All You Wanted.
I wanted to be like you
I wanted everything
So I tried to be like you
And I got swept away
Akito stared out the door, the two birds chirped and sipped the water. His mind lost, Honda Tohru, just a normal girl, but with each word she said, each jester she gave, it was like nothing he had felt before.
He let an annoyed sigh pass his lips, she was a puzzle, like one of those 1000 piece on that will drive you insane until you put the last piece in its rightful spot. One piece out of that 1000 was on part of Tohru, however he could never find in the other 999 piece that would fit any of them.
In the end, more he tried, more he got swept away.
I didn't know that
It was so cold
And you needed someone
To show you the way
Tohru woke up from her peaceful nap, and rubbed her eyes gently. Slowly her eyes drifted to the small clock on the coffee stand. It would be at lest another half an hour or so until the two got back.
She sat up with a long yawn, her own mind drifted onto a young male, someone who has captured her each time, she looked into his eyes.
His eyes, so cold, so unfeeling at times, Her thoughts rambled with one another her mind lost with in thoughts, and thoughts lost within thoughts. But I know I can help him, he just needs someone. That line she told herself, every time she went and left the main out, he needs someone, someone to care.
so I took your hand
And we figured out
That when the tide comes
I'd take you away
Akito grumbled gently and stood, and left his beloved watching post, and crossed the wooden floors. However, he looked down at his hand, and images of the past flooded his mind.
The second time he attacked
Tohru, her soft fearful hand yet that both gently and strongly held it's place
on his arm. Her words, for the first time, he felt something other then hate,
that maybe, it was true, that she did have a gift, of taking people away from
reality, but at the same time reality.
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away
From here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares
Tohru stood and grabbed her book bag; she needed to get her weekend assignment done. However, that is when it hit her, she left the folder that it was back at the main house, she groaned at her stupidity, and quickly wrote a note for her dear friends.
Then in a flash she grabbed her keys in a flash and was out the door. Her mind raced, and her heart began to beat faster. Something was going to happen to night, she knew it.
She sighed, time passed as she came to the now familiar house. The place seem quiet, peaceful yet it held a feeling of hard work, the past mixed with the new. However it also, carried the feeling of, loneness.
She parked the car, and climbed out, she didn't bother to check in with Hatori, only because she came to pick up the forgotten object.
I'm sinking slowly
So hurry hold me
Your hand is all I have
To keep me hanging on
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go
When you're gone
For the first time, he noticed something that shouldn't be in the room. A simple folder lay where Tohru had sat down to talk with him. He never did remember if Tohru brought another thing in, other then the bird. He found this odd. He started to replay the day's events again, however he stopped himself.
That damn girl again.
Always on my mind. Why?
He picked up the folder. And stared at it, his eyes went cold, eyes that only a demon or monster would have. Then he recalled, a visit from Hatori, and questioned if he was truly right or not.
However that road down memory lane will have to wait, he eyed the folder with distaste, why couldn't it been a dairy? He fingered through the folder, he did not care if it was personal or not. He blinked when he found a little letter type thing, folded in an odd shape. After he stared at it, he figured it out it was a cat. On the outside it had written, "To Kyo" "From: "Tohru-kun"
He snorted, Shigure has been around Tohru too long. He stared at the little folded piece of paper, he knows better, but he couldn't help himself, he was human after all.
He opened it up carefully, and then stared to read it.
Through the letter he felt his heart sank, and again, he thought up the idea, of stealing the girl away from that cat and mouse. But the small chirp of the birds, banished that thought.
He folded the letter and
placed it back into the folder as if it was never disturbed. Lucky he was, Tohru
just walked into the room.
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away
From here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares
"Akito-san." She stared with a smile, but then like that day a few weeks ago, he had the look in his eyes. Anger, fear, lust, jealousy, and many more she couldn't name. A person with eyes that can change so easily to fit his moods, can and will have power on the people around him that is Akito. With his sharp tongue he can reduce you down to nothing with just simple words and the look in his eye. With just his eyes he can trap you in a forever maze, loosing your mind in the process. The power he has, is and will always be, unreal.
The young man watched her carefully, as always, he was trying to finish that puzzle. "you forgot something, I take it, too busy to get back to your beloved cat and mouse." His voice turned cold.
The girl blinked at him, but slowly nodded, "yes I forgot something. That" she pointed to the folder he held. Apart of her wanted to grab that folder and run, however, another part wanted to stay. She didn't know what she should do, danger was in the air, but she said a silent pray, 'mother.please help me..be my self.'
All you wanted was
Somebody who cares
If you need me
You know I'll be there
Oh, yeah
Akito stared at her before he spoke again, "Tohru," he pronounced it slowly and let the name roll off his tongue. " you never answer me straightly when I ask you this, why do you come? "
Tohru looked at him, she learned to choose her words carefully, when he has that look in his eyes. She smiled at him, "Because, you want me to come."
Akito blinked then eyes narrow, "I never said no such thing!" he snapped at her.
Tohru flinched at the shout, but kept her grounds, " Akito-san. You don't want me here is that it?" its time to turn the tables, even if Tohru doesn't know it.
Akito froze for a moment, but then recovered, "stop putting words in my mouth!" his temper started to boil.
If you want to
I can save you
I can take you away
From here
So lonely inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who cares
Tohru stood her grounds as he yelled now. "Akito-san" she said again. This time, she a step forward and then another until she was face to face with Akito, and looked at him. " Akito-san," she stared at sad smile on her face. "I come here for you. To show you, the world isn't such a bad place."
Akito stared at her, captive in her eyes, for the first time he felt weak before a person, and someone held power over him.
She went on, " no one likes to feel alone. Akito-san" she reached for his hand and took it, holding it gently with hers.
"Akito-san, you know whenever you need someone I will be there. Always." She smiled at him.
Akito could do only nothing, his heart pounded in his chest; he didn't have the strength left to take his hand away from her. He was in fact, in love with her.
Please can you tell me
So I can finally see
Where you go
When you're gone
Tohru smiled as she left the main house and back into her car and left Akito to his thoughts.
However, Tohru really didn't forget the folder, someone had taken it from her bag.
Momiji smiled to himself.
He is older now, and yes is does wear the boy's uniform now. "Tohru-chan."
