"What flavor would you like?" He asked.
"Ichigo!" She smiled, brightly. Akito's eyes narrowed once more.
"Two strawberry ice cream cones." He told the ice cream vendor.
"Ne, Akito-san likes strawberries too?" Tohru asked as she found a new fact of the clan head that she had not previously known.
"Of course. Especially when you smell like them." He said.
Chapter 10: Momiji
"Ano Momiji, the amusement park?" Tohru blinked.
"Hai! It's in town!" Momiji beamed. "Can we go, Tohru?"
"It sounds like fun." Tohru agreed. "Let's go!"
"Yay! Tohru!" Momiji cheered. Tohru clapped her hands together and giggled. She turned and gazed with a concern at Akito and Yuki who were having a heavy staring contest. However, Yuki was wavering and Akito looked like he was ready to kill something.
"Akito-san? Daijobu?" She asked as she touched his shoulder, lightly. Akito blinked and turned to the girl standing beside him.
"I'm fine. Thank you." He smiled. Tohru beamed and hurried over to Yuki.
"Yuki-kun?" She asked, concerned. Yuki smiled and inclined his head gently.
"I would love to go with Tohru-kun." He said, winningly. "Haru?"
"Yeah." The cow nodded. "There isn't anything else to do."
"Then it's settled!" Momiji shouted, happily. He grabbed Tohru's hand and ran full speed ahead.
"Matte!" Yuki and Akito yelled at the same time. Akito growled and quickly strolled ahead of the mouse. Yuki slowed his pace and glared at the back of the clan leader's head.
I hate you. He thought as his gaze shifted from Akito to Tohru. I hate how you come between everything that is dear to me. I hope you di-.
"Are you all right?" Hatsuharu asked as he walked next to him. Yuki nodded and kept his gaze focused on Tohru.
Who had he been kidding? He didn't like her. He loved her. He loved how she laughed and how she blushes at every comment. He loved her caring nature and her thoughtfulness. He loved her beautiful smiles. But most of all he loved her for who she was. She was the angel that had rescued him from himself. From Akito. His hand clenched tightly into a fist and he clenched his jaw. It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair that Tohru was showering Akito with affection. It wasn't fair that Akito, the one who had made everyone suffer, was receiving attention from the light in their lives. Why? Why was she being kind to him?
Because she is Tohru. His inner voice whispered soothingly.
"Ah, we're here." Hatsuharu's solemn voice broke into his thoughts and Yuki looked up at the large revolving Ferris wheel.
"Sugoi!" Tohru exclaimed. Momiji nodded with excitement and ran ahead of them.
"Ouji!" Yuki turned along with Hatsuharu to recognize the pair that was walking toward them. The taller girl with blonde hair wearing a leather jacket with the red butterfly emblem on the back and a loose shirt with dark pants raised her hand in a salute. Next to her, the other girl with dark curly hair and mysterious dark eyes smiled at him.
"Uo-san. Saki-san." He greeted them warmly.
"So, the prince takes the time to have a little fun after all." Uotani Arisa grinned. "Where are Tohru and the Carrot-top?"
"Your aura seems a little concealed today." Hanajima said, bluntly. Arisa raised an eyebrow at Yuki in confusion.
"Tohru is over there." He said as he shifted his gaze to the Ferris Wheel.
"A dark aura resides beside her." Hana murmured as she walked in that direction.
"Tohru will sit by me in every ride, ne Tohru?" Momiji stated, happily.
"Ano-" Tohru laughed.
"Tohru-san, will sit by me." Akito's smooth voice sliced into the happiness and Momiji turned somber as Akito took Tohru's hand.
"Tohru." Akito turned to see a girl with dark hair and dark eyes standing in front of him.
"Hana-chan!" Tohru greeted her, enthusiastically.
"Arisa and I just saw Ouji. Why aren't you next to him?" Hana asked, softly.
"Ano---Momiji wanted me to ride with him…" Tohru blinked.
