Why hadn't anyone ever called the police to report Akito? This question seemed to have gone through every jyuushi's mind sometime or another. Even if they weren't the one who had angered Akito, they still mourned over the injuries of their friends and family members. They all wanted to grab a phone and have someone come and save them.
But the curse held them back. Hatsuharu said it was almost like being bipolar. Wanting yet not wanting, loving yet hating. But in reality the curse ran deeper than that, than being "bipolar". It made them think of Akito every second of the day, no madder want the circumstance was. It made them want to constantly be with the person that so brutally injures them. It made them want to tell him everything, for him to know everything. And sadly that was just what Hiro did.
He hadn't been planning to tell him. He had just been called in by Akito. Akito started asking questions, about his life, about school. Till, he finally asked him the one question that would ruin everything. The question that sealed her fate.
"What do you think of Kisa? Why do you play with that witch?"
Hiro paled. He knew that if he revealed what Kisa meant to him he could end up like Rin or Hatori or even worse.
Hiro prepared a lie in his head. "It's because she is the only person close to my age that won't trigger the curse." It was a perfect lie. And in many ways it was true. Well to some extent anyways. It was the truth but only half of it.
He opened his mouth to tell Akito his perfectly thought out lie. But once he closed it he realized that his voice had betrayed him.
Akito's lip curled upwards in disgust; Hiro could have cried. He waited for the hit. The smack, the kick, anything to confirm that Akito was angry with him. That he would receive punishment for his wrong doings. He lowered his head in preparation. But he felt nothing.
Akito's head was turned and his finger was pointed towards the door. Hiro bowed and turned away. As he left the room he wondered what awaited him.
As he stood in front of the hospital room that the nurse told him Kisa was located in, he asked himself why. Why did he have to tell the truth? Why didn't anyone ever report Akito? Why didn't they ever ask questions? Why did Akito always get away with this? And why did he still love Akito? Why was he cursed?
A/N: I haven't written anything for Fruits Basket in a while since I have been so hung up on Fullmetal Alchemist. And I had written this fic a long time ago, and it's just been sitting in my notebook untouched and forgotten I figured it was due time to put something that wasn't FMA up. Hope you enjoyed it!
