The Lake House chap 4
Previously:
"Are you alright Cristiana, please did I hurt you by asking about your family?"
"No this happens a lot I don't know why but it does. Sorry if I scarred you Hatori-sama." After that Cristiana fell asleep in Hatori's arms.
Now:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*7mounts later*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Love, wait calm down. I won't let Akito hurt you, Cristiana I promice."
"Hatori, it's not me I'm worried about it's you what if he hurts you again and I can't heal you again?" Cristiana was flipping out about meeting Akito. Hatori knew that he had to get her to calm down so he did the thing that always worked; he kissed her. He felt her relax instantly. Hatori pulled Cristiana behind him as he made his way the main hall where Akito received guests when on the rare occasion he did. Hatori entered the hall with Cristiana hot on his heels. As they entered the hall they saw Akito sitting on the floor looking out the open paper door.
"Akito." After Hatori said the man's name he got his knees so that they were at the same level.
"Hatori, who is this?" Cristiana could hear the anger rising within Akito's voice. Hatori looked over at her and smiled a very small smile then he looked back to his families head man.
"This is my fiancé Akito, I wished for you to meet her before the wedding." Akito jumped up and through a glass at Hatori, it hit its target; Hatori's neck were there was the most blood flow. Cristiana screamed, ran over to Hatori and started to pray once again. She put her lips to the gash in his neck and held it there until there was the flash of light that she was all too familiar with. She wiped the blood off of her lips with a handkerchief then she turned her to face Akito while holding Hatori secularly to her chest.
"How can you be so heartless Akito? He is your family!" she hissed as tears ran her cheeks. Akito was frozen to the spot.
'How can she hold Hatori and he not change?' Cristiana could tell what he was thinking by the look on his face.
"You're not the only one with a family curse. I know what it's like to bare one just like your family." Akito came over and kneeled on front of Hatori and Cristiana. He looked at Hatori's neck and saw the wound was gone. He then looked at Cristiana and then he understood.
"You are the healer from your family aren't you?"Cristiana nodded her head to let him know that he was correct.
"Yes I am. My other form I'd rather you see so you will believe me. Brennen come in here sweetie." Akito looked back and saw a little boy around the age of 3 walk into the room. Cristiana laid Hatori back onto the floor and opened her arms to the little boy with silver and black streaked hair. He ran into her arms at a neck breaking speed. She caught him as she child and Akito saw the poof of smoke. Then he heard a loud thump and a child's laughter.
"Auntie Cristy Your tale is pretty!!!" Akito ran into the smoke and saw the little boy sitting in his mothers' lap. Then her saw something red flash from underneath the navy blue floor length skirt Cristiana wore looked closer and saw it was a tail like a fish would have.
"You see? I know what it is like born being different, just like all of you." Akito heard her voice sounded more melodic than it did before. Cristiana kissed the little boy on the forehead and told him to go back to Momiji. Akito watched the little boy fun out of the room then he looked back to Cristiana and saw that Hatori was now sitting up and had his arms around her waist while sitting behind her, chin on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry but my answer is…" before he could finish answer his answer he went into a coughing fit and it wasn't going away this time. Hatori rushed over and tried to get Akito to calm down but it wasn't working.
"Hatori, give him to me." Cristiana stated as she held out her arms to take Akito. Hatori kneeled down and put Akito in his loves arms. Cristiana cradled Akito to her chest as he held onto her black shirt, all the while shaking. Cristiana put one hand on his chest and her lips to his forehead while rocking Akito in her arms. There was a flash of light and the coughing that was racking his body stopped. His breathing was even and the death grip on her shirt was loosened as Akito looked up at the girl holding him to her chest. She let out a sigh of relief when he smiled up at her. There was a poof sound and Akito felt legs under him instead of the tail he was on before.
"Thank you." Akito got off of Cristiana's lap and sat on the floor next to her while Hatori sat in front of them.
"Hatori, you had my consent." And with that Akito got up and smiled a real honest to god smile (no pun intended…) and then walked out of the room.
Hatori and Cristiana looked at each other and then she was picked up and spun around by Hatori as she cried tears of joy.
"Next stop: wedding preparations." Hatori just smiled.
A.N. when I wrote no pun intended I didn't notice that Akito was the 'god'of their family until after I wrote it so I'll get the next chapter up soon I promise!!!
