((hehe did you get my sister's pm?))

Atsuko smiled sheepishly and rubbed up against Sakamae happily. She sighed loving the sound of his purring and the feel of him scratching her head. She sighed again and closed her eyes completely relaxed in his arms. "I'm so happy..." she whispered softly, releaved that he didn't find her moans weird. And a little sheepish about them apparently being cute.

Sakamae couldn't help but blush and tremble feeling Atsuko rub against him. Purring a bit louder, softly nuzzling her neck as he held her. "I'm happy as well" closing his eyes, his fingers lightly scratching her head as his other hand rubbed her back. In absolute bliss of the moment. The sound of Atsuko's soft moan still echoing in his mind.

Atsuko smiled and slowly felt herself relaxing so much that she felt slightly tired. His touch semed to drug her and make her happy. She then sighed and rested her head on his chest. It made her position a bit more comfortable. "I'm... Suddenly tired.." she whispered softly and then smiled gently and looked at him with all of her love. "I love you..." she whispered and kissed his cheek.
((I WANT YOUR MONEY! hehe jk jk I just kinda do. ^^ ))

Sakamae laid there, cradling Atsuko in his arms tenderly, it felt so relaxing. So perfect. He could lay like this for days and still be happy and content. His fingers lighlty stroking her hair feeling her rest her head upon his chest. Blushing since he knew his heart was beating so rapidly. Sakamae smiles softly looking down at her, "It's ok Atsuko.. You get some rest" His fingers slowly moving a strand of hair from her face, blushing upon the kiss, whispering in turn "And I love you"

Atsuko sighed and nodded. She then blushed as Sakamae brushed the hair from her face and settled herself comfortably against him. "Okay... You too.... And then maybe tommorrow we can have fun..." she whispered and gave a squeeky yawn. She then drifted off into the most amazing sleep of her life.

Sakamae smiled looking upon Atsuko's face. She looked so lovely, even when she was succumbed to sleep. "Ok Atsuko.. Tomorrow we can do whatever you want to" Sakamae blushed and smiled a bit more hearing Atsuko's squeeky yawn, wrapping his arms around her waist to cradle her closely against him. Watching her drift to sleep.. she looked like such an angel.. before slowly letting his eyes drift close, letting sleep take him

Atsuko smiled in her sleep adndreamt about being with Sakamae foirever. She dreamt about growing up and having her own smiling kids and being with Sakamae. It had to be the best dream in the world.

Sakamae clung to Atsuko as he slept. It was grand. It was like she sucked away all the bad dreams in his head. Leaving him in a slumber of bliss. His dreams revolving around Atsuko.. From simple acts like eating dinner together, to romantic dances. Sakamae was unable to keep from purring softly in his sleep

Atsuko awoke hearing a nock and did her best to move off of Sakamae as she went to get the door. She straightened herself a bit and then opened the door. "Michi?" she said surprised and then he smirked looking her over making her blush. "I see you're standing and healthy again... But I need to speak with you..." he said and she looked back at Sakamae. "okay..." she said and quickly wrote Sakamae a note before walking out of the room with Michi and to Michi's room, a bad feeling washing over her as she kept following him.

Sakamae's senses were slightly off ever since Atsuko began living with him. He was more relaxed and calm. Though even then, his senses could pick up things. Noticing the weight of Atsuko off him, Sakamae slowly fluttered open his eyes. Whispering with sleep "Atsuko?" Noticing Atsuko gone, his senses flared alive, suddenly shooting up from bed "Atsuko!" Looking about the room he noticed a note, realizing it was Atsuko's writing. Not bothering to put on a coat, Sakamae ran out of his room in search of Atsuko

Atsuko walked until she reached Michi's room and once inside she sat on the mat like she was told. Kneeling she put her hands together and bit her lip softly as Michi slowly locked the door and then walked towards her. Her heart began to beat faster wishing now that she hadn't left Sakamae's embrace. "I see you're well... The snake's healing must've done wonders." he said slowly his undertone scaring her. "Yes... Sakamae helped me soo much.." she whispered softly and then squeeked a he grabbed her wrist. She looked up at him and shook a little bit. Michi's eyes seeming to turn red. "Michi... That hurts..." she whimpered his grip on her tight. "You think you have the right to love someone?!" he demanded and she shook in fear her eyes wide. "I-I-" "No! You are mine! You are my bitch! You are my dog! How dare you think any different!" he snapped and slapped her across the face. She fell back shocked and shook in fear as she looked up at him. "I-I'm sorry!" she choked and he growled again. "I decide who you love! I decide what you do! Do you understand?!" he demanded and she nodded vigerously. "I don't think you fully do...." he whispered and grabbed her arm. "ow!" she cried and was dragged towards a room. He opened the door and her eyes grew in fear seeing how dark it was, she couldn't see anything. "No! NO!" she protested but he threw her in anyway. "I think you should stay in there and think about your horrid actions you little ungreatful bitch. " he snarrled and slammed and locked the door. Sobbing Atsuko shook and curled into a ball. Unable to fight her fear of the dark as she sobbed painfully. Her ribs hurting from Michi pulling on her arm.

(Wow.. Michi is evil.. like evil evil <.<... Love the avi.. no changing it)
Sakamae rushed out the wing of the house, remembering what the note said about Atsuko going to Michi's. Sakamae took a deep breath and rushed over to Michi's. Stopping and catching his breath, his lungs feeling like they were on fire. He enters Michi's house and calls out "Michi sir.. Is Atsuko here!"

((okay, and we had to have a bad guy. Same thing happens pretty much in fruits basket.))

