Hatsuharu looked at the breakfast the nurse had brought him earlier, not a big fan of the taste, but he was glad to have something to eat. He had already finished all onigiri that Tohru had made for him and the fruits basket she had bought when she came to visit him with Yuki and Kyo. Haru was glad to have so many of people coming however, his most important one hadn't come to see him yet. Well, there were nothing he could do, she was probably not even aware of him being here, she did not come in the summer house with them, and if nobody has told her about his assault…Plus, she disliked hospitals, bringing her here would put her under stress and he did not want her to be anguished. He heard a knock and saw then his two older cousins head.

"Ah, Shigure-nii, Hatori." He said blandly, but his eyes showing gratitude. Shigure beamed joyfully and talked loudly only to be interrupted by Hatori frown. "This is a hospital, be quiet." He said and sat next to Haru bed. "How do you feel?"

"I barely feel my legs." He shrugged and Shigure went to the other side of the bed. "At least, you will be discharged next week, it will be better to be in your own bed." He said joyfully and Haru nodded, nothing was as good as his own bed. Yet, he preferred Rin's, the blanket was soaking in her scent and it was warmer. He sighed, he really wanted to see her but he couldn't move. He wanted to curse the men who attacked him out of nowhere. Those bastards got him by behind and even before he could react or turn black, they had knocked it out and he awoke only when he had felt a huge pain in his legs before leaving him, yelling to go before 'that ox could do anything!' Good thing Hiro and Kisa have been near, the moment they found him crawling on the ground, Hiro had run for help.

"I preferred you would stay in the clinic for your legs rehabilitations." Commented Hatori. But Ren decided that it was way too risky and ordered the ox back in his house. "It's okay, I'm sure you will treat them better than the doctors here." Said Haru before digging in his rice.

"They knew about the curse." Said Haru, making the two others men's eyes widen surprise. "What did you say?" asked Hatori "It can't be possible, only the inside family is aware of the curse, Re-I made sure of it." He said. Yet Hatsuharu shrugged. "They called me 'that ox' though." He said and Hatori eyes went wide and the room became silent again.

"Maybe they were people from the inside?" said Shigure, breaking the silence, swirling an apple in his hands. "Who?" called a rough yet feminine voice from the door. Hatsuharu turned his head and blinked, confused.

"Rin…What are you doing here?" asked Haru in awe. She had a scowl on her face and he was sure that if Shigure and Hatori weren't in the room, she would have yelled at him already. Everybody could feel how furious she was. She walked to the bed and eyed her boyfriend a moment before taking her attention back on her cousin. "Shigure-nii, who would do it?" she asked, once more. The man scratched his neck and looked at his friend. Hatori simply shook his head and Shigure had to face Isuzu anger alone.

"Well…Who you do think?" he said in shrug and Rin gritted her teeth. "Ren!" she whistled behind her teeth. Hatori called them out. "We can't accuse anybody without proof." He tried to calm the tension, scowling at Shigure for being at the origin of it.

"Hatori is right Rin." Said Hatsuharu, taking gently her wrist. She violently pulled it off. "Of course it's her! She hates us! She wants us to disappear! Since the beginning…" She shouted planting her nails in the heels of her hands. "I will…She will see…" she whispered and Hatsuharu scold her. "Don't do anything stupid Rin" he said "She don't deserve it, let her rot."

"Hatsuharu is right, and it can have repercussion, on Akito or on-"

"As if I give a shit about Akito, I never saw his fucking face, he could be already dead that it wouldn't change anything!" she screamed and Hatori looked stressfully at the door, she was too loud and nurses might come in to stop the racket. "Rin, don't say that." Cut Haru and they looked at each other in silence.

"Well, it's better if we let you two alone right?" said cheerfully Shigure, already walking out of the room. Hatori hesitated a second before following him and leaving the lovers having their privacy, closing the door. "Hey Haa-san, let's go for a smoke while waiting for Rin?" he offered, Hatori nodded, what did he have to lose?

They found a spot in the garden. They were both resting their back against the glass window. It has been a while since it was the two of them, since the catastrophic holiday, Hatori have been really busy with work and this morning was the only free shift he had since the two last weeks. It was strange, they used to pass all their mornings together "So, you're going back to work directly after?" asked Shigure. "Think to take a break~" he beamed.

"Nobody has a free schedule like you have Shigure." He dragged on his cig and made no comment when his friend started to chuckle.

