Chapter 5
Author's note: This will be in Akito's POV okay? And now I don't mind if you think I made this all up because I have changed so much things now. So yah...whatever. This will be the last chapter of my story.
-Chapter 5 Start-
"Akito-chan! Wake up sleepy head!" I heard someone call to me. As soon as what that person registered in my brain anger rushed through me. Who was this dumb ass stupid enough to call me 'Akito-chan'? Well whoever it was, was going to get their ass kicked by me once I was completely awake. I was taking my time getting up so I could piss the stupid one up. But suddenly I felt a sharp pain against my cheek. It was a slap. This made me open my eyes.
"Yuki!" I hissed at him. He, that son of a bitch, hit me! I tried to punch him but I couldn't for some reason. I looked to my back and saw that my hands were tied and so were my feet! I could not believe this!
"That's right Akito-chan! I tied you up nice and tight!" Yuki said in the most disrespectful tone I had ever heard. He was also smirking at me. I was getting angrier by the minute.
"You let me go right now! I am the head of the Sohma family so you have to do as I say! You hear me Yuki? Untie me right now!" I shouted at Yuki sending him the most cold and dark looks I could muster. Yuki's smirk only grew as he leaned closer to me.
"You're not really the head of the Sohma family…are you Akito-chan? I now know the truth. It was all in a little notebook that was hidden in the Sohma library. And this notebook…it's yours isn't it?" The tone Yuki used was dark, his eyes were twisted and even seemed…insane. He was actually starting to scare me. He knew the truth about me not being the head of the Sohma family. And the notebook….I refused to answer him.
"Where are we?" I asked him. I could hear my voice quivering. Yuki seemed amused by my suffering.
"Somewhere near the Sohma hot springs. Now back to the notebook. Is it yours or not?" He asked me once more. Once more I didn't answer him. Instead I gave him a glare. Yuki frowned deeply then swiftly sent his foot in my direction. When his kick connected I felt the side of his foot hit my face. Before I knew it, I was sent flying and then skidded on the cold soil. I swear I heard a cracking noise when I was hit. I heard Yuki coming closer to me once I stopped rolling. I gave out a soft moan of pain.
"The notebook is yours right!" Yuki hissed in my ear as he pulled me up by my hair. I nodded as my eyes sent daggers in his direction. I could taste blood in my mouth, the metallic and sweet crimson liquid….
"That's a good girl." He said to me, his cold and angered tone changing into a sweet one. He let go of my hair, letting me fall onto the cold dirt.
"So what do you plan to do with me?" I asked him in a rasped sort of voice. Yuki chuckled as he paced around me. He was getting so goddamn cocky. I could feel my anger rise along with my uncertainty.
"You don't know? And I thought you owned that notebook…." Yuki said in a mocking tone. My eyes widened.
"He could have…he wasn't talking about…." I thought as a wave of panic rushed through my veins. I could feel the fear sweep through my body. I started to shake and my eyes were watering. Yuki could see my fear. He was very humored by it. But he shouldn't be! This was going to affect him too!
"You can't do this Yuki!" I shrieked. "I said there in my notebook if I die you die too! Didn't you see it! We are connected! We have a some sort of bond!" My tears forced themselves out of my eyes. They were almost like waterfalls coming down my pale face.
"I know, I know. I saw it. You were frickn' screaming in the notebook. One letter almost fit one page when you were writing it down. It's kinnda hard to miss." Yuki gave me a face like he was talking normally to someone. Like it was some casual sort of conversation. I could not believe this.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" I screamed at him in-between my sobs. I was starting to shake even harder.
"God damn it Akito. Don't you get it? I will do anything for Tohru. I would kill myself a thousand times just to save her. Besides, you specified in your notebook that the two of us must die along with two other people who were cursed by the Zodiac Curse to remove the curse you and I must die along with two other Zodiac members. I would have gotten Kyo to help me…but I don't really know if the cat counts. So I had to get another one in Kyo's place." Yuki had a playful and dark smirk on his face.
"You…you're insane!" I hissed at him. He was going to kill me and himself! And not to mention two other people! What happened to him! Was this huge change the effect of Tohru's insanity!
"AKITO! Yuki! Ayame what is the meaning of this?" I turned to see Shigure with the look of shock and anger on his face. He looked at me then to Yuki then to Ayame. The blood in my mouth wasn't too sweet anymore so I tried to spit it out but it came our as a cough instead.
"You wanted to know what me and Yuki were up to. I told you I would show you my dear friend. So here it is." Ayame said in a gentle and calm voice as he walked closer to me. He brought me to my feet but I didn't really truest him so I gave him a hard time. After a bit he finally got me up and carried me gently. When I saw he was taking me too.
"No! Ayame! Please don't do this! Please! Don't make me die sooner than I have too! I'm begging you!" I wailed as I tried to get away from him, which was impossible seeing I was tied up.
