Yay, Part 7 is finally here. I'm sorry if the storyline is getting boring or anything, but I'm actually really enjoying writing this fan-fiction, but I am also starting to think of other ones I can write.

But I will stick with this one till the end.

I know how annoying it is to find a fan-fiction that you like, and then find that the writer hasn't finished it/ has given up on it.

Hatori Sohma

"So, have you found the girl already?"

I looked up steadily as Akito Sohma stood at the window looking down at the estate. He always made it impossible for people to read his emotions, mainly due to the fact they kept changing. He could change his emotions continuously in a single conversation, going from pleased to annoyed to violent and then back to calm. As his Doctor I received a lot more pain than necessary when he has a fever, but I was always weary, even more so, when Akito was calm.

It meant that he was thinking about what he should do in cold blood, rather than in a rage.

Yet still we do as he commands, and tell him when someone "outside" found out the secret, even when we individually don't want to say, which, no matter what Yuki and Kyo think, I don't. Since I had to suppress Kana's memories of our life together I have always hated going through my tedious duty to the Sohma's, and every time I did, it sucked me further and further into the darkness of despair, and I now understand what they must feel as I perform my duty coldly… like ice and winter, freezing away all their memories of surprise, anger… and love towards us.

"Yes Akito-sama, it turns out that the girl who saw the transformation and the one we saw in the estate were the same person. Yuki told me that she is also a Sohma, and so it will be easy to summon her, if that is what you wish."

"Ah, Yuki. What are his views on this sudden turn of events?"

I glanced briefly at Akito's cruel face as I quickly decided how much to say. I knew he would get most of the truth out of me, in the same way he did the rest of the zodiac, but I would try at least to protect him from Akito's anger, it was the least I can do.

"He is finding the girl at the moment, Akito-sama."

"That was not my question."

"He is concerned about the girl's well-being, but won't do anything drastic. He has only just met the girl, so he won't be too bothered, I should think"

"Then you don't know my Yuki, Hatori. If he has even considered disobeying the rules that were set at the beginning of time, then the girl must be of some importance to him, even if she has only just arrived back here."

I watched almost admiringly as Akito judged Yuki's behaviour and how he would react, so different from what I would have believed, yet so much more accurate.

"So what do you think he'll do, Akito-sama?"

"…I don't know… yet. All I know is that that girl is something important, to some part of him and his pitiful life. Keep your eyes--, eye out for him Hatori, and make sure he doesn't wander off the perfect path to me."

"Yes Akito-sama."

I decided to take my leave then, so I didn't say anything I would later regret, however Akito stopped me as I reached the door.

"Hatori, what is the girl's name?"

That was not the question I had expected.

"Her name is Hotaru; Hotaru Sohma that is what Yuki told me, at least. If she is a Sohma, then she hasn't been here lon--"

Akito's impatient hand cut me off in the middle of my sentence.

"Hotaru?" Akito smirked and then started to giggle uncontrollably to himself, a gleam of malice and amusement lighting up his face and highlighting his cruel mouth and harsh eyes. "Oh, this is perfect. I doubt if even--… well, if that's the case, then I just have to meet Miss Hotaru before she forgets our existence, won't I? And poor Yuki, maybe I should remind him of those days… when the wolves came out to play... Leave now Hatori, and bring the girl here, as soon as possible."

"Yes Akito-sama."

And with that, I was dismissed, left to wonder how Akito knew this girl, and her significance in the events that were to come…
