Author: The only character I own is Kira, and she is the Horse. I don't know who the horse is, so I'm going to use Kira as the horse. This is just a short summary, but my story is coming up soon.
Poem:
Broken dreams, shedded tears
Shaded away from the world
Kept behind the walls of the Sohma estate
By the cold orders of Akito
She was a bird of paradise
Pinned onto the ground
She was a horse, so free and wild
But because of the curse was gagged and bound
The fire that burned in her eyes
Died down to flickering flames
And she was kept behind cold tower walls
While the others of the Jyuunishi played games
"Akito, why am I not allowed to play with the others?"
The tears that flowed so freely
Stopped over the years
Her heart grew cold
Feelings became her fears
Her lonesome figure could often be seen
Wandering through the gardens
Akito became the only one she talked to, loved
She only wished he weren't her guardian
Yuki, Kagura, Kisa
They could never understand
Hatori, Ayame, Shigure
They wouldn't lend a hand
"Miss Kira, Master Akito wishes to see you..."
She went at his command
Obeyed his word as though it were the law
she smiled only in his presence
But he wasn't the one who could unlock her heart's door
He never hit her
As he hit the others of the Jyuunishi
He treated her as a precious stone
While he tortured poor Yuki
She grew into a blossoming beauty
A rose amongst the thorns
But at the age of sixteen
Her ray of hope was gone
And then, one day
She met Yuki... alone
There was something in his smile
Which she had never known
In the next two months
They fell in love
It was like a dream
Until the day they went to see Akito... the dream burst
He protested... violently
Throwing Yuki upon the wall
Kira tried to stop him
But he wouldn't budge at all
His hand flew out, and in anger
Slapped her hard across the face
Surprised and shocked
She flew quite a space
Her head connected with the wall
And with a dull thud hit the floor
A trail of blood against the white wall paper
The words she uttered were no more than a whisper
"Call Hatori!"
Hatori came
But there was naught to be done
Kira's fate was sealed
Her race, run.
In the end
Kira died
And Akito cried
And Yuki wanted to commit suicide.
But the story was woven
Time was irreversible
Kira was gone
They had to accept the truth, cross the hurdle.
"Why?!?!?!?!"
Author: I know, it sucks... but people, this is my second attempt and the whole story will be out once I finish the next chapters. OK? Please Read and Review... thanks!
