"She's gone, Yuki."
The young man could only stare blankly at the former dragon.
"She passed away this morning."
He rose from his seat. "What are you talking about, Hatori? Her health has been increasing since after the curse broke."
The elder placed a hand on the sliverette escorting him back to the plush office chair.
"Yuki, there was an accident. Her and Shigure were on their way back to his place and Shigure had drank too much…He hadn't seen the other car and-"
Yuki had heard enough. He could feel his breathing pick up and collapsed to the tile floor.
"Yuki!" Hatori hastily reached over to the younger male. "Yuki calm down! Your asthma is acting up!"
He heard nothing. The world was silent. He could sense the rise and fall of his chest, he could see the concern look in his doctor's eye, but he heard nothing.
She can't be gone.
The statement reverberated over and over his thoughts.
She can't be gone. She's Akito. Akito couldn't be gone.
She can't…
He wasn't aware of the days passing by. He remembered Tohru and Kyo coming over his apartment. Tohru held her usually gentle smile, trying to his ease him with her kind words.
Still, it was quiet.
Kyo gripped his wife's shoulder upon seeing Yuki's nonresponsive. Her eyes sadden. She embraced her friend and followed after her husband towards the door. Kyo began blabbering about being careful or she could damage the babe.
Looking closer, Yuki could see the weight Tohru had gain after being six months pregnant.
He smirked. Yuki remembered when Akito learned of Tohru's pregnancy. She had threw a fit about the dreadful girl and the monster baring a child. After a week she allowed the two to be married.
"I'm approving of this marriage, simply to save the Sohma's name from being ridicule."
Yuki savored the memory of her velvet voice. It could be tender, it could be cruel. But it would always be Akito's voice.
More days past.
Haru had come over. His lips mouthed words, but Yuki still heard nothing. The former ox shook his head and pulled Yuki into the bathroom
Yuki couldn't remember his last shower. He must have reeked. Haru held such a disgusted expression. Haru stripped him of his clothes and lowered him to the bathtub. The younger male scrubbed ever part of the former rat's body. After shampooing Yuki's soft sliver hair, he pulled him out and covered him with a towel. He held Yuki's impassive gaze for what seemed like hours before throwing his arms around his precious cousin.
He quivered. Yuki could feel the hot tears meet his exposed shoulders. When Haru finally composed himself he lured Yuki into the bedroom.
Rin was outstretched on the bed holding a black suit and slacks. She rose upon seeing the males enter and laid the clothing on the bed. Yuki noted she wore a jet black dress that stopped upon her ankles. The dress was tightly pressed against her body and reveled her cleavage. Her hair was delicately tied into a bun. She gently laid a kiss on Haru's cheek and exited the room.
Haru selected the clothing and began dressing his cousin. Once finished he brushed Yuki's bangs back and clipped them, revealing his forehead.
After his coat was placed on him, Yuki realized he was he was outside beside a cherry blossom tree. There was a rectangular hole located in the ground. Everyone was wearing black. Haru stood beside him with his arms around Rin.
Yuki eyes shot up seeing a casket slowly summit to the rectangular hole. Everyone drew tears, but…
Yuki heard nothing.
Next, he found himself in a room.
Everyone was chatting. When others came up to him he simply nodded. All he did was observe.
Haru and Rin clung together as they held a conversation with Tohru and Kyo. Hatsuharu stroke Tohru's belly and must have said something funny because they all burst into laughter.
Kisa and Hiro were sitting in the corner of the room drinking some sort of liquid. Undoubtedly juice. Momji sprang over towards the two with an excitable tale. Kisa giggled as Hiro rolled his eyes.
Ritsu had bumped into Kagura and burst into one of his apology fits. Kagura could simply smile and try to calm the former monkey.
Yuki scan the room. Everyone held some sort of smile. While his lips were tightly shut into a thin line.
Yuki turned to the left side of the room. His brother's outfit practical screamed for attention. Hatori stood next to Kureno listening to the former snake's dramatic story. And next to him was…
Yuki eyes widen. He began crossing over to the other side of the room. Pushing those aside who laid in his way. He felt the hand of Haru on is arm, but shrugged him off. Tohru held a concern expression as Kyo began yelling. Everything was silent. All eyes turned towards him.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ayame felt the presents of another and swung to see his younger brother.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yuki didn't acknowledge him as he made way to his destination.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Finally he was faced with the one he sought.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
And after weeks of silence…
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
He heard the yelp of Akito's former lover.
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
"YUKI! GET OFF HIM!"
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
"YUKI STOP THIS MADNESS!"
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
"YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!"
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Finally Hatori and Ayame hauled the younger male of their cousin.
"SHE'S GONE! IT'S YOUR FAULT! YOU FILTHY MUTT!"
Yuki's cry echoed through the room. He swung his bloody knuckles around attempting to harm the writer once again.
"Get him out of here!" Hatori threw Yuki into the arms of Hatsuharu. Haru nodded and lugged the male out with the help of Kyo. Tohru burst into tears.
"Yuki."
Yuki was sprawled on his bed as he stared at his two cousins with a deadly glare.
"You could have killed him, Yuki." Haru yelled as Kyo glared back.
"She gone." Yuki muttered to himself.
"That doesn't give you the excuse for your behavior tonight!"
Yuki shook his head and clutched his thin fingers into his hair. Drawing blood, the way Akito used to.
"She's gone!"
He curled himself into a ball, like the times he was thrown into his special room.
"She's gone!"
Silence
It might have been hours since the other males left. Yuki stayed in his position. Relishing the pain he brought fourth.
The next day drew near and Yuki couldn't bring himself to rest. He rose from his bed and stumbled towards Machi's secret cover. She would be gone for another week. She wouldn't notice if one of them was missing.
He open the cover and withdrew his prize.
"This will do."
Yuki could feel his hair was dried up with blood but he didn't care. The smell brought back memories.
He sprung himself back onto the bed knocking over some of the cushions. He eyed the bottle in his hand and smirked.
"This should be strong enough."
Yuki didn't put down the alcohol until the bottle was completely empty. Finally he felt his eye lids press down and drifted off to sleep feeling numb.
You're gone and I gotta stay
Authors Note: Okay so this idea came from listening to the Tove Lo's song "Habits". After watching the music video I was very disappointed because it had possibilities of telling a great and tragic story. So after the radios continence of playing the song I pictured Yuki mourning of Akito's death. (It's kind of ironic because if you know me personally I dislike reading my lovely Akito dying or being dead. But I planned for this to end differently than other stories like this) And thus this was born! I don't think the first chapter was written that well, but I did what I could to make it better.
Okay so the timeline takes place after the manga. But unlike the manga, Akito and Tohru never became "friends". Let's say Akito simply tolerated the girl. This is for personal reasons. A.K.A I don't like the idea of them being friends.
Also I do not drink or do drugs so I will simply describe the characters doing it how I've read and seen others exploiting the contents. But if what I write is way off please inform me. It would really help! (^-^)/
For those who are reading my other story "The Genetic Opera", I have not stopped writing it but because of my lack of internet connection and the increase school work it's very difficult to update. But I will be juggling both of these Yukito fics and try to update the most favored one more. Be on the lookout for TGO's chapter two: Gold.
Write now Enjoy!
