--------------------------------------------
It was funny…
It was great…
It was the most delightful thing ever…
For Akito this was his reward…this was the ideal day…this is what he had longed for all his life…it was perfect.
--------------------------------------------
As soon as they were out of sight Akito began to chuckle lightly, his hold never slipping from the boy he was holding.
"Stupid dragon he never learns…" Akito murmured between giggles as he kept walking. The boy he was pulling along finally seemed to snap out of it and turned to look at him alarmed.
"oh well…with time he'll learn" Akito shook his head, a few drops of water falling on his shoulders as he did so.
"You…aren't going to harm him, are you?" Kyo's voice stopped the other in surprise, as he pulled his tanned hand away from the other boy's grasp. Akito turned to look at him confused. Uncertainty written all over his face, he just stared for a moment before reaching out for the other boy's hand. Kyo watched this movement a pulled away.
"What does it matter" Akito answered coldly as he stared at the boys' hand longingly and tried to grab it again. Kyo steeped away from the grasp once again, glaring at his god.
"It matters" Kyo said stupidly, he couldn't think of anything smarter to say. His head was busy finally analyzing his situation.
"How so?" Akito murmured narrowing his eyes, he steeped closer to the boy looking menacing.
"I don't want him getting hurt" Kyo answered a bit of courage finally returning to his voice. He watched Akito's eyes widen for a second before a hurt look crossed the older boys' face.
"What…what do you mean?" Akito whispered as he steeped even closer.
Kyo didn't notice thought, he was getting ready to run. It was the most reasonable answer his brain had finally come up with. After all, Kyo reasoned, Akito couldn't possibly run that fast. The fact that the god was wearing a kimono, he was sickly, he was standing under the rain, and he hardly ever walked, made it impossible for him to be fast.
He could never catch up to kyo! Ever! And Kyo was overjoyed to have finally found his way out.
Poor Kyo…
He forgot one thing…
Akito was a god…
His god…
And a god gets everything his way…
--------------------------------------------------
As soon as he closed his door, it fell on him.
Heavy and evil, it made him want to choke and collapse. Hatori felt a sudden dread as the past came back to haunt him. He feared for his life…but most importantly, Kyo's life.
Akito had found Kyo and for the first time in years he hadn't ragged, screamed and sent the boy away. It had been worse than that; the god had that crazed glint in his eyes Hatori hadn't seen in a long time. And he had taken Kyo with him.
'What does Akito want…he can't possibly still love him…what is he going to do?' Hatori thought desperately as he looked out the window 'what am I doing? I'm not helping Kyo just standing here! Damn why do I have to care…why do I always care!'
Hatori's thoughts were painful…but there was one in particular he hated most.
'Kyo…what if he remembers'
------------------------------------------------
'Ok…get ready…at the count of three' Kyo's mind was formulating his "brilliant" plan of escape 'just run as fast as you can…he'll never catch up! It impossible! (grin)'
Akito watched with hurt interest as the boy's stance seemed to slightly change; as if to run away (the redhead wasn't very subtle).
'Ok…one..two..thre'
"If you come with me I promise nothing will happen to him"
Kyo froze as Akito's smooth voice cut through his thoughts.
"what?" He asked incredulous and the head smiled sweetly steeping painfully close.
"Kyo… every time, I try to get close. There's someone in the way. I don't understand" Akitos' voice dropped and the redhead felt a shiver run down his spine, suddenly the god's arms were wrapped around his neck. "But I won't mess up this time! I promise! This time I won't drive you away! I'll give you a chance!"
Kyo was shocked… He just stood there open mouthed. What else could he do? He just stood there confused. What was Akito talking about? Was it good for him or not? Who was he talking about? Did it matter?
"If I don't hurt him…you'll be happy right? And you'll come with me; the dragon will be fine…just as long as you come"
This was pure bliss for Akito. Even if his heavy clothes bothered him, even if the rain pelted down on him and he was muddy, he was close to Kyo. He was hugging him and feeling the boy's warmth again.
How did it happen?
How did the boy make him feel all warm and better, he didn't know. All he knew was that if he was close to the redhead he would live forever.
"What happens if I don't?" Kyo's trembling voice cut Akito's happy thoughts. He thought for a second. If Kyo didn't come…the thought seemed all too frightening for Akito. To be cold again seemed like a horrid idea. Torture all over again.
"Do you really want to find out?" Akito whispered in one of the boy's ears.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Hari! Hatori! Stop!" The loud obnoxious sound of Ayame's voice went unheard as said albino ran after the doctor. Hatori simply looked around desperately searching for any trace of orange among the brown mud and wet green of the sohma gardens.
"Arght! Which way did they go!" The doctor screamed as he walked randomly down a path. Ayame followed close behind.
"Hatori I need to talk to you! Would you please listen?"
The doctor didn't stop. He kept on walking.
"Ayame which way did they go!"
The albino then stopped and looked down. His face saddened as he stared at the rarely frantic dragon. With disappointment in his voice he gently whispered:
"You really do like him don't you?"
This time Hatori did stop and turn to look at the snake confused.
"who?"
"Kyo"
Hatori's eyes widened and for 'some reason unknown to him' he blushed.
"I was never one to judge and he's family, plus I'm a doc…"
"I don't mean family kind of like! I mean the other kind! The way I like you! The way you once liked Kana!" Ayame's shouts rose as he spoke and Hatori just stared at him with an open mouth.
