Chapter Eight: Snow Turns To Spring

Akito had hurt Hatori pretty badly after that and Hatori limped back to his desk. He couldn't help but feel bitter even now about their happiness. Yuki and Kyo had escaped, but he was still left in the cold snow. That was until he saw Ayame come in.
"Hello Hari." spoke Ayame's sick tone.
Hatori groaned, Ayame had caught something and the other was put into a bed near him. He wondered mildly what kept Ayame tied to the curse even now. He and Yuki had made up, Akito barely even spoke with Ayame. Perhaps the curse itself would be lifted somehow, but to hope for such a thing was rather foolish he knew. That's when he felt a hand on his back, he looked back seeing Ayame smiling at him, he couldn't help but smile a little back.
Even as Ayame was the biggest pain in his neck ever, they were still friends after all.
"You work so hard Hatori." spoke Ayame's sick tone.
"How's your shop?" asked Hatori.
"Ah well Min'e is running it while I'm sick." he spoke in his raspy tone.
Hatori chuckled remembering meeting her, she was quite fiery. He'd always wondered if she and Ayame had something going on or not.
"Tell me, have you began dating her?" asked Hatori.
Ayame actually laughed. "Since when do you care about my dating life Hatori?" he asked curiously.
Hatori shook his head, he didn't really care, did he? He put on his usual stoic face and spoke. "I don't." was all he said before heading to bed.
Ayame couldn't help but think he was lying, but as he followed Hatori silent and light on his feet he saw Hatori changing he saw the wounds Akito had inflicted on Hatori. And Ayame felt his snake-like reflexes happen as he almost hissed in anger. He was sick, but this was ridiculous. Ayame ran with a fury to Akito's chamber and he hissed at him right there, Akito was shocked.
"What's this? The snake?" he asked tauntingly.
"That's right, and to say that I will stand back while you hurt everyone dear to me is a complete and utter false statement." spoke Ayame's furious tone.
"What's different now? You've stood back every other time." spoke Akito.
"Only because I was told to. I didn't know what you'd done to Yuki when he was young and I shunned him ignorant of it. This last time Haru had already gone to you, and then the last time with Hatori I was told to stay out of it. But this time with Hatori has crossed the line. I will not allow you to keep doing this." spoke Ayame.
"Oh really!?" spoke Akito angered as he stood up and slapped Ayame hard across the room.
Hatori was in the shower when he heard the thud and he looked out seeing Ayame was gone. He quickly dressed himself and ran to see Akito had smacked the very sick Ayame into a wall and Hatori ran up grabbing his hand, Akito looked at him.
"Enough." said Hatori.
Akito looked up at Hatori and sighed, Ayame had slumped down and Hatori picked him up taking him back to the room and put him in the bed.
"Why would you...?" he whispered.
Ayame closed his eyes and spoke a little. "Love Hari." he spoke as he fell asleep.
Hatori was shocked at the confession but of course didn't say anything as he went to bed, the next day might be hard to handle.
That next day Ayame was given a shot as he ran a fever and Shigure was called to the main house. Shigure went to see his friend of course and knelt down next to him.
"Shigure." spoke Ayame.
"You confronted Akito?" asked Shigure.
Ayame nodded and Shigure sighed sitting next to Ayame while Hatori worked with Akito making sure he had all of his meds.
"You shouldn't have done that." spoke Shigure.
Ayame nodded weakly and Shigure smiled as Yuki came in.
"Yuki, brother, you're here." spoke Ayame.
"He insisted on coming when he heard you were sick." spoke Shigure.
"It's just a seasonal infection." spoke Hatori as he walked back in.
"Then he should be better soon, right?" spoke Yuki.
"He should, but I'm sure you being here will help him." spoke Hatori.
Yuki nodded a little looking to Ayame. "Thank you for sticking up for me, Shigure said you had. But I'm free now, the curse is gone from me." he spoke.
Ayame smiled. "That's wonderful." he spoke.
Yuki nodded and left the room with Shigure after a moment while Hatori looked to Ayame.
"What even ties you to the curse still?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" asked Ayame.
"Akito is losing his grip on many." spoke Hatori.
"Not you, not 'Gure." spoke Ayame weakly as he fell back asleep.
Ayame was tied to the curse because of him and Shigure? Hatori didn't even know what to make of that. Hatori moved to lay down for a while since he had a moment to sleep. He was later awakened by giggling over a phone call though as he saw Shigure flirting obviously before hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" asked Hatori.
"My editor." spoke Shigure.
"You and Mii?" asked Hatori surprised.
"Well I have been teasing her for quite a while and we finally got together." he spoke.
Hatori shook his head and chuckled. "You know I asked Ayame if he was dating Min'e and he seemed almost laughing at me." spoke Hatori.
Shigure nodded and chuckled himself as he smoked a cigarette. "Well of course he did, Ayame doesn't swing that way Hatori." spoke Shigure.
Hatori was surprised and Shigure sighed. "Yes among others like Hatsuharu, Ayame's sexuality has always been ambiguous. He keeps it to himself now but back then even when joking he was half way serious." spoke Shigure.
"I never knew." spoke Hatori.
"Oh I never expected you to." spoke Shigure.
"What about Haru now?" asked Hatori.
"He and Momiji both are moving on from heart breaks, they seem to be understanding that young love isn't always true not with that sort of sexuality for Haru, and for Momiji well Yuki took Tohru." spoke Shigure.
"Any news on the rest of the zodiac?" asked Hatori.
"Ritsu is back with his mother because she has been more ill as of late, have you not been to see her?" asked Shigure.
"No not with Akito's condition." spoke Hatori.
"You may wish to go, it may be soon." spoke Shigure.
Hatori nodded and sighed. "Ritsu may become more of a wreck though." he spoke.
"He may or this may make him stronger." spoke Shigure.
"What of the others?" asked Hatori.
"Last I heard Rin is doing well, and Hiro and Kisa are dating officially." spoke Shigure.
"Do you think they'll last?" asked Hatori.
"I'm not sure." spoke Shigure.
"And Kureno? He did just meet Tohru." spoke Hatori.
"Ah yes well he's off doing his usual affairs, I wouldn't be surprised if there's nothing new with that man, being released several years ago from his curse and all." spoke Shigure.
Hatori nodded and sighed. "So everyone has their lives ahead of them now." he spoke.
"Perhaps only some of us are truly trapped in the past." spoke Shigure.
Yuki came in a couple of minutes later and Shigure left with him. Hatori had to wonder a bit if he was holding Ayame back.
