Okay, My first FB fic/disclaimer but not my very first. Hope you enjoy it.

Chapter One: Without A Reason

"Tohru, Could you come to the main house tomorrow?"

"Umm, sure Hatori. Should I bring Shigure?"

"No. Akito said just you, alone."

"May I know the reason?"

"Akito didn't say. Sorry if this is a bad day for you."

"No, no, it's fine. I'll be there tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Tohru."

Click.

'Why would Akito want to speak with me alone so suddenly? Well, I'll find out, won't I?'

Tohru walked back into the kitchen to finish the dinner she was making for Shigure, Kyo, and Yuki once again. She stirred the stew and Shigure popped in.

"Ne, Tohru? What did Hatori want with the beautiful flower?"

"He wants me to the main house tomorrow to see Akito. Without you or anyone else coming with me."

"Hmm, I wonder what he wants to talk about. Ne, Tohru, don't you suppose-"

"NO DIRTY THOUGHT SHIGURE!"

Kyo had popped in just to hear the important stuff. He went to the fride and got the milk. He put it back after he was finished and tuned to Tohru.

"But all the same, that is odd for Akito to do, since he hates you and all. Are you sure you don't want anyone to come with you?"

Tohru shook her head. "No! I couldn't trouble you like that! And Akito said he wanted only be to come."

Kyo sighed and looked at Shigure. "Well? What to you think?"

Shigure looked up from thinking too hard, and commented, "I think we should go with Akito's word, since he is the head of the household, and all."

They both sighed and went to do whatever they did leaving Tohru pondering the reason even more than before.

oOOOOOOOOo

Tohru stood in front of the Shoma Main House. After being here three times already, it still made her wonder just how big it was. She stood there for a minute, wondering, when Momiji, jumped down in front of her from the roof and scared her half to hell.

"Good Morning, Tohru! Would you like to come in? Why are you here? Can I play with you?"

"Umm, Yes, I'm here to see Akito, and No, not right now.

"Aww, I wanted to play with Tohru. Anyway, Come on in!"

Momiji opened the gate and lead Tohru to Akito's room. He knocked and said Tohru was here. There was a slight pause, and then Akito said enter. Tohru opened the door and closed it again. She walked inside and sat down politely. Akito was outside and had his back to her.

There was a pause, then he said, "Tohru, what is it about you that makes all the Shomas you see, love you?"

"I don't know, Akito."

Akito stood up and said, "Could it be that you care more about other than yourself? Could it be that you say all the words they want to hear. Could it be that you're always cheerful?"

Akito was right in front of Tohru now and bent down to look at her eyes. She was blushing. "No! I'm not any of those things!"

"He he. Could it be your hair? You ordinary look?"

He touched her hair and combed through it once.

"Could it be that you have a sense of leadership? Could be that you are ordinary, but unique at the same time?"

Akito touched her check.

"If I die or fall in love, the curse will be lifted. But I won't allow that to happen. I want you to be in way over you head and regret to day you stepped on Shoma soil. I am going to do it, Tohru. You'll see."

"A...ki...to?"

"You may leave know. But not a whisper of a word that happened here should reach the other ears. You got that?"

"Hai!" Tohru got up and left the room, with Akito watching her all the way out. Momiji was down the hall and ran to Tohru. "Are you done now Tohru? Can we play now?"

"Well, I don't have any chores today, and no work, so yeah!"

"Yayyy! Tohru's goanna play with me!"

Momiji lead Tohru to another place with Akito watching her from his room window. Hatori came in and said, "What did you tell Tohru?"

Akito didn't turn to face Hatori. "It's a secret, you'll find out later."

oOOOOOOOOOOOo

Tohru got back to Shigure's house a few hours later.

"I'm home!"

Yuki and Kyo were both glaring at her. "Did Akito touch you in any way?"

Tohru sweat dropped and shook her head. "No, he didn't."

They both clamed down and Yuki asked, "What did he want to talk to you about?"

Tohru bit her lip and replied, "I can't tell you. He told me not to."

Kyo then yelled, "That Son Of A Bitch! He Knew She Wouldn't Tell Either!"

Yuki sighed and said, "How about some lunch, eh, Tohru?"

"Oh, Hai!"

oOOOOOOOOOOo

Tohru went to bed that night thinking Akito had accepted her in some way, his own way. She was only half right.

So, how was that? How badly to I suck? I'm not getting a C in English for nothing. Please read and review and tell me who you want to be the boy for Tohru. Thank you. I need sleep. It's midnight. -.-
