. Stars, squares, circles, and triangles. The blood streamed down my body and pooled around me. Finally he finished as he carved the word whore across both of my legs. Tohma looked at his handy work for a moment and smile. He removed the gag and my ragged breathing filled the room.

"Such a beautiful site….it's like looking at a fallen angel!" He turned me over onto my stomach. "but where are the wounds from when they ripped your wings away? Perhaps I should find them."

His dagger inched its way towards my back but he hesitated as I spoke, "You don't have to do this….this isn't you Tohma….you have control over everything you do…you can fight this."

I craned my neck so that I could look at his face. It was frozen in horror as he looked at his bloody hands. They were shaking badly.

"You can fight this Tohma…just remember that you have control over your own actions…just remember that you have control."

My eyes bore into his own and I watched as tears streamed down his face, "I….I can't…I can't…."

"Yes you can."

"No…no I can't." and with that last comment I actually wanted to cry as well…because his eyes had become cold and cruel. Tohma had once again locked himself away into his own mind. The knife pierced my skin and slashed down in two swift movements.

"Such a beautiful fallen angel….such a wonderful broken one," He whispered after a minute.

"I may be hurt but I'll never broken," I hissed back. "You might be able to cause me pain but you'll never break me with this alone."

Tohma stopped for a moment and glared. His hands trailed down my back.

"Is that so?" He cooed. "Perhaps I should up my efforts a notch."

"W…what?" I stuttered as his hands traveled lower.

"You know….I've always been jealous of Eiri, but I was jealous of Taki too. I mean both of them…got to feel a part of you I didn't. But soon all three of us will know what it's like (4)," he whispered and my blood ran cold.

Zack pov

All of us were back at the lab including myself though I probably wasn't in the right condition to be doing much of anything. Bones was resting next to Booth, her head on his shoulder, Cam was staring off into space, Angela was sitting a couple feet away nervousily bouncing her leg, and Sweets & Yuki were having a conversation about something that didn't interest me. Hodgins was the only person at this point that really got my attention. He was hunched over a table looking closely at a microscope. I stood behind the man watching him as he did his work.

"Zack…..?"

"Yes?"

"Have you ever heard anyone say 'a watched pot never boils?'" He said turning around to face me.

"How does that apply here….and a watched pot boils! Don't say such stupid things," I muttered not really getting what he was saying. "Now get back to working on the particulates."

"No…Zack…I no that it does. It's an expression. What I mean is that just because you watch me doesn't mean I'll find the answers fasters."

"Oh….."

He pinched the bridge of his nose, "Why do you even care so much….I mean…yes time is important in this type of case…and yes…he's a good kid….I imagine he's a good friend as well but I just don't see why you're getting so upset! Even if you've known him for years….I don't see why this is affecting you so much. You should be in a hospital right now and yet you chose to come here. Why is it so important that we find him?"

I lowered my head and allowed my bangs to fall into my face, "He was my best friend…my first friend…I can't just abandon him now…not when he's done so much for me. He'd do the same for me I'm sure…."

Hodgins didn't believe that was the full reason but he didn't say a word about it. Slowly he went back to work and I when back to my thoughts. A gasp pulled me back almost instantly.

"What?"

"Well…hahaha….it's the exoskeleton of a common bed bug mixed in with some harmless mold….but when you search for an outbreak….(5)"

"You find Shu."

A/N- Well that was it I hope you didn't hate it.

the reason for the random number:

1. Shu knows about Tohma's DID.

2. This is a major plot point that will show up in the next story (the sequel I mean)

3. Who do you think his mentor was? I'll mention you in the chapter if you figure it out.

4. AnimeWolf524 came up with that….so go check out her story.

5. This was the only thing I could come up with so no flaming on that, k?

Only two chapters left people so review review review!
