A/N: Hey, this is my new story. Hope that you like it. Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket or characters. If I did, Kyo and Tohru would have realized that they liked each other sooner than they did in the manga. Also, Uo (who is called Yank all the time by Kyo) is Arisa in this story.
Chapter One: Akito's Threat and a Secret Revealed.
Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru walked down the hall way towards their class, talking and joking around.
"I'm serious. He actually said that," Kyo said while laughing. Tohru laughed as well as Yuki shook his head.
"Wow. I can't believe that he did. That doesn't sound like him," Tohru replied, still giggling as the three of them entered the classroom. Arisa and Hana looked at Kyo, who was still smiling, and then at each other.
"Hey, Orange Top, I don't think that I have ever seen you smile before," Arisa stated as Kyo looked over at her.
"And your point?" Kyo asked as he rolled his eyes at her. Arisa shrugged her shoulders.
"No point. I just have never seen you smile before." Arisa looked at Yuki, who just shrugged his shoulders.
"Yes, you mostly scowl," Hana stated monotone, like always. Tohru smiled, since she has seen Kyo smile before and seems to be the only one to get him to smile at home. Yuki heard the front door of the classroom open and turned to see who it was.
"Akito…"Yuki trailed off as he stiffened, causing Kyo and Tohru to turn and see the Souma family head.
"Akito…" Kyo trailed off as well as Hatsuharu walked in from the rear door. Haru saw that Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru were stiffened and glanced over to see Akito.
"Akito, what do you want?" Haru asked as he stepped in front of Arisa and Hana, while Kyo stepped in front of Tohru-pulling Yuki back so that he wasn't in front of everyone.
"I was hoping to talk to you three, seeing as that I can talk to Momiji later." Akito looked from Haru to Kyo to Yuki before looking at the girls. "Who are those two behind you Hatsuharu?"
"People who have no clue. They are to be left alone Akito." Yuki watched Akito as he looked back at the silver-haired teen.
"I was simply asking for their names." Akito grinned as Arisa started to stiffen as well, not liking the man in front of them. Hana just looked at him up and down, not noticing that she was in danger of losing her life. Yuki and Kyo glanced at Arisa and Hana before back at Akito.
"Why? They have no clue about our family. All they know is that Haru, Momiji, Kyo, and I are all related. Why must you drag them into this, when they have no clue?" Yuki questioned as Haru grabbed Hana's hand and pulled her, with Hana pulling Arisa, away from the area and towards the rear entrance of the classroom.
"I'm not, just simply being nice. That's all," Akito said with a shrug, showing that he didn't care if they had no clue about the Souma family curse or not.
"That's bull shit. Tohru, go with Haru, Arisa, and Hana. You don't need to be in this either." Kyo pushed her in the direction, never taking his eyes off of Akito. Once Tohru was outside of the class room, did Akito give his true reason for being there.
"Well, since you're wondering why I'm here, I'll tell you. I don't care if Tohru has been able to keep our family's curse a secret. I plan to have her memory erased at the end of this school year. Unless Kyo can defeat Yuki this year, that is." Akito started to laugh as Yuki and Kyo both started to get angry.
"Bastard! Why? She hasn't done anything wrong to you. All she has ever been was kind to you." Kyo grabbed Akito by his collar. Yuki just backed up a little bit and let Kyo get his anger out. "Why?"
"She is taking my zodiac away from me. Every member of the zodiac loves her more than they do me. I am god; I feel that she doesn't deserve the love." Akito smirked as Kyo's hand shook.
"Bastard. Want to know why the zodiac members love her more than you? She is kind, caring, cheerful, always smiling, she brings the light into our lives. You treat us like shit, especially those who have fears. Tohru, she never wants to ask for help from us. Whenever Hatori comes to check up on her, she always asks on how much she owes him. She won't let anyone help her. Not me, or Yuki, or Shigure, or Hatori, or Haru, or even her two friends. That's why she's loved more than you, she brings us so much more happiness than you do," Kyo said as Akito glared at him.
"I see that you love her. Yuki, what about you?" Akito looked at Yuki as he looked at Kyo.
"I love her, like a sister." Yuki looked at Akito, without a second thought. Akito glared and then forced Kyo's hand away from his neck. Akito walked to the door and turned around to face them.
"I will be back. You can't defy me. Tohru will no longer have her memories of us, not if I can help it!" Akito left with the threat hanging in the air. Tohru, Arisa, Hana and Haru came into the room soon after and walked up to Yuki and Kyo.
"Kyo?" Tohru asked as she walked up to him, since he still was stiff and staring at the door that Akito went through. Kyo looked at her before sitting down in a chair, shaking still.
