A/N: Bonjour mes aims! Ça va? I am officially going to attempt to write a full fanfic and not just a one shot. I literally have nothing for this planned. Eh, well I have a few things but just for the beginning. So I don't even know how this is going to end. This is really just to get back in the writing spirit. I know who everyone is going to end up with though! I think. Eh, its a working process. Everyone is going to be a bit OOC but its a freaking fanfic! I'm allowed to do that! Also, this will be more based around the manga than the anime. I will change things here and there to fit my story line.
WARNING! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS TO BOTH THE MANGA AND ANIME!

Chapter One
Summer
"Laugh until your body aches, cry until you start to shake. Live like the world is yours to take and love as though your heart won't break."
This was Honda Tohru's first summer no longer as a high school student. She had graduated just a few days ago with Yuki, Haru, Kyo, Momiji, Arisa, and Saki (they went to Rin's and Kagura's graduation first at her all girl's school). All of the Sohma's had attended the graduation – even Akito – and Tohru's grandfather. Her grandfather had said the only time he had been that happy had been when she was born and when her mother came into his life.
Akito was silent during the whole event but had a small smile on her face. Ever since that horrible day when Tohru got hurt after offering her friendship and the curse was broken, Akito had been making an effort to be friendlier... especially towards Tohru. Tohru and Akito had actually spent a pretty good amount of time together already. Akito had invited Tohru over – and she of course eagerly agreed – to spend time with her. Akito was really making an effort to change and it warmed Tohru's heart. Of course, only Tohru, Hatori, Shigure, Ayame, and Kureno knew she was a female. That was the one thing she wasn't ready to give up just yet, and Tohru respected her wish and continued to keep Akito's secret.
Akito herself had actually arranged a summer vacation for the them all at the summer villa. In an effort to be kinder to Tohru she had even allowed her to invite over Arisa and Saki, who are still unaware of the Sohma's former curse.
Though the curse was gone, everyone still feared and respected Akito, doing as she asked. Akito refused to make them love her like she used to – of course she still lost her temper from time.
oooOOooo
Tohru had just finished helping Yuki and Kyo packing for the trip to the summer villa – Shigure had insisted he did not need any help from his "little flower." She was now packing her own clothes and essential items for the trip. She had no idea what kinds of things they would be doing so she wasn't sure what to pack. What if she packed clothes that were casual and they went to a nice restaurant? Or what if they went to a casual restaurant and she dressed to formally? She was determined to not be a burden and not mess anything up this summer.
Tohru sighed in frustration as she rummaged through her closet. She had all sorts of clothes now thanks to the Sohma's and Arisa and Saki. They always told her she needed clothes for every occasion, you never knew what might pop up! Tohru was, of course, grateful of everything they had done to her and was always trying to find ways to return their kindness, despite their protests.
Tohru skimmed through some of her clothes, deciding she didn't need her winter ones. Alright, her choices were narrowed now. She grabbed her swim suit, knowing she would need that. Arisa and Saki had insisted on her getting another new one, one that made her look like a woman. It was true. She had matured in many ways over the course of time. She was still rather short (she's the shortest at 5ft) but her chest was now in a respectable D-cup and her but was as perky as ever. She had grown into her lovely curves and her hair went to her mid back. She may appear older but she didn't feel any older, not really. That didn't stop Arisa and Saki from getting her a two piece. It was a slightly darker shade of cyan. The top was held up only by strings tied around her neck and back. The bottoms were a cute skirt piece that emphasized her hips.
Once her swim suit was put up she went back to her closet. She decided on packing a few formal outfits and a few pajamas. She was embarrassed by her pajamas though, she almost didn't want to pack them. Once again, Arisa and Saki insisted she needed more "mature" pajamas. They had gotten her a dark blue, silky nightgown with thin straps on her shoulders that only went to her mid upper thigh. Was she to lift her arms or stretch in it, parts of her body she would rather keep hidden would be shown to the world. She reluctantly packed the pajamas and then added plenty of underwear and socks.
