(Akito will be sometimes referred as a male here since Kagome doesn't know Akito's true gender)


Fruits Basket


Well...

'At least the front of café is fixed,' Kagome thought, 'Shippou-chan did not seem too surprised to find it in mangles when he finally came out.'

Of course the fox would be used to the weirdness that was content to find its way around her.

"It's surprisingly slow today, isn't it?" Yuki noted, seeing that he was the only one in the café other than Kagome, "I'm shocked that Aomine isn't here. Or Levi." He added.

"Aomine-sama is dealing with a basketball tournament and Levi-sama is attempting to get settled in with Gray-sama still," Kagome said, wanting to laugh at the latter two, "I am happy to see you again, Yuki-sama."

Yuki flushed slightly, taking a sip of his tea to try and hide the red tint to his skin. He then let out a sigh of content, rather happy that it was just the two of them for moment–

That is, until Kagome quickly jerked towards the entrance with narrowed eyes and a tense posture. However, Yuki could only freeze in horror when he noticed just who had walked into the café and it honestly felt as though his throat closed up.

"So, this is where you have been spending your free time, my dear Yuki?"

Kagome stared at the black-haired male before glancing back at Yuki, seeing that he seemed to be frozen on the spot at the sight of the new customer, 'Great,' She mentally sighed, feeling the divine aura emitting from this newcomer, 'Another God.'

"A-Akito," Yuki swallowed thickly, moving so that he was between the line of sight between Akito and Kagome, "What are you doing here?"

Akito sneered, narrowing her dark eyes at the disgustingly cutesy maid that seemed to enthralled Yuki so much. Strangely enough, there was something almost mesmerising about the girl and she stepped closer despite Yuki's pathetic attempt to stop her.

"I am Higurashi Kagome," She introduced herself, "Would you like tea, Master-sama?" Kagome asked cautiously, sensing the tense atmosphere, "Or coffee?"

"I wanted to know why Yuki was withdrawing from the family so much," Akito casually said, moving past Yuki, who was visibly shaking, and right into Kagome's personal space, "Now I can see why."

'I guess it's good that this God isn't grabbing my hands.' Kagome thought warily, not about to back down from the dark-haired male, which she could see that there was something... off about him that she could not place.

"Such a pretty face," Akito taunted, skimming her hand against Kagome's cheek, who simply frowned at the action, "I want to see it twist up in fear and agony," She lowered her mouth until it was right up against Kagome's ear, "Just looking at you makes me want to whip you until you writhe."

"I'm sorry," Kagome began, rather calm despite the words since she had heard such disturbingly similar things before, "This is a Maid Café, not a BDSM club," She stepped away from the hand on her cheek, "If you continue on with inappropriate actions, I will have to ask you to leave."

Akito leered, not sure why she was feeling so drawn towards this silly little girl in a maid uniform, but there was a brightness to the girl that she wanted to darken until she was nothing more than a sobbing mess.

"Should you be out without Hatori?" Yuki finally managed to push his fear down enough to step between the two, "You're looking very pale, Akito."

Perhaps Ayame had not blabbed to anyone that Kagome did not trigger a transformation?

"The same could be said for you, Yuki," Akito scoffed, annoyed that the rat was even brave enough to stand up against her, "I simply wanted to meet your little... friend here," She turned back to Kagome, "I am Sohma Akito. Remember it."

Kagome inclined her head, clearly seeing there was bad blood between Yuki and Akito and she wanted nothing more than to kick Akito out and comfort Yuki, but luckily, the former seemed to be on his way out on his own.

"It was nice meeting you, Kagome," Akito smirked, tilting her head back as she paused within the entrance, "I hope we can play again one day." And with that, she was gone and Yuki slumped down.

"Yuki-sama?" Kagome asked in concern, "Are you all righ–!?" She let out a noise of astonishment when Yuki suddenly wrapped his arms around her and trembled against her, "Yuki-sama?"

"I'm sorry, Kagome-san," Yuki whispered, "Please, just let me stay here for a minute." He wasn't sure what would happen now that Akito knew about Kagome, but he swore he would do anything within his power to protect her.

Anything.
