Sarah narrowed her eyes trying to show no fear but failing dismally. Her glare came off no better than a stare. She couldn't understand what she was so afraid of. This boy who wore a smirk on his face, was not many years older than herself and got sick easily but every time her looked at her Sarah shivered and wished herself some where else.
"Hello, Sarah. Long time, no see," The boy said while standing up and slowly walking over to her. "…Hi…Akito." She stated back coldly. "Now. Now. Sarah, you don't have to be so…heartless." He reached out his hand and grabbed some of Sarah's hair. He twisted it around his finger.
"The only one whos heartless here is you," She said while pulling away. "You must really miss your parents…your real parents," Akito said calmly. "What you getting at?" Sarah asked with a glare. A smirk formed on Akito's face. Sarah's eyes widened with confusion.
Akito chuckled a bit but stopped and said in a voice that seemed like he cared but really he didn't, "You don't know? How sad. I guess I'll have to fill you in. Because of you…your parents are dead."
Silence filled every inch of the room. An coward silence. A dead silence. 'It couldn't be true….', Sarah thought, 'How would they…? He's lying. He has to be…' Sarah started to shake her head in disbelief, "Your lying. It's not true! It can't be."
"Believe what you want but what I just told you is the truth," Akito smirked again and turned. He walked over to two shoji doors and slid them open. Sarah felt the wind blow her hair back. Leaves flew into the room. It was a nice summer like day. The sun was shinning and very few clouds were visible against the light blue sky.
Akito sat down on the edge of the floor where the wood meet the brown colored earth cover by grass. He turned back to Sarah, "When you left, Sey, your mother killed herself. And that stupid American man she called a husband was stricken with grief and killed him self as well, leaving poor Hatori all alone. You may have not been holding the gun your mother killed herself with but you killed her all the same. "
Tear swelled in Sarah's eyes and started to fall down her face, "Your…wrong! I didn't kill her…or father! I didn't!" Sarah stared down at the floor were she could see her tears gathering together to make a small puddle. Sarah heard footsteps and felt a hand on her head stroking her hair, "Now, Sarah do you really want to stain your pretty face." At that very moment Sarah knew Akito's true intentions. He did this all to make her cry and upset. He was getting pleasure from this whole thing.
Sarah pulled away and wiped her eyes. Akito turned his back on her and walked back to were he had been sitting, "Sarah. You bore me. Leave now." He didn't have to tell her twice. She quickly walked to the door she had entered from and slide it open. Seconds later she slammed it shut.
Hatori looked out the window he was passing by and watched as his younger sister, Sarah and his cousin Shigure leave. He stared at the back of Sarah's hair as it swayed in the wind.
When Shigure and Sarah had left, Sarah had looked upset about something and looked like she had been crying. She was the only family Hatori had left and he didn't want to lose her again. He turned from the window and walked into the room and hour before he had told Sarah to enter.
"You called, Akito?" He asked calmly. "Yes…I did. Sit down." Hatori walked over to Akito and sat a good distance from him but close enough not to be rude. "Your younger sister has really grown. She was cute back when we were kids but now…" Akito trailed off with a smirk, "I want to keep her…forever." He turned his face to Hatori, "You know Hatori, I always get what I want."