Her bag was soon full with the things she would need and she zipped it up and put it near the door in the main room so she could quickly grab it when they went to leave. She would be making breakfast at the villa for every Sohma and Arisa and Saki. So she need to go to the store and go get groceries.
Hm... I don't want to go everyday. I shouldn't burden people to walk to the store with me to help me carry lots of groceries. I'll just grab enough food to last a couple of days and go shopping again later, instead of doing it everyday. I should ask if Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun would like to go with.
Tohru found the two boys arguing in the middle of the living room.
"You stupid rat!"
"Must you always complain, you idiot cat?"
"You know I hate leeks! Why the hell are you trying to make me eat them?"
"To see if it could silence you." Yuki sighed.
"STUPID RAT!" Kyo yelled, attempting to strike Yuki.
Yuki nonchalantly moved out of the way, causing Kyo to hit the hard floor.
"Will you ever give up?" Yuki sighed once more.
"Curse or no curse, I will defeat you!"
Yuki just shook his head and went back to snacking on some leeks.
Tohru couldn't help but smile at the scene. They might have argued a lot but she knew they truly did care for one another; they just had a different way of showing it. It was when they weren't arguing that she got worried.
Tohru cleared her throat, no longer as nervous as she use to be when they fought.
They both turned to look at her.
"Do you need help packing, Tohru-chan?" Yuki asked sweetly (A/N: I'm not good with the whole honorific thing so please don't flame me for using them wrong. I'm still learning. So I may stop using them at some point if it gets to difficult for me)
Tohru blushed. "I... I was just wondering if you would like to go to the store with me. I need to get food for a couple days so I can cook at the villa. Of-of course you don't have to! I mean I completely understand if you don't want to go. I just thought it might be fun. You don't have to go. Just forget I asked, you're probably-"
Kyo put his hand over her mouth. "Tohru..." he sighed. "You know we don't mind going. You couldn't carry all the bags anyways." he said softly.
Tohru blushed and Kyo removed his hand. "O-okay." she said, rather flustered.
Kyo and her had an odd relationship. They had only ever kissed once but neither admitted love for the other. It was almost like an understanding between them. Both of them cared for the other but neither was sure what they truly felt. They needed time to figure things out, and they both understood that. Kyo wasn't sure he was ready for a relationship just yet. He defiantly didn't want to push Tohru into one either, especially if she wasn't sure what she wanted. So until the time came to confront one another of their feelings, they would flirt (mostly on Kyo's side) and look out for one another. He knew they had something... he just didn't know what.
Kyo gave Tohru a soft smile.
"Kyo – though I hate agreeing with that idiot cat – is correct Tohru. We love to go to the store with you. And there is no way you could possibly carry all of those groceries all by yourself. There is no need to try and do this all by yourself. You may harm yourself!" Yuki said in his usual calm and caring way.
Tohru gave him a sweet smile which warmed the former mouse's heart. "Thank you." She bowed to them both.
"Stop acting like its a big deal." Kyo said gruffly, still trying to adjust to such blatant affection. He never knew how to respond to things like that.
Yuki hit the former cat on the shoulder and got a glare in return.
"Are you ready to leave now. Tohru-chan?" Yuki asked cheerfully.
"Yes! Wait. No. I... I just need to grab my wallet. I'm sorry! I should have made sure I was ready before I asked if you guys wanted to go. I'm sorry." She began to bow in apology. "It won't take but just a moment. I'm s-" Kyo once again put his hand over her mouth.
"It's not a big deal. Stop apologizing for everything, alright? You don't even need your wallet. I'll pay." Kyo said, shrugging.
Tohru's eyes grew wide as Kyo removed his hand. "Oh no! I could never let you do something like that! You have all already done so much for me! The least I could do is pay for the food, especially since its my responsibility to do the cooking anyways."
Kyo sighed. "Tohru. I'm paying and that's final." he said firmly.
