I had to up the rating because it was getting to violent. Too bad. I hope everyone still enjoys it though.
Yuki sat at the kitchen table with his hands folded. He wondered what Hatori would think when he saw what happened to Akito. Yuki knew he would be in trouble. He didn't really care though. He stopped caring about a lot of things. He wasn't the person everyone thought he was. He never was the person everyone thought he was. He always pretended to be a caring and kind person especially when he assumed he was going to die with Mitsuka. But it was over now. He didn't need to pretend anymore. Everyone saw him for who he really was. He wasn't going to let anyone change him. It was too late. It was much too late.
Yuki's thoughts were interrupted with the ringing of the phone. He assumed it was Hatori again calling about what he saw in his closet. Yuki got up and answered the phone prepared to laugh in his face.
"Hello?" He said in a sing-song voice.
"Is this Yuki Sohma?" said a girl.
A confused look crossed Yuki's face. Who was this person? "Who is this?" he asked.
"This is Mina. Do you remember me? I talked to you earlier today. I was the one who asked about the suicide club." The girl answered.
Yuki smiled as he remembered the girl. "Of course. Mina, how are you?" he asked.
Mina's voice perked up a bit. "I'm fine! I was just talking to my friends about the club and we wanted you to know that we told other people about it. They seemed interested. We all have some issues that we don't really want to deal with anymore. We figured maybe you could help us. Please, tell us you decided to run the new suicide club. We really need somewhere to go." Mina said.
Yuki thought about it a moment. Would he be able to be the next Mitsuka? Those were some hard shoes to fill. Mitsuka made everyone feel special and wanted. Yuki wasn't sure he was able to do that. The more he thought about it though, the more he wanted to try.
"The first meeting will be on Tuesday. Be sure to show up at my school. It will be on the roof. I'll be waiting."
"Oh, thank you Yuki! Thank you so much! I'll tell everyone! Bye!" Mina yelled into the phone.
"Bye-Bye." Yuki said with a smile. He hung up the phone and went up to his room. He sat at his computer and went to the forum. He was the only one who had updated anytime recently. The Suicide Club Forum was only for members of the suicide club. Yuki had made the last entry before everyone jumped in front of the train. Afterward he had made one more entry.
"Why didn't I die? Why was I the only one who was spared? A miracle came when I didn't want one."
He hadn't made an entry since then. No one else has either. But soon this forum would be alive again. He signed in and typed an entry.
"The Suicide Club will be reborn."
Shigure and Ayame stood over the fallen Hatori. They couldn't blame him for passing out. Both of the other men fault nauseous and disgusted at what they saw in the closet, but Hatori had been right there. They had taken him to a separate room in the house and let him rest.
"Yuki couldn't have done that to Akito. He's not that kind of person." Ayame said to Shigure.
Ayame and Shigure were standing on either side of the bed that Hatori was lying on. Tohru, Haru, and Kyo, still in cat form, were sitting in the corner. The men had told them what they saw. It was hard for them to believe.
Shigure glanced as Ayame as if he was crazy. "Open your eyes. Who else did it? No one hated Akito as much as Yuki did."
"But he was frightened of Akito! He wouldn't have done that if he was scared of him!" Ayame argued.
A sour laugh escaped Shigure's lips. "We can't trust Yuki anymore. You know as well as I do that Yuki was responsible for what happened to Akito."
Ayame looked at Hatori. Inside he knew Yuki did it. He made all this happen. But how could he go against the person he cared so much about? But he also couldn't deny that he cared about Hatori. How would Hatori be after this? He probably wouldn't be the same. He saw some things that no amount of Ayame's love could heal. Ayame knew that one day he would have to pick. He would have to pick either his brother, Yuki or his best friend, Hatori.
"Hatori? Are you ok?"
Hatori slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and didn't recognize where he was. He sat up and glanced around some more. Everything was white. He realized he was lying under a huge fountain. There were benches around and a white cobblestone walkway. Where was this place?
"Hatori? Hello?"
Hatori turned around and was shocked to see Momiji standing behind him. He was dressed in his school uniform. Hatori never understood why he wanted to wear a girl's school uniform. It looked good on him though. The dragon stared into the bunny's brown eyes. They were sincere and innocent, just like when he was alive.
Hatori stopped short. That's right. Momiji was dead. He wasn't alive anymore. But if he wasn't alive then how was he here, in front of Hatori. Only one thought crossed Hatori's mind.
"Am I dead, Momiji?" he asked.
"Nope." Momiji said with a smile. "You passed out after you saw what happened to Akito. That's a terrible fate for someone. He should have treated us better. Then maybe Yuki wouldn't have hurt him so much."
Hatori grabbed his head and sat against the fountain. Momiji sat next to him with his knees up.
"Yuki didn't care about anyone." Hatori said harshly. "He's the one responsible for killing you. Then after what he did to Akito…he's gone mad. He may be planning to kill all of us."
Momiji shook his head. "No. I don't think so. He doesn't want the people around him to die. He wants to die himself. And he isn't the one who killed me. I killed myself. It isn't Yuki's fault."
"Yes it is! If he hadn't tried to kill himself then you wouldn't have either. What are we going to do? If we don't do something then he'll make everyone go crazy. Tohru is so upset, Shigure won't let himself mourn because he's trying to take care of Ayame, Ayame himself is in denial of his younger brother's doings, and Haru is ready to kill Yuki himself." Hatori said.
"Yuki wouldn't mind if Haru killed him." Momiji gave a small laugh. "You need to take it easy, Hatori. I know it's going to be hard with everything going on, but you really need a break."
A tear fell out of Hatori's eye. "I can't even go in my own room anymore. How am I supposed to relax?"
Momiji put his hand on the older man's shoulder. "You're a strong person, Hatori. I believe you can do anything. Don't let anyone else get hurt, but let fate run its course. If Yuki is destined to die, then you are destined to help Ayame get through it. He needs help. I tried to tell Yuki but he wouldn't listen. If you don't help Ayame then you will lose more than Yuki. You'll lose his brother."
Hatori listened intently to the bunny. He was wise beyond his years. Hatori turned to face Momiji to thank him. He screamed as he saw tears of blood running down the young boy's face. The crimson red stained his cheeks and made him seem more ghostly than the angelic look he was supposed to have. Hatori covered his eyes and continued to scream.
"Hatori! Hatori, wake up! Wake up, Hatori!"
Hatori awoke with a start. He looked around frantically. His family was around him. They looked at him with concerned on their faces. He leaned against the pillow his head was resting on and tried to regain his breath.
"You must have had a nightmare." Shigure said.
"Yea." Hatori said. "It was nightmare. Just a nightmare."
You'll find out what happened to Akito in the next chapter, but how did you like this one? Let me know!
