Chapter 5

Liar Liar pants on fire

"Takuto!?" she cried shooting up in her bed. Her heart beat wildly as she looked around the small black room. As soon as her skin was uncovered from her warm comforter she felt the frigid air attack her skin. Her body rocketed with shivers.

"Hmm? Takuto that's interesting, well I guess maybe not" a sadistic voice answered; fear froze her body as she frantically searched the room for the figure that had just spoken. Her palms grew sweaty as she clutched her blanket.

"Who's there?" her shaky voice asked, she heard a low throaty chuckle in response then something brushed her cheek. His warm hand slid to her jaw line then down her neck leaving shivers of fear. She quickly smacked his hand away.

"How could you forget me? Silly Miki" he chuckled, his hand then grabbed her wrist while his other hand pushed her shoulder back. Her breathing turned to wild gasps as she attempted to scream for help when he climbed over top of her. His index finger lightly traced a line from her temple to her lips "You don't want to fall in love with Tak-kun do you?" he whispered in her ear. She shook her head.

'No! No! It's Eichi, Eichi!' her mind screamed, her wide eyes watched him like a bird caught in the gaze of a ravenous snake. He smiled.

"He's a loser, you want me" he whispered leaning forward. Her mind raced as the adrenaline pulsed in her veins. She couldn't just sit around hoping someone would come save her. She would come off even more pathetic then she already was.

"Stop!" she managed to scream bringing her free hand to his face and shoving as hard as she possibly could. Although her attempt was weak it was not completely useless. Izumi pulled back a little and chuckled.

"I'm not going to violate you Miki" he whispered "I don't want you, you may be cute but not for me" he paused then smirked "I don't like brunettes I like pink haired angels" He finished stroking her hair. She flinched.

"Please, g-get off of me" She stuttered terrified, he slowly rolled over so his head rested on the pillow beside her. He then folded his hands behind his head sighing contently.

"This isn't a very comfortable bed" he observed, she stared back at him afraid and confused. She desperately wanted to flee the room, but was afraid he would chase after her if she ran "Anyways I didn't come here this morning to tease you" she stared at him incredulously. If that was his way of teasing she did not want to see his mean side.

"T-then why?" she whispered not wanting to raise her voice, he turned his head then smiled at her closing his eyes.

"Would you like to come to the main dining hall for some breakfast?" he asked innocently. She wasn't sure if she should take the offer or not. "Kato will be very…sad if you don't come" he said sensing her hesitance "You wouldn't want to disappoint him would you?" She shook her head in fear, she had no choice now. Izumi nodded then rose from the bed. "I'll be out side waiting for you, there are some outfits in the cabinet so you can take your pick" She didn't respond as she watched him leave the room.

After scrambling around for a minute she finally found the light switch. The new florescence's bounced off of the dull white walls. The wooden floor made painful creaking sounds as Mitsuki walked over to the small dull blue dresser. She had to admit that the room wasn't as bad as she thought. However it definitely wasn't that inviting. There was one small window in the corner of the boxy room and it had steal bars on the outside.

When she got to the dresser she hesitantly reached for the top drawer as if she were expecting a monster to jump out. Her eyes widened as she took in the array of fabrics. Her hand slowly traced over the silky material amazed that these wonderful clothes were for her. After gawking at the clothes for quite some time she finally picked out a white lacy sundress that has red cherry blossoms decorating the rims.

"Finally your ready" Izumi said when she walked out of the room closing the door behind her. They walked down that same spooky darkly lit hallway then up a set of stairs bringing them to the front foyer. Mitsuki's eyes observed the room amazed. The beauty of the mansion was so great that she was amazed such terrifying activities could be preformed here. She heard Izumi chuckle.

'That silly Tak-kun" he whispered, they were now walking down a grand hallway surrounded with old pictures when mumbled arguments vibrated throughout the walkway.

"Takuto you're going to have to make the decision eventually…after all you are the one who finally decided to let us get her" Kato said with a sly smile. They were talking in Kato's office. It was essentially a small room surrounded by shelves full of books. Kato sat at a wooden desk while Takuto stood on the other side fuming.

"I told you Kato" He roared slamming his two fists on the table top "I didn't pick her I, I just" he froze, Kato stared back amused then placed his hands behind his head leaning back in his chair.