"You're going to see her today?" he asked then, switching to another conversation. Shigure hummed. "Well, yeah, it's the only moment I can see her." He smiled sourly. "We had an argument because of that, you know?" He sighed "She was scared I would break up with her because of that, it's cute." He laughed warmly. It was cute for the moment, but if she uses this card each time, Shigure will grow annoyed of it. They were going to stagnate and it wasn't good.

"She probably has her reason to react that way." Said Hatori, Shigure smirked. "What, you're taking her defense?" he answered amazed and Hatori looked his cigarette helplessly, as if he wanted to say something. Shigure did not care, he looked up to the sky, it was going to rain today. "I told her that if we were going to meet only for a few hours per month, we won't have any future, and you know what she said?"

"What?"

"That I had no right to complain because I won't even hug her." He chuckled, but it sounded sour, morose. Hatori looked aside and crashed his cig on the floor. "…Why don't you try?" he finally answered "Hugging her." He added cautiously. Shigure looked at him with big eyes. "Are you serious?" Hatori shrugged and turned his back. "Why not? After all you could be surprised." He said. "I'm going back, I have to go to my next appointment." He waved his hand and left his friend here.

Akito snuggled her face against the plush she just won at the UFO catcher; it was a red fox as big as her face. Shigure did not know how they ended up in an arcade but he did not regret. He hasn't been in that kind of place since high school era, he missed it. It was nostalgic.

"You came here with Ayame?" asked Akito, staring the plush face. Shigure smirked, should he tell her it was the kind of place he took girls in to charm her before staying the night with? Should he try so he will see her reaction? Just by curiosity, just because he wondered if she would do a jealous, irritated and possessive face? Or should he take the risk to see her unhappy and yelling at him? He bent close over her ear.

"It's the kind of place boys bring girls before going to love hotel" he grinned at her surprised expression; wide eyes and light pink blush on her cheeks, adorable. "didn't you know?" he taunted and she nudged him. "Pervert." She said, walking aside to play with another arcade game. Shigure blinked amazed, he expected her to snarl at him or to be green of jealousy, but instead she just saw through him. He smiled genuinely; she was starting to understand how he worked. He felt that they were somehow moving forward.

He followed her and put his hands on her waist. It was the only contact between the two of them even if he wished more. He was taller so he could see what she was doing from where he was. She was staring at stuffed hello kitty zodiacs collaborated toys. Shigure smirked at this "I did not know you loved plushies that much aki~ that's adorable." She turned her head over him and glared. "Whatever!" she clicked her tongue and walked toward the door without looking at him.

"let's go, I want dorayaki." She simply said, the head high and her stuffed fox in her arms. Shigure chuckled and followed. "this woman!" he said amazed before catching her and taking her hand in his. "I prefer Takoyaki, we should share?" he said. She frowned. "I want dousha." She pouted and Shigure hummed. "Let's do this" he said, lifting a finger high. "The first shop we see, we get food from here." He said smugly. Akito gasped. "What, that's unfair, you know the area better that I!"

"In war, we had to choose the best weapon~" he winked, she sighed and massaged her temple. "You're worse than a kid sometime."

"I know you love it" he beamed "I never say I didn't" she muttered before turning her head away. However, Shigure could easily see her ear taking a reddish tone. Ah, Shigure had the urge to pull her by the wrist against him and kiss her until she had to beg for air. But he couldn't, so instead he just tightened his hold on her hand.

He stopped and sniffed in the air. "Smell like French fries." Akito frowned and sniffed too. "I smell nothing."

"It's because your nose is bad." He said and pulled her to the fast food before she could argue. He continued to smell and recognized the smell of a Kentucky chicken. Look like none of them will get want they wanted to eat originally. It was alright, they will eat Takoyaki next time he promised himself.

"Wait, a fast food? Right now?!" she yelped and he was delighted, it was another thing they hadn't done yet together. "Well, sadly we didn't have the chance to eat our Christmas chicken, it's the best occasion~" he sing-sang and entered in the fast food "Plus, it's going to rain better to be safe, right?" Akito looked at the blue sky a few seconds with a confused expression before taking her attention back on the place that she eyed curiously, like a scared cat and Shigure eased her up with a simple pull of his hand. He ordered a buck for the both of them and they sat at a table toward the window. She studied the buck and took a fried chicken between her fingers.

