Akito

Saki finished her packing and Tohru looked at her. She blushed. Tohru already knew what happened. For a girl that couldn't get her own feelings out in the open, she sure could see others' feelings. Then again, Tohru probably knows me better that anyone. No, I guess she is in second, hard to believe. Yuki is in first place now. They both could mutually understand each other.

A knock was heard on the door. "Coming!" Tohru ran to the door as she grabbed her bag. She was afraid to be late again. As she opened it, she ran when she saw Yuki's face. "I'll leave you two alone." She then disappeared down the hall, leaving the two lovebirds alone.

"So, want to go in the cab to your house?" Yuki asked.

"No, Kagura asked me to meet her somewhere." Yuki's face dropped. He already figured out that Kagura knew that Saki was in on the family's secret. "If I meet her, she promises she won't spill the beans. It is something about fair warning about getting into the Souma family. From what you told me, this family can get pretty dark, am I correct?"

"Yes, you probably should consider your choice, but it is too late now. You had fair warning. No, I really don't want you to go at all." Yuki's stomach growled. "First, can we get some food?" Saki nodded and they both descended from the steps.

The people below were in disbelief, okay, not all of them. Momiji was super happy still because he was that much closer to having Tohru (come on, he can't be that innocent) and Tohru looked even happier. Ayame was cheering, "Beautiful love! Beautiful love," over and over again.

Now to the people that were in actual disbelief. "What the hell?" Yelled Kyo.

"I can't believe it, but I am agreeing with Kyo." Kyo scowled at Hiro when he said that. "Yuki could get any girl and who does he pick? The weird gothic one with the creepy wave power that is almost as scary as Akito."

"I think it is kind of nice. Yuki's happy." Kisa said.

Hiro blushed and suttered back, "I guess that's true."

Shigure was moaning, "Why didn't I see this coming?"

"Can you shut up, your moaning is getting annoying." Hatori just woke up in the morning. Like Yuki, you just don't get on Hatori's bad side in the morning. Shigure shut up and was wisely backing away.

"Good luck Yuki." Haru said. It will be fun to see black Haru's reaction to this development, but that is for an another chapter.

By the way, Hiro should have never mentioned Akito's name. Now, he appeared out of nowhere. Why? Because he wanted to beat some sense into that cat that fell in love with Tohru. No, he came to check in on his zodaics. Right...that was totally what he was here for. He looked very angry and pointed at Saki. "What are you doing here?"

"You know what? I should get out of here now." Saki was inching to the door to run away. Akito still remembered what she did to him. That was a mistake.

"Oh shit!" Momiji, Haru, Yuki, Kyo and Tohru (incredibly, since that girl never curses), "He found out! Run Saki, run!"

"Is there something I should know?" Shigure asked.

"That girl almost killed me!" Akito screamed. Momiji, Haru, Yuki, Kyo, Tohru, and Saki were nervously laughing.

"You did what!" Shigure exploded in anger. "What in the hell did you do! Tell me now!" Shigure didn't look like the Shigure we knew. I guess that is what happens when you put his love in the hospital. Back to the story.

"I let my temper get out of control a little bit. He was only in the hospital for a week tops." Saki stated.

"What about the other two weeks?" Akito yelled back.

"That actually wasn't me." Saki stated again. "You got better when I was gone, correct? Then you fell ill. I can't strike you from a distance. I have to see you."

"That does make sense." Ayame said. "Then who did it then?"

"Tell me, who did it!" Akito grabbed Saki. Saki just stared back at him, calm.

Yuki couldn't remain calm. He ran over and pushed Saki out of the way. Saki was already building her energy up and redirected it to Yuki's curse by the power of Tohru's memory. She then saw the rat spirit in Yuki. Time slowed down for her. She picked the rat up. She noticed how it felt trapped and scared. "Don't worry, you won't have to be trapped any longer. You can go free." She saw a line and felt that Megumi's curse from before could be activated. She used it to cut the line and the rat was free.

"Thanks for freeing me after all these years. Maybe we'll meet again." The rat disappeared away and so did the world it was in. Saki was back in the real world.

"What why didn't he transform! Where is it! Where is it!" Akito was in a state of panic. The rat spirit was gone.

Meanwhile, something came crashing through the wall. It was a car with Kagura and Megumi in it. "Hey we came to take you away!" Kagura grabbed Yuki and Saki. The main problem with her grabbing Yuki is that he crashed into her. Which wouldn't be a problem five minutes ago but it was now. Kagura transformed.

Megumi took the wheel and pushed the gas petal. He could barely see out the window. In spite of that, he was driving pretty well. In fact, better that most Florida drivers (1). "I had a bad feeling when you didn't show up on time, so Kagura borrowed a Souma car and drove to the beach house."

"Thanks, but when did you learn how to drive a car so well?" Saki asked.

"Video games are pretty realistic these days." So that was what he did in his room all day. I guess you had to do something out of the sun.

Author's note:

(1) Florida drivers- this is a reference to where I live. You don't bike or walk around here for fear of getting run over. Drivers run red lights all the time and go drive on sidewalks. In fact, I wouldn't drive a motorcycle/moped/scooter here.
