Chapter 15: Tohru's Jealousy
Tohru stepped out the door and held her hand onto the frame. There were different colored leaves on all of the trees; many were falling onto the ground. Tohru sighed. "What a gorgeous day."
"Tohru!" Shigure called from the back room. She turned and walked that way.
"Yes?"
Shigure leaned back in his chair and stated, "Akito just called. He wants you to come to the main house and meet with him."
"What does he need to see me for?" she asked.
Shigure moved his hand up and down. "I'm sure it's nothing. You never know with Akito."
Still Tohru was puzzled. Akito… the one who hurt Hatori's eye… the one who hurt Yuki… and the one who hurt Kisa and Hiro. Why does he want to see me?
She stepped out and began her walk to the Sohma house. Once she arrived there, she was greeted by Momiji. "Tohru!" he called to her.
"Hi, Momiji," Tohru said smiling. "What are you doing out here? Isn't it a little chilly?"
"No this is ideal playing weather!" he shouted happily. "Do you want to play?" He gave her little bunny rabbit eyes.
"I can't. I have to go see Akito," she stated.
Momiji was taken aback. "Akito, why does he want to see you?" he asked cocking his head to one side.
Tohru shook her head. "I don't know, but I'm soon to find out."
"Promise you'll be careful? Okay?" Momiji asked.
She smiled and replied, "I promise. Don't you worry."
She walked into the main courtyard and tried to find Akito's house. All of the houses looked the exact same. I don't know whether to knock on doors or just wait until someone comes. She sighed and walked up to a door that said main house on it. Maybe this is it.
She knocked on the door and Hatori opened it. "Akito is expecting you. He's in the back room on the left."
Tohru nodded and walked that way also knocking on that door.
She heard a shallow voice coming from inside. "Come in," it said.
Slowly, she stepped inside and shut the door. "You wanted to see me?"
Akito took a step forward and said, "Tell me, do you not feel hatred toward Kourutsuni?"
Kourutsuni, why would I hate her?
Tohru looked to him and replied, "No."
"Not even the slightest bit?" Akito asked. Tohru shook her head.
"I know you love Yuki, but he loves Kourutsuni not you. Kyo too, he loves Emiree." Akito smirked. All people have emotions. Not even this girl can get rid of them.
Why is Akito telling me all this? I don't love Yuki. Then it hit her. Well he is very kind to me and sweet. I-I do love him don't I? Why has it taken me this long to realize this? Why haven't I thought of it before?
"Why are you telling me this?" she asked.
Akito smirked once again. "Because you will get hurt if you stay there. I want you to leave that house. Leave it or Yuki and Kyo will be the ones that get hurt, and all of your other zodiac friends!"
Tohru ran out the door crying. Tears were streaming down her face and falling onto the ground. I don't want to leave that house. Not again. I do love Yuki, but he doesn't love me. There's nothing left for me at that house.
Shigure's House
Yuki and Kyo walked in the door. "Shigure!" Yuki called.
"I'm back here!" he shouted back. They walked into the room where Shigure was reading a newspaper.
"Where's Tohru?" Kyo asked looking down the hallway.
Shigure lowered his glasses and said, "Akito requested a meeting with her today. She left about an hour ago."
Yuki's eyes shot open and he ran out of the house. Later he stopped dead in his tracks. He saw her leaning against a tree crying.
"Miss Honda!" he called running her way.
She looked at him; her eyes were puffy and red from her tears. "Stay away!" she shouted to him.
"What did Akito do?" he asked while he became angered.
"Leave me alone!" she shouted again anger in her eyes.
Yuki took a step closer to her. "What's wrong? Please let me help."
She looked at him sorrow returning to her. "I can't stay here. I realized something at the main house, something that I've never thought of before. I-I love you Yuki, but why should you care. You love Kourutsuni, and I don't have the right to step in. That's why I have to leave."
Yuki was shocked. So all this time, she has felt sorrow. He got on his knees in front of her. He pulled her closer, not hugging her. "I do feel the same way. I love you too, Tohru." He kissed her. It was a passionate and romantic kiss. All of her worries seemed to disappear, but she had forgotten what Akito said earlier.
