"LIRA!" yelled Kyo and Yuki "WHAT IS AYAME AND SHIGURE DOING IN YOUR BED WITH YOU?"
"They both had no where to sleep so I let Ayaa-nii and Gure-nii sleep in my bedroom." Lira said groggily
"That's correct! Plus Lira, Shigure and I had so much fun and we were quite comfortable with our sleeping arrangements…" said Ayaa getting out of bed.
"Yes, Ayaa was on the bottom and I was on top." Said Shigure.
"And where was Lira?" asked Tohru
"Oh, Lira dear was in the middle." Said Ayaa.
"THAT'S IT I'M GOING TO KILL BOTH OF YOU!" yelled Kyo
"Well it would've never happened if you guys didn't break The wall to Shigure's room."LIra siad pulling the covers over her head
"How dare you invade Lira's slumber? You should be ashamed of yourselves! Especially you Shigure! Sleeping in nothing but your boxers." Shouted Yuki
"It's natural!" shouted Shigure back at him
"It's disgusting! Put some damn clothes on!" yelled Kyo
"Shigure…make them stop yelling." Said Lira wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Get out of her bed!" both boys shouted.
"Well boys you've passed the test!" said Ayaa "Tohru my dear I'm famished. Could you fix me something?" Ayaa said going out the door.
"TEST! What test?" yelled Kyo
"Oh it's nothing." Shigure said getting out of bed and pulling on a kimono. "Now if you excuse me I have a manuscript to write."
Both Kyo and Yuki fell on Lira's bed exhausted.
"You guys are so funny." Lira said sitting up in her bed. "It's good to know that you two care for me so much."
"He wear's me out so damn much. Sometimes I believe I hate him more than that damn rat."
"I think that's impossible Kyo." Said Tohru smiling at them. "I'm going to go start breakfast."
"Let me come with you Miss Honda. I don't want to stay in here with this stupid cat." Yuki said getting up and leaving with Tohru.
"Have your wounds gotten better?" asked Kyo.
"No not really, I mean it's only the second day." Lira said smiling at him.
"I'm so sorry." He said kissing her hand
"That's got to be the millionth time you've apologized to me." She said looking at him "I love you, Kyo."
"I love you too, Lira." He said smiling at her "I'm sorry but I've got to get ready for school and you've got to get better."
"It's alright, I'll be here when you get home." Lira said
Kyo kissed Lira on the forehead and left the room.
"It's funny." Lira thought lying back in her bed. "I told Kyo about my feelings for Akito and yet…he forgives me for it." Lira closed her eyes and got comfortable in her bed. "Maybe it's because I forgave him. For hurting me."
"Lira, Master Akito will see you now." Said a servant
"Thank you." she said getting to her feet. She walked into the room where Akito was and he was sitting on the porch with bird in his hand. "You wanted to see me?"
"Yes…I wanted to know if you're alright…" he said turning to face her
"Since when do you care if I'm alright Akito?" she asked coldly
"Hmm" Akito let the bird fly away and he got to his feet, and then pulled up the sleeve of his kimono. "Why since I fell in love with you, Lira."
"Huh? No! That's a lie!" Lira yelled
"No it's not, but instant all those things Kyo said was a lie?" asked Akito taking closer steps to her. "I'll never abandoned you Lira, I'll always be here for you Lira, I'm only one step behind you Lira to catch you when you fall. You're my one and only, you mean the world to me. I care about you Lira, I need you Lira, and I want you Lira!"
"He said those things because he loves me!" she yelled tears filling her eyes
"Yes but…did he ever tell you that he loved you?" Akito asked
"He just wasn't ready! Kyo loves me! I know he does! How do I know your not lying!"
"That's just it…you don't know…" he took Lira's hand and pulled her into and embrace "I can tell you I love you as much as I wanted and you would never know because your heart is filled wit h such passion such joy that you think you'll burst from such happiness."
"I knew you were lying." Lira said softly
"Yes but didn't for a moment…" he put his lips close to her ear and whispered "your heart skipped a beat?"
