Back to ze past

"Good to be back." He said and smiled at her. "Go on, go away before you cut the line and don't get enough sleep. Anger isn't helpful" He said and shooed her off.

----------

"Maybe. A little. He hasn't moved." He said and shoook his hair out. "At all. I can't just leave either.

Elizabeth smiled and moved off into her room.

"I've seen him come through worse." Amaterasu said, wrapping her arms around him and bringing him closer."You need a break." She kissed one side of his neck. "Just a small one." She kissed the other side. "He's not going anywhere."

"But i can't leave him alone." He said, locking his arms around her. "He might wake up with nobody here. I couldn't do that to him. I should have pried about his head, it''s half my fault he's lilke this. The least I can do is actually be there foor him when he wakes up."

"We don't even have to leave the hut." Amaterasu said. "Worring is a full time job, but even people get breaks in full time jobs." She wrapped her arms about his neck. "Just for an hour." She kissed him. "Or two?"

Sadaharu shook his head, pulling away from her slightly. "Ama, don't." He sighed. "You say that he might wake up in his own time, so I'm going to be right here when that happens."

"Your going to kill yourself the way your going!" Amaterasu snapped. "If I didn't know better I would swear your loylties lay else where. He's your bestfriend, well he's my brother and the only person left alive like family to me. So stop all this moping would ya!"

"I'm not moping! He sawved my life! On more occasions than one. The least I can do is be here." He said, raising his eyebrows. "You can't make me disregard that."

"You havn't shown any signs of loving me since way back." Amaterasu growled, turning around and choping some potatos. "Is it because I'm ugly, or because you've grown impotanent."

Sadadharu sighed and rose a hand to massage his forehead. "Come on Ama, just because i don't want to turn around and find your brother dead shouldn't mean anything else, can't you just leave it be?"

"He's in a coma and you sitting around waiting for him to wake isn't going to change that!" Amaterasu snapped. "What if he did start to die? What would you do? You know nothing of these matters!"

"If her were dying I'd rather be here with him than off somewhere enjoying myself." He shot back, starting to look angry. "Amaterasu, I'm not going to just leave him alone and let him die. Sure, I may not be making a difference by keeping an eye on him, but at least he won't be alone. I can't just pretend he's not here!"

"Are you- You little waste of air!" Amaterasu exclaimed. "FIne, stay here. Feed him, wash him and watch him to your hearts content." Amaterasu threw the knife into the wall. "Because I can't stand the look of you any longer! You and your, worry for my brother!"

She stormed out.

Sadaharu sighed when she left and looked to his hand, now folded in his lap. He just couldn't do anything right at the moment. He moved to stand by Yuki's side. "Why didn't you tell anyone?" He demanded to the unnmoving Yuki and then sighed, squaring his shoulders. "You idiot." He breathed and touched a hand to Yuki's hair as he leaned over him. He hovered over his for a moment, able to feel Yuki's steady breaths on the side of his cheek. "Wake up." He murmured and then touched his lips to Yuki's, closing his eyes.

At that moment, the door was opened again. Someone had forgotten their change purse.

She froze., her eyes wide. "I get it now. You... With my..." Amaterasu laughed and walked back outside.

Sadaharu cursed and moved outside after her, unable to believe he'd made the situation worse. "Ama, wait, just listen to me!"

"Listen to you?!" Amaterasu yelled, turning to look at him as she started to step towards him. "To what! The reason why you were kissing my brother?! Don't say it was some sort of way to make him breath, he was breathing fine and yu were kissing him! Were you always a faggot! Or is this a new development?!"

He didn't interrupt, he deserved it. "Just, wait." He grimaced and ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "Look, I- I tried okay? I just, I didn't know what to do!" He crossed his arms defensively.

"Didn't-Didn't know. You don't think! YOu never do!" Amaterasu yelled. "Your a selfish, no brained son of a whore and you yourself arnt much different. Cant love anyone but Mummy can you, can't love another girl like dear old mummy. It was always Yuki wasn't it, It was never me... Always my brother..."

"I did love you, okay?!" He growled. "I did, I never lied to you about that." He dropped his hands to his side and shook his head. "Yes, I didn't think. Maybe I never do, but I did what I could to not hurt you. I tried!" He exclaimed. "I'm just so damnned confused!" He snapped.

"Confused, and you didn't think to share this confusion?! I have every right mind to stab something sharp and rusty through your heart." Amaterasu growled before turning around. "If I ever see your face again, I will kill you."

"Ama!" He pleaded. "Don't do this, can't you just- God, I'm sorry, just don't take it like this!"

"I hope your happy with your choice." Amaterasu said, tears coming to her own eyes. "I hope your proud. Your nothing more than a Ponce and you dragged me into this. My heart is the one that gets broken and I don't have someone to fix it. You disgust me. You and that brother of mine. I hope that he never wakes that way you will suffer with every passing minute. I curse you Sadaharu. I curse that you will never feel true happiness. And I will make sure that this happends, ven f I have to come back from the dead."

Sadaharu took a step back. "A-Ama," He started. "How could you say something like that! I never meant to do this!" He said, quickly becoming angry.

Amaterasu looked at him, her eyes stuck in the black phase."You meant it." She whispered. "Meant everything you did and you knew what your actions would cause. Selfish, horrid and childish. One day your heart will be cut out and even then, you wont understand the pain I feel. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Sadaharu's insides felt like they were frozen. "Listen to yourself! You call me childish and selfish and then go so far as if to curse me? Can't you hear yourself? You would never do something like this!" His face shifted in desperation. "Ama, just stop for a moment!"

Taro served up dinner for the twins and smiled as he nodded at whatever the boy was saying. He didn't have the heart to admit he wasn't listening to the beginning of the boy's sentance and just nodded in the apropriate gaps of speech as he chattered.

Mori hummed as he walked home, barely able to string two thoughts together. He didn't mind though. Rin. What a beautiful woman. And always ready witth the sake. It was a win win situation. A small sigh left his lips as he walked into the hut.
