Sorry it took me so long to update. I've been very buissy lately, but in about a week I should have more free time. I only got 3 reviews for my last chapter. What happened! Because it was a new rule I let it go, but I'm not promising to be so nice anymor. I need 10 reviews per chapter people. Not 3, 10. Ok I just wanted to clarify that. Also concerning pairings read the bottom.

Chapter 4: Akito

"What do you meen your going to bed already! You are still in trouble for running away remember!" Inuyasha yelled to Kagome.

"I did'nt run away! I just wanted to visit my cousin to see how she was doing!" Kagome yelled back.

"Not telling anyone that your leaving and having no intention of returning for who knows how long sounds alot like running away to me!"

"I already told you I was'nt running away! Besides I told my mom. Now I really am tierd. I'm going to bed Inuyasha so go leave me alone or else." Kagome thretened.

"Or else what?" He said and instinly regreted it.

"Sit boy! Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit!" Yelled a very pissed off Kagome.

Inuyasha's face ran into the ground ten painful times And everybody stared at him while Kagome went up to her room muttering things like "Stupid Inuyasha." and "Dumb dog".

"..."

"Well I'm glad I dont have a necklace like that." Kyo said.

"Is he going to be ok?" Yuki asked.

"What just happened!" HIro asked.

"Well..." Shigure explaned evey thing to Hiro, Hatsuharu, and Kisa.

After a bout fifteen minutes went by Inuyasha was finaly able to get up. "Why the hell do you have to go and tell eveyone! There was a reson that it was called a secret. Speaking of which why do all of you smell like animals?"

"Um...shouldnt somebody go and calm Kagome down?" Shigure asked changing the subject.

"Oh right! Um good night everyone." Tohru said as she ran up the stairs to find Kagome lying on the bed looking at the cilling.

"Hey Tohru."

"Hey Kagome." Tohru said as she sat down on the bed next to her.

Kagome sat up to look at her in the eyes. "I'm sorry I did'nt tell you about my secret and I'm sorry that I did'nt come to see you earlier."

"Dont appologize. You did nothing wrong. Everyone has there own secrets. The fact that you told me something that you were unwilling to tell made me very happy. And it wasnt your falt that you did'nt come to see me earlier. The Sohmas have been so nice to me and you comeing to see me made me even happier."

Kagome managed a small smile. Even when she was little Tohru would always try and cheer her up, but at the moment that was'nt the only thing that was on her mind. She did'nt want to worry her cousin anymore than she already had so she decided to end it there. "Thank you Tohru. Well I say we go to bed because I'll need alot of sleep to be able to have enough energy to deel with Inuyasha tomarow. Good night Tohru."

"Good night Kagome." Tohru said. Little did they know a certain dog eared half demon was watching them from a tree outside.

Kagome woke up to find Tohru already up and making breakfast. Since it was saturday she did'nt have to hurry to get ready for school. She slowly got ready and headed down stairs to find everybody already sitting down earing breakfast. She looked around and sighed in relief when she noticed that Inuyasha was'nt there. "Good morning everyone." She said as she sat down at the table.

"Oh good morning to you too kagome." Said shigure.

"So did Inuyasha actually listen and go home?" Kagome asked just as Inuyasha came barging through the door. "Well speak of the devil." She mumbled then said in a happier tone "Good morning Inuyasha."

Everyone was shocked to say the least that kagome did'nt yell at Inuyasha or sit him but instead told him good morning. "Hmf. you still in trouble." Inuyasha said.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "whatever you say Inuyasha. So what are we going to do today?"

"Well Kagome I'm glad that you asked. Actually the head of our family is coming by today to see you." Shigure said which made everyone nervous.

"Ok sounds cool. Then I gues I will just look for my apartment tomarow." Kagome said not knowing the seriousness of Akito comming over.

"Well he should be here about one and I think it would be a good idea if Inuyasha wasnt here for this." Shigure added.

"Like hell I will. I aint goin nowhere." Inuyasha protested.

"Oh yes you will. If you dont I will sit you so hard it will make those sits that I gave you yesterday seem like a walk in the park." Kagome thretend and made Inuyasha flinch. Kagome took a deep breath and turned to face the rest of them. "Ok well who knows what time it is?"

"It's about eleven fifteen." Yuki answered.

"Wow already I gues i'll have to hurry and eat so I will have time to shower before one. About that what exactly is this guys name?" Kagome asked.

"Akito." Shigure answered.

"Ok. And out of curiosity why do I have to meet him?"

"Um...well how about you ask him that when he gets here." Shigure said.

"Ok sounds good." She said. She ate quikly and ran upstairs to take a shower.

When she left and Inuyasha heard the shower turn on he asked. "Ok whats up with this Akitoki guy that makes all of you so nervouse?"

"Well first of it's Akito and why would you say something like that?" Shigure said innocently.