"You just decided it was finally time to let us capture her right?" he smiled knowing his choice of words would piss off his brother "And when it doesn't pull through what are you going to do? She's the only one left. We have tried with so many different women to see if we could break the curse, but as you know they didn't work"

"Because they weren't attached to the curse in any way! I told you a million times to stop killing these poor innocent women when they couldn't fall in love because it wouldn't work! But you continued being the thick skulled person you are and didn't listen!" Takuto refuted, Kato glared back then slowly stood raising his hand to slap him across the face. Takuto staggered back a few steps but stood his ground.

"I know as damn well as you do that they wouldn't work" He sighed angrily "But the thought that our family would slowly die out because of that stupid Koyama's great grandmother pisses me off so much that I, I, I" He was now fuming "That I want to kill her personally with my own hands. Brother do you honestly not feel anything towards her? Any inch of the hate that I hold?" Takuto stared back then looked down at his clenched fists.

"Yes" he whispered while his bangs covered his eyes "I do…hate her" His heart ached, for so long he had been living in a world of love. A world where one could love another. But not him, he would never be loved. He of coarse could love but it would go unrequited.

"Then when she doesn't fall in love with you will you be able to do it…kill her?" Kato asked Takuto's eyes shot up.

"I, I" He couldn't answer, he had sworn to the girl that he would protect her, sworn that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. How could he protect her if he was going to kill her? "I…will" he said slowly watching the pleasure spread across Kato's face.

"Good, now seeing how we both hate the girl I have asked a favor of Sheldon" He smiled thinking of how frightened the girl would be when Sheldon addressed her.

"You what!?" Takuto bellowed, Kato smirked

"I just simply asked him to have a little fun with her during breakfast. Izumi's taking her there right now" he stopped to chuckle "She's in for a good scare" Takuto's eyes widened as his infuriation pulsed throughout his body.

"He better not fucking touch her!" Takuto roared. Kato raised an eyebrow crossing his arms around his chest

"I thought she didn't mean anything to you?" he asked, Takuto froze then grinned

"She doesn't" He replied racing out of the room.

Sheldon smiled standing in the dining room waiting for his guest to arrive. Kato had asked him to stir up the little brunette a little and Sheldon happily obliged. He too hated the girl because he knew that it was her fault that they were all under the curse. He took in a deep breath to make himself look larger when he saw one of the large doors fly open. He was expecting to see a little girl stumble through the entrance but was surprised when he saw an infuriated blue eyed man tear through the doors.

"Sheldon back off!" He threatened raising his fist, Sheldon grinned innocently. He looked around the room then motioned with his hand to show the unoccupied room. Takuto's heavy breathing was the only thing that filled the eerie silence.

"From what cuz?" he asked, Takuto gritted his teeth as his eyebrows arched down. He walked over to the cocky brunette grabbing the front of his shirt with his fist. Sheldon stared back with a patronizing glare.

"You sure as hell know what I'm talking about" He roared,

"Now now Takuto no need to wrinkle my nicely ironed shirt over something that hasn't even happened" he replied, Takuto's hand hesitated then relaxed sliding down Sheldon's chest "Of coarse if you didn't show up…" Takuto's hand had almost returned to his side when it immediately shot back up. Except this time it found its way to his neck.

"You better not lay a finger on her" he warned tightening his grip on the man's thick neck, he let out wheezing sounds unable to breath. Takuto grinned pleased.

"Not so much fun when your on the receiving end of things is it?" he grinned at seeing the mans pain "Now like I said lay another hand on her and your dead" he tightened his grip with every word.

"For someone who has always talked about his hatred towards her, you seem to be sticking up for Mitsuki quite a bit" Tarou said entering the room, Minoru wasn't too far behind.

"I'm not protecting her!" he lied, Tarou stared back unimpressed. He was the oldest of the relatives and did not quite approve of the violence.

"Of coarse you weren't" he replied as if trying to calm the angry black haired boy "Now why don't you put Sheldon down. I don't think that the colour blue suits him" he said watching Sheldon's face drastically change colours. Takuto grimaced dropping his death grip.

"Ha, ha" Sheldon tried to laugh. Instead of coming off patronizing and condescending like he intended, it came out weak and raspy. Takuto grinned.

"Not so much fun" he repeated his earlier words. Sheldon glared back rubbing his throbbing throat. Tarou sighed walking over to take his seat at the table while Minoru joined him without a word. He was the youngest and the shyest.

