Characters; Sohma Akito [![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caging ] & Honda Tohru [aibyoukaonigiri ]
Summary; A god metes punishment where required.
Log;
God was waiting; a picture of serenity beside the only source of light in the room that was a small, rectangular window. The room they had provided for her was far cry from the room she had back at the Sohma estate, with its cool tatami flooring, artistic windows, and an easy access to her very own garden where they kept tsubaki flowers all over. It was to be expected, however. It was fine, though far from fitting. When Akito closed the lights and let the room become encased in cold darkness, it became more like home.
Eyeing the pieces of broken stem, leaves, and trampled petals on the floor beside her, him because of that curse today, she began to wonder about when exactly a certain ambitious little tramp was going to arrive. When she had woken up today, in that changed body that wasn't so very bad... though awkward and unnatural -- definitely male -- she had thought to spend the rest of the day arranging flowers idly as she checked on what her family was doing through the network. Small joys. Was it so much to ask for, to have a little happiness and contentment? And then that bitch, that Honda Tohru, had to touch and defile her things. The cat, Kyou was not part of her zodiacs, but he was nevertheless hers, an ownership, and bound to the God, her, him, he was born to serve.
Pressing a twig between her thumb and pointing finger, hard enough that a small cracking sound filled the dark silence for a moment, Akito smiled to herself. Yes. But hadn't she... shouldn't she have foreseen this? They kept saying; Honda Tohru was good. That ugly bitch... Akito saw her for what she truly was all along! A sick and disgusting thing, an ugly thing... just like that woman. Seducing, and reaching out to men with unworthy hands-- Digusting!
"You touched Kyou," she mumbled absently as she carefully left the the broken twig beside the vase that held her latest arrangement; an abstract mess of flowers. "I didn't... see that. How dare you..." And then with a fisted hand she crushed the twig on the floor.
Tohru-san must be punished.

Tohru-san must be punished.
no subject
She was going to meet with Akito, because the Sohma family god wanted to punish her. A thousand and one things raced through Tohru's mind, remembering a couple of the punishments her mom had described to her that happened in gangs and on the streets. They were enough to make her blood run cold. Akito was not part of a gang, but that didn't lessen the fear.
Kana-san…I-I remember what Momiji-kun told me happened when Hatori-san told him about Kana.
Hesitating, she stared at the door wide-eyed. Was something like that…going to happen to her? Throat tightening, her hand alighted onto the handle. Punishment…she had no idea what to expect, or know what he had in mind. If I don't go though…then something could happen to Kyou-kun.
Ashamed, feeling dirty, much like the 'whore' she knew Akito was calling her, Tohru felt tears prickle her eyes. It's my fault. What happened the day before, she would never have done at the moment if she had been within her right mind. Something she had always considered sacred...or supposed to be special…she hadn't even been within her right mind for. I'm such an i-idiot….I ruined everything! Scrubbing at the hot liquid that started to fall once more down her cheeks she held back a sob. She could still remember the things she'd felt last night, the intimacy shared between them, the feeling of being touched, and in turn touching him. Looking back though, everything…had been her. The bile rose once more.
I'M SORRY! M-Mom…if you're not completely ashamed of me…please…p-please help me. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry Mom. I didn't mean to. I wouldn't have…I love you. I'm really really sorry.
Scrubbing at her tears, she took a shaky breath before opening the door. It's my responsibility. There was no one else at blame, but herself. She knew that it was important that she face the consequences of her actions if anyone was to be in trouble for this. Kyou was someone she would never allow to be hurt because of her own doing. There really wasn't a choice in the matter.
I'm going to protect Kyou-kun.
no subject
Hearing Akito request Tohru's presence had sent the neko into a panic. Kyou knew what their God was capable of inflicting on those he felt had wronged him. Kyou was the outcast, someone that God didn't want within his small circle and refused to allow entry. He'd been rejected and looked down upon by others his whole life.
Except her.
He'd failed in protecting her mother and she'd still appeared in his life, reminding him of the wrongs he'd made and the debt he owed that he couldn't ever repay. He swore to himself that he'd not let anything happen to her, somehow he'd protect her.
