((WHEEE!! Chapter 3! So yeah... this chapter explains a bit more about sheena and aki.... enjoy))
Bloody fist connected with the wall repeatedly. Sheena's forehead rested against the solid wood as she pounded I with her fist, the smell of her blood filling her nostrils, a dull pain pulsing through her hand and wrist.
They used to be friends.
Her and Aki.
She used to sneak out of Sohma house in the dead of night to see him, and they would play in the forest together, concocting a private world where they were normal and loved. Not that Aki wasn't loved, he had his father and mother who cared so deeply for him it hurt Sheena to see.
Why Akito had let Aki's mother do the things she did was beyond Sheena. An outsider knowing the secret, it was unheard of. And an outsider marrying one of the jyuunishi…
Tohru Honda must have been special.
Sheena and Aki had played together in the moonlight from the time they were five until they turned twelve. The night of Sheena's first kiss was the night of their discovery.
Since then things had changed.
Sheena had changed.
Aki had changed.
Their encounter today had proved that.
The closeness they once shared was a bittersweet memory in Sheena's mind, piercing her like a thorn at the thought.
She knew she had been cold. She always was when they saw each other now. They couldn't be friends so where was the sense in pretending their moonlit world still existed?
But the look in his eyes drove a knife through her heart.
Distrust. Fear.
He didn't trust her anymore. He didn't even like her anymore.
And she still cared too deeply for him.
Why had he felt sorry for her? And she for him?
They must have been stupid.
Stupid Sheena.
Stupid cat.
Blood ran in rivulets down Sheena's arm and the wall as tears wove paths in her cheeks.
Stupid cat.
