Akito sat on the couch, waiting for Devon to come. She was wearing her necklace that Devon had given her for Christmas. A knock on the door sounded.
“Come in,” She called. That had been a mistake.
A woman with long black hair walked in. “Ah, hello, darling daughter,” She said quietly, shutting the door behind her.
Akito jumped to her feet, glaring at the woman. “Leave, Mother,” She snarled.
“I don’t want to,” She said. “I don’t have to listen to you. I’m your mother. You should obey me.”
Then the necklace caught Ren’s eye as Akito tried to hide it.
She walked over to Akito and wrapped her fingers around part of the necklace.
“Oh, are you trying to play dress up?” She asked, a vicious snarl in her voice.
She pulled hard on the necklace.
Akito gasped, and though she tried to suppress it, whimpered as the necklace hit the back of her neck with a strong force.
“You are supposed to be a boy, Akito. Boys do not wear necklaces,” Ren scolded coolly.
She turned the necklace around so if she pulled on it, it would make Akito unable to breathe. And then she yanked hard.
Akito coughed and choked for air desperately, trying to hit her mother, who was just out of reach. She continued to choke pathetically.

Devon walked into the room. He gasped when he saw Ren.
He was choking Akito. Devon rushed over to Ren at almost an unhuman speed. He snarled and ripped Ren away from Akito in an instant.
He took Ren by the shoulders and yelled at her.
"What are you doing!?" He asked, his golden eyes wide.

Ren just smirked and laughed. Then she spoke. "She shouldn't be wearing that. You gave it to her, didn't you?"
Akito clutched her throat as the air rushed into her lungs. It hurt. She coughed violently.
"You put her in danger," She continued to Devon.

"No." Devon snapped. "You did. I wasn't the one strangling her." He hissed out. He let go of Ren and stepped over to Akito. He hugged her.
"Are you okay?" He asked softly, he looked at her throat, to see how badly it had been bruise.
He bit his lip and looked away. He was being tempted to bite Akito.

Akito nodded, not sure if she was able to speak.
Ren watched, then replied to what Devon had said. "You're the one who put the rope around her neck," she said icily, then turned and left.
As soon as Ren had shut the door, Akito started crying and wrapped her arms around Devon, her body shuddering violently as tears ran down her cheeks.
"Sh-she's so... cruel," She whimpered, trying to stop herself from crying as she buried her face in his shirt

Devon held his arms around Akito, and he stroked her hair gently.
"It's okay..." he said softly. "I know she's cruel..." Devon whispered to Akito.

Soon the shuddering became less violent. Akito just shook a bit now and then. She rubbed her neck and tried not to wince. It hurt.
"I can't believe she managed to touch this. Put disinfectant spray on it or something...." She was half joking, but also half serious.

Devon couldn't help but chuckle. He looked down at Akito.
"Is your neck okay now?" He asked

Akito nodded. "Yeah, I think so. I was kind of worried she'd break it... I mean, when she pulled on it from the front and just hurt the back of my neck... I didn't want my Christmas present to be broken," She smiled just a bit at him.

He smiled back at her.
"I could have bought you a new one." He said. "What I'm really worried about, is you." He said.

Akito grinned up at him. She had a red line (which she couldn't see) on her neck where the necklace had been pressed against her. Not that it was bleeding (XDDDD).
((Sorry, writer's block. xP))

Devon touched her neck gently.
"Should we have Hatori look at you neck?" He asked, concerned.

"Naah," Akito shook her head. "Not even bleeding. I'm fine," She said. "Maybe we could walk in the garden. Surprisingly enough, it's really not that cold out at all..." She murmered.
((It's been uncharacteristically warm up here where I live... for winter anyways... lol))

((Where I live, one day it will be warm, the next day will be bitter cold.))
"Alright." He said to Akito.

Akito took his stone-hard, ice-cold hand. She didn't mind the feel though.
"What part of the garden should we go to? There's a part farther off... the hills. I don't go there much, since it's so far... but we could always run there... well you run, I ride," She said with a smile.

Devon smiled at her. "What ever you want to do." He said.

"Okay. Hills then," Akito said with a smile. She opened the door and walked outside. She waited for him to come outside. Then she'd get on his back.

Devon followed Akito, then pulled her onto his back.
"Are you ready?" He asked, smiling at her.

"Mm-hm," Akito nodded, holding on tight, practically digging her nails into his chest. Probably a good thing it wouldn't hurt him. She was ready. He'd said it felt like sticking your head out an air plane window. So she didn't want to slip off. That would hurt...

Devon held onto on her her arms gently and smiled at her. Then, he took off running.
The trees were a blur, and it was amazing Devon wasn't hitting them.
