He and Aki awhile ago have a call from Hatori, telling the both of them that Aki can go and live now at Shigure. All of Aki's things are now at Shigure's house.


Kureno and Aki now stood in front of Shigure's House, Aki stop and face Kureno and smiled.


"Nii-chan, c'mon... I wanted you to meet Tohru-chan..." Aki said as Kureno shook his head yet smiled a little.


"Not now, Autumn. Not now..." he whispered as Aki knew what he was talking about. Him and Shigure haven't settle all the things they have too.


Aki nodded and smiled at him, "I suggest another date again... and I want to go next to the Amusement Park." she said as Kureno patted her head.


"And try to wander all the places, they have beautiful things and scenes you could learn..." she added as Kureno nodded, leaning to her and kisses her left cheek.


Once he leaved, Aki now stood in front of the paper door. Sliding it, she steps inside. "Tadaima!" she exclaimed as footsteps was heard rumbling around the floor, heading at her way.


"Aki-chan!" someone exclaimed, tackling her whole body.


Aki let out a surprised gasp, but then calmed down once she saw Tohru is the one hugging her. In a second, she could feel the bruises in her back being touch and she winced at it.


"T-Tohru-kun... c-can't breathe..." she said as Yuki's calm yet amuse demeanor was seen by Aki.


Tohru heard this and quickly pulled back but not before bowing a couple of times at Aki.


"M-mou... it's no big deal though..." she said as Shigure popped out at the side.


"Ahh, Aki-chan! You came back!!! How is your check-up now?" he asked as Aki smiled and nodded as she took off her white tennis shoes and place it on the cabinet at the side.


"Hatori said I'm fine, though he said as well not to stress myself..." she answered as they all went to the Dining Room.


Aki blinked noticing only Kyo, who is watching TV, on the room. "Where's Haru and Momiji?" she asked looking at Shigure who stood beside her.


"They went to the estate... you do know that they still live their." Tohru who was at the other side look at Aki.


"Aki-chan, I've copied all the notes we have... Me, Uo-chan and Hana-chan copied all the notes for you..." she said as Aki smiled at her.


"Domo..." Aki said as all of them sat in front of the small table at the center.


"Ah, I'm going to get our dinner..." Tohru said as Aki looked at her.


"Need help?" But Shigure look at Aki.


"Anou, can I talk to you alone, Aki-chan?" Shigure asked as Aki looked at him, even Kyo and Yuki seems to be interested at what Shigure seems to be thinking about.


Aki nodded as she and Shigure stood up and went to Shigure's Office Room, leaving Tohru, Kyo and Yuki at the Dining Room looking at them confused.


"What was that all about?" Kyo blurted out.


===


"What do you want to talk about?" Aki quietly asked, leaning at the wall near the door as Shigure sat on his black swivel chair.


"Did she DO it again?" he asked as Aki crosses her arms near her chest.


"As usual... bonding, as what she said..."


Shigure propped his elbow and leaned the back of his palm at his cheek. "The bruise is visible... in your left cheek..." he pointed out as Aki sighed sitting and leaning her back on the wall.


"Am I weak?" she asked softly, as she hugged her knees in front of her. She leaned her forehead at her knees, making her hair covered her face. She heard him sighed, frustratingly.


"I do think that I'm weak. I didn't have the guts... to tell kaa-san, that tou-san loves him more. That tou-san is really thankful for kaa-san..." she whispered softly, but Shigure heard all of what she says.


"And because I'm weak, kaa-san told me everything. I know everything now..." she said as she raises her head, her eyes look at Shigure. "Those dark secrets... you, Kureno nii-chan, nee-san, kaa-san and that cat has. Kaa-san told me all of it..." she uttered out, which made Shigure stop leaning at his hand and look at her shocked.


She sighed, "You don't have to be that shocked... Head of the Jyuunishi should know everything. You do know that, right?"


"Yuki told me, that you and Kureno dated awhile ago..." Aki smiled slightly, now leaning her chin at her knees.


"When will you and him settled all of your things? You do know who is really to be blame with... and it's not him... nor nee-san..." she reasoned out as Shigure chuckled softly, looking at her with those warm eyes.


"I know, but I guess we still don't have the guts to face each other. It's not the right time, though..." Shigure uttered, leaning his hand at his cheek again.


"He said, I'm starting to act now like my sister... if that continued more... please kick me out of your house and send me back to the estate..." she whispered, standing up and opening the paper door. She never bother to look now at Shigure's worried face.


"Aki-chan..."


===


As she walked out of Shigure's Office, she look up, yet some of her bangs shadowed her left eye. She saw Kyo standing near the stairs, and she sighed combing her hair with her hand. She stretched her arms and yawned, as she past Kyo who still stands.


"Oi," he called out as Aki stop, though she didn't face him.


"What?"


"You're being cold today..." Kyo said.


"You noticed? Nah, I'm just a bit sleepy today..." she answered, still not facing him. Tohru suddenly pokes her head with a smiled on her face.


"Aki-chan, Kyo-kun, dinner is ready!" Aki smiled and nodded at her as Tohru nodded and went back to the room.


