(Akito: I won't allow you to put this up!!
Ayushi: Oh come on its not that bad
Akito: yes it is. It makes me look soft.
Shigure: have a little fun
Akito: *glare* You shall not do it *walks off*
Ayushi: Screw you. So you guys know this is a little different. it's a little bit of a side note. Its huh different. Still have yet to buy Fruits basket but maybe one day I will own it but not today.)
Akito sat looking out over the inner part of the Sohma estate. He lounged out the window. His body was aching yet again, and he was not in a very good mood. His head was throbbing as thought it wanted out of his head. He hung his head out of the window for some fresh air.
He heard Hatori walked in. The man stood looking at him. The doctor came over and put a hand to his forehead. He paused took, down a few notes, then sat down.
"They found the lion, happened to be one of Tohru's friends," he said still flipping through his papers.
"Are we sure they are Sohmas?" Akito asked the preoccupied doctor.
"Yes, they have the same characteristics as the ones cursed with the animals of the Zodiac. They change when hugged, and they change when stressed. They are just like us only new," Hatori explained once again slowly knowing Akito wasn't in a good mood today.
"Well I'll have to met them sometime," he said with a sneer.
"Yes, I'm sure you will," he said writing a few more things down. A small butterfly in the window. It flew at Akito's face. He swiped at it. He growled scowling.
"Get rid of it Hatori," he demanded sitting back down. Hatori stood up and caught it after a little strife. He sat back down panting. He was going to smash it. Before he did he thought he heard a little voice saying 'noo!!!!!' He paused remember that the butterfly was part of the zodiac. He put the animal to his ear and listened.
"Please I'm human I turn into a butterfly sometimes. Don't kill me. I know what you are too Hatori my seahorse," a small feminine voice said to him.
"Its another of the zodiac Akito," he said holding the bug out to him. He took it and looked at it. He spit on it. The little butterfly winced its blue wings getting wet. They got heavy and stuck to his hand. She cried out in fear. Hatori could barely hear it.
"You just a stupid bug. I should kill you right now and get rid of your sorry ass," he said and put the animal nearer to his arm so he could hear it beg for its life.
"Please sir I'll do anything just kill me, anything," she cried
"Fine your from this moment on your my slave. You will do whatever I say and give me no lip or I'll kill you," he said to her. His stern voice told her he meant ever work of it.
"Alright I'll do it," she yelled at him reluctantly.
He put her in his lap and waited. A few moments later she transformed. She sat in Akito's lap. She was thin very thin. She had a mess of brown hair that feel down straight to her mid-back. Her head hung low. Her strikingly steel blue eyes only flicked her up for a moment then went back to her hands. She held them at her sides. She didn't even try to cover herself. Hatori forced himself to look away.
"Get off my lap," Akito demanded. She did so silently. She sat only feet from him.
"What's your name?" Akito asked her.
"I have no name other then what you call me," she said softly in a plain tone.
"Your good," he said chuckling feeling a little better then he had before "well what did they call you before you met me."
"They called me Lilly," she said still looking down. Her hands started shacking. Her body was covered in goose bumps.
"She's going to catch cold if we don't cover her soon," Hatori said going over to Akito's chair, and got a blanket. He put it over her shoulder. He put it on her shoulders. She reach pulling it around her covering herself.
"Alright don't want her unable to work," he said making her eyes shot up. Then she quickly moved them back down. "Hatori get her some clothing I don't want anyone noticing her."
"Alright I think I'll get something from the store," Hatori said "I don't want anyone to have to give something up. I'll be gone for a few hours."
"Fine. Go," he said pointing to the door. The doctor left leaving Akito with his new toy.
He looked up at her smiling evilly. He leaned over close to her ear.
"Your mine. I can do whatever I want to you," he said pushing a hand to her throat and the other under the blanket to her lap, "Anything at all. Remember that." He pulled away. He sat back looking at her. She had a look of relief on her face.
"How did you transform this time?" he asked her.
"I over stressed my body," she explained. She said no more.
"How did you transform the first time?" he asked her continuing his questioning.
"I was hugged by one of my father's friends," she told him.
"Does he still live," Akito asked her sitting forward a little more angry then before.
"He died of a heart attack due to the shock of it," she explained. There was so much fear in her voice by now she was shaking again.
"Has anyone seen you since," he asked screaming at her taking her by the hair and slapping her "You better not be lying!!"
"I'm not sir. No one has seen me since. I have not transformed due to a hug since the first time," she said still in her plain dull voice not even a little bit of a raise.
He dropped her. Holding his head in his hands. He cried out in pain. The world was spinning again. He kicked her feeling the rage fill him. She fell to the ground and didn't move to get up. The blanket strewn about her. He got up screaming. He went over and kicked.
"You worthless bug your nothing you hear nothing. How are you lay there still like that you don't even try and protect yourself," he said and kicked her again making her roll in pain
He grabbed his head the rage loosing its grip. He accidentally ran out the open door that was near the window in his inability to think. He felt his body fall to the ground. His head become immersed in water. He couldn't move himself. His eyes rolled back in his head. He was having another episode. Nothing to new for him but it was painful none the less. He slowly feel into darkness hoping that this wasn't the time he would die.
She sat up holding her bruised arm and keeping her swelling leg held close. She let the blanket drop. She looked over at Akito and gasped. The frightened girl had no idea what to do when she say Akito lying died still in a puddle of water. Outside of the room had been a small pond made mostly for visual pleasure.
She grabbed the blanket again and got up. She walked over to him carefully. Slowly the frightened youth went over and pulled him out of the water. She picked him up. She was brawny after years of working and most of the work had involved moving things.
She put him in her arms and then into the bed that was on the other side of the room. She suspected it was his. She put a cover over him. He used another one to dry of his hair. She sat kneeling besides him.
A few hours later Akito was still asleep. Lilly still sat by him almost looking like she was praying. Hatori walked in with a bag in hand. He saw Akito and rushed to his side. He put hand on the unconscious man's forehead noting how wet it was. He was running a fever and Hatori looked very concerned.
"What happened?" he asked her. As he did so he handed her the bag of clothing. She took it. She grabbed a shirt and put it on.
She told him about him falling about how she had got him out. Then about how she had carried him over to the bed and put him under the sheets. Unknown to her Akito had woken up while she was telling Hatori. Akito opened his eyes and looked over to her.
"Why did you do that? Why did you save my life?" he asked her.
"I didn't I simple won't allow someone to die like that," she said a little more clearly and less carefully then she had said anything before to them.
"I am going to die any ways," he said pushing more into the pillows.
"But your alive aren't you that's worth helping you for" she said to him softly in a way that there was no possibility of lying.
"Why after how I treated you before?" he asked her. As he thought about the way he had kicked her and questioned her. He would have let himself die had he been in her shoes.
"I see the kindness in you," she said very softly. Hatori and Akito gave an identical look of confusion.
"What?!" They both said in unison.
"Before when you were going to hurt me you didn't. you stopped yourself. You didn't have to but you did. That's the difference between good and evil," she said "Knowing when to stop and when to start. You do so I knew right away you were a very kind person. You went into a rage that's all and I understand and except that."
"Oh so you think I'm good then and, what did you say, kind?" he asked something different in his eyes.
"Yes," she said bowing her head. He made her look at him by moving her chin up. He slowly leaned over and hugged her. She closed her eyes. Akito smile faintly but it was real.
((Akito: You went agest me. Your memory will now be erased. Hatori!!!
