A/N: Wow, sorry I haven't updated in a while, I had camp. I had to like, read the last chapter again to refresh my memory on where I was! Well, anyway, I'm back in business. I've also been thinking of another fic, where everybody goes on vacation together. (Contemplates). Anyway, onto chapter 13! (Le Unlucky Chapter).

"Akito-san!" Tohru and Kyo quickly pulled away from eachother.

"What do YOU want?" Kyo glared at Akito, his eyes full of loathing.

"Y… I leave you for one minute, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GO AND DO?" Akito fumed. "How disgusting! Yet how appropriate—Two monsters in love." The last word was spat out as if it was poison in her mouth.

Kyo advanced on her. "You have no power against us anymore, so don't even THINK about saying such things. YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE CURSE TO FUEL YOU."

"I—" Akito didn't finish the sentence. Her vision blurred and she swayed for a second, leaning on the wall for support. Not now… I can't afford to get sick… now… "Ugh…" She fell to her knees, face in her hands.

"A-Akito san!" Tohru sat up straight. "Kyo-kun, she—he's not well!"

Hatori walked in just in time. "Akito!" He rushed to her side.

"What are you doing now? You're free, you don't have to do this." Akito said faintly.

"Yes, but I am still your doctor."

At this point everybody was watching. Hatori began to pull down Akito's kimono.

"What are you doing?" Akito pulled away.

"I need to check you. Now."

"NOT HERE!"

"AKITO! Do you want to die?" Hatori asked sharply.

Akito was silent. "I… don't know."

"Akito-san?" Tohru said softly. "You… can't die… You shouldn't give up… You can't give up!" Tears were forming in her eyes now.

"F… Fine. Just go ahead and check me here. It's all over anyway." Akito took in one last sharp breath and let Hatori tug of the top of her kimono.

Several gasps shot through the juunishi as the binding on her chest was revealed. "Are you happy now?" Akito said bitterly. "I am a WOMAN. A weak, pitiful woman."

Nobody could believe their eyes. "Who… who knew about this?" Kyo's eyes darted around the room.

Kureno, Ayame, Hatori, and Shigure stepped up. "We did, because we are older than her, and we remember when she was born. We had a dream when she was conceived. I guess it was our connection to her."

There was a pause as everybody took this in, until Tohru spoke up, her voice barely audible. "I… knew. Kureno told me a while ago…"

"So THAT'S what you were telling her!" Rin gave Kureno a cold look.

"You've all found me out…" Akito's soft whisper interrupted them. "It… It's over…" With that last thought, Akito collapsed into Hatori's arms.

Everybody was shocked and anxious. They talked quietly amongst themselves as the night was prolonged even more. It was now about two o'clock in the morning, and Kisa, Hiro, and Momiji were sleeping together in one corner.

Hatori reported that Akito wasn't doing so well.

Shigure had been in her room by her side the whole time. She awoke once, and smiled at him. It was an innocent, helpless smile, like a child's. You couldn't help but pity her.

"She's dying isn't she?" Tohru asked miserably.

Hatori didn't say anything.

They instead looked out the door and across the hall and into Akito's room. She was lying there, holding Shigure's hand. Her cheeks stained with tears, she whispered quietly.

"I was supposed to be loved… I was told that I was born to be loved… I don't understand… Why nobody loves me anymore…" She lost consciousness again after.

The next chappy is going to be short, like this one.
