Yashas-baby16 - You're welcome! Lol. I might as well actually do a lemon in this chapter after all.

Trishia - You're welcome. I'm happy to acknowledge all of my readers and reviewers. I think I'll do a Shigure x Tohru lemon after all. Just because it is quite hard to imagine the whole thing by it's self. So, yea. I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

Dae-chan - Thank you! Don't cry, Dae-chan! But of course, I can't stop your tears, can I? Lol.

Midnight 1987 - Ahh! No strangling me, please . . . Gack! I'm doing a lemon scene after all . . . And after I post this chapter, I will up the rating.

A/N - Just in case, I'm warning you all now: there maybe spoilers from the anime and manga! And Shigure may seem a little OOC. But it goes well with his struggling feelings for Tohru! And there will also be swearing, because of Kyo's bad mouth. n.n

2nd A/N - Since I'm going to bring a female Akito in here, and there's a strong sexual attraction between her and Shigure, I'm going to warn you all now, there is going to be sexual content intended in this chapter. And maybe for the rest of the story. I'm still unsure of later chapters though. Please do not be offended if you don't like this stuff. Just skip through it for your sake.

3rd A/N - There will be a lemon in this chapter, but not a heavy one. Since I can't bring myself to do a full blown lemon scene. So, I'm just going to do light one. If you do not want to read it, just skip over it, thank you!

(Silver: I can't believe I'm going to write a lemon! -falls over- I'm a flippin' teenager! I am imagining this whole scene in my head, just tolet you all know. And I play out every scene of all my stories in my head, all the time. Enjoy the lemon or skip over it. Your choice.)

Chapter Ten

Tohru gasped softly as Shigure entered her, "Sh-shigure . . . "

At hearing his name, Shigure worriedly looked down at her, cupping her cheek. He bent closer to her, kissing her forehead.

"Are you ok, Tohru-chan?" He whispered, touching her skin softly.

His beloved Onigiri smiled, still feeling a slight twinge of pain from her inner thighs, "Just . . . go on . . . Shii-chan . . . " She whispered.

The Inu kissed her lips gently before thrusting once more, earning a small cry from his little flower. Shigure held Tohru close as he continued to press inside her, earning soft cries from the brown haired girl beneath him.

"Toh . . . kun . . . " Shigure whispered, his words becoming muddled and confusing as Tohru's nails dug into his skin.

Soon all words and thoughts left both of them as they both cried out in unison, both adults reach their peak.

(I told you all I was bad doing a lemon!)

Shigure buried his face into Tohru's neck, nuzzling it and kissing her skin as he whispered incoherent and muddle words into her ear. Mainly, "Aishiteru."

"Shii . . . " Tohru smiled, whispering his name softly.

The novelist layed beside her, only to hold her close enough for her ot rest her head on his shoulder. Tohru and Shigure soon fell asleep,all thoughts leaving their minds and exhaustion finally taking it's toll on them.

Her dark teal colored eyes narrowed as she growled, clenching her fists. The Sohma Leader paced around the room.

"How dare that Inu leave me . . . " She growled.

Akito kicked at a nearby pillow, the force knocking it against the wall, "After all those years . . . all those years . . . " She whispeerd, trying to hold back her tears.

Shigure rejected me . . . My Inu . . .

'No one rejects me!' She thought, clenching her fists more tightly, her nails digging into her palm, 'No one . . . It was that outsider . . . '

"Honda-san . . . " Her eyes narrowed, 'That stupid bitch was the one that won my Inu's heart over. Damn her . . ." Akito's heart thumped rapidly in her chest as angry thoughts of Tohru flooded into her mind, "I have her memories erased, the next time she comes here. I'll erase her memories of ever having anything to do with the Sohmas! And Shigure's memories of her will be gone as well!"

The door quietly slid open and a silvery-white haired man, with golden eyes, stepped in. A smile broke out onto Akito's lips as she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Akito-san called?" Ayame asked in confusion as he sat on a nearby mat.

"Aaya-chan . . . " Akito whispered, turning to her beloved hebi, walking over to him.

"H-hai?" Ayame choked as he sat straight, his eyes transfixed on his leader.

Akito settled herself into his lap, almost curling into his chest, "Aaya-chan, would you do anything your god asks of you?" She whispered the question lowly, playing with a lock of the overly confident male's hair, earning a slight nod from him.

Ayame stared down at her in confusion, "H-hai, of course my dear, Akito-san . . . Anything . . . "

Akito's face lit up into an eerily smile and she planted a kiss on his chin, eventually making her way to his lips, "Ayame-chan, I want you to . . . bring Ha'ri-chan, Shii-chan, and Honda-san here,a weekfrom now . . . onegai?" She whispered, nipping his lips affectionately.

His golden eyes widened in confusion as he stared down at her, "Why Tohru-chan?" He asked.

"Ha'ri-chan is erasing her memories of the Sohmas. . . and Shii-chan's memories of ever having met that dreadful wench!"

Japanese Words

-chan - used at the end of ayoung child'sand agirl's name that is close with one

-san - used at the end of a name in respect.

Shii-chan - Shigure's pet name given to him by the younger Sohmas, mainly Momiji.

Shigure-chan - Tohru's pet name for Shigure

Aaya - Shigure's nickname for Ayame, but with 'chan' it's Akito's pet name for him

Ha'ri - Shigure's nickname for Hatori, in place of Ha-san in the English Dub of the anime. With 'chan', it's Akito's pet name for Hatori.

Note - About Tohru being called, 'Tohru-kun'. We all know that Tohru her self is a girl and not a boy, but the name Tohru is a guy's name in Japan. And in the manga, people often added -kun to Tohru's name, because of that purpose. Even Shigure calls her Tohru-kun.

Silver: I'm evil! Akito is planning on something! Oh jeez! I hope you have enjoyed it and no strangling me! -hides behind my curtain.