Tohru opened her mouth to protest but Kyo placed his hand over her mouth once more.
"Tohru! It's alright. Save your money for a rainy day." he gave a small smile.
Tohru nodded reluctantly. Kyo removed his hand.
"Good. Now lets go or we'll miss the bus. I don't want Hatori to give us a lecture on how we should be more mindful of time."
Yuki nodded in agreement as he thought about having to spend so much time with his older brother. He was closer to his brother, sure, but he could only stand his bubbly personality for so long.
Tohru nodded and they slid their shoes on as they walked out of the house. As they were walking Kyo slowly moved closer and closer to her until they bumped into each other. Tohru turned a bright red and all Kyo could think about was how cute she looked.
Before he felt the urge to back down he intertwined their fingers and gave her hand a light squeeze. Tohru didn't jump like she would have done in the past. She simply looked up at him and gave him a heart-warming smile, causing him to get an odd feeling in his stomach which he oddly liked. She returned the small squeeze and leaned on him a little as they walked.
Yuki ignored the affection they were giving each other. He just couldn't watch; he was burning with jealousy.
Why should I be jealous. I... I have come to see Tohru as a motherly figure to me. Why should I be jealous of her and Kyo? It's not like they are even dating! Baka cat... They are just friends... friends hold hands, right? Yuki thought to himself as he tried to rid himself of the jealousy he was feeling at the moment. He was feeling selfish once more, something he was trying hard to change about himself.
Kyo and Tohru did not notice Yuki struggling with his own thoughts. Kyo was to busy admiring Tohru as they walked and Tohru seemed like she was almost in a daze as she became lost in her own thoughts.
The trip to the store was silent and seemed to take hours as far as Yuki was concerned, even though it only took about twenty minutes. Once at the store, Tohru reached into her skirt pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper. As always, Tohru had made a list of things to be sure and get.
"I-I made a list of things to get. If... if there is anything you guys would like to add... please, tell me." Tohru said as she pulled her hand away from Kyo. Her hand missed his warmth but she had to unfold the paper and would need both hands to shop.
Yuki took the shopping list and read it. "I think you've thought of everything Tohru. There is something on here that everyone will like, even Akito." Yuki said with a winning smile.
Tohru blushed but was extremely happy that she had thought of something for everyone. "Good! I hope everyone will be happy with what I'm getting."
"They will be, stop worrying so much Tohru. Everyone loves you and everyone loves your cooking." Kyo said, trying to comfort her. "If they aren't happy they can just suck it up." He grunted.
Yuki smacked the back of his head, as if to tell him to lose the attitude.
Tohru gave a sweet smile. "You guys don't have to stay with me if you don't want. I don't mind. I can get all the food while you look around."
"Don't be stupid. Of course we're staying with you." Kyo rolled his eyes.
Tohru no longer over reacted at this sort of thing, knowing that he was just showing he cared when he called her stupid. She knew he didn't really mean it... he just didn't know how else to express himself.
"Thank you." She bowed to both of them.
"It's our pleasure, Tohru." Yuki grinned.
Tohru blushed and went and grabbed a shopping basket. She began checking things off her list as she started to grab the food they would need. Yuki and Kyo both admired how she was very careful picking out what to grab. She would carefully examine everything, making sure it was in good condition and then carefully put it in the basket. She was always so gentle, as if she was afraid to damage her goods. However, her basket was soon full and she still had much more food to get.
Before she could say anything Kyo went and grabbed another basket. "Just put everything else in here." He smiled.
"I'm so sorry. You're already paying for everything! I shouldn't be making you carry a basket around for me! I'm so sorry, Kyo! I can carry both, its okay! Really I do-" Kyo placed his hand over her mouth.
"Stop. If I didn't want to carry it I wouldn't have grabbed it, okay?"
Tohru nodded, blushing like crazy.
Kyo removed his hand. "Good. Now keep shopping..." he mumbled.
