Ch.2
The sensation was killing her. It was so quiet; she could possibly hear her own heart beat. They just stood there, frozen. Like a statue. She shuffled to her feet.
Yuki stared at her, but she looked away. The looked in his eyes made her heart drop. They were filled with disappointment and rage.
She started to talk.
"I…I'm…sor…"
"Don't"
She was cut off. She didn't bring her eyes up to see who had spoken. She assumed it was Shigure, due to the Yuki's disappointing facial expression.
Yuki began to talk. "You were bound to find out sooner or later." He said it with some sympathy.
She still had all the questions in my mind, but decided to keep my thoughts to my self. The situation she was in was too tight to.
She turned toward her room, feeling very embarrassed.
"Tohru, stop." The sound of his voice still took her breath away.
"I think its time to tell you about the head of the Sohma family"
This stunned her. The head of the Sohma family? Was this the person they were talking about earlier? Was he really dangerous?
The questions came one by one; overwhelming her mind.
"Sit down" Yuki said, gesturing to the couch.
She could see the tension in Shigure's eyes. He was obviously not happy with me learning much about his family.
"Akito Sohma is the head Sohma. He isn't the nicest of people. He always gets his way. Whatever he says goes. He is a very mysterious person. His place in the Zodiac is confusing. He doesn't transform into any animal." His voice was nervous. Like he felt like he shouldn't be talking about this superior Akito. Was he not supposed to talk about him?
"He is more of a god" he spat out.
She gasped. A god?! But how? This made no sense to her.
Yuki continued. "He difficult to cope with though."
Now Yuki felt tense. He looked up with some tears in his eyes.
"Ok. There you go. Akito's story." He stood and walked away.
She ran after him. She found him in the hallway by his bedroom.
"Yuki? How can Akito be a god?" she asked, not holding back.
"You'll see once you meet him. If you meet him." He corrected himself.
He walked in his room and shut the door on Tohru. She began to walk away but heard whimpering. She knew that it was coming from Yuki's room. He was crying. He never cried. This sent shivers down Tohru's spine. Akito had a real effect on the Sohma family. She had to find out what was going on with this Akito person.
As Tohru walked down the hall, she heard voices. How could there be voices? Yuki had gone to sleep. The curiosity drove her toward the voices.
They were in the living room. As she walked in to the living room, she bumped into something solid. She saw a poof of pink smoke and then she was on the floor. She looked around and only saw Shigure. He was in shock for some reason.
She saw some flicker of movement in the corner of her eye. She jerked her head and saw an orange cat. Sitting there, staring at her with a malicious look. Like it was about to prounce on her and have her for lunch.
