MP: CHAPTER 7: HEARTS UNFOLD!
Things at the Sohma house the next morning was nothing out of the ordinary, Akita and Tohru were cleaning the house, Shigure was "writing", Kyo was practicing his martial arts and Yuki was out tending his garden.
"KYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Akita had less than a second to look up when Kagura came sprinting past thru a door and launch herself onto Kyo.
"GET OFF ME! WHAT THE HELL! GET THE HELL OFF ME!"
"Oh Kyo I'm so sorry for missing the party last night, my mother wouldn't let me come, but I'm here now! So we can have a party, just the two of us! Come on this'll be fun!"
Akita POV
I swear it must be the most funniest thing I've ever seen, Kyo the big tough, quick to anger cat was being dragged away by a girl! I could hear his cries for help and sudden burst of yelling, it really was funny.
"What's going on?"
"Hey Yuki, haha, Kagura, haha, Kyo, hahahahaha"
I couldn't help but laugh, I couldn't even tell Yuki what had just gone down.
"Kagura just dragged Kyo off 'coz she missed the party last night and so they're having their own party"
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, GIMMIE THE KEY FOR THE DOOR, NO DON'T PUT IT DOWN THERE…"
"Wonder how she will react when she finds out someone has stolen Kyo's heart Akita?"
"Yuki, did you really have to bring that up? I don't even know what I'm going to do about all of this, I mean…Akito"
"I'll go make some tea, then we'll have a long talk, Akita you go get Kyo and Kagura, Yuki, I think we might need some tissues for Kagura."
"Right" both me and Yuki said at once.
Knock knock"Hey Kagura, Kyo can you please come out here please, we need to have a bit of a talk."
"OK! No worries, come on Kyo hunny-cakes."
"DON'T CALL ME HUNNY-CAKES"
"Move it Kyo, we're gonna tell her" I whispered to Kyo
We were sitting round the table in the lounge, there was a deathly silence as we had just told Kagura what had happened last night.
"Kagura?" I asked, she was just sitting there with her head down, I knew she was crying.
"I had better be going, my mother needs help with cleaning"
And with that she left, just like that she was gone. I felt so bad for what had happened.
"She needed to know Akita, it was best we told her rather than her find out at school." And then Kyo kissed me ever so lightly on my head and went to go visit his master. Tohru and Yuki left to go tend to the garden some more and so I was just left there alone. So i thought i might go talk to Shigure.
"Shi, can I ask you something?"
"Hmm…"
"Well…you see…the thing is…I…have…"
"Kyo's your first boyfriend and you don't know how to act around him."
Shigure said without even looking up from his paper.
"Wow your good…"
"Good intuition"
"Yeah, so what do I do, how do I act n stuff, like what does he want from me?"
Shi put his paper down and looked at me seriously.
"Well for your first question, you do whatever comes naturally, do what you feel comfortable with and don't do anything you don't want to. For your second question, act as you always do, don't change who you are, just be relaxed. And all Kyo wants from you, is your love and to see you happy and smiling."
"Who are you and what have you done with Shigure?"
"Oh cruel world, why hast thou forsaken me, when a child speaks of such hurtful things…"
"Shut up"
I walked out the door went halfway down the hall, turned around and kissed Shigure on the cheek,
"Thank-you"
And I left…again.
Shigure, he can be so immature at times, but when you really need someone to talk to, someone who you know will give you advice, he's the guy you go to.
A normal week went past it was Saturday night and I was tired and school was starting again soon so I decided to go to bed early. That night I had a really, really weird dream, I dreamt that I was lying on my bed, when a crow came through my window, he started speaking in some weird language, I tried to ask what he was saying but I couldn't. I was frozen, I saw Kyo look at me and then look away in shame, Tohru was crying and Yuki was standing against the wall with his head down. Shigure was trying to talk to Kyo but nothing worked.
The crow then morphed into Akito and he started laughing, maniacal laughter then a sudden flash of light.
I woke up with a scream, and looked at my clock, 2:00am.
What the hell was that about?
I decided to try and go back to sleep, and the 2nd half of the night was dreamless.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep
"5 more minutes…"
My door opened
"Akita…" it was Kyo, he sounded weird.