Akito wanted to punish Tohru for something she'd done under a curse. It hadn't been anything wrong and was something that should have remained private and between just the two of them. It didn't involve him at all, it shouldn't matter to Akito anyway. Akito hated him. Why should he care what about what Tohru and him had done?
Still...Kyou wasn't sure he could stand up to Akito, even if it meant to protect Tohru. Making his way from his bedroom to open the front door of the apartment he shared with Shigure and Akito, he leaned against the doorframe and waited.
Standing up to Akito might not be easy for him, but standing up to Tohru...
no subject
Just breathe...
Head lifting as her feet took her to their door, she stopped in surprise. Her eyes immediately widened. Standing against the frame, brows furrowed as he stared at her, stood Kyou. Suddenly her stomach churned and she swallowed nervously. Feet faltering her hands suddenly fisted into her skirt, and she swallowed as red swept across her cheeks. Gaze shifting to the side, she found it difficult to look at him all of a sudden, knowing that he didn't look happy to see her there. Taking a moment to try and find her words, she attempted to make her voice as firm as possible.
"I...I didn't come to visit with Kyou-kun..." She said honestly...the one thing she was really good at being today. "I need to go inside..."
no subject
"I heard," he said, forcibly keeping a reign on his temper so he didn't just come out and yell at her. Fear and nerves making that a feat more difficult than it should be. "You don't owe him an explanation. Turn around and walk away now."
Getting involved with his family wasn't good for her. Since the day he'd fallen through the ceiling, he'd wished she would go away. His family was screwed up, twisted, and would break someone with her gentleness if she allowed it. For her sake, no matter what he personally wanted, putting distance between everyone was best.
no subject
"I can't do that." Voice quiet and a little shaky, she tried her best to keep the nervous anxiety she felt out of it. If she couldn't sound sure of herself, she knew it would make things that much more difficult, and she wasn't going to back down. "He's already expecting me...it...it's my fault things are the way they are right now. If Akito-san is angry...then it's my responsibility to stand up right now."
Taking another step forward toward the door, she visibly steadied herself.
"...Kyou-kun...please let me in. I don't...I don't want to fight with Kyou-kun..."
no subject
"Don't be stupid," he said, not moving a muscle as she stood her ground next to him. "It's none of his fucking business what we did. You aren't one of us and you didn't do anything wrong."
Hand lifting to the back of his neck, Kyou rubbed the tension that had accumulated there in the last few minutes. "Really, it was just the once," he added, gaze dropping away from hers as he spoke, too embarrassed to look her in the face. "It's not like we're going around fucking like rabbits ten times a day, everyday. And even if we were, I can't see how that is any of his business."
no subject
"It was something that I instigated. If I don't take responsibility for what I started...then Kyou-kun would be in trouble. I'm not stupid! I know what happened with Hatori-san and Kana-san!"
There was no way that she would allow that to happen to him. Absolutely not. She was the one who had put him into this position. Grabbing his arm, she tried to lower it from the door frame. She didn't want to have to do anything desperate...like purposefully try and transform him. She knew he'd be more livid for that, and using the curse to her advantage didn't sit well in her stomach. If it came to that though...
"It shouldn't be anyone else's business....but it is now. And I'm not going to let someone else get in trouble! Whether or not Kyou-kun wants me to go in...I'm still going to see Akito. I've already made up my mind!"
no subject
She knew what had happened within the family in the past, but was still willing to face Akito and whatever punishment the God had deemed fitting for her. Kyou knew that whatever happened, her life would be destroyed again. Twice. Because of him.
"It's nothing you should have to take responsibility for! Seriously, what are you thinking? This family is screwed up. You shouldn't even be here!" Kyou said, frustration marring his brows as he glared down at her. "You aren't part of the family. You should be able to live your life without being under the stupid rules of that guy."
