Sup people, yes I am extremely late in updating, this is because final week is only a week away at my school so its projects, projects, tests, tests, study, study, catching myself on fire, blah. So by the time I am finished with all these activities I usually pass out. Anyways yeah too many excuses well no way in hell I'm rushing through a chapter, so sorry. Well, thank you all for the awesome reviews. I would like to answer a couple of questions and make comments on a few.

To Seto's Swifey: Well so far Akito's actions for wanting Tohru in the Main House is written in the summery but also it's not totally revealed what exactly his plans are for Tohru. So sorry but you have to wait like the rest of em ;).

SunMoonandSpoon: Yes I did make up that line about Ren giving birth to snow. Personally I found it cheesy haha.

SoulfulZen Thelema Mephistos: I doubt you will read this but alright and I have no idea where my muse is either. If you hate him so much though, what possessed you to read a A/T fic? I suppose curiosity, who knows, anyways hope you find a fic that is more to your taste. Yes insanity is fun and lovable, I find it quite nice on Tuesdays.

Well here is another winged chapter, sorry but I decided might as well get it in for those of you insane people, cough Sm-candy cough. I'm joking girl you know I love ya ;). Also I have done another double chapter post, so hope that made things better. I will post one in the morning and one at night. I'm switching from doing my fanfics and projects. Please enjoy and I hope that there aren't too many grammar nazis reading this haha or else I'm screwed.

The wind whipped wildly, catching a few white snowflakes and tossed them to and fro across the icy ground. Tohru watched this from the safety of her warm bedroom. Her chocolate eyes quivered in thought as she absent mindedly played with her flower print skirt. Her mind was a flame of thoughts and ideas on what exactly Akito meant by "worship god." How does one exactly worship god? Or more specifically, worship a god who they don't believe exists? Tohru was smart enough to come to the conclusion that Akito wasn't a god, he was far from that. She didn't see him as a devil either, no, more as something in between…he was human. Still if breaking the curse was to worship god, then Tohru would go as far as writing his name with her own blood in worship if that's what it took.

Tohru looked down at her fluffy pink slippers, mumbling to herself, "worship god." She glanced up at her Mogeta calendar. It was December and Christmas was coming up soon. Not many people in Japan celebrated this American holiday but Tohru's mother loved it, mostly because of the Christmas Cake which was surprisingly a Japanese tradition and not American.

"Wait! That's it! People always celebrate in the name of their god, so perhaps I should throw a Christmas party. Of course, it's not exactly in Akito's name but I'm sure he's never celebrated Christmas, so we can celebrate him celebrating it!" She exclaimed while confusing herself a bit.

Tohru paced back and forth as ideas began spewing forth from her brain, "now, all I have to do is convince Akito-san….that's going to be hard." She gulped while laughing nervously.

Ayame grumbled as he heard a loud knock erupt from the front door of his shop. How dare someone wake him from his beauty sleep? Ayame yawn wearily as he opened the door.

He blinked and smiled as he saw who it was, "ah! Gure-chan! What a surprise! Please, please, come in." Ayame led Shigure into his shop and plotted himself on the velvet couch.

"Good evening Aya," Shigure smiled while glancing around the unusual vacant costume shop, "business been slow?"

Ayame gave him one of those "are you kidding looks" while resting his head in his hand, " oh how I wish it was. No, it's been so busy and hectic that I had to close the shop. So many winter outfits I had to make! My beautiful fingers are sore and I broke a nail today."

"I'm sorry Aya, you poor thing," Shigure laughed as he began to message Ayame's sore fingers with his soft large ones.

Ayame smiled, obviously the finger message felt good, " so, what brings my lovely Gure-chan here? Besides the fact that you couldn't spend to live another moment without basking in the beautiful glow of my essence."

Shigure chuckled, "you know me well Aya. Actually, I came here for business, not pleasure."

"Oh?" Ayame gave him a curious look while scooting next to him, withdrawing his hand from Shigure's grasp.

"I was wondering if you could make me an outfit?" Shigure stated while giving him the puppy dog eyes look.

Ayame smirked, "I would love to you know that Gure-chan but I told you, I only make women's clothes."

Shigure frowned at his friend's belittling, "you know what I mean."

"Yes, yes, but what for? You're not cheating on me are you?" Ayame purred mischievously at Shigure.

"Of course not Aya, I wouldn't dream of it," Shigure smirked while gently grabbing Ayame's chin.

"I just have some plans that's all."

Yuki wheezed heavily as Hatori instructed him to sit up. He placed his stethoscope on the small of Yuki's back and listened intently to his slow heartbeats. Yuki shuddered at the cold touch of metal on his flesh. As Hatori continued listening to Yuki's ragged breathes, Yuki glanced around the lily pastel room wearily. He was out of the hospital but instead of going home, he was taken to the Main House. He remembered waking up in a frenzy of coughs but the moment he opened his eyes he knew exactly where he was. He knew exactly who dwelled in the cursed house. He was weak and powerless over Akito and he knew that Akito planned on having his full with him.

"Hatori, why must I stay here?" Yuki whispered as Hatori helped him lay down.

He removed the stethoscope from his ears before answering, "we can take better care of you here. There was a high risk of you transforming again at the hospital, we had to move you. Besides, Akito-san wished for you to stay here." The last thing Hatori said silenced all remaining objections Yuki had. Akito's wish was everyone's command and Yuki knew better than to waste his strength on arguing.

Hatori frowned at the crestfallen Yuki, he then smiled, "well, at least you get to see Tohru-san everyday." This made Yuki a little happy.

"You're right, I should feel lucky that she is here," Yuki's eyes twinkled sadly. Even though he was grateful of Tohru staying at the Main House, he wished she wasn't anywhere near the dreadful place. He'd rather stay here alone to face Akito then have her suffer the same fate.

