OK, so normal disclaimer applies; Kyo remains mine, at heart!
Seeing as I still have no reviews for this story, I'm going to keep on going with it anyways, because I like this one better than A New Day. Well, at least for now, we'll see how things shape up.
Chapter 3
Everyone has arrived at the Banquet in their best attire. Uo and Hana are sticking quite close to Toru as they don't know most of the people here. Uo's dress was not as decadent as Hana's or Toru's but it suited her well. She still thought they stuck out like sore thumbs, because everyone, except for the three girls and Yuki, were all in kimonos. Even Toru noticed this, and began to get a bit self-conscious.
Aya noticed them come in and sprinted over to them to wish them a warm reception and happy New Year. Then music started and he excused himself, but not before telling the girls that their real presents were in another room and for them to follow him. And they went off to a side room waving good bye's to Shigure who was almost panting at the prospect of their new gifts.
When they walked into the room they found themselves face to face with a black haired man who looked even prettier than Yuki. He had behind him three beautiful handmade kimonos and matching obis that seemed to fit the mannequins perfectly.
"Good evening Miss Honda." He kissed her hand. "And these must be your friends." He bowed to both of them.
"So you are Akito?" Asked Hana and sent shivers down the man's back.
"This is a pretty nice joint you got here. I mean it's a pleasure to meet you." stumbled the always graceful-with-words Uo.
"Yes it is, isn't it?" smiled an uncharacteristically happy Akito. "I had my own tailors make these for you since I figured you wouldn't be in proper attire for this evening's banquet." He left the room after that and beckoned Aya to follow him in order to let the girls get ready.
***********
"He's seems pretty young to be the master of this place. What can you tell us about him Toru?" asked Uo eyeing her blue and gold kimono, she figured he had even gotten all the measurements right too.
"Well, I've only spoken with him a few times, but he seems like he means well for the family, but he can get a bit carried away with his temper. Though that doesn't happen as much anymore, he can still be a bit creepy. He only wants to protect his family." Toru told them as much as she knew with out bringing up the curse.
"It seems he is a bit lonely." commented Hana. "I wish to get to know him better; his waves are stronger than the other Soumas we've met."
They decided it was best conduct to finish getting dressed without any further comments about their host and his family, because Hana was sure she felt someone listening to them through the door.
***********
They heard the music get louder as they were finishing up their obis. Toru was now in a buttercup yellow kimono with light green and blue sakura's all around her. Her obi was a matching light blue, which almost matched her eyes. Hana was wearing a purple one with black phoenixes all over it with a black satin obi.
As they opened the door they saw Akito sitting on what looked like a throne surrounded by a great number of different animals, 12 to be exact. All the animals were bowing to the master.
"Welcome ladies to the Zodiac Ball. I'm glad you could make it, but I'm sorry that you had to see this small ritual." Then one by one they regained their human forms.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" shouted Uo.
"Well, that explains nothing." as Hana went headed straight to Akito. You almost saw a nervous look in his face till she got right next to him. "You have so much anger inside you. Let it out. I know what you want." She whispered in Akito's ear as she gave him a hug.
He was petrified. Couldn't move, couldn't speak, he held the girl he just met. 'How can she know this? Why isn't she running away, why can't I tell Hatori to erase her memory?' then is hit like a 20 pound bag of bricks 'She's hugging me! Why did Hatori let her get this close?' As he thought about throwing the girl to the ground, he couldn't find it in himself to hurt her. 'She's a bit creepy, but the feels good.'
"Saki, get away from him now!" shouted Hatori, knowing fully the consequences of her actions, she might not make it out of here alive. 'No one has ever been allowed to touch him! I can't understand why she is still holding onto him.'
Akito looked as though he might cry. He just held onto the girl tighter. "Thank you" was all he could say before she released him from the hug.
Everyone just stared at the two, mouths hung to the floor as they realized that this was probably Akito's first hug. Being a part of the zodiac they realized that they will never be able to be hugged that way by anyone who isn't one of them. Akito was lucky in that respect but not in the fact that this may be his last banquet before he has to die. He was 20 now and his 21st birthday was fast approaching. Only one more year, then they will have to wait for the heir to be born.
