And Cry
"Akito-san? How are you doing? I'm here as you ordered .."
She is laying at the open window again . She turns to face me only slightly . She glares at me . Well , I know the reason for that . She remains in her place glaring at me . I smile innocently .
"So , what is it that you wanted me for?"
She turns her glare away from me and gets up to her feet slowly .
"You don't know?"
Oh , but I do .. However , what fun would declaring that be ?
She stands there glaring silently at me yet again . She's probably trying to petrify me with her gaze .. Trying to intimidate me .. I smirk at the thought . She notices that and is agitated .
"What ..? What are you smiling for !"
"Oh? I'm just happy you look so well ."
She marches towards me , her bare feet slapping against the floor angrily .
"Do you think I'm playing with you! What did you do this afternoon ? Tell me what you did !"
"This afternoon? Is there something in particular you want me to talk about ?"
My tone is cool and that proves to agitate her further . Her bony fingers grab the collar of my yukata rather violently .
"What did you do to him ? I know you did something ! Tell me , tell me now!"
I am not smirking anymore . Instead , my features are deadly serious . Why is it that she's so angry .. ? This .. fills me with rage .
"You know ? I suppose the little birdies told you ?"
Her grip softens for a moment then tightens just as fast .
"So you confess ?"
"Yes , I've bumped into Kureno this afternoon ."
Her eyes widen .
"And he asked for it ."
"You hurt him !"
Hurt him? It was just a slap . It isn't my fault he's a weak wuss .
"I did ?"
Now I've done it .. Her grip tightens even more and she tries to shake me senseless but I am too heavy for her . I am being shaken lightly . She is screaming at me . Something about 'how dare you touch what is mine' , 'You have no right' and 'who do you think you are' .. I am not really listening to her babbling .
I am catching her wrists and looking down at her . My expression is like my feeling , unreadable . She continues her screaming frenzy, failing to see what is lurking within me . And I hate her for that . I hate her for getting enraged for him . I hate her for screaming at me for him . I hate her . And I hate him even more .
But sheI really hate her ..
I am alarmed when she suddenly is cut off her screaming with a coughing fit . She struggles as her rapid coughs don't allow her a chance to catch her breaths . Her grip on me loosens and she is about to collapse . I hold her quickly . Servants rush in .
"Call Hatori right now! Quickly !"
The servants disappear in a hurry . I get on the floor , allowing my goddess to rest in a sitting position . She gasps for air from between her coughs . One of my hands supports her while I pat her back with the other .
"It's alright , you're fine , it's alright .." I find myself murmuring to her , reassuring .
She settles down , panting . Her thin shoulders move up and down in a hurried patter as does her chest .
"What is taking Hatori so long!"
"I .. don't want .. Hatori .."
"Huh?"
"I .. said I .. don't want .. Hatori .."
Her hands tremble as they reach to me . She pushes herself forward and clutches at my chest , burying her face there . Her breaths are still un-even and fast . I , with an almost expressionless face , quietly wrap my arms around her trembling figure .
I ..really …
Liked it? then review ..
Hated it ? then flame .. not!
