Breaking Through

Summary: When Akito unexpectedly decides to stay at Shigure's for a while, an old friend appears. She's more than happy to help out her friends, with their... problems. Maybe she can help Tohru to chip off the ice around Akito's heart, and break through.
"This is Katrina. She'll be staying here for a while, she recently moved into town and needs a place to stay." Katrina smirked at Akito, things were about to get interesting.
"Is it true you and Tohru were childhood friends?" Shigure asked as he took a bite of his breakfast. Katrina nodded.
"Yes, but that was years ago. Thank you for letting me stay here."
"Any friend of Tohru-kun's is a friend of ours." Shi-san smiled broadly.
"Is there something wrong, Akito?" Tohru asked, noticing the frown on his lips.
"Akito's not too fond of me." The ebony-haired girl mumbled, eating some rice.
"You know each other?" Kyo asked, looking confused. Katrina paused before answering, hoping Akito would do the honors.
"We were friends in our earlier years. For a while I-"
"Shut up!" Akito yelled.
"Sheesh." The girl rolled her eyes. "I was just trying to explain."
"Stupid girl." Akito muttered as he went back up the stairs.
"Akito-san, you really should eat something." Tohru stated wearily. The response was a slammed door.
"His health has been deteriorating lately." Hatori commented. "A few weeks he got really sick."
"Gosh, is he okay?" The always concerned Tohru inquired. The Sohma family doctor nodded. "Oh my, we're gonna be late for school!" She exclaimed, taking notice of the time the nearby clock displayed. Kyo and Yuki stood up and grabbed their school belongings, then followed Honda-san out the door.
"I guess I should finish my story, my editor's been leaving more messages than I can handle." Shigure sighed as he headed towards his office to whip out the final chapters. Hatori, being the responsible adult he is, decided to clear the table and do some dishes; it was the least he could do as a guest in someone else's house. Having begun, he glanced at Katrina.
"What're you planning for Akito?" He let his query slip out carefully, causing the girl to smile.
"I'm just here to help." She shrugged innocently.
"And what is your idea of help?" Hatori inquired, knowing the teen was up to something.
"I wanna set Akito straight."
"How so?"
"I'm going to make the cold-hearted jerk realize his feelings for Tohru-kun of course. I've known them both since they were young. I know how Akito works, and how he feels, what it takes for him to listen to someone, and what it takes for him to love someone." She said coolly.
"You were his girlfriend once, weren't you?" Hatori asked, becoming more interested in her involvement with the clan head.
"For a while I was. Once I met Tohru at school, I kinda drifted apart... from Akito. I had still loved him, but he got jealous. He said Tohru was taking me away from him. It ended in a fight, and I never saw him again." Katrina popped a bubble with her recently found piece of bubble-gum. "He even told me that he loved me once, but anyway... I talked to Momiji-kun the other day, and he told me you and Akito would be staying here for a while. I decided to come too. I gave him back the gift he'd given me so long ago, I hope he gives it to Tohru. She's really a nice girl, maybe she can be more devoted that me."
"How do you know Akito's feelings?" Hatori wondered aloud. "Spending time with a person doesn't unlock all their secrets."
"Well... I've kinda been spying on him." She admitted blatantly. "I've seen him in the garden, I watch the smile on his face as he says Tohru's name. And Honda-san, her diary fell out of her brief-case at school several days ago. I knew it'd be sneaky to read it, but it's my royal duty as her friend to make sure everything's all right. I read a few pages, but that's all I needed to see. I've still got it in my jacket." She went to the coat rack and fished around in her jacket pocket for the desired item. She pulled out a hard cover baby-blue diary.
"You know it's wrong to go through people's stuff." The dragon sighed.
"Yeah... I know. I'll give it back to her later today. But mark my words, sometime soon I'm gonna get those two together, even if it kills me." Katrina smiled with a mischievous grin.
"What're your plans for those two? Akito's not going to admit any feelings for anyone just because you tell him too."
"That's why I have this." She held up the blue secret keeper. "He can't be the cruel, cold bastard he's grown to be in years past forever. He needs someone to chip the ice that froze around his heart after we broke up. He needs someone to break through the barrier. Sometime or another he's gonna have to confess that he loves the girl he once hated."
"I'm not sure it'll work, but I'm not against a change of scenery." Hatori replied. "I should go check on Akito." Katrina slipped the diary back into her jacket pocket.
"Oh, it'll work. I'll make sure of it."
