Chapter 21. So much written, yet so little. I don't have much to say up here... oh wait! I gave my cat a bath and came out with just two scratches! And one was my fault... I stepped on the cat brush and stabbed my foot. :D My cat is clean though, so I'm happy. But, anyways, on to Chapter 21! Enjoy to the fullest!
OoO
Strawberries...
Kyo woke up slowly, savoring the taste of strawberries on his lips. He had dreamed the same dream almost every night for several days now. Though he still had no idea who this girl was, he still loved to have this dream.
Awake and refreshed, he jumped out of bed and stretched, then he remembered. A meeting with Akito today... he moaned and collapsed back on his bed. He hated Akito. He hated having meetings with him. The main reason he hated it was because it was usually all of the rest of the Juunishi too.
He would have to deal with Kagura's obsessive love and Yuki's glares, though since he had stopped talking, he didn't have to deal with his mean comments. He would have to deal with Momiji's hyper-ness and Ayame's stupidity.
All of this made him angry, and whatever good mood he had had disappeared. He growled angrily and slammed his fist onto his bed. "This sucks!" he snapped to the empty air in front of him.
But there was a bright side. When he got home, he could home he could take a nap. And this he happily welcomed.
Strawberries...
OoO
"Honda!"
Tohru jumped around and said, on alert, "Yes, Akito-san!"
"I'm having a meeting with the Juunishi today. You will attend and serve us snacks and drinks!" at this, the head of the house turned and glided away.
Wha-What? She thought, surprised beyond words. The broom that she had in her hands dropped and fell to the floor with a clatter. She jumped, surprised and glanced around. "Wait... Wait, what?" wide eyed, she picked up her broom.
"Tohru, are you ok?"
She shrieked and lifted her broom to protect herself.
"Its just me, Tohru."
She opened her eyes and glanced around. "Oh, um, hello, Hatori-kun."
"So I guess Akito told you about our meeting, huh?" he asked, sticking his hands in his suit pant pockets.
"Yeah." tears filled her eyes and she ducked her head. "W-Why is he letting me 'meet' them, Hatori-kun? I-I'm not sure if I can do this..."
He tilted her chin up so that their eyes met. "You can do this Tohru. Just be yourself. That's what helped them before. Bring them back and heal them. I know you can do this."
She wiped her cheeks and blushed. "Th-thank you, Hatori-kun."
He smiled. "You're welcome, Tohru. I'll see you later." he strode off, blank face set in place.
Tohru smiled. Thank you, Hatori-kun.
