- Some where near Akito’s garden -

A lone figure sat quietly up in a tree as he listened to the conversation between the two figures in the garden. Eyes filled up with worries as the taller figure started to piggyback the smaller body. He lifted up his right leg, which were dangled across the thick, strong branch and brought it up to his chest.

[What is going on with that bastard? Is he plotting something with Tohru? Why is he being so kind to her? Why am I still here???!!! I need to do something and get her out of there!]

The figure quickly shoved his hand into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and a mobile. He wasn’t going to let that bastards have his fun with her, he knew Akito would be up to something but could he be wrong? He didn’t want to leave the situation continue any longer. It would be his fault if anything were to happen to her and all that time he was here watching it all. He brought the handkerchief up to his mouth while he dialled Hatori’s number.

The phone started ringing but after a minute no one picked up. The mysterious guy was about to hang up in rage when someone finally picked up on the other side.

“Moshi Moshi...” Replied a very sleepy Hatori

“Hello? This is Hatori?” Asked the mysterious guy

Hatori rubbed his eye at the muffled voice on the other end of the receiver. He was sleeping soundly and was having a really good dream about a picnic when there was a ringing noise across the lake, which he woke up to and found the phone ringing. But what woke him up more was the serious voice being muffled on the other side of the receiver.

“Hai, this is Hatori. May I ask who is speaking?”

The phone went silent as Hatori can hear his hesitation.

“Don’t worry, you don’t have to tell me who you are. Well what can I do to help you?” Asked Hatori

The mysterious guy glanced over to where Akito and Tohru were standing before.

“It’s Tohru, she’s with Akito at the moment. Get her out of there.” Replied the muffled voice.

Hatori’s eye shot open at the unexpected information that was given to him by this muffled voice. Hatori was about to ask how he knew about this and who was he when the phone hung up.

The reason how the mysterious guy knew about this was when he was making his way to the main gate to go shop for food, he spotted Tohru’s figure enter Akito’s house. It shocked him greatly at the courage she had, to visit Akito’s house by herself. He wanted to know why she was doing there so he decided to follow her but stopped when she entered his room. He panicked at first but then remembered there was a strong sakura tree situated on the outer side of Akito’s backyard, which offered great view of his garden and his room. No one will see him since the tree is really thick with blooming flowers and branches extending in all direction.

It was such a good location and a good place for views that even after he popped himself on the tree, passing members of the Sohma’s residence didn’t notice his presence. It was a worry to see nothing inside Akito’s room except darkness but that was soon washed away when both Akito and Tohru appeared on the veranda but Tohru somehow had one of Akito’s kimono on and that pissed him off. He was fine that Akito hadn’t touch Tohru yet but that was changed when he saw Akito offering Tohru a piggyback. It sent him raging at the thought of another man holding her.

He was also sad at that time that he will never have the chance of holding a girl in his arm or letting her hug him from the back without him changing. He was jealous. But he was always jealous whenever he saw a couple hugging. If he had a wish then he would of course wish for the curse to disappear and he could hold Tohru forever.

The sight of Akito piggybacking Tohru seemed rather unusual, especially for Akito but then again, Akito is a very strange guy. The scene of him piggybacking Tohru was enough for him, he didn’t want anything more to happen to Tohru. So he went to ring Hatori as he knew Hatori will get Tohru out of there safe and sound. All he needed to do now is sit and wait for Hatori’s arrival but he couldn‘t help giving Akito death stare as Akito smiled at Tohru. *·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*· ;.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*&m iddot;.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.&middo t;*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.& middot;*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*· ;.,.·*

- Hatori’s House -

Hatori stared confusingly at the beeping noise from the receiver, he wanted to know who was he and how did he know this. He was sure that it was one of the Sohmas but who? Pushing that thought away, he quickly jumped out of bed and grimaced at the still throbbing headache. But it was mush better then what he had before and he was thankful that Tohru had given him some sleeping pills to help him sleep.