"Yeah I'll make my own breakfast tell Tohru I'll be fine."
"No it's not that, Akita…Akita, Hatori is here, and he's taking you back…"
My heart froze…no…no this wasn't happening…no it can't be happening…I'm still asleep, it's all just a nightmare…
"Akita?"
"I'm not going back… I refuse to go back"
"Unfortunately, that isn't your decision to make Akita. Kyo help her pack her things. We'll be leaving soon Akita, please be ready by then."
And Hatori left. I sat in a state of shock. This cant be happening…
"We'd better get you packed. Don't want to keep Hatori waiting…"
Kyo sounded so different to his normal self, he was quiet and seemed so sad.
"Will you come visit? Kyo? Will you come visit me?"
"You know I can't…I'm not allowed inside the Sohma main house except for new years."
"Oh…that's right…"
"I'm sorry…this is all my fault…"
"It's not your fault Kyo, we all knew this would happen sooner or later…"
"No it's my fault, it's my fault coz I love you, Akito found out…I knew I shouldn't have kissed you that night at the party, but I couldn't help it…I love you Akita."
"Kyo, I don't care if Akito tortures me to the point of death, that night was one of the best I had ever had and I wouldn't change it for the world…Kyo will you do me a favour? Every time you look at the stars, will you think of me? And can you please…could you please never forget me? If that's the last thing I can ever ask of anyone…I…I…Kyo, I'm scared, I don't want to go back"
At this point tears are streaming down my face…
We finished packing and stood in silence, Kyo moved towards me.
"Akita…I promise you…I will never forget you…and I promise I will get you out of there."
We then shared our last kiss.
Sohma Main House
Normal Pov
Akito was lying in the sun on the porch. Akita was sitting in silence, head down and a heart full of sadness and worry.
"Tell me Akita, how was that party of yours…you know the one where you didn't invite your older brother?"
Akita wasn't stupid, she knew that Akito wasn't expecting an answer. So she sat there in total silence, awaiting the next question…there's always three questions…then on the third he always expects an answer.
"I really don't know how you could let that thing touch you, let alone kiss you. Tell me, how dose it feel to know that you will never see it again?"
Akita was close to breaking point…she couldn't stand anyone bad mouthing her friends, and definitely not Kyo.
"You know you'll never see it again, and that feral female that lives with them. Poor Yuki, he has to live with such freaks, I think maybe, I'll make him live here too."
"Don't… just stop it Akito…stop controlling everyone's lives…just stop it…"
"Hold your tongue feral child, after being that close to the cat, you have no right to say anything to me, your opinion is invalid. Mother always thought so too, did you know? She never loved you, she just had to put on a show in front of the others, do you ever remember mother preferring you over me? She had no intention of having another child…you drove her to her death, she never wanted you, you weren't supposed to happen. How does it feel to know that you killed your own mother? Especially after knowing that you were never meant to happen, if it wasn't for you, mother would still be alive."
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Mother loved me, she said so to me…she always did…she died because she was sad…"
"And why do you think she was sad you idiot? Are that stupid that you can't figure it out for your self? You've become a rude little bitch…I think you need some re-educating…teach you some manners. I'll show you pain like you've never felt pain before."
Akito then hit her over the head with his fist, for such a frail body, Akito was surprisingly strong. Akita blacked out.
Shigure's house
"I can't stand it, we've got to do something! We can't just leave her there, Akito'll kill her! We've gotta bring her back!"
"Kyo shut up, there's no way for us to bring her back, and all we can do is hope for the best."
"You damn rat, you don't care at all do you? Why aren't you down there right now? Why haven't you been to see her? It's been a whole week since she was here, and you haven't been to see her!"
"What about you? You haven't been there have you? What is it? Are you cared of Akito?"
"Shut up, that's it, i'm goin, I'm gonna go get her, are you coming or not?"
"Kyo, I'll come with you…I miss her. Yuki, are you coming?"
"I'd better otherwise the stupid cat will probably fuck it up some way or another."
MP: omg…that ending totally sucked --

Chapter 8- Help
Her eyes no longer held that shine as they once did, they were cold, lifeless empty. Her hair no longer had the shine it used to and her skin was pale from being in the dark for so long. It was evident…she would die if she stayed here.
