Chapter 16: A Happy Ending?
-------------------------------------- -----
"The way that the curse can be lifted is... that the head of the family has to ask for complete forgiveness in atonement for the sins that they have committed."
The occupants of the room went silent. The Yuki spoke up, "so what you mean is... that we have to forgive you... for all of the shit that you've done to us?"
Akito nodded, "But we all know that that probably is never going to happen."
"Damn right it isn't!" Kyo yelled, "You've done so much shit to us over the years, we've lost count of how much you've hurt us!"
Akito smirked, "you're still mad at me, even though I explained to you that all of this is those two girls faults?"
"You have no right to blame all of this on us!" Mizu yelled, "its you stupid ancestors' fault if you ask me!"
"Stop yelling! My head is killing me!"
Everyone watched as Sin sat up.
"Finally awake?" Haru asked.
"I've been awake, ever since he started explaining this whole "curse" thingy," Sin stated, "my head just still feels like shit from whatever they shot into my arm yesterday. Just how much of that stuff did you inject anyways?"
Akito turned around, "I have nothing more to say. Hatori, erase their memories."
Everyone's eyes widened.
"I don't have much longer to live, so maybe if your memories are erased... you'll have a better chance of convincing the next head to atone." Akito then left the room.
"Did he... actually think of our benefits before his?" Yuki questioned.
Torhu got up and ran after Akito.
"Torhu! Wait!"
----
"Akito-san! Akito-san! Wait!" Torhu called as she ran behind him.
He disappeared into a room. She stood in front of it for a minute before going in. the others arrived shortly after, but none entered the room behind her.
Yuki froze in terror, "this room... it had to be this room..."
"Yuki..." Haru looked at his frightened cousin.
"Come on! We have to go in after Torhu!" Mizu said, breaking the awkward silence.
"That's right! What is everyone waiting for?" Sin yelled.
The Sohma's just kept standing in front of the room, silent.
----
"Akito-san, why did you walk away?" Torhu asked, feeling her way through the darkness of the room.
"There was no point of me staying. I know that the curse will never be broken a long as I am head of the family." Came a voice from somewhere in the room.
"But Akito-san, there's still a chance! You have to try, while your still here! You're still here Akito-san! You're still—"
"Alive?!" He yelled, cutting her off.
"I already know what you're going to say! You already gave me this whole damn speech!"
Torhu flinched at the sound of his voice, "but... Akito-san..."
"Just SHUT UP! The curse will never be broken as long as I'm here! I don't blame them all for hating me," Akito trailed off, "I can't help the way I am... it's the way I was brought up."
"That's bull shit Akito, and you know it!"
The lights flickered on. Torhu looked behind her to see Yuki walk in, "Yuki-kun..."
"You say it was the way you were brought up, but you know that's a lie. You were jealous of us weren't you? You were jealous of us because you know that we could live our lives freely, despite the curse. You knew that you could never live your life!" Yuki yelled.
"SHUT UP! You have no idea what it's like to be told from the day you were born that you're going to die!" Akito retorted.
"Just because you're going to die doesn't mean that you have the right to make our lives a living hell! Didn't you ever think, just once, that if you treated us differently, that you wouldn't have to ask for our forgiveness? And the curse could already have been broken?" Yuki continued to shout, "but if it will help break the curse, then fine, I forgive you Akito! I forgive you for bringing me almost every day into this room and beating me. I forgive you for erasing the memories of all of my childhood friends, I forgive you for being a complete ass all these years and making me suffer because you were unhappy!"
Akito glared down at the ground silently.
"Yuki..." Torhu looked at him sadly.
"How can I forgive you Akito? How?"
----
"What's going on in there?" Kagura wondered, she leaned on Kyo for support.
"I don't know, but you can bet your ass I'm going to find out," Kyo growled.
He went over to Shigure and gave Kagura to him. He then made his way into the room.
"Why would she want to bet her ass?" Mizu asked.
"Don't worry about it Mizu," Haru answered as everyone else sweatdropped.
"We shouldn't just stand here! We should go too!" Sin protested.
"She's right! We can't just let Kyo go alone." Kagura agreed.
Slowly but surely, the group went into the room.
----
Kyo glared at Akito, "so, I'm supposed to forgive you ne? Even though you called me a monster? Left me out of every family tradition? I'm supposed to forgive you for making me miserable my whole life?"
"I'm sorry..."
"Kyo's right!" Kagura protested as she limped her way to stand next to him, "I remember how awfully you treated him. When I was little, he was the only person who cared about me. I hated myself, everything about myself, because you made me that way. That's how you are; you only see the bad qualities in people! Have you even tried to see the good ones?!"
"Please... I ..."
Hatori interrupted, "You took her away from me. You took away the only woman who had ever loved me. And I know that I will never be with her again. You've also given me the burden of having to erase innocent peoples' memories. And my eye—... Yet I still listened to you. I don't know who is the bigger fool."
"Hatori...I..."
"I'm probably the biggest fool here, "Kureno stated, "I always listed to you, not because I wanted to, but because I had to. But no more. Never again."
"Kureno..."
"They're right." Momiji interjected.
"I know they are...but..."
"They're right." Momiji repeated.
"Please... just leave me be."
"Akito-san, you're still alive!"
"Honda?"
"You have to try and get them to forgive you. Then you won't die! You're alive! There's still time!" Torhu exclaimed.
"Exactly!" Mizu chirped in, "There's always hope, as long as you have the will to live, you still have a chance!"
