Akito - known as the heartless devil - in the Sohma family, rests her drained body by the edge of the small window in the dark room. Feeling the refreshing air blow in her beautiful pale face, and nape-long black hair. Her long messy bangs frames her thick eyelashes and sharp brown eyes, wearing a purple and a white robe designed for men.

She hides her female figure by dressing in many layers of male clothes, sometimes normal or oversized.

No one knows why she's hiding her real sex in front of other people, and most of all - in front of the Sohma's. The only persons who has a clue, is Akito herself, and Kureno.

Akito hears small birds chirping outside near the open window. Slowly raising her head to take a look at them pecking on the ground.

"They seem so carefree to be so small and puny." Akito began, "I bet they're going through hell in this big, dark world. Don't you agree, Kureno?"

Kureno, her closest comrade stands in the middle of the gloomy atmosphere, "They have their problems to avoid, just like any other animal."

"Ah, why so serious?" Akito smiles cheekly in Kureno's direction, "Can't you take a joke for once?"

He walks over to her, sitting down next to her, "Apologize for my lack of humor." Akito extends a calm hand to his blank face, stroking his cheek, "Don't apologise, my dear Kureno. I did not fall for you because of your sense of humor, did I?"

"Guess not." Kureno mumbles under his breath, not moving at Akito's cold touch.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked, aware he's pondering about something he'd rather keep to himself.

"..." he hesitated to speak for a second, choosing his words carefully, "You know that girl who wanted to see you today?"

"Yes." Akito drew back her hand, gaze tenebrous, "What about her?"

"She claimed she were one of the Sohma's, and knew who you are."

"Who doesn't?" Akito's lips quirks into a callous smile, "Everyone knows me."

"No, I mean... She knows your gender." Kureno informed sincerely, looking her straight in the eyes swarming of torment.

"..." Her already unemotional voice sinks deeper, and the inhuman smile disappeared quickly, "Name?"

Kureno considered her for a minute, and she asked again, more threatening than before, "Give. Me. A. Name."

"Blue Sohma."

Akito's brown orbs dilated hearing her older sister's name after many, many years. But she quickly brushed it off, choosing not to believe it, "Not possible. Blue is dead."

"She appeared very much alive--" Akito harshly interrupts Kureno, "No, you don't know that! It must be an imposter." She got up on her feet, losing her temper, "Damn it, why the hell did you let that piece of scheming whore get away?!"

"Cause you told me to." Kureno's slender eyebrows raised.

"Agh! You don't fucking understand how it's affecting me!!" Akito starts to yell, hands and fingers trembling in rage, "Blue is no more! Blue is NOT a Sohma! She is a nobody!" Out of pure anger she pulls Kureno on his feet and screamed in his face, "A TRAITOR!!!"

"A-Akito, calm down!" Kureno tried his best comforting Akito in her time of fury, but right now her mind was too far gone to listen to him. With a empty heart, and a burning soul she burst out of the Sohma house to find wherever Blue's hiding. Kureno sticks to Akito's heels, trying to speak some sense into her devilish being, but she refused taking his words to account.

There's a dark cloud heading Blue's way.

Will she be able stopping it, or will the lightning strike her before she gets the chance retaliate?
