The Enemy

Chapter 4 – Because of Shigure

Akito – 10

Shigure – 18

Kureno – 17

Hatori - 18

Akito was a girl on a mission. She wandered around the Sohma house looking for some of her zodiacs. She wandered hall after hall after hall. She stopped when she noticed Shigure sitting reading a book. She took a big breath and walked to him

"Shigure, do you like me?" She asked. Shigure looked up at her and smiled; he put down his book and went to some flowers. He picked out one of Akito's favourites and walked back up to a now confused Akito

"I care about you. More than I care about anyone. And that is the honest and unshakeable truth." He then handed Akito the flower. Akito looked up into Shigure's eyes and she felt something, something's special, something she hadn't felt before and she didn't know if she should be scared or remain calm but she also decided not to ask Shigure.

Akito sat in her room with Kureno pretending to be reading a book but she was actually deep in thought while admiring the flower Shigure gave her. It wasn't long though before Kureno started to worry. He had watched her for 15 minutes and she still hadn't look anywhere else but the book. He decided to be brave and stood to make his way over to Akito.

"Are you ok Miss Akito?" he asked looking concerned.

Akito jumped slightly as she jumped out of her mind.

"Yes?" Akito asked looking up at Kureno confused. Kureno sat beside her looking more worried, he put his arm around her and cuddled with her. Akito let him cuddle her but stayed a little in her thought. She felt this confusing feeling when around Kureno but not as strongly as she did Shigure. Just as Akito was thinking the door to her room opened and Shigure looked at them in shock. His facial expression then changed into an angry expression and he stormed out of the room. Akito moved to follow him but then decided not to.

A few days later….

Akito sat in her room alone. She hadn't seen Shigure since that day and she was getting worried. She was sat in the dark and had yelled at Kureno and Yuki to leave her alone. Shigure had seemed like a drug to Akito. She needed him every now and again to keep her feeling it was worth it to keep on. Lately Akito had been feeling depressed and was getting ill even more often than usual. She felt lonely and sad. It was weird people had been around her often but she still felt lonely. Kureno was very worried and now so was Hatori. Akito didn't really care all she could think about was Shigure. Where is he? Who is he with? Why isn't he here? Was this to punish her? Was he feeling the same?

Kureno slowly and carefully slid the door open to Akito's room. Akito looked up at Kureno with minimal effort. Kureno sat on the floor and looked at her worried.

"I've heard of what's happened to Shigure". Kureno said calmly.

Akito quickly picked up her head and looked at Kureno

"Really? Where is he?"

"He's still in Japan but he's not here, he's studying fine English literature in college"

Akito although was a little cheerful for knowing where Shigure was sighed and put her head back into her knees. Kureno closed the door shutting off the only beam of light in the room. The room was back in darkness. This was how Akito liked it now. Her world was full of darkness for her and the rest of her zodiac. This is how they were going to live from now on.
