Chapter 1:
Akito sat up in bed. The rain was still dripping off the side of the house, reminding Akito of the turmoil the night before. Hatori had left now but Kureno would always be there. He slipped downstairs and saw Kureno at the table, everything set, ready for Akito. He sat at the other side of the table and began to eat.
With Kureno's eyes on him the entire time, Akito moved slowly and quietly until he was done. Then he set down the chopstiks and said, "I want to go out this morning." Kureno looked at him quickly. Akito knew what was crossing his mind, it was too early for akito to go out. The cold would probably hurt him after being so sick only the other night. "I'll be fine, I only wanted to see Miss Honda and ask he how she fared in the storm." Kureno knew what Akito meant by that and so he was quick to respond.
"Akito you're still too weak to go out, and too angry. You need more rest." Kureno said, "You can't take your pain out on Tohru Honda. That would ruin what everyone thought of you."
Akito snapped his head up and looked stunned at Kureno, "And here I thought you were with me in everything, Kureno. Why should Tohru Honda be any diffrent than any other girl who was walking down the street." His eyes narrowed, "You aren't gaining feelings for her, are you Kureno?"
"Of course not Akito. I would never turn against you. But it will be hazardous for you health. After all, it's stll very wet and cold out there. You might slip and break something." Kureno sounded worried and Akito knew that it was because he didn't want Tohru honda to be hurt in any way. What did that girl think she was doing, pitting the entire Sohma family against their god, him!
"I know that if you are there you won't let anything happen to me." Akito stood up and got his coat. He was going to leave and Kureno would have to come with him. Sure enough, as Akito stood, so did Kureno, because he had to come with Akito. Akito was god and that was all that the Zodiac could treat him as.