Tohru nodded and continued to shop, now putting the groceries in Kyo's basket. Yuki watched as he acted as the hero for Tohru and it made him angry, though he hid his anger like it wasn't even there.
Why am I so jealous? It's Tohru's choice who she wants to be with. She is not mine; I do not own her. I have no right to feel such jealousy. Tohru deserves happiness, no matter what. Ever since she has come into our lives she has done nothing but make them better – brighter. She deserves happiness, and who better than Kyo to give it to her? They clearly have a connection. Even Kagura saw that! They've had one ever since she saw Kyo's true form. Yuki shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. He was going to have to meditate tonight to clear his mind.
It only took a total of about thirty-five minutes for Tohru to finish the shopping. In the end, even Yuki ended up having to carry a basket. Just like with Kyo she had apologized over and over until Yuki was finally able to reassure her it was okay. She was getting enough food to last almost twenty people for about three days – plus some snacks and drinks. That was way to much for anyone to carry by themselves.
oooOOooo
The three teens had made it back just has Hatori had pulled up to the house with a nice, air conditioned bus. It was big enough to fit all the Sohma's and then some. Everyone was grateful that they wouldn't be squished together.
Hatori had already picked up all the other Sohma's and had even gotten Arisa and Saki. Arisa and Saki started to get off the bus to help Tohru put the groceries up in the side of the bus where all the lugage would go, but they were beaten by an eager blond boy.
"Toh-ru!" The eager blond boy sang. "I'm here to help!" He said with a finger in the air.
Tohru smiled at him. "Momiji, you don't have to do that. I can do it, it won't take long. Promise."
"Tohru." he whined. "That wouldn't be very gentleman-y! A man must help a woman in need!"
"You're not a man..." Kyo grumbled.
"Wah! Kyo's being mean!" Momiji 'cried.'
"Shut you annoying rabbit!"
"Stop bullying me, Kyo-kyo!"
While the two boys argued Tohru began putting up the food as Arisa and Saki got off the bus.
"The Sohma's really are and odd bunch, aren't they?"
"Yes, Arisa is correct. They certainly have... odd waves about them."
Tohru just simply smiled. "They are pretty unique. I'm just happy they have all accepted me! I don't know how I'll ever repay them."
"Tohru! You cook and clean and do so much for them! What the hell more could you do for them?" Arisa laughed.
"Yes, Tohru. Please don't push yourself too hard. We would hate to see you get sick, especially during a vacation." Saki spoke softly, giving a small smile.
"I won't!" She said with a nod, smiling at her two best friends.
"Good." Saki said with her usual small smile.
"Tohru-kun! I grabbed your bag for you, my little flower!" Shigure called as he practically skipped over to them.
Tohru blinked. "Huh? Oh I nearly forgot! I'm so sorry, Shigure! You didn't have to do that for me!"
"It was no problem, little flower. Wouldn't want you to forget your clothes!" He said with an innocent smile.
Tohru bowed and thanked him, putting her bag with the others. Arisa and Saki helped her put away the rest of the food and they then boarded the bus.
"Tohru." A voice called as she stepped onto the bus.
Tohru looked up to see who had called her.
"Tohru, come sit by me." Akito gave her a tiny smile. Tohru almost thought it was a smile that made her appear like she had some sort of plan, but she shook the thought away. She knew Akito was changing.
Arisa and Saki sat in a seat together. Arisa was oblivious to the awe the others felt; Saki knew something was odd though with the way everyone was reacting. No matter how much Akito and Tohru hung around each other, they would always be shocked to see them be friendly toward each other, always on their guard.
The trip there was rather noisy. Shigure and Ayame were babbling on about who knows what. Rin and Haru were talking in whispers about something, each with a content smile on their face. Ritsu was apologizing loudly for almost everything he did until he moved to a seat by himself. Arisa was talking with Kureno, both appearing to be happy. Kisa and Hiro were admiring each other closer to the back of the bus. Momiji was singing loudly with Momo, while Kyo yelled at him to shut up. Yuki was trying to silence Kyo and Saki was being silent. Hatori was driving, appearing to be miserable.
