"Who are you?" Kyo suddenly heard a voice, stilling him in his place and turn around. He saw a small, three-year-old boy looking at him curiously. Suddenly, the boy's eyes widened, becoming as bright as diamonds. "Uncle Kyo? You're uncle Kyo, aren't you?" The little boy exclaimed happily. "To-san! Ka-san! Look! The uncle Kyo you keep talking about is here!" The little boy said, making Kyo shiver slightly.
The next moment, Shigure and Rin came running towards Kyo, shock written all over their face. "Sweetie, I-I'll come back soon, okay?" Kyo stuttered as he tried to run away. However, Shiki pouted and quickly hugged his leg, unwilling to let him go. "Uncle! Please don't leave Shiki again! Papa and mama always talk about you. Why did you leave just before I was born uncle? Why didn't you come back? Do you hate me?" Shiki asked with tears in his eyes, ready to bawl them out any minute.
Kyo's heart broke seeing Shiki's tears. In his whole life, there were only three people he deeply cared for, and was fiercely protective of: one was his late wife, the other his unborn child, and the last was his Shiki. Out of the three, he already lost two. And so, Kyo vowed in his heart, after everything was over, he would help Shigure raise Shiki to be a wonderful man, and give him the life neither he, nor his unborn child could have.
"Shiki dear, don't worry. Your uncle came back to me and you. And he won't leave again." Hearing that voice, Kyo looked up, feeling terrified. Just as he had expected, Akito stood in front of him, smirking evilly.
Kyo turned around and tried to run away, when his way got blocked by two bulky men. He was trapped. "Yay! Uncle Kyo will stay with us!" Shiki said happily as he hugged Kyo's legs. "Shiki dear, go now, your uncle Kyo is tired. Let him rest. He'll play with you later." Akito said as she looked at Rin from the corner of her eye.
Rin continued staring at Kyo in shock, before she saw Akito gesturing her. And so, she sighed and walked forward to pull Shiki away from Kyo. Akito saw her parent's dead bodies come out of the master bedroom. She smirked. "Good riddance. Sohma estate owner's parents killed by enemies will earn me a lot of sympathy. Today is a very auspicious day. I got rid of two burdens and my kitten came back as well. It calls for a celebration. Bring him back to my room."
The two guards pushed Kyo forward. He was about to fight when a voice suddenly interrupted. "Excuse me." It was none other than Inspector Takei. "We got a call here reporting a crime. We came to inves-" He spoke but stopped abruptly when he noticed Kyo. "You?! Here!" Inspector Takei exclaimed as he pointed at Kyo.
"Aren't you the one who escaped from the hospital in Kyushu less than a month ago?! Officers, take him into custody!"
Akito was furious. Who dared to call the police here?! She was just about to get her kitten back under her. But then this bastard interfered. She wanted to shoot inspector Takei. However, she knew better than to act reckless with the law enforcers. And so, she decided to take care of it later with her contacts.
The police took away the dead bodies of Ren and Akira Sohma and took Kyo into custody. Someone watched everything from the first floor in his room and smiled in relief. 'Thank god, he'll be alright for now.' He thought.
Earlier, when Shiki called Kyo, three people heard it. Akito, Shigure and Rin. Akito immediately ordered her guards to capture Kyo, while Shigure and Rin acted fast to save Kyo. Rin called the police from the house landline, while Shigure informed Inspector Takei.
                                                               ****************
Officer Takei wanted to gather as much information as possible about the escaped victim from the hospital, ever since he escaped, because the murders that happened soon after seemed deeper than it looked like.
