Chapter 6... I'm being an obsessive writer at the moment. Gotta get it all out, lol. I personally think its going good so far! Though the ending is still... fuzzy. I'm getting there! I have good ideas, but I need to think it all out. Wish me luck and enjoy chapter 6! Oh, and by the way, I apologize that the chapters are so short... I hardly ever write in chapters, so its a sort of new concept to me. Forgive me for that! I'll do my best to make them longer! Anyways... Enjoy chapter 6! (as I stated in earlier sentences...)

OoO

Kyo was annoyed. Yuki annoyed him. Ayame annoyed him. Uotani annoyed him. Kagura annoyed him. Almost every single person at this stupid party was annoying the crap out of him! The only person who wasn't annoying him was Tohru. And she hardly ever annoyed him.

But this was a given.

He was silently enjoying a salmon onigri when there was a knock at the door. The loud room went silent.

"Who could be at the door, Honda-san?" asked Yuki, puzzled, looking confused. Everyone else in the room sported a similar look. "I thought everyone was here...?"

Tohru fidgeted uncomfortably. "Well..." she said, not meeting anyone's eyes. "No..." she paused. "I should probably... go... answer the door." She rose from where she was sitting with Kisa and excited the room.

A nervous wave of muttering passed through the room.

Kyo had a bad feeling about this.

OoO

Tohru, who had been dreading this moment ever since she had made the deal with Akito, excited the room and went to the front door. She opened the door and greeted a very ticked off Akito. "Hello, Akito-san." she said, bowing her head in respect.

He glared at her. "Is everyone here?" he demanded furiously.

"Y-yes. They are all... in the living room."

His grin was not a good one; in fact, it was fairly evil. "Good." he waved his hand flippantly. "Go and announce me!"

She shuddered and then turned, going to the other room. "E-everyone!" she said, almost a whisper. Nobody seemed to notice, but continue to mutter nervously among themselves. "Ex-Excuse me, everyone!" she called, louder this time. She realized her voice was shaking. "I-I would like to announce... the a-a-arrival of... Akito-san..."

She waited for a reaction. But all she received was a shocked silence.

OoO

Kyo starred at Tohru. Akito?!?!?? Tohru had invited AKITO??? He was shocked beyond words, and also very furious (not at Tohru, but at Akito).

Just then, Akito entered the room, attired in his normal black kimono. "Hello, my beloved Juunishi." he said, smiling that smile of his. The smile that never failed to tick Kyo off. He glanced distastefully at the 'outsiders' in the room. "And friends..."

Uotani seemed to sense malice in the man and demanded, looking a Tohru, "Who is this creep?!"

Tohru fidgeted, looking down, not meeting anyone's eyes. "A... Just a friend of the family, Uo-chan."

"You mean the head of the family." Shigure said, smiling brightly. "Hello, Akito! Welcome to the party!"

"Hello, Shigure." Akito said, looking annoyed. "Now then. On to business?"

Kyo felt his defenses rising. "What business?" he demanded, glaring daggers at the head of the house.

"Why, Tohru said in her invitation that she had an announcement, correct?" he said, looking innocent. "That's why I'm here."

Suspicion rose within Kyo as he glanced briefly at Tohru, who was still looking at her shoes.

"Would you like to make your announcement, Tohru, my dear?"

When did Akito start calling Tohru 'my dear'?!? When did Akito even meet Tohru?? Thoughts raced through Kyo's head frantically. What in the world could possibly be this announcement? It was driving him nuts. But it wasn't a good kind of 'nuts'. It was a bad kind. A very very bad kind.

"Y-yes..." Tohru said, in answer to Akito's question. Tears began welling in her eyes.

Wait... Kyo did a double take. Tears?!?

"T-tonight, I... I am going to say... g-g-goodbye!" She proceeded in breaking down in sobs.

Uotani and Hanajima both made moves to hug Tohru, to comfort her.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Akito said, waving his finger. At precisely that moment, multiple, very large men burst into the room and quickly overran it. Akito gave orders before anyone could react. "Two on the men and older women! Only one for the children!"

Kyo leaped at Akito, intent on strangling him, but found that he was being held back by two pairs of muscular arms. "Let go of me!" He snarled, struggling.

Akito chuckled mirthfully. "Aw, my dear little monster! You shall not be getting away today!" his grin was full of venom. "At least, not with your memories."
