Chapter 10
Threats
Amayas POV
I woke up early the next morning and Shigure had his arms wrapped around me. He looked so peaceful sleeping, I didn't want to wake him up so I quietly got up and prepared breakfast for us. It was quiet in the house. Tohru and Kyo were still at Kazuma's house. Yuki had stayed with Ina at our house. It was so quiet. I felt like a housewife as I cooked him breakfast. I finished making us breakfast and put it all in a tray and walked back to his room. I walked in and he was still sleeping. I set the tray down and leaned in next to him and kissed his forehead.
"Wake up Gure, I made us breakfast" I whispered into his ears and he just wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in.
"What a way to wake up." He said in a deep voice that I had never heard him use before and it was almost seductive. He came down and he kissed me. His voice sent chills down my spine and I kissed him back. He laid me down and was now on of top me and continued to kiss me. I felt my cheeks grow warm and he moved his lips to kiss my cheek and then my jawline and down to my neck.
"Shi...Shigure." I moaned and I felt him smirk against my skin.
"Amaya your skin is so sweet." He moaned into my ear he kissed my earlobe and he lightly bit down. My legs moved up creating an opening for his hips between my legs. His hands started to wonder and untie my robe. His one hand slid into my robe and up to cup my breast and his other hand cupped my cheek and he kissed me tenderly. His hips came closer to mine and I blushed when I felt his stiffness at my core. I was burning in excitement for him. I brought my hands up to his back and pulled him in closer to me.
He kissed my neck lovingly and his mouth slid down to my cleavage and he softly kissed my cleavage.
I bit down my lips to keep myself from moaning. His hand wandered to down to my legs. The phone started to ring and I peeked over and saw it was Mitchan. His hands softly rubbed at my core through my panties.
"Shi-Shigure the phone." I moaned. He grunted but he sat up and he answered it.
"Hello Mitchan," he said and looked at me and I was still blushing and I could still feel his touch lingering on my skin. He let out a deep sigh.
"Very well I'll be in shortly." He hung up the phone and he looked at me.
"Mitchan said there is something wrong with my manuscript and she wants me to head in immediately." Shigure said regrettably. He laid down again next to me and kissed me again.
"I don't want to go." He said and I hugged him.
"Its alright, I will see you later. Eat real quick, and I will give you ride." I said and he sat up and started to eat. He looked at me once more and he softly kissed me with food in his mouth.
"Just giving you a taste of your excellent cooking." He smiled at me.
"So how do you like your new editor?" I asked him
"Oh he is such a mean old man! He threatens to quit every time I crack a little joke." He exclaimed sadly and he rested his head in my lap.
"Oh Amaya please be my editor again!" He faked cried and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Shigure you know I can't not with how we are now." I said to him.
"Oh but he is so cruel. I want my cute editor back." He complained. I played with his hair and looked at him,
"I am sorry, Shigure" I leaned in and Kissed him again.
"Maya I have something I'd like to ask you? He said he seemed very serious about it. I looked back at him seriously.
"What's wrong Shigure?" He sat up and he grabbed my hands.
"Will you please wear that maid outfit for me?" I looked at his face and my eyes widen.
*poof*
I transformed. Shigure fell over because he was laughing so hard. I growled at him. Then jumped on him and started to lick him.
"Ahh No Amaya stop that tickles." Shigure giggled. I stopped liking him and went under the covers of the bed and transformed back. I felt the covers move and Shigure moved them off of me.
"Found you." He said before he came down and he kissed me.
I tried to cover myself but it was too late.
"Shigure you have to get ready and go see Mitchan." I said in between his sweet kisses. He groaned in annoyance but he stood up and got ready. I let out a sigh of relief and I put my clothes back on and sat up.
-Meanwhile with Inari-
Inari's POV
I was walking with Yuki at a park. He was holding my hand. I looked at him and he looks so happy. He leaned in and kissed me.
"I think I am in love with you Inari" he whispered and I hugged him tighter.
"Yuki I love you." I whispered into his ear and he held me tighter and he kissed me passionately. Suddenly we were blown back. There was a mudslide and Yuki pushed me out of the way.
