The group walked quietly. Aisu holding Akito's hand Hatori walking behind Aisu and Akito. Yuki, Tohru, and Kyo walked a head of the other three. Soon they reached the school and they all walked in, they headed toward the meeting room and they all took their seats in the audience while Ai ran up to be with the other students. She sat quietly keeping away from everyone so she didn't worsen her condition. She was quiet till a boy walked over and sat on her the blue light covered his and her body as he jumped back and everyone from the Sohma family rose in a panic.
The Youth fell forward breathing heavily as all the teachers panicked and went to touch her but was stopped by Hatori's loud voice.
"Don't touch her!" he said as he hurried up the stairs to the stage and wrapped her in his jacket. Tohru on the brink of tears as she watched Hatori carrying the youth, sweat dripped down her face as she panted. 'Hang in there' he though as Akito took the youth from Hatori and held her close as he glared at the boy and his mother.
"This is your fault." Akito snapped as Hatori pushed him out of the meeting area the whispers got louder. He looked at her sadly as she moaned in pain into his chest her panting quickening. "Hatori." he stuttered looking at the youth. She was coughing and her fever was extremely high.
Once they reached the main house she was rushed into the Hospital. Hatori placed a wet rag on her forehead looking for his medication. He injected a red liquid into her body and kept changing the cloth as everyone waited in the halls. He looked at her sadly as she coughed and her body shook with the high fever. It was painful to look at as he did all he could do and assigned a nurse to change her rag as he walked outside.
The hallway was silent and the quiet sobbing of Tohru and Yuki comforting her was all that was heard. Akito surprisingly was sitting beside Kyo his head in his hands Kyo biting his lip as he gripped his fists.
"How is she?" Yuki asked glancing up at Hatori. His face as pale and concerned.
"Not Good." Hatori answered as he glanced at the people around him. "She is unstable and we can't break her fever…" He said quietly.
The hallway was silent till the hospital door busted open, "Hatori! The girl she is slipping in a state of cardiac arrest." she said as she hurried back into the hospital. Hatori hurried after her and opened the curtain looking at the speed of her heart rate and panicked.
"Hang in there Ai…" he whispered injecting a medication that slowed her heart rate and sighed as he sat in the bed and hugged her holding in his tears, "Don't do that." he said quietly. He got himself together as he sat in the chair beside her he whipped his eyes as everyone else hurried in and the steady pace of the small child's heart was the only nose the group listened too.
Akito looked at the child anger, pain, sorrow, and heartbreak was plastered on his normally emotionless face. He didn't care who saw him in such away now all that mattered to him was the child sleeping in the hospital bed.
"Leave all of you!" He snapped waving his hand in the direction of the door. He watched as the group hesitantly walked out the door. He looked at her sadly as she pulled the sheets off her and sat her up in the bed as he slipped off her jacket. He sat behind her and pulled her into his chest her head lay limply on his arm. He creased her cheek as she opened her small orbs.
"Morning Akito-sama." Aisu said weakly as she nuzzled into his chest.
"Sleep now Aisu." Akito said quietly as she fell asleep and her heart stopped the horrible sound of a long beep rung through the hospital. He knew she would leave him soon anyway. He nuzzled into her cold shoulder as Hatori walked in to see the master of the family crying into the corpse of his only true lover.
The news of Aisu's passing spread quickly through the Sohma household. Tohru was left in tears. Kyo blamed himself, as did Hatori. Yuki hadn't left his room and Akito wouldn't let go of her body. He just sat in the Hospital his face in her shoulder. He sighed heavily as he creased her face and finally looked up at the world. The truth hit him hard and he knew it was his fault she had gotten this bad. He kissed her blue lips as he finally parted from her leaving her cold body limp in the Hospital bed. His mind misted by pain and guilt for himself. His illness was gone and so was the possibility of the curse being broken. He slammed his fist into the near by wall his dark purple hair falling in his pale face, he felt like crying, but no, not Akito the head of the Sohma family. Crying for him it was out of line.
Aisu sighed heavily as she remained invisible over her cold body. Her face tear stained she felt like crying some more but she had cried enough. Her hand was placed on her pale face as she sighed. A voice was heard behind her it was soft and quiet, a loving motherly voice. She turned around and faced an angel. Her long blonde hair in her face as she spoke quietly.
"Hello there little one…" The older women smiled as she sat herself on the hospital bed. Her blonde hair over her shoulders in a braid her blue eyes soft and caring. She seemed familiar somehow. "You passed way to early for your time…" the older female nodded as she placed her hand on Aisu's human body as a heartbeat started once more. It called the attention of all the nurses as they looked at her body not seeing Aisu or the female sitting on the bed. One of them smiled and hurried out into the hallway leaving Aisu rather confused but her attention was turned back to the angel.
"So am I a live again but I am still here…" Aisu said tapping her ghost like body. She sighed heavily not understanding what was going on. "I am confused." she said quietly as she sat beside the female.
"Well I am Arith I have been watching you since birth and well you still have a big job to do for this family…" Arith nodded as she smiled softly. "Your job now is to listen to things you could never before. Even talk to people through dreams and try to help everyone then do your best in person." She nodded and smiled; "yet your body is going to remain in a coma till I come and put you back. So you still hold a dead like appearance and get to see your affect of this family. " She nodded and smiled patting Aisu's head. "Yet once you wake up you'll have to prevent your second death till the time is right." She nodded and placed her hands on Aisu's cold ones, "You won't remember anything or anyone once you wake up you'll have to learn everything from scratch, also you'll still be baring Akito I recall his name being, Illness. It will be a little complicated and there is a lot riding on you. " She nodded, "plus you won't remember your feelings for anyone. You'll have to build relationships form scratch." She nodded and patted her head once more.
Aisu nodded as she took everything in. She was upset that her feelings for everyone would be forgotten till she remembered and that could take years. She sighed as she nodded her head.
"I agree to those terms," she said quietly as she looked over Arith. The youth was determined. Nothing would stop her this time.