"A will to live?! What's the point if I'm just going to die anyway?!"
He was silenced as Sin slapped him across the face.
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself! It hasn't gotten you anywhere! Just be a man and ask for forgiveness! Not for their sake, for yours!"
"For my sake? Ask forgiveness...for my sake?"
"YES!" the three girls shouted in unison.
"You still have a chance to live out your life fully." Mii told him, joining the conversation.
"And you still have the chance to enjoy it!" Mine agreed.
"You're right... all of this time...I was just taking out my anger and sorrow on them... all of you...I'm so sorry. You don't have to forgive me. I don't expect any of you to, but please...for my sake...for all of your sakes...forgive me."
-------------------------------------- -----
Sin: Dum Dum Dum! Just Kidding! XD
Mizu: you're putting me in suspense here!
Sin: sorry . Just continue reading please.
-------------------------------------- -----
"Will all of you? Forgive me?" he pleaded.
"I forgive you Akito."
Everyone looked at Yuki in shock.
"I will forgive you, but not for your sake," he looked at Torhu, "but for mine."
"I... I will too." Hiro spoke up, "even though you hurt Kisa."
Kisa took Hiro's hand and smiled sweetly, "Me too."
"S-same here" Ritsu stuttered.
"Well, if Yuki forgives him, I do as well." Ayame stated.
Akito looked at them, a shocked expression on his face.
"I guess I forgive you..."
"Me too! Me too!"
"Same here."
"... Oh fine! Jeez, I do too!"
"If Kyo does, then I do too."
"I forgive you Akito."
"I guess I do too."
"I also forgive you, Akito."
The group turned and saw Rin (Sohma) standing at the doorway of the room.
"Why...? How could you? I've done such terrible things to you all!" Akito shouted slightly.
"Because... where true happiness is at stake...anything can be forgiven." Torhu stated.
----
"FINALLY! It's about time we got here!" Rin exclaimed.
"Kai drives so freakin' SLOW! Like an old lady with no legs! Like a blind guy in the dark! Like—"Usagi teased. {1}
"Will you SHUT UP Usagi! You guys owe me gas money!" Kai growled.
"Their electric signals are defiantly near by." Hana stated.
Yes, that's right, the rescue wagon had arrived. The quiet Hana, a pissed off Kai, and Rin and Usagi, who were dressed in army outfits and carrying enough guns to supply an army to boot.
"you two are crazy." Kai sighed.
"we have to help our sissy's!" Rin yelled.
"That's right!' Usagi agreed.
They ran up to the main estate, only to be greeted be the group of Sohmas and—
"Mizu!" Usagi exclaimed, running up and hugging her.
"hey! Where's my sis?" Rin asked.
----
"Are you still sitting there feeling sorry for yourself?"
Akito didn't look up, "you're still here? I thought you'd be celebrating with the others."
"You should be too! Now you get to live a full life!" Sin shouted.
"What's the point? My whole family hates me." He replied.
"God damnit, will you listen to yourself?! First you're afraid that you were going to die; now you're upset that you're going to live! Just get the hell up, go see your family, and show them that you're sorry!" Sin yelled. She then held her hand out to him, "don't make me drag you out there."
Akito blinked, then smiled an actual true smile and chuckled, "you're an interesting person, you know that?"
He reached up, and took her hand.
----
"Sissy!" Rin glomped Sin as she walked out of the main house.
"Rinnikinz?! How did you get here?!" Sin asked shockingly.
"Kai-San drove us!" Rin squeaked. She let go of Sin and bumped into someone, "Oh! Gomen na...sai..."
"No, it's my fault." Hatori replied. He looked down at Rin and blushed lightly.
Rin's eyes had turned into hearts as soon as she had seen him. "Wow."
"Momiji!" Usagi called out while running up to him, leaving her sisters side.
"Hey Usagi!"
"Guess what? I beat the final level in the game!"
"WHAT?! I wanna see!" Momiji pleaded.
"Yeah! Let's go!" she ran down to the car, "hurry up Kai!"
"Shut up already!" Kai yelled.
"Come on! Let's go out and celebrate!" Kagura shouted.
"YAH! PARTY!" Uo shouted.
"Crap! There she goes again!" Kyo groaned.
Yuki and Torhu, who had been holding each other, looked at the others, "Yeah, lets go!"
Everyone started walking out to the estate. Akito shifted uncomfortably.
"Come on! You're going too!" Sin ordered, dragging him along.
"Do you think they have karaoke bars opened this early?"
"Aren't we a bit under age?"
"Nonsense! MWHAHAHAHA!"
"He's scaring me Hiro."
"Maybe if we ignore him, he'll go away."
Mizu began to follow the group, but stopped once she noticed a certain person was missing. "Haru?"
----
Haru looked up at the main house. The curse was gone, and along with it, Black Haru had left as well.
Haru sighed, 'I wonder if all of this was worth it...' he thought.
"Haru?" he turned around to see Mizu.
"Come on, let's go!" She held her hand out and smiled happily. He took her hand, and together they made their way to join the others.
He smiled, 'yes, it was worth it.'
-------------------------------------- -----
{1} No offense to anyone who may find these comments offensive.
-------------------------------------- -----
Sin: Sniff I love happy endings.
Mizu: HEY! WAIT! That's not the end!
Sin: that's right, it's not. We're still not finished yet.
Mizu: Nope.
Sin: the epilogue is coming soon! So please stay with us, what's gonna happen to the group? Are their lives going to stay perfect, or is it too good to be true?
RR please.
