Chapter 13

'You want me to what?' Hatori asked his eyes widening at Kyo's words.

'Take me to Akito.' repeated Kyo, a confused expression forming on his face. Hatori sighed. Why Kyo wanted to see Akito he didn't know, but the determination in the boy's eyes made him decide to grant Kyo what he wanted.

He dawdled down the hallway towards Akito's room, Kyo following behind him closely, frustrated at the dilatory pace. When they reached the room the doctor turned and stared into Kyo's eyes. He paused as if conflicted about saying what he wanted to say then, deciding to, he placed his hands on Kyo's shoulders.

'Are you completely sure about this Kyo?' Kyo's eyes flashed at Hatori, he was confused by the emotion there; anger.

'Let me in the damn room, Hatori.' Kyo demanded refusing to look at the doctor's concerned stare. Hatori sighed and slid open the door to Akito's room closing his eyes.

'Don't do anything you're going to regret Kyo. She hasn't had her medication yet today.' He opened his eyes to see Kyo prowl into the room. Hatori slid the door closed and trudged back down the hallway, not wanting to hear the argument that was inevitably going to result in yelling. Hatori massaged his temples, already able to imagine the headache Akito was going to give him later.

~O~

Kazuma made his way towards Shigure's large estate. He had walked here, enjoying the warm summer day and its cool gentle breeze despite knowing he was going to have to tell Shigure the news about Kyo. He went to knock on the door only to have it thrown open and for the man himself to appear, as if he had been waiting for him.

'Eager to see me are you, Gure-san?' Kazuma gibed as Shigure smirked back at him.

'I'm going to guess the news is pretty important if you trekked all the way down from the dojo by foot." Kazuma let out a sigh which Shigure noticed, all teasing gone. 'Let's go to my study. We can talk there.'

After making his way into the Study, Kazuma sat down heavily and held his head in his hands.

'I don't know what possessed me to tell him to go for it, Shigure,' Kazuma moaned, 'I just told him to do it, what have I done? I've lost my son!' he cried leaning back in the chair and throwing his head back in defeat.

'Kazuma, what are you talking about? Where's Kyo, what's he doing? What's happened?' Shigure quizzed, his voice getting louder and louder with each question as he waited for Kazuma to reply. His heart raced, Shigure saw Kyo as a little brother, no matter how frustrated he made him, there was love in their relationship and Kazuma was scaring him.

'He wanted to go to Akito; he wants to go into the Neko Room.' Shigure's heart stopped. He forgot how to breathe; he sat down felling light headed.

'He what?' he whispered, dazed he stared at Kazuma waiting for more of an explanation.

'He said something about it keeping Tohru with you and Yuki.' Shigure sighed at Kazuma's words, recollecting himself. He accepted this truth, they all wanted to keep Tohru, though if it meant losing Kyo, it would be a hard blow.

'It's his choice.' he replied, surprising himself at how calm his voice was. 'If he cares that much about the girl that much, then so be it.'

~O~

Kisa needed some fresh air. She had pulled on an old dress, one that Hiro had often complimented her on when he was alive. She lifted the note out of the drawer and had held it in her palm staring at it whilst her mind dared her to open it.

Instead she shoved it into the pocket of her dress. She made her way to the Zen Garden that was furthest away from the house; she had heard muffled yells coming from Akito's room and didn't want to be there when the God finally emerged.

She sat on a stone bench and listened to the soft trickling of the small waterfall. What had Hiro wanted to tell her? Why did he write her the note? When did he write her the note? What was so important that he had to write it on a note instead of tell her?

Kisa's head hurt from he questions swimming in her head. All the questions could be answered she knew that, all she had to do was read. Her had slid into her pocket and felt the paper that was there. Should she open it and finally have her questions answered?

Did she want that? Or would she rather keep Hiro around for a little bit longer? Opening it would mean she wouldn't have anything to hold on to. This would be the last thing he could tell her, the last mystery to Hiro. Could she give that up?

