Akito

I do not own Fruits Basket. POST ANIME.

"You know, you have to tell Akito sometime that you and Tohru are going to be married," Shigure said to Yuki one day at breakfast.

"And why the hell would I do that?" Yuki replied.

"It might be better if he heard it from you two, rather than from someone else."

"Who says he will find out?"

"He is the head of the family, he will find out." Yuki was silent. He looked down at his hands. "You know it is true," Shigure added.

Yuki put his head in his hands and quietly said, "I know."

Tohru then walked happily into the room. "Hi, guys!" she said cheerfully.

"Um, Tohru, I need to go out. Stay here, and stay away from Akito from now on," Yuki said after looking up at her.

"You're going to see him, aren't you?" Tohru's cheeriness left her.

"Yes; I must."

"I think I will leave you two alone," Shigure said, standing up and leaving the room.

After Shigure had left the room, Tohru went and sat in the spot where he sat. "Why must you go!?" Tohru said with tears in her eyes.

"It will be better for him to hear about our engagement from me than anyone else."

"Let me come with you!"

"I already told you that I don't want you to."

Tohru got very sad and scared. She looked to her hands and folded them on her lap. "If you feel that you have to do this, then do it. Just…be careful."

Yuki moved over so he sat next to her. He then took her chin in his hand and held her head up so she could see him. "I will," he said before kissing her.

Later that day, Yuki went to the main house. He approached Akito's room. "Akito," he said, entering the room.

"Yuki, come in," Akito said calmly, not looking at Yuki behind him.

Thoughts of the past ran through Yuki's mind; the beatings, that cursed little room. He wanted to run, but he had to do this. Yuki walked into the room, leaving the door open, so if something happened, someone could run in to help. Yuki knew he had to tell Akito about the engagement, but that did dull his fears much. "Akito, I have to tell you something about me…me and…Tohru Honda," he said nervously.

"What, what do you have to tell me?!" Akito's temper was rising.

"We are going to be married."

Akito bit his lower lip in anger, turned to face Yuki, and hit him across the face. Yuki was hit so hard that his bottom lip began to bleed. "How dare you?!" Akito yelled in fury.

Yuki began to get angry. With his courage rising, he shouted, "'How dare I' what? Fall in love!"

"Get out! Get out of my sight!" Akito yelled, pointing to the door. Yuki ran out.

When Yuki got home, the first thing Tohru noticed was his bleeding lip. "I knew I should have gone with you! Yuki, I am so sorry," Tohru said.

Kyo was in the corner, chuckling. "Have something to say, stupid cat?" Yuki said to him.

"Kyo, this isn't funny!" Tohru told him. Kyo immediately stopped his laughing. "Let me take care of your lip, Yuki." Tohru grabbed a cloth and began to clean the wound on Yuki's lip.
