Akito was just sitting on the couch, flipping through a large photo album. She smiled at many, and looked at the captions put near each of them. One showed when she was just a newborn. She was pulling at her father's blonde hair curiously as he laughed.
In another she was reaching for Ren's, even more curiously. Ren looked disgusted in the picture. Akito sighed and flipped the page. She grimaced at the next picture. Shigure crouching down next to her, arm around her waist. Ayame was taking a picture of her in a kimono he'd made. She was blushing furiously.
Then there was another. Her, as a thirteen-year-old girl, blushing as Shigure said something teasingly. She couldn't remember what the twenty-year-old Shigure had said, but it had certainly caused her to blush. Then she flipped to a different page. Pictures of her and Yuki on this page. Most of them from when she was eight and nine. So she was smiling in most of them, Yuki smiling, just slightly, some of them where he wasn't smiling as much. This had been before she'd lock him in the black room. They had been childhood companions. Not close as best friends, but got along okay. In a few she looked
She drifted off to sleep looking at that page of pictures. She kind of missed being a kid...

Devon quietly walked in. His body somewhat sore from werewolves trying to eat him.
He saw a photo ablum in Akito lap, her quietly and gracefully walked over to Akito, looked down at it.
Her and Yuki...
He gently picked it up and leaned against the couch, staring at the photos.

Akito's eyelids fluttered open. She felt the weight of the big photo album removed from her lap. She pulled herself into a sitting position.
"Hi, Devon," She said, smiling. "Oh, are you looking at those?" She grinned. "Yuki and I. Mostly from when I was eight and nine years old. Yuki was four to five in those pictures. He was my playmate, we spent plenty of time together."

He smiled at her.
"You were an adorable child." He told her.

Akito's cheeks grew pink. "Thanks," She murmered. "Hmmm... I have at least one picture of each of the Sohmas somewhere in here..." She flipped through some pages. The Mabudachi trio, when they were all about thirteen. Hatori not exactly smiling, as usual, while Shigure and Ayame were laughing in the picture. Then there was a picture of a young girl with very long black hair. She was grinning. Isuzu. Then a picture of the white-and-black-haired Hatsuharu holding up two fingers, the peace sign. He looked about twelve years old in that picture, his gray eyes staring a bit vacantly at the camera. And then another picture. A young Shigure and a young Kureno sitting cross-legged next to eachother, Kureno looking at him a bit admiringly as Shigure read a book. Probably reading aloud, since his mouth was open in the picture.
That wasn't all of the Sohmas on that page, but there was one more picture there. Akito, looking probably about one or two year old. She was wearing baby clothes in the picture, it looked like she had been crawling around. She was gazing at the camera with curiosity, smiling.

He smiled at the baby Akito.
Gah, so adorable.
He reconized Hatori, Shigure, Kureno, Ayame, and Isuzu but not Hatsuharu.

"That's Hatsuharu. He was the white-haired boy with Isuzu," Akito said, not sure if Devon would remember.
She turned the page. Oops, she'd forgotten there was a picture of the cat's true form in here. The picture was right next to a younger picture of a scowling Kyo.
((Devon would be like... 0_0 Because he didn't see Kyo change that day at the Cullens'... XD))

Devon stared at the picture.
"What is that?" He asked, confused.

"The cat's original form," Akito explained. "They wear a bracelet made of sacrificed human bones and blood to hide it."

Devon paused, not speaking. He could see why they'd try to hide it...
"Is this part of the cat's curse?" He asked.

Akito nodded. "Yes. Ugly thing. The monster gives off the smell of rotting flesh. When I was younger, I took Kyo's bracelet. I wanted to see what he looked like. Absolutely disgusting." She wrinkled her nose slightly.

Devon nodded, listening to her.
"I wonder why..." He thought to himself.

"You mean, you wonder why the cat is cursed with this? Because. He's an outcast. You've heard the story, correct? The cat missed the banquet. So whoever is possessed by the cat is born in that form," Akito explained. As she said it, she expressed her dislike for Kyo.

Devon listened.
"You don't like him very much." He pointed out.

Akito smirked. "Pfft. Of course I don't like him. Nobody likes the foolish cat. Another part of the curse is that the cat has to be locked up in an isolated room after graduating from high school. Kyo and I made a bet that if he could beat Yuki, then he wouldn't have to be locked up. But the thing is, it's impossible for the cat to beat the rat. Literally impossible. If he tried to hit Yuki, and Yuki didn't block it, he'd stop," She chuckled a bit.

Devon almost grinned.
"Why would he stop?" He asked.

((It happens, too. *laugh*))
"The spirit inside him would make him stop," Akito said with a smirk. "It's physically impossible for him to ever harm Yuki, I suppose. I find it odd, though. He can lift my up by my robes, and his spirit won't stop him, but if he tries to hit Yuki, and Yuki doesn't put his guard up, he'll stop," She chuckled.
((Kyo has actually lifted Akito up by the neck of her robe. It was when he wanted to make the bet with Akito, that if he beat Yuki he wouldn't have to be locked up. lol. And Akito wasn't even scared. Just smirked and agreed to make the bet. *laugh*))

Devon smirked a bit. "I almost feel bad for him." He admitted.
