Sorry for not updating for so long, I have to face the horror of homework and essay the teachers piled on me and I just finished my exams last week. Can you imagine it 5 days of sitting quietly doing exams all day long? Believe me it's torture. Well now I'm free and hopefully will be updating faster than before (if I'm not lazy which I really am)

Thank you for the reviews more would be great anyway on with the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own Akito or Fruits Basket I only own Sohma Sakuya.

Strawberry shortcake and chocolate fudge

The next day Akito was having lunch in his room. His food was the type that you will only find in a five stars hotel, but no matter how good the food is he doesn't feel anything. He kept looking out the window every five minutes.

'What am I doing? I'm not waiting for her am I? No, it can't be. I'm just curious that she'll dare show her face here again or not right? Right.' He convinces himself to believe that thought and continue with his luxurious lunch. Times passed until 1:00pm the maid came in to take the tray away but the girl was no where to be found.

After lunch Akito was sitting on a futon in the middle of the room the blanket covering his legs, staring out the window "WHERE IS SHE?" he said irritably in a loud whisper. 'She said she was going to come, how dare she, who does she think she is breaking a promise with me' he thought angrily and starting to form an evil plan on how to torture the girl when he see her again. Right on queue there was a knock on the door "WHAT" Akito snap angrily.

The shoji door slide open to reveal a silver hair girl sitting Japanese style by the doorway. She bow a little then enter the room and then settle herself beside Akito's bed like yesterday. She was wearing a pink kimono with white obi and sakura pattern at the bottom. She smile at him lightly and bowed once again.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Akito sama I wa-"

"I was not" Akito interrupt her apology once again with simple words and stare coldly at her.

The stare send cold chill down her spine "I'm sorry"

"I told you to stop saying that"

"H-Hai"

Their uncomfortable conversation ended when the knock on the door was heard again. The two turn their head to the source of the voice to see a maid coming in carrying a tray containing 2 plates and forks. The tray was set beside Sakuya

"I've brought what you've asked for Sakuya san" she said politely

"Arigato" the maid bowed to Sakuya and Akito then made her exit.

Akito eyed the tray curiously "what are those for?"

She smile and lifted a box from behind her making Akito question himself why didn't he notice it before "For this" she said and put down the box between them.

She delicately opened the box with Akito eyeing it all the time. She lift the lid up to revealed a slice of strawberry shortcake and a slice of chocolate fudge. She put the two cakes on to the plates

"These are the cakes from my favorite store. They're made from the best ingredients. I think you would like them they're very delicious. Which one do you want Akitosama"

"What about you?"

"I don't know. I was thinking that if you want the strawberry shortcake I'll take the chocolate fudge and if you want the chocolate fudge I'll that the strawberry shortcake and if you want you can have both of them."

Akito eye the sweets and lift his head up to face the wall opposite himself "I told you that I don't mind a little it should be clear enough that I don't like sweets stuff that much" he said to her but still facing the wall

"I sor-" she started to apologies again but stop remembering that Akito forbid it. Out of words she keeps quiet and stares at the floor.

"But throwing it away will be a waste" Akito said quietly breaking the silent. He turned his head to look at the girl and cock it a little sideway

"So you have to eat it with me" the girl head shot up quickly lavender meet with hard black orbs "this is a command" he add. No matter how demanding and cold he want his voice to sound but it still come out too soft than he wanted. This earns a bright smile from the girl "Hai" she said and bowed again. Akito right eye twitch slightly at the smile showing that he didn't like the outcome of the situation, all was gone oblivious to the girl who lift her head up to smile at Akito again. Akito look down at the cakes and start eating starting from the chocolate fudge acting as if he couldn't care less but in the inside he was enrage

with himself

Back there when he think of saying something with cold harsh voice that he always use with other people he couldn't bring himself to said it to her and the result is that he sound like he was actually asking her to eat the cakes with him, and Sohma Akito never ask, he command, demand and insist but never ask. Furthermore when he saw that smile, the bright smile of happiness on her face he forgot to breath and his heart rate increase. What are these strange emotions that he got when he's with her? The worst is when he saw the smile except from those emotions he also felt………..happy.

'Why' he ask himself over again and again but silence answer back

Before he knows it the last remaining piece of the dessert went down his throat. He felt her eyes on him but he decide to look out the window. He still felt her gaze and somehow became nervous. He didn't know why he's having these feeling, it's not like he's afraid of her right? No, of course not. He's the great Sohma Akito the head of the Sohma clan and she's only one member of the family; he has absolute power over her, he can hurt her even kill her anyway he wish and nobody can do anything about that. He smirks inwardly and turns his head to face her only to have the self confidence he just gain to vanish into thin air. There, she was smiling again how can anyone smile so much he ask himself? 'She's pretending' Akito says to himself but deep down he knows he smile is a true smile, from the heart, naïve and innocent. Not fake like the one everybody give him all the time. It took every ounce of his will to refrain himself from smiling back.

"Do you like it Akito sama?" she ask him the smile never leave her face

"No" he reply simply not wanting her to know that he actually enjoyed it

She lower her gaze, the smile no longer on her face and whisper a soft "Gomen"

Guilt was clearly show on Akito's face but the girl couldn't see it and Akito thanks god for that.

The girl raise her head and give him a sad smile "I should get going my mom won't like it like I go back home late" she bowed to him and gather all the plates and forks onto the tray taking it to the door with her. Before going out she turn round to face him again "See you tomorrow Akito sama and thank you for everything" she give him one last smile a bow and was gone.

A frown crept its way onto Akito's face. He curse himself mentally for felling happy when she smile, wanting to smile back, for feeling guilty and surprisingly even for himself………….for making her depressed. He slumped onto the futon confusing with himself.

Sorry if my typing aren't that good to tell the truth I got a C in English.

Hope you enjoyed it. Can anybody tell me what's a 'Mary sue' because I see a lot of stories saying 'It's not a Mary sue'. Seems like this 'Mary sues' aren't so popular. I don't want my Sakuya chan to be one of them.