"What's that look? It isn't that different from karaage you know?" Akito scowled "It looks greasier…" she remarked and took a bite, unsure. Shigure chuckled and swallowed one he picked in one go. "Little princess is too used to luxury that she can't even eat the food of poor?" he taunted, as a challenge and she fired up and pulled several fried nuggets in her mouth, defy in the eyes.

He chuckled when she started to eat more slowly, swallowing hardly. "Too much for you princess?" he smirked and she muttered a 'fuck you' between two nuggets before putting the chicken back in the bucket. Shigure took it and eat it quickly. By the time the rain had started to fall, she was laying her back on her chair and rubbing her stomach, moaning that she ate too much. "We're never going here again…" she muttered between two angry noise. Shigure looked the spectacle with the bucket on his laps, eating it as if it was popcorn. "Haw, don't say that, we still have to go for Christmas I told you." He said cheerfully at her distaste.

She grunted and looked at her phone, she straightens her back and looked suddenly sad. Shigure did not need to look at his watch, it was time. He looked away, trying to not show his real feelings. "If you're over, can we go? My friend just texted me." She said, trying to sound neutral, almost disdainful. "All right, I'll walk you then." He answered, rising up from his chair and walking to the door, Akito behind him. He opened the door only to receive a hard slap of wind and rain in his face. It was strong and Shigure shielded Akito with his body, walking next to her against the way of the wind.

"You okay?" He asked, glancing at her. The stuffed fox she was holding was already drenched, as both of them where under the rain. Why he forgot to take an umbrella, he knew it was going to rain. They were now running, trying to avoid uselessly the rain drops. They passed by a crossed path, rushing at the red light. Shigure pulled her in his run, she was falling behind, her stamina not following. "W-wait!" she panted but Shigure was too busy rushing to care.

He was too focused to get her out of the rain, too focused to rush, too focused, that he did not noticed her slid over the pavement. He did not notice her stretching her arms toward him, searching for support in her falling. By the time he had turned his head in her direction her arms were ready to surround his body.

He, who was so in hurry, was suddenly seeing the time slowing down. One, she had already her hand on his chest, she had a look of surprise on her face, Shigure found her adorable and thought it was a good sight to remember when they will separate. Two, the force in her fall pushed both of them against the wall of a store, he could not escape and she will learn his terrible secret. Three, he hoped that thank to him she will like the dogs more, maybe he could make her change her mind? Her hand had slid from his chest to his shoulder, he took a deep and anxious breath as he felt for the first and last time her soft and delicate frame against him. He closed his eyes at the impact, ready to heard the usual 'pouf' before each transformation.

"Ah! Sorry!" She said urgently, out of breath "Why are you closing your eyes dummy?" she said in a worried and affectionate voice. He reopened his eyes again, was it a dream? No, the warmness of her body against his, her arms resting of each side of his shoulders, the way their noses were almost touching was so close, all of those were too real to be fake. He stared at her, unable to blink. He was sure he was seeing an apparition.

"Ah-It's your fault, I told you to wait!" She said, a scowl on her pretty, dollish face. She looked down on the pavement, as if searching for something, but Shigure did not care, she was in his arms and he was still human. "My fox!" she yelled, leaving his embrace to kneel down and pick up her stuffed toy. The lack of her between his arms was painfully making him aware of the lack of affection in his life and he needed Akito back against him and to never let her go again.

She stood up and studied the plush, a sad frown on her face. "it's all dirty…" she said to herself, but Shigure couldn't hear because there was a high-pitched noise echoing in his ears. He took her by the wrist and turned her toward him. "Shi-Shigure?" she called, unsure of that sudden change of behavior.

He looked at her, studied her body. She was a woman, he already had saw it multiple time, and that was the problem, because four women could embrace Shigure without him turning into a dog. The shy cursed of the tiger Kisa, the temperamental cursed of the boar Kagura, the loner cursed of the horse Isuzu and the imprisoned goddess "Akito"

"Yes?" she answered confused, fuck, wasn't she aware of the turmoil she was causing inside him? He looked at her, as seeing her for the first time and he traced the shape of her face. Before him stood the girl he had chosen, the girl he had left. The person he had been dreaming of for years and the girl he had learnt to know. Ah, everything made sense now and all things Akito had said to him flashed in his mind. "I don't have the choice I already told you!" because if Ren found out, it would be all over, isn't it? Because, they shouldn't have been able to meet each other to begin with, because Akito should be locked up in the main house. Fate was such an amazing thing, wasn't it?