Lira pushed him away but Akito grabbed on to her sleeve and pinned her to the nearest wall with her hands above her head.
"Admit it Lira!" he yelled at her as she struggled "you knew Kyo didn't love you and you had doubts that you two would ever actually make it! And you know you probably couldn't because the cat isn't allowed o marry is he?"
"Let me go!" she yelled, she then kicked him in his shin and Akito let go of her "Why can't you just leave me alone?"
"Because I want to be your everything." Akito said simply "it was nice talking to you Lira. We should have dinner tonight."
Lira quickly left the room and headed towards Hatori's house. She opened the door to his office and found him talking on the phone.
"No, she's not doing well Kazuma. She wanted me to erase her memories last night…" said Hatori "Is Kyo willing to talk to her? I think they need to"
"Work things out?" she said finishing his sentence and plopping into the chair in front of his desk. "Let me talk to Kyo."
"Kazuma? Yeah put Kyo on the line." Hatori said before handing over the phone to Lira.
"Hello?"
"H-Hi Lira."
"Kyo, why did you leave without-"
"Look I'll make this brief." He said, "I like you a lot Lira but I don't think…we should be together…"
"Why?" asked Lira trying to keep her voice steady?
"Because I feel uncomfortable for you and I just think were better off as friends." he took a deep breath and said "I'll call you tomorrow okay?"
"Don't bother! I don't ever want to hear from you again! I hate you Kyo! I hate you!" she slammed the phone on the desk and ran into her room.
"After that…I kept calling Lira to make sure…she was alright…then one day Hatori said she moved to America to get away from the public. But I knew it was a lie …she moved to get away from me. Her memories of me, her feeling for me, everything…she'd rather have forgotten every single thing about me than go on remembering the past that we could never go back to. I blame myself for all the pain I caused her and the promises I didn't keep, but I blame Akito for taking her away from me."
"When I ran to my room…I threw everything around ripped everything that reminded me of him…I was torn apart by the one person who made my heart stay together. I couldn't handle it…so I ran to Akito…why Akito, when Hatori's right there…because I didn't want Hatori to be burden with my stupid problems. I began to rely on Akito and he in return gave me the comfort I needed…at first he was the person I needed to get back Kyo…but then I realized this later on…if I truly wanted to get back at Kyo I should've been spending my time with Yuki. Even after I moved to America Akito and I still stayed in touch…until I realized I was started to develop feelings for him, so I stop talking to him. It wasn't until I came back I knew it was for sure that I was falling for Akito and when he kissed me, I had fallen to deep. Now I desperately try to fall out of love for him. Why would I want to be with someone I know who will hurt me? Akito's love is like candy…artificially sweet you get fooled by the wrapping and you just like candy it become addictive..."
"Hey you guys. About time you got home. I was bored here with only Shigure and Ayaa." Lira said smiling at them as Tohru, Haru, and Yuki.
"What are you talking about Lira? We had tons of fun!" said Ayaa
"Yes, especially in the shower!" said Shigure happily
"What do you mean?" asked Haru sitting down
"Well with Lira's broken leg she needed help in the shower! So we gladly assisted her!"
"That's illegal you both should be arrested!" yuki yelled
"Yuki don't be so mean. We took baths together."
"We we're 3!" he replied.
"Really? I take baths with Lira when she comes over to the Sohma house." Said Haru
"You do?" said Shigure said in surprise
"Haru! Your as bad as them!" yelled Yuki
"It was nothing like that…she would just wash my back and I would wash hers." Said Yuki
"That's no excuse!"
"Oooo wait till Hatori here's this!"
"Kyo and I love each other and were together now. I just hope we can be like this forever." Lira thought watching Yuki argue with Ayaa. "Well some things could change."
"Tohru how about we take a bath together?" suggested Lira
"Oh ok, that's be alright." Said Tohru
"You too, Yuki you can help us wash each other." Lira said happily
"Lira you're making me lose all my respect for you." said yuki putting his head on to the table.
Just have to credit, when Lira says Akito's love is like candy it's from a song called "Walk Away" by Christina Aguilera. If you think about it Akito's feelings for Lira are artificiall.
