Far Away – Yuki felt the terrible rejection. But was still strong, he had to be. Because as long as Kyo is happy, he will be happy.
Far Away
Prologue
Amethyst eyes look outside behind bars. Not really moving. Feeling the heavy weights on both his hands and his legs. He was bind to a brick wall. Surrounded with darkness. Heavy chains connected from the wall to his neck. His hair messy and untidy. Bruises visible with the help of the moon.
'It's raining again.'
A small smile form his pale face. Not minding the pain that it did for his bruising lips. Blood dripping, eyes shut. Biting gently his lower lip, suppressing a groan. Eyes determine not to show any weaknesses anymore. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry. No matter how much he tried. Then he notice that his tears...were dry. Sitting, just sitting. His deep blue kimono, tattered loose around his body. Forcing his arms to move and hug his knees. His whole body ached. The cold weather didn't help. He lay trembling on the stone floor. Wanting to close his eyes and fall asleep. Thinking that would be a peaceful way to die. Just that way. Where he could dream of something else besides the nothingness in the room. His baggy eyes blink a couple of times and finally close. It wasn't surprising though, when he open them back. He wanted to feel anything inside or perhaps just dream. Wanting to hold into something and relive the numbness of his whole being. But all he could see is a bare room. Made of cold gray stones. There is nothing for him here.
'But why am I here? I could try to escape and not linger in this place.'
Trying to find an answer. Which he did.
'I prefer to stay here because... there is no one for met here. It would not make any difference.'
He force himself into a dreamless sleep. Failing miserably.
'At least here... In this place, no one could hurt me, except him.'
The words keep echoing in his head. He felt weak from too much blood loss. Disgusted that he was imprisoned in his own home, the Sohma main house. Nonetheless he was fine. Vengeance is sweet. But he realize that it doesn't mean anything anymore. Not when he had lost everything. He had given up fighting. Because he had lost from the very beginning. Stubbornness blinded him from what is real. And what did he gain?... He gained nothing but regret. He gritted his teeth in anger.
'The memories...I don't them. It will hurt more if I remember.'
Thunder struck. The rain poured heavily, he notice. It suddenly felt colder and colder. His shaking worse. His asthma triggered, coughing endlessly. Hurting his already dislocated jaws. More blood covered the already tainted floor. His senses going bad. The once amethyst eyes turning a dull shade of ordinary purples. His vision blurry. His hearing a bit deaf. Nose, bleeding. Lips, aching. He felt the world go round, going dizzier. As he cough his life out. Just as he was about to pass out. Miraculously the heavy bolted door open. Revealing the head of the Sohma Family. Yuki jerk his head. Shiver crept into his spine.
"A-akito..."
