Akito's Sister

A FanFic, yes that's what it is.

Note: This story take place after episode 26 of the TV series.

Chapter Six

The Sohma household was in an uproar with maids running this way and that with towels, cloths, and bandages, both bloody and clean. Hatori labored on reviving the girl that was quickly bleeding to death and wondered whether she would live.

Akito stood staring at the limp form of his only sibling as she bled on the floor. She had been the only one who had never left. Now he realized that it was her own will that kept her from leaving; it seemed to him that she should have left him long ago. With everything he had done to her, she should have left; but she didn't and she knew what fate awaited her at the end of the path she had chosen. She knew it would inevitably lead to her death.

Tohru had been sleeping in a rather stiff and uncomfortable chair, at the bedside of a girl she barely known, for the nine days since the girls admission. The scratchy blue fabric was annoying, Hatori had warned her, but she still sat in the chair; or slept in it.

He couldn't bring himself to enter the room. He couldn't bring himself to even touch the handle. There lay the only other person he cared for, other than himself, and it was his fault that she lay there in her near death state. At the moment, he considered himself to be the worst person on planet earth.

She felt like she was under water. She felt like the thing she desired most was just beyond her reach. She felt light as a feather, and yet heavy as a ton at the same time. It was the oddest feeling she had ever felt. Yet it was paradise to someone who didn't know what paradise was.

Forgive the shortness, allow me to say one thing. When I added names to this chapter, instead of all the pronouns it didn't give off the feel that I wanted the readers to get. Ashi's story is tragic and I am not going to sugar coat it for you. This is my point and if it isn't the way it is it doesn't have the same meaning. There will probably be only one or two more chapters so be wary and expect the unexpected.
