_'s P.O.V.-
I wake with a start. She would never reveal our secret. Her relationship with Kyo depends on it. Besides, she's not even in control…
Kyo's P.O.V.-
I nervously walk up to the main house. This is it, I'm going to have to stand up to Akito, make him hate me more than he already does, make _ mad and hate me, and rescue her all in one visit. This should be fun…
I step through the main gate and make my way over to Akito's house while going over the plan in my head. When I reach the house I slightly hesitate before knocking. He opens the door with an evil grin and leads me to the usual dark room.
_'s P.O.V.-
I stand as Akito and Kyo enter the room and leave. I stand next to the door and wait for Akito to emerge with orders to punish as always. It doesn't take long before I hear the typical arguing and yelling on the other side of the door. Only moment pass before the door flies open and out comes a pissed off Akito. I take this as my que and enter the room, closing the door behind me.
Kyo's P.O.V.-
_ walks in grinning. She move closer and stands directly in front of me. There's an evil glint in her eyes as she draws her fist back and collides with my cheek. I fly back into the wall and slouch down on the ground, waiting for the perfect opportunity to bring the beads out. An eerie silence falls over the room and I look up to find _ frozen in place.
Your P.O.V.-
You fight through the fog of the curse and try to regain control, if only for a short period of time. You only need a minute to break the curse for good. You keep fighting and eventually regain sight. Your vision clears and you see Kyo slouched against the back wall.
He is holding something that is white and black in his hands, but you quickly brush it off as nothing. You continue to fight for my voice and a few moments later it is given to me. You rush to form the very words that you will come to love and hate.
"Kyo," you whisper. He looks up at you. His eyes seem empty. "I never got the chance to tell you the real zodiac story. You see, the bear was there the whole time. She was the God's favorite and the most powerful of them. She even saw the rat lie to the cat, but what did she do? Nothing, absolutely nothing. She just sat by and watched as the cat was outcast for something he had no control of. The bear, in other words me, decided that it would be for every ones benefit that the cat was left out. It was one less animal to worry about stealing the God from her. She was scared that the others would steal his attention and favor. The rat later found out and came to hate her for her selfishness and greed. The cat remained oblivious…until today." You now have tears streaming down your face as you finish the story. Kyo's face contorts into rage as he stands. You fall to your knees as he slowly approaches.
"And I thought I loved you," he laughs. He now towers above you, glaring holes into your skull. The tears continue to flow. "Now I know that you are the true reason behind my pain," his voice booms. "You could have stopped it. You said you understood. You lied! You know nothing of my pain! I'm a monster all because of you!" you flinch at his words but remain silent as he leaves. Before he exits the room, he throws you beads on the floor in front of.
You hear the door slam shut before you pick up the beads. It's not like you needed them anymore. Telling Kyo the full story broke your curse. You were free, but is it all that it's been made out to be?
