Merry Christmas!
WARNING: This chapter is very OOC, also it's really long.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT:
So you might of noticed that this story had to be reposted, No it wasn't taken down and no my account wasn't either.
I just can log into my account anymore! I can't log in with my email and I don't have any other way to get into it.
I feel terrible but I had to get this chapter up today! I've sent messages saying that my story has relocated.
Umm what else...
It feels like I'm back at the start again, No one reading, trying to guess if I should continue...
That's what I feel right now.
Should I continue? But there's no point...
What a Christmas present...
Ah I'm being stupid!
On with the story!
Chapter 21: It's time for a change!
"Hey!" I yelled grabbing Tohru as she fell. She laughed nervously, her eyes opening and closing. I frowned moving her over to a chair. "Now don't fall asleep," I kept a calm tone as I ran to grab my bag. She nodded in response. I came back a few moments later. She looked at me sleepily. I looked at her arm, which was still bleeding, and began to try and stop it from bleeding any further. A few (several) minutes later, It had stopped. She fell forward leaning on my shoulder and accidentally hugging me for the second time that day.
Poof!
I frowned laying in the pile of my clothes moving around. Tohru fell of the chair and lay on the floor passed out. I should of been more careful. I flapped around on the floor dying and in desperate need of water. Almost about to die, at least that's what it felt like, I shut my eyes and hoped someone would be back. I heard footsteps, my prayers had been heard-
"-Hey! Uhh-" Shigure pulled the door open dramatically and frowned at me and gasped when he saw Tohru. "What- wait you need water," he said calmly as he put me into some water. Afterwards he picked Tohru up and moved her into her room. I floated around and a few minutes later I transformed back. I pulled on my clothes and ran back over to Tohru, who was watched over by a worried Shigure.
"What happened?" He asked, a serious look on his face
"I don't know, but she seemed insistent on hiding it…" I bandaged her arm up and sighed looking away.
"...Kyo?"
"He seems to have a small cut and he had a fever earlier," I replied placing my hand on my forehead.
"I'll go get Yuki and Ushio," he stood up deep in thought. I nodded in response. We all know who's responsible…
Akito…
XOXOXOXOX
A few hours later, Tohru woke up. It took her a while to wake up completely and when she did she looked away from our glares sheepishly.
"Ah- How's Kyo kun?" She asked trying to change the subject
"He's getting better!" Ayame lied
"Ayame san when did you-" Tohru began to speak. From the corner of my eyes I saw Yuki growing impatient.
"Honda san, What happened while we were gone?" He asked as Shigure sighed.
"Yuki-"
"Nothing! I was just tired because I haven't slept in two days," She smiled weakly
"How'd you explain that then?" Ushio asked pointing at Tohru's arm and frowning. Looking at her face, I noticed that she was about to cry.
"I…" She stopped, "I cut it… when making dinner…"
"You haven't made dinner," Hiro frowned, I just managed to fully acknowledge that Kisa, Hiro, Ayame and Haru are here…
"I was going to make it when-"
"Stop lying dammit!" Hiro yelled, I noticed Kisa crying and hugging Haru. Tohru looked down.
"Haru…" I said, motioning him to take the two away. He nodded leaving only Shigure, Ayame, Yuki and Ushio in the room. As soon as Haru and the others left, she began to cry. Ushio comforted her as she apologized.
"I-I'm sorry,"
"It's fine, now what really happened?" I replied. She sighed and began … I was cleaning and tidying everything up… When there was this big crash upstairs…" She stopped
"Go on," Ushio whispered to her
"It was from Kyo kun's room… and when I went in-" She spoke in a quiet tone. However she was interrupted by the door being slammed open.
"Ah! Tohru!" Kyo stood at the door his face screwed up in pain, I frowned and walked over to him.
"Bed, You're not cured yet,"
"I… I know," He managed to make out as he stumbled over to Tohru's bed and dropped onto it, "You okay?" he looked up at Tohru who nodded her cheeks turning red. Shigure smirked knowingly as I sighed.
"Kyo you'll-"
"I'm fine!" He snapped "See," He stood up and frowned at Tohru who was fiddling with her arm. He walked over to her and sat beside her, then took her arm in his hand and looked at her. His eyes changed and looked more… gentle?
"Let me see,"
"Kyo kun you're-"
"Let others fuss about you for a change, You've probably been worrying about me," He scolded her sighing slightly, Ushio giggled
"Cute~"
"Ah…"
"H-hey!" They both blushed as Shigure laughed as well
"Let's leave them alone!"
"Shuddup!" Kyo yelled "Stupid- Ow!" He suddenly clutched his chest in pain.
"Kyo kun?" Tohru said looking concerned, she reached out to touch him but he pushed her away
"D...D-Don't... w...worry," I noticed the blood start to build up again. The wound re-opened!