"No Yuki!" I screamed and he was covered with dirt and rocks. I used my hands to desperately dig him out. I cried out to Yuki and tried to dig him out but I couldn't. I started to scream for help but suddenly I found myself alone with nothing around me.
"Inari, wake up" I felt a gentle touch tapping my shoulders. I blinked and I was crying and I realized that I was still in my bed and Yuki was looking at me. He looked worried. I sat up and I rubbed my eyes.
"Damn nightmares..." I mumbled. He sat up and wrapped his arms around me and gently rubbed his hand on my arms.
"Are you alright Inari, you were crying?" He said and tried to comfort me.
"Yeah just a nightmare." It was weird. I never had a nightmare like this before.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I shook my head no and I rested my head on his shoulder and I let out a sigh.
"I don't want to think about it let alone talk about it." He kissed the top of my head.
"You sure? Please I would like to know." He said as he laid down and pulled me in to lay with my head on his chest. I know he wanted me to tell him but I just couldn't.
"Yes I'm sure." I said and I leaned up to kiss him.
"Was it Ms. Amaya?" He asked
"No Yuki please stop asking." I sighed and I sat up. My phone buzzed as an email from my teacher.
"Oh seems my classes are canceled until one."
"That's nice. I am sorry." He said. "I wonder if my class will get canceled too." I was kind of hoping it would be that would mean I could spend more time with him. I blushed at my own thought.
"Oh I don't know. You may want to check your emails."
"You're right" he moved his arm and picked up his phone.
"Yes my class has also being canceled this morning til 1pm." He said and turned around facing me. I smiled.
"Oh well that's good!" I said a little too excitedly and I saw the look on his face and I blushed.
"Um I mean." I looked down blushing and stuttering. I was laying down and he gently placed his hand on my cheeks then leaned in and kissed me. I blinked in surprise but then I slowly started to close my eyes and kiss him back and I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him to lay on top of me. He smiled and continued to kiss me. Each kiss getting more and more passionate than the other. He pulled away and I looked at him and he was blushing a little.
"Yuki what's wrong?" I asked him and his blush deepened.
"I've never..." I smiled at him. I knew what he meant.
"And you act like I have? It's just you and me. Relax." He rested his forehead on mine and kissed me. His hand started to make way to my shirt, but it seemed like he wasn't sure about it.
I giggled and I sat up and flipped us so he was sitting upright under me and I straddled him. I kissed him again and his arms wrapped around my waist. My hands slid down his front and I started undoing his shirt. He looked up to me and ran his hands up and taking off my shirt. I put my arms up and help him. My shirt came off exposing my breasts, he cups them with his hands and he looked up at me. I blushed and nodded for him to continue and he kissed my neck and he slowly moved his hot kisses down to my chest.
"Yuki.." I moaned and I felt my face and my center grow warmer with each kiss he placed on my skin. I leaned back wrapping my legs around his waist and he got on top of me. I could feel something hit my core and I moaned at the feeling of it. Yuki moved to kiss my neck and his hands cupped my breasts.
"Oh Yuki." I moaned and I got his shirt off of him. I was in pure bliss.
Until his phone started ringing.
"Hold on." He said huskily and he sat up and he reached for his phone and he turned around and answered it.
"Hello?" He said into the phone and I was feeling mischievous and I started to kiss the back of his neck and I saw him blush.
"Hatori whatever it is I will call you later, I'm really busy right now." Yuki said and I moved my hands to hold him and to feel his chest and abdomen and I kept kissing his let out a sigh.
"Alright. I'll be there soon." He said and he hung up the phone.
"I've being called to the main Sohma house. All of the members of the zodiac and even that stupid cat is being called." He said in frustration. I kissed him lovingly.
"It's okay I understand." He picked up his shirt and started to put it on. I wrapped my arms behind hand and kept on undoing the buttons on his shirt.
"You say you understand yet you keep undoing my shirt." He laughed and he turned around o face me.
"I have to go. Or I could get in a lot of trouble." He said and I pouted.
"Alright..." I said defeated and he kissed me passionately.
"How about this weekend we got to the Sohma's lake house and hot springs? We can finish what we started there." He said in a deep voice but I blushed and nodded.
