Ch. 5

A Run for his Money

Ahiro left with Hatori to go to the main house. When they arrived Ahiro looked around and remembered vaguely of this place. One man stuck in her mind..Akito. She remembered him 'the no one can mess with me because I'm the head guy' man. Hatori motioned for her to enter the place where cats were forbidden.

"Hatori, may I ask how you got me permitted in here?" Ahiro quietly asked.

"Let's say I pulled a few strings and Akito was so desperate to have someone that he would've said yes to Kyo." Hatori said.

She smiled; Hatori never ceased to amaze her. They walked through the beautiful gardens and into the hallways. As she walked by she bumped into someone. She looked forward to see a boy with black and white hair.

"Ahiro, this is Hatsuharu Sohma." Hatori said.

"The cow, I presume." She said.

Haru nodded his head. "Haru, this is Ahiro. Shigure's sister; she's the cat."

"Pleasure, you're hear to watch Kisa, Hiro, and Momygi aren't you?" Haru asked.

"Yes, I am delighted to." She gracefully replied.

"The cat huh? How did you Akito to go for it?" Haru asked.

"Long story," Hatori replied.

Haru nodded his head and kept walking.

"He seems pleasant." Ahiro said.

"Well you met him in white." Hatori stated.

"White?" she asked.

"Yes, since Haru is the cow. He has black and white sides. Like good and evil. When you make him angry or frustrated he goes black. In order to bring white back you have to hit him hard. When white awakens he doesn't recall anything he did in black. He is very chaotic and seductive in black. In white he is calm and caring." Hatori explained.

"Oh I see." Ahiro said.

As they walked along they heard the sounds of footsteps. Ahiro looked down the hall and saw a tall slender man with raven hair walking towards them.

"He is?" she asked.

"Akito." Hatori worriedly said.

Ahiro became uncomfortably silent.

"Hatori, is this her?" he asked.

Hatori bowed and nodded.

"Let me speak to her." Akito said.

"Akito, shouldn't she go meet the children?" Hatori asked.

"They can wait. For now I wish to speak with her." Akito firmly replied.

"Alright," Hatori gave in.

Ahiro bowed.

"Come with me." Akito charmingly replied.

'He doesn't seem like such a bastard anymore. You've got to remember though. He is the deceiver of deceivers.' She thought as Akito led her to his quarters. Akito opened the door and stepped in. She followed. Akito shut the door.

"Come, tell me about yourself." Akito asked.

"Okay," she sat down on a mat in the center of the wooden floor. "My name is Ahiro Sohma, I'm the cat. I also am Shigure's sister. I came from London and I love little children."

"Hmm..the cat. You're not going to babysit them." He bluntly stated.

"And why not?" she asked.

"Are you questioning my judgement?" he asked.

"Yes" she firmly replied.

"How dare you!"

Akito grabbed a fist full of hair and threw her against the wall.

"You think your anger makes everybody fear you. Every one but me." She replied.

She leapt up and tackled him. He rolled on top of her and slapped her across the face. "You wench!"

"You keep thinking you can over power everybody because you're 'the man'. Let me give you a reality check. Your not overpowering anybody on my chart." She yelled.

"Well looks like you'll have to be reeducated!" he replied.

"Oh yeah! You think beating me to death will do it! It wont you're nothing! You have no power with me! I will not obey you!"

That threw Akito over the edge. He tackled her and just kept hitting her mercilessly. Suddenly the door slid open. Haru ran in and grabbed Akito. Akito hit him in the stomach causing Haru to go black.

"You bastard!"

Haru grabbed Akito and punched him hard. That's when Hatori ran in and got Ahiro out of there. Blood dripped from her lips. It fell to the ground the sound could not be heard from all the rustling Akito was doing.

"Ahiro, are you alright?" Hatori asked.

"I'm fine, that bastard." She replied.

"You sure do have a wild side." Haru said coming out with a bloody nose.

"You good?" Hatori asked referring to black or white.

"Yeah fine." He replied.

Hatori sighed with relief.

"Damn, you sure did piss him off." Haru stated.

"I answer to no one." She replied.

"Now, were talking. You're giving Akito a run for his money. NICE!" Haru said.

She smiled at his enthusiasm.

Shigure's House

Tohru scrubbed the dirty dishes from their dinner. As she stood there the door slid open. Kyo walked in. He was in his sweatshirt and was in all black.

"Kyo, please don't do this." Tohru pleaded.

"Do what?" Kyo said playing dumb.

"Go see Akito." She replied.

"Tohru what he did to you was unacceptable! He deserves to get killed or beaten! He's such a bastard and he's going to pay by my hand!" Kyo yelled.

"Kyo, I don't want to see you or Hana, Uo, or Megumi hurt. "Tohru pleaded.

"But Toh-

Tohru placed her hand over Kyo's mouth and shook her head. Kyo sighed and helped her with the dishes.

'One day Akito, I swear you will pay.' Kyo thought clenching the rag in his hand. Tohru saw this and placed her hand over his. He slightly smiled and got back to the dishes.

Main House

Just Ahiro's luck her room was across from Akito's. She lay on her bed waiting for Hatori to bring in the children. The door slid open and three children stood. One blonde with a blue hat, one chocolate haired boy, and one sandy blonde.

"Ahiro, this is Momygi Sohma." He said referring to the blonde with the hat. "Hiro Sohma" he said referring to the chocolate haired boy. "And Kisa Sohma." He said referring to the sandy blonde.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Momygi said.

Momygi was a boy in a girl's clothing Ahiro was surprised a little.

"Whatever just leave me alone." Hiro said.

Hatori nudged Hiro's shoulder.

"Hi," Kisa said shyly.

Ahiro smiled at them all. She couldn't help it any longer. She ran up and hugged them all. Momygi and Kisa smiled and Hiro frowned.

Meanwhile in Akito's room. Akito sat on his bed. 'Why, why isn't she afraid of me. She's got spunk; I'll give her that. What is it about her?' Akito thought.
