Fruits Basket, "Unsaturated" Akito/Shigure drabble

[quirkysmuse]

Title: Unsaturated
Challenge: Transformation
Characters: Akito/Shigure
Warnings: Character identity spoiler.
Summary: Akito was amused to see the odious color robbed of its brightness.



'I detest pink.' Akito said in exasperation of her new kimono. Akito liked black; sugary colors reminded her of that hateful girl.

When the austere grays in her room reflected on the pink kimono, it turned into a dull murky peach.

To see the odious color robbed of its brightness amused her. She wrapped it around her shoulders.

"Ah, that's a different color on you, my Akito," Shigure had whispered, bringing a sliver of light with him when he slid inside her room. The bright pink soaked in warmth momentarily.

She lightly growled, throwing off the garment in rabid disgust.

Er, went searching through your memories and found this little drabble. I really like your characterization of Akito where she's almost 'yearning' to be more feminine by actually wearing the kimono but at the same time utterly disgusted with herself via the color.

Although, the question must be raised. Who would actually purchase/make her a kimono with that color? This makes me suspect Ayame may have had a hand.
