The Angel Within
"I will not allow" came a girlish voice
"Allow what sir?" a more restrained male voice was heard
"I will not allow that silly little girl to remain, Hatori I order you to wipe that girls memory" a slight shuffle was heard as a shoji was opened, a figure wearing a black and soft pink robe slowly moved out looking behind him as Hatori spoke up again
"Are you sure that is wise sir?"
At this statement the other turned around face set in a hardened glare staring straight at Hatori "Are you trying to disobey me?"
"No Akito I was merely asking" Hatori voice would have sent chill to the normal ear as it was as cold as ice
"Good" was all Akito replied before turning round and stalking out of Hatori's room
He watched as Akito left his head hung low though to the normal person he would have not moved an inch to him he had moved a mile, his emotions while restrained cried out in sorrow
Tohru slipped on her shoes as she reached the door and she slowly walked outside and shut the door with a smart snap. Tohru fastened her coat and walked forward. 'I at least want to say goodbye to Yuki' she thought slowly to herself. After a few paces Tohru stopped and turned around her eyes focused on the roof. "Goodbye Kyo" she called up to the cat as he sulked on the roof as normal. All she got in return was a sort of grunt mixed with something sounding like 'whatever'. Tohru smiled and turned around again walking slowly through the woods. Soon she arrived at Yuki's secret base and for a moment she stood in silence staring at him. Yuki was kneeled next to his vegetable patch and was tending to them but his animal senses told him of her presence. Yuki straightened up and turned around his eyes met Tohru's and he smiled. "Hello Mrs. Honda" he said simply in his dreamy voice.
"Hello Yuki" she smiled
"Weren't you planning on going out this afternoon?" he asked. Tohru nodded and smiled "Yes I'm getting picked up shortly" she smiled at him. "I just wanted to say…I just wanted to say goodbye" she said softly "So Goodbye Yuki". Yuki didn't say anything he just stood with his mouth slightly open staring at Tohru in surprise. "Uh…right" he said after a moment.
Somewhere in the distance a car horn sounded and Tohru looked round, then back at Yuki. "Goodbye" she said again she then smiled before she turned around and ran. Yuki stared after her, he was so sure he had seen something in her eyes when she had said goodbye something like regret. Then the way she said goodbye, it sounded very, very final to Yuki as though she didn't expect to see him again. "Goodbye" Yuki whispered. Yuki then finished up what he was doing and walked back to the house still wondering.
Tohru sat inside a large room on the cold wooden floor, she felt uneasy about what was about to happen. 'Oh mom' she prayed to herself silently. Some slight movement near the doors caught her attention she turned her head and saw Momiji standing at the door. "Oh Momiji!" she exclaimed a smile across her face, but Momiji didn't say anything he just looked sad and he turned away so that Tohru could no longer see him. The smile slipped from her face and she focused her attention on her hands, which were in her lap, she heard more movement and Tohru was almost afraid to look up. "Do you understand?" Tohru's head shot up and she saw Hatori standing this, his face as cool as ever but handsome his hair fell over his left eye and for once he was missing his white coat. Hatori was wearing dark trousers and a white shirt his tie was loose and his top button was undone, he had his hands in his pocket. Tohru nodded grimly to show she understood. Hatori was stood in the doorway and he walked forward his cold eyes fixed directly upon her. "Um…Hatori" she muttered her voice echoing sweetly. Hatori said nothing but he was listening. "Can I would I still be able to be friends with Yuki and the others. Hatori paused before he answered he stepped forward so he was stood in front of Tohru "No you will not be able to see them again you will only be able to speak to them if it relates to school matters" Hatori said his voice still emotionless. Then Hatori kneeled in front of Tohru his eyes fixed on her, and then he looked away and sighed. "Close your eyes" he instructed. Tohru hesitated before complying but she put her trust in Hatori and she closed her eyes.