Looking at the sea horse pillow, Hatori quickly got changed and ran down the stairs in hope that Akito haven’t done anything to her. What will be his excuse though for taking Tohru away from Akito? He had to come up with something good or else she might be hurt. If he were to be hurt by Akito then it won’t really matter much but if he were to hurt Tohru then he will be the one to blame and everyone will be upset.

Quickly as he can, Hatori ran out of his house and ran towards Akito’s mansion. He was having some trouble thinking of an excuse to pull her out from Akito’s grasp as he made it to the front door of Akito’s room.

[What am I going to tell him? I don’t want Tohru to get hurt if I say something wrong and why is she there in the first place though? We all made it clear that she was not to see Akito by herself. And that guy from before, was he following her? If he was then why didn’t he go save her himself?]

Hatori swayed a bit from all his thinking and pushed them all aside so that he can deal with this situation better. He could always say that Shigure wanted Tohru home and that everyone was looking for her and that she should go home straight away.

Nodding at the best excuse he could make at the moment, Hatori reached out his right hand to knock while the other hand snuggled into his white coat’s pocket. *·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*&middo t;.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*& middot;.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.&midd ot;*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,. ·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*&middo t;.,.·*

- Akito’s Backyard -

Tohru smiled at his answer. He liked lily flowers too? She never knew that, she thought his type would be cherry blossom or something else that grew on tall trees. Guess she was wrong then.

Akito walked slowly over to the veranda and slid Tohru off his back. He was getting tired from all the talking and the walking. Tohru stared confusingly at Akito and panicked as she realized that he was tired.

“Gomen Akito! I didn’t know that Akito was tired! I so sorry! I shouldn’t have let Akito carry me in the first place!” Cried Tohru.

Akito just shook his head and motioned her to sit down.

“No, I just need a rest because I'm just tired from lack of sleep” Lied Akito.

Tohru was about to continue her sentence when a knock was heard.

“Who is it?” Yelled Akito.

“It’s Hatori”

“Come in”

Hatori slowly slid the door open to see Tohru and Akito sitting on the veranda. He had a surprised look on his face but it disappeared straight away and neither Tohru nor Akito got a glimpse of it. But he couldn’t help thinking about the kimono Tohru was wearing, it was one of Akito’s favourite. He never would have imagined it on anyone else beside Akito.

“What is it Hatori? Can’t you see that I'm busy with Tohru here?”

Hatori glanced from Akito to Tohru, who sat there in a kimono looking un-harmed.

“I’m here to take Tohru home, everyone’s been looking for her.”

“Is that so? Are you sure that everyone’s been looking for her? Or are you the only one who wanted to take her away from me?” Replied Akito in a cold tone.

Hatori smoothed his hair back and puffed out a sigh, he was about to answer when Akito waved his hand and stood up.

“Take her, I'm done playing with her. I’m tired now, leave me so I can sleep.”

Tohru stared confusingly at Akito, she thought that he wanted her to stay? Did he change his mind already? Tohru didn’t want to question Akito about his decision so she just kept quiet to hear the outcome.

“So I can take her now then?”

“Yeah yeah, that’s what I said so just take her. Don’t say anything and just go.”

Hatori motioned Tohru to come over as Akito slowly slid beneath his thick blanket and buried his head underneath the blanket. Tohru stood up quietly and crept slowly to Hatori where he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the hallway and slid the door shut.

“Why were you with Akito? You know that he’s very dangerous and that he can harm you?”

Tohru looked at the worried look in Hatori’s eyes. He was really worried about her, she didn’t want anyone to worry about her. It was her fault for coming to Akito alone in the first place.

“I..I...just wanted to give him the Valentine’s Day gift. Everyone should get one, it shows that I care for everyone. I’m sorry that I made Hatori worry”

Tohru looked away and was about to cry at the trouble she made for Hatori when a hand held her shoulder.

“No it’s okay Tohru, I was worried but I want you to not go to Akito alone anymore. I don’t want you to get hurt and no one to know about it.”

Tohru nodded and smiled.

