Damn. That close, too. This seemed to be the story of the girl's life. "I promise," she said after a long moment, her tone bitter. "I promise everything that went on here today, stays here." She had to promise, else lose her memory. She knew Hatori would do it, if Akito willed it he had to, especially to keep a secret such as this.
If she promised, though, she bought time. She wasn't sure what she could do, but still....If anything, all she wanted rigth now was time with Kureno, impossible as Akito rarely let him out of hi-her sight. If she confonted the man here, Akito would only get upset and the reprecussions could be worse than the girl could imagine. She was stubborn, thoguh no fool.

Haru merely nodded in response this time.
Hatori eased away from Akito and stood still, staring at haru, "Are you alright, Haru?" He asked.
This time no response came from Haru, he was conscious, but, still trying to get his ind straightened.
(Brain burned up... XD Sorry, I'm sick, not good at thinking when ill...)

Kureno nodded glad to have Rin's and Haru's promise. Sure, it didn't make things exactly one hundred percent safe but it was close enough. All he had to do was hope that neither of them would blab the secret, espcially around Tohru, who knew because he had told her.
Turning to Akito now he carefully patted her on the back in a comforting, almost parental, gesture. "There now. Things all right now?" he asked quietly again so only Akito could hear.
((It's no problem. I hope you feel better.))

Rin sighed heavily, though quietly. She knew how Kureno had manipulated the situation to his advantage, or rather, Akito's. She should've expected it. Her eyes caught on the man's movements; he had some sort of fondness for Akito, that much was certain. That must've been why he stayed around.
(Getting kicked off, btu I'll be on tomorrow. Hope you feel better, Haru. Talk to you soon.)

Slowly she nodded her head, releasing her hands form his back, but letting her head remain on his shoulder. She sighed slightly, still doing her best to hold back tears, They crept upon her again, and she clenched her eyes tight, her face regaining comfort once she allowed herself to remember that she was on Kureno's shoulder.

((Bye Rin, see you tommorow.))
"That's all we really need." Kureno said seeing Rin's eyes on him. "That is unless you want to tell us something. Or if Hatori has something to say." He looked to Hatori with this wondering if the doctor did have anything to add. It was possible.
Despite saying he was going to ask no more of them Kureno didn't say that either of them were free to leave. After al that was something that Akito had to take care of. For, she just might have had something to say herself. However he hadn't asked knowing it was better to just let Akito either speak her own mind or let her keep her silence as she seemed to be doing now.
It was only when she released her hands from his back did he realize how much what she had done had hurt. However he made no sign of it though for all he knew anyone could see if they just looked at his back.

(Thanks, both of you.)
Haru stood up and said, "I'm going to lie down and hope that when I wake up, this was just a dream." He mumbled, walking out of the room again. He stopped and looked back, realizing how rude he had been to just start walking out, "That's okay right?"
Hatori looked speechlessly at Akito and Kureno, he had nothing else to say seeing that Kureno had covered it all.

((You're welcome.))
Slowly Kureno turned to Hatori not daring to move futher away from Akito even though she did seem calmer now. "That was close." he said to the slightly older male. "I think for a while we might have to watch over them, make sure that they will keep their promises no matter how likely it is that they'll keep them. Anything is possible after all."
Of course Kureno was sure there was no need to inform Hatori on this but this was for Akito's comfort as much as just making sure things would settle down and be close to all right.

"I know, and I will be doing so." He told Kureno honestly. "t's a good thing you got here when you did, I wasn't inside so I didn't hear anything until Akito-san began to get louder." He looked at Akito and then back to kureno, to show that he had in fact remembered Akito was there.
(I have to go for a little while. Bye for now.)

((Dang. I got to go. See you tommorow.))
Kureno nodded, glad that whoever had heard the noise had been smart enought to come to him. "I was at home but a servant informed me of what was going on. I don't know what ahppened to her though, she still might be standing in my doorway."
Kureno half smiled with this and in such a way so only Hatori could see. Usually he was always behind the scenes when the family doctor came to check up o Akito and her health but now was different. Still though it wouldn't surprise him too much if Akito sent Hatori out sometime soon.

Akito turned so that her back was to Kureno, and relaxed against his shoulder once more, face slightly contorted with pain. She nodded at Haru to leave the room, but gave no such consideration to Rin, the hostile thoughts being projected at Kureno were becoming bothersome. Her voice was being effected by her tears, but the childish curiosity rang through as well. "What do you have against my Kureno?" The emphasis was obvious, but everyone in the room should know it belonged. Shortly after speaking a slight cough came from her lips, followed by one of slightly higher magnitude.

Gently Kureno put his hands on Akito's shoulders and bent his head down to her so he could whisper.
"Don't stress yourself out now Akito. I don't want you getting sick." As he said this his voice was tinged with worry, as if he didn't want Akito sick because then he'd worry for the young woman.
And that was true. Released fromt he curse or not he had his reasons for being by Akito. And even if he was estranged from the rest of his family he knew better then to let them matter because it was Akito who was important. And he could let nothing change that until she said differently.

She bent her head backwards and looked up, oddly resembling the young Akito that Kureno had stayed around for in the first place.
Her reply was voiced at a similar volume to Kureno's, and was accompannied by a rare item. Her smile. "I won't Kureno-kun, I'll keep myself healthy, I promise." She continued to lean against him for support, and she was weakened by her tears and imbalanced by her stress.

Kureno nodded and didn't move a small smile on his usually stoic demeanor. He remembered well what Akito used to be like whens he had been young. And to see her again looking like she had before was nice no matter how short lived her expression was.
"That's good." he whispered. "Because I really worry when you get sick."
This, too was of course true. After all he hardly lied to the family head. Sure, since there was no bond between them,at least none by the curses standard that was, it'd probaly be tougher for Akito to tell he was lying but still he found it best to tell the truth because they still were close in a way no one really understood.

Now this was odd, surely she must be feverish... Akito was.. Giggling.... "That's good, I like it when someone cares..." Her head was still at an angle to look at him, and for the first time in over four or five years, she was actuallly giggling.
((So it's a bit OoC, who cares? It's fun making everyone think she's psycotic!))