Inuyasha gave him a deadly glare "Dont lie to me. I know that there is something up with this guy and if I find out that he has hurt Kagome in any way I will take my anger out on you three." He warned Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure.

The three just stared at him as he left. When he was gone Shigure said "When Akito does come I want you all to watch Inuyasha. I doubt that he will do anything that would get kagome mad after her threat, but I still think that it would be a good idea if you watched him and I want you to take Tohru with you. I dont think that it would be a good idea to give Akito any resone to get mad at her." They nodded in agreement as Tohru came in and they explaned the situation to her.

One o'clock rolled around and Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki had already left to find Inuyasha and Kagome was just coming down stairs after having taken a shower and finished her homework. Kagome was wearing a black tshirt that had the band nickleback printed on it and a pair of jeans. Her hair was still wet and stuck to her face but she did'nt seem to mind to much. After a few years in the feudal era she began to get interested in some music that she had picked up from the few days that she was actually at school. She got interested in alot of punk rock and rock music because for some resone it felt oddly enough calming to her. She would bring her cd player and music to listen to when they were traveling.

She sat down on the coach with Shigure waiting for Akitos arival when she noticed that everyone else was missing. She was about to ask Shigure where they were when she felt a dark aura approching the door. There was a knock and both Shigure and Kagome stood up, but Shigure was the only one to open the door. There stood Akito acompanied by Hatori.

Akito walked to the door next to Hatori. From what he understood their 'guest' was a miko and had the abilityu to heal people. He wanted to use that power to his advantige. When he walked in he looked at Shigure and then over to the girl. He stared at her beautiful wet raven hair that clung to her face, her her plump rose red lips, her flawless skin, and her hypnotic brown eyes. Akito thought that she was to say the least the most attractive woman he had ever seen. Shigure had snaped him out of his trance by saying hello to him and was given a glare in return. "You must be the miko that I have heard so much about. I am Akito Sohma head of the Sohmas."

Kagome had thought that the head of the family would have been a really old guy, but this guy looked no older then her. "Hello Mr.Sohma I am Kagome Higurashi." Even if he was her age he still was the head of their family so she had figured she outa be polite.

"Shigure, Hatori leave. I wish to speak with Ms.Higurashi alone." Akito orderd and Shigure and Hatori obayed. After they left he began to talk to her. "I dont like being called 'Mr.Sohma'. Call me Akito."

"Um okay Akito. So what did you want to talk to me about. If it's about me staying here I'm going to look for an apartment tomarow so I wont have to bother your family anymore." She felt a little uneasy around him. His aura was way to dark and he has'nt stopped stairing at her since he got here. She had trouble looking him in the eyes so she looked at the ground.

"I'm not kicking you out. On the contrary I want you to stay here." Akito said he was begining to get agrivated that she would'nt look him in the eyes. "As interesting as the floor must be I would prefer it if you looked me in the eyes Ms.Higurashi." He knew he had to stay calm or he would not be able to get her to stay. Willingly that is. He knew he would be able to bring Tohru into it if he had to but he preferd to get her to trust him.

She looked at him and apologized. "Sorry Akito and you can call me Kagome if you want to."

"Thank you Kagome..." He said as he noticed the jewl hanging from her neck. He knew what it was emidiatly and knew that it could break the curse. There was a flaw to this plan though. "Kagome that jewl around your neck. Is that the jewl of four souls?"

Kagome was cought off guard by that. "Um... I dont know what you mean." She decided to play ignorant.

"I dont like being lied to Kagome." He said and moved closer to her within arm length.She felt very nervouse now. He was getting to close to her and she could tell he was not in the best mood. He gave a creepy smirk and said "But I'm sure you have some things that you would prefer keeping secret. However since you will be living in this house you will need to know the Sohma family secret. Our family is cursed. We turn into the animals in the zodiac when we are sick or are hugged by members of the opposit sex." He looked in her eyes looking for fear when all he found was sympathy. "Being a miko you must have noticed that we have a strange aura." He continued.

"I have noticed that. I'm very sorry you have to live with that. It must be a terrible burden." Kagome said.

He was'nt expacting that reaction. What he was expacting was fear and disgust not compasion. "Hn. What would you know?" He said angrily.

She noticed his anger and said. " your right. I would'nt know, but I appriciat you telling me such a deep secret. I'm afraid that what I have already said about myself however is all I'm willing to share." She knew that this would upset him but he needed to know that he could not pry any further into her life.

He gently grabbed her face with his right hand, there noses almost touching when he said "I wont make you tell me everything now, but you will tell me." He orderd stairing deep into her beautiful eyes. On impuls he gave her a quik kiss on the lips and backed away from her smirking. He enjoyed looking at her shocked and clearly pissed off face as he heard Shigure and Hatori come back. Before he turned around to leave he added "And I'm sure you know that if you tell anyone about our secret there will be severe consiquenses."
And he turned around left with Hatori as Shigure walked in.