“I will Hatori-san but I'm glad Hatori-san didn’t get mad at me. Oh! but Hatori-san is sick! He shouldn’t be out of bed!” Cried Tohru

Hatori grimaced at the throbbing pain in his head again, it took him quite a lot of energy to keep a straight face in front of Akito and not wince from time to time at the headache.

“I’m going back to sleep now, come back to my house and I get Shigure to come and pick you up”

“No I can’t do that! I don’t want to bother Shigure-san in coming to get me, I can walk home by myself!”

Hatori didn’t want to make the conversation longer since he can’t even concentrate on the door in front of him. Hatori grabbed Tohru’s wrist and pulled her out of Akito’s house and pulled her to his house.

“No, Shigure will come and get you. This headache is getting worse so please just do what I say and make it more easy for me.”

He didn’t mean to sound rude but he couldn’t take the dizziness anymore, he need to go back to sleep quickly. Tohru didn’t want to make it worse for Hatori so she kept quiet as he lead her to his house.

Once they got to Hatori’s house, Hatori made a turn to his bedroom and made it clear to her to call Shigure and tell him to come and pick her up. Tohru just kept quiet and smiled. After Hatori was gone, Tohru crept over to where his bedroom was and listened quietly to his footstep as it slowed down and stopped as he jumped into bed and slid under his thick blanket. Tohru waited patiently till all the noise stopped and a slightly loud snoring swept over. She really didn’t want Shigure to come and pick her up because she knew he was busy and she really didn’t want to bother him. So she decided to just walk home without letting Hatori know.

Taking the chance to leave, Tohru quietly crept across the room to where the sliding door was and opened it slowly. She squeezed her body through the small gap and shivered as cold breeze washed against her body. It would have been okay if she had the kimono on but she took it off when they got back to Hatori’s place. Hatori just laid the kimono on his chair and said nothing else, it was like he understood what had happened.

Tohru shivered again at the cold, harsh wind. She really was cold and it was going to be a bad thing since she is very fragile and can easily get sick. She really didn’t want to get sick now and get everyone worried about it, it was her also her duty to cook for Shigure, Kyou and Yuki. If she were to get sick then she wouldn’t be able to cook for them and it would make her feel so bad if they were to cook for themselves because of her.

Tohru made up her mind as she squeezed her body through the sliding door again and was happy to be in the presence of warmth again. Tohru scanned the dimmed room for anything that can warm her up for the journey home. Her eyes landed on the green kimono Akito gave her. She quickly looked away and shook her head, she wasn’t going to take Akito’s kimono. However, after a few more scan around the room, she let her head dropped in defeat. There was nothing else that she can use except for Akito’s kimono. She didn’t want to go into Hatori’s room and find a jumper or a blanket or anything else that could warm her because she could accidentally wake Hatori up.

Tohru grabbed the kimono and quickly wrapped her body with it. It was so warm that she regretted wrapping it around her body, she didn’t want to be too attached to it. After scooping up the hem of the kimono, Tohru crept over to the door again and squeezed through the gap. She could have widen then gap a bit more but the thought of Hatori’s house filled with cold wind made her stop.

Tohru slid the door shut and slipped her shoe on. She shivered again as the wind swept through her hair making it dance along her smooth skin. It felt like her hair was whipping her as it hit against her skin. Ignoring the stinging feeling of her cold hair whipping her cheek, Tohru slowly wore the kimono on properly and tightened it. She should have worn it properly while she was in Hatori’s house but she didn’t want to waste time adjusting the kimono on her.

Snuggled against the kimono, Tohru walked of Hatori's veranda and down the path. She was too fixated on making herself warm and the hem of her kimono that she didn’t notice a big tree filled with beautiful flowers. She was passing right under the tree and if only she would look up then she would have seen a figure sitting way up high, gazing at her intently. *·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*&mid dot;.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.· *·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.&mi ddot;*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·. ,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*&mid dot;.,.·*   =[ End of Chapter Eight ]=   *·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·* ·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.&mid dot;*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·., .·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*&midd ot;.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·*·.,.·* ·.,.·*
