A/N: Everyone knows how innocent Tohru is and how she always sees good in everyone. Well what might happen if her innocence got the better of her and she saw good in the wrong person? I'm going to write the story and I know things such as rape are bad so if you don't want to read this story then don't but if you do please beware. The curse is broken but it's not broken due to how the manga described. In my story the curse has just been broken. This story also takes place after high school is over.

OoOoOoO

Chapter 1: A Horrific Incident

It was another late night of work for Tohru and she was exhausted. While finishing up her cleaning she sees Momiji bouncing towards her acting like the zodiac rabbit he use to be before the Sohma family curse had been broken. "Hello there Momiji. Are you here kind of late?"

He smiled that cute childish smile that Tohru had come to really adore. "Oh Tohru its fine. Papa knows I'm here. I stayed late so I could walk you home. Shigure called here earlier and said that he wouldn't be able to walk you home because his editor was coming over. He didn't want you to walk home alone so he asked if I could walk home with you."

Tohru smiled. She knew how much Shigure loved to torment his editor when she came pawing around looking for his newest manuscript. "I'll be okay walking home. It's not that far at all. Really I'll be just fine."

Momiji seemed uncertain about letting her leave on her own but before he could protest like Tohru knew he would his father turned the corner. "Momiji come on and I'll take you home."

Tohru could see his indecision over wanting to spend more time with his father and wanting to make sure she got home safe. "Really Momiji I'll be fine on my own."

Not wanting to argue with her in front of his father he quickly relented. "Okay bye Tohru! I'll see you tomorrow!"

Tohru smiled as she waved goodbye watching him follow his father. Turning back to her chores she quickly finished them and prepared to leave for home.

Walking out of the building she pulled her sweater tighter around her fighting against the chill of the autumn night. The street seemed to be deserted of other people as she started on her way and that was fine with her. A few cars dotted the road every now and again their lights blazing before disappearing around a corner or being turned off as the car was parked.

When she reached the first intersection crossing she stopped waiting for the walk sign across the street to light up. She heard footsteps coming up behind her so she glanced over her shoulder to see a lone man walking her way. Thinking he was completely harmless she glanced again at the walk sign, seeing it lit up she began crossing the intersection. Halfway to the other side she heard the footsteps from the man pick up speed. Thinking he was trying to make it to the other side before the light changed she kept on walking and then suddenly she felt a hand clasp over her mouth while an arm wrapped itself around her waist.

Tohru struggled uselessly for a minute and realizing she wasn't getting free she raised her eyes to see the man that had been behind her only moment before. She wanted to scream as he began pulling her to the other side of the intersection and down a street in the opposite direction of her home. She glanced around frantically hoping to see anybody or anything that might help her but she saw nothing. Oh why didn't I just let Momiji walk me home? Maybe if he had been with me this wouldn't be happening and I'd be home safe and getting ready for bed. Oh what am I going to do?

Tohru was forced into an alley between two buildings and tried to fight her captor as he dragged into a side door belonging to the left hand building. Once inside her eyes took a minute to adjust to the dim lighting and when she did she noticed she was in one of the old abandoned buildings not too far from her home or her work.

The man dragged her through several rooms and up a flight of stairs before finally hauling her into a room and tossing her into a heap on a grungy pile of tattered clothing and newspapers. She watched as her captor locked the door behind her and stalked towards her with a maniacal grin spreading across his unshaven face. She tried to force a scream but like the rest of her body her lungs were frozen in terror. What is he going to do with me? Why me? I just want to go home.

Tears leaked from her eyes as he dropped to his knees before her. As he leaned towards her she could smell sake on his breath. She tried turning her face away from him but he reached out and kept her face held firmly as he placed his mouth on her forcing his tongue inside. Shaking in fear and unable to move her face away she was forced to taste the sake on his tongue and she wanted to gag.

She felt his other hand begin to fight his way under her shirt and her scream was stifled by the man's putrid mouth. He swallowed her scream grinning against her mouth as his hand roughly grabbed and kneaded at her breasts before moving down to the hem of her skirt. Her tears were falling fast and freely now as he ripped her skirt from her and then her panties. She lay there half naked now and could feel the man run his free hand up one of her legs and then her thigh before forcibly jamming inside her. She tried using her feet to kick him away but he managed to find a way to hold her still as his fingers jammed in and out her causing her horrible pain.

Tohru couldn't believe what was happening. For all her innocence she never imagined something like this could ever happen to her. She had heard other girls laughing and joking about this happening to a classmate a couple of years ago but they wouldn't laugh now if they knew how horrible and frightening it was. Tohru had never felt such fear before and her fear was consuming her causing her world to become nothing but the black of darkness. The last thing her mine registered was a searing pain before she fell into the welcoming arms of oblivion.

OoOoOoO

Tohru slowly opened her eyes and peered around her. It was still dark so it was still night time and she saw no hint of dawn so it couldn't be that late. She had no idea how long she had been out but glancing around the room she saw no sign of the man who has so violently raped her and taken her innocence away. Tears spilled from her eyes as sobs shook her aching body. She had to get away from there before he returned but even moving towards the door frightened her. She was afraid the man might be somewhere in the building but knowing that he could come back here looking for her fueled her fear enough that she stood on shaking legs and put her cast off skirt and panties back on before she walked to the door.

Opening the door slowing she poked her head out and looked up and down the hallway and seeing no sign of him she quickly walked out retracing their steps from earlier. Seeing the door to the outside only feet away she began running. Throwing it open she rushed out and took off as fast as she could down the street towards the safety of home.

She never once looked over her shoulder until she reached the grove of trees that lined the road down to her house. Stepping briefly into their shadows she stopped to catch her breath and finally let herself look back the way she came. She sighed in relief when she saw nothing to indicate that she had been followed. She knew she was safe now. She turned in the direction of home and saw lights still on and she knew she would be there within minutes and she would be safely embraced by the house's warmth.

Righting her clothes a little better and calming her breathing she stepped out of the trees and headed up the path to the house. There was no need to bother Shigure with what happened. I don't want to be a burden to him or the others. I can handle this on my own. Yuki and Kyo are so busy now with college entrance exams that if I were to tell them I know they'd lose focus and I don't want that. Yeah I'll just keep it to myself.

With that in mind she forced a smile and walked inside. Shigure, Yuki and Kyo were sitting around the table in the dining room. Shigure's editor was slumped against the wall in defeat while Shigure just rattled nonsense at her. When they heard Tohru enter they turned towards her and fate seemed to be on her side because they didn't seem to notice anything different.

"Welcome home Tohru. I hope they aren't working you to hard."

"Oh no no…I like working there. There are so many nice people and I see Momiji all the time."

"Did he walk you home? You're a couple hours later than usual."

Tohru didn't want to lie to Shigure but she had no other choice. "Um…no he went home with his father. I lost track of time as I was finishing my work. I'm sorry."

"Well you're home now and that's all that matters."

"I'll just go and make dinner now. I'm sorry that you had to wait so long. I'll keep better track of time for now on."

Tohru walked past Yuki and Kyo without a word and though she didn't notice as she walked into the kitchen they turned to look at each other wondering why she hadn't even glanced their way. Both of them figuring she had a long day from the tired and wary expression she wore decided to let it drop as they quietly sat there waiting for dinner.
