[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Kuu: Hey guys! I've got the urge to continuously update..Can it be?
-Chapter 20- (hopefully this chapter will be a little longer for your reading pleasure!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
"..So it's pretty much been that way for a couple of months now, although..I'm not sure what happened recently, but my guess would be is Akito probably found out and decided to do something about it. As soon as Haa-kun comes down we'll call Hatori." The dog explained.
Yuki nodded, not even trying to hide the obvious surprise written all over his face. Something between Haru and yo had been going on for that long and he hadn't even noticed? He kind of overlooked the fact that the cat hadn't been picking fights with him ..Figuring he'd just given up, knowing Yuki would pound him anyway? 'No..That cat has way to much pride to do something like that.' He thought to himself bitterly. He'd gotten so caught up in the peace and quiet that he didn't even think to question it. Although...It was pretty wierd that his two rather arrogant cousins had completely ceased their fighting and bickering everytime they were in the same room together..
Shigure smirked. He know it was a rather bad time to be smiling due to amusement..But the look on the princes face as he battled with his new thoughts was absolutely priceless!
Yuki suddenly jumped up from his seat, grasping the dogs attention. "Wait a sec....That means..That one time in my room......" Shigure absently rubbed the back of his head under the intense glare the rat was giving him when Tohru entered the room, worry practically stamped on her forehead. Yuki and Shigure exchanged curious glances before turning back to the unusually quiet girl.
"What's the matter, Ms.Honda? Did you check on Haru?" He questioned her uneasily. She gave him a small nod.
"H-hai..But..He wasn't there.." She told them, tapping her fingers together nervously.
"What?" Shigure squeaked at the girl.
"Don't tell me he was still Black..This is way worse then I ancticipated.." Yuki told himself quietly, earning a look from the dog.
"What..?" Shigure repeated. Yuki looked up, concern adorning his usual impassive face, he gave an irritated sigh, certainly the dog wasn't stupid enough to not understand what he was talking about? "Tch. You of all people should know. Usually when you hit Black Haru hard enough he reverts back to white..But this time, it seems like he went out Black..And woke up Black..Which is definately a very bad thing." He stated
"But, what makes you think he's still Black?" The dog wondered.
Yuki gave him one of his detached 'are-you-stupid' looks. "Obviously becausehe snuck out of the window in his room instead of coming down and using the door..For all we know he could be half way to the main house by now."
"Ano, I tried calling Hatori..But there was no answer.." Tohru informed them.
Shigure stood. "This is bad, quickly, we've gotta get over there." He stated in an unusually serious tone and walked from the room.
----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Kyo cracked an eye open and looked around the room he was in. It was dark and cold..Or maybe it was just cold because he wasn't wearing a shirt? The windows were drawn shut, but he could hear the disheartening sound of rain outside, as it tapped lightly at the glass. Still looking around, he attempted to stand, but his head started pounding and he felt a wave of dizziness overcome him. It was useless to try anything, in his weakened state.
He felt himself begin to panic. Where was he..? He'd remembered struggling with a person who'd come into his room when he was getting ready to go to bed..But that's all he could remember, the rest was fuzzy..And when he came to..He was here, and not only that..It was raining..He could feel all of his energy seeping out of his body. He felt so...helpless...
Kyo sensed movement from across the room, he stared across the room..Trying to focus on the figure lurking in the shadows, but his eyes just wouldn't adjust to the darkness.
"You know..This is the first time i've let filth like you in this room. You should feel lucky." Akito drawled as he stepped out of the shadows. Kyo froze. He felt his body grow cold just by the sound of the mans voice. He felt that he should move, to avoid being near the head, but he couldn't will his body to move.
"You're not looking to good, are you okay?" He asked with mock concern, a devilish grin adorning his face. Kyo remained silent, for his own good..Knowing that anything he said would only prove to put him in deeper shit. He stared at the floor, listening as Akito spoke.
"So. I hear you've tangled yourself up with the Ox." He stated, looking for any kind of reaction from the feline. He smirked as he saw the cats shoulders tense when he brought up the cow.
"So it's true." He deadpanned, kneeling in front of the redhead. "Did you think I'de actually allow that?" He asked softly. He was obviously in one of his nice moods at the moment. "Well. I guess it's not surprising that he's shown an interest in you..After all, he's not that far from a monster himself with that terrible personality of his." Kyo scowled at the floor, not willing to meet the mans fierce gaze. He'd like to punch the smirk off that bastards face..But he was frozen under the older teens gaze.
