"What brings you here, ugly girl!" Akito spat, entering the receiving room. Tohru kneeled on one of the pillows, apparently near tears. For several moments the girl kneeled silently, unable to speak.

"I asked you what you are doing here," Akito shouted picking up a vase and shattering it less than an inch from Tohru "you're not one of my precious Jyuunishi, I don't want to see you. Go away! Leave." Several vases landed around Tohru, most of them shattering but she did not seem to notice. It was not until Akito stalked up to her that Tohru spoke.

"Akito," Tohru murmured softly" I know all about your secret."

Akito halted and paled considerably.Tohru lifted her face to Akito revealing her tears."I..I can't..understand what it's like to go through what you've had to." Tohru rose to her feet and surprised Akito with a tight embrace.

"But you don't have to be alone any more. I can help you, share your pain with me. If you share your pain, maybe you won't have to hurt anymore and everything will be alright..."

Akito fought but was unable to free herself from Tohru's arms. How long had she wanted someone, anyone, to hold her and say what Tohru was saying. Gradually, Akito stopped her struggles and let herself be hugged.

Tohru had lied to come here and silently hoped that she would be forgiven. Akito needed someone to understand the real her, and as long as Akito was head of the family no Sohma could give her what she needed.

So Tohru had told Shigure that she was spending the night at Uo-chan's house. If she had told him the truth, Shigure would not have let her go and certainly not alone; but Tohru could not tell her hosts the reason she needed to see Akito, as it was not her secret to tell. Was it wrong for her to be doing this?

Akito began sobbing, which Tohru felt more than she heard. 'No' she thought tightening her grip on Akito and rubbing circles into her back. 'I'm doing the right thing. See Mom, I'm going to be like you and make everyone happy.'

For once Kyou was in a very good mood and smiled as continued doing his shopping. Shigure and Yuki were called back to the main house and more than likely would wind up the target of Akito's wrath, while he was going to spend the weekend with his Shisho. Tohru was going to spend the weekend with her friends so he wasn't worried about her.

When he had everything he needed, Kyou paid for his things and walked home to meet Kazuma. On the way home, an ominous feeling came over him and Kyou barely caught himself from falling. As he steadied himself on his feet, cats suddenly appeared from around the corners of buildings and the roofs.

'What is going on? Are you alright? Do you know? I'm scared...' Kyou stared dumbly at the cats, listening to their words and wondering what was going on.

Momiji walked alongside Haru back to the main house, oddly silent.

Haru was more distracted nowadays, and Momiji was worried for his cousin. Momiji racked his brains for something to say when it happened.

Haru was thinking about his latest visit with Rin. She had told Haru that as long as the curse remained there was no hope of them being anything, not even friends. Surprisingly, the rejection did not hurt as much as Haru expected and the ushi felt somewhat relived.

This confused him, so Haru had tried to pick a fight with Kyou.

Unfortunately for him Kyou was in an unusually good mood today, probably because all the Jyuunishi had to meet with Akito this weekend while he got to visit his adoptive father, Kazuma, and would not rise to Haru's bait.

Scared, panicked voices filled Momiji's ears as rabbits sprang from the ground to huddle at his feet. Before long, the panic was too much and Momiji vainly fought down tears.

Haru stopped and watched the rabbits curiously, glad they were too far from the nearest farm for there to be a stamped of cows coming around him. Then it became apparent that the phenomenon was too much for Momiji. Haru pulled Momiji away from the rabbits and hurried to the Sohma estate.

When Haru and Momiji arrived at the Sohma estate, they were greeted with chaos. Ayame and Shigure were swarmed by their respective animals, while Yuki was demanding to know what was going on, only to be met with blank stares. No one had any idea what had happened or what was going to happen next.

Outside the Sohma estate, Saki Hanajima seethed in anger. A frightening black aura swirled menacingly over her head. She had seen Akito Sohma, who had struck her dearest Tohru on several previous occasions, had not only kissed her but was hanging over Tohru like a drunken floozy. That sadistic bastard was trying to steal the light of Hanajima's life.

"I won't allow this," Hanajima vowed to herself. "I swear Akito Sohma,

I will make you pay."And with that Hanajima strolled to the bus stop, mentally planning what books had the spells she would need to make Akito suffer.