"But-"
"I said don't worry!" He shouted falling forward off the bed only to be caught by Yuki. Yuki carried Kyo to his room and I dashed after him, only after I told Shigure to stay though.
"Continue finding out what happened,"
"Right,"
I ran in the room, Ushered Yuki out of the room, and shut the door.
XOXOXOXOX
It had been a few hours after Kyo awoke and collapsed. Shigure and I were on our way to the Main House. I was forced to not drive so I slumped in the seat, tired. I placed my arm over my eyes and sighed.
"So it was Akito then?"
"Yeah…" Shigure responded with a sigh as he turned the corner and almost crashed.
"... Watch out! - So what now- OK STOP!" Shigure slammed his foot down on the brakes.
"What?"
"Didn't you learn how to drive?"
"I blame my teacher for being a fan of my books,"
"...Swap over," I facepalmed as I got out and made him move.
"I wanna drive!"
"Anyway, What are we going to do?" I asked
"Funny how we're talking about Akii when we're going to the main house because he fainted,"
"Did you even listen to what I said?"
"Yeah… Well you know the answer, We can't do anything,"
"..." We sat in silence until I frowned and spoke, "Why are you coming?"
"...He's already hurt the other two, I can't trust him," He replied pausing
"I'll be fine," And with that our conversation ended, We had reached the Main House. I got out of the car and Shigure followed.
"I'll wait here," He said leaning on the car. He's on MY car.
"Off,"
"Ah sorry!" He laughed pushing me in the direction I had to go. I grabbed my bag and ran to the room he was kept in. I don't run. I've already wasted time, It's best to run. Upon reaching I noticed one of the new maids was being scolded.
"Why'd you help him!" The older maid hissed
"What do you mean? He needed help!" She asked. The other maid scowled and slapped her
"You should of left him to die, No one cares!"
"What…?" She gasped tears gathering in her eyes
"You're new. You'll learn," Well... Wow… I cleared my throat causing them to notice me.
"Oh! Hatori san welcome-"
"Move out of the way," I frowned, I walked over to the sleeping Akito. Once I had inspected him I realized that he had hurt his stomach. Maybe because Kyo-?
"Oh look! It's Hatori," A cheerful tone was heard, But the cheerfulness was fake. It was more annoyance. A tall, slender woman with black hair walked in. It was Ren. She walked over to Akito and sat beside him. Then she began to cry - faking it obviously.
"Is he okay?" She cried
"Yes,"
"Then what-"
"He fainted because he didn't eat and he was tired," I answered lying swiftly to try and avoid her drama.
"Oh," She seemed to be surprised and I noticed her small smirk. She returned to her crying afterwards. Feeling uncomfortable I stood up.
"I need to go get something," She nodded as I left.
What's happening here? I thought to the Maids and that woman. They hate him… At least I think so. Suddenly I remembered Tohru and Kyo and frowned in anger. He deserves it. I thought back to the numerous times he'd hurt someone. Then to… her… Enough! I've had enough. If the others won't do anything then I will. I'm tired of not doing anything. Realizing I had been standing in the corridor for at least ten minutes I went back inside. When I got inside however I saw that Ren had left. Akito seemed to be mumbling something in his sleep.
"S..hi...gure…" What? "No, n..n...o…" Wait what? He suddenly jolted up and looked terrified.
"Akito sama...?" He turned to look at me. He coughed and fell back down.
"Hatori," He nodded to acknowledge my presence. After checking him for the last time I left. For once he didn't speak at all only a yes or no in reply. Going to my house I noticed Shigure reading something.
"You took so long!" He cried flopping onto the bed
"..." I sighed "Go home,"
"You're so cold!"
XOXOXOXOX
~~~The Next Morning~~~
The next morning was quite a cold one. The snow was falling slowly and forming a little blanket for the cold ground. Shigure had fallen asleep on the floor, much to my dismay. Once I was ready- Which didn't take too long- I made my way to Akito's room. I knocked and went in. He was sitting looking out of the window. I clenched my fists and took a deep breath.
"How are you today?" I asked
"Fine," I walked over to him as he stood up, "So you've been at Shigure's house?"
"Yes," I replied. He glared at me and grabbed me by my collar
"Yes what?!" I smiled and moved his hands away.
"There's no point, I'm stronger. I'm not like the younger ones that you can scare me by hitting me," I stepped away from him as he pushed me in anger
"Hatori!"
"Like I said, It doesn't matter to me," I shrugged and pushed him away. Wow… this… is actually scarier than I expected. It's thrilling though.
"You've lost one eye; wanna lose the other?" He smirked getting impatient.
"Is that a threat?" I asked tilting my head
"How dare you…" He hissed jumping on top of me causing me to stumble and fall down. Akito sat on top of me and grabbed my throat. He tried to strangle me. I laughed at his frustration.
