Sweet Akito
Akito sighed, staring at the sky in a trance-like state...
When Akito woke up she felt there was something missing, and when she found out that Kureno wasn't beside her, she grew desperate and yelled at her servants to find out where he was.
Sneering at the quivering assistants as they told his location, she stormed into her room sitting on the private deck that was outside of her room. Watching the Cherry Blossoms in bloom.
He was in America;staying at the other side of the planet when he should've been on her side. Staying with her like he always did, like he promised he always would. Why had he left her alone? He hadn't even told her anything about going away... maybe he knew that she wouldn't let him go?
Akito watched the sky and saw the birds fly freely in flocks, chirping happily. Akito felt a sharp pain in her chest, clutching the robe she was wearing, sitting up and grimaced. She tried to stand up but couldn't and her usual dizziness washed over her.
"HATORI!!" came a frightened shriek and she fell on her back.
...Everything went black.

"...ito? Akito?" she opened her eyes seeing the familiar worried face of Hatori, the Sohma family's private doctor. She felt the covers over her, noting that she had been transferred in her bed, "Heh" was the only thing she managed before she got a coughing fit, making Hatori sigh.
"Why did he leave?" Akito asked after a while, staring at Hatori who surely knew the reason.
Hatori looked at her concerned and felt her forehead, "Akito, you are getting a high fever again... you need to take better care of-"
"Stop ignoring my question!" Akito snapped flustered with a rasp voice and Hatori looked at the bag with his tools, "He had some business over there... he wouldn't tell me or anyone that much like always..."
He looked back at Akito who had tears in her eyes. Hatori looked at her worried and reached for her shoulder but she swapped his hand away, pulling her kimono close, "Just go away... please."
He gave a quick nod and closed his black briefcase, knowing all to well that it was for the best to do as she demanded. With a concerned face, he stopped in the doorway and watched her as she sobbed in silence, clenching the covers. He then walked away.

Akito stared with a blank look at the Cherry Blossoms and blinked when she heard chiming of bells in the wind. She turned at the direction of the sound and saw a red thread with little bells that had something attached to it in her favorite tree. She slowly walked towards it and gasped when she saw a rose, a beautiful light pink rose. With the rose was a note with Kureno's elegant handwriting;
" I'll See You Tomorrow,
My Sweet Akito
- Kureno "
Tears formed now in Akito's eyes and her lips curled up in a rare smile, "Kureno no Baka," she said with a giggle, while stroking the vulnerable petals of the flower.
The End

A Side Note:
For those who don't know, Sweet Akito is actually a type of rose and my inspiration for this fic. If you want to know how it looks like, Google it!
I know it's really really short but I hope it's okay... even though there was pretty much no Kureno in it .__.'
Uh, yeah.