They were just one big happy family.
oooOOooo
The ride there took nearly three hours. Akito was silent for most of the trip and Tohru was okay with that. Akito did, however, glance over at Tohru several times.
Once they got there Tohru, Momiji, and Saki put away groceries while the others brought in the bags. Once everything was put away they were all gathered in the living room.
"What will the sleeping arrangements be, Akito?" Tohru asked, softly. She didn't want to accidentally set her off.
Akito was silent a moment as she thought. "The room pairings will be like this: Yuki, Hiro, and Kyo, Momo and Kisa, Momiji and Haru, Kagura and Rin, Ayame and Hatori, Kureno and Shigure, Arisa and Saki, and Tohru and I."
All of the Sohma's were shocked by the last pairing.
Tohru blinked. "A-are you sure Akito? I can understand you wanting your own room. I wouldn't want to be a burden on you!"
"It's perfectly fine."
Tohru nodded, blushing slightly.
"Tohru! Can you cook breakfast now! I'm hungry!" Shigure whined.
"Me too!" Ayame chipped in.
"Isn't it more of a brunch now?" Arisa raised an eyebrow.
"Arisa is right." Saki smiled.
Hiro couldn't help but move away from the girl dressed in all black, feeling uneasy around her.
Tohru bowed. "I'm sorry! I almost forgot! I'll get started right away!" She quickly scurried off into the kitchen and was followed by Kisa and Momo.
Akito watched Tohru hurry away and couldn't help but smile a little as everyone began to do their own little things.
"Akito." A voice whispered in her ear.
"What Shigure?"
"What do you have planned for my little flower?" He asked softly, more curious than anything.
Akito and Shigure had reached a rough patch in their relationship. Shigure had grown to distant from her and they both agreed the spark was gone between them, that didn't stop him from being a big flirt though.
"Nothing that concerns you." Akito said, her voice betraying nothing.
"I will find out you know."
"In time, in time." Akito couldn't help but give a small laugh. Even if they were no longer a couple she found him to be a comforting presence. She had been so cruel... and this summer she intended to show them all that she was making an effort to change... especially for Tohru.
"As long as no one gets hurt..." He said, a bit of worry in his voice.
"Everyone will be fine, Shigure." She said, now annoyed at his distrust.
Shigure only smiled and then left to go and bother Hatori with the help of Ayame.
oooOOooo
In the kitchen Tohru was beginning to cook a big brunch for everyone. Momo and Kisa had said they were wanting a more "American" brunch so Tohru was cooking lots of bacon (she didn't want grease to hit Momo or Kisa) while Momo made home-made biscuits (with help form Tohru) and Kisa began to make a hash brown casserole.
While the bacon was cooking Tohru began to make special omelets for everyone, adding things she knew everyone would like.
"Onne-san?" Kisa called.
"Yes, Kisa?" Tohru asked happily.
"Are you and Akito friends now? He's... he's not being... mean to you, right?"
Tohru blinked. Kisa was always worried about her. "Of course not! Akito has been extremely nice to me. Don't worry about me so much, alright?" She smiled warm-heartily.
"Momiji always tells me to be careful around Akito. Is... is he bad?"
"Of course not Momo! Akito has just a hard life is all... everyone deserves another chance though!"
"Onne-san? You'll tell someone if he starts... to ya know..." She let her sentence trail off, not wanting to say to much in front of Momo. "Right?"
"Yes. I promise."
Kisa relaxed a little. "Thank you, Onne-san."
"Tohru... do you like Kyo?" Momo asked suddenly.
Tohru froze in her spot. "Of course I like Kyo..." She answered cautiously.
"No... do you like-like him?"
Tohru became extremely red. "I-I..."
"I don't think Tohru is sure yet, Momo." Kisa answered sweetly, wanting to save Tohru the embarrassment as much as she could.