Hatori raised his hand and put his thumb and middle finger on either side of Tohru's eyes, his palm covering them. Tohru shuddered and was still 'Oh mom I really don't want to leave Yuki, Kyo or Shigure' she thought. The scene hung for a moment and then Hatori's voice shattered the silence. "I'm sorry I really am" he whispered. Then the strangest thing happened a single tear fell from Hatori's left eye and he closed them and pushed with his mind. He thought of the Sohma family and the zodiac curse and only that and he pushed and pushed. With a flash of white light Tohru was blown backwards by some invisible force, she lay sprawled on the floor her eyes closed her hair fanning out around her. Hatori was still kneeled with his hand in the air; he let it drop to his side and stood up. The room looked even darker and depressing to Hatori and the sight of Tohru on the floor tightened his heart. "I'm sorry," he whispered again. Then Hatori swept out of the room just as Akito swept in, the two eyes met an there seemed to be some inner struggle in Hatori's and Akito noticed that and his own eyes flared with anger. "Is it finished?" Akito asked his voice cold and harsh. Hatori stepped passed him. "It is," he said simply before walking away. Akito watched him go and then turned into the room, he slid the door closed behind him and then went and sat against a wall, the light was fading as the sun set. Akito sat and waited for Tohru to wake up.
Tohru stirred her head hurt so badly she thought she was going to scream at first but then the pain subsided and her eyes flickered open. Tohru saw Akito's face swim into focus, she shook her head slightly and blinked several times. "A…A…Akito" she muttered. The smile fell from his face "You remember!" he hissed. It wasn't a question. Tohru sat up and looked around the dark room. "Yes" she whispered. Akito stood up and she remained seated, she shook her head. "The Sohma's" she muttered. "Yuki and Kyo" she muttered again. Akito stood in front of her just as Hatori had. "I suppose I better go" she muttered again and stood up. Akito moved so fast Tohru didn't see it coming. Akito grabbed her hair and struck her round the face with his free hand. "No! I'm not finished with you yet!" he screamed, he hit her again with such force Tohru was thrown into the wall, she slid down it in a heap.
Her throat seemed to have frozen, her heart was beating so fast she thought it would burst her eyes were wide with horror. Akito dragged her to the centre of the room and forced her to look into his eyes. "We don't need you" he hissed softly "Your worthless to us!" he pushed her away from him and she fell to the floor. Just then his foot seemed to come out of no where and it hit her sharply in the chest and fire spread throughout, then he kicked her in the stomach. Tohru curled into a ball as he continued to kick every part of her he could reach. Akito pulled her up so she was kneeling and again he looked at her and punched her in the face. Tohru felt her body fly backwards into the wall once more, a gruesome crack echoed through the room and Tohru felt pain seep through her right arm as she slumped to the floor. Tohru didn't brace herself she want even surprised at the inevitable bows from Akito that followed, she just lay there limp. Her vision fading her hearing vanishing, her breath coming in painful, harsh ragged breaths. Just before everything blacked out, just before Tohru thought she would die she heard a cold harsh laugh that etched itself into her mind, to stay with her forever.
The house was a wreck, there were laundry piles in every corner imaginable, the fridge was empty and the stove was black from failed attempts at cooking. A small soft gurgle broke the silence as for the hundredth time Shigure's stomach rumbled, he had resigned himself to his study when they found Tohru had gone missing. Kyo had done his famous act and had not moved an inch from the roof since the night she left only coming down for the odd toilet break other wise he would not move, his temper from that day had gone from bad to worse to unbearable even the very day seemed to annoy him and Yuki had stayed away as well day to day he would almost always be at his secret base tending to the fresh strawberries that were ready to be picked. On his tenth journey back form the base he had come home carrying a large bowl of freshly picked strawberries. He walked solemnly to the kitchen each step dragged after the other; he placed the bowel on the counter staring into the distant. He sat silently for a moment or two before there was a knock and the door and in an instant all three of the Sohma's were at the door panting hard form the sudden excursion, in another instant Yuki had grabbed the door and flung it open only to se the ever stoic form of Hatori there faces dropped and they were about to close the door in his face when they noticed a bundle of cloth the size of a small girl in his arms.
