.:. Shigure's P.O.V .:.
I wait until I'm sure Hatori's asleep before I get up to leave. "I'll make sure you never have to go back to the main house," I whisper, "Not if you don't want to."
I leave my room and enter the kitchen, finding Tohru and, surprisingly, Kyo; fixing leek soup. I let them know that Hatori's sleeping and that I'm heading out.
Tohru-Kun opens her mouth to reply and Kyo tries to shush her. He fails. "Shigure-San, are you sure that's a good idea? Shouldn't you be resting too?"
I look at her worried face and smile, patting her head. "Don't worry about a thing, Tohru-kun. I'll be back to be worried over by you just as soon as I can." I smile again. "But right now I need to let Akito know what's up with Hatori."
Tohru motions as if to make a retort, but just nods as Kyo puts his arm around her and steers her back to the soup.
I turn to leave and hear a muttered "be careful."
"Oh, Kyon-kichi," I think, smirking, "you really do care." Ah well, no time to dwell on that. Chuckle. I've got to get to Akito before… Well, before Hatori wakes up. I take a deep breath and walk to the main house.
.:. Akito's P.O.V .:.
I'm pacing my room when the head maid knocks and enters. "Is it That Woman again?" I ask.
She bows her head. "No, Akito-San, Shigure-San is here to see you."
Shigure? Here to see me? After disappearing for days? He certainly has some explaining to do. "Let him in." I answer, dismissing her. The door closes and I loosen my yukata, undoing the bindings on my chest. "Let Shigure see me as the woman I am." I think. "That ought to loosen his tongue." Smirk.
The door opens again and I turn to see Shigure, the dog. My dog. "Well?" I ask, as he remains both speechless and motionless. "What have you got to say for yourself?"
.:. Shigure's P.O.V .:.
I smile and kneel, ever the humble juuinishi dog. This, of course, infuriates Akito.
"Well, Shigure?
Answer me!"
She leans in, slapping me. She grabs my hair and uses it to pull my head back. "Where have you been?"
"Oh, you know me…" I reply lightly. "Some writing here, some visiting there…the time just pisses away." I smile up at her enraged face.
"No one's heard of you…or Hatori…for nearly a week!" Akito screams in my ear. "You…you were plotting against me with That Woman…weren't you?"
"Why, my dearest Akito, why would you question that?" I ask, all smiles.
"BECAUSE YOU SLEPT WITH HER!" Akito screams, slapping me hard. After a moment, I taste blood.
"Only because you slept with Kureno." I mutter under my breath, my smile momentarily fading to reveal my true self—a cruel inhuman being at the best of times.
"Is this the reason for your anger then?" I smirk, "You want me all to yourself?" I stand and walk up to her, easily undoing the belt of her yukata and allowing it to slip to the floor.
For a moment…all we do is stare in silence…that is, until she forcefully removes my own yukata.
