WARNING! This chapter will have some angst in it, and there will also be rape and violence! If you don't want to read the rape part (which is VERYmild) then I marked it in bold before it starts and after it ends so you can skip it if you want! Be warned ahead of time!

By the way, Erik is 15, he was held back twice! Just to clear that up!

Chapter 7: Rape and Guilt

Anika was walking home alone. Hiro had something he needed to do, Kisa was with Shane, and Tohru was staying after school to help Yuki with something, while Kyo went to the dojo. She had entered the woods surrounding the area Shigure lived about a mile back (A/N I know the exit probably isn't this far, but pretend it is for the sake of the story), and she still had about a mile to go.

The path she was walking was completely deserted. She was the only one there, and it was eerily silent. She was vulnerable and unprepared for when the attack came. Someone had apparently been following her. They snuck up behind her and hit her in the back of the neck with a wooden baseball bat.

Anika felt the white hot pain on the back of her neck and she lurched forward onto the ground grabbing at her neck in a futile attempt to ease the pain. She landed on the hard dirt road painfully as tears gathered in the corner of her eyes. The person roughly lifter her up and turned her around, but before she had the chance to look at her attacker, they punched her hard on the side of her face. She was pushed back by the force of the blow and she landed on her back on the ground, eyes clenched shut while trying desperately not to cry.

She opened her eyes slightly to see the identity of her attacker. Her eyes widened. It was Erik! He was sneering at her curled up form on the ground in front of him. “Did you think you would get away with rejecting me, Bitch!” He glared at her and he kicked her in the stomach. The air was forced from her lungs at the impact and she started gasping for big breaths, trying to regain some air in her lungs. He kept kicking her in the stomach, in the side, anywhere.

She started coughing up blood, the blood making some of her teeth stain pink. He decided to stop with the kicking when he saw the blood. Tears streamed down her face silently, and she didn't cry out. Then he got a demented, crazed look in his eyes. He bent down and unraveled her arms from around her torso and pinned them above her head. He then straddled her on the ground after straightening her out.

Anika's eyes widened as she realized what was going to happen. She started struggling wildly. She didn't cry out though. There was no one around, no one would hear, it would be pointless. She would have tried to transform or at least get strength from the dragon spirit inside her, but since she couldn't reach the bracelet to unseal it, she was helpless.

The rape scene starts now!-

He roughly started to take off her cloths. If she struggled, he'd slap her. He put his lips roughly over her own, kissing her hard enough to make her lips swell and bruise. He trailed rough kisses down her neck and collar bone. He had already taken off her shirt and was roughly playing with her breasts under her bra. At least he didn't take that off. Tears were streaming faster down her face now and she whimpered. He was sliding her shorts and underwear now down now. Then he tugged off his pants and boxers and thrusted.

-You can read now-

It was over in minutes. He stood up and pulled his boxers and pants up. He sneered down at the broken and scarred girl now curled up in a ball and whimpering in pain. Her insides felt like they had been torn apart. There was blood around her on the ground and on her inner thighs. “Hope you learned your lesson wench.” He spat at her harshly. He turned and walked away.

Anika couldn't move. Her underwear was still around her ankles with her shorts, and her shirt was torn and lay beside her. She was curled up in the tightest ball possible. Her mind was in a state of shock. It was safe to say she would be scared for life now because of Erik. She couldn't, no, wouldn't speak, only whimper or make other small noises to show she was in pain.

She could hear footsteps of someone getting closer. They were a couple meters away when they got a good look at her. She could hear them speed up before they stopped next to her, dropping next to her on their knees. Anika's head was in her arms so her face was not visible, but they could still tell who she was. “Anika! Who did this to you?!” There voice was furious.

Anika lifted her head up, her cheeks stained with her tears, she was no longer crying. She saw the orange hair and instantly recognized Kyo. (A/N Hah! You thought it would be Hiro, huh?) He was staring at her worried and could see the anger in his eyes for the person who did this to her.

She and Kyo had never really talked, but he respected her and would even go so far as to say he liked her. Even though he never showed it, he considered her like a little sister. He would put the person who did this to her in ICU. Intensive Care Unit.

