Yuki looked up at Hatori san with what Kyou could only note as recognition. He was shocked to see the other not cowering as he had been from Tohru. He simply blinked. “Do you remember Hatori?” Kyou questioned.
“Hai! He came and visited me after Master would beat on me and make me feel better! He always said something about how ‘he’ wouldn’t approve of such a treatment on anyone.” Yuki commented, happily. “Right, Hatori- sama?”
“Sama?” Kyou questioned.
Hatori took the other aside gently, making sure that Yuki knew he just wanted to talk to Kyou a bit alone. Kyou had finally figured out who had done this to Yuki from piecing everything together and he was slowly brimming with anger. “It was Akito who did all this, wasn’t it?” He demanded to know.
“Hai, it was… He’s done a terrible thing harming Yuki like he has however, since he’s let Yuki go, he’s disowned him well… Yuki needs someone to protect him from Akito, right now he’s angry with himself for letting Yuki go already. Kyou… Please, lay claim to him or take him to someone that will. It’s only through my abilities as a doctor that Yuki survived this time around and your care that helped him recover.” Hatori commented.
“I- I… I don’t know what to do… Hatori, please you must tell me what happened to him, I have to know why he doesn’t remember.” The cat commented.
“Well, Kyou… His former master asked me to erase his memories, however, he could not make me use one way, nor could he control what I erased from the other’s mind. I didn’t erase memories at all, I just told him to feed Yuki a special paste to reinforce what he thought I’d been doing this whole time. It did make many of his memories fade, but they’re still there, intact.” He replied.
“So… They will come back?” Kyou wondered.
“But, slowly, very slowly. He’s been being fed that paste since Akito took him from here.” The doctor commented.
“So…. He’s really not lying about having forgotten anything before…. That bastard…” Kyou growled out.
“He seems much happier now that you’ve found him and have been caring for him.” Hatori commented.
The other remained quiet, his face flushed momentarily. “I… I…. Just.. I don’t want to fight him if he doesn’t know why I’d be doing so…. He just seems so… Fragile right now.” The other explained.
“As I’m sure he is… You’ve managed to gain his trust though, I’m sure, to destroy that now even if your goal is to beat Yuki, it wouldn’t be good on his mind.”
“Hai, I have a lot to think on now…. Hatori… Please, let me help you tend to his wounds.” The other whispered.
“Very well.” Hatori accepted.
Thus, they returned to Yuki’s side and Kyou worked in silence with undamaging the wounds, Hatori commented on a few things. “You’ve done a good job of cleaning and dressing his wounds, also setting the broken ribs was a job well done too, Kyou.” His quiet voice spoke as he inspected the wounds. “We’ll have to stitch up the wound to the stomach, but other than that, everything else seems well. Are you eating solid foods yet, Yuki- kun?” Hatori asked the boy.
“No.. I’ve been eating pudding and applesauce without problems though.” He commented.
“You decided to take it easy on him, a good idea until his stomach heals somewhat, and a good way to find out about internal bleeding in that area without harming him too much.” The other stated.
Kyou nodded. Soon, Yuki’s examination was finished and Hatori- san left the two alone while he left to fetch bandages. “Yuki… Did you mean what you requested earlier, would you really want to subject yourself to possibly the same exact treatment that your former master gave you?” Kyou questioned.
“I’ve thought about that but… I know you wouldn’t treat me like that.” The other commented.
“And how do you?” Kyou countered.
“Because, you have gentle hands when you touch me, like you’re afraid I’ll break or- or vanish if you do so too hard.” Yuki tried explaining. “And how you always check on me every hour or so as if to see if I’m having nightmares…”
“Okay, that’s- that’s enough.” Kyou commented. “You know why I’m asking this don’t you?”
“Hai, you want to make sure that I’m not just doing this because I’m forced to, or feel forced.” Yuki replied.
“Yes, I don’t want you to be forcing yourself so soon when you’ve barely recovered from what happened the last time you were forced into a relationship like that.” Kyou admitted. “But- also, so I can figure out why. You could live without one, true enough, but I think you know you aren’t ready to be without a Master. Because Akito protected you from others didn’t he?”
“He- he did… By keeping me hidden away…” Yuki stated.
“And I think he did that to reinforce the feeling that you needed him.” Kyou explained. “However, I also believe that you now fear him as well.”
“Hai, I do fear him.” The other stated, almost as soundless as a breath.
“And now you seek protection from him and you believe that you can find that in me?” The other suggested.
“I- I think so, yes.” Yuki murmered.
“Very well… I think I shall take you as my slave, Yuki… If only to protect you from Akito.” Kyou agreed.
“You will?” Yuki questioned, unsure.
“Hai, I will.” He murmered.
“Thank- you, Master!” Yuki happily pounced on the other, knocking them both to the floor.
Kyou didn’t know why, but it didn’t bother him at all that Yuki had done so. It just made him sigh knowingly as he patted the other’s head like he were a child. “Master?” The other questioned.
“Hai?” Kyou replied.
“Can I call you by your name still when I want?” The other wondered.
“Yes, Yuki, you may.” Kyou commented.
Thus, Kyou took Yuki as his slave and he also realized that it might not be so bad.. After all, these odd feelings he was having towards the other.
