Chapter 13: Akito's intentions

When Kyo came in to the kitchen he heard Tohru hum a song. Not that it was horrible for her to sing! She had a great voice, just the way it should fit her. Tohru was to self-absorbed that she didn't hear Kyo come in, so she started to sing,

" Kimi o kimi o aishiteru,

Kokoro de mitsumete iru,

Kimi o kimi o shinjiteru,

Samaui yoru mo.." (A/N: This is a song from which one was it..ah! Escaflowne, but I forgot the title...)

' A love song?' Kyo thought, ' Well it's the type of song she'd sing anyway..Unlike that stupid annoying song Momiji sang in the hot springs!!'

"Ah!! Kyo!!" Tohru yelled out, she was blushing like mad. But, for Kyo she looked...cute(A/N: Kyo say cute...hmm...is that OOC?) he didn't deny it..not anymore.

" I-I didn't see you so I was just kind of.."

" You've got nothing to be embarassed about...anyway you sound great." He said and threw her a his rare smile, making Tohru blush even deeper.

--*--



Yuki was by the door, ' What was *he* doing with Tohru? Why is she blushing like that?' he thought. He walked into the kitchen, purposely (A/N: Ish my spelling right?? I'm kind of slow today..or stupid..) interrupting.

" Good morning, Honda-san," He said.

" Eh? G-good morning Yuki!" She said with a smile.

Yuki glared at Kyo, " I hope I wasn't disturbing."

" Iie, I was just preparing breakfast...now I'll just go umm get ready for school." With that Tohru walked out. ' Did I just feel the tension there?! That was really awkward..somehow..I mean ever since yesterday me and Yuki are getting along like we always do now! And that makes me so happy!' She thought forgetting all about the tension in the kitchen.

--*--



The two boys went about their business in the kitchen, Kyo drinking milk, and Yuki looking for food then suddenly realizing that the food was prepared on the table already. Yuki was about to leave when Kyo said,

" You did that intentionally."

He stopped and tilted his head a bit, " So what if I did?" he retorted.

" It just proves that you're jealous."

" Jealous? Me? Of you?" Yuki said, sounding sarcastic..but he was jealous of Kyo. Not just because he can get along with others pretty easily, he was also jealous because he aslo gets along well with Tohru.

" Yeah, because of Tohru..she'll never like you. I mean you're so cold--you've never really shown her who you are. You've never really let go of that exterior of yours." Kyo said gulping down the milk.

' Sometimes he has a point...for a moron.' Yuki thought. He smirked, " So have you. You've never really shown yourself to her either. All that rough and rude remarks--is that your way of getting close someone? Saying piss off? Yeah what a great way to get to know someone."

Kyo only looked at him, " Then that makes the two of us. But I'm not letting her near you--you and your stupid secrets are only gonna hurt her." He then walked out, living a half empty carton of milk.

--*--

' I don't understand..why did she even forgive that bastard? I mean that damn Yuki practically ignored her for a month until yesterday! He was going to do something--sneaky bastard!' Kyo thought walking with Tohru...and Yuki. ' Damnit! Why does he gotta be here?!'

Tohru smiled, " Nice weather right?"

" Yeah." Kyo replied.

' Baka-neko. So what if he noticed? But how would he? Not unless he..well he was defensive..so Kyo also loves her. Nothing new, I somehow knew. I could always see it--he always act differently around her. Specially yesterday..stupid cat! I was so close on telling her how I felt!' Yuki thought, 'Damn, why does he always have to be around?'

" Oh were here." Tohru said.

" So we are." Yuki said smiling at Tohru which, he was glad, she returned with a smile, too.

' For now..all I can do is win her over him.' Both boys thought.

--*--



(Inside the main house)

" So tell me Shigure..How are Yuki and Kyo?" Akito asked. A trick question. If he(A/N: This is Shigure!) answers that they're recovering from their mental and emotional abuses--Akito would make sure that they would never recover. But...Shigure thought that Akito..would've understood atleast..leave them alone..after they had seen him with Tohru. It looked like he was touched by what Tohru said.

" Fine." Shigure replied.

" ...What about Tohru Honda? Is she well?" He asked.



' What do you want know Akito?' Shigure thought. " She's doing fine, too."

"..Tell me it's about time that those two would be realizing that they are in love.." Akito said, " Oh please Shigure! Don't look suprised. Haven't you seen it? You who lives with them? *chuckle chuckle* I mean no harm...for the time being..But if Honda-san chooses...don't you think it would hurt her and whom ever she didn't choose? Or maybe both..if she can't bare to hurt her precious friends. This time it wouldn't be my doing..but hers. I warned you all."

Shigure sighed, " Yes it may seem at that."

Silence.

' That stupid girl. She came in here...I expected her to come to tell me she wanted to live with Shigure and the others. But what I didn't expect is that she would cry for me. She pitied me. Telling me that she wanted to know how I felt, the heartless Akito Sohma. No one asked me for this...and I only do what I do for those pathetic animals. I just sit here watch my life pass by me everyday...But she reminded me that I'm still alive. I'm still breathing. And this is the least I could do..I will allow her to love my cousins..not just Yuki and Kyo..but all of them. I admit I felt sorry for her..her mother died, her only family..but she manages to be genki all the time...this I can do.' Akito thought.

--*--



" I...I love you.

I'm gazing at you with my heart.

I...I believe in you,

Even in the coldest night."
