The day was warm, with a light breeze. "Where are you two going?" Shigure asks Tohru and Yuki as he leans on a door.
"Where going to a picnic!" Tohru says happily showing Shigure their picnic basket. She wore a white dress with small pink flowers and a sun hat that Yuki had bought her a few months previous. "Is Kyo not going with you two?" Shigure asks again, felling curious.
"No." Yuki says plainly. "Ok then…" Shigure says with a devious smile. "Good-Bye Shigure! We'll be back soon!" Tohru says waving happily as her and Yuki head into the woods by the Shigure's house.
"Have fun you two.." Shigure says with a small smile.
"What a lovely day!" Tohru says happily as her and Yuki walk side by side. Sunlight came though open parts in the trees, giving the ground they walked on a different look.
"You look lovely Miss. Honda." Yuki says smiling down at her. Her cheeks go a light pink. "Th-Thank you Yuki!" She says unsure since she didn't want to sound vain. They came to an open grassy area where the sun hit no leaves. "This is a good spot." Yuki says.
He helps Tohru lay out a soft white blanket and they sit on it, close together. 'I wish Kyo could have come….' Tohru thinks.
She didn't want to leave his side and she felt weird not being with him. "Miss. Honda, are you alright? You seem distracted." Yuki asks while laying out some of the food.
"Oh! I'm Fine! Sorry, I got lost in my thoughts for a moment!" She says giving him her goofy smile. They sit in silence for a little while. "You know why I asked you on this picnic Miss. Honda?" Yuki asks her.
She was surprised by his sudden question. "No." She says unsure. "I wanted to sped time with you Miss. Honda, we haven't really spoken much over the past few weeks." He says with a kind smile.
"Where is Tohru?" Kyo asks Shigure. Kyo had just gotten back from a morning workout, a water bottle in hand and a white towel resting on his shoulders. "Yuki and her went on a picnic together." Shigure says sitting at the table he was at before with his paper.
"Why the hell is she with him?" Kyo asks suddenly. Shigure gives him a look of curiosity that soon became a look of amusement.
"OH! KYO! JELIOUS ARE WE?" Shigure asks getting excited. "Shut the hell up! No I'm not!" Kyo yells. "Are to! Oh! I can't wait to tell everyone or little Kyo has a crush..!" Shigure yells happily.
"Shigure, acting yourself I see." Hatori says from the door.
"What the hell are you doing here? How did you get in?" Kyo asks yelling. He was frozen in a position where he was about to knock Shigure out. "Hari! Guess what I just found out!" Shigure yells happily.
"Shut up!" Kyo yells. "Shigure, leave Kyo alone." Hatroi says sitting across the table from Shigure. Kyo goes up stairs, red in the face, form both anger and embarrassment.
"What brings you here?" Shigure asks in a more serious tone. It wasn't like Hatori to come to his house unless it was some-what important news. "I've come because of Akito, he wants to see Yuki and Kyo." Shigure was only mildly surprised by this news. "Why is this?" He asks Hatori. "I'm not sure, but something doesn't feel right." Hatori says in a little worried tone.
"I wonder what our dear Akito could be planning now?" Shigure says pondering. "I know you know." Hatori says giving him a death stare. "Hari! How could you think that!" Shigure yells offended. "Will you ever give it a rest…?" Hatori says with a sigh.
"Oh? I didn't realize, I'm sorry!" Tohru says. She didn't want Yuki to believe that she had purposely been avoiding him or anything, and not wanting to talk to him, because she did like talking to him.
But Kyo was on her mind more then usual. Even Hana and Uo have noticed her drifting in and out of their conversations. "Shall we eat?" Yuki asks with a sweet face. He was getting hungry. "Oh! Yes, let's eat!" Tohru say with a huge smile and gets something Yuki had placed out.
The sun was going down, making the sky look orange, pink, purple and a light blue getting dark. Kyo sees Tohru and Yuki coming back from his room. 'I'll tell her, soon.' He thinks.
"KYO!" Shigure calls from downstairs. Kyo leaves his room and heads down the stairs. Hatori had left, so Kyo took his seat. "Yes, it was a wonderful day!" Tohru says answering something Yuki had said.
"Yuki, can I talk to you and Kyo for a moment?" Shigure asks. "I'll go start dinner!" Tohru says happily, leaving the three of them alone. Yuki sits next to Shigure. "What is it?" He asks curious.
"It's Akito, he wants to see you two tomorrow." Shigure says with an unusualy calm tone. "Me? Why does he want to see me?" Kyo asks.
The last time Akito wanted to see him, he had told Akito he hated Tohru, and that he would love no one. He was hurt as well, he remembered the feeling of getting hit, and the empty feeling he had when hearing Akitos words. But, they didn't penetrate the feeling he had deep inside, when he thought of Tohru, and his love for her.
"I'm not sure, but be on your guard. Akito can't be up to something good. And Yuki, be careful, I hear he has been more violent lately." Shigure says to Yuki. Yuki gives a small nod, he wasn't going to let Akito hurt him again, he wasn't going to let him bad mouth Tohru, and he wasn't, going to let Akito touch her.
"Kyo?" Tohru asks coming form the kitchen. His attention immediately goes to her. "Can you help me in the kitchen when your done?" She asks. Kyo looks at Shigure who says, "Go ahead, that was all." Kyo nods and gets up from the table, leaving Yuki and Shigure alone.
"Is something wrong?" Tohru asks as she and Kyo cut up vegetables for a stew Tohru was going to make. "Huh? Oh it's nothing." He says but she didn't by it. "Kyo, are you sure?" She asks again. He smiles at her, he didn't want to make her worry. "Yes, I'm sure." He says and she smiles back.
"You and Miss. Honda have been getting closer." Yuki says to Kyo as she walk up the steps to a part of the Main House. "Yeah, so what?" Kyo asks getting annoyed at the paranoid Yuki.
They walk down a hall way to meet Momiji waiting outside a door. "Kyo! Yuki!" Momiji says happily. Worry lines were on his face and his eyes didn't seem as full of life as they normally were.
"Momiji, what are you doing here?" Yuki asks. Momiji did live at the Main House, but he Yuki wasn't' sure why he was in Akitos area. "Hari told me you both were coming so I wanted to say hi." He says with a weak smile. "What's the matter?" Kyo asks noticing.
Momiji gives a weak smile, "It's nothing. " He says. Kyo and Yuki shared a glance with each other. "Momiji, what are you doing?" Haru says coming from behind Yuki and Kyo. "Haru!" Momiji says happily. "Come on, Hatori is looking for you." Haru says to Momiji.
"Hey Yuki, hey Kyo, what are you to doing here?" Haru says now standing next to Momiji. "Were here t see Akito." Yuki says. Haru goes a little tense. "Be careful you two, he's been worse lately." Haru says in a warning tone. "We've heard." Kyo says. Haru and Momiji say their good-byes and head down the rest of the hall.
Yuki turns to the door they were to go in, behind it was a room, and after that room was Akito. They go to in.
The room was dark, except for an open door where Akito sat leaning upon. He doesn't look up, nor acknowledge their presences. "Hello Yuki, hello my little monster." Akito says then looks at them with sharp eyes filled with laughter that make Kyo and Yuki look away.
