Orochimaru would never have expected that Genji would have used her wish for Akito's sake. The thought of knowing there's a part of the two of them roaming around the household gave him a sickening feeling in both his heart and his stomach. He felt like he was about to throw up. He couldn't explain it; this feeling. He wanted to be with her every second of every day. Why did he feel this way? He wanted to make her happy, He wanted to do anything for her. It was the same with Akito. Even though he hated his guts, he felt guilty that he tried to kill him. Even seeing Genji cry made his heart sink. What was wrong with him?

He started to regret everything. Yet, as he thought of her, he longed to be around her, and hold her and kiss her. He smiled slightly at the thought and suddenly became angry with himself. He stood up straight from the balcony wall. He looked up into the darkened sky. Drops of water began to fall onto his pale face, sliding down his cheeks. He blinked and looked over to the window next to his. He sighed and realized he had some unfinished business to attend to. He went inside and left his room, heading to the one next to his. Genji was sitting in a chair next to the bed where Akito slept. She was watching him happily. Hearing the door close, Genji turned to see who it was. He approached her and stood by her side as he looked upon Akito.

"Milord. I'm sorry if I." She stopped talking once the lord's hand rested on her shoulder. He did not look at her, only the boy.

"No." He said. "It is I that should be sorry. I apologize for my aggression. I should not have done that, no matter what the circumstances." He responded. She looked at him. Why was he apologizing? He never did this before. He then looked at her. His snake-like eyes having a saddened look in them. He leaned down and kissed her passionately. He quickly pulled away. He left the room without a word. She smiled lightly. He was changing. He was finally changing.
