Chapter 8- Akito's Secret Revealed

Almost a whole yea had gone by now, since the whole thing with Akito. Yuki seemed to be almost back to normal in Shigures POV. But now Kyo the one that was acting strange. He would wake up in the morning, get ready for school, eat breakfast, and leave with Tohru and Yuki. And when they came home, he would do what ever he had for school, before he headed up to the roof. And after that no one would seem him until dinner. If even then.

Tohru had a feeling that she new what it was about. He only had two months left to beat Yuki before being lucked away. But he never even took an attempt to beat him anymore. Every day it was the same thing over and over. Tohru was getting sick of not being able to see him. Only in school was the only time she had really seen him. And even then, he was silent. It started to bother her. She wanted to talk to him. I wasn't like Kyo to not talk to her. But lately, he would just shrug her of if she would try to talk to him. It felt like he was trying to get himself away from her. Like he was forcing himself to do this.

Kyo looked up at the sky. It was Saturday morning, and he had just woke up. Tohru had offered him breakfast, but he said he wasn't hungry. Though, he was he just didn't want to be near her anymore. He could stay near her every hour of the day. He had to grow apart from her. Not get closer like he wanted to do. It was hard. He kept himself away from her all the time now. He never thought about fighting Yuki anymore. He new he couldn't beat him. So why would he just keep trying? He regretted ever making that bet with Akito.

He had also noticed the way Yuki had acted ever since every one-not including Kyo and Tohru-were called to the Sohma residents. He had acted strange. Always looking around, and watching out for Tohru. He wouldn't let Tohru go anywhere. Never…

" Yuki you have to stop being so protective over Tohru…" Shigure said.

" Shigure, you remember what Akito said. He had said that Honda-sans memory would have been erased only a week after we left the main house. So why hasn't he tried to erase her memory yet? It just doesn't make sense. I know he is waiting for a right moment. But still, I don't know why Akito was so jealous."

" Yuki, if I were able to tell you something about Akito, would you tell anyone?" Shigure asked, now looking over at Yuki.

" No, why? What it is it?"

" Akito was jealous because he hates other women…"

" So, your trying to say…wait, I'm confused Shigure…"

" Akito is a women Yuki, not a man."

Yuki had gone into shock. He couldn't believe his won ears, but Shigure didn't stop there only kept speaking.

" So that is why Akito is jealous of Tohru. She gets to act just like a women. Look like a women. Live like a women. Every thing a women could do. And then she enters all of ours lives, and look every one is happy. And she is the women who did it."

" But…how did you…know?"

" Well, I used to be in love with Akito…"

" Eh…I heard enough!" Yuki said walking out of Shigures office thing and slamming the door behind him.

Shigure only sighed as he looked over at the wall.

" Honda-san?"

" Hm… oh Yuki-kun, what do you want?" she asked, placing a smile on her face as usual.

" Want to go out later?"

" sure…"

Later on that night, when Yuki and Torhu were going to leave, Kyo had wanted to talk to her. After he heard that Tohru had gone out with Yuki from Shigure he had gone into a little state of anger. Though, he didn't know why. Other then the fact that he was jealous. But tonight was the night that he decided he wanted to tell Tohru how he felt. But now Yuki had taken her out, and was more then likely going to tell her that he to loved her.

Yuki had brought Tohru to a small restaurant for dinner. They were both silent as the food they had ordered was placed on the table. Then, they started to eat, in silence.

" Honda-san?" Yuki asked, finally breaking the awkward silence.

" Hm…?"

" I don't know how to say this…but…Honda-san…you're the best thing that has ever happened to me. And if anything was ever to happen to you…I'm sorry. Really…"

" Yuki-kun, what are you talking about?" she questioned, now becoming confused.

" I mean if anything or anyone were to ever hurt you. I am sorry that I wouldn't be there to help you, or save you…" Yuki looked down at his plate of food.

" Yuki-kun…your scaring me,"

" Never mind, just forget what I said. Just eat, and then we'll get back to Shigure's."

Tohru nodded, but now she didn't want to eat. All she wanted to do was find out what Yuki had been talking about. It didn't make sense to her. If anything happened to her? What could he had been talking about? Confusion showed in her eyes as Yuki looked up at. They stared at each other for a split second before Yuki stood up.

" C'mon, lets get home…" he said as he placed some money down on the table and making her stand to her feet.

As they got to Shigure's place, Yuki stopped Tohru. He looked down at her, as she looked up at him.

Kyo had heard people walking to the house, and when he saw that it was only Yuki and Tohru, he didn't think much of it. But when they stopped, and he heard what Yuki said, he just had to look down from the roof to see what they were doing.

" I have to do this…I'm sorry…" Yuki said before moving closer to Tohru, and gently kissing her on the lips.

Tohru went into a shock. She didn't know what to do, other then stand there. Kyo on the other hand felt his heart brake as he saw Yuki kissing her, and she not pulling away. He quickly stood up and jumped down from the other side of the roof, entering the house from the back door.

Tohru pulled away from Yuki after she finally new what was happening. " I'm sorry…I…I just cant…" she said before running into the house quickly.

She had entered the house at the same time as Kyo. She looked over at him, only to get a dirty look back.

