Destined?

Chapter 04

Do I still hate her?

Yuki's POV

I stood there, still processing what she had told me just a minute ago. 

'Do I...really still hate her?'

3rd's POV

"Do you read some books too Yu-chan?"  a young (y/n) asked Yuki with curious eyes looking at his calm ones. "Only a few..." he answered quietly. "What is your favorite genre?" she asked once again. "F-fantasy" he shyly answered she smiled at his cuteness. "It's my favorite too! and romance" they read and read until it was time for her to go back. "Let's read again tomorrow my prince" (y/n) bowed like a real princess, he lightly chuckled at her action and waved one last time at his 'friend'.

________________

Yuki smiled a little, remembering that certain memory. 

He kept all the books (y/n) had given to him when they were still a child. He remembered when (y/n) gave him her most treasured book to him. It's his most treasured book now because whenever he reads it...it reminded him of them.

"The Rat Prince and The God's Daughter"

He put it back at his study table. He decided to go downstairs and eat dinner. As he got to the last step, he heard laughter by the table where they usually eat. Yuki thought it was (y/n)'s laugh but it was just Tohru's. He sighed and walk towards them. 

'Of course she wouldn't be here'

________________

(Y/N)'s POV

A slapped was heard throughout Akito's room. It was me who she slapped.

Some days Akito had her bad mood and today is one of them. She was mad at Kureno because he went home past his curfew today. 

I stood in front of Kureno to stop my sister from hurting him. She got furious and slapped me instead. It didn't hurt me though I was so used to her abuse ever since Yuki left the main house  that I became her stress reliever.

"Let's calm down first Akito" I told her while holding her hands gently. It calmed her down a little. "Please give us alone time for now" I said to the maids and Kureno as they walked outside the room.

Yuki's POV

"(y/n)-chan what happened to you!?" I heard someone said rather loud, I presumed it was Honda-san. Curious on what's happening I glanced behind me. My eyes widen a little. (y/n) has some bandages to her face and to her right arm. '...What happened?'

I don't know what had gone through me. It's not like I cared before but the second I saw her current state I immediately went to her. 

"Y-Yuki-!?" I walked outside of our classroom with her behind me. "Why..?" she asked confused.

"Akito did this...right?" 

She didn't answer and stayed quiet with her head looking down. "You hate me...so why- why are you doing this to me!?" she said while clutching where her heart could be. "I did..." I muttered. 

"Don't start to be nice to me Yuki...because it'll just give me hope that I know will never come true!"

"What do you mean (y/n)..?" I know what she means but I tried to deny it because it'll just open the lid that I had closed for so long. "I'm such a fool to believe that we are the destined one. I was naive back then, believing in such stories in such books"

'That book that she gave to me...'

"I did hate you at some point...but now that I've realized something I don't think that I can hate you anymore"

Because she is the younger sister of the current god. Us cursed with zodiacs can hold and hug her without transforming, so I took this as a chance to hug her. She eventually hugged me back.

"I'm sorry"
