I have this really weird feeling today. I can't seem to figure out what is going on that is bugging me but… who knows. Maybe Clyde knows the secrets of the world. (Clyde is my cat. He is big, gray, and is my love slave.) All right enough about my private life on with the story.

Point of No Return

Akito's POV

Isuzu is a constant problem. First she and Haru loved each other. Of course I put a stop to it, but now she says she still loves him. Normally that would infuriate me…but right now I keep thinking. If Isuzu had Haru, and Haru had Isuzu, then Kyra would be free. Free from his emotions and free to...

"Akito?" Kyra inquired softly during one of our now frequent visits together. I had helped her through her weekend at home, and in return Kyra spent one hour a day after school with me. It didn't matter what we were doing, but slowly I was becoming accustomed to having her around me.

"What is it Kyra?" I liked to think that she had become more comfortable around me as well, but I am not positive.

"You just seemed really angry all of a sudden, but the moment passed. I just thought that you might be in pain or something." However carelessly she tried to pass the comment off as I felt touched by her genuine concern. (A/N I found out today for sure that Akito is a girl, but in my story he is not. Cause I would have to change a lot of things around if he were.)

"I'm alright Kyra, just an unpleasant memory." A cool breeze played with some wisps of her hair. I watched them dance in the wind but my amusement died when I saw Kyo staring at us through my window. I stood up and walked over to him.

"What do you want?" My annoyance was aggravated even more when Kyra excused herself. "Now look what you did you horrid beast. You cut my visit short." Kyo's fury was evident, but he kept it in check.

"I was called to see Hatori, to have my annual check up." His posture was rigid and he avoided my gaze. This caused me to smirk.

"Run along pussy cat to your appointment and then get out. I don't like it when people pry into my life so I would keep my nose out of my business if I was you."

Kyo's POV

"If I was you I would pull the stick out of my ass," I imagined saying. Instead I nodded slightly then continued on my way.

Haru's POV

The gate creaked as I pushed it open. I was alone because I had a detention after school. Just like I was suppose to have for the rest of the month. Some jerk off in our class was harassing Kyra at lunch again. Damn Saguri.

Flash back

"Hey there Kyra, I see you finally came out of your shell. That is one nice piece of … equipment you have there." Saguri commented as he approached Kyra as she read a book on a bench.

"Leave her alone," Kyo was the first to notice his attention to Kyra. By this time I was rushing across the courtyard towards them.

"Go back to your precious Tohru, Kyo. You can't have all the girls. Stick with the brainless obedient one right? So there aren't any questions?" He snickered and made a vulgar gesture with his hands. I saw Kyo whip back his fist to punch the guy, but I beat him to it. I leapt onto the culprit knocking him to the ground. Then I proceeded to beat him until he cried. Slowly I stood and wiped the jerk's blood off my hands.

"Got anything else to say you sorry piece of shit?" I reveled in my fury and laughed as he and his friends scampered away. Turning to Kyra I knelt in front of her. She glanced up from her book; she had ignored the entire event.

Handing me her handkerchief sheshook her head. I dabbed at my split lip. The guy might have been a wimp, but when instincts take over they always get one good shot in. I even began to think our little fight would go unnoticed until later in class when I was called to the office.

Normally I would have been suspended, but when I explained why I hit him we both got four weeks of detention and community service.

The sun was setting and I felt strangely content. Walking the familiar paths of the Sohma estate I felt happy. A door opened to my right as I passed Kagura's house. I lifted my hand in hello but I didn't bother to look at who had emerged.

"Haru." The soft voice had my mood dying and my blood running cold just at the sound. Glancing at Rin I felt exhausted suddenly.

"What." It was more of a statement than a question, but I was trying to be civil. Slowly she pulled a hat off her head it revealed all of her beautiful black hair gone, leaving a short shock of hair. Of course she was still beautiful, but her hair was one of the things I loved most. "Your hair, why did you… its gone." I was at a loss for words.

"It was time for a change." Her words meant more than what they appeared, but the tears in her eyes distracted me.

"Oh Suzu," I couldn't help my concern. It was an automatic reflex. She felt the same in my arms as she had when we were together. Nothing had changed. Well now she had a boyish haircut and I loved someone else. But did I really? What I share with Kyra is wonderful, but what Rin and I were… "Stop." I jerked away from Rin after I held her for a while.

My head was spinning, my senses were blaring, and my brain was being bombarded by a terrible cacophony.

"I have to go." With that I walked away from Rin and headed to my house. I didn't even speak to my mother. Instead I continued straight to my room.

Kyra's POV

The sunset was beautiful and I had a wonderful view from my window. A movement caught my eye and I watched Haru storm into his house. I pictured him jumping on that boy from school today and warmth filled me. Instead of feeling my accustomed fear, I felt protected. I had Haru, Kyo, Yuki, Momiji, and everyone and I know that each of them would protect me just like I would protect them.

There was a knock on my door as I beckoned who ever it was inside without taking my eyes off the sun set.

"Kyra, there is something I have to tell you." Now I turned and looked Akito in the eye and smiled.

"What do you have to tell me?"

"You know how Haru and Isuzu I mean Rin use to be together?" I felt unease grow in my belly.

"Yes."

"Well, I know this will upset you but I thought you had the right to know. I saw them embracing when he came home not ten minutes ago." A chill started in my bones and spread throughout my body. I blinked a few times as if I was dreaming and wanted to wake up, but every time I opened my eyes again Akito stood in my doorway telling me that Haru never loved me.

"I think you should leave Akito." I mumbled incoherently. Stumbling I sat on my bed and stared at the wall. He hadn't left after a few moments and my emotions snapped. "I said get out! Get out! Get out! I never want to speak to anyone again!" I stood, ran over to Akito, shoved him out of my room then I proceeded to lock my door and the window.

"Kyra? Kyra, open this door!" Akito tried to open my door after it had been locked.

"Go away," I whimpered and crumpled to the floor sobbing. My sanity itself was built in bad soil, and now the only good things in my life kept backfiring. I crawled underneath my bed and pushed my back against the wall, my favorite place to hide as a child. "Not good enough, no body wants me."

So sad. I feel sad for Kyra. But right now I think I'm on the verge of passing out so I'll stop writing. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. See you next time.