"Kyo-kun…"

" I hope you to find happiness…" he said sadly before he led himself up the stairs. Yuki had walked in, but didn't say anything. Just walked past Tohru and up the stairs as well.

Tohru hadn't moved. She just stood there, now knowing that Kyo had seen. " he must…have been on the roof…" she said to herself, feeling a tear slip down her cheek.

" I didn't want for this to happen. Not with Yuki…" Tohru stood there for a while crying, before she finally dragged herself up the stairs and into her room.

For the next few days, it was like hell to Tohru. Kyo wouldn't talk to her, go near her, nor look at her. She couldn't take it anymore. Yuki had barely even talked to her now. She new Kyo was upset, but couldn't he tell that nothing was going on between Yuki and Tohru. Couldn't he tell that she didn't mind the fact that Yuki had barely even talk to her anymore? It was Kyo she wanted to talk to her now. But he wouldn't.

" So what's up with you and orangey lately?" Uo-chan asked as her, Tohru, and Hana-chan left the school building.

" What do you mean?"

" He doesn't talk much to you anymore Tohru-chan. And I am able to sense annoyance and sadness in his w-"

" Nothing is wrong, really!" Tohru said, cutting Hana off. " I'm sorry but I have to get home…" she said, waving her hand goodbye and running off.

She was once again walking home by herself like she had been doing for the past few days. Ever since the day Yuki had kissed her, every thing went wrong. Now no one ever saw Kyo. They would have thought he was dead by now, but the milk carton wasn't empty every other day. Indicating that Kyo still lived with them, and was alive. But every time Tohru had asked of anyone had seen Kyo, it would be a no. She rarely saw him in school now. But to her surprise, Kyo was walking alone in the woods back to Shigure's house.

He hand known that Tohru was behind him, but didn't care to act like he new. He just wanted to get back to Shigure's so he could go on the roof were he always was now.

" Kyo-kun.." Tohru said lowly, but loud enough for Kyo to hear.

He stopped, not wanting to be rude. But didn't say anything. Only waited for her to speak.

" I'm sorry about the other night with me and Yuki-kun…"

" Why would I care about that!" he yelled.

Tohru flinched at his yelling before speaking again. " I don't know. It just seemed ever since then, you've been avoiding me…"

Kyo turned around, making eye contact with Tohru. " I would never avoid you Tohru…I just…I don't know what's been wrong with me. But I just haven't been myself lately." he walked up to her and looked down. A soft, warming smile crossed his lips. It was the smile that Kyo rarely showed. And when he did show it, Tohru would become so happy.

" So, you don't think that me and Yuki-kun are t-"

Kyo placed his finger over her lips, making her stop. " No, I don't think you to are together… now come on," he said grabbing her hand. " lets get home…"

She smiled as joy overwhelmed her. Kyo was finally talking to her again. But now she just hoped that he wouldn't decided to be all…alone and not around her anymore.

Who am I kidding? Kyo thought, I cant keep myself away from her. It just wont work. I love her to much to stay away for to long…

Kyo thought,

Tohru looked down at Kyo's hand covering hers. She then looked up at Kyo, who looked back at her when noticing her staring at him. He smiled at her, getting a smile back. Then they both looked ahead once again. A few minutes later they had reached Shigure's house. Yuki had been outside talking to Shigure about something. Tohru hadn't been paying attention to this, but Kyo was. And he could faintly here the words "Tohru has to leave…" But that was it.

Yuki looked over at Kyo and Tohru, then down at there hands. Kyo quickly let go of Tohru's when he saw Yuki staring. Kyo gave Yuki a killing look before he and Tohru entered the house.

" How did that damn rat get home before us?"

" Maybe he took a different way…" Tohru suggested, placing her bag down and looking threw it. " How about we do our home work together Kyo-kun…"

Kyo smiled as he sat down across from Tohru, and pulled out his homework as well.

Later on that night when Kyo had gone up to the roof, and Yuki had gone to his room, Tohru just stood there in the kitchen for a few moments. Then, she finally snapped out of her trance and made her way upstairs. Halfway up the stairs, she found herself crying. But why, she didn't know. She closed her bedroom door behind her, and looked around as if someone had been in her room earlier. Her legs started to shack, and eventually gave out, dropping her to the floor. Her hands shook as she brought them to her face and wiped away some tears. But those tears were only replaced by more.

Why…why am I crying? I don't understand. I shouldn't be crying. I was so happy all day. I was with Kyo-kun. So…why am I crying? Tohru looked up when the reason why she was crying snapped into her mind. Its because of him. Because I know what's going to happen to him soon. And that I'm not trying to stop it. I'm just going to let it happen. But… I don't want it to. I want him to be hear with me…forever.

Tohru looked up when the reason why she was crying snapped into her mind.

" I cant take this anymore," Tohru said standing to her feet. " I have to tell him. I cant let him give up now. He has to keep fighting Yuki! He has to win!" Tohru ran out her door and outside to the roof where Kyo was. She looked at the ladder for a split second before climbing up.

Kyo looked over to his side when hearing something coming up the ladder. With much surprise, Tohru had just stood up, tears rolling down her cheeks. This made Kyo shoot up to his feat and run over to her side, looking at.

" Tohru…Tohru what's wrong?"

" Kyo…"
