It was that day again, and so he waited, and waited, and waited. It seemed to be like another week, then just a few hours. However, he knew, she would come, Tohru never missed one day. Even if she was ill, she came, faithful as ever.
Just as that thought passed through his mind the door opened, he didn't need to look, he already knew who it was.
Tohru beamed at him warmly, he glanced at her then noticed she held something behind her back. The girl walked over slowly, her smile never faded or weakened. "I saw something in the window, and I couldn't help but get it."
For the first time, in front of anyone, he has a clueless expression, and a bit of curiosity reflected in his eyes. However, that was just for one moment, but in that moment Tohru noticed it. "Hn, what is it then?"
Her smile just grew, "you have to guess!"
Akito gave her a weary look, but inside he wanted to know. "Like I care what you get me." He said smoothly and glanced at the small bird always present in this room.
Her smile faltered a little, but then she nodded, "alright."
At this the young man, glanced at her from the corner of his eye, as she pulled out a cage like thing from behind her back. It was covered in a pink silk cloth, then he a soft song that came from it.
Tohru set it down next to him, then sat down her self, her hands neatly placed in her lap. "Go on, open it." She urged him gently.
At this he sat up, and pulled his Kimono up as well, he took his slim hand and touched the silk with slender and hesitant fingers. Then pulled off the cover slowly, as to reveal the contents of it. There it sat, a bird to match his own.
She watched him so closely, "I think... No one would like to be caged don't you? I saw her in the window, and I thought it would be nice company for your little friend too. But you have to remove the cage, and let her free, so she won't be alone anymore."
Her words, cut through him at that moment. He stared at her, then he felted the warmness of her words, she had no idea what she did to him. Each time she smiled, each time she laughed, or talked to him, it made him feel.free, as if this family, this cruse wasn't here anymore.
Tohru smiled at him, then waited. Akito just looked at her, this had shakened him a bit, her words played over and over through his head, however with a steady hand he opened the cage. As soon has it was opened, the small bird flew out however did not leave the room. Akito watched it, his thoughts in over drive. It has a chance for freedom, why doesn't it take it? Then he saw it, right away it had bonded with the other little bird.
Tohru smiled and stood,
"Akito-san.not everything needs to be forced to stay. My mother told me,
more you force, and the more people want to leave. " Then she headed for
the door. "I will see you next week Akito-san." With that she left.