A servant came out looking worried and shook her head. "Please be quiet... But master Michi had left on an arron.... He is in a terrible mood... The poor girl learned that..." she whispered and shook her head, swaring she could still hear the sounds of the poor girl's struggles and sobs.

Sakamae watched the servent come forth, tilting his head listening to her speak, noticing the shake of her head. He spoke softly yet commandedly "Where's Atsuko?" He knew she was somewhere here, he could smell her, sense her being. Tensing his muscles, every one of his senses on fire and fully alert.

The servant looked at him and then bit her lip. "I don't know who you are talking about.... But I will let you in... Just don't tell sir michi." she whisperer fearfully and opened the door.

Atsuko suddenly heard a noise and raised her head slowly. She saw glowing eyes, that of a snake and she shook in fear. Trying to stop her sobbing she shook and slowly backed away from the eyes. They moved back and forth slowly, like a snake ready to strike. She whimpered and curled up against the wall she hit. "Someone.... Help..." she sobbed knowing this was the end

The servant looked at him and then bit her lip. "I don't know who you are talking about.... But I will let you in... Just don't tell sir michi." she whisperer fearfully and opened the door.

Atsuko suddenly heard a noise and raised her head slowly. She saw glowing eyes, that of a snake and she shook in fear. Trying to stop her sobbing she shook and slowly backed away from the eyes. They moved back and forth slowly, like a snake ready to strike. She whimpered and curled up against the wall she hit. "Someone.... Help..." she sobbed knowing this was the end

Sakamae looked at the servant with a gaze as cold as ice. "Good" He walked past the servant, keeping his word and keeping his voice down. Letting his inner senses take over, guiding him. Smelling the air, following Atsuko's scent. Sensing the slight chemical variations in the air. Letting his ears open, he heard a faint sound. Whispering to himself "Atsuko"

Sakamae let his inner snake take charge, moving swiftly through the hall. Barging into a room and looking around. His eyes moving quickly yet taking in every detail. Noticing a slight alteration of the colour on the wall, he noticed a door nearly hidden against the side wall. Rushing to it and slamming his shoulder against it to force it open a bit. Pure darkness awaiting him. "Atsuko!"

Atsuko jumped in fear and looked up seeing the small bit of light. "Sakamae..." she choked as she shook in fear. The snake was so close to her now.... "Please help...." she choked and then gave a scream as it bit her. She tried to shake it off of her and she felt it bite down harder. "Get it off!" she screamed painfully and sobbed as she collapsed against the wall unable to stop the pain ofthe fangs in her arm.

Sakamae's eyes quickly adjusted to the light, even though his senses were too alert to need them. "Atsuko" Noticing the snake, Sakamae's eyes blazed. His hand moving out quickly, grabbing the snake just below the head. Applying pressure, forcing it's mouth to open wider in order to release it's hold on Atsuko. Without a second thought, tossing the snake behind him across the room. Moving to wrap his arms around Atsuko "Atsuko!! Are you ok?"

Atsuko cried out in pain as the snake's fangs released their grip on her and she watched as Sakamae tossed it away. She then grabbe his shirt with her good arms and burried her face against him. She sobbed and shook as she did, feelin the horrible pain of the bite, and Michi's treatment. "Im sorry..." she choked and looked up at him, barely able to make his outline out. She then practically collapsed against him and shuddered, crying softly, this darkness becoming her living hell.

"Sssh it's ok Atsuko" Sakamae wraps his arms around Atsuko, holding her close "Your safe now" He pulls back slightly, ripping off the sleeve of his shirt and wrapping it around the bite wound on Atsuko's arm. "Don't worry, the snake wasn't poisonous. So you don't have to worry about any venom" Feeling her collapse against him, Sakamae picks her up, holding her in his arms "Let's get home" Sakamae marches his way out of the mansion, towards his and Atsuko's room. The look of death in his eyes, ready to strike at anyone who stands in his way

Atsuko held onto Sakamae ad tightly as she could as she was carrier away. She never wanted to leave Sakamae again and once in their home, room, she relaxed a little bit. "Thank yiu...." she whispered softly ad then nuzzled him a bit unable to move really without pain. "I never want to be without you.... I love you..." she whispered softly and burried her face into his Hirt.

Sakamae gently laid Atsuko down onto their bed. Pulling the silken sheets up to cover her up and warm her up. He shakes his head softly, looking at her and smiling softly "No need to thank me Atsuko.. I shall protect you til my last breath" He slowly moves a hand to stroke her cheek. Blushing upon hearing her "And I never want to be without you.. So never leave like that again. Ok" Sakamae moved his hand to softly stroke Atsuko's hair as she buried her face against him "I love you too Atsuko"

Atsuko nodded slowly and blushed slightly. Though she was scared. What happened if she found that Michi knew who resqued her? He would hurt her... And even worse... Hurt Sakamae... She then slowly looked up at Sakamae and flinched in pain a bit at the action. Her cheek was bruising where Michi slapped her, as well as her side that she had landed on twice. "My side..." atsuko whimpered painfully and put he'd hands on her side.

Sakamae gently stroked Atsuko's hair "Sssh, it's ok Atsuko.. Your safe now" Seeing Atsuko flinch, Sakamae pulled back slightly, his gaze moving down to her side upon hearing her.. His eyes flashing momentarily before getting up "Wait one moment Atsuko" Sakamae goes to his closet, pulling out his extensive supply of medical first air

Atsuko whimpered in pain as Sakamae walked away and moved to remove her dress. It was hurting he so much. She then slowly began undoing the small hidden clasps gasping softly at the pain in her arm. "Sakamae.... Can you help me?.... I need it off..." she whispered and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
