Disclaimer: I do not own Fruit Baskets. Or any of the characters except for one I may add later. I just own the story. Yuki Sohma quietly sat in a green leather couch, reading and studying a big dusty dark red leather back book that was probably hundreds of years old. He was in his own personal secret library he had in the house. In there, white shelves were lined with books of all shapes and sizes from the floor to the ceiling. The walls were a elegant shade of red and the carpet was forest green with a red rug that had different designs in yellow. He studied a lot of things in that personal library of his, and it was a nice place to take a time off or do homework. The book he was currently reading and somewhat interested in was about physics.
Yuki Sohma, the rat of the Zodiac, is a very interesting person you could say. He had dark grey hair and big violet eyes. He was surprised no one had ever called him 'Girly Eyes' or 'Old Man'. He wasn't the tallest of all kids but he was satisfied about his height. But there was one thing that didn't satisfy Yuki Sohma. His popularity. He knew this would sound strange to some people, but he just wanted to be liked without being harassed by fan clubs. He wanted to walk without someone following him. He also wanted Kyo to like him better. Why did the cat blame him for not being part of the Zodiac when really it was his great great grandfather who did it? Though he would never show it, he actually respected Kyo in a way. And he wanted Kyo to feel the same.
Yuki sighed, put a small bookmark in the huge book, took off his glasses, and went outside when suddenly, a heavy muscled man shot something silver at him. A tranquilizer. Yuki was about to attack when suddenly, darkness fell upon him like a bottomless pit. The last thing Yuki remembered before he struck the ground was hitting his head on the sidewalk.
*Later*
Yuki awakened in a cold steel metal cage. Darkness filled the room and cage except for one dim light bulb hanging above his head which cast a dull gray light. His head hurt. It felt like someone was running chainsaws and jackhammers inside his head. His eyes glanced around and two men were there with Akito in their hands. She tried to struggle, but these two brutes have obviously been scientifically modified to not even feel pain because they weren't budging. They threw her in the cage with him and then Yuki heard them say before they left through the steel door, "I wonder why the tranquilizers didn't work on her."
Yuki reluctantly turned around to see Akito getting up, her teeth clenched. She had her hands tied with steel chains, but she broke them apart as if they were just thin pieces of paper. She then started snarling. He backed away a safe distance as she went to pull something out of her silk kimono. When Akito took it out, Yuki gasped in shock. In Akito's hand, was a knife. The blade shimmered, even in the dim light of the cage. The tip was so pointy that if Akito had threw it at a steel pipe, it would've gone all the way through.
"I'm going to kill her." snarled Akito, looking around. Yuki was wondering who she was talking about when suddenly, behind him, something was whimpering. He slowly turned around to see in one cage, Momiji, Haru, and Kagura, who was the one who was crying. Akito faced her, shouting cuss words so angrily and loudly, that Yuki thought his ears would peel off.
Kagura sat there trembling and whimpering, "I'm sorry Akito-sama. I thought I had finally found someone! Someone who loved me. I didn't know! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" she cried. Yuki couldn't help but feel bad for the crying boar. He knew what it felt like to love a girl. You put your complete trust in them. And I think Momiji knows that feeling too. I looked at them. They were hugging each other protectively. Momiji hiding his face in Haru's white shirt, not wanting to look.
Akito's anger flared. She roared, "Well, I'm going to have to make a new boar!" And she was about to throw the knife at a screaming Kagura. Yuki ran up. He knew what it meant to be betrayed. He knew what it meant to be hated. He knew what it meant to feel like a freak.
A loud CUNK could be heard throughout the room. Kagura screamed, not in pain but of horror an guilt. Momiji screamed along with her, and Haru stood there wide eyed in shock. Akito got out of her rage and was in shock and surprise too.
Yuki felt a thin line of hot sticky blood fall off his chin and onto the cage floor. He felt weak. He felt like he was flying away. Blood soaked his plain white shirt and skin like a river from where the silver knife, thrown from Akito, poked all the way through his stomach….to his bare back. He heard more screaming, coming from Kagura who was sobbing sorry over and over again. He also heard screaming from Akito who was shouting idiot and curses at Kagura. He felt himself fall. It all seemed in slow motion. Before he headed to the floor and possibly to heaven, he heard the shouts of a couple of other people. The workers who worked there, Haru, and…and…his closes family members. Shigure, Tohru, and even Kyo. Then…everything went white.
