Akito's Revenge – Chapter 3

"Ahh, Kyo-kun… watching Tohru-kun sleep now, are we? You dirty boy." Laughed Shigure, while watching Kyo leave Tohru's room.

"You damn dog! I wasn't doing anything." Kyo stormed away, his face red. Shigure laughed to himself.

"Young love…" He chuckled, just within earshot of Kyo.

"I HEARD THAT YA DAMN DOG!" He screamed angrily, turning round to glare at Shigure, who was laughing manically, clutching his knees.

"K-k-Kyo…-Kun?" He heard from Tohru's room.

"Oh, damn. You woke her up. Baka Inu." He muttered, while walking towards her room.

"Ah ah ah, Kyo-kun… I think not that you will enter precious Tohru-kun's room, for I do not wish to think about what evil plot you have in mind you fulfil your most vivid fantasies."

"YOU…YOU… BAKA INU!" Kyo launched himself at Shigure, who calmly stepped to one side to avoid the blow.

"I suggest you work on your bedside manner, Kyon-Kyon."

"DON'T CALL ME KYON-KYON!"

"I will call you whatever I wish. Now, kindly go to your room, Kyon."

"Whatever." Kyo skulked back to his bedroom unhappily, still reeling from Shigure's comments.

"I could never think of Tohru-kun like that."

….

"W-w-what…?" Tohru was sat up in bed, looking at the strange figure that seemed to be sat, perched on the corner of her bedside table.

"Why, hello Tohru-kun. Awake finally, I see?"

"Shi…Shi…Shigure?" She rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Why would Shigure-sensei be sat at the end of my bed?" She wondered. "Oh well, what a wonderful honour it is to have Shigure-sensei enter my room! I should be thrilled!"

Pasting a huge smile on her face, she sat up and looked at Shigure expectantly.

"Yes, Shigure-san?"

"Well, Tohru-kun… you see, I have a proposition for you."
"A… a proposition, Shigure-san?"

"Yes" He slid off the bedside table and sat on the edge of her bed, his eyes glinting.

"What is it, Sensei?" She sat further up in her bed, her smile widening.

"Well… I happen to know that our little Kyon-Kyon… has feelings for you." Looking down at his hands, he watched Tohru's reaction from the corner of his eye. She looked shocked, but still wore the same old smile. Grinning, he leaned over so his face was within an inch of hers.

"…How do you feel about Kyo, Tohru?"

"I-I-I…erm… I…" She stuttered, suddenly feeling the urge to cower underneath her blankets. "I can't tell him how I feel about Kyo-Kun… everything would be ruined, Sohma-kun…Kyo-kun… Akito-san…"

"Stop thinking for a moment and speak for yourself, Tohru-kun." Shigure snapped, taking hold of her hands. "For once, stop acting so selfless and listen to your heart."

He leaned over further, eventually meeting her lips with his, and, kissing her gently, he pulled her up towards him, out of her bed covers. Pulling away, he grinned.

"Now tell me. How do you feel about Kyo-kun?"

…

Downstairs, Kyo gazed at the ingredients of a microwaveable fish dinner he wanted to cook himself.

"They've been up there for hours!" He whined, glaring towards the ceiling.

"I'll go check up on them, I think…yes. I will."

He set off walking up the stairs towards Tohru's room, his pace quickening when he heard no noise coming from her room.

"Tohru, when's dinn…" cut off in mid-sentence, he stared at the sight that greeted him.

"Shi-Shi-Shigure… how…how… how could you?"

"Wait, Kyo… this isn't how it looks…" Shigure pulled away from Tohru abruptly, standing up.

"You… you were kissing… weren't you…?" He yelled, backing away towards the door.

"You're… like... ten years her senior! What the hell do you think you're doing!"

"Will you shut up, Baka Neko?" Yuki appeared behind him, obviously just arriving back from school. Loosening his tie, he glared at Kyo.

"I'm gonna try and get my homework done without you making a…"

His breath caught in his throat as he gazed at Shigure and Tohru. Tohru was looking down at her blankets, her eyes misting over with tears, and Shigure looked slightly ruffled, his Kimono resting halfway down his arm.

"Kyo…? What's going on, Neko?"

"This… this CRETIN… he… they… Tohru… kissing…"

"What!" Yuki stormed into the room, his usually serene violet eyes burning.

"Y-Y-Yuki-kun… I…"

"Save it." Yuki stopped in his tracks. "Kyo, pack your bags. We're going."
