When they got back Ikki wanted to get his feelings off of his chest right away. There was no way he could let his guild go on any longer.
"Akito..." he began.
"Yes Ikki?"
"It's my fault..."
It was almost too obvious that Ikki would say that. After all that's what he always thought for the past year or so that Akito wasn't around. Akito just looked at him for a while; he wanted to tell the crow that everything was okay; that there was nothing to blame him for. But if he did, then he would be lying and he was not a person capable of lying. But at the same time he didn't want to just eat Ikki alive for problems that were inevitable to avoid. The shark thought very seriously about what he would say to his friend. Finally he had a response.
"You're right, Ikki. It is your fault. You're the one who brought us together in the first place." Said Akito. His voice was serious enough to get some of his point across but not enough to scold him. He didn't want to scold Ikki but he wasn't about to let the crow off the hook just yet. "Tell me, Why Ikki? Why did you set me up on that date?"
"Sigh. I was being a dumbass that day. I don't Know if you remember, but I didn't want people to think I was gay or anything like that so, I met Daisuke in an online chat room and I told him stuff about you so he would know who he was going with, Plus I told him where we would be meeting and everything. I knew he was kind of a jerk but I didn't think he would do this." Tears began to fall from his eyes. "I'm sorry Akito." That was the last thing that he could manage to say before getting overwhelmed with guilt and regret.
"You know, I used to think you were just playing hard to get when you acted like that. But now I know the truth. You never loved me and neither did that Goth freak. The only thing I can blame you for is bringing him in my life. Everything else that happened in that year is on me." Akito headed for the door in a depressed mood. "I think its time I moved on with my life and that you moved on with yours. Goodbye, Ikki." The door opened but neither man moved. That door stayed open for five minutes and Akito didn't move. Ten minutes passed and still silence. Twenty minutes pass with the same results. Finally after an hour of silence and stiffness, Ikki intervened. How, by going to the door to ease his ever-growing heartbreak.
"Akito! Don't leave! I know I was wrong! But I'll change. I was such an idiot a year ago but I'm a different person now! By the way what did you mean by 'everything else that happened in that year?'?"
The memories of those days haunted the shark all day every day. He could hardly sleep without the pain of his memories before and after his best friend disappeared forever.
"It was horrible; I was doing all the cooking, all the cleaning I had to support that loser while he was playing around with other men." Akito answered. "Oh sure, I tried to get past all of that. At least until he started fooling around every day of the week."
"Shit, was Daisuke that bad?"
"Bad? Just Bad? Ikki, it was firkin dreadful he even lied about his age. He told us that he was thirteen. It turns out he's really thirty…thirty! Oh my god I can't believe I slept with a thirty year old man!" Ikki was feeling ten times worse after finding out that the guy he was talking to online was actually a grown man that was basically a loser. Plus he set his own teammate and close friend on a blind date that seemed to go well and they ended up in a false- hearted relationship "Akito-" he started. The moment Ikki wanted to confess his feelings, he heard the door close. No, he thought. He's gone. Damn it. Why didn't I just admit how I felt about him in the first place! Ikki went upstairs into his room. He couldn't believe that after all that akito still hasn't forgiven him. It just as well. He thought. I wouldn't forgive me either. It was like any hope that he and Akito had for a future was lost with one slam of a door. The crow literally cried himself to sleep. (A/n: I wanted to end the story there but there was no way I could just leave it like that.)
The next day
There stood a mysterious figure on a remote beach. This person had on a black hooded cloak that covered most of his face. What he wore underneath that cloak was completely unknown. On that same beach was Akito. He went there to get away from all the pain and all the heartbreak from not one but both the boys he loved. The shark was sleeping there, hoping that a good nights rest would calm him down. However, despite the good sleep, there were fresh cuts all over his arms and some on his abdomen.
