Escape [Fruits Basket OC]

Your Highness

  That Saturday morning, Audrina woke and and fixed her some tea. Her first task for the day was to inform Akito that she'd have someone over.

  Fixing herself up she put on shorts and a sweatshirt and head over to the section of the estate in which Akito stayed. At the time she was heading over there, was one of the few times that the estate was calm.

She didn't hear shouting coming for the room, Akito stayed in, neither have she seen the older estate members walking around. They either were at there job or just waking up. It was early, the time she agreed on with Amrin. He told her that was the only way that he'd be able to meet outside of school, and of course she respected it. So that's why, when she had stepped up to knock on Akito's doors there was an immediate answer.

"Audrina?", Kureno, was walking up. She waved at him with a soft smile. Since they were younger, Kureno had been someone that to Audrina's surprise was not able to decipher. She had felt something between her and all the other Zodiacs that forced her to care for their well-being more than her own. But Kureno was the only exception, there was that bond yet, she never got to care if he ate before her. If he got as much sleep as her.

She just thought it was because Akito rarely let them interact, but it was still something that set her for a loop. Nonetheless, she smiled at him. A warm greeting to follow.

"Good morning"

He stopped beside her, she didn't ignore the nervous glance to the door. "Yea Good morning..... w-what are you doing here so early."

She nodded her head to the door, "I'm having someone over for a project. Just letting her know."

Kureno nodded, she still saw the apprehension in his movements. Which caused her to ask. It was rare again for her to see him, and when she did he was always around Akito. And although her seemed tense around her that wasn't an abnormal reaction for all the Zodiac members towards their God. But for him to be acting the same when she was presumably sleeping wasn't normal.

"Are you feeling okay?"

He was quick to answer nodding his head but he still glanced to the closed door. Like he was eager to go in.

"You sure? If you'd like you can come over. We could-.."

"Kureno!", the voice on the other side of the room was panicked. Audrina scrunched her eyebrows and turned to the door. "W-where is he! Kureno."

Audrina turned to him, and instead of just sounding panicked, every single feature on his face was fearful. He quickly turned the door knob and paced in.

"I'm right here Akito."

Audrina quietly followed him staying at the entrance of the door. She watched as Akito completely disregarded her presence, but upon seeing Kureno, she visibly relaxed. Even with tears streaming down her face. Audrina 's eyes widened at the small interaction, how she flimsy fell into Kureno's grasp.

The man refused to look to Audrina again. This was the first time anyone has caught the true panic of Kureno's absence and of course it had to be the one member of the Sohmas who was concerned for everyone's well being. She stood at the door entrance studying their encounter, after a couple of minutes the muffled sniffling subsided. That was when the child recognized the  hall light still reflecting in the room.

Akito lifted her head from Kureno's shoulder and immediately was repulsed by the sight. "What are you doing in here without my permission!"

Audrina wasn't bothered by her tone. Maybe she would have been if it was new, but Akito either spoke to her like that or a disgusted monotone-like voice. Instead she looked over the child to Kureno, he refused to look up and instead just faced his head down at the set she was sleeping on.
