I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw Akito in Hatori's office. Am I still not ready to be around her? None of it made sense— actually.. it does. I'm not going to give her the satisfaction of seeing me right now.
Not when I'm nothing but a toy for her. She must be out of her damn mind.
And I still haven't gotten an apology. Not that I was really expecting one, it is Akito we're talking about. The whole incident plays in my head like it happened yesterday.
Slapping her felt so good. I'm honestly surprised I was able to dodge getting my shit rocked because Hatori and that hag showed up last minute.
I was walking back from the office to my room. I had a small, knitted pouch Momiji had given to me. Attached to the little yellow bag was a bunny and a [insert your birth month zodiac] on it. He told me how hard he had worked on it.
Momiji has been coming over a lot to cheer me up and has even made me a little gift. The plan was to show Hatori but to my demise, Akito was also in the room.
Are we ever going to make up? It's hard to say unless she realizes what she did was wrong. Another thing I'm highly doubtful about. How much longer will this go on? The tension is driving me insane.
I headed back to my room before I was approached by the head maid. She had her arms crossed and I could tell she was about to start spouting nonsense.
"And where are you off to?" Madame asked, raising a brow. She's been extra obnoxious ever since that day. I sighed, holding my hands behind my back to hide the small pouch that was given to me.
She didn't know Momiji was constantly visiting, let alone giving me things. I wasn't about to let her confiscate this.
"To my room. I've finished my duties today if that's what you're about to nag me about." I responded bluntly as she shook her head with disappointment at my tone. Madame was over my snarky attitude and had grown accustomed to it. To shorten it, she didn't let herself get bothered by my remarks anymore.
"Your chores are done. Good. But that's not what I wanted to say." She stated, stepping closer to look up at me. "What did you do to Akito?"
She's been asking me this same question all month to which I've never given her the truth. She stared at her silently, not responding and not to her surprise, she expected it.
Madame huffed, turning her head away before pinching the bridge of her nose. "You will have to tell me eventually. It will all come to light soon enough." She shot, walking past me without another word.
Was she right? I'm not sure. I want it to come to light, but not to her. Not really to anyone but me and Akito. It was our business. Our feud to settle, so why was this woman pushing so much?
It was my turn to sigh as I walked to my room, staring at my pouch.
Truthfully, the only person I've told about this was Momiji. Not the full story where I slapped her. I'm not sure if he'd freak or support the action, but it was funny to think about.
He said how he'd prefer if I at least tried to talk to Akito and settle things, but he never told me to apologize. At least not first.
Momiji told me he understood my fury and why I didn't want to speak to her all together. He was so understanding. Would Hatori be as understanding as him? He's older.. there for he thinks more logically. He'd be the one who'd freak if he knew I put my hands on her.
When I made it to my room, I shut the door and sighed. My mind was racing with constant thoughts about what to do. It was tiring. I just wanted to shut it off.
The best way to do that was to sleep, right? Maybe a nice nap could help..
