We do not own Fruits Basket

She sat near the porch smiling as she relaxed her hands around her waist as she watched the birds pick at the birdseed she had thrown to him. "... I wonder how the others are doing..." He hadn't been feeling well lately. Hatori had been lurking around quite frequently as of late, checking up and taking care of him. Hatori had probably seen Tohru a few times, but he didn't seem to notice anything, most likely due to the fact her clothes her different and bigger than normal. Akito let the girl have what little freedom there was, as long as she stayed up close to the main house. Currently, Akito sat in his room with Kureno at his side.

She kept her space when Kureno was near she slowly stood walking down the steps into the small garden. "... I miss them." She spoke sadly as she looked down to the small flowers that started to sprout from the fresh snow. "If he knew he would be mad."

With a sigh and a flick of the wrist, Akito sent Kureno out of the room. He slowly brought himself up to his feet and walked across the floor, peering out his window at the snow on the ground. Without hesitation he walked outside, barefooted, in nothing but his long red robe that seemed to engulf his small body to begin with. She looked up quickly hearing the snow crunch behind her before she bowed her head to him. "Good morning Akito-sama." She spoke softly as she looked back up to him. "How are you feeling today?"

He'd really just come over to check on her. As if to have given her an answer, he just turned his head away. His health or how he felt really wasn't of any concern to her anyway. He drug himself back onto the porch and sat down, his legs curling beneath his kimono. She watched him before slowly making her way back to him. She sat beside him slowly keeping her head down. "... When the baby comes will Hatori-san deliver it?" She spoke softly almost above a whisper.

"No." He answered quickly, glancing over the figure that sat next to him. "I will bring in an outsider for that. No one else will ever know of it." He sneered, shoving himself up of the wooden floor, and returned to the warmth of his room.

She nodded sadly as she went to stand a familiar voice hitting her ears. "Tohru, Tohru." She opened her eyes quickly as the little boy with blond hair went to jump on her to hug her. Her hands going out quickly to stop him from coming closer to her form.

Unfortunately, for the blond, his voice did not escape Akito's ears either. He barged right back out the door. Violently grabbing the boy's hair and yanking him away from Tohru. He sent him to the ground. "What are you doing here! No one is allowed to visit her!" He screamed at the rabbit, before Gesturing with an extended arm and finger for the girl to return to her room now.

"... Akito-san he's just a child I'm sure he just wanted to tell me hi..." She spoke up now as she stepped down the steps to help the boy to his feet. "... Momiji-kun you can't tell the others k you got to promise not to tell them where I am." She knelt down to his level petting his cheek softly. "You can't see me no more so forget about me please I'm not your friend return to Hatori-san now or I will hit you."

His eyes widened hearing her cold words. "...Tohru why are you saying this Akito-san making you say these things?"

She stood slowly slapping him hard across the face. "... I said I'm not your friend now go away."

He stood back and just watched the confrontation. After all, she seemed to have handled it well enough. Once again, he returned to the porch, staying there until he was sure that Momiji had left. He looked to her sadly before running off to where Hatori lived. She wrapped her arms around her stomach before walking up the steps. "... Akito-san I'm sorry for disobeying your orders... I'll go to my room now..."

He smirked and shook his head. There really wasn't any point in going to her room now that he had left. He wasn't really mad. She'd taken care of getting the boy out of there, even slapped him. It served to amuse him at the very least. He turned away from her and returned to his room, yet again. "No need."

She looked up to him confused as she followed him into the room. "... Akito-san do you want me to pour you some tea?"

He collapsed onto his futon a bit exhausted, maybe he shouldn't have ran out there after Momiji in the first place. Then again, he wasn't the best at controlling himself. He sprawled out, shaking his head. "No, I'd rather just lie down for a while."

She nodded slowly as she moved over to him kneeling beside him as she placed her hand on his forehead. "... You feel warm maybe I should get Hatori-san."

He shook his head, smacking her hand away from his head. "I just saw him earlier, besides, it isn't anything." He rolled onto his side, facing away from her and closed his eyes.

She lowered her head now as she nodded lightly. "... Akito-san is there anything you want me to do if there's not I was wondering if I can go outside the gates."

He eye twitched slightly, pushing him up, leaning back on his hands. "Things for it, like what? Don't forget Kureno has to go along…"

"... Oh yeah." She spoke softly. "... I'll just pick up some reading then for when you lock me away when I get to fat." She smiled faintly resting her hands on her stomach.

He just sort of shooed her away at that point. It wasn't that he didn't want her to get things for the child, he had actually started to warm up to the idea of having the baby. She stood carefully now. "... Thank you Akito-san I will return to you." She smiled faintly as she walked out of his room sliding the door closed as she headed to hers. Even though he said he would allow her to go, he still just had to postpone it for a little while at least. He called Kureno into his room and told him that they would be going out, but before that, he demanded something to eat. She wore her normal clothes now, but made sure that she wore a baggy sweater Kureno walked into Akito's room with soup and bread so he could eat. She sat slowly beside the door not making a sound, as she waited quietly not wanting to disturb the two males. After receiving the food he quickly sent Kureno away so they could be on their way. He sipped idly at a cup of warm tea as they left.

She walked beside Kureno silently as the left the gates her eyes slowly looking up to him. "... She misses you." She spoke softly as she walked beside him looking around it had been a few weeks since she had last seen the outside world beyond the gate.