"Might as well eat..." she uttered and went to the Dining Room, but stopped and looked at Kyo with a blank look.


"What are you waiting for, cat?"


===


Aki put down her plate and beamed a smile at Tohru, "Thanks for the food, Tohru-chan. That was really delicious!" she beamed as Tohru smiled and nodded.


"Thanks for the compliment!" Tohru answered as Yuki just smiles at the both of you.


Aki then looked at Yuki, "Ne, Yuki... can you help me to refrain all the lessons?" she asked as Yuki nodded.


"Hai, so, shall we go now?" Yuki said as Aki nodded and looked at Tohru.


"Ne, Tohru-chan, where's the notes? Sensei said I have lots to work on..." Tohru nodded.


"It's all in your room,"


Aki stood and look at Yuki, "Ikusou ne, Yuki..." Shigure who was there smiled perverted.


"Okay kids, remember not to do it so quickly..." he sand as Yuki hit him on the head which made Aki giggled.


Yuki then hold her hand and they both leave the room.


Leaving a certain crimson eyes glared darkly at the Mouse Jyuunishi.


===


Aki together with Yuki, after getting her notes went to Yuki's room. Yuki opened the door as he first entered his room.


"Saa Aki, what do you want to refrain first?" he asked as Aki suddenly leaned her head at Yuki's back.


Yuki turned his head back and looked at Aki confusedly, "Aki?"


"Hmm?"


"Doushita? Is there anything bugging you?" Yuki asked as he turned around but she stopped him, dropping her notes and holds his arms with her hands.


"Just stay like this for awhile..." she whispered softly as she close her eyes and smiled a little.


"Ne Yuki, have you felt envious to someone?" Aki then said out loud, after a minute have passed. Yuki stood there in front of her and sighed.


"Why do you ask that?"


"I am envious... and I can't help it," she answered as Yuki holds Aki's hand that is holding her arm.


"It's just normal to people to felt envious at someone..." Yuki said as he turned around and look at Aki's shocked face, looking at him. She smiled warmly at him.


"Can I hug you?" she asked softly as Yuki smiled down at her and nodded, his arms encircling around her but not too close to make him transform in his Jyuunishi form.


Aki leaned her head in his chest, "It's comfortable and I felt ease... when I hug you and Momiji, and Rin-chan..." she whispered.


"Maybe it's a good effect of the Jyuunishi to you..." Yuki answered which made the girl chuckled in his arms.


"Maybe... but you know what... I like it. I felt loved by all of you, I just hope my mother loves me back as well..." Aki murmured as Yuki patted her head.


"Time can only tell, Aki..." he answered as Aki looked at him and smiled.


"Let's head back now to your lessons?" Yuki asked as Aki nodded, him pulling his arms at her as he picked up the notes, Aki drops.

Hours Later


Aki stretched her arms and yawned sleepily, "Youkatta!" she cheered, smiling as she look at Yuki who nodded and smiled.


"Thanks for all of this..." she said as Yuki shook his head.


"My pleasure to help..." he answered as a knock came on the door.


"It's open!" Yuki answered as the door opens and come see Tohru with two glasses of milk.


"Ara, you two are finish?" Tohru asked as Aki nodded and smiled.


"I just thought of bringing some milk..." Aki light up when she saw the milk, she stood up and take the one glass of milk and smiled at Tohru.


"Arigatou, Tohru-chan for the milk... this is one of my favorite drinks, y'know!" Aki exclaimed as Yuki smiled at the both of them and stood up, taking the other one.


"Thank you, Honda-san..." Yuki said as Tohru nodded.


Aki drink all the milk in the glass, after drinking the whole milk she looked at Tohru and smiled.


"Let's go now, Tohru-chan. We have school tomorrow, right?" Aki said as Tohru nodded.


Tohru then take the glass of Aki, "Let me wash the glass now..." Aki didn't give it Tohru, instead, after Yuki finish drinking his glass. Aki took it and grinned.


"I'm going to wash this for you, Tohru-chan. It's a thank for making us milk..." Aki said as she started to walked, but stop and look at Yuki.


"Yuki, I'll just take my notes tomorrow at school! Oyasumi!" she said and then leaves Yuki's room. Tohru looked at Yuki.


"Oyasumi, Sohma-kun..." Tohru said and bowed as Yuki nodded.


"Oyasumi..."

Aki slip on her uniform, once finish, she tied her hair into a low ponytail. She make her bangs exactly like her sister, those half sided bangs.


She smiled at the result in the mirror, picking up her shoulder bag and leave her room.


Closing her door, she look to see Kyo who is just finish wearing his uniform as well. She smiled brightly at him.


"Ohayou, neko-chan!" she greeted as Kyo looked narrowed his eyes at her and grunted as they both started to walk downstairs.


"Mou, that's not a good way to greet in the morning!" she complained as they all went into the kitchen.


Tohru finishes making dinner and look at Kyo and Aki, "Ohayou, Kyo-kun, Aki-chan..." Tohru greeted as Aki beamed a smile at her.


"Ohayou!" Aki only greeted as then Yuki, sleepily rubbed his eyes as he came at the Kitchen.
