Hey everybody, sorry for such the long wait. I was on vacation in Brazil. Anyway this somehow turned out to be more than a one-shot. I guess that's mainly my fault. If there are any mistakes or misspellings, sorry.

Hatori: She wrote this very early in the morning.

Me: 5:20 am to be exact. So please cut me some slack.

Chapter 3

He hated dreaming about it. About that. About her. It always brought back pain and agony to his heart. The things she had done to him after she had finally gotten better, how she crushed his heart like it was nothing more than a paper cup, the things she'd said. They were forever scarred into his heart.

'Your no longer in my heart. I don't need you anymore, Akito..' While saying all of this, the look she had on her face was so cold towards him that it made his take a step back.

Sighing in a slight melancholy-state, he gets up from his bed to get dressed as another painful memory replays itself in his head.

Flashback

"She's what! Are you sure that she's alive Hatori?" An astonished yet excited Akito asks, hoping the dragon was not lying to him about such a serious matter.

"Of course. She was just released yesterday…but I don't think you should see her. She's not the same as before." The dragon warns as the head of the family rushes past him and opens the door. "She'll be delighted to see me Hatori. Just you watch. In fact, come with me. I'll prove it to you."

What he came across when he went to her house he was expecting. It was the same girl he had fallen for years ago. But something was different. She seemed more distant..colder even. Especially towards him.

"Akito, you left me in that hospital bed for almost a year and a half. Never once came to visit me. You're dead to me now. You're no longer in my heart. I don't need you anymore, Akito…" By the look in her eyes, he could tell she was serious about what she said, watching her as she turned to go back inside.

"B-but Makana…I was told--" She suddenly whirled around and glared murderously at him, causing the young man to take a step back in slight fear.

"No excuses Akito! You left me there to die. So I don't want to hear anything you've got to say." Just as she's about to say something else, an orange-haired teen comes out of her house.

"Kana-chan…what's wrong?" He asks as he walks up behind her, wrapping his arms protectively around the girl's waist. She seems to calm down somewhat, placing her arms overtop his own.

"See, Akito? I have someone else. Someone who won't leave me. Goodbye."

All the while, Akito Sohma just stood there, with his heart out in his hands only to get it stomped on. Turning and heading back to the car, Hatori could have sworn that he heard him crying in the backseat the entire way home.

Soon after that happened, Akito become sicklier. He had gotten cruel beyond belief and skinner as well. It was also during this time that Tohru Honda had come into the picture.

The first time he had seen her, made his heart clench in agony. Their features were just the same, save Tohru's eyes. Just like hers.

Flashback ends

'Never again. Never again shall I let that woman, or anyone else, get to me like that again.' A dark voice somewhere in the back of Akito Sohma's head said. And he nodded as he sat in his other room, looking out into the nearby garden and watched as the pink petals of the Sakura trees danced among the wind.

'Never again.'

The End?

R&R please. I think it sucks in my opinion and seeing as how nobody's reviewing, this will probably be the last fic ever done by me. Now I must sleep. Ja ne
