Chapter 2: Visiting with Akito
A/N-I'd just like to thank all of my wonderful reviewers. You guys are all awsome!
The day after Kyoko appeared, Tohru woke up early as always to prepare breakfast. She softly hummed a song as she cooked. Before long, breakfast was ready. Shortly after, the Sohma's and Kyoko came downstairs. Kyoko was shocked that her daughter made breakfast, "You made breakfast? You should have woken me up to do it."
"It's no trouble. I've been cooking every meal since you were gone. Those three couldn't cook if their lives depended on it," Tohru insisted.
Kyo interrupted, "Hey! I can cook. I just choose not too."
Shigure laughed, "It's just because you like Tohru's food."
The five of them ate breakfast without much talking. After eating, the three highschoolers had to go to school. Tohru was sad to have to leave her mom, but smiled and promised to come back right after school got out.
At school, Tohru quickly found Uo and Hana to tell them the good news, "Uo, Hana, guess what! Mom's back!"
Uo asked, "What?"
Hana told her, "Tohru, this is no time to play games."
Tohru explained, "No, really, Mom's back. She was just in a coma for all this time."
"But she was dead. We went to her grave and everything. But I don't think you'd lie to us, Tohru. Wow, the Red Butterfly has returned," Uo said.
"This is wonderful," Hana said.
Tohru suddenly remembered Hatsaharu and Momiji, "Oh, no! I have to go tell Haru and Momiji!"
She went of looking for the two younger boys. She easily found them because of Haru's hair and Momiji's girl uniform. Tohru ran up to them and smiled, "Haru, Momiji, guess what. My mother is alive!"
"Really, that's nice," Haru said, obviously as White Haru.
Momiji jumped up and down and would have hugged Tohru if Haru hadn't held him back, "Yay! I want to meet Tohru's mom!"
"Sure," Tohru said happily.
To Tohru, class seemed to take eons to finally get out. Momiji followed the three older kids home, in hopes of meeting Tohru's mother. The rabbit was the only one who seemed to notice that Hatori's car was there. Yuki and Kyo were to busy fighting and Tohru was sort of fazing out as always.
The three were brought back to reality when Momiji said, "Ha'ri's here!"
"What? Why'd he be here?" Kyo asked.
They all feared the worst for Kyoko's memories, so they ran into Shigure's house. Tohru called out, "We're home! Momiji came over!"
Shigure pranced in, "Ha'ri came over, too."
"Hello," said the always stoic seahorse also entering the room.
Kyoko followed the two in, "Hello, Tohru, everyone. Hatori is here so that he can give us a ride to the Sohma main house. Tohru, we need to see Akito."
Yuki and Kyo instantly refused. Yuki said, "No way!"
Kyo said, "If you wanna write your own death wish, go ahead, but don't drag Tohru along!"
"Everything'll be fine, I'm sure," Kyoko tried to assure them.
Hatori grew impatient, "I need to get back, so are you coming or not?"
"Of course!" Kyoko said.
Tohru was more hesitant, "I guess so."
Everyone but Kyoko's thoughts were on Tohru's last visit to the main house to see Akito. Kyo and Yuki were exceptionally weary of Akito since them, especially when it had to do with Tohru.
Soon, both Honda's were in Hatori's car, riding toward the main house. Hatori and Kyoko were both extremely quiet. Tohru found in unnerving. She gazed out the window, watching trees, pedestrians, and houses whiz by, squirming in her seat at thoughts of what could possibly happen next.
Tohru's mouth grew dry as the walked into the center section of the main house, where Akito lives.
She felt clammy as Hatori's hand rapped on Akito's door.
All thoughts dissolved from her head when Akito's voice crept through the air, "Come in…"
Hatori opened the door and Kyoko entered. Tohru entered after her mother. The two bowed respectfully to Akito. First, Akito addressed Tohru, "So, you dare to return. Without Yuki and Kyo, no less. You are more of a fool than I remember."
Kyoko burst out, "Don't mock my daughter!"
Akito lazily turned his gaze to Kyoko, "And who might you be?"
By this time, Kyoko had stopped bowing. She had stood up and strode toward Akito, "You mean to say that you do not remember me?"
She bent down to whisper something into his ear. For once in his life, Akito showed shock. After a few minutes he whispered something so quietly that Tohru and Kyoko barely heard, "No, you… you can't be. I thought you were dead… Kyoko."
Much to Tohru's amazement, Akito smiled. It wasn't an evil smile or a smirk, but a true smile. He was actually happy. Akito then proceeded to be more shocking. Still smiling, he wrapped his arms around Kyoko in a hug. Tohru didn't know what to do. Akito hugging someone is what everyone considered the end of the world, or at least Akito's sanity.
Exasperated, Kyoko shoved him off after a moment, "You said that you thought I died? Ha! I simply left, started another life, and became a single mother. If I remember correctly, you were pretty cold fifteen years ago. I left because you are a jerk."
He replied, "If you were anyone but you, I would be mad right now. No one dares call me a jerk."
"Well, you are."
"That's beside the point."
Tohru had spent most of this time in shock. She carefully stood, "Akito-sama? Mom? Have you both gone insane?"
"I am not insane!" Akito screeched.
"No, Tohru, dear, I'm perfectly fine," Kyoko assured her.
Tohru asked, "Um… is everything all right?"
"Yes," the other two said.
"Uh, what's going on?"
Kyoko chuckled self-consciously, "Well, Tohru, how do I say this? Akito was my fiancé shortly before you were born. We never got married, though. He was really mean," at this she glares at Akito, "and I left before I could tell him that I was… pregnant with you."
Akito asked, "You were pregnant, with Tohru?"
Kyoko smiled innocently, "Yeah. Tohru, Akito is your father. Akito, Tohru is your daughter."
A/N-Mua ha ha! I'm one of those evil writers who leave cliffhangers. Sorry. It's getting late and I have to go to school. I don't have time to write more. I promise to write chapter 3 soon, though. And I think I made Akito older than he really is. Does any one know how old he is at the end of the anime?
