Ch. 7- An eye for an eye...

"Relax Miss Honda. I don't bite." Akito said with his trademark grin on his face. They were sitting next to each other in the car.

"Where are we going?" she asked slowly. He felt her trembling next to him, and he had to make his smirk a little less sinister. There was no use in worrying her more. Well, not yet anyway.

"Oh, don't worry. I'm just giving you a lift to the hospital. That is where you wanted to go, right?" he asked politely.

"Yes, that's right." She replied, her normal cheerfulness slowly returning to her voice. "Thank you, you really don't have to do this."

"Oh, don't worry. It's my pleasure." He said, smiling. Naïve little girl, he thought bitterly, I'll never understand what Yuki and Kyo see in her. His smile broadened. But I won't have to worry about that for very much longer.

"Are you going to visit him as well?" asked Tohru suddenly, pulling Akito away from his thoughts.

"Of course. He is family after all." He replied, a little too coldly, for he felt her stiffen next to him. "And I know that he would be happy that you are going to visit him." He saw her smile. "And whatever makes my family happy makes me happy." It sickened him that she was positively beaming now.

"Well, I don't know about that." She said quietly after a few minutes or so.

"And why is that?" he asked, attempting a sincere tone of voice.

"Well, he seemed to think that you were going to hurt me for some reason. I don't know where he got that idea." She said. "He wouldn't have been in the car if he didn't feel like he needed to save me." Tohru finished.

"Then he'll be even happier to see you." He patted her arm because her eyes were filling up again. He had to keep himself from vomiting as he did so. "And I honestly don't know where he came up with this me wanting to hurt you nonsense. That is the farthest thing from my mind." He fought to keep up his smile. If she buys this bullshit, then I'm actually doing her a favor. He thought.

She looked over at him. I wonder why he's being so nice to me. She thought. I can almost see the resemblance between him and Yuki right now.

The silence was getting on Akito's nerves more than Tohru's voice did. "Miss Honda, why the sudden vow of silence?" he asked, only masking the malice in both his smile and his voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking." She said quickly. "And Akito?"

"Yes?" he asked, regaining his composure.

"Like I told Yuki yesterday, you don't have to call me Miss Honda. Call me Tohru." She said all of this with her usual smile. He, however, inwardly twitched at the thought of her talking to 'his' Yuki. He had very nearly lost his cool when he had caught them kissing, though the look on Kyo's face as he dragged her out of the house almost made it worth it. And Yuki had just sat there. He hadn't even attempted to stop Akito. This made Akito happy. At least Yuki still knew where his true loyalties were.

"I'll keep that in mind, Tohru." He said, smiling at her yet again. She looked out the window.

"Hey, this isn't the way to the hospital!" she exclaimed suddenly.

"Oh, don't worry. We're just taking a little short-cut that my driver knows." Replied Akito.

"I didn't know there was a shortcut." She stated. "It's already such a short ride." Akito stayed silent. The car turned down a street that seemed extremely familiar to Tohru, yet she couldn't quite place her finger on it.

"We're here, Tohru." Akito said finally as the car stopped. She gave him a hesitant smile and stepped onto the pavement, limping a little due to her leg.

Something was very wrong. Since when did the hospital parking lot have a lot of tall rocks in it? And a temple as well? She felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she realized why this 'shortcut' seemed so familiar. They were in the cemetery.

She glanced around nervously, and her gaze automatically fell on Kyoko's grave. She was in shock when what she saw finally registered. The limp bodies of Uo and Hana were sprawled over the tombstone, neither showing any signs of life.

"Akito, we have to help them!" she cried, grabbing Akito's arm, her panic blinding her from the truth.

"You foolish little girl!" he spat, throwing her to the ground, all of his concealed anger finally being allowed to consume his face. "Can you really not see it? I did this" he bent down so until he was whispering in her ear. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You take what's mine, I take what's yours." He gestured towards the grave. "This is what happens when you mess with my family." He stood up and began walking away. Tohru began crawling towards her friends, but stopped when she heard his voice again. "Have a nice day, Miss Honda." He said, stepping into the car and speeding off, leaving a helpless Tohru alone with her misery, accompanied by the shells of her best friends.
