Allowing

Bruise

(yuri's p.o.v)

Natsuki nods as an answer to my last question . "where ?" i ask gently , she points to he ribs and stomach then her leg. 'oh natsuki who would do this to you ' i first bandage her leg it was pretty swollen. "Natsuki . U-um yo-you'll n-n-need to remove y-your s-s-shirt ." I say as I play with my hair and look away blushing. She blushes too but proceeds to take off her blazer then her vest the She unbuttoned a bit of her shirt so I could see were exactly I should place the ice and medicine. There was one huge bruise on her rib and bruises scattered around her stomach I noticed some on her neck leading to her chest. "Nat please tell me who's doing these to you ? I just want to help but I don't know how please." I beg her . She looks away.

" it was ....." she takes a shaky breath the continues " it was my papa" I start to remember all the things Nat said when she was late like' he'll kill me' or 'I'm so dead crap he'll never forgive me' I also remembered when I picked her up bridal style and how light she was. I quickly looked at her stomach damyou could see her ribs. That's not good. "Nat when was the last time you ate?" I ask fear creeping up in my voice . She looks at me then at the ground ," 2 weeks ago " she answered hesitantly. I start to wrap the bandages around the girls torso. I stoped mid way and gave her a gentle hug so I don't hurt her.

"Yuri I'm sorry for bothering you t 4 in the morning. And for wasting your bandages and time . " Natsuki says as She cries into my shoulder. I run my finger through her hair and I hear a slight purr but shrug it off. Thinking it was of my imagination. I look over my shoulder to see that Natsuki has fallen asleep I gently pick her up and take her to my room. I place her down in my room I pull the covers over her and I look at her. I look at the calendar then at Nat "Nat . Nat . Nat. School is closed today good thing I got you before you arrived to the school." I start to run my fingers through her hair. Then in a small flash of pink light two cat ears sprouted from her head.

I looked at Nat . Should I wake her. Nah she's been through a lot today. I stand up and walk over to my favorite cabinet. In that cabinet is where I keep my stash of favorite knifes . I pick up a nice dark blue knife that looks like a bat but with a click of a button can turn into a double blade knife. I walk over to the bathroom. I look the door .

I contemplated if I should cut with Nat in the other room. I just keep the knife open and then I look at the door to make sure she ain't coming then I inch my knife closer and closer.

I quickly run over to the sink and start putting water on the 5 new cuts along with my old healing ones. I can't help I pull my knife out again and begin to cut again.

I put my knife away and go over to Natsuki who still in bed sleeping. She suddenly starts to steer in her sleep and tears run down her cheeks. "N-no please p-pa-papa. No don't hurt her please just hurt me." Natsuki says and she sets up as she finishes her last sentence. She looks around then at me. She quickly as ever gave me a hug. "Hey Nat are you ok?" I ask with a soft voice "night- nightmare ." She said with a shaky voice. I start to pet her. Hey Nat I got a question?" I say she looks at me concern spreading over her face like a wild fire. "Why do cat ears and a tail appear after a pink light?" I ask she quickly ran over to my bathroom.
'Crap the blood on the counter!' I scream in my head. She walks out looking at me with a face full of fear and concern.

"Yuri could you explain why there is blood on the sink counter?" She says concern laced with her words. I look down. " how about I explain the blood of you explain the ears please." I say shyly and scared.
