((A/N: I'm so happy! My sister and I got our report cards in the mail and I'm not grounded! YAY!

Well.. I Do Not Own Fruits Basket.. As much as I've attempted to steal it, I always seem to fail.))

What A Family:

He'd woken up early to the pitter patter of the rain. It'd been raing a lot lately. He guessed that it must be sring or summer by now, since the heat. Of course, he was never outside long enough to find out. He could only guess by the heat of the house.. Maybe Hatori turned up the heat just to get on his nerves. Maybe Haru forgot what the heat button did and pushed it. Whatever the reason was, it was everyone's fault. How could he be held responsible for something that he couldn't controle? He was becomming weaker and weaker as the days passed. He was dying and he knew that his family was overjoyed. They'd have a new leader soon. They wouldn't miss him. He didn't need them to. He didn't need anyone to love him. He wasn't weak like the pathetic excuse for humans that called themselves his family.

Family. What an odd word. There are so many different ways to be family. You could be like him, related to people, but they weren't your family. If they didn't love you, they weren't.. family.. He was content having nobody care about him. Really. He didn't know who he was trying to convince. He for one, did not believe himself. Sometimes he regretted doing all the horrible things he did. Those were the moments that he was happiest about dying. His strength was slowly fading. His vision was beginning to blur. He smiled weakly. Here it was. Here was the end. He found himself in a dark tunnel, traveling toward a bright light. He felt weightless. It was wonderful. The light disappeared revealing that he was still sitting inside his bedroom. He walked over to the window and leaned aginst it's sill. This was where he wanted to die. This was where he wanted his life to end. He watched as the rain slid down the glass in long rivers. He looked into the distance to see Haru and Momiji returning from school. He closed his eyes. Yes, this was where it was going to end. He smiled faintly as his vision went black.

((Two days later))

Everyone walked to the casket to pay their respect for the man who had taken it upon himself to make their lives a living Hell. He looked as calm as if he was just sleeping. Hatori had been more than shocked when he found Akito leaning aginst the windowsill - dead. Clutching a bottle of aspirin in his pale hand along with a small note. Their leader had taken his own life. Writing his words of farewell on a slip of paper. Explaining that, it would be best for the family... If they didn't have to suffer anymore. In the end.. The biggest favor he'd done for his family, was take his own life.. And they couldn't be happier..

What a family they are..

((A/N: It's corny, odd, and about Akito. The idea'd been bothering me for awhile.. Well, Please review and tell me what you thought!))
