Chapter 10: Feather in the Dark Room

Slowly Akito approached her. He remembered her memories being erased, and now he wished he hadn't. "You! What are you doing here?" Akito yelled.

"What? Am I not allowed here anymore? You're the one the who said I had to stay with you for a week." She yelled back.

"Well your week is up! You don't belong in this world!" Akito raged. "You are a monster! You memories were supposed to be erased! You really aren't human! You stupid girl! Did you really think you could break our curse!?" Akito yelled as he grabbed Phillia and threw her into his room. Phillia fell to her knees, crying.

"Do you really think that of me Akito? Even after that time?" Phillia sobbed.

"That time? You really think that was for real?" He whispered turning his face from hers. "No...I told you before...love doesn't exist." Akito said quietly as a tear ran down his cheek.

Phillia grasped her arms. She didn't want to believe that what he was saying was true. She tried to remember all he had said to her. His feelings, his confessions, and everything else they had done together.

"Don't lie Akito...I know that isn't the truth. I know what your heart really wants. You're afraid of me aren't you." Phillia crouched back into a corner. "You're afraid, because you don't understand what I am. You fe-...." Akito cut her off.

"Be quiet! I don't want to hear your voice! I don't even know why you're still here!" He screamed lowering to his knees. Phillia looked at him. He was shaking and she was afraid to comfort him.

"If you fear me so much that you wish to drive me away from the place you said I wasn't allowed to leave then.....then....you're no different from any other family who said they cared for me!" Phillia screamed. She usually ran away from things like this, but this time she was determined to stay and face her problem. Akito looked at her. She was now pale and her eyes were filled with pain. She too was shaking and tears were falling like rain. Akito hated to see her like this, and he was now filled with guilt for saying those things.

"Phillia....." He said a little softer. Phillia looked away from his eyes. She loved him, like she loved Hatori, but she was afraid, not of what he would do to her, but afraid of what he might to her heart. That's when she noticed the tears that he was shedding.

"I need you Akito....just like you need me. I can feel it. You don't mean what you say. That's what you think you have to say, but you don't. I know you care for me, I could feel it in your kiss Akito." She said calmly. Akito knew she was right, but he didn't want to admit it. He knew now that...he did love her, he did need her. Akito crawled over to her and collapsed; his head landing in her lap. Phillia's tears had slowed down, and she felt a tiny smile crawl across her face. She looked outside. The sun had set and the moon could already be seen. Stars covered the sky, and a few clouds floated in the night sky.

"Phillia..you were right." Akito mumbled after a long while of resting. "I'm afraid, afraid that you would just using me. That you were controlling my mind."

"Hmm...well maybe I should explain a little. Hatori found some interesting information." She said as she stroked his black hair. She began to explain what Hatori had said about her powers, including the ability of mind breaking. She left out the part about her dream and the White Hinota. Akito sat up and took hold of Phillia's hands.

"So that's why...I grew to like you so quickly."

Phillia nodded, resting her head on his chest. He rested one hand on the back of her neck.

"Tell me more." Akito said as he stood up. Phillia began talking about the Hanots, not noticing Akito as he walked around shutting and locking all the doors and windows. The room was now dark, and Phillia could barely see.

"Akito...what are you doing?" She stuttered. Akito didn't reply. Phillia jumped when she felt Akito grab her pulled her to the middle of the bedroom.

She will be mine. I'll make her mine...she won't be lonely or feel pain anymore.

Phillia attempted to get up but Akito pinned her to the ground. Gently he kissed her lips, then pressed hot kisses down to her ear. Akito couldn't hold himself back any longer. Quickly he ripped Phillia's shirt down the middle, as he allowed his own yukata to slip off his shoulders and fall to his waist. He laid on top of her pressing his bare chest against hers. Phillia tried to resist him as thoughts began racing through her mind.

No....Hatori! I won't two time him. But Akito needs me! I don't know what to do. I'll tell Hatori surely he'll understand. I love them both, but I shouldn't do this. Please help....

As she thought of this she pushed him away, but he only came onto her more aggressively. He began to kiss her mouth again. He filled each kiss with love and passion, but he could tell she was not returning the love. Instead of stopping, this only enraged him. He sat up and slapped her. Phillia began to cry as she rubbed her face. She knew what Akito wanted, but she was afraid to give it to him. More thoughts of Hatori flooded her mind, until Akito bent down and licked the tears from her face. Phillia decided that she would explain herself to Hatori. She trusted him, and she only hoped that he trusted her as she pulled Akito closer to her. She brushed away some of the black hair from his closed eyes. Akito bent further down and kissed the nape of her neck. Phillia lifted one of her slender hands and ran her fingers through his black hair. Akito hands wandered from her shoulders down her body. Phillia struggled, but Akito held onto her tightly. He kissed her lips, aggressively shoving his tongue into her mouth. Akito reached down and undid Phillia's blue pants taking them off her legs. Then he took off his yukata and laid it down beside them. Again he kissed Phillia from her chest up to her lips.

"Phillia...you will be mine..tonight...I need you." Akito whispered in her ear.

