Nariko didn't waste any time. She was flying at me before you could say Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious. I dodged her easily and grabbed her leg and threw her into the ground. She flew back up in rage. For the next 20 min it was pretty intense. We traded blow for blow, kick for kick but I couldn't get the advantage. I soon realized why. Scanning Nariko I found she'd installed a new energy pack. This one it seems didn't need to be charged. In order to kill Nariko I would have to be at least 50 times stronger than her. 50 times! I kicked Nariko hard and sent her flying into a tree.
Before I could scream to anyone about Dr. Geisha's gift a searing pain passed through my skull. The scream I managed to let out was full of raw pain and anguish. I dropped to the ground and dug my fingers into it. I blacked out.
The next time I opened my eyes the first thing I noticed was Hatori taking my pulse. I let out a tiny groan and realized I was in the house on the…where was I? He smiled slightly when he saw that I was awake. "Your up." I rolled my eyes. " Really? I thought I was still sleeping." He frowned. "And you still act like a female Shigure." I punched his arm softly. "You dork! How could you compare me to that imbecile? By the way…where are we?"
Standing he said, "Your in my house. Get dressed. Akito-san wishes to meet you." I frowned. "Gosh Hatori, is that any way to treat a girl?" "Yes Hatori. How can you treat a girl so shamefully? Forgive him my dear, he knows not what he does." Before I could move an adult Yuki was standing before me and gracefully kissing my hand. I blushed. "Ummm…hi?" he grinned broadly. "Ah yes! I see I've rendered you speechless. There are only three people other than myself that would come to visit their best friends ailing girlfriends."
"He/She is NOT my girlfriend/boyfriend!" Hatori and I growled out the words at the same time. Hatori shot me a look before saying, "Ayame, I think Yuki was going to go to a store and find a book about costumes. Perhaps you could help him." Ayame Sohma was out of there faster than a speeding bullet. Hatori gave a sigh of relief. " Get changed please. Akito-san does not liked to be kept waiting." He left the room allowing me to get ready to meet his precious Akito.
About 20 minutes later I was seated cutely in front of the head of the Sohma family. I giggled as he insisted that he pour tea for me. "Is that enough? Are you hungry?" I smiled and gave a half bow. "Akito-san, you are very kind. I'm glad I got the chance to meet you." He smiled charmingly, "thank you Kawana-san but I've asked to see you because I've heard that you know the Sohma secret." I nodded and I felt the conversation take a drastic turn.
"You see, I'm not a very trusting person. And right now the person I don't trust is you." The coldness in his voice made me shiver. I managed to say, "Oh really? Why is that?" his eyes hardened. "You're pretty that's why. And I'm afraid that I'm selective about who knows the family secret. I'm afraid you didn't make the cut." I frowned and said, "Well it's too late now, don't you think?" he stood and coughed. "It's never to late. Hatori!" the door opened and Hatori walked in limping.
Hatori had been limping earlier but I hadn't paid much attention. I now noticed and saw a bruise on the side of his neck. I started slightly and noticed the look of utmost sadness on his face. I stood quickly and felt my heart race. I managed to stutter out, "W-what's going o-o-o-on? Where are Tohru and Hitachii? What's going on Hatori!" Akito smiled gently but his eyes were anything but. "Hatori, Hatori, Hatori! Is he all you can think about? Well think again. Hatori's mine! Do you really think Hatori can like you? Love you! Hatori can't do that; he's like ice. Ever since his precious Kana left. It's your fault he's like this. If you hadn't showed up then Hatori wouldn't be hurt right now. It's your entire fault. You think you can save him? Think you can be Hatori's new girlfriend?"
He turned slightly and backhand Hatori viciously across the face. I gasped and threw my hands up to cover my mouth and realized I was crying softly. Hurt and pain were all I felt at that moment. Why was this happening to me? I hated Akito more at this moment than ever before. It wasn't my fault that Hatori was getting hurt.
I had no time to contemplate anything else because I could feel a familiar presence right above our heads. I jumped and tackled Akito knocking him backwards. At that exact moment Nariko came crashing through the ceiling on top of me, not Akito.
Sitting on top of me she grinned. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? It appears I have caught my archenemy, again." She drew back her arm and punched me. Then it happened again. The pain in my head. The feeling that I'm going to explode. Bright lights dotted my vision and when they cleared I realized with a start that Nariko was experiencing the same. Her face was pale and she was sweating. "K-Kawana y-y-you jer-k-k! W-w-what's going on?" she fell off of me in a faint. I didn't answer because I was in the same predicament.
Well I have a question. My friend said Akito-san was a girl! Is this true? Or was I correct when I said no? please let me know!
