His lips was curled into a bitter smile as he absently played with his
bird, the only source of pleasure he allowed himself to keep.
It was winter.His favourite season, yet he knew it would not last, for when
snow melts, it would turn into spring.
How similar his empty life seemed to be like snow, everything he had ever
treasured in his life will soon fade, soon, he knew he would ceased to
exist too.
Why? Because he was Souma Akito, head and ruler of the Souma household. Not that he had any choice over that matter, for he rather wished that he was just an ordinary person, a person who could lead a carefree life and most of all, to love freely. But no, he could not, because he was bound to his accursed family. The curse of the jyunnishi, which goes from generations to generations where one could be turned into a animal of the jyunnishi whenever he/she is hugged by a member of the opposite sex. He hated them, because he was destined to die early and succumb to illness for their sake forever. But yet he could not deny the fact that he loved all of them too, taking it upon himself that it was his duty to protect them, for fear that someone would know about the far from perfect truth of the Soumas.
And now, there is Honda Tohru. She had discovered their secret. Does she thinks that she would be able to break their curse? Perharps he did relish on a small bit of hope that she would be able to break it, that's why he did not ask Hatori to erase her memories. But he could not suppress the thought of having a mere high school girl to free them instead of him.so he had used violence on her when she visited him.
Pain. Inflicting it on others to lessen the suffering of himself and to remind them that he was their ruler, and to cast fear in them. And he was looked upon as the epitome of beauty and cruelty. At least while he lived, he held power over them. And he seek comfort in that thought.
Without warning, his fingers closed in on the bird and it struggled to be freed from his grasp, letting it go only after a few moments, but yet it flew back stubbornly to his finger.
Suddenly, as he stood up, he felt weak in the knees and a wave of heat shot through his body. It must be the fever coming on again and he beckoned to one of servants to bring Hatori.
