Lines by Akito Sohma 8
Is it okay for me to have my own life now, father, now that I'm not special anymore?
DON'T LEAVE ME!
Father... I'm not...'special'... or 'God'...anymore. It's okay... for me to become... just plain old... 'Akito' now, right?
Somebody! Somebody...help me!
It would be nice to live in a kind world. Without fear, without any troubles, without hurting anybody, without ever being hurt. Only doing the right thing. I wish I could reach this world by the shortest path possible.
I hate this world...where 'promise', 'bond', and 'eternity' doesn't exist. There is no guarantee that I'll be...loved.
I want to believe that I'm not wrong...I want to believe that...life isn't full of darkness. Even if storms come to pass...the sun will shine again. No matter...how painful and hard the rain may beat down on me.
Scenes with Akito Sohma 3
It must've been very painful, Akito...being told the day you were born, you were going die. It must've been so painful.
What was!? What would you know about it!?!
You're right. I can't even imagine how awful it would be to know something like that, or how terrifying. Shigure and Yuki and Kyo I'm sure they feel the same way, and Hatori too. And when you pass away, we'll be sad. We'll be very sad to lose you. And so...
Heh. Who's going to be sad? Everyone is able to live thanks to me. They all hope I will be gone quickly. I was born in order to die. That's how it was decided.
But why? Who decided it had to be like that? Akito, right now you're alive aren't you?
Alive!? You call this being alive, do you?! It's been decided! It's been decided, and they never even asked me!
I-I didn't know my mom was going to die-
Silence! Stop talking! Hatori, I want you to erase this girl's memory. Do it now! [Hatori hesitates] Hatori!
I wanted her to live a long time. I wanted her to be here to watch me.
Akito [voice cracking]: Stop crying! Stop it, stop crying!
And I don't know what your family's curse is, but I'm happy. I'm happy that I know you, Akito. And I don't regret meeting you, or anyone, not at all. I wanna know you. Please tell me how you feel. Even if you're bitter or angry or frustrated, that's okay because the important thing now, Akito... You're alive. [pause; Akito lets Tohru's hair go; he knocks Yuki and Shigure down]
All right. What is it?
Why'd you push Rin out a window? Why would you do something like that?
What? I did...what? I pushed Isuzu? That's news to me. Who told you that?
The heavens revealed it.
Huh? [laughs] You never change do you? You're as dumb as ever.
Don't laugh! Why would you do that? Were you trying to kill her?
...Hmph. You'll believe the heavens, but you won't believe your God. Fine. Let me ask you something, Hatsuharu. Why would you get so angry about Isuzu in the first place? You've always been kind to her. Do you feel sorry for her? Did you feel you couldn't leave her? Maybe it was just pity.
[punches wall] Because I love her! And I know you knew that! Don't pretend you didn't! ...Where is she? Where's Rin? You know. Don't you?! You know where she is!
...This is ridiculous. Where did you get an idea like that?
You were always cold to Rin. If I was always kind to her...then you...were always cold. To Rin. To women. I know how much you hate them! Twice as much as anyone else! You have no problem saying cruel things. You do cruel things. If you're supposed to be our Master...you have to be more--
So you realize all that, do you? Interesting. And yet, you tell me things like "I love Rin", right? Even though you knew that I hate Isuzu? You told Isuzu that you love her, didn't you? Even though you knew?
...Where is she? Where? Where is Rin right now?
You're so obstinate. Look I don't know-
[grabs Akito] Where is she?! Where did you put her?! Get her out!
I just told you!--I don't know! You always make everything my fault!
Excuse me. Are you... Akito? [flashback of Akito at the main Sohma house; Akito stops in front of her]
Yes, I am... Miss Tohru Honda. [Tohru's eyes widen]
Uh, pleased to meet you. [she bows; thinking] I don't believe it. W-why would Akito be here at school? Oh, I never thought I'd have to meet him by myself like this! But I'm surprised; h-he looks so young, and he's handsome, too, almost as handsome as Yuki. Still, this is the same person who hurt Hatori's eye. [Akito chuckles]
You're very polite. I'm glad. You seem to be a good person. And not only that, you're extremely cute. [Tohru looks up]
Oh no, not really! [Akito chuckles]
So, you're modest, too. I mean it. You really are cute. I'm sorry I didn't say hello when I saw you at the main house. I tend to be rather shy around strangers. I hope you're not angry.
Oh no! Not at all!
Well, that's good. I should introduce myself properly. I'm Akito, head of the Sohma family. I'm pleased to meet you.
No, no! The pleasure's all mine, really! [she whimpers; thinking] It's strange. His personality seems much more gentle than I imagined.
I do hope you and I can be friends from now on... [he stares at her] ...just as you are with Yuki and Kyo.