"He changed his standards dramatically I see..Giving up on my precious Yuki and settling on someone easier, like you." Kyo winced at the disgusted tone. He squeezed his eyes shut as he tried to drone out the sound of heads voice. He'd practically been raised listening to peoples mental abuse..He should be used to it by now, but no matter how hard he trained for it, once he was back in this position..He was like the cowering child he was all those years ago. He felt tears swell in his eyes as he tried his best to hold them back. He didn't want to give Akito the satisfaction of seeing him break under his cold gaze.
"So was he a good lay?" Akito asked, breathing into the cats ear, causing him to shrink back slightly. He clicked his tongue at the teens silence. "He's just using you, you know. No matter who it is, you're the cat, the one everyone despises. You're a burden to this whole family. He doesn't love you, no one does." He stated, gently brushing a few stray hairs out of the neko's face.
'he doesn't love you, no one does' Kyo shut his eyes tightly, a single tear slipping out before he could stop it. He jerked his head away from the mans grasp, as he tried to block out the words that flowed through his head. Akito had a thing with mind games. As long as he believed that Haru really did care about him , that's all that matters, right..?
Akito felt himself getting slightly agitated. "No? Then perhaps we should take off that lovely bracelet and call him in here, we'll see what he think then."
Kyo's eyes snapped open, turning to look at the dark haired man. "N-no..Please.." He pleaded as he felt more tears falling from his eyes. He was so weak....
Akito's eyes widened in anger. "You have the nerve to tell me no? It seems you're in need of another lesson in behavior" He snarled.
"No..No.." The cat shook his head. Akito growled as he hit the kneeling teen. Kyo flinched at the impact, and spit, trying to get the metallic taste of blood out of his mouth.
"Ugh, look what you've done to my floor.." He spat as he stood, glaring at the bewildered teen. "Hey! Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" He growled, letting his foot connect with the cats ribs, causing the cat to fall onto his side, wheezing for breath. Akito dropped himself on top of the neko, straddling his hips. Kyo froze as he felt something cold and sharp come in contact with his skin.
Akito gave a satisfied smirk when he saw the terrified look on the redheads face. He ran the tip of the small blade along the cats collar bone and across his shoulder. Kyo gasped him pain as blood began to trickle from the new wound. "It's not very pleasant is it, Koneko?" He chuckled, bringing the stained blade up a little higher. "It's a pity, I almost hate to scar such a beautiful face." He whispered as he lightly ran it over the cats cheek, watching as the small red line puffed up with unspilled blood.
Kyo was trembling now. He tried jerking his head away from the flesh hungry carving tool. Akito narrows his eyes and grabbed a hand full of the fiery teens hair, pressing the knife against his throat just hard enough to break the skin, but not enough to seriously injure him. He reveled in the feel the boy gasping for air while trying to keep himself from shaking under him. He bent down a bit, to whisper into the cats ear.
"You think you were free did you? You belong to me." He breathed, lightly licking the blood that was still dripping from the teens mouth. Akito abruptly looked up when there was a knock at the door.
"Akito, Hatori will be here shortly to give you a check up." Kureno informed him from the doorway. Akito sighed.
"Very well, take him and lock him up." He ordered as he released the languid neko. A few members of the family, who also had a deep grudge against the cat, and didn't mind helping Akito in this matter, walked in and retrieved the boy, who put up almost no resistance at all. (A/N: Well duh! he's practically unconcious now you fucking bastard!)
"Do whatever you want with him" Akito told them, brushing himself off. "Just don't kill him."
----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Haru grumbled as he quickly headed back toward the main house. He'd gotten temporarily 'delayed' at Shigure's. He was going to leave that night, but..Someone had to interrupt...Let's just say, Haru was double-pissed when he came to and he was still at the damn dogs house. So, as a solution to make up for the time lost, he figured he'd leave without letting anyone know first, that way they couldn't attempt to stop him, right? So he opted for the easiest way of escape. The window. Which just happened to be on the second floor, but that would also explain why he was moving with a slight limp..Ignoring it, Haru, as quickly as he could with a someone hurt ankle, and it pouring down rain, made his way until the Sohma estate came into view.
This time he wouldn't let anyone stop him.
'If you've even gone as far as lay a finger on my kitten..By god I'll...' He thought to himself as he entered the main gates.