"Tohru, my beads?" Kyo asked as he shook, like he was changing into his other form. Tohru took his right hand and lifted his sleeve up enough to see that his beads were still in place.
"They're still here. Kyo…"Tohru trailed off as Yuki placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Sis, he will be okay," Yuki said as he watched Kyo in concern as well.
"I know that brother. But, still." Tohru turned her attention back to Kyo as he continued to shake and wince in pain.
"Yuki…" Kyo gritted out as pain swelled through him. Yuki looked at Kyo as Tohru pulled his sleeve back down, wrapping her hand around his beads as if to help keep them there more. "Get…her…away…"
"Tohru, move!" Yuki pulled Tohru away just as Kyo's body showed signs that it was starting to change.
"I don't understand. Kyo, get up to the roof!" Tohru watched as he nodded his head and ran out of the classroom. Yuki held Tohru back as she tried to follow him.
"He isn't safe right now. He would hate himself if he hurt you right now." Yuki pulled Tohru back again when she fought.
"Brother, I don't understand. He has his beads on!" Tohru cried as Yuki glanced back at Haru.
"I know. I don't understand either. Haru, do you have any idea?" Yuki watched as Haru shook his head no.
"I'll call Hatori, maybe he has one." Haru walked out of the room, pulling a cell phone out on the way. Tohru shook as Yuki released her.
"Sis, I'll let you go up. Once Haru gets back. He and I will go up with you," Yuki said as he glanced at Arisa and Hana.
"We're coming too. Whoever that Akito guy was crept Carrot-Top out and we want to know why." Arisa and Hana stared at Tohru as Haru entered the room.
"Well?" Yuki inquired as he turned towards him.
"Hatori says that right now, get someone he trusts near him to help him calm down. He has no clue as to why this is happening with Kyo's beads still in place. He's calling master too. Master should know something, seeing that his grandfather was in Kyo's situation once." Haru shrugged his shoulders in confusion as he and Yuki turned to Tohru.
"Come on, sister. We need to get up to Kyo," Yuki said as he took her hand and led her out of the room- Haru, Hana, and Arisa following them. As they got closer to the roof, there was the scent of rotten flesh.
"God, that smells horrible. Why would he come up here?" Arisa asked as she pulled her face mask on. Hana nodded her head in agreement as she held a bandana up to her mouth and nose.
"We're close. He likes high places," Haru replied as he opened the door to the roof. Tohru heard Kyo growl as he turned to face them in his curse's true form.
"What the hell is that?" Arisa demanded as Tohru moved from Yuki's side. "Tohru do go near that!"
"Kyo, come on. You need to calm down. Whatever Akito said doesn't matter right now. Come back, for me?" Tohru asked as she knelt next to the cat and hugged his arm/shoulder. Kyo shook as he felt her touch and glanced up at the sky.
"Thanks, Tohru." Kyo looked back at her as she looked up into his face. Tohru smiled as he pulled her into a hug and held her close like he did when she first saw his form. Tohru looked shocked as he transformed into a cat in front of Arisa and Hana.
"Kyo…" Tohru trailed off as she looked at him.
"What the hell? He just turned into a cat!" Arisa shouted as Kyo suddenly looked over at them in shock of hearing her voice.
"Shit. I didn't even think to look if they were around…" Kyo trailed off as he moved off of Tohru and behind her, pulling his pants with him. Suddenly there was a poof of smoke and Kyo was back in human form.
"Any one of you want to explain this?" Haru asked as Kyo pulled his pants on and looked for his shirt.
"Nope. Any one of you seen my shirt? I managed to get that off before I changed into the true form." Kyo helped Tohru up before looking around for his shirt. Yuki and Haru shook their heads no, Arisa and Hana still in shock as to what they saw. Haru's phone started to ring.
"Hello?" Haru answered his phone before speaking again. "No, Tohru got him to calm down and change back. Yeah. Um, yeah we also have another problem…" Haru trailed off as he sweat-dropped to what the person on the other line was saying.
"Well, Tohru's friends kind of saw him transform back to human, cat, and human again. What should we do? School is out in like one-" the bell rang signaling the end of the school day, cutting Haru off.
"-correction right now. Yeah. Are you at Gure's? Okay, yeah we can get them to come. See you there." Haru hung up and looked at Yuki, who looked at Tohru and Kyo as he found his shirt and pulled it on. "Hatori is at Shigure's and he wants us to bring Arisa and Hana with us."
"Is that really a good idea though?" Tohru asked as she and Kyo walked back to them. Haru shrugged his shoulders.