"I'm sorry Akito. But Yuki-kun promised to love me in the next life if I did this for him." He whispered into my ear.
"Well sorry isn't good enough! You're going to kill me! You cannot be sorry enough for that!" I screamed.
"Kill her! Yuki! Ayame! What exactly is going on! Is this true? Are you going to kill her!" Shigure shouted. He looked like he was going to kill Yuki right now. And I was wishing he wouldn't and would at the same time.
"That's right Shigure. We're going to get rid of her. She is of no use to us anymore. I am the true head of the Sohma family as it turns out. So…I guess there is no need for her to live anymore." Yuki said like one of those cheesy bad guys on TV. No. I was just angry at him. He did sound like a lunatic. He sounded like me. But I would never actually kill someone. Would I?
"Yuki…have you forgotten that Akito is the core of the Zodiac! We need her!" Shigure looked to me. "And she is also my sister! I cannot allow you to kill her!" He hissed at Yuki. Yuki laughed then said,
"Damn. I was hoping you'd attack me now." Then in a flash Shigure did attack Yuki. His big and hard fist slammed into Yuki's face. Yuki staggered backward and rubbed his jaw.
"Ow…that…hurt." Yuki mumbled. Then he switched into a fighting stance and smirked at Shigure, taunting him. Shigure snarled at Yuki and charged at him. Again Shigure threw his fist at Yuki. But Yuki was quick. He dodged my brother's attack without any problem.
"Shigure! Stop! NO!" I screamed once I figured out Yuki's true intentions. He was going to kill me, himself, Ayame AND Shigure! We were the four he had chosen! But my warning was too late. Before Shigure could pull his fist back Yuki grabbed it, gave Shigure a dark smirk and refused to let go of his fist. Shigure was alarmed and he looked to Ayame.
"Why are you doing this Ayame? I thought we were friends! Best friends!" He shouted at Yuki's brother.
"Because Yuki promised to love me if I did this one thing for him. Besides, you will have all eternity to slowly make your way to forgiving me." Ayame whispered as he looked down. He was nervous. I could tell he didn't really want to die but he rather die than have Yuki hate him forever.
"Ayame! Don't do this! I can sense you don't really want to do this!" I shouted. Yuki glared at me.
"Shut up!" He turned to Ayame with a softer, kinder look. "Ayame…do it for me. Do it now." He said in a sweet tone. Fear and panic were rushing through me. I could feel cold sweat dripping down my face. Ayame nodded and started to walk backwards.
"Ayame! What are you doing!" Shigure shouted as he tried to pull away from Yuki. But he couldn't. Yuki's grip was so strong Shigure could only watch as Ayame walked backwards, carrying me in his arms.
"Shigure…I know you will forgive me. You will have all eternity to do so." Ayame said as he started to fall back towards the cliff. Then Yuki let go of Shigure then and there. Shigure sprinted towards Ayame and I, arms extended.
"Akito!" Shigure shouted. I felt myself falling. I could see my raven colored hair beside my eyes. I was really…going to die.
Slowly my eyes opened. I tried to sit up from the mat. I couldn't and panic spread through me.
"Help me! Someone! Why am I tied here?" I screamed. I looked up to my hands and saw they were full of cuts. What was going on. I couldn't remember anything. The house was so quiet that it was scaring me.
"Kyo! Yuki! Help me!" I screamed again, louder than the last time. I heard someone running up the stairs and felt relief. Finally someone was going to help me out of this and tell me what was going on! The person ran into the room. It was Kyo. But he looked so…different. His eyes were sunken, he was a lot paler, his orange hair was a mess.
"Tohru?" He whispered so softly I almost didn't hear him. Why was he asking me that question. I was me. I was Tohru…right?
"Um…yes Kyo. It's me Tohru. Um…could you please save me?" I asked him in a shaky voice. I was so scared now. What happened to me? Kyo studied me for a while. Why wasn't he helping me! I was tied up! Did I do something wrong? He slowly took a step towards me. He seemed to have gotten paler now.
"I see. You're…back." He whispered as he started to untie the ropes that tied me down. Once the ropes were gone I sat up from the mat and stared at him. I had so much questions now.
"What happened Kyo? Why was I tied up?" I asked him. I couldn't stop my voice from quivering. I was so scared. His eyes started watering up. Now I was really starting to become scared.
"Kyo! What's wrong!" I asked, becoming more frantic by the second. He didn't answer me. He just took out a small black notebook from his pocket and handed it to me. He then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed that to me as well.
"It's a…letter from Yuki." He whispered as he sat down beside me quietly. My eyes scanned the note before I actually read it. When I did read it I could feel tears stinging my eyes. He couldn't have! Sweet, caring Yuki could not have done that! I looked to Kyo as the tears fell down my face. He was just looking in to space. He was feeling sad as well.
Why Yuki? Why?
