===============================================================

The part of the park were they now were was vacant of anyone else. Tohru was unsure of what Akito planned to do. He suddenly stopped, causing her to bump into him. He turned around gracefully, grabbing her wrist. He brought it up to his lips, which had unfolded into a cruel smile, and kissed the pale skin.

Tohru had a forced blush to his actions. He wrapped his free arm around her waist forcing her into a type of embrace. His face was a short distance away from her own. Akito forced her in closer to him.



"The others cannot hold you as I do so."He smiled to her. "They will never know such an embrace."

As he finished his sentence he forcefully crushed his mouth onto hers. He forced his tongue past her lips and into her mouth. Tohru let out noises of resistence from his sudden actions. He was holding her so tightly she could not force him back.

His hand slipped under her skirt and felt along the areas he was never ment to feel. Without thinking, Tohru immediately grabbed Akito's wrist, her eyes snapping open. She pulled back, her eye's wide. Akito's face twisted into a mask of silent rage but slowly faded into a cruel smile.

"What is this, Honda-san?" the Head asked, mockery behind his words. "The touch of a man is frightening?"

He laughed to himself. "Having lived in a house full of men I assumed you would be less...scared." He looked over at Tohru who had distanced herself from him. Tohru blinked, confusion coming to her eyes. "Less....scared?" she asked, not fully grasping what Akito meant.

Akito came towards her and grabbed her by her wrist. She didn't know what he was going to do next, but all he did was drag her across the park to the downtown area. She recognized a familiar store, Ayame's.

They walked around the many people upon the sidewalks. It was a busy day in this district. There was no one inside when Akito and Tohru entered. He still held her wrist tightly in his hand. Tohru heard some rustling in the back room, to her relief Ayame appeared with a smile on his face.

"Akito-san! Tohru-chan!" the snake called out happily, running to their side. He was wearing one of his bizzare , custom made dresses. It looked like a reject from 'Gone With the Wind'. A bright pink with frilly sleeves and cuffs, hugging the waist tightly and a long slit down the front, revealing the paleness of his chest. He donned pink stockings, matching with the pink of his pumps. Miine was behind him, smiling brightly, creative ideas of what to place Tohru in coming to swarm her mind.

Akito had an immensly odd look on his face. He had known of Ayame's odd designs. Having it coming flying toward him in its pink wondress unsettled even the likes of himself. Ayame was beeming at them, he quickly excused himself to change into his normal clothes. Miine brought the two into the back room where Tohru had been once before when she was here with Yuki.

Miine left to get some tea, leaving Akito and Tohru alone. Tohru sat up unusually straight, her whole body tense.

"A-Ayame-san sure is creative...." Tohru said, trying to start some small talk. The silence was unnerving and she longed to hear some other noise besides the low, constant hum of the AC.

Akito was saying absolutly nothing to her. Tohru cautiously looked at him, he did not turn in her direction. Tohru made the sudden realization of how much Akito looked like Yuki at this position. It gave her an odd feeling inside.

Gratefully, Ayame came in with Miine behind him with the tea. She quickly came and prepared tea for them. The phone rang signalling Miines leave. Ayame sat down across from Akito, who was now sitting back with his arms crossed. Ayame himself was not in his usual hyper look now, his face was completely serious.

"You still desire the order you put in?" Ayame asked Akito as he took up his own cup of tea.



Akito nodded his head slowly, that same cold smile forming on his lips.

"Hai" he said, looking at Tohru. Tohru blinked.

Ayame smiled brightly, clapping his hands together in a giddy way.

"Tooohru-chan will look lovely in it!" the golden eyed man said, studying Tohru's body. His gaze made the blood creep up and settled under her cheeks.

"Though I still need to get the final measurements before I can begin making it."

Ayame placed his cup down and Miine came in. She was carrying a measuring tape and a small notepad and pen. Ayame stood up and took the things from Miine. "If you don't mind Tohru I'd like to get the measurements now while you're here. It will take about 20 minutes or so because it is such a custom order. Akito-san, if you don't feel like sitting around-"

Akito stood up. "I had planned on you doing this today Ayame, I have other things to attend anyways. When I come back you will be done."

The snake nodded as Miine ushered Akito out of the store, bidding him to have a good day. Ayame turned his eyes to Tohru, who was still on the couch, waiting nervously. Ayame stood a short distance away not moving but his eyes. His eyes followed the sound of the bell indicating Akito's leave. His face softened as he directed his gaze to her.

"Are you being treated alright Tohru-kun?"He simply asked. Tohru was slightly caught off by the question, but she answered it. "I'm...alright Ayame-san." She quietly said.

He smiled at her. He knew she may have said to be fine, but he could read that she was not so.

"To-hru-chan~!" a perky voice cried, coming to kneel in front of the girl and ruining the moment of seriousness.

"M-Miine-san!" Tohru yelped, looking at the girl on her knees.

"Tohru-chan! Miine will need to take your measurements now! You've grown more busty since we have last see you!" Miine said happily, whipping out a tape measure from nowhere. Ayame had suddenly gotten into the mood too."There will be intimate adornations of lace upon it! The frills and ribbons shall engourge the on looker!"

Tohru was basically stunned by the frantic and upbeat duo that Miine and Ayame was. The minutes passed by fast and soon she found herself wearing just the base of what was to be her dress. She still did not know what it was to be for however.

The bell gave a slight ring indicating Akito's return. She saw his reflection in the mirror and noticed he was carrying a package. She tried to turn her head to see more of him but mine quickly placed it back. "We are almost finished with the neckline Miss Tohru-san, please don't move for a few more minutes." Miine said as she placed darts into the dress.

Akito looked on with slight interest. He knew what the final outcome of the dress was to be. He had to smile to himself on how the looks of Yuki and Kyou would be to it. He was dressing up the doll they could never touch.

"Finished Honda-san!" Ayame said. Miine helped her down from the stool and directed her to the changeroom to help her out of the dress. Akito stared at the door in which Tohru had been lead to.

"How is it on her?" he asked, his soft voice covering the room. Ayame smiled brightly, nodding his head."You will not be disappointed, Akito-san."

"I would expect nothing less of you Ayame, especially with our little bargin. It should be a real look taker."

Tohru finally came out in her school uniform once again. Miine was holding the dress pattern over her arm carefully. "It should be completed by the end of the week Akito-san." Miine said. He nodded to her, and she went into the backroom to put it away.

Ayame said good-bye to the two, he managed to slip a short message into Tohru's pocket. However Tohru never managed to ever read the message, and with her lost chance to read its contents, was lost a plan to give her more communication with Kyou and Yuki.

==============================================================

It took about 15 minutes for Akito to drive back to the main compound. They had recieved a few odd looks as they left Ayame's shop. After ignoring the rude stares they continued across the park to the car.

As they walked into the house Akito handed her the package he had carried. "Change into this please." She took the package into her hands and looked down at it. Before she could say 'Thank you' or anything Akito had walked away and left her alone in the hall. Tohru stood there a moment, then preceeded towards her room.

* * * *

"You have the paperwork all ready?" Akito asked into the phone. "No, I will get it myself, this will be completed within the next few weeks. She will give full consent." Akito then hung up the reciever and went to his room. Kureno was waiting in there for him.

"Is it all planned and done?" He quietly asked. Akito stood in front of Kureno smiling with the ends of his lips twisted as his eyes. "She will be more mine then they thought."