He wanted to laugh; this situation was too much. He has been seeing her for more than a year, and he never noticed she was the goddess he was bonded with. This though hasn't even crossed his mind. He was really an idiot, wasn't he? He pulled her in his embrace and wrapped his arms tight around her small body, he needed it like he needed air to survive. She too held him back and he felt like his heart was leaving his body when he sensed her frails fingers grasping the back of his shirt. He exhaled in delight before snuggling his nose in her hair; he was the dog who caught the missing sun.

"Hm…Shigure…" he moaned sweetly in his ear. He pressed her body even closer. "Shigure…The time…" she reminded him and he suddenly felt alerted. He refused to let the woman he fell in love with, the goddess he ran after for years, leaving him. No, not when he just reunited with her. He tightened his arms and he heard her gasp. "Shigure, I really have to go…" she said and he closed his eyes. "Please Akito…Just one minute."

Just one minute for all the time I dreamed to embrace you with all my might. Just one minute for all the time we already lost.

Akito said nothing and rested her cheek on his shoulder. Shigure could feel the fast beat of her heart against his chest, he was in the same state. Why hadn't he realized earlier? If he did, he wouldn't have his heart torn apart for months because he couldn't choose between her and…her. Fuck, he hated thinking about all the time they lost because of it and how ridiculous the situation has been. And didn't Akito noticed that he was the dog, didn't she too feel their bond? He has been dreaming of her for years, wasn't she the same?

Slowly he let her go and she sneezed cutely, like a baby panda. She looked at him. "I going to get a cold" she grunted, yet she let herself rest against him body. Ah, that's true, she too wanted to be held by him. His love was not one-sided. Shigure put his chin on the top of her head and thought about all what happened during this year he passed with her. Akito was nothing of how he had imagined the god to be, actually, she was better, that's why he had chosen her at the end. Sure, she was an impatient prick, she over-reacted before thinking and she got easily angry, yet, she had the most beautiful smile of all, she was curious and teasing. She has a strong character and she wouldn't let people pull her in the mud, she was always improving, she was beautiful, charming, she was his as he was hers. He just loved her unconditionally. Shigure caressed her cheek before leaning and kissing her. It was the best, kissing her and hugging her tight against him. She shyly wrapped her arms around his nape and he deepened their kiss.

He remembered that it was raining the first time they had kissed. Just like today. He smiled against her lips before forcing hers open with his tongue. Her breath hitched and then he stole it away from her lungs, both of their body goose bumping from excitement. He made a throaty sound of delight when he felt her fingers slid on his scalp, gabbing a handful of hair, encouraging him to taste even more her mouth, teasing her sensitive lips with the tip of his tongue. They would have continued for hour if only the need of air and that killing-joy ringtone had not echoed. Why did she have to go?

They both panted when they separated and Shigure traced her lower lip with his thumb. She was ravishing with that drunken expression on her face. He caressed his nose against hers. "I have to answer…" she said breathlessly, Shigure made a hum, kissing her cheek. She had a soft laugh before pulling his face away "You distract me" she said, a grin on her lips and she answered the phone. "I'm coming…No, I'm alright" she frowned, her breath-taking smile disappeared. "I'm on my way, I told you, you worry too much!" Shigure took her free hand in his palm, squeezing gently her fingers to calm her down.

"I'm coming..." she said and hang up. She did not look at him but he know she was making a regretful face. Without a word, he walked her to the destination. From far he saw a branded car and he knew it was the one which came to bring back Akito to the mansion. She looked at the car and back to him. They must have looked like two pitiful and abandoned animals, drenched until the bones, yet they did not care. Akito pulled him by the collar and kissed him one last time and he held her. It felt so good to embrace somebody you love, so right.

"You took your time, but I appreciate it Shigure." She said lowly before breaking off and walking away toward the parked car up there. From far he saw a man exiting the car, an umbrella in the hand. Shigure recognized Kureno. Did he know, about them? Was he able to see Shigure from the distance? He stood here, watching her going into the vehicle and then being drove away before turning his heel and walking back to the Sohma estate.

Now that she was gone, all the feeling of joy and excitement disappeared for cold anger and betrayal. Did Kureno know and he told him nothing? Who else did knowing about this without telling neither of them? Yuki? No, Yuki did not know, or else he wouldn't have tried to change his mind when he announced his leaving of the zodiac. So…Nobody knew? Really?