"You're doing it wrong, Want me to show you Akito~ Sama?" I turned the table and when he was shocked pushed him off me and got on top of him instead. I then repeated what he did to me and placed my hands around his throat.
"I'll kill you!" He managed to choke out
"Go ahead," Suddenly he started laughing. I stopped and looked at him. He laughed as if he was making of fun of me. I was to confused to do anything and he finally stopped.
"...It's my turn," he pulled out a knife out of nowhere and leaped towards me, I rolled out of the way. He had managed to give me a small cut on my cheek but had done nothing more. "I didn't think you'd be this fast, oh well," He threw the knife knowing that I couldn't move out if the way fast enough! I shut my eyes waiting for it to hit me. I should've listened to Shigure when he said we can't do anything. I've become the reckless, stupid one…
Wait why hasn't it-
"You okay?" I opened my eyes and looked up to notice…
"Shigure!" Akito growled in anger
"Whats up?" He laughed. He had come on and grabbed the knife like some hero. "Oh wait, I know what's up… the knife!" He laughed, Akito frowned, I laughed a little,
"You-"
"Yes, yes I know, you don't need to get angry,"
"What-" he cut him off again and turned to me
"Since when have you become the reckless one,"
"I-"
"Also my hand hurts," he dropped the knife and held his hand.
"Show me," I looked at his hand whilst he complained. Akito jumped forward and grabbed the knife when we weren't looking
"Idiots," He walked over to us, Pushing Shigure he grabbed me by the collar. He then placed the knife against my neck and turned to face Shigure.
"..." Shigure sighed, Don't just sigh! The blade felt cold as I shuddered at the thought of it cutting me.
"Thought you could oppose me?" He pressed the knife against my neck in anger
"Akii-to," He almost called him that… "Let him go," he resumed after correcting himself.
"No!" Akito lifted the knife and pointed it at Shigure. Now's my chance! I pushed him off and turned to face him. Akito fell to the ground but stood up a few moments later. His face turned red as he clutched the knife in his hand. I could- but if I did… I looked to his hand then his face. No, I can't not without getting hurt even further. He walked up to me as I moved back. I backed up till I couldn't go anywhere. I felt the wall behind me as Akito stood above me.I stood up. Akito, noticing that I had got up, pushed me back down. He grinned and spun the knife in his hand.
"So… what happened to all that talk earlier?" he shook his head and sighed "Was it all talk?" He readied the knife, His hands shook.
"It wasn't," I looked up at him. He growled in frustration, "What? You angry?"
"Hatori-" Shigure looked over to us with a serious look.
"Stay there," I shouted, Akito looked between the two of us. His eyes looked confused, maybe even sad. I thought back to yesterday. Shigure… wait…. I looked over to Akito who had turned his gaze to Shigure. Shigure frowned at him. A moment passed until Shigure finally spoke.
"Hey… Akii, Are you… really-" Did he just? Akito cut him off, coming back to his senses.
"Don't call me that!" He yelled. He raised his hand in an attempt to hurt Shigure. I stood up to try and pull the knife out of his hand. He turned and threw me against the wall. My head collided with the wall.
"Ah…" I struggled to keep my eyes open. You can't…. I held my head in my arms and forced my eyes to stay open. Shigure spoke, but I couldn't make out what he said. Akito seemed to have been shocked by whatever it was. I tilted my head in shock only to have it hurt more. What am I doing? I should stop- I stood up, only to fall back down.
"Get out!" Akito yelled tossing the knife across the room. Shigure walked over to me and helped me up. He grinned. We left the room, only to notice someone was listening….
"Ren," Shigure stopped and spoke bitterly. I leaned on the wall for support.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I apologize on Akito's behalf," We nodded as she headed into the room. Shigure sighed and helped me walk.
"Sooo fake," he laughed. I stopped and held my head in pain.
"Ugh…" I moaned. Shigure supported me.
"Princess, shall I escort you to your room?" He bowed. I frowned and looked at him,
"No,"
"Well, princess, do I get something for my heroism?" He laughed again
"Oh yeah, sure~" I leaned over to him
"Huh-" he looked at me with a shocked look. I hit him on the head
"There, now let's go," he laughed and we walked down the corridor.
"Seriously though, What do I get?" He asked
"I'm considering letting you drive,"
"What! really?" He hugged me, I winced in pain
"Ow, get off,"
"Ahhh are you hurt?" He asked as I raised my eyebrows
"What do you think?" I frowned, "Now hurry up I need to see your hand and tend to my injuries,"
"Can I help?" He asked with concern
"Only if you're quiet," he nodded "Also don't mention any of this to anyone, only Ayame,"
"Yes sir,"
Things are changing, I won't let this go on. Today was just a start….
