Chapter 2

The Unlikely Couple

"YOU?! GET YOUR LAZY BUTT OUT OF BED!!" my dad yelled at me.

"She's not feeling well, sir." Hatori said calmly, standing up.

"I DON'T CARE!! SHE CAME HERE TO WORK FOR THE SOHMA'S NOT BE SICK!!" my dad replied.

"Who are you?" Akito asked, as he stood up.

"I'M HER FATHER, YOU NITWIT!!" my dad said.

"HOW DARE YOU! YOU COM EIN HERE TO INSULT PEOPLE AND YOU THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH IT?! AND TELLING YOUR DAUGHTER THAT SHE WORKS FOR US, I THINK NOT!!" Akito yelled, getting a temper as well.

"WHY YOU, I OUGHTA SMASH YOU IN RIGHT NOW!!" my dad yelled back.

"Please, you two, calm down. Mr. Daisuke, please wait outside, you are not helping my patient." Hatori replied, as Akito looked back at me to see me in tears.

"Risa? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled." Akito said as he sat back on the bed.

I just smiled at him, and said, "No, thank you. You're the first person who has stood up for me."

Akito took my hand as my dad grunted and stormed out of the room.

"Thank you, Hatori-san." I said, smiling.

Hatori nodded and then said, "Why don't we get someone to bring you something to eat? That looks to be the cause of why you felt weak."

"Okay." I replied feebly and then Akito went to call to get someone to bring me something to eat.

"Mmm. This is delicious!" I said happily, as I ate some meso soup.

"Good, I'm glad you like it." Akito said, smiling at me.

After I had finished eating, and regained my strength, Shigure and I left. When we got home, it was around midnight, but Kyo, Yuki, Kisa, and Momiji had stayed up to make sure I was okay. Even Tohru came by to make sure I was okay!

The next morning, I woke up and went downstairs to find Kisa and Momiji still at the house.

"Good morning!" I said brightly as I walked into the kitchen.

"Mornin' Risa! Feeling better?" Momiji replied as he came up to me.

"Yes. Much better, thank you." I said as I heard someone say something behind me.

"Good." Hatori said as I turned around in surprise to find not only Hatori but Akito too.

"Hatori! Akito! What are you two doing here?" I asked as I smiled.

"Well, Akito wanted to check on you, so I just came along as well." Hatori replied.

"Oh, well thank you for worrying about me Akito. You too Hatori! Why don't you stay for breakfast?" I asked.

"Okay." Hatori replied as I went to hug Akito.

Akito and Hatori ended up staying the whole day so by the end of the day we were tired from staying busy.

"Well, thanks for coming Hatori! It was great seeing you." I said as I went to the front door to see them out.

"Alright, see you." Hatori said as he waved.

"I'll see you soon." I said as Akito looked at me.

"Okay, take care." Akito replied.

"You too." I said as I gave Akito a hug and they left.

During that next week, I helped out around the house and Tohru came by a few times to say hi. But on Friday afternoon, I wasn't feeling well.

"Risa, are you alright?" Shigure asked as he saw me slowly walk into the room.

"Um, not really. I feel sick. I can't believe this. I keep getting sick. Hatori's not gonna be happy." I said as I slumped in front of the table.

"It's alright. I'm sure he won't mind." Shigure replied. "I'll have Kyo make you something so you should get some rest."

"Okay, thanks." I said as I got up to go to bed.

"Oh, Kyoo!" Shigure called happily. "I've got something for you to do!"

"What?" Kyo called as he walked in.

"Risa-san isn't feeling well, so why don't you make her something to make her feel better?" Shigure suggested.

"Uh, I guess. Risa's sick? Didn't she just get sick a couple weeks ago?" Kyo asked as he walked to the kitchen.

"Yes. I think she tends to get sick pretty easily." Shigure replied.

A little while later I heard a knock on my door as Kyo walked in with some warm rice balls and some soup.

"Hey. Here, hope this helps." Kyo said as he handed me the tray and sat down on the floor as I got on the floor too and began eating.

"Mm. Thank you. This is delicious." I said as I smiled.

Kyo smiled a little too and said, "Glad you like it. It reminds me of when I made Tohru something when she was sick."

"Oh? How is it with you two anyway?" I asked curiously.

"Pretty good." Kyo said.

"That's good. I'm happy for you two." I said.

Kyo just smiled. "Ya know, usually, if you'd have been here before Tohru came I'd probably be a lot meaner to you, but, I've decided to be nice."

"Haha, okay, thanks." I said laughing.

Kyo laughed too as Shigure walked in.

"Well, I can see you two are having a good time. Yuki wanted to make sure you were okay." Shigure said as he moved aside to let Yuki in.

"Hey Yuki." I said as he walked in and sat down next to me.

"Hey, are you feeling better?" Yuki asked me.

"Yes. Kyo's soup really helped." I said as Kyo blushed.

Before long, Kisa, Momiji, and Hiro all came over to check on me and we ended up having Kisa, Momiji, Hiro, Haru, Rin, Tohru, and Hatori over.

"Gosh, there's a lot of people here!" Shigure said as I played a game with Momiji.

"Well, I guess they wanted to make sure Risa is ok." Yuki said. "But I wonder where Akito is? Usually he always checks on her when she's sick."

"He's sick right now." Hatori answered.

"Oh?" Yuki asked.

"Yeah, or else he would have been here. He wanted to come, but I told him to say put or else he'd get everyone else sick." Hatori replied.

"Oh, I wonder if I should check on him? Besides, he's done it for me so many times." I said to Hatori.

"Alright, but you can't stay long." Hatori said as I got up to get changed.

"Thank you, Hatori-san! I'll be ready in a minute!" I said as I grabbed a pink frilly dress and went to get dressed.

When I walked downstairs, Hatori was waiting for me and I noticed all the guys kind of gasped as I walked past.

"You look nice, Akito will be happy to see you. I'll have her back as soon as possible." Hatori said as we walked out the door to go to Akito's house.

When we arrived, I took off my coat and walked to Akito's room and went in. I walked over to his bed and knelt down next to him.

"Akito?" I whispered as he slowly opened his eyes and then his eyes lit up and he smiled at me.

"Risa! What are you doing here?" Akito asked.

"I came to visit you. Hatori told me you were sick. I just had to come see if you were okay." I said as Akito took my hand.

"Oh, thank you. But you shouldn't have, I heard you weren't feeling well. Are you feeling better?" Akito asked.

"Yes. Kyo made me some delicious meso soup and nice warm rice balls." I said happily.

"That's good. I'm glad they are taking good care of you." Akito said.

I sat on the end of his bed, and then Akito got cold; I lay down next to him to warm him up. He was facing me and I closed my eyes when I felt Akito's hand stroking my hair and I opened my eyes and he moved closer and kissed me. His lips were warm and soft and I felt how much Akito felt for me.

We kissed passionately before Akito suddenly was on top of me and we became one.