"…Why don't you try? Hugging her… After all you could be surprised"

Shigure stopped in his track, a deaf sound resounding in his ears "...Haa-san"

Hatori was aware and he told him nothing! He looked in front of him with a hard look, he needed to talk with his dear friend.

He walked at fast pace, resolute, into the Sohma estate, in direction to the doctor's practice. He may have patients today, but Shigure did not give a fuck. He was ready to wait for the rest of the day to talk about Akito with his dear, dear, liar friend. For the first time, he did not knock at the door to announce his presence. He opened the door brutally, provoking a gasp from Hatori's patient.

"Ah? Shigure-san! You scared me!" laughed heartfully Satsuki, her belly starting to get rounder as her pregnancy was progressing. "Shigure, what the hell?" said Hatori, removing his stethoscope. "You're drenched, take a towel and wait outside" He sighed and apologized to Satsuki about it. "No, it's alright, Shigure can stay, we were finished anyway!" she laughed sweetly, like any future mother would do, and stood from the examination table. She rubbed her belly gently and Hatori walked her to the exit, advising her to watch out for the weather and closed the door. He turned and eyed his friend.

Shigure was lazily drying his hair, staring the wall. Hatori exhaled and shook his head. "You put water everywhere." Shigure smiled. "Ah, sorry I must smell like drenched dog haha!" he slid the towel on his shoulder. "I was with my adorable girlfriend and it had started to rain out of nowhere" he laughed and walked in direction of his friend when he saw him jolt, it was subtle yet Shigure could see it all, he knew he knew he knew. "I've made a great discover there haha!" he said cheerfully, masking his sourness. Hatori eyebrows twitched.

"Really…" Shigure looked down to his fingers. "What wasn't my surprise when I didn't transform when she fell in my arms." Hatori averted his eyes. "Yeah…Very surprised…" he repeated, lower. He looked at his friend again. "So tell me…Since when do you know, Haa-san." He was having one his twisted and dark smile. His voice held no light, only accusation, as his eyes. Well…Hatori knew it was going to end that way. He allowed himself to pick a cig. "You won't tell me Haa-san?" Shigure tilted his head, fixing his friend as he was taking a seat. The doctor took a drag and exhaled the smoke, taking his time to choose his words.

"You remember when you bought her flowers?" he said and Shigure frowned. "It was in December" he laughed, but it sounded fake. Hatori knew since December and he never told him anything, worse, Shigure has not noticed? Amazing. "Yeah, I visit her the next morning and I recognized the bouquet." Hatori smirked. "They don't sell many camelia during winter, specially coming from the same flower shop." Explained Hatori "It was the same ribbon."

Shigure laughed bitterly before falling silent and palming his face. "Why you didn't tell me?" he asked in a tired voice. "I wanted to, the moment I realized it was your damned flowers, I just wanted to shout at you. Really" he chuckled aimlessly. "But when I saw Ren destroying the bouquet and Akito devasted face, I was scared of the consequences." Hatori remembered Akito hugging what was resting of the bouquet. It was a pitiful sight and he just wanted to never saw her in that state ever again.

"Are you kidding me?" he busted out. "Haa-san, how stupid do you think I am really?" he was too busy laughing about the situation to feel outraged. Do no misunderstand, he was angry, really angry at Hatori for hiding him the true identity of Akito, this feeling of treason was the worst. "Shigure, I know if I had told you, you would have run to the main house or you would have tried to take her away and she don't need it." He tried to explain only to be interrupted by Shigure's laugh.

"So let her stay here and be beaten by Ren! Wow, I'm amazed by your ethic as a doctor Hatori!" The doctor grimaced. "Shigure you know that is not that easy!" he talked back, his friend throwing an angry glare. "Ren have every power here and she would find Akito in no time or she would take it on the others cursed and their family!" He stood up. "Do you assume the responsibilities of what could happens to Kisa or Hiro? You already saw was she was able to do, you saw Hatsuharu at hospital!"

"So instead you let her being abused by Ren?" he gritted his teeth. "It…" Hatori looked down. "It was something that happened when I was not watching…Know that Kureno and I are trying our best."

"Oh, I saw that." Shigure crossed his arms, falling back on his joyful mask. "And we saw how great you two are at it."

"What's your solution then Shigure? You want to take her away right? But you know well that she won't accept." Shigure opened his mouth to protest and then he remembered that time at the cat café when she cried. She was talking about the zodiacs at this moment, wasn't she? Ah, he felt a headache coming. He hid his face between his hand and breathed in.