"Really, the fact that you are here right now just pisses me off," he said honestly, never taking his gaze from her face so she understood how serious he was. "The best thing you can do for any of us is to just leave and don't show your face around here ever again."
no subject
Opening her mouth to try and combat his words, she found herself abruptly without a response. Instead, something warm trickled down her cheek, leaving a wet trail in it's wake. The tears had popped back again without warning, and before she knew it she had released Kyou's arm, a surprised hand rising to numbly wipe away at the salty liquid that had appeared.
Bands abruptly falling over her eyes, she unconsciously took a step back from Kyou, and away from the door. Sucking in a shaky breath she floundered momentarily again while she tried to find her voice.
"I-I just wanted to...I mean...I know. I know I'm not blood family...b-but I always thought that Shigure-san...a-and Kyou-kun, that even so..."
Taking another breath she swallowed once more. The whole in her heart still hurting.
"I mean...I...I just wanted to..." She continued, voice growing lower. Her words faltered as she fell into uncertain mumbles. "I wanted to right things..."
no subject
Akito rose from the floor and before padding towards the door to her room, stopped to rearrange her clothes. It wouldn't do... it wouldn't do at all to look less than presentable to her most-awaited guest. Even those who deserved to be punished deserved to be treated with dignity, and wasn't she god?
"Tohru-san," Akito drawled when she finally came to the door and opened it, almost welcomingly. She smiled serenely at the girl, ignoring the cat who was obviously trying to get in her way. "You took your time."
And then sharp eyes quickly turned to Kyou, even if that smile remained on her lips. "Kyou. I need to speak with Tohru-san. Leave. Or..." Though she seemed to smile wider, the coldness in those dark eyes only deepened. "...did you intend to stay and chat with us?"
no subject
Akito didn't normally give a crap about what he did, with the exception of his several month disappearing act, but that was to be expected. The cat was supposed to be the one that longed to be in the family, that wanted to be included. If the cat skipped town and wanted nothing to do with the family, where did that leave everyone else? The farce Kyou portrayed had nothing to do with wanting to belong...but was merely the most efficient way to grasp the anger and place the blame away from himself.
This situation wasn't of Tohru's doing. Though she might have started it, he had gone along with it and hadn't protested either of their actions. If he was truly honest with himself, the fact that she'd gotten mixed up within their family was his fault. She should be living the perfect life, away from the city, with the person that was most important to her, her mother. Kyou's mistake that day had cost her too much already. He wouldn't allow himself to bring any more pain to her life again.
"If you have something you think you need to say to her about what we did, I probably need to hear it too. It was something we chose to do together. It's not like we didn't know what we were doing."
no subject
Stepping forward, making eye contact with Akito she touched her chest, indicating herself as she opened her mouth to speak.
"Kyou-kun doesn't need to stay. You said you wanted to speak to me, right? If that's the case I'm here. I take full responsibility, so it should just be between the two of us. He doesn't even want to see my face" she managed to say, choking a little on that last part. "So that goes to show just how much of this all falls on my own shoulders."
In reality, Tohru was scared. She was really scared, and probably would have felt better with Kyou by her side, together, as he always said, but that wasn't fair. She didn't want to put him into jeopardy.
no subject
To emphasize on the truth, or rather, the false truth, behind this statement, the Sohma Head's hand came to rest on Tohru's shoulder, gripping tightly. "Tohru-san, shall we? In my room. We will not be disturbed there."
no subject
Bile choked him, disgusted with himself and fearing for whatever might happen to her. It was like the blood had frozen within his veins. Say something! His entire being seemed to be unable to react to the scene unfolding in front of him, and it devastated him.
A voice within his head was screaming at him, though it seemed far away. In fact, the noises within his head and the overwhelming emotions he was feeling were producing a nearly deafening roar within his mind. Frustration so strong, Kyou could barely contain the rush of emotions as he fought back tears. Clenching his eyes closed, he tried to block out everything and concentrate on what he needed to do.
Surprised, his eyes flew open to stare down at his hand. Unbeknownced to him as he was doing it, he'd reached forward and grabbed Tohru by the arm. Relief quickly followed the surprise, amazed by the action as he couldn't possibly have done it. He had though...
