Why'd You Do It? (Phobia)

[Akkii]

He had been wondering for some time why Dageus had left the Main House. Was it because he'd rather be away from most of the Sohmas? No, then he would have gotten his own house. Of course, maybe he'd just prefer being with less Sohmas than those that were at the Main House. Or maybe it was Akito. Maybe she often took things out on him, since he was the cat. Shigure smirked to himself. It must really bother Akito that there was a cat the same age as 'God'. But there could have been so many reasons for why the young man left the Main House. This is what the writer was determined to find out today. Yuki, Kyo and Tohru were out. Crystal, as well. Now was the perfect time to question the man. He headed up to Dageus' bed room, where the cat tended to be, and did indeed find him.

Shigure knocked at the already open doors, just to signal he was there.

"Coming in," he said simply, entering the room. Then he just stared into the man. Dageus could ask why he was here.

[phobia]

Before Shigure had knocked on his door, although Dageus had already known he was coming, he had been working on his computer, maybe those online college courses. It wasn't too obvious at times, but being around too many normal people bothered Dageus, he really didn't want to have to explain what happened if someone hugged him. Things had been better since he moved in here, for the most part he was generally left alone, and classes were going well. He was way ahead of his class, and would probably graduate sometime this year. If he got lucky, that was. Some subjects were worse then others, like history. It wasn't his fault he found it boring.

Various drawings were scattered throughout the room, and the start of one was visible on the charcoals. All different types of material was in the room, although somehow, it was always neatly put away. Occasionally Dageus did do some requests, he had gotten a few already, and those were usually portraits, something he had always been skilled in. Spinning slightly in his wheel chair, he turned to face the writer.

"Hello Shigure."
Always one to observe before speaking, Dageus had left the floor open for the write, not knowing that he was supposed to say what was he doing. Dageus had a simple thought, and that was 'what he wants to say, or ask, will come out without me asking what it is he intends to ask.' Simple, yes?

[Akkii]

Shigure glanced around the room. Dageus was quite skilled, it seemed, when it came to art.

"Well, Dageus, there's something I've been meaning to ask you for some time. Why was it that you left the Main House, anyway? Was it Akito?" The way the writer formed the head-of-house's name. Some may mistake it as if he hated the frail person who was his 'god'. Others might think that Shigure thought of Akito as somebody very close. It all depended on how you interpreted his tone of voice. How you read his facial expression as he spoke. "I would love to know what led you to leave."

[phobia]

Raising an eyebrow at the question ever so slightly, it had been one he was expecting but none the less still excited, all Dageus offered was a slight shrug. Getting him to open up on a normal subject could be difficult. On a subject like this, unless he was willing to talk, it would be nearly impossible. It seemed though, that today was going to be a good day for the lucky writer. Dageus might talk.

"On which standpoint? As a writer, a curious person, or you just want to know?"
A simple question, but one that could dictate the outcome of what was to come.

[Akkii]

Shigure smirked wryly. "Can it be all three?" To be honest, knowing the reasons just might help with writing, not that he cared much about that. But it was mostly the 'curious person' and 'wanting to know' standpoints. He ran his fingers through his hair and awaited Dageus' answer, watching the younger man expectantly, but at the same time almost dully.

[phobia]

Dageus sighed, and shook his head slightly. Turning back to his computer, he hit a couple buttons, revealing what he had been doing was not in fact college work, but something else. On the screen appeared several digitally drawn pictures. Getting a new page up, a blank canvas you could say, Dageus plugged in his tablet, and began to draw.
"One moment please."
He said, as a rough sketch appeared on the screen. A few more moments, and one could see it was an accurate picture of the very room they were standing in. A few more moments, and it was done, in full color and everything. Sighing once more, Dageus typed in a few more codes, and a different image showed up. This one was the main house, obviously, and with him standing at the door, bag in hands.
"I first came to the main house a few months ago, although nobody else really knew I was there. For the most part, everything was just fine. I kept to myself, and everyone liked the work I did. But then, well, I met Akito."

Pulling up on the screen a picture of Akito and himself, obviously in a bit of a fight, although Dageus himself seemed calm to the point of cold.
"Things didn't go to well, We fought viciously, I somehow winning. I hadn't been having many problems, but with all the new people always coming in, I was starting to feel crowded. I made to leave, and that only made Akito angry. She ordered I stay."

Another picture, this one showing Akito obviously after Dageus, and then the door being slammed in Akito's face. At this, a small smile, not really one that was pleasent, appeared on Dageus's face.
"Needless to say, it didn't end well. I was packed and I left, there would be no stopping me once I made up my mind. I lived alone for a while, not wanting to be with anyone, until we actually got into another fight. This time, there was actual bloodshed." ((Oh, and he shows Akito as a girl in his pictures. xD))

There was no clear picture of this, only an aggresive looking feline and dog ((that is Akito, right?)), before they fought it out.
"After that, I've never gone back. I've lived here."

Obviously, that wasn't all his story as yet another image flashed on screen, but it was the gist of things. Closing his computer, Dageus turned back toward the write, his ice blue eyes just watching in the reserved way they always did.

[Akkii]

((XD Gure-san is the dog, not Aki-chan. Akito, is 'god'. She's possessed by the very 'god spirit,' the jade emporer.))

Shigure chuckled darkly. "If you ever return, there will be he** to pay. Of course, I'm sure you realize this. She just might stick you in the cat's room. It's a wonder she hasn't done it yet." He leaned back against the now closed door. "And by the way, how was it that you found out about Akito? You were only a few months old when Akito was even conceived." The dog wasn't positive if Dageus would understand what he meant by that. But in truth, all the Juunishi who had been born before Akito--himself, Ayame, Kureno, Hatori, Ritsu (who was too young to understand the dream, as he had been merely one year old) and Dageus--had received a dream the night Akito was conceived. This was the only reason Shigure and his friends... plus the 'prodigal lover,' as he often called Kureno, whom he despised greatly, knew about Akito's secret of really being female.

((I can't remember if I've told you about the 'cat room' or not. So if there's any confusion, feel free to ask.))

[phobia]

A dark grin flickered across Dageus's face, as he shook his head.
"You may be suprised."
He muttered, but didn't go further into the subject. Secrets were thick around the strange man, but they were things that probably, someone wouldn't want to know. Feeling the familiar weight of the Juzu, one died with blood, Dageus smiled internally. There were a lot of things that had happened that would never leave him. Glancing up as Shigure asked yet another question, this time Dageus seemed to think about how to exactly answer it.
"Some things can't be explained."
Dageus finally offered with a shrug. He had always understood a lot of things in life that many didn't get. The dream had just been another one of those things that he had somehow understood.

[Akkii]

((Somehow understood and remembered, despite only being a couple months old? XD))

"Akkii's little secret is getting quite difficult to keep." Shigure was smirking. The expression didn't touch his eyes. He really didn't seem to mind whether the secret was kept or not. So long as there were benefits that he could reap from that result, he'd be happy. He really did only care about himself. Truly, Shigure was one of the most twisted of the Juunishi. And he may even be considered more twisted than Akito.

((Kind of short, sorry. Hmmm... A thread where Akito and Dageus run into each other would be fun to do... should we?))