"Oh!" Momo giggled. "I think Kyo is really sweet..."
That's when it hit Tohru and Kisa.
"Momo... do you have a crush on Kyo?" Tohru smiled.
Momo's entire face became as red as a tomato. "Um..."
"It's okay if you do, Momo." Kisa reassured. "Everyone gets crushes!"
Momo stared at her feet nervously. "No... I... I have a crush on Haru and Yuki, actually." The nervous twelve year old said as she played with her fingers.
"Aw!" Tohru grinned. She was a hopeless romantic.
"It's just a crush though!" Momo said quickly.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with us, Momo."
"What about you and Hiro, Kisa?"
Kisa smiled brightly. "We're still a happy couple."
"I want to be a happy couple like you, Kisa!"
"That's so cute!" Tohru squealed.
oooOOooo
Brunch only took thirty minutes to cook and everyone was eagerly sitting at the table as they ate. Tohru was sitting between Akito and Kisa and across from Arisa and Saki.
"This meal is very well prepared." Akito said quietly to Tohru.
Tohru blinked, blushing a bit. "T-thank you."
Akito gave Tohru a small smile.
"This is so good, Tohru! You, Kisa, and Momo did a great job! I should help you next time too!" Momiji eagerly stated.
"I'd love to have you help!" She said sweetly.
"The princess is an excellent cook! I should have her come cook for me sometime!" Ayame exclaimed.
Yuki hit his older brother.
"It was just a thought!" Ayame pouted.
"I wouldn't mind bringing you over some food at your store, Ayame." Tohru smiled.
"Really?!" Ayame asked excitedly.
Yuki groaned. "You're only encouraging him..."
"Is Yuki jealous?" Ayame blinked. His face suddenly lit up and he jumped into his chair. "Hatori! Did you hear that! Yuki-kun is jealous of his older brother!" He squealed.
"Ayame!" Hatori snapped. "Manners." He scolded.
Ayame pouted but sat down in his chair properly.
"This is okay... I guess. For something Tohru cooked..." Hiro grumbled, though he was scarfing every bite of his food down.
Saki turned and looked at him. "My brother ran into you once... I think. He said he would like to meet you one day."
Hiro froze in his spot. He knew exactly who her brother was. He had ran into at that play they did once, he looked exactly like his sister.
"We do not look alike."
Hiro jumped, almost shaking. He wondered if he had said that out loud.
"Saki, you're scaring the poor kid." Arisa laughed.
"Oh. Sorry, Hiro."
Hiro just nodded, avoided eye contact with her.
"Momiji, are you in love with anyone?" Momo asked suddenly.
All eyes were now on him.
Momiji was taken by surprise and so he just sat there for a moment. "Um... I love Tohru!" He said brightly.
"Do you want her to be your girlfriend?"
Both Momiji and Tohru had become as red as a tomato.
"Um... Momo, I don't think this is something we should talk about at the table." Momiji said softly.
"Why not?"
"Yes, Momiji! Why not! There is never a wrong time for true love!" Ayame said, smiling brightly. There was something a bit off about his smile though. "Tell us! Do you want to be the prince for the princess?"
"Big brother... I don't think we should push the issue. Tohru seems to be a bit embarrassed." Yuki said softly.
Kyo stayed silent.
"Ah, but Aya is right! If young Momiji is in love he should admit it now!" Shigure exclaimed.
"Leave them alone..." Hatori sighed.
"I'm curious now." Arisa grinned, Kureno nodding in agreement.
"I would like to know as well." he laughed.
"I too would like to know if someone is in love with little Tohru." Saki said curiously.
"Who cares?" Hiro grumbled. "She's just a stupid girl."
Kisa shot him a look and Hiro mumbled a "sorry."
Soon the entire room was in a commotion... until Akito cleared her (his) throat. Everyone was silent then.
"If they do not wish to answer, do not bother them." Akito said simply.