The small movement had given the neko a surge of hope, tugging her away from Akito. Courage, even if just a little, helped him move again as he forcibly brought her back to his side. "That's n-not what she s-said," he managed to get out. If she really didn't want him there, he'd leave her to talk with Akito by herself, but he couldn't understand why she would want to be there alone. She might think it was best, he'd feel the same way...but...even then he'd want her there for support. Gaze turning to Tohru, his voice filled with desperation but quiet as he grasped her arm tightly. "Do you want me here? I don't want to leave you alone..."
no subject
If it's just physical...then that's fine. She tried to tell herself. Bruises healed. Back in the day, she knew that her mother had taken several beatings, being sent to the emergency room from having been hurt so badly. Even Uo had experienced violence in her life, having been hurt or wounded by the people in her own gang. If those two had suffered from things in the past, or had been hurt, then what right did she have to be afraid of facing that herself? It was fine...and she didn't really know what Akito had in store for her. People should be given the benefit of the doubt, and perhaps he wouldn't resort to something like violence. It's fine she thought, as she took a step to follow Akito.
The sudden iron like grip that clasped onto her upper arm though took her by surprise. Eyes widening, she turned to look up at Kyou when he abruptly yanked her from Akito's grasp, returning her to his side. Uncertainty and panic swept across Tohru's face. If he interfered--! The last thing she wanted was for Kyouto get into trouble, or something to happen to him. His auburn eyes though were desperate, staring straight into hers without wavering. The emotion was so evident, only enhanced by the silent pleading in his voice as he asked if she wanted him there with her or not.
Lips quivering, Tohru stared back up into his eyes without breaking contact. She wanted to say no. If he was there, then Akito's anger could easily be directed instead on him. Even though he had said it had been something the two of them decided to do together, Tohru still couldn't help but feel she was the one responsible. She'd pursued him even after he tried to get her to stop. Tears blurring the sides of her vision though, her head nodded ever so slightly in acknowledgment, before the smallest sound filled the silent air.
"Y-Yes..." She whispered. Even had she not been cursed today...Tohru didn't know if she would have been able to say anything other than that. She was scared. Selfishly, she didn't want to be alone at all. She wanted him there with her. She didn't want to do it by herself. Without much thought her hands reached forward to grasp his shirt for support, fisting into the fabric tight. Her head bobbed again in a firmer nod.
"I...I want Kyou-kun with me."
no subject
She squeezed Tohru's shoulder tightly, before stepping forward and meeting the cat's eyes with hers; a dare. You dare defy God? "Do you want to come?" she asked pointedly, but did not allow for any response to be issued as she sneered and, smiling, let go of Tohru to walk back to her room.
There, she stood at the doorway, beckoning for them to come into the uncertain darkness that was her room.
"Come."
no subject
The cold glare that God flashed him before turning away toward his room left Kyou feeling nervous about what was to come, yet a little awed about what he'd accomplished in just a second. When Akito was just out of earshot, Kyou leaned against Tohru just enough so she had to take on some of his weight. "I feel like I'm going to just collapse," he whispered, yet there was a distinct note of pride in his voice as he continued. "I can't believe I did that."
Hand still wrapped around her arm, he gently pulled her forward and toward Akito's room. If they were going to face him, it would have to be together. They were too determined to protect each other, this was the way it had to be. God was waiting for them.
no subject
Head tilting Tohru fell silently into thought a moment. Thinking on it, she realized that for Kyou, this had to be an incredibly difficult thing. After having gained the bonds, becoming god virtually for a day, she knew that for Kyou...standing up to that 'entity' had to be difficult. Really...it was probably taking all that he was, and from the way he held himself right now, that was obvious.
A sudden tug drew her forward again, and she realized that her feet had planted to the spot. Drawing a breath, she nodded, mind catching up with her feet. Reaching out with her free hand she grabbed onto the arm that was holding her for additional support.
"Thank you..."