"No" Sheldon said "But I guess that little Mitsuki will have to learn that too, I hate her. This is all her fault that we are under the curse and all I want to do is wrap my hands around that scrawny little neck of hers and wring the life out of her" That did it. Takuto tackled Sheldon to the ground wrapping both his hands around Sheldon's neck cutting off all of his breathing passages.

"Don't you ever fucking say that again you know as damn well as I do that the curse is not specifically directed towards her, it's not her fault! It's her-" Takuto froze when he heard a slow clapping sound reach his ears.

"Well done Takuto" Takuto looked over to see him leaning against the wall watching with a bemused expression "That was quite the attack, I can see I taught you well" Kato stared proudly at his younger brother "Now Takuto please get off of your cousin, a young lady is soon to arrive and I'm sure she would not want accept this as gentlemanly behavior" Takuto scowled at Sheldon then sighed standing up and brushing himself off.

"Please excuse me" He mumbled rushing out of the room. He pushed his way past Kato who still occupied the doorway then sprinted down the hallway. His anger was so invigorating that he couldn't help but run it off.

'You hate her, you hate her, you hate her!' his mind screamed. He remembered when Kato had first told him about the curse when he was seven.

"So I'll never truly fall in love?" a young Takuto asked, Kato nodded

"And it's all that girls fault" he said pointing at the TV screen. Mitsuki was standing in between her two parents. Her father was a famous singer and was just finishing up an interview.

"It's not that bad is it?" Takuto asked unaffected by his brother's words. Kato stared at him incredulously then sighed

"Of course it is…Takuto our family will all die and no one will carry on our family name if this happens, do you understand?" he said sternly. Takuto finally seemed to pick up on the information and nodded with understanding "Soon there will be no more Kira's, just like mom and dad you'll be gone too. There will be no one left" those few words terrified him.

"Yes, I hate her" he said pointing an accusing finger at the little girl on the television screen. He had watched the way she lived her happy carefree life and it irked him. Both his parents had died and he was just told that his family would soon become 'extinct' Kato smiled

"I hate her too Takuto. One day she will be ours" he said menacingly.

"I… hate…her" he gasped; he had stopped running and placed his hand on the closest wall while griping his throbbing chest. "But I?" he then thought of the delicate little girl. The way she seemed to trust him. The way she had called him last night…

Thank you

Her words whispered in his mind. She had thanked him; she didn't just blow him off as if being helped was expected of him she had actually…thanked him. His heart took a funny beat as his revelation sunk in. She was the first person who had ever thanked him. His heart seemed to warm up when he thought of the innocent girl.

"Well look who finally made it!" Kato cried with joy gesturing with his outreached hands towards Mitsuki and Izumi. She nodded shyly standing awkwardly beside the table. It was a very long rectangle shape with an elegant satin table cloth. Kato sat at the head of the table while there was an empty seat to his left. To his right were Tarou then Minoru and Sheldon.

"Why don't you sit here" Kato said with fake enthusiasm gesturing at the chair beside his. A mangled smile reached her lips as fear rocketed through her body. He shifted his hand as if reminding her of his request and she quickly walked over taking the seat. Izumi smiled taking the chair to her left.

"So how was your night?" Kato asked placing his elbows the table then resting his chin on his folded hands. Mitsuki swallowed hard.

"G-good" she whispered. Her eyes searched the room then 'Where is he?' she wondered, she hadn't seen him since the previous night.

'It doesn't matter where he is! Think about Eichi!' Her conscience bellowed her mind went blank as she thought of the man she loved.

"So where is Tak-Kun?" Her hade shot up at the new conversation and her heart raced. "Seems like Miki wants to know too" Izumi said with a sly smile. Mitsuki looked away embarrassed.

"Well" Kato said with a smile "He had to go take…care of some things for me. It would appear his temper got the best of him again" Mitsuki blinked confused. Takuto didn't seem that temperamental to her. However she didn't know him that well.

"Who cares where that little bastard is" Sheldon said with a grimace "Anyways…" he froze when a malicious grin marked his features. "Mitsuki, I was wondering if you would accompany me to the garden this afternoon" Mitsuki stared at the man in horror.

"Of course she would love to go" Kato replied for Mitsuki "I bet she would love to see our beautiful garden" She couldn't reply, not that it would mater now. Kato looked to Mitsuki and smiled. Her weak whisper of a grin seemed to satisfy him. "Now lets eat" he said gesturing to the waiters to bring the food.

After that the only sound filling the room were the knives and forks scrapping against the plates while Mitsuki looked dejectedly at her full plate.