"Okay. Now go I wouldn't want you to get in trouble." He got up and I was still sitting in the bed and he kissed my forehead and pulled me up and hugged me.
"I will see you later, Inari." He whispered I nodded at him and kissed him again for good measure. That nightmare has me feeling like I'm going to lose him at any moment. I walked him to the door and watched as he walked away. I slumped against the door and I let out a sigh. There went my plans. I went into the bathroom and I took a quick shower and I decided to go shopping before I would have to go to class. Amaya came home and I was just about to head out.
"Hey where are you going? Why aren't you at school?" She asked me.
"Mine and Yuki's morning classes were canceled until 1." I said to her and I closed the door and decided to stay a few more minutes.
"How are you? You don't look to happy? Did you have another nightmare? Amaya asked me as she she on the couch.
"Yeah but that's not why I'm upset. Yuki called got to the main Sohma house and we were going to spend time together until class."
"Oh I am sorry, yeah shigure had to go into see Mitchan. I think I am in love with him." She said.
"I will go shopping with you if you give me a min for me to shower and change"
"Whoa whoa wait a minute!" I yelled and I grabbed her arm.
"Are you serious?"
"Serious about what?"
"About you loving Shigure."
"Yes, I am serious. I can't quite believe myself but I think I am." She said and he cheeks were red.
"Well you're not the only one who is feeling the love bug." I said and I blushed.
"Aww you're in love with Yuki too?" She said teasing me.
"Shut up! Can you blame me?" I exclaimed and then I blushed more.
"I don't blame you, we can hug them and not transform."
"I fell for him before that." I mumbled.
"I know. Alright I will get ready and we will head out" she said and ran to her room.I sat there and I thought about it. I decided that I'm going to tell Yuki that I love him when I see him again.
"Alright I am ready, let's go" she opened the door and walked up to me.
Normal POV
Yuki walked to the main Sohma house. He wasn't excited for this at all. He was a little angry about his morning being ruined.
He walked into the room and all the members of the zodiac were sitting down. He took a sit by momiji. Shigure walked in not longer after him. shigure sat by Ayame and Hatori.
Yuki was even shocked to see Kyo allowed to come in. He wasn't sitting by the table but he was standing by the wall. The air was tense which it always was when being summoned by Akito and when they were waiting for his arrival.
The room already seemed cold and got even colder once Akito walked into the room. All the small chatter going on stopped immediately.
"Well don't you all stop on my account." Akito said calmly.
"Akito how are you doing?" Shigure asked.
"I am doing fine, considering I have Hatori to always look after me." Akito said as he walked over to the center on the room.
"But I've noticed I haven't seen much of you or Yuki, Shigure why is that?" Akito said calmly.
"Well Yuki is very busy with school and my new editor keeps me busy as well." Shigure said quickly.
"Oh okay" Akito said and took a quickly glance over to Yuki.
"I hope you're all coming to our new year's banquet this year. Its Ritsu's time to perform. I wouldn't want anyone to miss it. Except for the cat." Akito said and Kyo looked angry and controlled his emotions.
"I don't believe I will be able to make it Akito." Shigure said.
"Neither will I." Yuki said.
"Well why not?" Akito said.
"My new book debuts on New Year's Eve and there is a party I must attend as the author." Shigure lied.
"I have a school function, that I can not miss." Yuki said firmly even though he was also lying. Hatori shot a glance at Shigure and Yuki.
"Oh... Well I still hope I get to see you two during the three day event." Shigure and Yuki didn't say a thing. They had planned things for Amaya and Inari and they couldn't say it. There were a few more announcements before they were all dismissed. Everybody got up to leave.
"Shigure and Yuki, will you please hold on a minute. I would like to speak with the two of you?" Akito said. Shigure and Yuki stopped on their heels turned around.
Shigure and Yuki sat down next to each other and once the door closed Akito turned to face them.
"It seems you two take me for a fool." Akito said calmly.
"Akito what are you talking about? Of course not. We wouldn't dare."Shigure said
"Don't lie to me Shigure." Akito said and he poured himself more tea.
"I know about those two girls." He said ominously. Yuki felt a chill down his spine.
