Chapter 13

Flashback

"Ok people, you all need to die."

Akito ignored every other word he said. 'How dare he try to kill my juunishi. How dare he try to take them from me out of sheer hate!' Akito's rage was building inside of him. He smirked inwardly. He had been waiting for this moment for so long.

No one noticed Akito falling back towards the wall, behind his horrified juunishi. Behind his back he drew the pistol he had been hiding in his pants. Pulling out the bullets from his back pocket, he loaded the gun. No one noticed due to the commotion, even that bastard of a mobster. 'How foolish' he thought.

Just as that bitch was going to fire her pistol, he shot him.

End of Flashback

Tohru stared, shocked at what she saw on the ground next to her. The man who had been threatening to kill her only moments earlier now lay with a bullet in his head, dead. She looked across the room to the people she now considered her friends, who stood in complete and utter shock. There was also Akito, who was gripping his smoking pistol with two hands, gasping.

Everyone was dead silent until Akito started to giggle. "Hehe…hehe… teeheeHAHAHAHAHA!" he sounded insane. Everyone stared at him. He put the gun on the floor and pushed the shocked woman into the apartment bathroom, locking her in. It was easy due to her shock. Everyone stared in silence at Akito.

"Well, I guess I owe you all an explanation," Akito spoke suddenly, "Well, to put it simply, that man is my father."

Some gasped, others looked over to the dead body in shock. After recovering slightly, they all looked over at Akito again.

"Yes, Sohma Akira is his name, and he is thought to be dead by even my mother. I was the only one who knew the truth. And we have always held hatred towards each other. I hated him for staging his death and leaving us, and he hated me simply to comply with my hatred. But somehow, his was worse. He wanted me to be miserable with all his heart. I don't think any of you noticed, but I believe he made a comment revealing that he knew the zodiac curse."

The audience grunted.

"Yes, well, he has always known the curse and he knows the God's relationship with the juunishi. So naturally he knew I was very attached to all of you. So, the evil bastard apparently decided that killing the juunishi members would make me miserable." Akito paused for a moment to think. "He must have found out about Tohru, and decided to lure you all here out of worry for her. How very wise. And he must have hired those girls over there to do it." He pointed at McKenna, Sarah, Sabrina, and Natalie.

They were all struck dumb. Sabrina fainted the instant Akito pointed at them. The others were incredibly pale. Natalie dared to speak. "H-h-he-e was go-oing t-t-o p-ay us on-ne –hun-un-dred gran-and."

"Wow. Well I'm sorry but now that he's dead he won't be able to pay you." Akito smiled ever so sweetly.

Hatori pushed through his family towards the phone. Then he dialed 911.