Flashback (Aktio's POV)
After leaving Ikki last night, I've decided that I cant take it anymore. There is no way I will ever be happy again. The person I used to be is gone forever and it's their entire fault. Ikki for setting me up on that stupid date, Daisuke for being a compulsive liar and a asshole but most of all it's my fault. I was foolish enough to think that anyone could love me. Maybe I am meant to be all alone. I don't care if I never love again as long as I don't end up heartbroken. There is no where else for me to go. Daisuke doesn't want anything to do with me and neither does Ikki, and I'll kill myself before I move back in with kaito. The only place I can go where I'm free is where angels are born. I found this beach just outside of Tokyo. It's a little dingy but it'll have to do for tonight I thought. But before I could get any sleep I needed to let out a little more stress. I pulled out my same razor and slowly slashed away at my stomach. It was so hard to do but I no one to turn to; not even Ikki will listen to me anymore. Oh well I will always love him even though right now I kind of hate him. Looks like it's over… goodbye cruel world. End flashback(normal POV)
The cloaked man wandered the beach; he had a tent and sleeping bags nearby. One of those sleeping bags was being used by akito. Shortly after he left Akito awoke. When he woke up he noticed that there was a sleeping bag covering his body. As he looked under it he saw that his shirt was gone but he still had his pants. Is there someone here? He thought. Next he saw that the cuts that he had on his arm had disappeared and some of the cuts on his abdomen were fading. Out of curiosity he wandered the beach, looking for his unknown helper. He wandered and wandered but didn't see much of anybody. A few more miles and he ran into the man with the black cloak.
"Hi," akito said, then he saw the cloaked mans eye it was the same green eye that he knew. "Do I…know you?" he asked.
The cloaked man walked towards akito, taking his hand.
"Akito," he said "we're closer than you think." With those words, the man leaned in and pressed his lips against akito's. Almost immediately, the shark new who was kissing him and it was the last person he expected to see again. The two were getting closer to the point of point of no return. Akito suddenly pulled away.
"Wait a minute!" he shouted. "We can't; I'm just not ready for this." The man with the cloak caressed the shirtless boy. "Now, now Akito, don't worry. I'll take care of you."
"Yeah but, I'm going through to much to think about that now please just leave me be." The shark protested. And yet His protests were ignored by this man's lust. "Stay away from me!" he shouted. Still the cloaked man continued his advances, still feeling the bluenette's body. Akito became scared. Who was this? Would this stranger try to hurt him? The man soon pushed him onto the sand, reaching for his zipper. "STOP IT! I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS!" He cried but his cries didn't yield him from his impending doom. The man unveiled himself from his cloak,Revealing long white hair and green eyes. "WHY ARE YOU HERE?" Akito asked. "Revenge…" the goth responded calmly.
Meanwhile Ikki was out running errands when he heard the loud scream of a familiar voice. Is that Akito? He thought. He sprinted to follow the voice in distress.
"Someone please HELP ME!"
"Silence you little twerp! that stupid crow can't save you now! You're mine, Akito-kun."
"No! You're wrong! he will find me and when he does you're dead!" Ikki finally reached where he heard the screaming from. He ran onto the beach and from a distance saw who looked Daisuke, sexually assaulting his akito. Out of sheer anger and love, IKki rushed to the crime scene and gave daisuke, a knuckle sandwich with a side of Hawaiian punch, and for the main course, extra crispy nuts. When this was over the Goth had not one but two black eyes, a broken arm, and a broken leg and crushed nuts. When he saw that Ikki was about to give him another round, he sped outta there faster than a cheetah running after a midmorning lunch.
An hour after that near death fiasco, Ikki couldn't hold his emotions in; he felt even guiltier than ever after finding out everything that happened since he made that horrible mistake. But the shark wouldn't dare give him room to grieve. "Ikki, stop crying, none of this is your fault. I shouldn't have stormed out like that."
"Maybe but, you were cutting yourself. You even tried to kill yourself last night. How can I ever forgive myself for-?" Just then the crow was cut of by akito's kiss. He couldn't think at all after what had just happened. When he broke the kiss it felt like everything that happened in the past was behind them now. "I don't ever want to let you go, I love you, Akito." Said Ikki.
"I love you too, Ikki-kun."