"What are their names... Oh yes Amaya Okami and Inari Kasai." Akito said and the hair on Shigures neck stood straight and Yukis posture stiffened.
"I've heard they are quite beautiful. The wolf being your editor and the fox a classmate. Reminds me of Miss Honda." Akito said as he sipped his tea. Yuki and Shigure sat there stoic.
"I'm sure you boys understand, that these relationships you have with these two can not and will not continue."
"There's nothing going on between Ms. Okami and I, Akito. She is just my editor." Shigure said.
"Ms. Kasai is nothing more than a classmate, Akito." Yuki said.
"Lies!" Akito yelled and he threw his tea across the room. He picked up photos and he threw them down in front of him. The photos were Amaya and Shigure in the park the day before and Yuki and Inari when Yuki picked her up from work. It was obvious they were taken from a distance and Yuki and Shigure couldn't hide the relationships now if they tried since they were kissing in the photos.
"Now why don't you tell me the truth!" Akito yelled.
"Akito, Ms. Kasai and Ms. Okami are very important to us." Shigure said calmly.
"I don't care what these little harlots are to you. You will end your relationship with them."
"I will not end my relationship with her. I love her." Shigure said. Akito walked over to him and was going to raise his hand but Shigure stopped it.
"I won't end my relationship with Ms. Kasai either." Yuki said
"Don't you two understand!? It doesn't matter how much you care about them or love them they will never love you!" Akito yelled.
"You don't know that Akito." Shigure added.
"You know, Hatori was in love once and look at what happened." Akito spat.
"Yuki you wouldn't want something to happen to your little fox do you? And Shigure if you really love her you will let go. I am surprised you're acting this way, Shigure considering the fact that you were here when Hatori hurt his eye. I thought you wouldn't think twice but to bow you head to me and apologize." Akito added.
"You don't know that Akito, and I will do anything to protect Inari." Yuki spat and got up and Shigure followed
"Oh but I do Yuki. How could she possibly love a rat? And Shigure that girl could never love the womanizing dog. Save yourselves from the heartache. Hatori could very easily erase their memories." Akito laughed. Amaya and Inaris faces appeared in their minds. Shigure turned around and faced akito in rage so did Yuki. Akito's words were cutting through them like broken glass.
"I will say it again Akito. I love Amaya Okami, I will protect her. And I will not let you hurt her." Shigure said his voice getting louder with each word.
"I love Inari, and if you lay a finger on her. I will never step a foot in this house ever again. Your precious Rat will be gone forever." Yuki spat at Akito. Shigure and Yuki stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut. They both walked over to their car silently and quickly. They didn't want to stay any longer than they needed to. They were frazzled and worried. Worried for the girls safety. They had to be on guard.
"Shigure, what are you going to do? We know how Akito can get when he loses his temper." Yuki said as he got in the car. Shigure turned to him.
"I will just have to be more careful about where I go with Amaya. I am not letting Amigo get in between Amaya and I. You should be careful too. We should probably call them and warn them about Akito."
"You're right." Yuki mumbled and he started calling Inari but it just rang.
"She's not answering." Yuki mumbled and Shigure handed him his phone.
"Call Amaya." Shigure said and Yuki tried calling her and she didn't answer either. Yukis phone vibrated.
"I'm in class. I'll see you later after I get out of work xoxo Inari." The text message said and he told Shigure though he left out the xoxo part.
"Well she's safe for now but what about Amaya." Shigures phone beeped.
"Mitchan called me in to meet the new author I'm working with. I'll call you later Xoxo Amaya." Yuki read to him. Shigure let out a sigh of relief.
"Should we text them about Akito, Yuki?" Shigure said he was very worried.
"I rather just tell them in person. I don't want Inari to be stressed out in school and transform." Yuki said calmly.
"You're right, I will go with you over to their house tonight." Shigure said.
"What a mess." Yuki said and she shook his head in annoyance and he looked out the window.
"Have you told her yet?" Shigure asked and Yuki didn't have to ask him what he meant.
"No I was planning on doing it this weekend." Yuki mumbled.
" sounds like a good plan." Shigure said.
"What about you Shigure, have you told Amaya yet? " Yuki asked and Shigure's cheeks turned red.
