An Obsession with Sex
Chapter 7: Akito finds out and Rin meets Ako…
Tohru gazed out the window, her hand was covering up a band aid that covered the punctures in her neck. It had only been four days since the incident at the Sohma Lake house, and she couldn't stop thinking about it. The scene seemed to play in her head over and over again like a broken record, sometimes, it made her want to cry. At first she didn't believe the Sohma's about their curse, but the pieces were fitting together perfectly. Tohru sighed and glanced over to where Yuki's seat was, he had been absent since the day they returned from spring break.
DING…DING…DING…
The bell sounded for last period and Tohru stood up. She was drowsy and everything seemed to be a blur.
"Tohru?" She glanced up to see Yuna hovering over her. "Are you okay?" Tohru just nodded lightly and made her way to the door. Since Yuna and Tohru had the same class they walked together to the gym.
"I don't think I'm gonna do gym today…" Tohru leaned up against the wall as she waited for her friend to open the door to the locker room.
"I agree, you don't look too good, you're so pale and you have the biggest bags under your eyes!" Yuna placed her hand on her hip.
"Yea, I don't feel so hot, maybe I'm coming down with something?" Tohru slowly walked into the room and sat down on a bench.
"Okay girls, time to go out!" The coach yelled, it echoed through Tohru's head as if she had the worst hangover in her life. Yuna grabbed the smaller girl by the arm and pulled her into the gym, where she sat her down on a chair and explained to the coach that Tohru wasn't feeling good. After warm-ups Tohru saw a shape coming towards her, but she wasn't able to recognize it.
"Tohru?" She blinked the haze away and saw Haru standing in front of her and Kyo was right behind his cousin.
"Why are you here? Aren't you younger than me?" Tohru asked the white haired boy.
"Well, yea, but I had to come in here to get you."
"Why?" Tohru tilted her head, she was so dizzy that when her head went to the side it made her whole body move and fall out of the chair and onto the floor. Kyo picked her up and sat her back down.
"Hatori is here to pick you and Yuki up. So that you can baby sit Kisa. And I heard you invited Yuki so, uh…yea…they're both waiting in the car.
"Oh…okay." Tohru stood up and walked down the hall with Haru behind her. He had to help her up a couple of times when she lost her balance and fell to the ground. Finally Tohru got in the car and she waved goodbye to Haru as the car drove further away from the school.
"How are you?" Hatori asked looking in the rear view mirror to see the girl.
"I feel much better than a minute ago." She glanced over to Yuki who was watching the scenery pass by out the car window. "Yuki?" He turned to look at her.
"Yes?"
"Why haven't you been at school? Were you sick?"
"No, I was just very tired."
"You know you didn't have to help me baby sit."
"I know."
"………"
"I wanted to."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure, I love watching Kisa."
"Okay." Tohru smiled and Yuki smiled back at her. Soon the car was filled with conversation between the two, and sometimes Hatori would join their discussion. After a while they came to a stop in front of the Sohma main house, where there were two servants standing outside at the front gate. Tohru and Yuki got out of the car and said their goodbyes to Hatori. Once he was gone they were escorted to the room where Kisa was.
"Oneechan!" Kisa chimed and ran over to Tohru.
"Kisa!" Tohru took the younger girl in her arms.
"Hi Yuki…what are you doing here?"
"What, not excited to see me?" Yuki teased.
"NONONONONONONO!!!! I'm delighted to see you…I was just…"
"I know, I'm just playing." He smiled and gave her hug.
"Did you finish your homework?" Tohru asked as she took her sweater off.
"No…"
"Okay, then you cant play until it's all done."
"I know." Kisa ran over to the table and sat down to begin her homework. Yuki sat outside on the porch, listening to all the birds chirp and sing. Tohru made some tea and went to sit next to Yuki.
"Yuki…"
"Hnnn?"
"I promise…" Yuki looked at her confused.
"You…promise?"
"Yea, I promise I wont tell anyone about your family's curse." Yuki stared at her.
"Thank you…Tohru." She blushed lightly. "I'm…sorry…" he reached his hand up to her neck where the band aid was, and touched it softly. Tohru pulled back.
