Akito POV
"Akito, it's time for your check-up, may I come in?" Hatori inquires quietly, just loudly enough for me to hear without disturbing me. I wearily open my eyes and mumble my consent. He heard me and entered, no matter how softly I speak, he always hears. I watch you closely as you enter and check me eyes, heart, lungs, ears, and throat. You daren't ask me to move, so you work around my position on the floor. You then make some quick notes in your perfect handwriting on your notepad and begin preparing to leave. I notice you are more nervous than normal, your hands shake slightly and you continually glance at my eyes. It almost seems like you, the dragon, are trying to judge my mood, I know something is off. I suspect I know the answer but I need to know for sure.
"Hatori," my cold tone freezes you immediately, "you went and saw Shigure yesterday, tell me, how are my pets?" I ask as I rise from the hardwood floor just outside my room on the deck.
"Well..," you hesitate; I hurry you on with a stone cold look, "Shigure is being tormented by his editor, again, she refuses to leave without at least fifty pages more…" you continue to stall. "Kyo is still fighting with Yuki, although it's not as bad as before, I think they may have a chance at not destroying Shigure's house…" I am beginning to tire of these excuses "Yuki and Miss Honda are getting to be closer friends recently…" inside I am puzzled, why would you tell me all this but I can't let this distract me, I simply glare.
"Get to the point Hatori" I demand, I'm tired of these excuses. You sigh and I can tell you are defeated. You hoped to get me in a better mood before telling me whatever this news is, too bad, you will tell me what I want when I want.
"Shigure was wondering if it would be all right if Miss Honda came and joined us for New Years, otherwise he fears Yuki and Kyo will skip again…" you give me a pleading look.
"Bring them to me…NOW" I hiss as I lay back down. You hesitate.
"Even Kyo?" you ask. My mind spins, let the monster come or not.
"How is he?" I ask calmly.
"Kyo?" I know I have you confused and I like it. The smartest of the Zodiac is confused and I enjoy that fact.
"Yes" I hiss, angrily, you are beginning to try my patience.
"Well, he seems happier now that Miss Honda is there." You tell me slowly.
"Then yes, bring it along as well." I growl. You exit, finally. I stay there for over an hour before I hear a knock on the door. I turned over so I faced the door, still on the floor.
