Zodiac Boar

Welcome fiercelykindhearted!

"Oh, that’s very kind of you, Kagura." Akito spoke, genuinely grateful for her offer.

Akito had always observed the boar from afar until recently. She was a Zodiac, but she was never one that he truly pinned his interest on. She was just sort of there. He could barely even recall ever having a conversation with her. Did he ever? He didn’t think so. Akito had placed his attention onto others of interest such as Yuki and Kureno. His violent temper found pleasure with Isuzu and Kyo. The other Zodiacs were just sort of there, the background of a fascinating mural, important to the structure and balance but not as eye-catching as the center pieces.

Akito felt guilt for thinking this. All his Zodiacs were precious to him, even the ones whom he rarely had interaction with. But even he could admit….that he didn’t know the first thing about Kagura. Only that she had an odd infatuation with Kyo which he assumed had simply been a rumor spread around by the family. Recent sources, such as Shigure, had confirmed that this wasn’t a rumor and was whole heartily true. A source of confusion for Akito but he supposed to some, Kyo would be considered attractive.

"Kagura…" He trailed off, not sure of what to say. He dug through his brain for some sort of conversation starter but came up with nothing. He wasn’t good with conversing with people if there wasn’t a point to the conversation. Small talk was not something Akito was used to and if forced to, he always found himself stumbling and awkward.

But then something struck him. Yes, she was of age now where people went to collage.

"How is collage going?" He asked nervously. She did go to collage right? He vaguely remembered her approaching him for permission but the memory was foggy at best.

#500 years later #i am so sorry!

~((❤)) The boar stared at her god intently, waiting upon him to finish the sentence? College? That was the last thing she would have possibly imagined him asking her about. Come to think of it, this was the first time any academic related subjects had come up between the two. She figured Akito had been home school-- though she couldn't be too sure of the fact. Kagura knew she'd have to answer fast, or risk the conversation becoming any more awkward.

"I'm studying hard-- though I am still undecided with what I want to do," she trailed off slightly, thinking on how many times she had changed her major in the past year. It went along with her nature; she could be moody and stubborn. "Maybe I should take on like Haru-nii and become a doctor!" Her face filled with determination but it was a thought that would only lead her to failure. Kagura most definitely did not have the patience to be a doctor.

Her head turned from side to side, looking at the room around her. They few times she had been around Akito, she had never taken the time to look at his living space. It was all rather-- dark? That wasn't entirely true however, she could notice he had been trying to slowly liven the place up a bit more.

"--Have you ever considered putting some flowers around the house, Akito-sama? I think they would brighten the space much more. Not to mention all the health benefits--" She wasn't entirely certain if that last part was true.

God's final moment @fiercelykindhearted

His eyes widened when he saw Kagura almost the minute the stool hit the ground, he didn’t want to be saved, he had nothing to live for! Tears ran down Akito’s cheeks as his lungs filled with air, he let out a choked sob as he clawed at his throat slightly hoping that his nails were sharp enough to rip his throat apart, but of course they weren’t.

The god couldn’t handle going through the recovery again, the last time he had tried to take his own life Hatori stayed with at almost all times a day. Whenever he had his break then he would have Kureno in his room, he didn’t want it, he wanted it to be over already.

Her question shattered his already broken heart “I just can’t anymore" he choked out.

~((❤)) Kagura shook her head violently, on the verge of yelling at him as she always had with Kyo. What did he mean he couldn't anymore? He was their god, their leader-- how were the rest of the zodiac members suppose to live if he didn't? "Akito you have a lot ahead of you! Giving up like that-- I can't allow it!" the boar yelled loudly, partially hoping someone had hear her and would come help lower the god who she held on her shoulders.

Kagura felt stupid, stupid for having arrived so late-- maybe she could have talked him out of resorting to this, or have given someone some sort of warning. The god had seemed much more calmer and nicer recently, she would have never thought he wanted--

God's final moment @open starter

The god finished tying the noose in the rope he had found lying around, he was dressed in his all best. Akito attached the rope on a hook in the ceiling as he grabbed a stool to stand on putting on his newly made rode necklace. He slowly leaned forward and let gravity do the work as the stool slipped onto the ground and Akito hung from the ceiling.

~((❤)) Kagura had walked into Akito's room, having come to visit him once again. The boar had been coming much more often than before, but on this particular day had come a bit later due to some work she had to do around the house. The sight before her left Kagura completely shocked. Was he really-- Fear quickly began to set in as she tried to find the quickest way to get him down. Her first reaction was to get his legs onto her shoulder so he would be able to stay and not get as hurt.

As she did so, tears welled in Kagura's eyes. "Akito-sama.. Why?"

Welcome fiercelykindhearted!

Akito could see the that his seemingly indifferent attitude was doing nothing to soothe his boar, so he tried another tactic. One he had seen done before but never felt it necessary.

He sweetened his voice and gave the girl a small grin for it was all he could muster. “That’s good. And I’m doing fine. I was just coming out for a bit of fresh air. It gets so stuffy in this house sometimes. No one really to talk to." Akito added on sullenly.

Aside from the servants, who generally kept to themselves unless Akito spoke directly to them, there wasn’t anyone really to talk to. Sure, his Zodiacs sometimes would pay him a visit but that was few and far in between and such a visit was usually prompted by something they wanted or needed. Not exactly a social call.