"it's okay, it's already healing." Suddenly a knock on the door made them whisk around to see who it was. Yuki's eyes went wide and Kisa flinched. Tohru, who didn't have a clue what was going on stared at the figure before her.
"Ah, Miss Tohru Honda." His voice was soft and gentle. His lips smiled but his eyes were cold and dark. "It's a
pleasure to finally meet you, I'm Akito Sohma."
"Oh, hello Akito sama." Tohru bowed to the man.
"You may call me Akito."
"And you may call me Tohru…if you like." She had heard how Akito was the head of the family, and that's how he wished to be treated. So she had to have the best manners and obey his wishes.
"I was wondering, if I may have a word with you." Akito glanced over to Yuki. "Yuki can watch Kisa." Yuki just nodded.
"Okay then." Akito turned and walked out the door, Tohru following.
"I don't like being here." Yuki said with a sigh.
"I know…" Kisa sighed also and went back to work.
Tohru followed the dark man down a hallway and into a room, he slid the door shut quietly and walked over to the bed. Where he sat down, crossing his legs.
"Please…have a seat." Tohru obliged and sat down on the bed next to him. (only place to sit in the room, which so happens to be Akito's room.) "May I ask a few questions?" She nodded.
"yes."
"Where do you work?" Tohru swallowed hard, not wanting to tell him she was a prostitute.
"I worked at the club, Hard Candy." She blushed with embarrassment when she saw him smirk.
"Oh? I'm a major guest there sometimes."
"I've heard." Akito took her hand and pulled her up. His hand rested on her lower back, he could feel her tense up.
"So, you're a prostitute?"
"I was a prostitute." He looked at her and then noticed the bandaid on her neck. He reached for it and began to pull it off.
"Stop…please." Tohru said as she stepped back.
"Stop?" Akito moved towards her. "That…sounded like an order." Tohru winced as he raised his hand to her cheek. "What? I'm not going to hurt you…" He moved his hand from her cheek to her neck where he finished peeling off the band aid. He gazed at the two tiny fang marks in her neck. "Well look at that…they've almost completely healed."
"Akito?" Tohru whispered as she stepped back.
"Who bit you?" Akito demanded.
"I don't know"
"You don't know? DON'T LIE TO ME! WHO BIT YOU!" Akito raised his voice.
"I don't…I don't remember." Suddenly his hand met her cheek, leaving a throbbing red mark.
"Tell me!" After a minute without a word he slapped her again, knocking her to the floor. Tohru sat there, not moving, with tears in her eyes. Akito got down on his knees so that his eyes met hers. "Fine, I'll refresh your memory." Akito took her wrists in one hand and held them above her head, she was too weak to move at all. Tohru watched as he opened his mouth to reveal his long protruding fangs.
"No…" She weakly whispered. Akito bit down into the holes that were already placed in her neck. She felt the warm sticky liquid trickle down her neck leaving a trail of dark red. Soon Akito pulled his fangs out and licked her neck clean of all the blood. Her chest heaved and her face was flushed, beads of sweat rolled down her body, almost making Akito want more. But he shook his head, riding his mind of the thoughts.
"So, it was Yuki. I can taste it in your blood." Akito released his grip. "I guess I'll have to talk with him later then." At that moment Shigure busted through the door with Hatori behind him. They ran over to the Tohru whom had fainted in Akito's arms. "She'll be fine." Akito snickered and walked out of his room…
Haru ran his fingers through Ako's light blue hair as he watched her sleep. They were on the roof of the school and had probably been there for hours. Haru's arm went numb from the pressure of the girls head, but he didn't mind. Besides Rin, Ako was the one he felt he needed to be with, he loved her and never wanted to let her go.
"Ha…Haru?" Ako blinked and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Hey!" Haru propped himself up on his elbows as Ako climbed onto him and rested her head on his chest.
"Why am I so tired?" She let out a huge yawn and closed her eyes again.
"Were you up late again?" Haru asked as he wrapped his arms around her slender form and rested his head on the pavement.
"Well….not really. I was only up to 11:00 maybe? Haseo let me leave early." She looked up at Haru and stared into his eyes. They were a beautiful gray color and she found her self getting lost in them a number of times.
"Ako…"
"Yea?" His gentle look on his face turned serious. "is…everything okay?"
"Uh…yea I guess…I don't really like you working at Hard Candy." Ako's eyes went wide.
