Hello everyone. I have written a lot lately. I was so happy; my story was almost on the first page of fan fiction today. Maybe if I keep up all this writing then it will be tomorrow. Oh, and Hatori obsesser? I did know Akito was a girl a while ago, but I was never positive that it wasn't just a rumor until two days ago. So don't think that I'm totally out of the loop. I also know a lot about Haru and Rin's real relationship in the actual Fruits Basket series, so I'm trying to keep as much to the truth as possible. I did my research.
Point of No Return
Akito's POV
Her door was securely shut and the lock was on the inside. There was no way to open Kyra's door short of either breaking it down, or breaking her window. My head was resting against my folded arms on my knees. I could barely move from all the energy that I had used trying to open the door.
"Akito? Why are you sitting on the floor?" Hatori asked me. Glancing at him I sighed then licked my dry lips.
"Kyra has barricaded herself inside of her room because of something I said." The usually expressionless Hatori looked surprised.
"How did you manage that?" I reflected back on our conversation.
"I told her that I had seen Haru and Rin embracing at the gate this afternoon and Kyra flipped out." Hatori rolled his eyes and sunk to the floor next to me. Then he inspected my bruised hands.
"You are definitely still a boy, and are unfamiliar with tactics of the heart." Fury roared in my heart and I yanked my hand away from him.
"Shut up you stupid sea horse. I didn't ask you for advice." I stood up and stormed off to my room muttering to myself.
Haru's POV
I was still slightly shaken from my encounter with Rin and I felt I needed to speak to Kyra. She seemed to be wise when it came to unspoken feelings. The main house came into view and I prayed I would not encounter Akito. Lately he has been very interested in everything Kyra does and it was royally pissing my off.
I searched for Kyra's window to see if she was in, but I found it covered. A chill ran down my spine. I have never seen hat shade down before. Even when Kyra's sleeping she keeps it open so she can see the moon or the sun. Increasing my speed I ran into the building and to Kyra's door. Hatori was standing up from the floor as I turned the corner. He brushed dust from his butt then looked at me seriously. (A/N when is Hatori not serious?).
"What's wrong?"
"She locked the door and the window. She isn't talking to anyone and frankly I'm worried."
"But why!" My mind was racing. Does she know about Rin and I?
"Akito told her he saw you and Rin embracing at the gate today, and that she shoved him out of her room and locked the door after that. So I'm assuming… that is the reason why." The last part of Hatori's comment was sarcastic but I ignored it.
"Shit!" I leaned my forehead against the wall outside Kyra's room and swore repeatedly to myself.
"Well, I'm a busy man so I'll leave you to show that wall whose boss." Hatori's sarcasm pushed me over into Black mode.
"Fuck off old man," I said to Hatori's retreating back and I flipped him the bird. Then I turned to Kyra's door. I knocked softly. "Kyra? It's Haru. Can I please come in?" I could here a faint hiccup/sob and it broke my heart. "Let me in damn it." I pleaded more than demanded. I sat in front of Kyra's door for three hours before I gave up for the night.
The next morning I went to check and see if she had opened the door. A servant woman sat outside trying to coax her to open up, but to no avail.
"Please Miss, if you die of starvation we will all be so sad. Please open the door." There was no reply from within.
Eventually I trudged off to school an hour late. I didn't care. I pushed open the door to my classroom and saw the guy I had beaten up the day before. I didn't even bother to threaten him as I passed.
"Where is Miss Titsugumi?" The teacher inquired worriedly. Ever since Kyra had moved here she had missed a lot of school, but still she was one of the smartest in the class.
"She was sick this morning." Was the only excuse I could think of. I glanced at her empty desk and felt like a piece of shit. All she wanted was to have someone like her and I went and screwed it up. The teacher began the lesson and I automatically zoned out.
The lunch bell was a welcome escape from my thoughts. I practically ran to the cafeteria to find Yuki and the others. When I saw them I raced over.
"You guys have got to help me." I pleaded without introduction. Tohru's kind face looked terrified.
"What happened?" Her maternal instincts had kicked in.
"Kyra locked herself inside her room, refuses to eat, and its all my fault." I had always tried to keep my emotions to a minimum when I was at school, but now I let my tears flow. I pictured us breaking into the room a week from now to find Kyra's dead body lying on the floor.