#im so sorry this is so late

~((❤)) Although Akito did seem to be Akito very much out of the sorts, Kagura did prefer this side of him. He was usually much for violent, at least that's what the other zodiac members had told her. The boar was lucky-- Akito never seemed interested enough with her to want to bring her any harm.

"Well if you get lonely, you could always talk to me-- or someone else if you'd rather that." The boar was really trying her hardest to be polite around the head of the family, but once in a while would speak out of place; now would be a bad time for that. What had caused the god to go through such a huge change-- it was as if he wasn't even the same person anymore. Here he was, smiling so sweetly and talking to her, had he possibly fallen in love with someone and was seeking advice from Kagura? That thought made her giggle slightly.

Oh, fiercelykindhearted.

Shigure let out a sigh. Why was it that his house should have to suffer whenever Kagura decided to display her emotions? "Yes, I am sure. He told me this morning that he would be going to the dojo," he smiled weakly, “We should go back inside, Kagura." He walked through the door.

~((❤)) Kagura nodded slowly, feeling reassured that Kyo was not up to something suspicious. Her shy and calm behavior quickly returned and she followed her older cousin through the door. "U-um, I could help clean up the mess if you'd like? I'm sorry for the trouble i've caused."

Unable to help his trembling, Akito slowly removed his hands from his face, which were placed there to hide the tears that formed. Family. What does that word truly mean anymore? The Sohma’s were all broken, parents abandoning their children, abusing their children.. there’s fighting and grief whether he has a hand in it or not. Family- like mothers. Mothers shouldn’t say the things that woman has said to him.

"Being kind is foolish.. have others walk all over you?" he sniffled, but coughed to hide the sound.

#i am so sorry this is so late

~((❤)) "Being kind does not always mean others will walk over you--" The boar paused a bit, wanting to give the younger boy some time to reflect. He seemed on the verge on tears, and that was the last thing she wanted. Making Kyo cry; sure. But other family members was unacceptable, she did not want to be the cause for any more pain.

Most other Sohma's had it bad; Kagura had been among the lucky few to have loving parents, never having felt much burden for being cursed. Her only burden had been that one day at the park with Kyo-- She still felt guilty about it. "Akito-sama, would you like to go back inside?"

His fists clenched tightly, suddenly enraged. His first thought was to hit her, but his second thought was the realization that it would prove her right. ..This isn’t fair. She didn’t understand.. he had to! He didn’t hurt others to chase them away, it was ..to make them fear leaving all together. And- they’re all his.

“Why can’t you people just obey? You don’t know what I have to deal with!” Don’t tear up, not in front of her.

~((❤)) What he has to deal with-- Did he mean the curse, or was there something more to it? Either way, hurting others isn't going to help anyone's problem, nor keep the others from running away. "To force people to obey by using fear, that's only going to make them fear you and find that one opportunity to run away. It's not like we're all just going to get up and leave. We're a family, aren't we?"

Their family was closer in ways other families could never be. They all shared the same burden, and only they could understand each other. The smaller Akito looked like he was about to cry, something she'd never seen the Akito she grew up with do.

"Nobody is going to leave you if you try to be a little kinder, I can promise you that.

He didn’t want to end up that way.. not at all. This isn’t what his father told him, he’s supposed to be loved and never lonely. If this could be prevented-

“But why do I have to be the one to change things? Why not them?” Akito was God, he had to be in the right. Didn’t he? “What caused this to happen, do you know?”

~((❤)) "The way others behave isn't what's hurting you most, it's how you are behaving," she took a deep breath trying to find the right way to word her thoughts. No matter how she put it, it sounded quite harsh-- but that's how the god had been to them all this time.

"You like to hurt people, don't you? You need to realize that'll only chase others a way. In order to get something, you need to give something back. That's just how things are."

Akito wanted to shout something in anger, anything at all, but his throat was closed with fear. Alone and miserable? Lonely? But he was trying so hard to keep everyone under his control.. he honestly didn’t want to be alone. No, no no.. was that woman right all along? Were they all going to leave? Grow distant?

“I don’t understand.” He murmured out loud accidentally.

~((❤)) She made him feel bad again didn't she--? That's not something a little kid would want to hear about his future, why had she been so careless?

"Akito-sama, maybe this is your chance to stop the fate you're currently headed to! You really don't have to end up that way, but you wouldn't know if nobody told you! I'll help change things a little so you aren't so sad, okay?"

“The curse. That makes sense, though I wonder why we were never told about something like this befo- grumpy?” Akito looked down and bit his lip. Did things get worse as he got older? It doesn’t get better? “How am I grumpy?”

And what about her? Was she still destructive and short-tempered?

~((❤)) Kagura quickly regretted her comment, hoping it hadn't made him feel bad in any way. If she went back to her normal time and Akito still remembered, who knows what he'd do. "Well-- all i'll say is that you aren't a happy person, you always look so lonely and miserable in your room alone." The boar let out a soft sigh, placing a hand over her cheek. Was that it? Was she suppose to stop Akito from turning so destructive? Kagura wasn't even sure of the source of that-- other than the curse which was an impossible thing to change.

“I um,” he didn’t really want to answer but he didn’t want to make her upset, “I come from the east.” He was sweating nervously.
