Tohru stared dumbly at Akito. Did she just hear that right? Akito wanted her to stay with him for one night but is that all he wanted from her? She really didn't mind talking and seeing him from time to time but stay with him for a night? Just her and him in a room? Is that a right thing to do after all those stories she's been hearing about him? No... no...

She must not judge people yet, especially when she hasn't even known him that well yet.

Tohru turned around to face Akito. Akito gripped tightly on her shoulder, afraid that she will leave him. Akito slowly wrapped his arms around her shoulder and leaned down to her ear.

"Please stay" whispered Akito.

Tohru's eyes soften at the small and warm tone of his voice. He sounded scared and lonely. It was like he was begging her to stay but that couldn't be right, Akito never begs. Tohru accidentally pulled back a bit. Sensing her action, Akito pulled her into a tighter embrace.

"Please Tohru..." whispered Akito.

Tohru brought both of her hands up to Akito's back and rubbed gently.

"Un... Hai i will stay" replied Tohru.

Akito smiled and released her from his embrace. Tohru stared up at Akito and was lost in his eyes. They were different, she never saw those eyes before. They look soft? shiny? innocent? She couldn't tell but she was positive that those eyes meant happiness. Why would Akito be that happy about her staying?

She smiled at Akito before pulling him out into the garden. Akito just stared at her as she pulled him out into his garden. She said yes and that was all he wanted to hear from her. He wouldn't know what to do if she said no, maybe he would accidentally hurt her because of his uncontrollable anger but that won't happen because she is there. She does things without knowing and yet it is the right thing. How would the others react when they find out that she had agree to stay with him for one night? Maybe he should ask her to twist the truth a bit by telling them that she is staying at Hatori's place. He'll discuss this with her later when....

His thought was interrupted when Tohru released his hand and started pulling the kimono up. Akito stared confusingly at her sudden action.

"What's wrong?"

Tohru looked shyly up at Akito and pointed to the hem of the kimono.

"I'm sorry Akito-san but it's my fault that it's getting dirty so if i try walking while holding this then...."

Akito frowned again. He was frowning a lot lately but that didn't mean that he was angry with her. It was his fault too, he said that he would resolve that problem later for her but he forgot. Akito bent down and grabbed the hem of the kimono from Tohru's hand.

"Remember i told you that i don't like this kimono?"

"Hai but still..."

"So you won't have to worry much but we will still have to do something about this before you trip and hurt yourself"

Tohru looked down at Akito and nodded. He does care, who said that he doesn't? Akito looked around as he tried to think of something to help him in this situation. Nothing but plants he thought.

"Ummm, Akito-san?"

Akito quickly looked at her and frowned again.

"Call me Akito from now on"

"But i c... can't"

"I called you by your first name so i would like you to call me by my first name too but without the san"

Tohru slowly opened her lips to try out the word she had never dared to say. To call someone by their name without san or Kun was something she never tried before.

"Akito...s..."

Akito quickly tugged her hand and shook his head. Taking a second go, Tohru bit her lip and tried again.

"Akito....."

Akito smiled and nodded.

"What is it?"

"Well, i could always hold the kimono up while walking. It's no bother at all"

Akito narrowed his eyes at the suggestion. She did tries doing that before but that would mean that she will have to be holding that kimono up all the time throughout their walk. But there wasn't any other choice.

"If that's what you want then okay but tell me if you change your mind okay?"

Tohru nodded as she began scooping up the hem of the kimono. Akito stared at her as she happily held onto the kimono.

[She is just too sweet and kind... is it possible that she is always like this? Just too perfect....]

Akito's eyes shot wide open as Tohru carelessly tripped over a small mound of dirt. As quick as he could, he stretched out his arms and caught her by the waist. Tohru stared confusingly at Akito as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She was just walking when she stumbled upon a small mound of dirt but that was all, she wasn't going to fall or trip over. Tohru smiled and placed her hands on Akito's arms.

"Did Akito think that i was going to fall and hurt myself?"

