LAST TIME ON SECRET AMONG SECRETS…..

"Akito looked at her closely "tell me….please?" he said softly. Tohru's heart began to pound, she had never known akito to be…. Caring. "you have to promise me that you won't hurt him." She said looking deeply into akito's eyes. Akito nodded "fine I promise I will not hurt this person." He said….."

and now onto chapter 3

Chapter 3

Gods Gift

Tohru looked into akito's eyes and saw that he was serious. "i…i.." she stutters having never told anyone about who she loved. Now it was true that she loved yuki… but only as a brother, shigure was a little to weird for her, kyo was to violent for her although she did love him as a brother. But the one she loved the most was hatori. She dreamed about being with ever since she first met him, something about him made her heart soar.

Akito watched as she struggled to tell him her feelings. "tohru… please tell me…" he said again, putting a hand on her shoulder. Tohru watched him "i…love…hatori…" she said in a small voice. She quickly looked down, tensing slightly, she expected him to hit her, but it never came.

Hatori stared at her, wondering what she said. He began to think back to what she said about him, then rememberd the time she caught him right before his attempt at suicide. The look in her eyes, the tears on her cheeks, the pleas for him to stop, all of thoes things. "well… akito doesn't look shocked… it must be kyo or yuki…" he thought to himself.

By this time kyo and yuki were completely patched up and awake, though not moving from their spot on the floor. Kyo looked at tohru and saw the fear and pain written all over her face "what did I miss?" he wonderd when a serge of pain went through his body, making him tense up, wincing slightly.

How was he supposed to act? She just told him that she loved hatori, and for some reason, that shocked him. "you love hatori?" he finally managed to get out, playing with his sleeve. Tohru looked at him "yes, I have been ever since I went to his house two years ago." She said smiling softly remembering that day so fondly. "well then tohru, the least I can do….is give you something.." he said softly moving his hands towards her.

Looking over and seeing akito's hands move towards tohru, hatori quickly jumped into action, not wanting his precious angel to get hurt. He quickly reached akito and stepped infront of tohru protectivly "akito, you won't hurt her ever again." He said in a stern tone making akito look at him with a look of curiosity. Tohru grabbed his arm and looked into his eyes "hatori?" she said in a soft tone, wondering what had come over him.

Akito stared at hatori blankly then glanced at tohru before looking back to him "hatori, I was going to give her something…" akito said in a soft voice that sent shivers down tohru's back. Hatori sat down right next to tohru, and glared at akito "give it to her then, but if you hurt her in any way I'll hurt you" hatori said looking at tohru with a small smile.

Tohru looked at both of them and wonderd what was going on but shrugged it off, "so what were you going to give to me akito?" she finally asked, now curious as to why skito was being kind to her. She moved back slightly and smoothed down her skirt before looking at akito again.

Akito smiled and dug into his robes, pulling out a small blue box that had tohrus name on it in gold lettering. "this, if used in the right way will break the curse for everyone." Akito said placing the box into tohrus hands. Tohru looked at akito and then down to the box, she opend the box and gasped "oh my god…" is all she could say…..

And that my dear friends is the end of chapter three, I wonder what is in the box, any ideas? sorry it took so long to write I am having so many problems right now with my computer and I am suffering from major writers block at certain points. So it's not kyo, but hatori " who tohru likes. In the draft I wrote in my notebook it was kyo that she choose but I decided to tweak it, and just to let you know, akito isn't off the hook yet, he isn't all good smirks evily so please review and I shall get to work on chapter 4. PEACE OUT!!