"Who else know?" he asked, changing the subject. "Ayame" answered Hatori. "I told him" he said truthfully.

"What? Aaya? You told Aaya but not me, the main concerned?" Shigure said, frankly annoyed. "Well, Ayame had noticed that he was feeling attracted by her…Ah! No in this sense" he quickly added, noticing Shigure eyes. The dog put his fingers under his chin, that's true that Ayame that been strange the day he had took Akito in his shop, making her his special tea, offering the dress… "He always dreamed of dressing her up." He said sweetly. When she was born, the three of them have been aiming to makes her happy in the future. Ayame pictured all the clothes he would sew for her, Hatori wanted to makes sure she would never end sick and promised to watch her health in the future and Shigure wanted to become her shadow, the man that would be always by her side. At the end, Ayame became a couturier, Hatori a doctor and Shigure was going out with her. Yet, none of them succeeded to makes her happy.

"Shigure…You will tell her?" asked Hatori "Please, remember that everyone life will depends of your choice." He added and Shigure sighed. He wondered if he wasn't better to not know the truth.

Rin walked in direction of Ren's office. To be honest, she was scared. Ren never harmed her directly but she knows about the rumors and the whispers coming from the inside family. Their voices were like parasites echoing in Isuzu's head over and over again. She scratched her scalp anxiously; they were coming back. She felt like throwing up, she wanted to leave, she wanted to go back in her room and in the warmness of her bed, here, she won't be abandoned, she won't be harmed. She just needed to turn her heels and leave. Just to-

Hatsuharu sweet and comforting eyes appeared in her mind, chasing the bad words creeping in her head, like light erasing the shadow. She fisted her hands, gathering courage. She had to face Ren so she will protect Haru in the future. This won't happen ever again, not under her watch. She walked to the shoji doors and knocked, waiting for Ren mellow voice to allow her in.

"If it isn't Isuzu-chan. It has been a while, you grow up so much." She said, gesturing her hand. Isuzu stood by the door. "I wish I could see you more often, too bad we can't, right?" she smiled and Rin turned her head away. She didn't give a damn about this little talk Ren was doing, she was here for one reason and she won't leave before having answer.

"Hatsuharu is in hospital! He has been attacked!" she said, direct. Ren hid a smile behind her hand. "Really, that's a shame to hear? How it happened?" she said, failing to use her innocent tone. Isuzu snapped and clapped her palm on the table furiously. "I told you he has been attacked! By people of the inside family!"

"Here, Isuzu-chan, aren't you making assumption, it's serious." She answered mealy and Rin gritted her teeth. "They called him 'ox'! Only the inside family know about the curse!" she yelled and Ren stood up, walking to the window. "Isuzu-chan, you should go home…" she took a low tone, and irritated Rin even more. "I won't go home until you tell me what happened! You know who is behind this! Tell me!"

"Isuzu, you won't like it…" she said gently. "Really…You should go home…" Rin was starting to get really furious. "Just tell me!" she said, almost begged. She needed to know so she will avenge Hatsuharu and protect him. "My dear…" Ren shook her head. "You see, Akito learnt about your relation with Hatsuharu and he have been…furious."

Rin eyes widened. What, it was her god who ordered those people to hurt Haru? Because of her. "He said that he couldn't bear the idea of his zodiacs acting that way, so he took measure…I tried to resonate him, but he wouldn't hear."

"That's…Why would Akito do that." Said Isuzu, shocked. "I don't understand…Akito is a capricious god, only thinking about himself…I wish he could learn…" Rin stepped back slowly, she couldn't believe it, she had deceived her god and she felt sick. It was wrong and it was her fault.

"Isuzu, it's not your fault." Said gently Ren, taking her hand between hers. "It's all Akito fault, he is the bad one, you and Hatsuharu just love each other, and he tried to separate you, he is the worst!" she said, wiping a tear that Rin hadn't noticed pouring. "It's all Akito fault…"

"Yes…It's his fault." She repeated, her eyes in the emptiness.

2-KFC Christmas; eating a KFC food is a kind of custom in japan; plus Chritsmas is more a couple celebration than family's.

AAAAH FINALLY SHIGURE KNOW? What's going to happen? We all wonder. (Let's be honest, you all knew it was going to happen by accident haha)