Although afraid, as the door shut behind them and they entered into the dark dimness of Akito's room...she felt safer and more secure now that she knew Kyou was standing right there at her side, too.
no subject
Someone not even deserving to have a monster.
But she had to be the calm and benevolent god. There was... there had to be a time and place for everything. Kureno.
She had to be calm. For now. Reason. Show. Show that cat how filthy the whore was, and then... and then... punish, both of them.
"So," she began the moment she was comfortable in her position. "You two slept together. How nice." Her voice was almost pleasant as she said that, but she kept her eyes purposely away from both of them, choosing to eye instead the broken twigs on the floor.
She waited, and when she finally decided to face them, Tohru-san in particular, there was an uncharacteristically friendly smile on her face. "Who do you want next?"
no subject
There was no way...it wasn't like she wanted...
I-I wouldn't have even...to Kyou-kun! If I hadn't been cursed, I wouldn't have cornered him. A-And he thinks I'd want to...with the others?
Her cheeks only further darkened. Of course Akito thought lowly of her, but those weren't things she'd ever consider doing!
"I don't...I-I wouldn't ever--! I don't...I've never had such intentions." The 'god's' question brought her back to the comments her older cousin asked, her family, with the exception of her grandfather, having thought that because she lived in a house with three men...that she had...
"I've only ever...had 'feelings' o-of that nature...for Kyou-kun..."
no subject
Tohru's words caught him off guard. Only for...me? She really feels like that?
He wasn't sure what to think. His feelings were so raw and confused, but she seemed so...sure. Like the entire thing was a given within her mind. That was surprising to him. since his own emotions felt jumbled and confused. Still, her feelings for him seemed to give him a push of strength.
"She's not like that..." he growled, fingers tightening around the sleeve of her shirt as his determination faltered slightly. With a deep breath, he lowered his gaze down to the grip of his hand and tried to regroup his feelings with the thought."You know Tohru's not like that. It was something she couldn't control that day and you know it."
no subject
"Feelings like that," the God said finally after some length of time. "Don't predict, or prevent, filthy actions like that... you know?"
Shigure had told her-- had promised-- He had been so sincere, and yet there he was, cavorting with that bitch. And hurting her. Feelings... were lies. In the end, in the end there was only certain things to rely on... like the curse.
And then she was standing up from the floor and standing next to Tohru. "I don't mind... knowing who you wanted to dirty next, Tohru-san," she said softly as she reached out to brush her cold fingers across the young woman's pale cheeks. "You can be completely honest now. Just now, I welcome you to ease this burden. Tell me--" Further, those fingers went, toying with the loose strands of Tohru's hair. "Who I will be saving from you."
And in one swift pull, Akito tugged at Tohru's hair downwards, hoping to force the girl to prostrate before her humbly.
no subject
I-I am being honest...I couldn't even lie if I wanted...
Before she could answer though a sharp, painful tug on her hair forced Tohru's face to the floor. Hands moving ahead of her, they shot to either side to prevent her face connecting to the ground beneath her.
"I-I'm not lying!" Tohru attempted. A winch crossed her face and she found herself unable to move, the strands of her hair pulled taut against Akito's iron grip. The action had caused her to lower her head to the God, so that she was literally forced into a bow. There wasn't much release, or slack he gave to allow her to move. Heart racing, she raised her voice, trying to honestly convince him. "I wouldn't do anything to them-! I don't want...I don't want to dirty anyone!"
Mind reeling she tried to think of a way to convince him. Nothing had been premeditated!
"I-It was a curse... and today-! I can't lie. I'm cursed so that I can't lie at all, which means I can't help but be anything but honest to you!"
no subject
Not just once...he had to stand there and watch Tohru get hurt because of him for the SECOND time.