She pulled her hand out of her pocket leaving the note inside she pulled her legs up and rested her chin on her knees. Not today, but soon she promised to herself, soon.

~O~

Kyo entered the room, all confidence that he had with Hatori instantly disintegrated as he saw the face of Akito. He felt his blood run cold as he knelt in front of her. Akito stood up and smirked at Kyo.

'Oh, I thought you were Hatori.' She lazily drawled, slumping back down onto her pile of cushions, 'I could really do with my medication, I feel so aggravated.' she locked eyes with him and let out a short, cold laugh, 'It was a bad choice for you to come here Kyo.'

'Oh no, Akito, I think you'll love the reason why I came here.' Kyo replied nonchalantly. Akito glared at him and then recognition flitted over her face, before a look of disgust.

'That little bitch actually told you to come and have yourself locked away so she could stay?' spat the God, before she straightened up, 'you really chose badly didn't you, you Baka Neko.' Kyo gritted his teeth.

'It's not like that.' He growled causing the God to intensify the glare aimed at him, 'I came here to ask you myself, if she'd have known she would have stopped me. Tohru doesn't know I'm here.'

Akito was outraged; he was doing this out of selfless love for the girl. It made her stomach churn. Love was not needed, love was a pain and love had no right within her Juunishi. She could feel the bind holding Kyo slipping away, she gave everything she had to keep a hold; otherwise she would loose all of them.

It was mentally draining for the God. She imagined all of the Juunishi as their animals, each one tied to a rope and each rope lead back to her hand which had a firm grip on all of the ropes. When Hiro had died, the rope holding the ram had dropped, for there was no longer a ram to be tied to the rope. This eased Akito for a while, for there were less animals fighting against her; it made her job easier. She missed her ram, but she was happier that the tiger was no longer struggling alongside it; the tiger barely ever resisted her anymore.

Every time one of the animals fell in love or began to hate Akito it would tear at and strain it's rope in a desperate attempt to be free from the curse, praying that Akito's grip would slacken on their rope and every time Akito would have to tighten her grasp further to prevent the animal from getting away. Each time she succeeded in keeping the rope in her hand, but it was a full time job and had a serious effect on her health.

She needed to keep the animals; she loved them in a strange, twisted sort of way. She only kept them because she was jealous, jealous that they could be free of the curse but she couldn't. All she had to do to free them was let go of the ropes, but then what would happen to her? She would be submitted to an early death knowing that no one else was suffering with her. The thought made her blood boil. She knew she was selfish, but she didn't care, she had a right to be.

'You are making this so hard for me Kyo.' She yelled, 'You had to go and fall in love with some little good-for-nothing girl!' she strode across the room and slapped Kyo around the face; hard. She smiled and almost gave a sigh at the sound it made as it echoed around her room. For a moment Kyo was stunned, unable to revive his thoughts.

'Who are you telling what I can and can't feel?' he retorted loudly, before shrinking under the stare of the god. Akito's grip was now firm; she could hold on and have no fear of Kyo slipping away. She only had to speak eight words to stop the resisting.

'You are my Juunishi, I am your God.' She replied, bending down so that she was face to face with Kyo, he was frozen, petrified at how close she was to him, he held his breath. 'You will do as I say as you have no choice.' She stepped away and went back to her cushions and Kyo gulped in large breaths of sweet, delicious oxygen. 'You have 3 days until I send Hatori to pick you up.' She turned and stared at him, letting out a dark chuckle, 'Spend your last days wisely Neko. Leave, I am tired of you and need my medication.'

Kyo scrambled to his feet and fled the room. He had three days, he took a deep breath. He was going to make them the three best days of his life.

Three days ohh, I wonder what will happen! Well, you lot can wonder what will happen, I already know! JEALOUS? Anyway, as I said before I'm having a go a writing my own story. Go to the site and search 'Getting To Know The Wilks' or 'BourneOliviaA' to give it a read and give me support!
