Yuki walked down the hall feeling not so well, Akito wanted to see him today. No visit was ever plesant. It often consisted of a whip on his feet, punches in the face, and other things Yuki wanted to erase from his mind. Yuki entered Akito's room and sat down waiting for him to enter. Akito came in not wanting to waste a moment of the fun he would soon have with Yuki, Yuki- his fellow servant.

· "Yuki, do you know why I have called for you here today?" he said in a mocking questioning tone. Making Yuki shudder."

o "No Akito, what do you wish to speak to me about?" Yuki said in his most respecting voice without shuddering or looking afraid.

o "You have been getting out of line, and I tend to fix that in this one, and only meeting." Yuki flinched is shacking fists, head bowed, not daring to look at the face that causes himself and his family so much pain.

o "YOU RAT! LOOK AT ME WHEN WE SPEAK!" And a hard slap was placed on his face. Yuki looked up at him with anger. Akito finding defiance hit Yuki again and again, but Yuki took his hits.

· Akito grabbed Yuki's collar and picked him up throwing him to the wall. Yuki stood up, finally breaking the fear bounds that had tied his life. "You Akito may be the head of the family, but you are no God. You nothing of one, and there is only on God. That "You" will never come close to."

Akito was now in a true rage and ran toward Yuki with a glass full of water. Akito splashed water in Yuki's face in a temp to stun him so the glass would break his flesh. But Yuki though drenched with water, was able to dodge the glass that was now shattered on the floor. Akito screamed. "ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, YOU WILL FEAR ME! AND YOU WILL SUBMITE TO ME! YOU YUKI WILL DO AS I SAY!"

· "You can try Akito, but it seems that the bounds that you put on me are broken, and I will never submit to you again as long as I live."

· Akito spat, "Then it looks like you will have to die in order to follow me."

· Yuki froze, "this was it- he was going to try to kill me. He is going to- no. I will fight, He will not win. If anything- he will beg for me to not take his pathetic life form him." He thought in a fighting stance.

Yuki lunged toward Akito grabbing his arm twisting it, causing Akito to scream. Akito broke free and punched Yuki in the stomach and then the eye. Yuki lay in pain, finding the start of tears beginning to show. "No, he thought. I will not show weakness." He stood up feeling his eye becoming tender and puffy. Akito lunged again and pulled Yuki's hair. Yuki screamed and flipped his body so Akito was now on his back. pined by the now grown, strong Yuki. Yuki smiled and spit on Akito's face and then took his fist and repeatedly punched him in the face. Akito now starting to cry gave Yuki a great feeling in his stomach, Akito was now suffering only a little of what he did to Yuki when he was just a kid.

Yuki found himself with the same smile Akito gave him over and over again after he would torcher him. Feeling as though Akito had, had enough pain for now, dropped his guard. To only find he had made a big mistake. Akito took his knee and rammed Yuki's stomach, and as Yuki rolled off of Akito to the ground; hunched in pain. Akito got up fast and held Yuki's throat in a tight grip. Yuki's eyes went wide knowing any struggle would cause Akito to tighten far more than just a warning. Akito smiled, "Now Yuki, Yuki, Yuki. Is this the behavior of a rat? Or is the behavior of a traitor? A threat if you will." Yuki could only gasp finding his air waves tighten and finding that any move he could make would resolve the last blow, death.

Akito not paying attention felt a hard hit in the head by Yuki's leg, which caused thankfully for Yuki, a chance to breath. Akito held his head and turned furious at Yuki.

· "YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME RAT?! YOU BETTER SAY YOUR PRAYERS AND BEG FOR ME TO SPARE YOU! BEG AND I MIGHT LET YOU LIVE TO SEE LIFE ANOTHER DAY! BEG YUKI BEG TO ME!"

Yuki wanted no part in this and crawled fast to the open door which led to the back gardens to the gate, but knew Akito would beat him to the punch. Just when Yuki thought this might be the end, there was a nock at the door.

· "Master Akito? Akito turned fast toward the door. Master is everything alright in there?" A maid spoke with concern.

Yuki managed to get to the open door and make his escape before Akito could continue make due with his weak body. The maid opened the door to find Akito staring furious at the door. "Mast- AHH!" The maid screamed as Akito hit her.

· "YOU USLESS SERVANT! YOU MADE THAT PEST GET AWAY! I SHOULD PUNISH YOU NOW FOR SUCH TREASION!"

· "NO!, NO master! Please I was just coming to see if you were ok! Please I only wish to see you well! Forgive me please!" The maid now was on her knees begging. Akito who was at this point worn out from everything that had happened today sighed and dismissed the freighted maid.

Ackito looked out the window happy. "At least the rat had learned a lesson he would never forget, A lesson that no one would ever bring down the head of the Somma family. No one."