Akito narrowed his eyes and soften them.

"I saw you trip"

Tohru shook her head and giggled.

"I only stumbled, i wasn't going to fall or anything. My balance was still there but i'm sorry to have made Akito worried and thank you for catching me even if i wasn't falling"

Akito blushed lightly as he thought about what she had just said. He mistook the whole thing.... and he was actually worried about her. He didn't even know what was going on until his body took action by itself. She wasn't even falling but still he was there to catch her.

Tohru lightly tapped his shoulder, bringing his attention back to her.

"It's alright now Akito-san, i'm not going to fall anymore"

Akito shook his head as she called him Akito-san.

"No Akito-san remember Tohru?"

Tohru shyly looked up at Akito and winced.

"But i can't, that came out naturally"

"Well then, i will have to do something about that then"

"What do you mean?"

"Every time you call me Akito-san then i won't talk to you until you realise that you have to call me by Akito only"

Tohru stared at Akito confusingly. So Akito won't talk to her unless she calls him by Akito only. That is going to be hard for her but if that's what Akito going to do then she can't say anything about it. Tohru nodded and smiled.

"Hai Akito, i will try"

"Don't try"

"Ummm..... HAI!"

Akito grinned and patted Tohru on the head. He released his arms around her and stepped back. That Kimono was still too big on her and he would have to do something about it before she would really hurt herself for real. Akito brought his hand towards his temple as he began to think of an idea. Well the only thing he could think of right now was a piggyback. He was still weak and ill from the previous sickness but he was positive that he had enough strength to carry her.

Tohru was just busying herself by picking up the kimono again when she had that strange feeling of someone looking at her so she stopped what she was doing and glanced up. To her surprise it was Akito's beautiful eyes that was gazing at her. She stared at his eyes and started to blush as she noticed that his gaze was still fixed on her. She tried blinking but his eyes wouldn't stop what it was still doing. It was luring her in, inviting her to be near them. Tohru smiled nervously trying to get Akito's attention of what he was doing.

Akito blinked a few times as he noticed her nervous smile. He was making her nervous by his constant stare, it was on purpose and he didn't regret it at all. She was a pleasure to look at and the things he said a long time ago about how ugly she was, well he took that back. She may not be hot and sexy but she is sweet and pretty. He never ever did take much interest in girls until now but his interest will be only on her.

Tohru gasped in shock as Akito advanced forward and turned around. Tohru was about to ask him what he was doing when Akito crouched down and turned around to look at her.

"Come, I will piggyback you"

Tohru crouched down and looked at him. Piggyback? Why?

"Why Akito? You're still weak, i can't let you carry my weight around"

"Don't be silly, i'am after all a male. Males are strong so get on"

"But you're still sick!"

"I'm not" Lied Akito.

"You still are and i won't let you do this"

Akito frowned and grabbed her hands.

"I want to do this so please get on Tohru, i promise you that i won't get hurt"

"But...."

"No buts... you won't let me do this?"

Tohru bit on her lips as Akito kept his gaze on her. Akito sounded determined to do this, if that's what he wants then she had no choice again. She shouldn't disappoint him, he had kindly asked her to stay and gave her dinner so it will be rude to upset him by disagreeing with what he wants.

Tohru nodded and gave Akito a shy smile. This was the first time she had ever agreed on anyone but her mother to piggyback her. It's embarrassing and only her mother made her feel comfortable. Taking a deep breath, Tohru stood up and positioned herself behind Akito while firmly holding his shoulder. Taking another deep breath, Tohru wrapped both her arms around Akito's neck and held onto him like she was glomping him from behind.

Akito grinned as she finally gave in and started to hug him from behind. He could feel her arms wrapped around hi neck as her tiny body cling onto his back. He quickly allowed both her legs to slide across his waist as he firmly gripped her legs. Making sure that she was well secured on his back, Akito stood up surprisingly with ease. Akito couldn't believe that Tohru was this light! This won't be a problem at all he thought as he started to walk slowly on the pavement.
