'I know what I must do, I don't want to, but it must be done, if I want to finally rid myself of her……' Akito thought to himself. Akito still held that old crumpled picture he had taken form Yuki's room in his hand, but he finally moved to an old locked chest, finding the key Akito unlocked it and placed the picture inside once again locking the chest, to be sorted through another day.

Finally standing Akito called for a servant, "get me the director on Ookama University, I need to have a word with him."

Nodding the servant exited.

: With Yuki :

"and one more time Yuki………. Alright, that's it, you seem perfectly healthy. Glad to se you're taking care of yourself. But Yuki, as your cousin, please, Why? Why are you here? Why did you come back? You know nothing good can come of this,"

Yuki sighed looking at Hatori, "Hatori-san, I had no where else to go, I no longer felt at home with Shigure, that house tortures me more than Akito does."

Hatori let out a sigh, he knew that Tohru hadn't gone willingly but he wasn't about to tell Yuki that, it would upset him to much, and make things to hard, "Alright Yuki you check out just fine, you can go now."

"Thanks Hatori. I'll see you later." Yuki said goodbye and stepped out of the Doctors office.

Yuki made his was down the hall and into his, now, room. He shut the door behind him, and after standing there for a moment trying to decided what to do he made his way to where he had been standing before he was scared half to death by Actions' unannounced entrance. He went towards where his old picture had been dropped, but once he got there he was shocked to see that it wasn't there. His mind flew. This was bad, very, very bad. What if Kato had found it? What if one of the maids had picked it up, or if it had somehow gotten out of his room? Yuki began to panic, when there was a small knock on his door, "Master Yuki," came the small voice of one of the maids. Yuki moved towards the door, trying to regain his composer, he slid the door open, "Master Yuki, Master Akito wishes that you dine with him this evening."

"Alright, I'll be there." Yuki replied, and shut the door once again.

For the next hour Yuki continued his search for the picture, but he never did locate it. Looking at the time Yuki realized that he had better clean up and go meet Akito. After a quick shower and changing into some clothes that Akito would approve of Yuki made his way to the family heads' room.

As Yuki approached he could hear Akito on the phone with someone, "yes, she will be there, no, it was a last minuet decision, thank you, you have been very accommodating, yes thank you. Goodbye headmaster." Yuki heard the phone being placed on its cradle, after hesitating a moment more Yuki knocked softly on Akito's door, "Come in," came the cold reply.

"Good evening Akito-sama, you wished that I join you this evening." Yuki said respectfully to his head, once he was kneeling in front of him.

"Ahh, Yuki yes, thank you. How are your accommodations? Are the satisfactory?" Akito questioned

"Yes, thank you Akito-sama, everything is in order, thank you for everything," Yuki replied quietly.

Soon the food arrived and Akito and Yuki ate in silence. Yuki didn't have much to say to Akito, but Akito on the other hand had something that he was dying to ask Yuki, but was unsure of how to ask. Akito sat their silently battling with himself as to how to ask Yuki this question that plagued his mind, with out letting Yuki know anything.

Finally he decided he should just come out and say it, "Yuki, did you love her? That dis……disgra……… that Honda woman?" Akito found that he was unable to insult her; he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Yuki was shocked with the question so much that he didn't even notice Akito stumbling with the words. Yuki just stared at Akito for a minuet before he took a deep breath trying to come up with some way to avoid this question, finally coming up with something that he thought would work, "what does it matter if I loved her, she left, she's out of my life now, and weather I loved her or not is of no matter."

Akito didn't accept this answer as Yuki had hoped he would, "that still does not answer my question Yuki, I asked if you loved her, I don't care if it matters or not."

Yuki sighed in defeat, there was nothing he could do, he couldn't lie, not about this, it was one thing he would never hide, not from anyone, "yes Akito-sama, I did love her, but she's gone now, and I'm here, I doubt I will ever see her again," Yuki just sat there sating at his food after he said that, his head bowed in defeat.

"You may leave now; I no longer have an appetite," Akito waved his hand in a motion signaling he wished for Yuki to leave, he wanted to be alone.