He looked helpless at what to do though. He didn't know about her curse and that he could hug her without transforming. She he quickly pulled up her underwear after getting her to stretch out a little and then wrapped her shirt around her. He slowly picked her up in his arms, careful to not let her touch him.

He rushed home and kicked open the paper doors to the sitting area were Shigure liked to drink tea and read. He looked at him with closed eyes, whining, “Kyooo, what did I tell you about breaking thin-” He cut himself off when he opened his eyes and saw Kyo standing there with Anika curled up in his arms half naked, bleeding and whimpering.

He stood up quick and was over to Kyo's side in a flash. “Dear god, what happened?” He looked at her frantic. Kyo glared at him, still at a loss for what to do. “How the HELL should I know! I was coming back home when I found her I this state just laying there in the middle of the path with almost all of her cloths off and blood everywhere!” (A/N I know im making him sound dense)

Shigure's eyes widened at this. He suspected he knew what happened. He quickly made his way to the phone to call Hatori, Kyo right behind him. He picked up the phone and quickly dialed his number. “Hello?” a bored sounding voice answered on the other end. “Hatori, get over here quick!” he heard him sigh. “Shigure, what do you wan-” but Shigure cut him off. “I'm not playing Hatori! I'm serious! You know Tohru's cousin Anika? Kyo found her in the middle of the road on his way home with blood on the ground around her! Hatori, I think she's been raped!”

He heard Hatori gasp sharply at this, and Kyo shouted an enraged `WHAT!' “I'll be right there.” He quickly hung up. Shigure turned around and motioned for Kyo to follow him. He ran upstairs until he got to Tohru's room. Kyo set her down on Tohru's bed. Not a minute later they heard Hatori open the door downstairs and rush up to Tohru's room. How he knew to go there they didn't know.

He entered the room and saw Anika on the bed. He rushed over to her and shooed Shigure and Kyo away. Normally he wouldn't treat anyone outside the Sohma family, except Tohru. But this was Tohru's cousin, and she was raped. Even if she was a complete stranger, if the person was raped, he would try to help until they brought that person to a proper hospital.

Shigure and Kyo reluctantly left the room. Shigure made to go downstairs while Kyo waited outside the room door, leaning against the opposite wall. “Were you going?” Shigure turned to look back at Kyo.

“To go call the others that know Anika and inform them what has happened.”

Kyo nodded and Shigure continued down stairs.

An hour later

Hatori exited Tohru's room with a sigh before closing the door. He was greeted with the sight of Tohru sitting against the wall crying while Kyo and Yuki tried to comfort her. Kisa was next to them with Hiro trying to comfort her, while he looked absolutely pissed, as did Yuki and Kyo.

Shigure was standing up against the wall with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep. They all looked up when they heard him exit the room. “Well!” they all shouted at him. Hatori sighed heavily; he did not have good news for them. “I'm afraid Shigure's suspicions are correct. Anika was raped. And abused pretty badly too.”

Kisa and Tohru's eyes widened at this before they both burst out crying again. The announcement just made Hiro more furious while Kyo got a darker and darker look on his face. Yuki looked pretty mad too. `I should have been there! I should have just gone with her rather than let her walk home alone!' Hiro thought to himself. Tohru looked up at Hatori with red eyes.

“C-can w-we g-go s-s-see her?” Hatori nodded. Tohru and Kisa sprang up and made their way to the door, pushing them open. They were by Anika's beside before the boys could even blink. Anika was still awake, but was staring off into space with a glazed over look.

“I had to sedate her. I don't know how she stayed awake though. She started struggling when I started to examine her. I'm afraid she's in shock. Her mind is unable to deal with the horror of what happened to her, so her mind went into a type of dormant state. She can't speak or make coherent thoughts. All she can do is make some type of noise from time to time to show she's still alive, if you want to call this state alive.”

Hiro went to stand behind Tohru and Kisa, with Kyo and Yuki behind him. He gazed at Anika sadly. `Anika…' he blamed himself for the state she was in now. How could she ever forgive him?
