What was Decided

The day he was born he was told to die. Akito, head of of the Sohma house, alone bearing the full weight of the Zodiac curse. Solely responsible for the twelve cursed Sohma family members, the man who lives a plagued life. A life full of darkness, fears, illness, and eventually even death before his time. This is the curse and Akito holds the core.

His past, present, and future, all there is ... is darkness, the dismal cloud that looms over Akito's cursed half life. All light, all hope for happiness all sucked away leaving only a giant black void that used to be a heart. Feelings gone, hidden away, never to be found. Smiles lost, never to be seen again. Hopes crushed until nothing is left... only the curse that binds without chance of freedom. That is what was decided.

Condemned before a chance of life. A failing body left without a soul. A heart blackened by a consuming hatred, blackened by the curse. So all Akito can do is watch life go by, as he watches his zodiac children. And like any good sheppard, he won't let them be lead astray. They are his and his alone, like the zodiac curse alone for him to bear. He won't let them forget it. The Zodiac members won't leave, they can't leave, that is what Akito decided.

Why shouldn't he decide fate without permission? After all his own fate was predetermined without his permission. So the Zodiac children can never leave, they would suffer, as he always suffers all alone trapped in the darkness tormented by the endless night. Hatori, he tried to leave. All for a useless woman, so Akito took his eye. Hatori's lucky he has another. Yuki tried to leave his control too, the stubborn child who just wouldn't listen. He had to be taught a lesson, so Akito took from him his mind. Hiro, a child who thought he could be happier then all the rest. Why should he have happiness when his God has to die? Left with no choice, Akito crushed the boy's little heart. Kyo, the disgusting disgrace to the Sohma family name. What a hideous creature, he should be punished, so Akito took away his place within the family. Maybe it's not so bad deciding fate after all, now they can all feel the pain he feels, because that is the Sohma curse... to be alone.

Born and told to die, the inescapable fate of the Sohma head. All alone in a useless weak shell of a body. His soul taken, his heart killed, all for the sake of the twelve vengeful Zodiac spirits. So they deserve this pain, the children of the Zodiac deserve to suffer as long as their God lives on this earth... because Akito can't live... That is what was decided.
