Rin ignored Kureno as she left, paused in the living room, leaning against the wall, her long skirt shifting slightly as she did. "Are you all right?" It would seem that in light of the shock she and he had been dealt, she was willing to, if only briefly, forget that she claimed taht she hated him and never care if she saw him again. Still, her tone had been strictly automatic, and she looked more than somewhat distracted by her own thoughts. Before Haru walked in.... Was she mad at Kureno for his accusation or for his losing the curse?
(Everyone loves Hatori.)

Her voice was still shrill, but now was full of worry. "No! They'll leave me... They can't leave... No, no, no..." The last words were still repeating, and her nails inadvertently dug into Kureno's back.

(Now this is confusing. Back on Haru, but, still playing Hatori. AIYA! So many characters.)
Haru looked at Rin |he had not heard Kureno and even if he had he would have been to confused to respond| and then said, "Yeah... I guess..." That was what he managed to say after a while. He wasn't entirely sure he was alright, but, he wasn't sure if he wanted to know why no one told him Akito was a girl. It wasn't that it was ironic or anything, it was just something that he would have rather known.
~Hatori~
"They won't tell anybody. They know better. Akito, they will not leave you..." Though Hatori was unsure that he could trust the words that had exited his mouth.
(Not a good Hatori person... XD)

Rin glanced over at the boy before turning her face away form his. She wanted to confront Kureno. She never wanted to see him again. She wanted nothign more than to march back into that room, but at the same time, teh prospect of what was happening in that room frightened her. Kureno and Hatori would be furious with her. That was fine, she wasn't particularly afraid of either of them. God, she felt conflicted, as she glanced back towards the door, then away again. She knew what happened, but it almost seems like it couldn't have.
(Ah, poor you. -pats- Multi-tasking must be heck.)

Kureno only flinched slightly as Akito inadvertently dug her nails intol hisback. Hopefully though no one would say anything of it. And that would probaly happen seeing as there were other problems on hand.
"Perhaps normally they would know better to say anything but this must be quite a shock and there is no saying what they might do."
Looking down at Akito he sighed slightly. "So, if you could plese bring them in here Hatori, it's be appreciated. They may think that they can use this as black mail or something and we have to stop any such ideas."
Kureno knew he wasn't at all exagerating. After all one of the two had come in here wanting something, otherwise they wouldn't have come. So that left it very possible that one of them would take advantage of what they learned. True, the bond would probaly make them think twice but trouble was information could still leak.
Turning to Akito now Kureno brought her closer to himself hoping to calm her down. "It's all right. We won't let them go Akito. We won't let them leave you."

She listened through it all, still shaking, still hysterical. Her nails dug deeper as she tightened from stress, from everyone crowding around her, from the confusion surrounding her. She calmed a bit when Kureno spoke to her, but still showed no other waver in emotion. "Th...Thank you... Kureno-kun..." Although she wasn't re-assured, his voice still seemed to calm her.

Keeping his face free of pain despite Akito digging her nails into his back Kureno nodded. "You don't have to thank me." he said softly knowing that his words were probaly calming. "Just don't worry so much. Otherwise you'll get yourself sick. And we don't wan't that." Kureno spoke gently and calmly hoping to keep Akito calm and not get her more upset.
That was really the last thing they needed. Not when there was such a crisis as this on their hands. After all there was no reason to add to their problems.

Hatori left the room, "Rin, Haru... Can you please come back into the room please? Now..." There was an edge to his voice that made Hatsuharu shiver. Hatori turned and re-entered the room Akito and Kureno were in.
Hatsuharu stepped back into the room, half-heartedly. He stared at Hatori as if wanting his question to be answered. Why hadn't they been told that Akito was a-...? He shivered again and then said, "What did you want?" He asked, the questioning tone of his voice dropping hints of futher confusion.

Rin gave an odd motion, half a shrug and half a nod, following them in and looking from Akito, to Hatori, til her dark gaze rested hesitating on Kureno. She remained silent, as Haru might as well have taken the words right out of her mouth. What did they want? Probably to lecture for a while, or else perhaps have Hatori erase their memory of this.

Hearing Rin and Haru Kureno turned to them slightly. "What we need is your promise that you won't say a word about this no matter how tempting it may be. I realize you must be shocked but you have to see you really have no choice about this."
As he spoke Kureno's voice was harsh, and filled with auhtority. After all he knew they had to keep this a secret. "And make the promise to Akito." he said after a moment knowing that by making the promise to Akito there was almost no way that they could then break that promise. It was all part of the bond the Jyuunishi shared with there God.

Haru stayed silent for a long time then, realizing how important it was to them that the secret was kept, replied in a soft tone, "I promise to keep the secret." He was still too shocked to even think up the idea of informing the others. Everything seemed so confusing now, his head started to almost spin. He leaned against a wall, trying to hide his sudden dizzy spell.
Hatori was silent, looking at Rin for her response. His expression gave a since that he'd do what he was told if either one of them didn't agree. Since Haru had agreed, the bond would surely keep him silent. Now, for Rin...

"I promise, I will never speak of what I saw here to anyone." Her eyes caught on Akito's held for a long second, before she turned to Kureno. "You have your promise." Her words lacked challenge, more flippant this time, but it was only too obvious that she had some grudge against the once-rooster. Her stance was almost defiant, her arms crossed protectively around her stomach.

Somehow, Akito didn't find thier promises at all comforting, no, infact she was petrified, literally paralyzed. Something was /not/ right here.... Thinking this she tensed, actually braking flesh now with her nails. She whimpered, Why the hostility? Did Kureno do something? Then it hit her, Oh no, Rin knows.... "K... Ku... Kreno.. She knows.... Too much... about that..." She hoped he would undersstand, for all she knew, no-one else was aware of the lack of bond between them.

Hatori glanced at Akito and walked over, whispering only loud enough for Kureno and Akito to hear, "Would you like me to-?" He trailed off, hoping that Akito would understand what he meant.
Haru stared at Hatori and then to Kureno, never once taking much time to stare at Akito. He finally forced himself to sit, closing his eyes. Hopefully then, the world would quit flipping all sorts of ways.

Kureno was a smart guy and having been with Akito so long he understood her well. Grimacing at what Rin knew Kureno hoped that his expression, which he had been unable to stop, would be passed as pain rather then something else. "It's all right." he whispered not wanting anyone else to hear just in case. "It's all right I'll deal with it." This too was said only so Akito could hear.
"Both of you aren't to even mention ANYTHING about today. Got it?" he asked this knowing that he could keep Rin quiet if he worked it out right. "You have to promise that too because just keeping what you saw secret isn't enough, not in this case."
Hopefully with this assurance Hatori would have no need to try and erase Rin's or Haru's memory.