Phillia didn't say anything. She only looked away as feelings of fear, guilt and uncertainly crept up her spine. Akito didn't hold back, as he entered her. As they made love on the floor. Akito entertained his wants and desires. He forgot about his curse. All he could think of was pleasing the beautiful girl under him. When they finally separated, they were covered in sweat. Phillia's long hair was tangled around the bodies of the two lovers. They were both breathing hard; Akito collapsed on Phillia. She wrapped her arms around his slender body and smiled as she and Akito feel into a deep sleep.

Morning...

Phillia awoke to someone banging on Akito's door.

"Master Akito! Are you awake!? Akito!" It sounded like an older woman. Akito moaned and rose to his elbows.

"I'm fine. Go away!" Akito yelled back at her.

"Akito its urgent! Please come!" She said.

Akito rolled his eyes and looked at Phillia. He smiled and kissed her forehead. He stood up and slipped his yukata back on. Phillia closed her eyes till she heard him shut the door as he left. Then quickly she found her wrinkled clothing and put them back on and ran to the door. She placed her ear next to the door trying to listen to them. All she could make out was mumbles. She waited like this for ten minutes till she heard footsteps coming closer. Phillia rushed back to the center of the room, and acted as if she did nothing. Akito entered the room, his eyes dark and in his left arm was a book. She recognized the book, being the one she had seen that little old man carry. Akito didn't look very happy. He walked towards her, stopping a few feet from her. The book fell from his arm and he didn't look at her. Phillia didn't say anything, but she could sense a burning anger. One that she had never felt before.

Oh momma....now what did I do?....

"Where are the pages to this book?" Akito said in a deep and cold voice. Phillia didn't understand.

"I don't know what your talking about." She whispered. Akito clenched his fists, trying to hold back from hitting her.

"You know what I'm talking about! This book is vital to our family. It has the information we need in finding a way to breaking the curse! All those pages are gone! They were ripped out!"

"I didn't do it! Why would I!?" She snapped.

Akito dropped to his knees and swung the book open to a place where one of the pages used to be. In the middle of those pages was a black feather. One that was too big to be a normal birds'. She was the only one they knew of that had feathers that large. Phillia gasped.

"I promise it wasn't me!"

"Not everyone knows of the curse or this book. No one has feathers like this! You did! You did try to use me! You tried to get rid of these pages were needed so that this family would suffer forever!"

"No! I wouldn't do that! You know me!"

"Do I know you Phillia!? You destroyed your own village! Killed all those people!"

"The flames went out of control! I didn't mean to kill those people...it's not my fault!" Phillia screamed, suppressing her tears.

"Liar! You manipulated my mind..along with everyone else's! Leave! Don't come back!" Akito raged as tears fell from his face. Phillia saw him hurting and she too began to cry. Phillia wanted to yell back to him, but she couldn't find the words to do so. She didn't fight him. So she ran away. She struggled with the back door lock but she managed to open it. She didn't stop running till she reached Hatori's home. There he and Momiji sat in the bedroom in silence. They watched her with sad eyes as she stumbled into the room. She looked at them and from their eyes she could tell that they knew.

"No! It wasn't me!" Phillia yelled as she fell on her knees and sobbed. Momiji walked over to her and hugged her.

"We know Phillia. I don't believe you did it." He said in a comforting voice, hugging her tighter. Hatori joined Momiji and rested his hand gently on her head.

"Everything will be ok Phillia. We know you didn't do it, but until we find who did do it, you can't stay here."

Phillia began to shiver. "Hatori I need to tell you something. You know how I was supposed heal Akito's heart, well yesterday I went to visit Akito, even though you said not to. And that night he came onto me. Well....I knew it would hurt him if I shoved him away so I let him....you know..I'm so sorry. I love you both very much, and my mind was mixed up." Phillia tried to say more, but she was overwhelmed with tears. Hatori was very shocked, but he understood her. She was a little hurt, but he knew she did love him. Momiji didn't say anything. He just smiled.

"It's alright....if I had been in that kind of situation I probably would've done the same. It's alright." Phillia looked at him and then jumped into his arms.

"Thank you Hatori! I'm still very sorry!" She cried into his white shirt. Hatori smiled and hugged her back. Momiji jumped onto both of them.

"Don't worry Phillia! Hari is very nice and understanding! You're safe as long he's here, and we'll find the bad person who did this!" Momiji laughed.

Hatori pushed her away and held onto her shoulders.

"Yes..I will protect you. For now you must leave this place." He said with a little tear running down his cheek. Phillia smiled and softly wiped his tear away.

"I'll stay in the city. I have a feeling Beeru is behind this. Some other mysteries will have to be solved." Phillia said. She hugged Momiji and Hatori very tightly.

"We'll see you soon Phillia." Momiji said as Phillia stood up and walked back outside. She turned around and smiled. It was full of love and hope. She waved then sprouted her large wings and took flight into the clear morning sky.

Yay!!!! That be done! Thanks again Makada! Thanks everyone for reviewing! I really appreciate it! . Bu-Bye!
