Authors Note - The only good thing about being sick, is that it gives me time to write. So as last chapter I mentioned Akki's mental breakdown, I'm gonna have that be the main part to this one. Although, as usual, my version is gonna be different from the canon. So sue me XP As such, the chappy is gonna be on the short side. Akki's POV, and the rating might go up in later chapters...
Its been two days since that bitch escaped. No one knows where she is. Or so they say.
I hear foot steps coming this way, along with the voice of one of my maids. Hatsuharu yells at her rudely to go away. Yuki is with him as well.
Hatsuharu bursts into my room, with the maid berating him for being so rude. I excuse the maid, and ask Hatsuharu what is wrong. This is clearly a mistake
"Akito, why the hell did you torture Rin like that? She didn't deserve any of those things!"
What? Why is he acting like this? "Hatsuharu, I have no idea what you're talking about. Why would I have any reason to hurt Isuzu like you claim I have? It hurts me very deeply that you would think that I am capable of something like that." I gave him a smile, hoping that he would let the matter drop.
"Dammit Akito, stop smiling! Don't lie to me!" Oh God. I've never seen Hatsuharu this angry. Or anyone like this before. Yuki spoke quietly, "Akito, please. Tell him the truth. For his sake and yours."
They want the truth? I'll never give it to them. "Hatsuharu, I don't know why you are getting so worked up over that pathetic horse. I didn't do a thing to her. And if I did, you don't have any proof. Anything that she did, she brought on her self. Divine punishment of sorts."
Yuki had to grab Hatsuharu to keep him from attacking me. "YOU LIAR! You put her in the hospital! You broke her! I don't know if she'll ever truly recover from that! How can you be so cruel to some one that you have a 'bond' with? You're supposed to be there for her! Not add on to her suffering! You almost killed her! I HATE YOU!" Hatsuharu broke free from Yuki's grasp. I closed my eyes, fearing what was to come.
He struck me.
Kureno came in the room as I hit the ground. He and Yuki pulled a still raging Hatsuharu away from me. He stopped fighting back. As he turned to leave, he said to me, "I'll never forgive you."
Hatsuharu? No. This can't be happening. "Hatsuharu! Wait! Don't leave! HATSUHARU!" Come back.
Why? He said that they were supposed to love me. This shouldn't be happening. This is just some nightmare. It has to be.
I was trying to protect him. That's all. I didn't want to see him hurt by Isuzu. Was that so wrong?
Hatsuharu is one of the few friends that I had as a child. I can't accept this. I don't want to lose another person that I care for. Father, Yuki, Shigure, Hatori, and now Hatsuharu...
If only I could go back to those days. When everyone was still close to me. Back when he was still alive.
"Father...Father...please...Help me."
I can hear his voice, after so many years. Akito, everything will be alright. Father is here. I won't let them hurt you anymore...
