Chapter 7

Akito Was Wrong
Last time on The Curse I Never Had -Midori went for her usual Sunday check-up and everything was going fine. That is until Akito took her to that room to be whipped!
Oh, did you notice that in the last chapter, I never ever used the word said? I have this paper called "Said Is Dead". It's such an awesome paper that my English teacher gave me. I'm not sure where he got it, but I'm sure that you can find it somewhere on the Internet. That's all.
Yay! First person POV! I did promise, right?
I'm so scared! I don't want to be hurt! I didn't do anything, I swear! I thought.

"Ha'ri said that I should leave the Sohma Estate, so I went to go and live with Sensei and everyone. I didn't know that you'd be mad. I'm so SORRY!" I said, begging for forgiveness. It was no use. The whip hit my back. I knew that Akito-sama would only keep hitting harder and harder. The only thing I could do now was wait. I don't know what for, but I knew that I should just wait.

Right then, my waiting paid off. Haru-chan came through the door after hearing the whip crack. I was so relieved. He grabbed Akito-sama from behind and got the whip out of his grasp. He then threatened to use it on Akito-sama and so he surrendered. Haru-chan carried me out of the room and back to Ha'ri.

"What happened?" Ha'ri asked me.

"I have no clue. He just got mad because I left," I replied. "Haru-chan found me and stopped Akito-sama, although, I'm sure that Akito-sama won't be very happy about it."

"It's fine, as long as he didn't hurt you." Haru-chan told me.

"Well, Haa-kun, it's anything but fine," Ha'ri informed him. "He really got her this time. Her back is in pretty bad shape. Luckily, that's all he got. Everywhere else seems fine."

All of a sudden, I got his bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Haru-chan went black. He left the room, probably to find Akito-sama. I wanted to follow him, but Ha'ri said a firm, "No." He still needed to put the bandages on.

Haru's POV
"You Goddamn son of a bitch! Do you realize what you've done to Midori? You have no excuse to have done something like that! You'll pay for that you bastard!" I flamed at Akito-sama. This was going to be bad, but I didn't care. He deserved it after everything he had done.

I went in a rage and practically beat him to a pulp. I left the room and returned to go back to check-up on Lauren-chan.

Midori's POV
When Haru-chan came back, Ha'ri had just finished up with the bandaging. We sat around for awhile talking about this and that. And then all of a sudden, I couldn't breathe very well. I began panicking, which only made it worse. Just then, Sensei walked through the door and he rushed over to see what was wrong. As soon as he came to where I was, POOF!

I was a dog having an asthma attack! How ironic! Sensei had barely realized what had happened when Ha'ri come over and had an inhaler at hand. He had me use it and breathing became easier, but it wasn't enough. I collapsed and was sleeping away for hours. When I got up, everyone else was sleeping, except for one person.

I couldn't make out who it was. Ever since I messed up space and time continuum, I'd been having trouble seeing in the dark. It seemed that the longer I tried to see and look around, the darker it was. It's really hard to walk around at night to go and get a cup of water. Then I end up over filling the glass because I can never find the light switch! (A/N: ahem, back to the story!) Then the figure came closer and spoke softly.

"How are you feeling?" It was Haru-chan's voice.

"What happened?" I asked drowsily.

"You had a pretty bad attack. At least it was here and not somewhere else. You've changed back out of dog form. When you feel that you can get up, there're some night clothes on the end of the bed for you," he pointed at the end of the bed, I think...

"I can't see anything," I confessed.

"Here. Use this flashlight," he said handing me a mag light.

"What time is it?"

"About two AM. You've been asleep for quite a few hours, but I waited. I'll leave you alone so you can go and get changed."

I got up easily and took the blanket with me. I grabbed the clothes and felt my way to the bathroom. I made it! I thought happily to myself. I hadn't stepped on anybody, but maybe it was just because I had a flashlight to guide me, but I was too tired to see anything.

When I came back, I went straight back to bed, and didn't get up until eight. I found Ha'ri, and asked him if I could go to school.

"I don't think so. What exactly would you do it you transformed because of another attack? I think that you should just stay here and go back to Shigure's house at noon. You can go back to school tomorrow," was his reply.

I was actually disappointed to miss my second day of school. Oh, well, more time to sit back and think about my crazy life. What ever happened to me just being lazy and sitting around playing games and chatting with my friends who live, like, 1,000 miles away. I can't even fly around with my faerie wings (A/N: Remember, now,Midori can have any power in the world. Just in case you forgot.) ignoring every thought in the world. But now, I can't do things like that. Well, on occasion, I can play games, but still. It'll never be the same. What about my friends? They don't even know who I am anymore. My parents, they probably never met, or even worse, they had another kid to replace me! I thought worrying.

"What's with that look?" Ha'ri asked.

I had totally forgotten that he was there. "Just thinking about the way life was, that's all."

"Sounds reasonable. Kisa-san will be by later, if you want to stay after noon. She says that she wants to talk to you about something. It sounded kind of important, if you ask me. She sounded a little worried, as well," Ha'ri spoke in his usual monotone voice.

Later Kisa-chan did come and she had to confront me about something, and was very straight up about it.

"Do you like Hatsuharu-kun?" she asked in her small voice.

I looked around to make sure that nobody was listening. "Yes, why?"

"I just thought that you and Haru-kun have been together a lot lately. I was just wondering, that's all."

"It's all right, just don't tell anyone, especially Akito-sama. I think that you already know what'll happen if he does find out," I warned her. How did she know about all of this? (A/N: I didn't write about those two times, sorry! x.x I just didn't know how to put them in words, plus I think that extra long chapter should do more than enough to make up for it. I promise that I'll do a chapter with justMidori and Haru, later, I swear! Oh, remember thatMidori has only been with them for about four days)

"Yes, I know," was her sad reply. She started to remember her unruly encounter with Akito-sama. He had slammed her against the wall as she walked with Hiro-kun down the hallway. How could somebody not remember? She started to cry.

"I'm sorry that I made you cry, Kisa-chan! Please stop," I begged.

"Sorry, just got a little emotional. I didn't mean to worry you."

We spent the rest of the afternoon together and talked some more. We had a good time and then we had more visitors!
Who are these visitors? Yeah, I know, not a very interesting chapter, but I'm tired and I'm sad because it's 9-11 today. You're lucky that I found the strength to write. Thanks for bearing with me.
P.S. I still get flamed by a certain person who says that it's not possible to have "mixed" personalities. This is fiction and fantasy. I can do anything that I want to in this story and I don't have to go by science, now do I? Is it science to have people turn into animals? Well, the obvious answer is NO! Just please leave me alone about that stuff. I'm not mad, but I'm very displeased about this. Did you ever think that maybeMidori has had a difficult past like Haru? How about I tell you about it.

Midori has a black persona because as a kid, everybody teased her about all sorts of things. How she acted, how she looked, and lots of others. She has a gray persona because she was often depressed as a child as well (although she's still a child, more like a teen) so that explains it all. You cannot defy me because I am a writer and I can often be sad and mad at once. I will not go into further detail about this and will drop the subject. Buh-bye!

(I have talked to this person and they were just angry about something with MPD (multiple personality disorder). They have it and ya get it. I'm still going to point this out: You can get it as a young child by abuse and the child will try blocking it all out, thus making another "personality". There can be more than two, so I haven't broken the rules of real things out there. Now leave me alone about it, please! It's politically correct!)

And yes, I was teased when I was little, just like Midori. Please stay tuned for a happier chapter. (maybe)
