Rated: R because of sexual…uhm…language
Akito-san: Part 1"Akito-san?" Tohru stepped lightly into the dark room. She walked slowly toward the closed doors and reached out to open them.
"You, again?" The voice came slightly from her right and she jumped.
"You scared me, Akito-san." Tohru laughed. "Of course it's me."
"I don't know why you bother to come." Akito reached over her to open the doors with leisure. Light filtered into the room and Tohru blinked at its sudden brightness.
"Akito-san, the fresh air will do you good." Tohru said, encouragingly as she turned to the head of the Soumas. The young man slowly walked out the doors and sat on the porch. "Your garden is beautiful. I could stay here forever."
"I'd rather you not." Akito responded, coldly.
"Didn't you ever have any friends, Akito-san?" Tohru asked.
"No business of yours."
"Unh…hai."
They became silent as they listened to the birds' songs and the rustle of the breezes running through the trees.
"There was one time." Akito began. He glared at her and Tohru blinked. "Sit down." He said, impatiently. Tohru obediently sat down near him and Akito continued his tale.
"Yuki was followed home by a young girl. She stood alone in the courtyard, staring at the cherry blossoms. When she saw me, she turned and waved."
"I had never seen someone as cheerful as her. Although I felt sadness upon her and she wasn't happy at all. But her act was so convincing that I was disgusted by her behavior. Later, they took her away to have her memory erased."
Akito paused to look at the young girl with brown hair sitting in front of him. "That little girl reminds me of you. Bad things will happen to you too."
"Yes, but good things always come out of it." Tohru said as she focused her brown eyes on him. He held her gaze evenly before she blushed and looked away. "Akito-san, I have to go. I'll visit you tomorrow."
"Hopefully it will rain." He smirked.
"Yes, I like the rain." She smiled, cheerfully. Akito glowered at her as she picked up her bag and hopped lightly off the porch. She turned and waved at him while humming as she disappeared around the house. Moments later, a small smile crossed the lips of the boy with dark hair. His eyes closed as he settled peacefully in the sun.
"Konnichiwa." The girl bowed.
"No outsider is allowed to come in here." He said, ignoring her greeting.
"The cherry blossoms are very pretty." The girl smiled as she ignored his comment.
"Hai." He smirked slightly.
"Ano—would you be my friend?" She asked.
"No one would want to be friends with me." Akito said, lightly.
"No one wants to be my friend, either." She said, sadly. "They don't want anybody strange in their fruits basket. Especially an onigri."
"I like onigiri." Akito said, cautiously.
"Honto? I do too!" The girl said as she turned to him with a smile filled with sunshine.
On the porch, Akito sighed softly and his head titled back to lean against the house.
"Okaasan. I think the visit went very well today." Tohru said happily as she exited the Souma complex. "Akito-san was in a good mood." She glanced both ways before slowly making her way down the street. "He is getting healthier everyday."
"Meow."
"Hm?" Tohru glanced around at that sound. "Neko?"
"Meow."
"It's coming from the alley." Tohru turned into the corridor and looked around. "Neko?" A small orange cat with a white nose leapt out from underneath a box. "Kawaii." She knelt down to brush the cat's head with her fingertips.
"Ah, what do we have here?"
Tohru gasped and whirled around. Three men had entered the alley after her.
"Cute." The first man said while the two others nodded their heads.
"Ano…" Tohru blinked.
"Come with me." The first man said as he reached out. She turned to run but he grabbed her shoulder roughly.
"Help!" She screamed. The man quickly clamped his hand onto her mouth.
"Be a good girl and I won't hurt you." He breathed. Tohru saw the glint of a blade out of the corner of her eye.
"I heard her, Haru. Tohru screamed." Footsteps ran past the alley.
Momiji. Tohru thought desperately. Tears fell from her eyes and the man shoved her roughly against the wall. His tongue slid from her ear to her collarbone. With his other hand, he reached up under her skirt and grazed her thigh. "Momiji!" Tohru screamed. The man roughly backhanded her.
"I told you to shut up." The man snapped. "I'll just cut your tongue out."
"Iie." She whispered in fear.
"Insolent dolts." A new voice remarked. The three men turned around in surprise and the first two went flying. The man with his hand on Tohru quickly grabbed her and pressed his knife to her throat.
"Akito-san." Tohru gasped as the knife threatened to pierce her skin.
"Let her go." The young man ordered.
"Heh. It seems like I have the treasure." The man said as he licked her cheek. Tohru clenched her eyes in disgust.
"Akito!" Momiji and Hatsuharu appeared at the entrance behind Akito.
"Tohru! Let go of Tohru!" Momiji yelled. Akito suddenly ran toward the man with blinding speed. The man fell to the ground from a blow to her head and Tohru was let go. He caught her as she fell and straightened her.
"Daijobu?" He growled.
"Daijobu." She whispered before wrapping her arms around his neck. She buried her face into his shoulder. "Arigatou, Akito-san." Hatsuharu and Momiji exchanged glanced before quickly sneaking away.
"Akito-san, how did you—" Tohru began before she stiffened in shock. The man had gotten up from the ground and was running off.
"It's all right. He's gone." Akito told her. Something wet slowly seeped into his sleeve and he raised his arm into the light. Blood. "BAKAYARO!" The bastard had stabbed Tohru when he had gotten off the ground. He handed Tohru to the arms of a bewildered cow and ran full speed toward the villain.
The man had reached the opening of the alley when he was dragged back inside. He gave a shriek that was quickly muffled and was followed by a sickening crack. The man fell limply onto the ground, his eyes still opened and Akito made his way back to the others.
"Tohru. Tohru. Does it hurt, Tohru?" Momiji cried.
"Don't cry, Momiji. She will be fine." Hatsuharu soothed.
"She is bleeding! Tohru!" Momiji exclaimed.
"Get Hatori." Akito ordered as he knelt down next to them. Momiji, with wide eyes nodded and ran off. "Honda-san." He touched her hand.
"Akito." Tohru gasped, painfully. "It hurts." She whimpered.
"Don't worry. Hatori is coming." He reassured her. She gave a small nod before falling unconscious.
Hatsuharu watched this exchange with interest. Akito. He thought as he gazed at the clan head. You do have a heart, after all.
