Kamira and Nami looked at each other and grimaced. Both of them have had BAD experiences before and Akito would take advantage of that. Kamira's experience had to do with Nami. If Nami remembered, Nami would hate Akito more. But no body, not even Yuki or Kyo, hated Akito more then Kamira. They were both dreading the day now. "Maybe we can skip out on it…" Nami suggested. "That'll only make 'it' madder," Kamira replied. Kamira shivered at the name and she hated him in general so she referred to him as "it". No one would change her mind about that.
The school day went by quickly, to their dismay. "Are you two coming?" Yuki asked, turning back to Nami and Kamira holding hands, awaiting Akito's arrival. "They look defensive," Tohru said. "I'll say. I wonder what the hell they're doing…" Kyo added. "You guys go ahead. This is our business with… A-a-a-akito…" Kamira said, shuddering at the name. But this had to be done and they couldn't just turn tail now. Akito finally arrived. "Ah, Kamira, darling, how have you been?" Akito asked in a normal enough tone. Kamira gulped down her anger and fear. "I'm fine, Akito, and what about you?" she strained, trying to lighten him up as much as possible. "I've been good enough, thanks for asking," he replied, turning to face Nami. NOW Kamira was getting REALLY scared.
"Ah, my dear Nami," Akito started. "How have you been coping after the 'incident' with May-Mai and Mrs. Kurosaki?" he asked. Nami was having painful memories. She was remembering flames in front of her, May-Mai's screams and Mrs. Kurosaki's cries for help. Then blacking out and being tortured, beaten, and starved in an empty warehouse. She was beginning to cry. Kamira looked at Akito. "That's a touchy subject for her," she said, a stone cold tone in her voice as she spoke. "Taking a tone with ME are we?" Akito asked in a threatening voice. Kamira was silent for a little bit. "No…" she finally choked out.
"That's a good wolf, Kamira," Akito said, walking over and petting Kamira's head. She hated that and he knew it. The touch sent chills down her back. "Besides, I could always just… throw you out," he said. Kamira's eyes were about to flow with tears, but she had to hold it together. Nine years ago, Kamira had heard about Kyo. Being as big-hearted as she was, she had to visit him. She was trying to break through the lock and Akito caught her. He grabbed her by her hair and flung her out the open front door. Kamira still had a scar on her tail as a wolf as proof of that.
Nami had pulled herself together and was tugging on Kamira's sleeve. Kamira snapped out of it and looked at Nami. That was all she needed to bring strength back. "So, is that it?" Kamira asked. Akito only chuckled and said, "I'll check on you again in a long while. Don't think this is the last you've seen of me," and turned and walked off.
Nami and Kamira made sure that Akito was out of earshot and looked at each other. "You OK?" Kamira asked, rubbing Nami's shoulder trying to comfort her. "Yeah, I'm fine. What about you, though?" she replied, looking at Kamira's watery eyes. "I'm OK," she said, looking back in the direction of Akito's departure. "I freaking hate that damn thing!" she said angrily. "Let's move out of the country!" Nami suggested. Kamira laughed at her creativity. "If only we had some money!" she said, her and Nami walking in the direction of the Sohma house.
