Chapter 10: The Bunny and the Rice Ball part 2 of 3
I bowed on my knees to Akito, he was as demon-like as ever, I shook in fear knowing the pain I'd have to face. "Do you think you had the right to be around somebody who isn't apart of the family?" he asked.
I kept my head down in shame, I could only think of not ever seeing Tohru again. "ANSWER ME!" he yelled, I flinched and felt myself shake violently. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,!" I kept repeating as I had begun to cry.
I'll be punished, Akito – I should have known he'd be mad at me for what I did, I didn't care...
"That's right, and I should erase that girl's' memories as your punishment!" he yelled laughing at me.
I looked up, "NO, p-please, don't erase her m"- I fell backward as Akito kicked me in my face.
I groaned and pain as I tensed up and grabbed my noise as it bled, I sat up.
"P-Please d-don't "I muttered before being kicked back down again. I shuttered, "Why the hell you are so worried about what happens to that girl? I am god, have you forgotten that?" Akito yelled. I struggled to get up, and I felt my whole face wet with blood and I wished I hadn't been wearing my good shirt. I knew Tohru really liked how this one looked on me; she said it herself.
"You can hurt me, as much as you want… Just please, don't erase her memories" I muttered.
Akito's teeth bit down on his lip, his fist became tight with rage and I swallowed hard. There's no way that Tohru can lose her memories… Even if I never get to see her again, I don't want her to forget me, or Yuki, and even Kyo.
Even if I can't be happy with her, at least she can be happy with someone else. "What the hell is it about her that everybody likes so much?" Akito growled. I shrugged and rolled to my side, "I love Tohru" I smiled happily. Akito looked at me in shock and his head fell in shame.
"Akito, you have someone like that, that you really like; that you favor more than everyone else.
Someone who you'd die for, Tohru is mine" I muttered. I sat up, "A-And I think I might lose her if I don't give it my all, but I can't if I never see her" I cried wiping my eyes.
Akito walked backward till his back hit the wall, "That's stupid" he whispered. I lost my breath for a moment, how could he call something like that stupid? "There's nobody, nobody who could love anybody in this family; nobody who could love someone like me!" he hissed banging his fist on the wall.
I smiled weakly, "Just what the hell are you smiling at, you'll never be happy, you'll be just as lonely as everyone else in this house!" he cried violently.
"She loves you, despite everything, Tohru loves you too Akito…" I whimpered in a hushed tone. "Shut up!" he ordered. I stood up and he was shocked, what an expression he made; one he's never made before.
"I'm sorry I can't" I smiled as my face throbbed painfully and I felt faint. Akito looked at me painfully and grabbed my shoulder, "You have to stay by my side, and never leave me! Please don't, you can't abandon me, you have to stay away from that girl!" he cried.
I moved his hands, "I have to see Tohru now" I muttered before turning away from Akito. For the first time in my life, I feel like a curse has been lifted from my shoulders.
The Sohma curse that is.
I walked to Shigure house, and I knew I wanted to see Tohru. I felt different, taller, more in-tune with life. As if had a new understanding of it. Tohru was outside of the house, and I turned her around, she looked up to me in shock. I'm not sure if it was because I was bloody and bruised or because I had gotten so tall. I grabbed her shoulders around her gently and I kissed her not caring about the people around us. Then I smiled bravely into her eyes, "I love you, be with me forever."
