We were all gathered at the table eating another of Tohru's meals. Yuki sweetly got me to try holding chopsticks with my bad arm, but to no avail. Three months had passed since that battle with Akito, and we all recovered quickly…Well mostly. The arm I broke is being difficult and now it's really hard to grip anything. Hatori said some doctor things about the bone hitting certain…whatsits…and..Oh, I don't know it hurt my hand too. Plus because of my shoulder by other arm has limited mobility. Hatori informed Shigure that the scar can never be removed, even with plastic surgury. Shigure made the most of it though, picking up girls who pity him. Pervert. And my poor Yuki. He recovered fast, but the blow to his head was bad. He gets tired fast, and extreme mood swings. He even changed into a rat without anyone hugging him. He hasn't left the house in 2 months, but he should be fine now. Tohru has been taking really good care of us. She is back to her old self and now takes joy in Yuki and I. Taking pictures, setting up extravagant dates in the house, keeping Shigure away…anything. Despite the injuries, everything is great. The best it's ever been. For the first time in my life I can say I'm truly happy….shit I dropped the chopsticks again.
"Knock knock!" Someone's voice came from around the corner. "The door was unlocked so I let myself in." Ugh it was Haru…again
"Oh Haru, what brings you here?" Shigure smiled his awkward smile. With his scar his smile only raises on one side.
"Just visiting my favorite family," Of course he trails right next to Yuki when he says this. "How are you today, Yuki?"
Yuki smiled, "Just a little tired, that's all." Haru has been coming over almost every day for the past 2 months, and every time he trails straight to Yuki. Ever since the whole Akito mess, Haru has taken advantage of the new freedom. That includes trying to get Yuki closer to him. Well this is only an assumption, but Yuki was his first love, and now with the freedom to love, and Yuki's head trauma…I think Haru is trying to win Yuki over. I should probably say something to Yuki, but I don't want to trigger an unwanted emotion, or seem to be an over-protective boyfriend. I need to trust Yuki…
"Maybe you should go lay down for awhile Yuki," Haru smiled while he inched closer to MY nezumi. Alright I do trust Yuki…its Haru I don't trust.
"No I'm fine Haru, but thanks."
"No problem, Yuki. If you need anything though just give me a call. I'll be here whenever you need me."
"That's a nice offer Haru, but I'm sure Yuki will be fine." I almost growled staring at Haru with hatful eyes.
Haru laughed a little, "Whatever you say Kyo." The room got silent in tension, until suddenly the phone rang.
"Huh, I wonder who that could be," Shigure got up and answered the phone, "Tori! Oh hello! I just knew you would call me back to anyways she was so hot! The way she-" Shigure's face suddenly turned cold. "He what? No, no, no. Your kid-…." We all looked around at each other in confusion. Something bad has happened. "Well can't we…..I suppose your right but…This just doesn't seem…I know….right…okay….Don't worry I will….Do you think he'll……right. Okay then. Good bye…" Shigure hung up and sighed.
"What was that about, Shigure?" Tohru's voice sounded shaky with anticipation.
"Akito has run away. He has been gone since yesterday morning…Tori can't find him. Akito was also at his worst in health again. He needs Tori or he could die." We all stood silent. Or God actually…die? What will happen to the curse then? Will it be lifted or will it..It's too hard to think about.
I said the only logical thing I could think of, "We should go look for him."
"We can't," Shigure shook his head, "We don't know where he could be, and with the curse were not sure if something will trigger is we see a dead Akito.."
"Can't we call the police?" Tohru politely suggested.
"No, that would call for a background check, and we can't take any chances of giving away the curse to the public. All we can do is wait and see what happens."
We stayed silent not knowing what we should feel. Happy that the evil in our lives is gone, or scared that our God is missing. All we could do was hope he comes back, that nothing with our curse goes wrong. Yuki grasped my hand. Oh god let everything be okay.
That's it, don't worry the sequel will be up soon. Enjoy!
