Hey! You guys really like it that much to come back? AWESOME!

Chapter 2

Akito struggled with himself for a while and looked at the knife. It kept showing up in the same hand and now Akito really did love Tohru, he had no intention to hurt her and he wasn't going to.

"You know that she is the source of all evil!" Akito's bad side whined, seeing that his other half was refusing to kill the girl.

"No, I love her."

"Love? What do you know about love? You've never loved anyone and no one has ever loved you before! Akito, get a hold of yourself!" the bad side spat.

"I know it now. It's never too late to try!"

"It is too late! You can never say that it isn't! It's too late to live! It's too late to love! It's too late to even make up for your sins! It's always too late!"

"No!" Akito screamed and forced the knife into his own hand.

Tohru jumped when she heard the knife fall to the ground.

"Akito?"

She let go of him and saw the blood dripping from hi hand and onto her plushie soft bed. Tohru ran out of the room to get the first aid kit.

"You stupid son of a bitch! How dare you hurt me. I am your flesh and blood, I am you!"

"Not anymore!" Akito refused.

"What? You think you can get rid of me? Without me your weak just like the rest of this damn family!" his other half laughed.

"I can be who I want to be! I just have to be myself! And being myself does not include taking orders from the likes of you!"

Tohru came back in and tended to the wound with love.

"What happened, Akito?" she asked with concern.

"I had a fight with myself," Akito admitted.

"With yourself?" Tohru inquired in alarm. "How? Why?"

"Part of me still thinks that you are nothing but trouble for our family. I disagreed with my other half and in my head I can hear myself yelling. But, that's not me anymore. I've changed, Tohru. Believe me!"

"I believe you, Akito. I believe you because I love you. If you do kill me will you promise that you'll be the one conscious when I die so that I can tell you I love you?" Tohru requested with a heartwarming smile.

Akito looked at her amazed and she just sat there happy. Akito nodded and Tohru giggled to show her happiness.

"She always says things like that," Yuki thought as he watched her from the crack between the door and the frame. "What chance do I have with her now?"

Yuki moved downstairs solemnly and sat next to the softly snoring Kyo on the couch. Yuki lay back and rested the back of his hand on his forehead.

'What's up?" Kyo grunted, feeling Yuki's presence on the other end.

"Did I wake you up? I'm sorry."

Kyo opened his eyes and rubbed them. They were red and you could tell that he had been crying.

"What's wrong?"

"My girlfriend broke up with me," Kyo sighed.

"Was she just here?"

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry."

"What's this? Two young boys sitting at home on a Friday night? When I was young I was out partying all night long!" Shigure announced cheerfully.

"That is until Hatori brought you and my brother home for causing him trouble," Yuki remembered being told once.

"Did Hatori tell you that? No, I suppose it was Aaya. Well, why are you just sitting here? Even though Akito is here you don't have to be."

"Shigure why don't you ever shut up!" Kyo shouted.

"I know, I'll go out and you stay here. Ta ta!"

With that Shigure left the two sitting on the couch. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door and Kyo got up to answer it.

"Who the hell knocks anymore? We have a doorbell you know!" Kyo mumbled as he opened the door.

"Kyo! I've missed you so much!" Kagura said happily.

"I'm not in the mood to deal with you!" Kyo told her forcefully.

Kagura held back a punch and examined his face.

"I found out that your girlfriend dumped you," Kagura said quietly. "I just came to make you feel better."

"No thanks."

"Kyo, how can you be so mean?" Kagura cried.

"Go away."

"But, Kyo-"

"Get lost! I don't want to deal with you!" Kyo screamed.

"I understand. I'll go," Kagura agreed glumly.

Kagura turned around slowly and walked off with her head hanging down low.

"Dammit, that Kagura is so annoying!"

"Kyo, you should give her a chance," Yuki advised. "Or you may lose all chances at love."

Kyo moved sluggishly up the stairs and shut the door once he got to his room.

Tohru and Akito lay under the covers sleeping soundly in each other's comfort. There was no way that people couldn't tell what had gone on. With smiles on there was no doubt that Tohru and Akito had bonded in the most intimate way. Even though it had only been about three weeks since they were accepted by each other they felt as if they had known one another all their lives. This was true love and Yuki knew it as he approached her bed almost catlike to pull the covers up over Tohru's bare chest. He kissed her on the forehead and left.

Yuki knocked on the door of Kyo's room and when no reply came he went in noticing that in a small rage Kyo had forgotten to lock his door.

"Hey, Stupid Cat," Yuki whispered. "In a short time who knew the cat and the rat could become best friends? Kyo, I just wished I could have tried it sooner. I wish you the best of luck in everything you do. I would appreciate it if you took good care of Tohru while I'm gone. Bye, Kyo."

Yuki put a note on Kyo's desk and left closing and locking the door behind him.

"Where do you think your going?" Shigure asked out of the shadows when he saw Yuki with a bag.

"I prefer you not to know."

"Running away because you think that you don't have a chance with Tohru? That shows sign of a weak man. You can't possibly be giving up this easily. I don't see how you can be Aaya's little brother. You're nothing alike."

"That makes two of us and I'll take that last one as a compliment."

"You know, Akito will die soon. After that you'll have plenty of time to have Tohru all to yourself."

Yuki pondered this for a moment. How could he forget about Akito's short life span so easily? Supposedly this had been nagging him in the back of his mind.

"I'll be back. I need to clear my head," he explained and Shigure let him pass.

"Be back soon, Akito will die sooner than he knows."

Yuki departed as the sun was coming up and Shigure stood over Tohru's bed.

"I didn't know that anyone could ever love Akito enough," Shigure sighed and went into his own room for some sleep.

Originally I thought that no one would like this story but since some people do I will try to prolong my original plan for this story. Thank you so much for your support! See you next time! Bye bye!