Relieved that Akito didn't throw a fit at what he had just admitted to Yuki quickly stood, bowed and left, before Akito had a chance to change his mind and become angered.

: With Akito:

'well I guess it's time, one lat thing to do and maybe things can get to how that should be,' Akito thought to himself, but he knew he was lying, he knew that what he had always thought was right, was now wrong, he had no idea why these things had changed in him, but he wasn't going to let her go back to living with everyone, he couldn't, not now, not now that he knew if he did he wouldn't have a chance.

Once it was around 11 o'clock and everyone else in the house had long since gone to sleep Akito made his was down the dark halls to the temporary prison he had put the cat in until the one he had always been saving for him was freed, the one Tohru was in. he got to the room and opened it to find a very feeble looking Kyo in the corner, grabbing him around the collar Akito began to drag him towards the room that would be his new prison, now that he was about to rid himself of 'her'. Kyo did not struggle or try to break free, he no longer cared, he was not the same teen he had once been, he had bowed to defeat. Once Akito had reached the room he unlocked it and stepped into the darkness, there was a cover in front of the high window so nothing could be seen; Kyo was unable to see that there was another person in this room. Akito effortlessly tossed kyo into the corner opposite of Tohru, he went and removed the cover from he window, but Kyo still did not see Tohru he was looking in the other direction, and even if her did look he would not be able to tell it was her, she was half in the shadows, only a side of her showing, and she wasn't the same girl, her spirit had seemed to disappear. And Tohru didn't make a move to show that she noticed her visitors, she had already lost hope of ever leaving. It was best if neither of them noticed the other yet, seeing Tohru might bring the old Kyo back, and he might try to attack Akito, so Akito made his way to Kyo and reached just above his head to where there were restraints bolted to the wall, Akito was able to secure Kyo's position so that when he did notice he wouldn't be able to move or do anything.

At the time it seemed that Tohru became aware of the other people in her room, "……………..Akit………Akito-sama?" Tohru whispered hoarsely.

At that Kyo's head snapped in her direction, he recognized her voice immediately, it wasn't her usual happy bubbly voice, but it was still hers', slowly Kyo began to realize that Tohru was locked in here, she had been taken form them she hadn't left.

"Tohru," Akito made his way towards the young girl, she still was yet to notice Kyo, "You have taught me much while I kept you here, and I wish to thank you for that, but it would be impossible for me to allow you to return to Shigure, Yuki and that cat, for they have all changed, Yuki now lives here at the main house once again, I have not heard form Shigure for quite some time, and as for the cat, well, see for yourself," Akito moved out of the way, and Tohru's eye's locked with Kyo's.

"Kyo………….." She softly whispered.

"Tohru! Tohru are you alright, please try and get out of here, please Tohru, move!" Kyo shouted at her, trying to get her to respond to something, anything. But the girl didn't budge.

Tohrus eyes locked with Akitos once more, "Tohru, your life with the Sohma's is over," Akito leaned forward and grabbed Tohru's arm, and pulled her to the center of the room, where he laid her down. Slowly he moved to place himself on top of her, to keep her form moving, he leaned down, and was about to place his hand in front of her eyes when Akito suddenly pulled back and looked at Tohru… well; at least that's what she thought. Akito was staring at her lips, wondering what it was like to kiss her. So he leaned in and gently placed his lips on top of hers, it was like heaven, something Akito had never experienced before. Tohru's body went rigid when Akito pressed his lips against hers, but slowly let herself relax in his grip; he was no longer hurting her. Akito gave a few butterfly kisses before pulling back.

Kyo sat there dumbfounded, never had he seen the head of his family look at someone like this before. Akito looked at this girl with almost a look of love, something everyone in the Sohma family thought was impossible.

"Finally Akito placed his hand in front of Tohru's eyes, and whispered to her, just loud enough that Kyo was able to hear, "I was a fool for not understanding why they all loved you Tohru, and now that I know why I will never be able to get you out of my head, you truly are an angel," and with that a bright light flashed through the room, and Tohru fell limp.
