The boy confused her.
Everyone said that he was a boy, although his features were that of a young girl. He had big eyes and silky hair. His frame was gentle and everything about him cried elegance. As though he was a boy that was given the wrong body.
He had a gentle voice, much different from the other boys. And what confused her the most was how much he seemed to look like her.
She was the same, only she HAD been given the wrong body. Or so her mother seemed to believe. She was actually meant to be he, just like every God that came before her.
Perhaps the silver haired boy was the same.
In her eyes it made sense, he was always sick. He stayed in with her while the other children went out and played.
Even though the boy's big eyes always seemed sad, the girl was happy with his company. He was like the dolls that she had seen some of the other, normal girls play with. (They were forbidden for her, for she was, of course, meant to be a boy). He was a companion for life, who understood her pain.
Yes, she was happy with the child that was supposedly a boy. And she would wait until he was ready to tell her that he was not a boy. But a girl who had been given the wrong body.
Until than she would play with her doll with the sad eyes. Even if he didn't seem to wish her near.
"Akito, am I really that strange? Am I so strange that we have to hide it from everyone?"
The boy confused her.
The boy which was actually a boy. Her doll with sad eyes who had tried to make friends. Who had went to school and played with the normal little boys and girls. The boy who had been hugged by a girl and turned into a rat. The boy who was not in the wrong body, for a she would not have changed when hugged by a girl.
She did not care so much that he was not a girl, for Kureno wasn't either and he was still company for her. But the thought of the boy playing with the children, the normal children who she could not play with…This was not acceptable.
For he was her doll with the sad eyes. The one who had left to play with the boys and girls and had been hugged by a girl, and turned into a rat. A normal girl was not meant to play with her dolls.
She would not share her doll with the sad eyes. For he was hers, even if he wasn't in the wrong body, even if he was a he instead of a she.
"Yes, you are that strange. A human that turns into a rat? What do you think they would do if they knew? Really, you're a freak. They wouldn't come near you, they'd HATE you."
The boy confused her.
And he amused her.
And he angered her.
Her doll whose eyes were at one point sad and than they were glass, her doll that was leaving her.
After years of being hers, he left her house to go far away and yet not far at all. Her doll with the glass eyes had slipped away, even with all of her efforts to make him stay…
He had left and found another girl. A girl who is actually a girl, a normal girl. A girl who had hugged him and he had turned into a rat…And he had found acceptance.
The normal girl now had a doll, even though she had been growing up with them her whole life. Even though she didn't have to have secrets, and she was never sick. The normal girl was able to be a girl with her doll whose eyes were at one point sad and than they were happy. She never needed to worry about him or anyone else leave her…
And the girl who was meant to be a boy was alone, only with a lifeless bird whose eyes never changed, always glass.
"What do you think they would do if they knew? Really, you're a freak. They wouldn't come near you, they'd HATE you."
A/N: Alright, I'm not sure if the quotes are right. I couldn't find my Fruits Basket manga so I had to go online. If you didn't get it this is my take on Akito and Yuki. I got the idea and I had to write it…I have to say…Thank God for Akito being a girl! I've never had so much to write!
Reviewer's Corner (with my one reviewer)
Audley: Well Akito is one of my favorite characters (Shigure is my ultimate favorite) because I almost always love the bad guys. They always have a lot of depth to them and a lot I can work with. No one's ever born evil, something makes them that way. And to the other part, I know, I love Rin/Haru too . I just don't think Akito does…Well, please keep reading…You may be the only one. Hehe, thank you!
