IT BLOSSOMS, hatori sohma [Fruits Basket]

Chapter Fifty Nine

Prior to Ryu regaining control, Akito, seething with anger, unleashed her frustration from her recent confrontation with Dragon, Akito unleashed her fury on Kyo and Tohru.

She targeted Kyo first, employing manipulation and guilt-tripping tactics to wear down his emotional resilience, pushing him to the brink of mental and emotional collapse.

Her onslaught was relentless, each word a dagger aimed at the core of Kyo's being.

The onslaught continued, Akito's words biting and manipulative. She skillfully twisted every syllable into a weapon, aiming to break Kyo's spirit completely. She knew his weaknesses, and she exploited them mercilessly.

The air in the room grew tense, and Kyo could feel the weight of her words crushing his resistance.

After exerting her control over Kyo, Akito proceeded to converse with Shigure, a conversation that pushed her to the limits of her sanity. In a fit of anger and frustration, she stood up from her seat and set out to find Tohru, her mind seething with the desire to vent her pent-up emotions.

With every step she took, Akito's anger grew. Her mind was filled with a mix of fury and a manic determination to find Tohru. She didn't know what she would say or do once she finally came face to face with her, but the need to lash out consumed her completely.

The night was filled with a torrent of revelations and turmoil. Akito, in a moment of unveiled honesty, revealed her true nature as the god of the Zodiac to Tohru, stating unequivocally that Tohru would never possess the ability to break the curse.

Moreover, she delivered a devastating blow with the news that once Kyo completed his schooling, he would be condemned to a fate of isolation and confinement, mirroring the fate of all the previous cats before him.

Tohru stood frozen, her world shattered and confusion rippling through her. Each revelation seemed to send shockwaves crashing through her heart, leaving her trembling with a mix of disbelief and horror. The weight of Akito's words cast a shadow over her hope, and the truth laid bare before her was a cruel, unforgiving reality.

The air seemed to thicken in on Tohru as the gravity of it all sunk in. The realization that her hopes and dreams, the future she had envisioned with Kyo, were nothing more than fragile illusions hit her with the force of a wave. Each word seemed to echo in her mind, drowning out any other thought, leaving her feeling helpless in the face of Akito's cruel revelations.

Tohru could do nothing but stand there, her mind and heart reeling from the overwhelming information. The Sky spun around her, and she struggled to find her voice. The words lodged in her throat, failing to respond coherently to the devastating news.

Yet, amidst the confusion and despair, a small spark of determination flickered within Tohru. She couldn't allow herself to be overcome by despair. She had to find a way to fight this cruel fate that loomed over Kyo like a dark cloud, to prevent him from being sealed away.