"Not yet but soon." Shigure said quickly. They arrived home and they walked back to the house in silence. Yuki decided not to go to his class. He wasn't in the mood today especially after what had happened. He laid down in his bed and was texting Inari back and forth.
Shigure mind kept wandering to Amaya as he worked on his manuscript. He was worried and he wanted to see her now.
-later-
Inari finished her work and she was in the back room changing her clothes. Amaya was meeting her to walk with her home. Inari was going with Yuki this weekend to the Sohmas Hot springs and she couldn't be more excited. She blushed every time she thought of it. She left the room and ran outside and she found Amaya.
"Hey let's go. I still need to pack." Inari said and she threw on her jacket.
"What time are you two leaving tomorrow?" Amaya asked as they started to walk down the alley from the Cafe.
"Like really in the morning. Like 6 am. He's spending the night tonight so we can just wake up and leave."
"Okay, that should be fun. Shigure might come over tomorrow."
They continued walking when we saw a black car pull up in front of them. A tall handsome man came out. He was wearing all black and walked over towards them.
"Hello there." He said in a deep ominous voice.
"Oh don't look scared. I'm a relative of Shigure and Yuki. My name is Akito." He had a smile on his face but nothing about him was friendly.
We both froze as Yuki's warning ran through our minds.
"Someone we hope you never get to meet."
Inari took a step back and while holding on to Amaya's arm.
"Don't look so frightened, I am just here to talk." He said as he took a step towards them.
"I've heard you've gotten quite close to my Yuki and my Shigure..." Akito said as Amaya and Inari shook in fear.
"Specially you, Amaya" Akito said as he took a step closer to Ayama.
"That needs to change." Akito snarled.
"what do you mean?" Inari asked.
"I don't like when people, try to take what's mine. You can ask Hatori. Someone tried to take him away from me so I hurt Hatori right in front of them. Poor Hatori nearly lost his vision because of it." He spat and got closer to Inari.
"You two wouldn't want something like that to happen to Yuki and Shigure, now would you?" He said.
"How could you do something like that to your family!?" Inari yelled and she stepped closer to Akito.
"Family doesn't do that to each other. You can't control Yuki and Shigures life! They are allowed to do whatever they want and be with whoever they want!" Inari yelled but she didn't stop.
"What gives you the right to do that? Nothing!" Inari yelled again and loud slap was heard in the middle of the night. Akito had slapped Inari so hard across the face that she was bleeding near her eye and cheek and it was likely to bruise.
Amaya stepped in between Ina and Akito. She grabbed Akitos arm to push him away, but then Akito pushed Amaya.
"Get your filthy hands away from me." He said pushed Amaya. Amaya went over to Inari who was cradling her face on her hand.
"If I see you two near them or hear about the two you, I will kill them. I am the only one who can have them." He said and grabbed Amaya face then pushed her back.
"If you open your mouth to anyone about this or the curse. You will never see them ever again." He said and walked towards the car. Inari shook and she cried. She hugged Amaya and they both silently cried.
"Oh Maya what do we do?" Inari cried.
"I don't know, let's get you home and take care of the cut on you face." Amaya said and they both walked home quietly thinking about what to do next.
"There's no doubt in my mind he will hurt them Maya." Inari said as Amaya tended to her face.
"Yuki told me stories about Akito. He is dangerous." Inari looked down and she cried.
"I don't want Yuki hurt." She mumbled. There was a knock on the door and Inari jumped.
"It's Yuki." She breathed.
"I know Shigure told me about Hatori's eyes before. Do you want me to get the door?" Amaya asked. He knocked again.
"I need to go do it. We both do."
"Alright" Amaya said they both walked to the front door and opened the door. The door opened and Shigure and Yuki were standing by the door.
"Oh no Inari what happened to your face?" Shigure asked and Yuki pushed passed him and held her face in his hands.
"What happened?" He asked concerned and the look on his face broke her heart.
"I just tripped. Yuki can we go for a walk we need to talk." She said and she looked down at her feet.
"Yes, is everything alright Inari?" He said. They both stepped out of her house. Inari walked forward with him in silence.
'I don't want to do this.' She thought to herself as she walked and cried.