"How come?!"
"What! Do you really have to ask?"
"Well, I mean…Haru I can't just stop working there!" She climbed off of him and sat on her knees. Haru also got up.
"Why?" Ako sighed.
"Haru… it's the only way I can get money right now…besides…"
"You could work for sensei. He needs a maid. If you don't mind cleaning. And that way you can see Tohru and me more." She lowered her gaze.
"I …can't Haru."
"Why?"
"Because I can't! Okay!" tears welled up in her eyes and Haru scooted closer towards her.
"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to make you upset." He leaned closer to her and licked the tear away from her eye.
"I'm so sorry Haru!" She flung herself on to him and began to sob in his arms.
"May I ask…why you can't leave?"
"…….." Haru waited for her answer, and as she was about to say it the door to the roof opened. Haru's eyes went wide and Ako turned around to see their un-invited guest.
"Rin…." Haru whispered and he stood up immediately.
"Rin? Who's Rin?" Ako grabbed his hand.
"Oh, am I interrupting something?" Rin smirked.
"Why are you here?" Haru asked still in shock. The last time he had seen her was the day he turned into black Haru and…well you know what happened.
"What? You didn't miss me? Aw, Haru, that hurts." Ako stood up beside Haru.
"Who is she Haru? How do you know her?" Rin began to laugh and Ako looked for an answer in Haru.
"I'm Rin Sohma, Haru's ex-girlfriend." Ako's eyes went wide. "And you're Ako Takeshi, Haru's present girlfriend…isn't this interesting." Rin walked over to Ako and grabbed her wrist.
"owww…" Ako winced as Rin dragged the girl to the far side of the roof.
"Rin! Stop it! Leave her alone!" As Haru was getting ready to follow the girls, before he even made a step Rin turned to him.
"If you move…I'll tell her what we did." Haru stopped dead in his tracks.
"Don't hurt her…" Rin smirked and pushed Ako into the fence that surrounded the roof top.
"Ako…you really like Haru don't you?"
"yes…" Rin moved closer to the girl so that her lips were right at her ear.
"You know…he has a secret that he's been hiding from you…" Ako didn't say a word. "It's sad really…that you like him so much, but he can't even tell you something as simple as that. I remember…he used to tell me everything."
"Rin stop!" Rin pushed Ako's hair away from her neck.
"Everyone…has their secrets, when Haru wants to tell me, he'll tell me."
"Are you so sure? How much do you trust your boy?"
"I trust him…with my life." Haru's heart jumped and he fell to his knees. "Haru?"
"He's fine." Rin lifted her finger to Ako's neck and slowly made a small slit in it with her nail, making her bleed.
"I think…you may find out what his secret is now…" Rin let her go and walked over to Haru. He was hunched over on his knees breathing heavily. She grabbed him by his hair and pulled his head up so that his eyes met hers. "Enjoy!" She let go and walked to the door, "it was nice meeting you Ako." And with that she left them there.
"Haru? Are you hurt?" She wrapped her hand around her throat to try and stop the bleeding. Ako ran over to him and sat on her knees. "Haru?" after a moment he lifted his head.
"I'm fine.." Ako saw the sharp fangs slide out from his gums, his eyes turned black and claws extended from his fingers.
"What's…happening?" Ako fell back on her back.
"Shhhhh…you'll be fine, I wont hurt you…much!" Black Haru leapt for her but she rolled to her side. Ako stood up and ran for the door. She wiggled the knob but it wouldn't open.
"Haru please! Stop!" She slid down to the foot of the door as Haru moved in closer. Soon he was on his knees.
"Ako…" She noticed his eyes went back to normal and his claws retracted, but his fangs stayed. "I love you…"
"I…I know." She closed her eyes and suddenly her body was overwhelmed with ecstasy. Her chest began to heave as she heard Haru taking in her blood. "Ha…Haru!" He removed his fangs from her neck and they disappeared.
"Are you okay?" She kept her eyes closed but reached her hand out and placed it on his chest. Haru smiled lightly and leaned in to kiss her.
"Haru…"
"Hnnn?"
"I love you." He caressed her cheek and she opened her eyes.
"I know." He kissed her again lightly on her forehead and watched as she fell to sleep.
