Chapter Ten: You're Not Alone
1010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010
It had been a week since Haru was in the hospital, a coma. Akito had also entered into a coma, but the doctors said because of Akito's fragile condition he may never awaken from his. Haru however seemed like he would in time. Still it didn't make it any easier on any of them.
The guilt ate away at Yuki until he could no longer visit Haru in that bed, he hadn't been to the hospital since the second day Haru had been there. Tohru was getting increasingly worried about Yuki. He was quiet and to himself a lot, though he did hold her hand, he was so cold otherwise. She knew he was suffering, she understood that. Of course everyone was staying at Shigure's for the moment. Except Hatori who was at the hospital with Haru and Akito.
Ayame of course saw Hatori each day at the end of the day and would help him to bed, while Shigure tried to help Kisa and Hiro feel better. Tohru did her usual cooking and cleaning of course. Kyo and Kagura were of course inseparable, they were so afraid of being separated from each other because of what happened. But finally Kagura was asleep and Kyo walked out to seeing Tohru standing there.
"You ok?" he asked her.
Tohru shook her head. "I'm fine but Yuki..." she said.
Kyo sighed. "The damn rat honestly, this time, I don't blame him." he said.
Tohru turned and looked at Kyo with tears in her eyes, he couldn't help but sigh as he pulled her into a hug, even when he transformed into a cat, he knew she needed the hug. Tohru cried and hugged the cat.
"What do I do?" she asked.
Kyo sighed. "What you've always done." he said.
Tohru looked at Kyo and he looked at her, she smiled then. "Just be myself, right?" she said.
The cat nodded and then poofed back, she looked away as he dressed and she stood up.
"Thank you Kyo." she said.
Tohru ran to Yuki's room and went inside of it, she saw him moping a little as he looked out the window at the moon. She went and sat down next to him and looked at him.
"Yuki, are you ok?" she asked.
He looked at her and sighed. "I'm sorry...I know I've been out of it." he said.
"It's ok." she said.
He looked at her and she began to talk more. "It just means you're comfortable enough around me to show me how you're really feeling, like at the lake." she said.
Yuki looked down. "I feel guilty." he said.
"I know but.." said Tohru.
He looked at her and she put her hand over his. "You did nothing wrong Yuki. None of us did. Akito's pain has just become too much for him to bare alone and he pushed it onto us, he tried to destroy us all, but he only destroyed himself. Haru was protecting us because he wanted to, not because we forced him to. Don't blame yourself." she said.
Yuki put his face into his hands and Tohru wrapped her arms around him hugging him, he of course turned into a rat and she held him in her hands before she hugged him to her heart. Yuki soon transformed back and stood up after he got redressed.
"You're right...we have to be there for Haru." he said.
She nodded and Yuki went to sleep. The next day they went to the hospital. Tohru held Yuki's hand and he looked at Haru who lay there unconscious.
"Haru...I'm sorry I haven't been here." said Yuki.
He put his hand over Haru's hand and smiled at him. "But you know, I'm not leaving until you wake up. I love you, I need you Haru. I realize it now I have to be stronger, I have to be unafraid of the consequences, I have to remember what you did. You were the strong one for us all. And I will never forget that. I thank you, and I hope you wake up soon." said Yuki's hurt and yet stronger tone.
Yuki pulled his hand away but Haru's hand grabbed his hand and he turned slowly opening his eyes as he looked at Yuki.
"I promised myself I'd protect you no matter what." he said.
Yuki's eyes lit up and Tohru smiled as Yuki hugged Haru there in the hospital. Haru of course hugged Yuki and motioned for Tohru to join them, she wanted to and as he pulled her close, she closed her eyes waiting for the 'poof.'
But it didn't happen, no one transformed. Tohru looked at them both as they both looked at her in shock.
"The curse on us...it's gone." said Yuki in shock.
Haru smirked and hugged them both, they both hugged him and each other then, all of them were smiling as they hugged each other happily. Hatori came in and saw them, he smiled a little and shook his head. He checked Haru over of course and looked to Tohru and Yuki.
"The curse is gone I see." he said.
Yuki nodded. "What about Akito?" he asked.
"He woke up a little while ago though there no guarantee that he would...it was quite a shock." said Hatori.
Haru and Yuki both went tense while Tohru looked at Hatori curiously. Hatori sighed.
"He said he gives up." he said.
Tohru looked saddened. "But if he'd only realized...we don't hate him." she said.
Haru looked at Tohru and smiled a little. "No we don't hate him...he hates us for having lives, he wants us all to pay the same way he has." said Haru.
Yuki looked at Haru. "And that's why you protected us?" asked Yuki.
Haru looked to Hatori. "We all deserve lives of our own. I protected us this time because we can't all suffer for Akito. We have suffered enough with this curse, and Akito has suffered with it as well, in the end he's allowed it to consume him...we could not save him." said Haru.
"But that means the curse will simply continue." said Yuki with a sigh.
Tohru eyes closed and she suddenly got up. "I want to talk to Akito again." she said.
Hatori looked to Tohru and sighed. "Are you sure?" he asked.
She nodded with determination and he led her to Akito's room, Haru looked to Yuki and nodded to him, Yuki followed her and leaned against the door as she walked in and bowed to Akito.
"What do you want?" asked Akito tiredly.
Tohru looked at Akito and sat down next to him. "I want you to share with me." she said.
