This is where we begin this story...with Kuzan's twisted, violent controlling ways towards Yuki. She still loves Ikuto, but Kuzan is trying to get her to himself.

Kuzan

One evening, 19-year old Yuki Bushido-Akio Okami was sitting on a cave, looking completely miserable and defenseless because she's stuck on Kuzan's cavern haven by his orders and she wanted to get out of there and head home, but sadly...he won't let her go because he's too afraid and too full of rage to let her get away that she might tell someone what happened and he's not gonna let her go anywhere...almost as if she's his personal prisoner.

Before long, Kuzan brought in four girls; ages between 16-19 that he's dragging them in and Yuki sees this and she doesn't like the sight of it. Kuzan notices Yuki's very disapproving look and he leaves the girls and heads straight to her and puts his fist on the wall, inching close to her head with a vicious snarl and said, "You got something to say?"

"What are you doing with them?" asked Yuki, angrily.

"Bitch, that's none of your business." Kuzan responded back, with a menacing snarl.

That snarl made Yuki back down and just lays her head down, yet that only enraged Kuzan even further and just grabbed her by the head and said, "Look at me! Don't you lay your damn head down! I tell you to lay your head down when I say you do! Now...I'll be back to deal with you after I deal with these four bitches, so you better not go anywhere!"

He then shoved her down the ground and smacked her on the rear end as a serious warning and Kuzan walks back with the four girls and he put on the nice, polite guy act and said, "Sorry, girls. She won't interfere with us any longer."

But little did these four girls know that underneath that polite smile masks a very dark and ferocious beast hidden there and Yuki didn't know what she was gonna do, but she knows that it's gonna be horrible. Her first instinct was to warn the girls, but with Kuzan under her control, she couldn't take that task because of his intimidating nature.

Five minutes later, they heard girls screaming and Kuzan roaring, whipping and smacking them and Kuzan screaming and cursing at the girls and mounds of threats coming at them left and right and Yuki knew that this was something going down even though she doesn't know why's he doing this.

"Why are you doing this to us?!"

"Help me!"

"Let us out of here!"

Yuki heard the girls' cries helplessly from above and she knows that she has to stop him and she hates the fact that she can't do anything about it...unless there's a better option.

"You girls shut up! You're gonna do what I say and how I say it! Don't make me use my fire-flaming sword to strike at you! You wouldn't like it if I put it up to your heads, wouldn't I?" Kuzan said, roaring uncontrollably.

Now that did it. Yuki got herself up, then quietly snuck out to get help for the girls and she ran to find help as soon as possible before Kuzan even knew she was gone. However...a couple of Kuzan's followers caught her running from above and they come down to warn him that Kuzan's gonna get found out.

A couple of minutes went by and Yuki was still roaming around to find someone to help these poor girls and as she quietly wanders around the forest, she saw six Crimson Moon members and she immediately knew that they'd help her because they're trained under Akashi. However, if the Crimson Moon members found out about this, the first thing they'd do is report it to Akashi about her being abused. But she wasn't gonna take any chances whatsoever and immediately followed them.

But just as she was gonna get their attention, some of Kuzan's lackies captured her and attacked her all while she was screaming for help. Unfortunately for her, the Crimson Members just left and she lost sight of them and she screamed as loud as she could to get their attention, but was unsuccessful no matter how hard she tried. Those lackeys punched and slapped her straight to the face to get her to stop screaming in fears of getting caught.

Meanwhile, one of the Crimson Moon members heard something in the distance and suspects that there might be something wrong happening and he looks at the other members and asked, "You guys hear something?"

"Hear what?" asked another.

"I don't hear anything." another member chimed in.

Soon, the screaming faded and one of those Crimson Moon members that heard the screaming was distraught that it was gone and one of them went to him and said, "You're probably just hearing things. It's probably nothing."

"Yeah, let's head back home. I need some sleep." another one agreed.

The only witness to hear the screaming felt completely torn about this, but didn't want to push the issue further so he just shook it off, despite that guilty conscience gnawing at him and just walks away with his ears drooping in disappointment.

Minutes later

Yuki was being dragged by Kuzan's assistants and Yuki tried to hard to fight them off, but they refused to let her go until they faced Kuzan and once they saw him, one of the assistants threw her where he was standing and one of them said, "We caught her following some guys."

"Very good. Have the night off." Kuzan said, looking at his assistants.

As they left, Kuzan looked at Yuki with a very angry look and he said, "You think you're just gonna turn me in and send me back to jail? There's no way in hell you're gonna do that to me."

"I don't even want to be here anymore!" Yuki shouted.

"It's like that, huh? So you'd go back to that berserker molester? You know what they'll do to a pitiful tigress like you? You're nothing without me...and if you dare leave me for that...that...that bitch of a wolf, you've got another thing coming!" Kuzan shouted back, grabbing her.

Yuki wasn't gonna talk to him, so she walked away from him and headed for home and that set off Kuzan and he immediately went after her, grabbing her by the tail and slamming her down on walls, punching, slapping and throwing her down to the wall, pinning her and he attempts to remove her clothes, but she fought him off as she tried to make a getaway, but he grabbed her by the sides and dragged her towards the steepest parts of the cliff attempts to drop her down a 200-foot ledge.

Yuki was screaming hysterically and Kuzan held a dagger close to her throat and said, "This is how you're gonna leave me. But with your throat slithered out of your neck if you scream. Now...are you gonna stay? ARE YOU?!"

Yuki was basically defenseless and powerless as she gave in and once she did, Kuzan puts away his dagger and leaves her there, leaving Yuki curled up and crying.

Hours later

Yuki snuck out of the cave and went home, beaten and bloodied up and as she went her way home, she saw one of the Crimson members coming and she silently walked to face him and once that Crimson member who heard some screaming turned around to see a very beaten Yuki, he realized that the person that was screaming for help was actually Yuki...much to his shock.

"Yuki?" asked the Crimson member witness.

Yuki broke down crying as she went towards that one member and she said, "Suko..."

Suko came over to her and comforted her as he ripped out a piece of his sleeve and wrapped it around her arm and he asked, "What happened?"

"Can you please...take me to Ikuto's house?" asked Yuki, whimpering.

"Of course." Suko replied.

Suko helped Yuki walk out of the forest on the way to the Yashida's house and Suko said, "If I had known it was you screaming, I would've acted immediately."

"I wanted to tell you...that there were four girls held captive in that cave. They might still be there, but I'm not sure if they're still in danger or if...that monster set him free and forced them to deny it." Yuki answered.

"I'll look into it. For now, let's get you to Ikuto." Suko said.

"Please don't tell this to my parents or Akashi. I don't want them to find out because if they did, I'd get killed." Yuki said, whimpering.

"I don't know. They might have a right to know." Suko stated.

A couple of minutes later, they finally made it to the Yashida's place and when Suko knocked on the door, blood was coming down Yuki's face and nose, dripping out of there and when the door opened, they saw a very horrified Lei standing there in shock and she asked, "Yuki?"

And next chapter...Yuki spends the night at the Yashida's house. Stay tuned for more!