"Inari, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Yuki said as he reaches his hand on her shoulder. She looked down and her bangs covered her eyes.
"I can't do this anymore Yuki." She said and she tried to hold back more tears. Her heart was breaking in her chest and she was shaking.
"You can't do what anymore, Inari" he said and tried to hug her but she pushed him away from her.
"Inari what's going on? What happened? Did I do something wrong?"
"Yuki I can't be with you anymore." She said and her voice was shaking and wavering. Yuki felt like a knife was being stabbed repeatedly into his chest.
"We aren't meant to be together."
"Inari, what are, what do you mean?" He said and ran his hand through his hair.
"Did I do something?" His voice started to shake.
"No...just please stop making this harder than it needs to." She couldn't look up at him and she walked past him to go back to her home. He tried to grab her arm and pull her close but she pulled away and ran to her house. She slammed the door shut behind her. She locked the door and threw herself on the bed and cried.
Yuki stood there as he watched Inari run from him. He had been hurt many times in his life. From people he thought were friends from Akito from his brother and his own mother but all of those pains combined couldn't even amount to the pain he felt in his chest now.
"But I love you." He said and it started to rain. Inari was long gone and Yuki couldn't even move. All he could do was stand there in the rain while he stared at where the love of his life just ran out of his life. He punched the stone wall of the building next to him. He couldn't even get the courage to run after her. What had changed? Why? Why now? They were so happy this morning.
'Akito was right…' He thought to himself. He fell to his knees. He tried to call Inari and her phone went straight to voicemail.
'No Inari…' He thought to himself. He had never felt so broken and alone.
Amaya's POV
I watched as Ina and Yuki walked off. I felt so bad for the both of them. I know Yuki came to really care for her and Ina loved him. But as much as I was upset and worried about her I had to fight back my own tears.
"Shigure we need to talk." I said and he smiled at me. No Shigure please don't smile at me.
"I want to take you somewhere." He tried to hug me, but I just stepped back from him. I walked towards the door and he followed me.
"Amaya what's wrong?" Shigure asked me. I quickly wiped the tears that were forming in my eyes.
"Nothing." I said and we got to a park near my house.
"Amaya, you're sad. What's going on?" He asked and looked so worried. It broke me heart to see him that way. I couldn't say anything to him. I couldn't even look at him. He came up and he held my face in his hands.
"Amaya please tell me. Why are you and Inari so sad and what happened to her? You're starting to worry me." I felt a tear fall down my cheek and I reached up to grab his hands and pulled them away from me and I turned my back to him.
"I think we should stop seeing each other Shigure..." I said and started to to cry.
"I think it will be best if we didn't see each other anymore." I turned around to face him and started to rain. I didn't want to hurt him but I didn't want to see him get hurt.
"I am sorry Shigure." I said and he just stood there.
"Amaya, why?" I couldn't say anything and I looked away from him.
"Amaya please just tell what have I done wrong? We were happy earlier. What's changed?" He asked me in a sad voice and I could feel my heart breaking.
"I am doing this for the best okay, I can't tell you why, just please." I started to cry and I fell on my knees. He fell to his own knees in front of me and he put his hands on my shoulders.
"Amaya please. Whatever it is we can make through it together." He said and he tried to peer into my face.
"I can't..." I said and I tried to look away but he put his hands around my shoulders. I closed my eyes and Akitos image floated in my mind. I opened my eyes and pushed him back and he fell down. I got up and left.
Normal POV
Shigure couldn't even get to his feet quick enough. When he finally stood on his two feet, Amaya was already gone and out of sight. He knew something was wrong. They had been so undeniably happy for such a long time. He couldn't fathom what could have gone wrong.
'I've lost her...the love of my life and I lost her.' Shigure punched the ground in frustration. He had been so happy. He found someone who put up with his antics with a smile and had made him feel whole. Someone who he could hold and love and who had gladly given him the love he craved in return. But now she was gone and he didn't know why. He couldn't understand why this happened especially considering the night before. What had he done? He warily stood up. He got a text from Yuki asking him to pick him up and he stood and walked to his car. He fought the tears. He fought the pain. He felt so heartbroken.
