The Fox and the Raven

Please Don't Follow Me

"Akimi. I need to talk to you about something important."

Toshio's words sounded like arrows. Akimi turned around from the kitchen counter and faced him. He was trying not to cry.

"What's going on, Karasu? Why are you crying!?" Akimi asked in a worried tone. He hastily clicked the stove off and rushed towards Toshio in the barstool who had been watching him cook.

"Talk to me..." Akimi said calmly. He brushed the raven's hair from his eyes and sat on his lap. Toshio held him with trembling hands.

"I have to go back to Russia today. There are things there that need to be tied off." Toshio said, turning his face away from Akimi and actually starting to cry. He looks frustrated and terrified.

Akimi's eyes widened. He lifted Toshio's head up to face him again, wrapping his legs around the raven's waist.

"I will go with you." Akimi said with a promising voice.

Toshio's expression turned to panic.

"No! No, you can't go! You can't, Kitsune! Its too dangerous!"

Toshio was holding Akimi's waist so tightly it made him whimper a little bit. Toshio let go completely in an instant only holding his hands.

"Im sorry. Forgive me..." He whispered, kissing Akimi's palms.

"It's alright. But you shouldn't waste your breathe trying to convince me not to go. I will not let you go alone." Akimi said seriously.

"I will not allow you to accompany me. I won't risk you getting hurt." Toshio said with fierce eyes.

"I would like to see you try and stop me. Eat your breakfast あなたが頑固な過剰摂取で死ぬ前に..。(Before you die of a stubborness overdose...)" Akimi said rolling his eyes and leaving Toshio's lap.

Toshio looked serious and remained silent for the next few hours after he ate breakfast. Akimi knew some thing was going on.

Akimi went into the bedroom as it started to get dark. When he entered the room it was pitch black and sounded empty. They always kept a light on in this room.

"くそ！(Dammit!)" Akimi screamed in frustration.

He felt a familiar set of hands tie his together, tightly. Then a gag was placed in his mouth. His feet were also tied and he was placed onto the bed and chained to the headboard.

Akimi was pissed. He struggled in the bounds but they were done professionally and didn't budge at all. He bit the gag so hard it broke in two and he spit it out. White strands of long hair hung over his face a bit.

"くそー、愚かなカラス！(Damn stupid raven!!!) YOU ARE SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS!!!" Akimi screamed after spitting the gag out. He struggled.

Toshio tried to kiss him gently and Akimi tried to bite him. Toshio sighed.

"Im sorry, Kitsune. I can't let you get hurt..." He said with a tear running down his cheek.

He left the room with a suitcase.

"I will be back in a week. I love you." Toshio said, kissing Nao and ordering her to stay with Akimi. She whined.

Akimi heard Toshio's car leave the front entrance and he screamed at the top of his lungs. Fujiwara wasn't there. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't let him go alone. He couldn't.

Akimi threw himself half way off the bed so his legs stayed on the mattress and his head hit the ground. He arched his back as much as possible so he could reach underneath the mattress and to his knives. When he managed to grab one, he whipped his legs up over his head and landed cleanly on the balls of his feet beside the bed, flipping his hair back. He cut the rope around his wrists and then his feet.