The voice in his head hummed violently as he stood frozen watching Akito violently force Tohru to the ground. Move! If you don't get off your ass and do something everything is over. Hands tightening into fists, Kyou felt his body start to tremble. Worse, Akito will probably hand deliver her to the rat. You don't deserve her...you're a worthless, no good, pathetic cat that can't even protect anyo--
“SHUT UP!” he raged, body springing forward to come between the two. Hands outstretched he pushed his arms as far as they would go, trying to keep Akito from Tohru. “J-Just don't. It's my fault...everything is my fault. Let her go. I-It's my fault...It's my fault...none of this would have ever happened. S-She wouldn't b-be here...it's m-my fault.”
no subject
"How dare you!" Akito echoed, imbued with the very same anger the God within her had first felt. Where she began, and where the God ended... disappeared, as she glared at Kyou angrily. She reached out, long and pale fingers grabbing Kyou's arms and gripping with almost inhuman strength, empowered both by the fact that today God was a man as should be and the fact that there were two entities living within that frail body. Gritting her teeth, she drew Kyou closer, before suddenly breaking into an uncharacteristically calm smile.
"Stay, Kyou," she ordered quietly as she pulled Kyou downwards and spoke in his ears. "I allowed you to, but you will stay on the side and watch like a good little monster." Lightly, she brushed Kyou aside, but however little the effort put into that action had been, the verbal order had been carried out and held more power than any physical coercion had.
And then, with the cat taken care off, Akito returned her attentions to the outsider. The bitch. "Tohru-san," Akito said in a slightly pitying tone, furrowing her eyebrows as if to show how sad the situation was. "Look... look what you've made Kyou do. Don't you feel guilty? Why do you do this?" Her face remained calm, and then that hand was lifted again--
At first, it looked like she was going to run those slender fingers through the brunet's hair again, but suddenly, they were on Tohru's throat. White-knuckled. Tight. However painful it was, Akito remembered to allow Tohru to breathe, albeit with difficulty.
"Don't you understand that outsiders like you... you destroy their minds. You soak them in disgusting filth, your lies. Your disgusting wantonness..." She leaned closer, so that their eyes were staring into each other. "Is it so hard... so hard for you to tell the truth, Tohru-san? Or is that brain of yours too puny to comprehend my request?"
"Tell me."
no subject
Almost as quickly as Akito had grabbed Kyou, he was released and put to the side, as though he was no longer of concern. Worried, Tohru's eyes followed him. Before she could move to take a step toward Kyou however, the God's eyes had turned back onto her and she'd abruptly become the center of attention. The accusation that poured from his lips was painful. She swallowed tightly, finding her eyes connected with his and opened her mouth to protest...
When suddenly a hand was wound tightly around her throat.
Eyes growing wide, the air in her lungs abruptly stopped up and a thread of panic shot through her. Hands rising they moved to the wrist trapping her neck. That hurts...! The fingers were tight, digging into the delicate flesh of her throat, making it difficult to breath. Nearly nose to nose Akito filled her vision, his angry voice filling her ears.
Mouth working the sudden shortness of breath caused tears to rise in her eyes. The iron grip hadn't loosened, making it impossible to swallow. She could breathe, barely, but her breathes were short, ragged, as she tried to suck in more breath. Fingers working, she tried to remove the grasp at her throat as she attempted to speak, the words strained.
"I--Inng ng I'm--n-not--!" She gasped. Did he not believe her about the curse? He was so upset that he didn't care to listen to her attempts to convince him, no matter how many times she said them. He hated her, truly hated her completely. But why? It was sad...when she'd truly wanted to be friends with him. She'd always been thankful for having been invited to live in that house, back home with Shigure and Yuki and Kyou. But if he hated her so much...then why had he allowed her to stay? Fingers resting atop Akito's, she stared with confusion but sincerity into the god's eyes.
"A-Akito...I'm---s-sorry..."
no subject
Eyes burning, Kyou clenched his jaw tight as he fought the impending tears that threatened to spill over. It's useless...everything is just useless. I'm just pathetic. Suddenly Akito's anger peaked and his hands slid around Tohru's throat. Panicked as Tohru struggled to breathe and fought against Akito's grasp, Kyou's body began to shake with hysteria.
"Stop! STOP!" he screamed, nausea and dizziness overwhelming him, his words the only weapon he had but knowing they fell on deaf ears. "You're going to kill her! STOP!"
