I'd Die For You.
He hated it. Why did he of all people have to go deliver a package to Akito? Didn't they have Mail men
for that? He agreed to it, but it was only because he didn't think anyone else deserved to go. Not even
that stupid cat.
"I suppose I have no choice..."He sighed, as he went through the gates of the Sohma property noticing
the silent emptiness. This emptiness chilled him to the core. Since he'd become so dependent of always
having someone to be with he's forgotten what this loneliness felt like.
Walking forward the silver haired boy passed the many houses of the Sohmas'. It was
freezing cold and snow littered the ground. He never liked winters much. When he was young
it just gave Akito and him more time to be together. Nothing pleasant ever came from those times.
That was why winters were something that he faced rather- well reluctantly. Snapping him out of his
thoughts, the light chirp of a bird reminded him to look up and turn left just barely avoiding slamming
into a wall.
Taking in a deep breath of ice cold air, He allowed himself to slip back into his thoughts. Of
all people only Akito could truly scared him. Even the devil himself probably couldn't compete
with Akito as to who frighten Yuki the most. As he neared Akito's 'territory' he mentally prepared
himself. (I can't do anything bad. I just have to shut up and behave.) he thought. Dreading the moment,
he finally reached Akito's door. He knocked and then waited for the voice he knew all to well.
After a moment Akito demanded angrily. "Who's there?!"
Akito's tone made him flinch, but Yuki replied doing his best to keep his voice steady. "Akito, It's
me, Yuki. I brought your package."
...
There was a shuffle of footsteps then the door slid open and Akito's eyes locked on
me. He looked me up and down before saying. "Oh, Yuki how nice to see you..." Akito's
smile was as warming as a dark cold empty prison in hell. I could only nod, trying my hardest not
to just run away from him. "Come in Yuki. Don't simply stand outside in the cold. You don't want to
get sick do you?"
(Like it's any warmer inside with you oh, and by the way Akito you make me sick so
please go to hell.) Were thoughts I could never bring myself to say. So I just nodded again,
reluctantly walking past Akito into the room. I had to admit it was warmer in the room than outside.
That is until Akito sighed, lightly running his fingers down my back sending a shiver down my
spine. "Don't touch me." On instinct I turned, slapping his hand away.
The room went silent, Even the sounds of the birds outside seemed to fade away as the package
dropped to my feet. I could feel deadly dark eyes set on me that seemed to bore into my very soul. It
felt like an eternity standing there until I worked up the courage to finally look up at Akito.
I bowed my head in shame. "A-Akito, I regret my actions terribly! I'm sorry... I didn't mean to-"
Suddenly, Before I could react I was being pulled up by my hair forcing me to stand on the tips
of my feet a cry of pain escaping from my lips. Then Akito forced me forward onto my knees. "Why
do you do this to me Yuki!?" Akito screeched at me all while yanking me back and forth.
I felt involuntary tears forming at the corners of my eyes in repentance knowing it would get a lot
worst from here on. "Answer me! Damn it Yuki!" I felt a sharp stab of pain as Akito kneed me in the
ribs making me let out a loud groan. With his free hand he forced me to look up at him. "You pathetic
piece of crap..." He sneered, Leaning down forcing a rough kiss on me, biting down hard on my bottom
lip.
"Ng!" I tried to push him away but it was no use. Akito leaned down, nipping at my collar. It hurt
too much the way he did it. I couldn't just let him do this to me. I had to do something. Anything... "Stop!"
I turned hitting him away with my elbow weakly.
It worked though, Akito flinched away. Yet all my hope faded as I realized it inflicted barely any
damage. Angrily he turned back at me grabbing the collar of my shirt pulling me up "After all I've
done for you! You ungrateful little brat!" Akito swung his free hand down to smack me, just as I
shut my eyes and braced myself for what came next.
The pain never came.
I opened my eyes and looked up slightly, A figure stood at the door a look of shock on his face. A
figure I was grateful to see. Akito stood up, flinging me onto the ground. I landed with a thud and a soft
moan came from my lips as the pain in my ribs gave me trouble breathing. "Oh, Ayame... What brings you
by?" Akito asked kindly. I could just imagine him with a gentle smile that never reached his eyes.
"I was just passing by- and I heard someone call for help... But that doesn't matter! Akito what are
you doing to Yuki?" For once in his life Ayame looked seriously mad. No, not mad. Furious. Yet all that
went through my mind was (Who? Someone called for help?
For me? Why?)
"Ayame understand. Yuki defied me. For that he must be punished. So if you would so kindly leav-"
Akito was stopped short as Ayame stalked forward forcing Akito to step back slightly. "I can't let you
Akito. You can't hurt my little brother anymore." With his next words Ayame's voice shook slightly. "I'll
do anything please... Just don't punish Yuki."
Akito pondered the offer for a while then said. "Fine, but you have to endure the punishment instead. For
however long I feel like. While keeping me fully entertained as my slave. If you cannot then I will punish
Yuki even more severely."
Ayame didn't look like he liked the deal, yet he still nodded. "Okay, Akito I'm yours. Anything you say."
I stood up immediately only to fall onto my knees utterly dizzy. "Ayame don't do it!"
My older brother looked at me and smiled. "It's okay Yuki. Don't worry about it." Ayame strode forward
grabbing my hand pulling me up and led me to the door.
"But it'll be too much for you to endure!" I tried to reason with Ayame.
He chuckled shaking his head. "C'mon Yuki. Have more faith in me. I'll be fine."
"Liar!" I hugged Ayame tightly, Looking up at him frustrated.
Ayame seemed surprised, but he still smiled. "Sheesh, I run at you. You sprint away. I pull away. You
won't let go." He put his hands on my shoulders. "Yuki just go home and forget what happened today." He
ruffled my hair then pulled away, and began sliding the door shut.
"Please! Ayame! Let me suffer! Don't do it!" I pleaded.
Ayame stopped just short of closing the door and looked at me dead serious. "Listen to me Yuki: I would
do anything for you. I would even die if it meant you didn't gave to suffer anymore." With these last words
he shut the door.
"Ayame..." I stood there for a moment. "Ayame..." Then I lost it. "Ayame! Damnit!" I slammed my weight
against the door but it was locked. I hopelessly tugged at the door before I heard a sound of pain that could
only be from my brother. I backed away quickly sickened by the noise tripping over some steps falling back
onto the hard cold snow-covered ground.
"Why would he do that?" I muttered to myself. Standing shakily stumbling away from the sounds. "Why!?" I tripped
falling into the snow. It burned my skin with its icy sting.
I shoved myself off the ground and mindlessly stumbled to nowhere. I think I twisted my ankle. I'm
sure, it hurt, but I was too numb inside to feel anything, but hate. Hate towards Ayame for willingly giving
himself up for me. Hate for Akito who forced pain upon my brother.
Yet the greatest hate was towards myself. Yuki the coward who couldn't just silently endure the pain.
Then a dreading realization came to me as I remembered what Ayame had said.
"I was just passing by- and I heard someone call for help..."
I called for help. It was me... was all I could think before I collapsed giving into a
dark world of slumber.
End.
