Chapter III
Dear Akito-san,
I was so very happy to receive that last letter from you. I can't wait to graduate so that I can come home. I wish I could go back this New Year with Kyo to enjoy the celebrations, but you know as well as I do that I can't miss school to be there.
I have decided to accept your offer to become the private teacher for the Sohma family. That is, if the offer is still there. I do hope it is.
My finals this past term went very well. In fact, I passed all my classes with flying colors. I have enclosed a copy of my final grades.
I do miss you all very much, and I hope to hear from you again very soon. Oh, to answer the question in your last letter, yes. If you wish to choose a person for me to be betrothed to, I will gladly accept him. I have been accepted into your family, and I will fully accept the decisions your make for my well being.
Gratefully,
Tohru Honda
PS. I just received a letter from Yuki-kun telling me that he wanted to visit me this summer. I know that he probably won't say anything to you until after he hears from me. If you do not want him to visit me, then I will make some excuse. I do miss him though, and I would truly enjoy getting the chance to see him, even if only for a short time. Please let me know your decision as soon as possible. I don't want Yuki-kun to think that I am avoiding his request.
'So, Yuki wants to go see his beloved Tohru. Perhaps I'll allow it.' A cruel smile graced the lips of the Sohma clan leader at this thought. 'She will surely tell him that she has been betrothed. Oh the perverted irony of it all, Yuki. Just when you think you can wrench yourself from my iron- fisted grasp, you'll be slapped in the face, again, with the harsh cold reality of what it means, exactly, to be a Sohma.'
"It's too perfect." Only the slightest hint of amusement could be heard in the tone of Akito's voice as he expressed his opinion to his non-existent audience. 'I will show him that my authority is above all other's where this family is concerned.'
Dear Honda-kun,
I was pleased to hear from you as usual. I was far more pleased though, to hear that you have accepted my decision to choose a husband for you from within the Sohma clan. I realize that you cannot be here for this New Year's celebration. School is important, particularly if I am going to allow you to become the Sohma family sensei.
Despite this, I do implore to you the importance of you attending the next year's New Year's celebration. I realize that you will miss some school because of this, however I will announce your betrothal at that time. I'm sure that you do not wish to miss meeting the man that will be eternally bound to.
As far as Yuki is concerned, I will allow him to visit you for two weeks during his and your summer break. I will leave it to you to make the arrangements. My only request is that when he wants to take you somewhere nice for dinner, take him to a restaurant that is as close to traditional as possible. I want it to remind him of home, where he belongs.
Take care,
Akito Sohma