Akito looked at her. "Share?" he asked in a choked tone.
"Yes share, your pain, your happiness, your sadness, all of it." said Tohru.
Akito looked at her like she was stupid. "Why do you...care?" asked Akito.
Tohru looked at Akito. "Because you need someone." she said.
Akito just looked at her and she spoke again. "No one deserves to be alone. Not now, no matter what." said Tohru.
"After what I did?" asked Akito with a shocked look on his face.
Tohru shook her head. "I remember my mom.." she said.
Tohru looked at Akito. "Whenever I would throw a tantrum she would let me, she would always say that it's best to get your pain out of you, because if you don't it'll stay trapped inside of you and make you suffer." said Tohru.
Akito looked away but Tohru put her hand on his. "You are suffering with your own pain alone, you lashed out at us because of your pain. But we don't want you to be alone." she said.
Akito looked at her with pained eyes. "Why...?" he asked.
Tohru then took a daring move, she hugged Akito there in the hospital bed. Akito was shocked at being hugged like that, all of his life he'd been treated differently because he was the god of the family, people either feared him or pretended to care, barely anyone had held him as a child, and he had grown so cold. Tohru didn't let go though and Akito couldn't help but feel the tears pour from his eyes as she held him there in that hospital. He hugged her back finally, Hatori and Yuki were watching in shock.
"I'm sorry..." said Akito through the tears.
Tohru shook her head and looked to Akito. "You are loved Akito, you're not alone." said Tohru.
She looked back to Yuki. "I know Akito has hurt you...and I know it will be hard. But let us all heal together, let us not be separated anymore." she said looking to Akito.
Akito looked to Yuki who looked at him, he then looked to Tohru and sighed. "Are you certain...it's not too late?" he said.
Tohru just smiled at Akito. "It's never too late." she said.
Akito looked down and nodded slowly. "I will...try." he said skeptically.
Tohru smiled and moved off of Akito. "When you get out of the hospital, I want you to come to Shigure's house, we'll have a big dinner all together." she said.
Akito looked at her still skeptical but he nodded of course, he had to try, she smiled and left then with Yuki. Haru got ready and left the hospital shortly after some more tests were ran and they returned to Shigure's. Momiji saw Haru there and ran over hugging him.
"I'm so glad you're ok!" he exclaimed.
Haru smiled a little. "Yeah I'm alright, they said to just take it easy." he said.
"Hatori still at the hospital?" asked Ayame.
"Yes he's treating Akito who woke up, but Akito apologized and well...we're going to try and make things better from what happened yesterday." Yuki said.
Ayame sighed. "I suppose it's for the best, I only hope that goes smoothly." he said.
Yuki nodded in agreement, soon Hatori arrived but he had Akito with him in a wheel chair, the air was tense for a moment before Tohru came out and saw Akito.
"Welcome! Come on everyone dinner's almost ready!" she exclaimed happily.
Akito was wheeled inside and he looked to Tohru. "Hatori was...reluctant to do this so soon but I...after you told me of this idea for dinner, I wanted to come." said Akito.
Tohru shook her head and helped Shigure set up more room for everyone in that room, setting each plate, she set up Akito's next to her's.
"After this he has to go back to the hospital for more treatment." said Hatori.
Shigure looked over at Hatori. "I certainly hope this goes over ok, I know everyone is still tense from what happened before." he said.
Hatori nodded and took Ayame's hand into his own squeezing it while standing next to Shigure. He was nervous and Hatori rarely showed such emotions, only Ayame knew what turmoil was going on inside of that mind. Tohru came out serving them all dinner as she sat down next to Akito who was helped down to the table. The dinner was served and they all began to eat.
Akito took a bite and he looked at Tohru with shocked eyes. "You're...better then the cooks at the main house." he said.
She blushed. "Thank you." she said.
Yuki smiled a little at her being so modest and took a bite himself, Akito of course could feel the tense air but as they all ate they began to loosen up while Tohru smiled and served everyone their food. Momiji looked at Tohru.
"Your cooking is always the best." he said with a grin.
She blushed. "I don't know about that." she said.
"He's right you know, for once." said Kyo with a smirk.
"Hey that's mean!" exclaimed Momiji.
Kyo looked at Momiji and hit his head. "You little brat!" he exclaimed.
Wah! Kyo's hitting me!" exclaimed Momiji.
Akito watched the scene and soon he couldn't help but start laughing, which of course made everyone stop and stare, they couldn't remember a time when Akito had laughed. He laughed and laughed until he stopped and looked around.
"This...this is what a family is like? What it's supposed to be? All of us just together? Picking on each other, joking around, or discussing things like food and warmth? I've never seen this before but I...I hope I can become part of it." he said.
Tohru smiled and looked around. "Who wants desert?" she said.
Of course time passed while they ate desert and after the dinner Akito was in the wheel chair being wheeled back to Hatori's car and he looked to Tohru.
"Thank you." he said.
She smiled and bowed as he left. Momiji, Hiro, Kisa, and Ayame left with Hatori. Soon Shigure's house just had Kagura, Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, Haru, and of course Shigure left. Tohru looked around and began to clean up after dinner, Haru held Yuki's hand and they walked out to his garden, while Kyo and Kagura went to the roof and she lay her head on his shoulder. Things were perfect, Tohru knew things with Akito would take time, but they had taken their first steps towards a better future.
