I almost drop my phone. I cannot believe what Hatori just told me.

Kisa? In the hospital?

"W-W-Why? W-What happened?" I manage to stutter into my cold cellphone. I hear him sigh.

"She was badly beaten so she has multiple cuts and bruises on her legs and arms."

Realization dawns on me. Akito. I feel the fury boil inside of me. That woman! Yes, I am the only one of the Zodiac that knows that Akito is truly a woman. Unfortunately, Hatori let it slip and I have now had to swear to absolute silence on the matter. Now, that woman, that 'god' has crossed the line. Before I know it, I am yelling into the phone.

"Why? Why did she do it?"

Hatori calmly answers, "In case you didn't know, Kisa and Hiro have been getting steadily closer and closer. Hiro, being naive to Akito's senseless ways, went and confessed his love for Kisa to Akito. Akito appeared to take it calmly, but then I was phoned today only to be told that Kisa had been discovered unconscious and covered in blood in Akito's room."

That does it for me. I may have let that woman beat me into submission in the past, but no one dares touch my sister without getting a visit to hell and back.

"Thanks, Hatori. I will see you soon I'm sure."

"Kaya, what is that supposed to mean-"

I cut him off by slamming my phone shut. I start to walk home. This soon turns into sprinting.

I can't believe she would dare do that to my sister.

I charge through the front door, knocking the butler out of the way and up to Akito's bedroom door. I poise my hand to knock, when a young servant girl come up to me.

"I don't know if that would be wise, Mistress Kaya. Akito isn't feeling well today," she lowers her voice, "plus, you sister has already been badly beaten today. Akito might not be in the best state of mind right now for talking."I scoff.

"Talk? You seriously think that after what Akito has done that I am just going to stand here! No way!"

I push her out of the way and charge into the room. I am immediately taken over by the feeling of death and fear. I look around. The bed is empty and the windows are closed. The air is still and cold, like a tomb. I start to move in when I hear a noise. I turn quickly and face the figure leaned against the wall behind me. She laughs. "Oh, so you finally came to see me. I am assuming that this can only be about Kisa, can it?"

That does it!

My rage flies out of me before I can get a hold of myself. I attack her. I was literally beating the living crap out of her, when I come to my senses. Unfortunately, I stop just long enough for Akito to get a hold of herself. Moving fast, she darts out from under me. She crawls to the table and grabs a knife. Next thing I know, she is flying at me with the knife. My vision is then clouded with blood and I loose all senses. I collapse to the floor in a heap, the pain building unbearably. I feel my blood soaking through my clothes and staining the floor, when the door flies open. The pain then stops building and I sink into blackness.


I wake up in cold swear, shivering even though it's warm. I sit up. It takes me a few minutes to calm down and reason with myself.

It was a dream. Only a dream...

I fall back onto my pillows, trying to breathe properly.

Wow, I haven't had that flashback in a long time. I really hate dreaming about that dreaded night. It always gives me the creeps.

I look at the clock. 4:00 a.m.

Jeez, I couldn't even make it through the night. They say that Akito has changed, but I still have my doubts. She nearly killed me, Kisa, Rin and Kureno. How can anyone forgive her?

I close my eyes slowly, trying to convince my body to sleep. I begin to drift off, but then I remember my sister. I sit up once again.

I can't do this! I have to see Kisa, now! I can't be away from her any longer! I don't even know my own sister anymore! I must return, even if it involves seeing Akito again. I handled her once, I can do it again.

I throw the covers off myself and move to my desk. I get out my writing supplies and begin to write a new, happier letter to my beloved sister.

Dear Kisa...

Hm...Kaya coming home? Well, this should be interesting. Please review!
