Rae did as she said she would and moved into the Main estate to do all of Akito's biddings. She still went to school though, and would get to see her friends there everyday. They would constantly ask her why she thought what she had done would help. She believed that inside of everyone there was light, and that she needed to help Akito find the light inside of him. Brooke and Blaze thought that Rae was being an idiot and tried to talk her out of it, but it never worked.
One night Rae was making Akito some tea, and when she brought it in she found him lying down on his bed, as usual. Only this time he asked her to sit with him Rae did as she was told and sat on the edge of his bed.
"What do you think of me Rae?" This question shocked her, considering she didn't know what she thought of him. So she thought about the question for a moment. She thought he was powerful, and dark, but at the same time she thought he was just unloved and lonely. She also thought he was kind of hot, but she couldn't tell him that, nor could she tell him the other things.
"I don't know sir."
"Stop calling me sir." He said as he sat up to drink his tea. "Just call me Akito."
"Yes Akito."
"Now answer the question, and I want an honest answer. I won't hurt you."
"Well Akito, I think you are a very powerful and dark person, and that you take advantage of that power. But I also think you are lonely."
"You think I'm lonely huh?
"Yes. I think that you fear being close to someone. That if you do become close enough that you fear you will hurt them."
"Hmm…" The two sat in silence for a moment and then Akito asked Rae to turn and look at him. She did as she was told. She saw him sitting in his robe, his legs crossed and the cup of tea in his hands. His dark hair fell in his face. He was very attractive, but very mysterious.
"You have been a good servant so far Rae. You don't complain or speak back at me. I like that."
"Thank you."
"But let me ask you something. Why did you volunteer yourself?"
"Because my friends needed to stay at Shigure's house. They have become close with many members of the zodiac, along with Tohru."
"That's not the only reason is it?"
"I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about." Rae said looking down at her hands.
"Look at me! I know why you really decided to stay."
"There is no other reason!" Rae said leaning in a screaming. Akito seemed surprised for a moment that she had screamed back. The he pulled her closer to him. Her face changed and seemed confused.
"Kiss me." He said simply. Rae hesitated, and then did as she was told.
