A/N: The sixth chapter, just for you! .. It's sad, so I'm warning you. Please treat it kindly, arigato!

Chapter 6: Sorrow and pain came crashing down…

"Come on, smile, don't cry anymore. From here on, I'll always be watching you…" - "Ain't afraid to Die"- Dir En Grey

I couldn't believe it. It hit me so fast, I couldn't react right. My body was numb. My mind was numb, I felt like I was falling. And there you were, watching me, watching Akito. Your eyes wide with fear… shock, utter disgust as you looked at my bloodied eye. Finally, the pain hit me and my hand shot to my face; to my eye. It hurt fiercely, but all I wanted to do is see if you were all right. I didn't care if I went blind, as long as you were fine. Please don't cry anymore, just smile. I was too weak to protect you, and to blind to see what would happen to us. I'll be watching you forever, only from a distance. - Hatori Sohma.

It was the moment of truth. Akito had to be told. Hatori straightened his tie and waited for Kana to finish getting ready. Kana straightened out the hem of her skirt as she walked down the staircase of the house she and Hatori now shared. "Are you ready, Kana?" he asked, his hazel eyes meeting her light purple ones. She nodded and smiled,

"We should get going, we don't want to be late!" They started off toward Akito's room.

A slender arm shook as a cold fall breeze caressed the pale skin. A cough racked the thin, fragile frame of a teenage boy. Holding out his shaking hand, a bird perched upon his finger. Dark blue-green shone with an evil sort of bitterness as the boy shoved his free hand through his short dark purple hair. "Hatori, wanted to see me?" a soft, gentle, yet bitter voice asked, as smile laced with bitterness and anger set itself on his lips. And with one last look out into his garden, the black dove walked back to his bed and sat down. His heart tainted with a bitter anguish, the type you shouldn't find in any teenager. "Please, do not make him wait, send him in." He frowned as Hatori and Kana both walked into his room, He watched as they positioned themselves on the floor- Hatori kneeling closer to Akito, Kana kneeling a few feet behind her beloved.

"Akito…" Hatori began, Akito looked at Hatori, wanting him to continue.

"Yes…?" he replied, "What is it Hatori?" he paused. "What is it that you desire?" Without anymore hesitation, Hatori said,

"Kana and I wish to be married." Akito's rage was building and in a flash of light, shards of broken glass went everywhere. Kana watched in horror as blood splattered everywhere. Hatori felt numb, he didn't move for a few seconds, only staring forward, his eyes wide. And suddenly, the pain hit him and his hand shot up to his eye. Shigure threw the door open.

"Kana… Hatori!" he ran over to Akito, holding him back. "Akito, calm down! Kana! Get Hatori out of here!" Hatori groaned as Kana crawled over to him.

"Why would I give him to you! I don't need you! You can't eve break the curse! I don't need you! I don't! I don't!"

"Akito! Stop! Calm down!" Shigure shouted, but to no avail. Akito kept on strong in his verbal assault.

"If Hatori goes blind, it's your fault! It's your fault! It's your fault! It's your fault! IT'S YOUR FAULT…!" Hatori's eye throbbed as he took his hand away from his left eye, trying to see if Kana was all right. Kana gasped,

"Ha…Hatori…" she held her head in her hands and began to sob. "Hatori… I'm so sorry…!" Hatori felt like he had just been shot out of the sky. It wasn't fair. Why did this have to happen? He didn't care about his eye, all he cared about was Kana. She didn't have to be sorry…

"Kana…" Hatori whispered, "Kana… no… it's not…" Tears flowed from his right eye, as he finished, "You don't have to be sorry…" Finally, they escaped Akito's room and left the maids to clean up the bloodied glass and tatami.

As days passed, Hatori felt as though he had fallen down into his cold, small, Sohma cage. He felt as if his wings had been clipped… and his beating heart had been ripped right out of his chest. He didn't care about his eyes, or what Akito had done to him. He only felt this way because Kana still beat herself up over him. She was getting sick- he knew what had to be done. But… wasn't there a possibility of her getting over it…? But just how long should he wait… what if she died?

He couldn't take it anymore. He broke down and cried.