Tohru and Momiji were relieved at the rescue by Akito.
Ayame and Shigure pouted but said nothing more on the topic.
Once brunch was done Akito had Ayame and Shigure do dishes as a punishment for their prying into other people's business.
oooOOooo
It was close to supper time and Akito had insisted they order out so that Tohru did not have to cook.
"Tohru?" Akito asked softly.
"Yes?" She smiled brightly.
"Will you come to our room real quick. I wanted to discuss our sleeping arrangements."
Tohru blinked. "If you want your own room I can quickly move my stuff out! It won't take long! I'm sorry." She bowed.
"There is no reason to be sorry." Akito chuckled. "I really just wish to talk to you."
Tohru relaxed. "Oh!"
Tohru followed Akito to their room.
The room wasn't to big or two small. It was just the right size for them both. There was a queen size mattress, a closet, and a dresser for them to share.
Akito closed the door behind them. Tohru didn't mind, she knew Akito was a private person.
"You don't mind sharing a bed with me, do you Tohru?"
"No! Of course not!" Tohru grinned.
"Good." Akito said softly. "Come, sit beside me." She said as she sat on the bed.
Tohru sat beside her, their legs touching slightly.
"Tohru... you are a very pretty girl you know."
Tohru blushed. "T-thank you. So are you! I mean-"
Akito cut her off. "I know what you mean." she smiled softly.
Akito began to run a hand up and down Tohru's bare thigh. She couldn't help but shiver, enjoying Akito's touch. Akito grinned at Tohru's response and moved her hand up so it rested right at the edge of her skirt.
"You know... you are a very unique girl, Tohru. We're both girls you know... that makes this even more okay."
Tohru wasn't as thick as everyone thought she was. She knew where this was leading... and she kind of wanted it. She didn't know why but she loved the way Akito's touch made her feel.
"Can I make you feel as good as you make me feel?" Akito whispered against her neck.
Tohru nodded, afraid of what she might say if she spoke.
Akito met Tohru's lips with her own, pulling her into a soft, yet passionate, kiss. Tohru froze for just a moment. This wasn't her first kiss though and she knew how to respond. Tohru began kissing back and before she knew it, Akito was on top of her. Akito's hands began to roam Tohru's body, causing her to sigh out in pleasure. Akito slid her cool hands up Tohru's lose fitting shirt and undid the clasp of her bra, tossing it to the floor. Akito's hands cupped her chest, causing Tohru to let out a small moan, her nipples eagerly puckering.
Before Akito could go any farther there was a knock on the door. Akito let out an annoyed grumble and got off of Tohru, kicking her bra under the bed.
When she opened the door it was Kisa.
"The pizza is here..." Kisa said shyly.
"Thank you, Kisa." Akito smiled. "Tohru, come. The food is here!"
Tohru nodded, her face flustered and her lips only slightly swollen; none of which went unnoticed by Kisa. Together the three of them walked to the kitchen where everyone was already sitting down and waiting for them to get back before they ate.
Once the three were seated (same spots as they had when they were at brunch) everyone began grabbing pizza and chatting. Tohru noticed that Kagura was oddly silent though.
"Kagura... are... are you alright? Are you feeling well?"
Kagura didn't answer; she simply stared at Tohru. Everyone now had their eyes on them.
"I'm fine..." she said in her kind voice. "But..." Something flickered in her eyes and she smashed a plate near Tohru – who was frozen in shock. She was going into one of her rage fits like she often did with Kyo. "WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING A BRA, TOHRU?" She screamed.
A/N: Ah, the chapter is done. I'm not entirely pleased with it but I'm hoping as I keep writing it will get better. There is much more that needs to unfold though. I hope this chapter wasn't too horrible though. Ah, and sorry about not warning giving a warning about a light lemon. I didn't want to do too much as far as a lemon was concerned... not yet anyways. The rating will go up eventually, but I hope everyone keeps reading! Please review your opinions and I promise to answer back in the next chapter!
