Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Raped Love ❯ Visit ( Chapter 3 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Authoress Note: I put this under self insertion because even though I don't live the life of the character, she resembles me in every other possible way. This would basically be me if my family was dead and I lived with an abusive and perverted cousin. Just don't get the idea that I have been raped or abused or anything. I live a pretty good life.
I don't own Fruits Basket or any reference to anything that already exists. Please don't sue me. My computer is my most valuable possession, and it's a piece of crap.
Thankies to Aya Hanabashi, Artic_Fox999, and Shiugre for reviewing. You guys really brightened my spirits. Ok, that was really cheesy sounding. Anyways, this is the first time that people really like fics of mine and read them without me telling them to. I feel really happy today. Almost scary. Yeah, so now I'm gonna shut up and write this thing. Sorry for the original mispelling of Arctics name. Heh. *Sweatdrop.*

Three: Visit


"Well what do we have here?" asked Akito.
"This girl. Kyo found her in the woods on his way home last night. She seems to know the family secret," answered Hatori.
The look on Akito's face was that of mild curiosity. "And does 'This girl' have a name?"
"She seems to have lost her voice."
"Then how did you acquire the before mentioned information?"
This didn't surprise Hatori very much. "She wrote down what she knew on a piece of paper. I never asked her name."
At this point Savannah stood up and tried to say something, forgetting that she couldn't talk. She tried to scream, but what came out was a raspy sound of what was supposed to be, "Hello, I'm still here!"
"You shall speak when spoken to!" yelled Akito. (A/N: I was tempted to write "You shall attempt to speak when spoken to." But that isn't like Akito.) Shigure looked worried and Hatori made a small move towards Akito, but the head of the family suddenly smiled, seemingly calm. Thus the tense feeling was passed to Savannah. "What is your name, girl?" he asked, almost entirely concealing his anger.
Despite her better judgment, all Savannah did was glare at Akito. She made no move to answer, which didn't please him a bit.
"Do what you are told! Tell me your name! Tell me how you know these things!!! You have no right to! Tell me everything, you little bitch!"
But Savannah was stubborn. She held her ground, unblinkingly glaring daggers at Akito. This pushed him over the edge, and he ran and punched her in the gut. Her knees buckled and she grabbed her stomach, but she looked back up and stared with cold hatred. Shigure had immediately run over to restrain Akito, but Savannah shook her head, showing that she wanted to win this herself. Shigure still moved forward, and she grabbed his arms and thrust him back with the rest of the Sohmas. She cleared her throat and whispered, "Stay out of this."
She then moved towards Akito and kicked him in the shoulder, an amazing height because she was only 5'1". He grabbed his shoulder and hit her in the face. This caused her to wince, flinching. Akito took advantage of the opportunity to grab a pot and smash it over her head. It started to bleed, but Savannah still glared with no intention of answering his question. Hatori and Shigure moved forward again, Shigure grabbing Akito's arms as Hatori grabbed Savannah's head.
"Come with me," said Hatori. "You're injured. I need to clean out this wound," he continued, moving back her hair to reveal a cut, gushing blood, on her forehead.
Savannah wiped her head and looked at the blood. She then licked her hand, looking like a cat. Hatori stood speechless and Savannah stared at him. She tried to clear her throat again, although it was obvious it caused pain. Eventually she managed a scratchy, "I'm fine."
"Come anyway. Doctor's orders."
Shigure was still holding a screaming Akito as they stood up and left, followed by Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru. None of them looked shocked by Akito's behavior. The only sounds in the hallway were their footsteps and Savannah's shallow breathing, steadily slowing.
When they got back to Hatori's office, Savannah sat on the counter as he cleaned the wound. She winced when the soap first touched her skin, but then relaxed. Hatori wrapped a bandage around Savannah's head, tying it off in the back.
"I see your voice is coming back," he said. "Would you like some water and cough drops?"
Savannah nodded, wanting to talk, to scream, to make some sort of sound. Anything to protest being taken away from the fight. She had told herself that if she ever met Akito, even if he was an anime character, that she would beat him to a bloody pulp. For the horrible character he was, he would pay. But she took the cough drops and sucked on one and drank a cup of water. After a while of the Sohmas watching her, Kyo came out of his trail of thought.
"What is your name?" asked he, being blunt.
Savannah cleared her throat and answered, "Savannah." This stupefied Kyo, because it was a Hispanic name.
"Suh-vaa-nuh?"
She rolled her eyes. "Baka neko, don't you take classes for any other language?"
Yuki tried to hide a snicker as the strange girl insulted his rival. "No. And I don't want to," answered the cat.
"Rear! Cat fight!" said Shigure, trying to lessen the tension in the room.
"I wish I was a cat," Savannah answered as Kyo glared daggers at the dog.
"I would hurt you, normally, for saying a sexist remark, but it's not so sexist in this case. More like...species...ist."
Shigure laughed heartily, Tohru giggled, Yuki snickered again, and Hatori smiled at this remark. The corners of Kyo's mouth turned up a bit, but then quickly went back into the scowl for Shigure.
"Well since I've already pissed you off, this can't hurt," Savannah said as the Sohmas had a moment of confusion. But the moment didn't last long, as she jumped off the counter and hugged Kyo.

Sorry this took so long. I got banned from the computer. But don't worry, I'm back and better than ever, now.