"Is that so?" Hana stated. She turned her emotionless eyes to the clan head and cocked her head to the side. "Your aura is weak."
"You dare—" Akito began.
"I wouldn't dare." Hana interrupted in a smooth chilling tone.
"Akito-san, this is one of my best friends Hana-chan." Tohru introduced.
"Akito-san, is it?" Hana repeated.
"You walk to fast Hana!" A new voice called out. Akito turned to see Yuki and Hatsuharu walking with another girl toward them.
"A Yankee?" He whispered in astonishment.
"Arisa has very good hearing." Hana commented from beside him. He jumped slightly and glared at her as she past him.
"Uo-chan came too?" Tohru beamed. "Uo-chan this is Akito-san."
"Another cousin?" Arisa asked.
"Iie. I am the head of the family but perhaps also a cousin." He said as he gazed at Yuki. Yuki shivered and looked away.
"Head? I expected someone older." Uo responded. She turned and Akito's eyes widened at the butterfly emblem on her back.
"Red butterfly?" He gaped as he stared at the jacket.
"Baka." The boy stared down at the other boy with an amused smile on his face. "Don't ever go near her. She's mine."
"You remind me of the stupid mouse." The boy replied, angrily. He cried out when a fist landed on his face and he flew back.
"You could get locked up, for that." Akito warned as he crossed his arms and angrily stood in front of the fallen boy. "Why did you refer me to Yuki?" Kyou smirked as he wiped his bloody lip with his sleeve.
"Yuki and Tohru have met again." He replied as he stared up at the older boy. Akito's eyes widened and he kicked Kyou in the stomach over and over again.
"Liar! Liar!" Akito raged.
"Kyou!" Someone pushed him roughly away. When he regained his balance he stared up into intense green eyes.
"What were you doing?" She asked, softly.
"None of your business!" He yelled as he swung his hand up. Her hand was quicker though and his head snapped to the side from her slap. He covered his flaming cheek in anger and confusion. All the Soumas in the family allowed him to rage and hit them. But this woman did not. This woman was not in the family. "How dare you, onna. You trespass on the Souma property and dare raise a hand on me?"
"Think about it before you hit someone again." She replied as she stood up. A breeze ruffled her strawberry blonde hair as she turned to the girl standing next to her. "Come on, your mother is waiting." The girl with black eyes and jet-black hair stared at him before placing her hand in the woman's. They left along with Hatsuharu who was helping Kyou to stand.
"Okaasan! Matte yo!" A cheerful voice called out. His eyes widened as he saw the laughing girl run across the courtyard toward the woman. Next to her was Yuki who was smiling as he ran alongside her.
The red butterfly. The red butterfly was on the back of the woman's black jacket.
"You are all against me!" He yelled. But neither of them responded to this outburst. They continued walking as if he wasn't there.
"Akito-san?" Tohru's concerned voice broke into his trance and Akito blinked. "That jacket was my mother's. She past away a year ago."
"A year ago?" He repeated.
"I want her killed." He smiled as he stood up. "That pestering woman will pay for the slap she gave me those years ago."
"Hai." The bowing men replied.
"A car accident will do well. Get rid of her."
"Car accident." Akito murmured.
"Hai. She passed away from severe injuries." Tohru told him.
"It has been done, sir." The man said as he knelt respectfully before him. "What should we do with the girl?"
"The girl?" He turned slightly as a white bird landed on his outstretched finger.
"Hai, her daughter."
"Leave her, I don't believe she will be a nuisance."
"Akito-san, would you like to sit down?" Tohru asked as she guided him to a bench. "You look a little pale." He looked up slowly and met her frightened blue eyes. She didn't have her mother's features but more of her father's, which was why he didn't notice her at first. She had been that girl who followed Yuki home. She had been the girl that had been haunting his nightmares.
What an interesting twist! BWAHAHAHAHA! I hope you guys liked it…I think Tohru's grandpa is her father's dad..not her mother's? Well anyways its my FIC!