"You're improving. You'll be fine in about a week," Hatori declared as he stood up to leave.

"I'm so glad!" A voice exclaimed, causing both men to jump in surprise. Tohru beamed in the doorway, a tray of goodies in her hand.

"Good evening Tohru-san," Hatori bowed while packing up his things.

Tohru frowned, "I brought some lunch for Yuki, won't you join us Hatori-san. I can go make more food if you'd like. "

Hatori shook his head apologetically, "I'm sorry Tohru-san but I'm quite busy today and I don't want you to go through the trouble."

"Ok then but I really don't mind," Tohru frowned sadly.

"Well, that food does look rather tempting," Hatori grinned before grabbing two sandwiches and walking off.

"Hey! That's mine," Yuki grumbled while Tohru giggled at the surprisingly childish Hatori.

"You didn't have to make lunch, Honda-san," Yuki sighed.

"I wanted too, besides, you must be hungry," Tohru placed the tray on the nightstand and sat down on the edge of the bed next to Yuki.

"It's great that you'll be better by next week," Tohru piped merrily. Yuki nodded while helping himself to a rice ball, he wasn't that hungry but he didn't want all of Tohru's hard work to go to waste. Also, he could always make room for her cooking.

"Just in time too," Tohru added while pouring some tea for Yuki.

He raised his eyebrow inquisitively, " just in time?"

"Yes, Christmas is coming soon and I'm going to throw a party. All of the Zodiac members are invited!" Tohru grinned widely.

Yuki was beyond baffled and somewhat in shock, "Christmas? Party? Wait, what? When did you decide this?"

Tohru pouted while beginning to play with her hands, "you think it's a bad idea?" Yuki coughed as he chocked on a piece of rice ball at Tohru's adorably cute pout. He blushed, stammering slightly, "no, no! It's a great idea, just that none of the Zodiac members have celebrated Christmas before and there's asking permission from Akito and all."

"Don't worry! I'll teach you all how to celebrate it. My mother and I used to all the time, so I'm a pro! Also, I'm going to try to convince Akito-san on the idea I'm sure with enough persuasion he'll say yes," she said confidently.

"Tohru I don't-"

"Persuasion?" a dark voice interrupted, making both Yuki and Tohru jump out of their skins.

"Akito-san," Yuki whispered threateningly as he gazed at his tormentor who leaned against the wall, his dark robe slightly drooping.

Akito smirked while walking towards the two, "missed me, Yuki?"

He began to play with a brown strand of Tohru's hair, "now, what exactly did you want to convince me about?" He had only heard his name and about Tohru saying how she was going to try and persuade him to agree on something. He had decided to visit Yuki today and the fact that he found him alone with Tohru made him more than angry. He would have to punish both of them.

"Ah, well you see Akito-" Tohru began nervously before feeling an arm snake around her waist and Akito pull her towards him.

"By the looks on both of your faces, it seems as if you're all hiding a dirty little secret. Well, are you?" Akito purred into Tohru's ear while staring with a toothy grin at the jealous Yuki.

"Akito-san," Yuki growled as he watched with a fury Akito's hands trailing across Tohru's creamy chin.

"Yes, Yuki?" Akito smiled innocently while pretending to be interested in Tohru.

Tohru watched the hateful glares exchange between the two and gulped, " Akito-san, I was wondering if I could ask of you a favor." Tohru tried to distance herself from him but he only brought her closer.

"Of course but it depends if I feel like granting it. But, I already have an idea of what it could be," Akito smirked while trailing a finger across her cheek. Tohru froze as her eyes darted around the room, her heart was beating so fast it was about to explode. Akito had to bite his tongue to keep from bursting into a fit of laughter. The look on Yuki's face was priceless. It was even more fun then putting him into that room Yuki "loved" so much.

"Y-you do?" Tohru stuttered, a blush evidently growing on her cheeks. Akito merely threw a mocking glance at Yuki before running a hand down Tohru's back, erupting a gasp from her. Yuki's nails practically ripped the silk sheets as he stared at Akito touching Tohru so inappropriately. His eyes widened as he saw Akito begin to lean towards Tohru's lips.

Yuki felt himself crack and let out a thunderous yell, " STOP IT!" Tohru blinked, confusion apparent in her eyes as Akito smugly grinned at him. Yuki's chest suddenly tightened and a bloodcurdling fit of coughs pounded in his throat.

"Yuki-kun! Oh no!" Tohru sprang towards him, holding him gently as Yuki's lavender eyes grew hazy with tears.

Yuki clenched his chest, "Hatori…go get…Hatori," he panted while pointing to the door. Tohru nodded before running out the door, not thinking of the consequences of leaving a defenseless Yuki alone with an angry Akito.

Akito merely yawned, uninterested nor bothered by the situation. He turned towards Yuki, resting a fragile hand upon his head. He tugged at it his lovely gray locks roughly, making Yuki look up at him which didn't help at all with his coughing.

"There's no need for jealousy, Yuki," Akito reprimanded quietly as he stroked his cheek.

Akito cocked his head to the side and smiled malevolently, "you know I care for you and only you. She means nothing to me," Akito whispered while trailing a finger across Yuki's chapped lips.

"She thinks she's your savor, your martyr. If she intends on saving you. Then like every martyr, she must be crucified for all your sins and your lies." Akito frowned as he dug his nails into Yuki's cheek. Yuki's eyes widened and he let out a strangled gasp before spitting out blood. Crimson tears ran down Yuki's chin as Akito let go of him. He coughed up more blood, his heart pounding in his ears.

Akito wiped away the blood from Yuki's chin softly, "get well soon, Yuki." He then planted a kiss atop Yuki's milky forehead.

"I love you."
