Chapter 7:
Haru and I arrive at the Sohma house and are greeted by being tackle-glomped by a cute blonde boy.
"Hello Momiji-kun how are you feeling I heard you weren't doing so well.
"Oh I'm all better now Yuki" He says smiling "Wait where's Tohru and Kyo weren't they coming with you?" He asks with a confused expression on his face.
"Well they were going to but Hatori reminded me that Akito-sama wouldn't want to see them.
I leave Haru and Momiji to talk with each other, and i walk into the Sohma estate. I make my way to Akito's room. I open the door wide and see Shigure sitting next to the bed along with Kureno. Akito is awake and has a weak sneer on her face. She turns to face me and her glare sends shivers down my spine.
"Yuki how are you long time no see?" she says in that deep tone she uses when she's talking to me. It's creepy i hate it so much but i cannot leave her side.
"Akito-sama i am here simply for Shigure so do not expect much of me during this stay." I state trying to keep my voice from trembling.
"Ah Yuki, Yuki you have a much more selfish reason for being here don't you, care to share it with us?" She smirks with a god horrible smile.
"I, I don't know what you're talking about?" I tremble and tears start to well up.
At that moment Haru and Momiji came in and stood by my side and held my hand. Momiji just tackle-glomped me like he normally does. Thank-you Momiji. I hold on to Haru's hand instinctively but realize Akito can't know so i swipe it away again hoping Haru gets the idea. I gulp and look back to Akito. She noticed my gesture to Haru and cocked her head, and smirks.
"Well Yuki i suppose i shouldn't blame you for coming now, it's probably guilt because you refused to come to the new years ceremony and now here i am on my death bed ha, ha." He laughs but starts to laugh up a bit of blood.
"Akito darling don't say such things, you're not on your death bed and you wouldn't even be lying here if it wasn't for Kureno." Shigure stands up and throws a nasty look at Kureno.
"Oh but Shigure if you were the father you would be saying a different story." Akito laughed scornfully, and besides it was you who slept with that woman, it was you who betrayed me."
"The only reason why i slept with her was because you slept with Kureno, you really think i wouldn't find out about your little affairs? Shigure screams with disbelief.
Akito's eyes widen in shock. This was the first time he had ever raised his voice at her. Kureno is shocked as well; he looks up at Shigure and lowers his head again looking at his feet. Shigure collapses on the side of the bed and sobs into Akito's pale cold hands. She's in shock. Obviously. Her lips are parted and her eyes are wide and staring at Shigure's shaking, trembling body.
"Leave us now, you too Kureno", she says still staring at Shigure. Kureno stands up and walks to the door, he pauses just before he goes out but shakes his head and exits. Haru, Momiji, Hatori and I also leave. I walk over to the fountain at the front of the estate and sit around the edge. I can't believe that Shigure could cry like that. I have never seen him like that ever he looked so low and destroyed, worse than when he heard about Akito collapsing. It was horrible, how can i face him after this affair. I can't believe Akito did that to herself. How could she our goddess could have killed herself, we don't know what would happen if she died.
Waiting for Shigure...
Hatsuharu walks over to me and sits next to me and leans over placing his lips to my forehead.
"Yuki, are you alright?"
"Yeah i guess Haru", i sigh
"Yuki?"
"Yes Haru"
"If it was us who had children would you have done that to yourself?
"What the hell Haru why are you depicting me as the female, besides i would never have a baby with you even if it is possible"
"Yuki please answer me?"
I look at him and he appears like it's really worrying him. "Fine, no i wouldn't do that Haru"
"Good because if you said yes I... I would miss you in fact i would die if you did that to yourself" I don't understand why Shigure hasn't done that yet. I mean if he cares about her so much why, how can he live with that.
"Because" I sigh and look towards "Shigure isn't that kind of person, if she's alive that's all he needs to know to be happy"
"Yuki?"
"What is it Haru?"
"I love you" he says kissing me passionately down my neck. "I love you, I love you, I love you"
"I guess i love you too Haru and I hug into him and am swept off my feet as he lifts my legs up and my head up. He's cradling me like a baby, not that i mind though, but if Akito sees he could hurt Haru. I stop kissing him and he lowers me down. I look around and i see the window to Akito's room is open.