"Aya don't be stupid of course I don't…"
"Don't lie. I can see it, so could Shigure"
Hatori didn't answer to that. Both men just looked at their feet, uncomfortable silence settling between them.
"He's still a child" Ayame whispered and Hatori looked at him with a weird expression. They locked eyes for a moment before the dragon's green ones lit with anger and annoyance.
"I don't like him that way Ayame. He's just my patient and I'm responsible for him." Hatori mumbled, turned and trotted away.
Ayame watched as his friend ran of with a sad expression.
He just stood there for a while before smiling lightly.
"That's being way too naïve…especially for someone like you Hatori"
------------------------------------------------------
"We're almost there!" Akito's voice said brightly as he practically trotted down a random direction, or so Kyo thought.
"yay…" Kyo sarcastically mumbled and the other boy turned to look at him with a smile. They keep walking for about fifteen minutes or so before Akito stopped, Kyo looked up and almost died on the spot.
Right in front of him was a small hut. Surrounded by tall trees, weeds, and all sorts of weird vegetation. Old, lonely and tattered there it stood looking exactly like:
"The cat house" Kyo whimpered as he sank to his knees, his stomach making a lot of weird flips. His face as pale as a ghost, he looked at the old building wide eyed.
Fear clear in his red irises.
Akito looked at the boy confused for a second before chuckling lightly and covering his mouth.
"No silly! This isn't the cat house! Come I just want you to look at it!" Akito said with as smile as he pulled the pale red head into the house.
Once inside, the building looked even more horrid than before. Really wet, disgusting, dirty and tattering; terrified Kyo noticed its windows were barred. The red head turned to his god who was standing next to the door observing him with a smile.
"YOU BROUGHT ME TO THE CAT HOUSE!" Kyo screamed with fury as he ran for the door. He felt his feet like jelly as he reached for the door, his head screaming at him for being foolish; he was almost there when the door was closed in his face, he crashed against it and fell back with a yelp.
'No no no no!"
The boy laid on the ground, his breathing laboured, tears streaming down his face. He looked towards one of the barred windows and noticed his god staring at him. Kyo quickly got up and headed towards him.
"OUR DEAL ISN'T OVERDUE! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE CAT HOUSE YET!"
"Kyo, this isn't the cat house. This is our home" Akito mumbled and stepped back as the cat tried to snatch him through the bars. The god felt his heart break as the boy inside began to sob hard, his tanned hands reaching out.
Never less Akito softly began to walk away.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! AKITO PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME LOCKED IN HERE! PLEASE!"
"I'm sorry I had to bring you here Kyo. But I won't take anymore chances. Last time they managed to take you away, I won't let them do it again. Even if I have to hide you. Don't worry I'll come back tonight."
With that said the god sadly walked away. For the world he wanted to stay. But he had to be agile and make sure they didn't find out where his kitten was.
He had to keep Kyo close enough, yet distance himself just a bit.
Yes…he had to be smart.
It wasn't going to happen again.
They won't take him away.
-----------------------------------------------------
The first plea…
"AKITO! NOOO! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!PLEASE!"
The second…
"IT ISN'T TIME YET! YOU PROMISED UNTIL I GRADUATED!"
More sobs and the third…
¨Hatori…please come. Please come and help me"
------------------------------------------------------
New years…
Before the main feast…
Before most of the cruelty began…
The three teenagers sat on the porch and watched as the younger zodiacs played merrily on the yard. They chased each other back and forward screaming silly things to each other.
"Come on Kagura catch me!" A young Hatsaharu yelled with a smirk.
"I would if you stopped running in zig zags!" a young boar screamed angrily as she tried to catch the little blond boy next to her, who easily dogged her.
"Hahaha! Poor Kagura! They are taking advantage of her!" Shigure snickered as the boar tried to catch Ritsu this time.
"Hehe my dear gure! We should help the young princess in need!" Ayame said dramatically.
"Yes! Like the fine gentlemen we are" Shigure added as he got up and stretched a little "we shall conquer the little ones with our speed and agility!"
"Hai hai!" both friends jumped from the porch and expected the third to do the same.
But instead of jumping off, said teen just stared of, ignoring his friends.
"Hari! Aren't you coming with us?" Ayame whined as he once again climbed on the porch.
His friend didn't listen he just stared strait ahead
"What are you looking at?" Ayame mumbled as he directed his gaze towards the direction of his friend's.
"My my! Hatori you been staring at little Kyon for some time!" Shigure said with a smile, as he too followed his friend's gaze towards the little orange haired boy who was currently running as fast as his little legs could take him.
Hatori finally stopped looking at the little boy and scoffed.
"So?" He mumbled and turned away.
"jejeje looks like Hari likes them younger!" Shigure keep taunting as the dragon blushed. The dog snickered as he watched his friend's colour change.
"OH Hari! You do! But I thought you liked me!" Ayame joined in the fun.
"STOP IT YOU TWO! STOP ACTING SILLY!" Hatori said with a scowl.
"Oh my dear Ayame don't worry even if Hatori denies your love I will always love you!" Shigure said as he held his friends hand. Both boys began to laugh as the dragon angrily stood and walked away.
"STILL SHIGURE! SOMEONE SHOULD TELL KYO HOW LUCKY HE IS!" Ayame said loud enough for the dragon to hear.
"DEFENETLY MY DEAR! HE HOLDS HATORI'S HEART! WITHOUT DOUBT HE SHOULD KNOW!"
"LUCKY LUCKY KYO! KYON-KICHI!"
