He sighed slightly, rubbing the back of his neck. He wasn't sure how to respond. After all, he knew he could never be with a woman anyway, and at least for the moment, things were all right as far as the relationship between himself and Akito. He shook his head slightly, and then spoke to the girl. "Is she doing well?"

She nodded lightly smiling as she did. Before stopping quickly tugging on his hand. "... Come on we need to go this way or Kyou-kun will see us..."

"Huh?" Taken by surprise at the tugging of his hand, due to the fact that he really wasn't paying to much attention to begin with. It took him a second before nodding and following along with the girl. "Did you see Kyou-kun?"

She nodded lightly as she looked back hoping Kyou hadn't noticed she headed into a bookstore as she looked out the window. "I can never mistake that orange hair..."

He idly picked up a book off a shelf and held it up in front of himself, as if he were reading it. Glancing from behind the book he peered out the window. "Yes, he does stand out a little more than others... Hopefully he didn't see us."

"... Akito-san will probably beat me if he knew I talked with Kyou-kun..." She stepped from the window as she quickly picked out a few books making sure Kureno didn't see the tittles. She made her way to the back of the store paying for the books.

He peeked over, watching the girl go to the counter with the books. He had to keep an eye on her, if something did happen, it was rather likely she wouldn't be the only one to feel Akito's wrath. She took the wrapped books walking to Kureno rather quickly. "I'm ready to go back home to Akito-sama." She spoke softly as she stepped outside only to be stopped by an orange hair boy.

"Tohru!" He attempted to stop her himself before she went out the door, but wasn't able to in time. He hurried out behind her. He glanced toward the cursed cat, then back to Tohru and motioned her to come along. It would be best if were on our way now, Tohru.

She nodded lightly as she looked past the cat following behind Kureno like a chick would a mother hen. Kyou grabbed hold of her shirt quickly. "Tohru-san why haven't you come home...?" He spoke sadly as he looked to her only getting a lost saddened look from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think we've met before." She smiled at him as he turned away pulling her hand free of his. He stopped as well; turning around as the other two spoke between themselves. His expression turned into a bit of a frown as he watched them. It probably wasn't completely necessary for her to go as far as claiming to not know the other party, however whatever mean she used would be fine by him as long as it worked and sent them on their way.

Kyou just watched them growling a bit. "Tohru-san what did Akito-san do why are you with them and not us?" He was yelling now, but she ignored him as she followed close to Kureno making sure they were out of earshot. "... I think you should go home Kureno-san I'm scared Kyou-kun will try something I swear I will show up... Please just make sure Akito-sama is safe and I will be there and take the punishment that you receive for leaving me." Kyou had despaired from sight now.

He shook his head slightly, sighing to himself over the recklessness of youths these days. "I can't just leave you Tohru. I do agree that we should be going back now, however." He stated, glancing off, trying to figure out were Kyou had run off to. Not able to see him anywhere he just motioned Tohru on as they headed back to the estate.

She quickened her pace making sure to hurry back. "... He won't allow me to be outside anymore after this..." she spoke sadly carrying the books to her chest.

"It will be okay as long as nothing happens, I wont bring it up." He attempted to at least reassure the girl this, though he was quite doubtful that it would end there, given Kyou's nature, he was sure they would be seeing him again rather soon.

She went within the gates. "... I can make it back to Akito-sama from here you don't have to suffer his wrath if he's upset." She smiled at him kindly. "... Thank you for taking me out into the city for the last time."

He gave a nod. "I'm sorry it didn't turn out better, Tohru. I would have liked to spend the day out with you." He let her go, still keeping an eye on her.

She nodded sadly. "Yeah it would have been fun, but we must obey God." She waved to him before walking into the main house heading to Akito's room.

Akito was still in the bed at this time. He'd heard someone coming and managed to sit up, a knee up to his chest and the other sprawled out in front of him. He'd been rather lonely knowing there wasn't anyone there.

She walked in quietly as she kneeled in front of him as she smiled to him kindly. "I got a few good books Akito-sama..."

He smirked slightly, glancing to the girl as she came into the room. "I wasn't expecting you would return so quickly." He held out an extended hand toward the girl. "Let me see."

She handed out the books to him. "... I didn't want to stay on my feet to long because of the child on the way..." the first book filled with short stories, the second was nursery rhyme's, the last two just normal reading material.

He shuffled through the books somewhat then tossed them back in her direction carelessly. "Kureno didn't see these books did he?"

She shook her head quickly as she gathered them into her arms. She looked up to him now lowering her eyes halfway. "... He was busy looking at books him self."