"Oh Haru." Tohru joined me. At first she was going to hug me, but we all know how that would have ended so instead she rested my head in her arms. By now we had an audience and I felt anger replace the fear.
"Get the fuck away from us!" I screamed at the kids nearby staring at us.
"Hatsuharu Sohma! This is no place for such vile language!" One of the teachers scolded me. I replied by punching him in the nose. Once again I found myself in the principal's office.
"Mr. Sohma, two days straight. If you keep this violent streak up I will have to expel you. Right now you are suspended for the rest of the week." I clenched and unclenched my fists trying not to scream at the principal as he told me my sentence.
"All right sir. Should I go home now?"
"Yes, I think it best." I nodded then ran home straight to the main house. As I climbed the steps I encountered Akito and felt my rage grow again.
"What are you doing home so soon Hatsuharu?"
"I was suspended from school for the rest of the week." I flaunted the fact as if it might impress Akito. He just scoffed at me and walked back into the building. Together we walked to Kyra's door. It still stood unopened. "I think we should break it down." Akito looked at me and seemed to contemplate the idea for a bit.
"No, we should give her a little more time to open the door on her own." I knew I couldn't do anything without Akito's cooperation so I held me tongue.
"She has missed three meals already and she doesn't have any body fat or water so I imagine she can't last much longer." I tried for his practical side but he seemed to ignore me.
Kyra's POV
There were constant noises by my door. Easily I ignored them. My entire body was in pain from lack of food and water, but it was nothing compared to past pains or the pain in my heart.
"Kyra, please open the door." I could hear Akito ask through the door. The only time I had been tempted to open it was when Haru asked me yesterday afternoon, but then I picture him with Rin in his arms and imediately I went cold again.
It's no wonder he chose her over me. He has known her longer. She is beautiful, and from what I could see she definatley still cares about him. How could I have gotten my hopes up? There is always something out there better then me, and I should know that by now. It's what father always said. Why didn't I believe him? Because one can always dream. But now even my dream has been shattered. There is no reason for me to live. Yes people might be sad at first, like Tohru. But they will forget me after a week, a month at most.
I went to speak, to say 'Leave me alone,' but I couldn't. My throat was so dry I couldn't say anything. I would still cry, but there were no more tears. Slowly I felt my body sink into oblivion. This was probably the first time I had lost consciousness not on purose.
(A/N Normally I would stop here, but then I would just have to write the next chapter because it would be a cliffhanger. So instead of going through all of that I'm just going to keep writing.)
The Next day (lunch time)
Haru's POV
My butt had lost all feeling the day before and still I sat across from Kyra's door. My anger was simmering in the back round and White Haru was a fleeting dream. Just kick in her door, it's the only way. Do it. Do it! My mind kept yelling at me. By this time Kyra had missed six meals and had gone two days without water.
"That is it!" I exclaimed as I jumped to my feet. The blood rushed about my body leaving pins and needles in its wake, but I ignored the sensations. I lifted my leg and kicked the door with all my might. It only bent in a little bit and my fury grew. Within a few seconds I was viciously attacking the door. Clawing, punching, kicking, anything. I even tried some body checks to little avail.
Momiji came around the corner and beckoned me to follow him. I did and together we carried a thick log inside. We used it as a ram against Kyra's door and soon enough the door was just splintered pieces of wood. I was inside in a flash. Glancing around there was no sign of Kyra, but then I noticed a partial hand underneath her bed. Kneeling I pulled her limp body out from underneath the bed and checked for a pulse. It was very faint but there. Tears of joy cascaded down my face as Momiji ran to find Hatori.
We carried Kyra to Hatori's office and put and IV in her arm. Hatori tried to explain to me that it was to treat her dehydration, but I was still to stirred up after seeing her almost lifeless body. As he set up to leave I noticed there was a lock on the door.
"Hatori wait here a second." I ran to the tool shed and got a Phillips screwdriver, then I returned to the room. I proceeded to remove the lock from the door so she could not lock herself inside of this room. We left the door slightly ajar before we both headed home. Hatori had appealed to me to not stay there with her because it was me she was trying to escape from.
So how was that ending? Not to the series do not freak out, but to this chapter. I would like to know what everyone one thinks. I like to believe there are more then four people reading this story, so please review and let me know. Also I would love some ideas about what I should write next. So input yes, reviews yes, anything yes. Alright then I'm off for the night.
