Tohru stood outside Akito's chamber door, frozen on the spot. Her heart rate was faster than normal, her skin felt unusually warm, and to her horror, she was shaking. In fact, she almost dropped the IV preparation she had in her hand. She had only met Akito a total of 3 times in all the years she'd known the Sohmas. Those three times were enough to leave an impressionable mark on her soul. He was, after all, the man who was the cause for much of Hatori's unhappiness, Yuki's nightmares, Kyou's misery, and many other unhappy events that marred the lives of the Junnishi. However, she had to set aside her own personal prejudice, as he was now her patient and whatever it was he had done in the past was irrelevant at this moment. She took a deep breath, knocked at the door, but received no reply. She knocked again and no answer. She slowly opened the door to the dimly lit room and was startled to see a figure sitting up in the bed staring directly at her .
Tohru could barely make out his features in the dark room, but the feeling of his eyes transfixed on her as she stood at the doorway was one she could feel right through the bones.
"Go..ood morning, Akito-san…I'm here to giv-e" she started before being quickly being interrupted by the young man sitting up in the bed.
"Tohru-kun….the wonderful nurse nightingale Hatori found to dump his responsibilities upon!" he replied sarcastically.
Tohru was determined not to be intimidated by Akito and quickly changed the conversation. "Anou…do you mind if I turn on the some lights or if you prefer open the curtains?"
"Absolutely! The lights are bothersome and if you have such a hard time seeing me, come closer." Akito added dryly.
Tohru slowly approached the bedside with the IV bag in her hands. She was surprised at what she saw when she finally got a better view of Akito. Instead of a frilly, emancipated figure, she got a pale, but well-groomed young man who had what she thought was the saddest pair of dark eyes she'd seen. Up close, he didn't look anything as menacing as when she first entered the room.
"See I don't bite," he smirked as she placed the IV needle into his arm.
After she was done she said, "If you don't need anything else, I'll be heading back to the…" her words were cut off again as she felt a sudden tight grip on her arm.
"Not so fast, you don't leave until I say so," he said in a soft, yet chilling tone.
"Anou…Akito-san?" Tohru protested as she felt the circulation cutting off in her arm.
He loosened the grip, but didn't let go of the arm.
"You know how long it's been since Yuki decided to run off to find himself in the world?" he asked her flatly.
he did not reply.
"So like Tohru-kun, quiet and polite; always aware of her place in the hierarchy of things," he added. "You wouldn't know how much I hated him for leaving me in the first place or how bitter I felt when in the end he didn't return even after he left you," he continued.
Tohru did not expect this and was growing increasingly agitated. "Akito-san I'm sorry about this, but it really has nothing to do with me…" she finally spoke out.
"It has everything to do with you, slut!"
In no time he had completely changed his demeanor.
"If it weren't for you putting those stupid ideas of independence and finding one's purpose in life, bullshit, he would never have had the courage to leave on his own." Akito yelled back at the visibly shaken girl. "Gomen, Tohru-kun, I didn't mean to frighten you like that. You must excuse my ill manners as my sickness tends to make me prone to these unpleasant outbursts."
His free hand then tactfully reached to rest on the young woman's warm cheek. Tohru jumped slightly under the touch, surprised again by this new Akito sitting next to her
"You do understand don't you Tohru-kun?" he said in a soft voice.
Tohru nodded, still struggling to register what she had gotten herself into. However, the surprises for that morning had only begun because soon after he spoke those words. he pulled the startled girl onto the bed.
"Part of your duties includes keeping me company….." he said softly as he took hold of one of her tiny warm, cream-colored hands and placed it to his cheek.
Tohru didn't know whether to scream or run, but in the end, did neither since her brain wasn't functioning as fast she had wished. She instead allowed him to explore her hands with his soft pink lips. Akito's lips wandered over the dorsum of Tohru's hands, trailing hungry, yet soft, kisses down her fingers, devouring the soft flesh with his teeth, nipping as he listened to her unconsciously gasp with pleasure. As if the feeling of his lips against her hands wasn't unbearably exquisite enough, he surprised the young nurse with an abrupt cessation to his hands game.
Tohru opened her eyes visibly flushed and extremely embarrassed.
Akito smirked, "Tohru-kun is cutest when taken by surprised." And with that, he quickly proceeded to claim her ruby red lips with his mouth. His kisses were at first surprisingly soft, but grew increasingly more demanding as he slipped his tongue into her mouth, nipping at her lips. Tohru was too startled and growing increasingly faint from the lack of air in her lungs to push him away. He enjoyed the control he had over his 'care taker' and continued his assault on her mouth. He suddenly pulled away from the girl who was now breathless and several shades of red. The same smirk was back on his face as he proceeded to the next step, placing a soft trail of kisses along her jaw line and eventually finding his way to her neck. The feeling of Akito's rasp breathing against her neck sent shivers up Tohru's spine.
She was in a dazed and confused state. Why was she allowing him to do this to her? But that was just one-half of her brain talking.
Akito's tongue darted against her silky, cream skin, and she felt his fingers glide across her neck and underneath the top of her nurse uniform. The bottoms flew open, one by one, startling her, but her reaction time was to slow. Akito grabbed one of her breasts and before she could protest, he returned his mouth to her lips. He proceeded to knead her breasts, but something in Tohru's mind snapped. This was not right! With some effort, she pushed him aside as she gathered her courage and ran out of the room.
Akito fell back onto his pillow, satisfied for now. She'd be back for his next scheduled dosing.
