SOTGD: I'm so fast.

Shigure: Really?

SOTGD: (glare)This chapter is going to be confusing. (that's the way it's supposed to be, but if you have any questions I'll try to answer them.)

Darkness. Migone was covered by darkness. It was cold, her breathing was hard, like she had been running. Her eyes adjusted to the dark. She was standing inside of the Sohma house. Inside of Akito's room.

She felt fear pulse through her. With that fear came a breeze. She looked throughout the room, seeing no one else was present, she relaxed. Her fear vanished. She sat down, near the window.

As she peered out the window, a hand came down on her shoulder. She faced the source of the sudden warmth, it felt so familiar. Akito stood there, his lips moved yet no sound excaped them.

Akito sunk down to Migone, rapping his arms around her waist. Mistrust clouded Migone's mind. She pushed him away. He looked hurt.

As she stared at him, he changed before her eyes into the horrid monster she feared more than any other. Irru. Her own father, he stood. Towering over her. Migone felt powerless. His hand came out slapping her hard.

Stinging came with the action. Windows shattered. Irru laughed. Migone couldn't hear the laughter, or any other noise. Silence. The one thing she hated, more than her curse, more than her father.

The pain of the slap intensified without warning. Pain and anger mixed. The floor erupted with fire, flames devouring Irru and herself. She felt herself fall. Alone. She landed on the ground of a forest.

She walked to a clearing, it had drawn her there. Akito sat with his back to her. She tensed. Akito turned to her, a small smile on his pale face. She returned the gesture. He came to her gracefully, seemingly floating, and hugged her.

She relaxed in his arms, taking in his heat and smell. Then he spoke....

"Migone! Migone! Wake up! Migone!" Akito's voice shattered her dream.

Migone's eyes burst opened, aches went through her body, her breathing was quick. Her dream was blurred, she could only remember Irru slapping her, and then Akito comforting her. Akito.

"Akito? Why do you awake me?" Migone questioned, recovering from the dream quickly.

"You have an visiter." Akito replied as he left the room.

Shigure walked in. "Well I see you gotten yourself hurt again, but how did it happen is my question?"

Migone had been afraid, if it would have been Irru she wouldn't be able to fight him off. She shrugged, if she told Shigure anything, Irru would be angry. Even Shigure would have had to face Irru's firey rath.

"What's wrong, you don't want to talk?"

"No... when you leave tell Akito to return."

"Well it's obvious I'm not wanted here." Shigure flashed a quick smile then left.

"Akito.... Why do I dream of you? Why?" Migone was confused, she had always dreamed of Akito even before she had known him. As she sat quitely and alone her mind wondered to her family, the family that had kept her locked away from the world, as a way to protect their secret. Their curse.

"Why are my emotions objects of destruction? Why is it when I become angry a erupt in flames?" Migone had ask those very questions when she was young, the answers had been given by Irru. Answers Migone could never except.

"Hatori I want you to look up the history of the Muragashi clan." Akito had decided long ago he was curious about Migone and her family that stayed hidden in the shadows.

"Should I stay here then Akito?" Shigure really wanted to go with Hatori, but he would need Akito's permission first.

"No go with Hatori. I'll stay here."

"What if you become ill?" Hatori wasn't concerned, they were in a hospital, Akito would get medical attention if he needed it, yet his only real illness was the curse so it would be hard to explain his condition to the staff.

Akito entered Migone's room in the late evening, it had been four hours since Hatori and Shigure had went to fine out more on the Muragashi's. Migone was sitting in the bed, her eyes fell to him.

Akito took a seat not far from her own. "Tell me about or family?" Akito's voice was more than forceful it was almost threatening.

"Why?" Migone wasn't affected by the way he spoke to her, she had been treated worse her whole life.

"Because I need to know." Akito's short patience was wearing thin.

"They are cursed." Migone spoke using no reference to herself. "They hide because they're fearful that someone will discover this fact and then they wouldn't be excepted."

"What's the curse?" Akito leaned forward, touching Migone's arm.

Migone simply smiled sadly, then turned away. "If I tell you they will take me away. Your family would no longer be safe. My father is very rash.... Please stop touching me."

Akito smirked but moved his hand with remorse. "When can you tell me more?"

"Never." Migone let out a sigh, as a tall, black haired boy came in, followed by a black/white haired boy (Haru).

"Migone, we have to go NOW." The first boy said.

"No Zeitaku."

"I didn't figure you'd listen, but I tried."

"Who is that?" Migone pointed to Haru, wishing to change the subject.

"Hatsuharu Sohma... he kind of lead me here, well actually I led him here because he got us lost. Good thing I read that last sign." Zeitaku shrugged off the mistake and took a seat a the bottom of Migone's bed.

"Did you come here to take me back?"

"No I came to see if you were o.k. Irru doesn't know I'm here, so I can't stay long. I think he's going to go visit you once you get back to the Sohma House. At least that's what that moron Teptean's been saying." Zeitaku looked at Akito. "Hey I didn't walk in on something did I?"

"No." Akito said with a slight blush.

This clearly amused Zeitaku. "Hey I've got to go. See you later O.k?" Zeitaku was half way out the door so didn't stop for a reply. Haru followed him out.

"Who was that? Your boyfriend?" Akito's tone was laced with jealousy.

"My brother." Migone was amazed Akito had seemed so angry about Zeitaku's visit, yet no emotions showed on her face.
