Three Days Later…

Tohru paced the floor; phone in hand, as she waited for Hatori to call with her test results. She was glad that Akito was at another meeting, that way she would have sometime to handle it herself. The phone suddenly went off, nearly scaring her senseless. Hatori's name showed up on the caller i.d. Taking a deep breath she answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi Tohru," Hatori greeted.

"Hi."

"So, I have your test results," he said.

There was a long pause before he spoke.

"You are in fact pregnant." He hesitated before continuing. "Congratulations."

Tohru let out a nervous chuckle, but otherwise remained silent. Hatori, knowing she was probably stunned continued.

"Now, you'll need to schedule an appointment with an OB/GYN, to get your prenatal-vitamins and to figure out exactly how far along you are."

"O.K."

"Well, I'll be by later on this week. Take care of yourself, bye."

"B…bye."

Tohru slowly closed the phone before slipping to the floor in a crying heap, a hand resting on her stomach.

"I'm pregnant," she whispered. "How am I gonna tell Master?"

Just outside the door…

Kamiko let a smile grace her lips.

'I've got you right where I want you bitch.'

She then pulled out her cell-phone and made a call.

"Hi, this is Kamiko Lopez I'd like to make an appointment for Tohru Honda…"

At dinner that night…

Tohru fidgeted nervously in Akito's lap, while Yuki kept a hold of Kyou, who was busy trying to get at Akito's throat.

"Um… Master, would you like some leeks or…?"

"Whatever you chose Onigiri." He said as he kissed her neck.

Tohru gulped and flushed a deep red. He only called her "Onigiri" if she was in for it big time.

Her train of thought was broken at the sound of two thuds and some growling.

Looking up, she saw that both Kyou and Shigure had fainted at Akito's public display of affection, while Kamiko growled as she stabbed the hell out of her food.

Yuki sighed before slapping his two relatives back into the land of the living; honestly these two were like two immature little children.

'Damn that bitch!' Kamiko growled as she slapped her fist onto the table.

"Look bitch, stay away from my man!" she growled as she stood up. "And keep that bastard child of yours away from him."

The entire room fell silent as everyone turned to look at a now pale Tohru.

"That's right bitch," Kamiko smirked. "I heard you when you received your results, you're pregnant."

"Is it true?" Akito asked in a stunned whisper.

Tohru lowered her head as she nodded the affirmative before sliding off his lap and into a bow.

"Master, I know that you probably don't want any children with me, but please don't make me get rid of our baby."

Yuki, Kyou, and Shigure stood ready to defend Tohru should Akito react violently.

Akito just looked at Tohru in complete and utter shock.

'She wants to carry my child?' His eyes softening. 'Tohru…'

Kamiko strutted over to Akito's prone form, a smug look on her face.

"Well guess what slut, I've already called the clinic." She gushed. "It's the same one where I had my abortion two years ago."

Tohru sat up, a horrified that Kamiko had, in her mind, killed her own child. Shigure and his household looked at her in shock. Children were very precious to the Sohma clan, and to abort one was unthinkable.

Akito snapped out of his stupor the moment the words left Kamiko's mouth.

"What?" he growled.

Kamiko, still believing that she had earned his favor dumbly answered.

"I said I'm sending her to the same clinic where I had my abortion done."

Akito stood to his feet to face her.

"And who was the father of that child?" he asked his anger barely suppressed.

"Why you of…"

Akito launched himself at the woman in front of him a loud roar escaping his lips.

"Is that why you left, because you killed my child?" He growled as he reached for her throat.

Kamiko cowered from the murderous Sohma in front of her.

"Well, I…I…"

"YOU KILLED MY CHILD?!"

"I…I…"

"GET OUT," he growled. "NOW!"

Kamiko ran from the enraged Sohma leader and out the house, but not before receiving a few well placed blows from Ayako, who had heard everything.

'No one hurts my master like that.' She growled as she gave the other servants orders to make sure that woman never again came near their master, before telling them to burn all of Kamiko's belongings.

Back inside Tohru looked at Akito's ridged form, knowing that if he wasn't calmed down soon, he would destroy everything that came into his path. She cautiously approached her master against her friends' wishes, and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"M…Master?"

Akito spun to face her, his eyes searching hers before he sank to his knees and buried his face into her currently flat stomach, and cried.

"Get out!" he barked at his three-clansmen.

They hesitated but obeyed after Tohru gave them a reassuring nod. Once they were alone, Akito spoke.

"Tohru why," he asked. "Why do you want to have my baby?"

Tohru hesitated before lowering her head.

"Because the child growing in me is something that we created together," she said. "A symbol of my love…for you.'

Akito looked at her in astonishment. 'She loves me?'

"Please," she begged as she once again fell to her knees. "Don't be angry."

Akito frowned at the fear in her voice, before lifting her into his lap.

He tenderly wiped her tears away.

"I'm not angry; in fact I'm quite happy."

Tohru lifted up her eyes up to his.

"You are?" she asked in astonishment.

Akito smirked as he gently rubbed Tohru's belly.

"Of course, the woman I love is going to have my child."

"L…love?"

Akito smiled before kissing her tenderly.

"Yes my Tohru, I love you and the child within you, for you are both mine."

Tohru smiled, and Akito returned it only to frown a second later.

"What is it?"

"Oh, nothing, I just think it would be better if a certain cat, dog, and rat, would stop eavesdropping."

The shoji slid open a second later, revealing the embarrassed trio.

"Come on in here," Akito said with a wave of his hand. "There is something that I need you guys to be witnesses to."

The trio exchanged confused glances with Tohru as Ayako, in her infinite wisdom slowly glided into the room. She smiled at Tohru before handing something to Akito and then gliding back out. Akito lifted Tohru to her feet, before slipping down on one knee in front of her.

"Tohru Honda, will you marry me?" he asked as he opened up a small box with a huge diamond ring in it.

Everyone's eyes bulged out of their sockets at Akito's request.

Tohru recovered quickly.

"Yes," she said with a goofy grin on her face. "But on one condition."

The Sohmas exchanged bewildered looks with each other.

"Anything." Akito replied, ready to give her the moon if she asked for it.

Tohru leaned down to whisper in his ear.

"That you'll still be my master."

Akito eyes widened before taking on a predatory look.

Shigure's hentai sense began to tingle and he quickly pulled Yuki and Kyou out of the dining room and outside.

Akito's smirk widen once they were again left alone. Without a second thought he had her pinned to the nearest wall.

"Oh, so my little pet likes it when I show her, her place?" he teased as he sucked on her neck.

"Uh-huh," Tohru moaned as she gripped at his shoulders.

"Then believe me my dear that can and will be arranged."

Tohru's screams pierced throughout the house as her master did just that.

A.N.: Yeah, boyah. I finally updated after so long. I must apologize, if anyone has gotten confused. See in the last chapter I said that Tohru cried because she knew that Akito loved her, but what I meant was that she DIDN'T know. O.K. now I must ask you guys a serious question. The last chapter of Pet depends on it. I need to know what gender you think the baby should be, boy or girl. And if you're rooting for twins tell me fraternal or identical. The birth will be in the first half of the epilogue. T.T.F.N: Tata for now! ^_^
