Chapter 10

A few days pass and Tohru greets Yume and Hatori as they walk out of the hospital.

Yume held Hatori's hand.

"Hey you two" Tohru chirped.

Hatori gave a nod and Yume waved with her free hand.

Tohru walked beside Yume." So where are you two going..?" she asked hoping she didn't sound rude.

Yume looked over at Hatori, then back to Tohru."Akito's…so I think you should leave…for your own safety."

Tohru nodded. "Come by Shigure's afterwards okay..?" then she skipped off.

Yume and Hatori reached Akito's house within minutes. They knocked on the door.

Akito answered. "What do you two want now?" He asked with a frown.

Yume bowed. "Can our wedding be public?" She asked.

Akito smirked and nodded.

After that Yume and Hatori went to Shigure's and told Tohru, Yuki, Kyo and Shigure what happened.

They all decided the wedding would be in Shigure's backyard.

Hatori had his wedding tuxedo already.

Yume only needed to pick up her dress.Yume went to the store she ordered her dress from and went back to Shigure's to get ready.

Yume was in the bathroom when she was putting it on.

While she was putting it on she heard footsteps. She kept looking around but saw nothing.

Then the shower curtains burst open and a person dressed in all black stabbed Yume in the stomach…then took another one to the heart.

Yume fell to the floor holding her chest and stomach.

The person kicked Yume so that she was looking up at the ceiling.

They looked down at her, laughing.

Yume coughed and wheezed." Aki..to..w..why..?" she asked in pain.

"Did you really think I'd let you marry Hatori..?" Akito laughed some more. Then he got on top of her and started to choke her.

A few minutes later she breathed no more.

Akito then put the knife in one of her hands, put a piece of paper beside her and left her in her own puddle of blood.

Meanwhile Tohru and the others was all wondering what was taking Yume so long so they went to check on her.

They saw that the bathroom door was open, so they knew it was safe to go in.

Once they saw her body, drenched in blood they all screamed in terror.Tohru found the note and read it aloud;

Hatori,

I'm so sorry, I realized that I wasn't ready to marry you and I couldn't take the regret of hurting you so I did what I felt what right… and that was to rid myself from this world. But I want you to know that I still love you with all my heart.

Love,

Yume

Tohru started to cry. They knew nothing of her brutal murder, and never would.

….The End….
