Hey. Chapter three has arrived. Thanks to all you how are flowing along with this. I really appreciate it ^^. Note I do not own fruits baskets or any of the characters.

Taiyo ran to his house. He stood at the door to collect himself. The meeting with Akito replayed in his head. The tears flowed down his face. He sniffed and wiped his face. He couldn't tell anyone about this. Actually even if he could he had no one to tell. His parents would yell at him and Shigure would ignore him.

Taiyo took a deep breath and stepped inside. He looked around as he slipped into his house slippers. Nobody was in sight. He hurried to the stairs.

Taiyo," came a yell from the living room.

Taiyo's heart dropped. He should have known he wasn't going to get by him mom.

"Taiyo! I called you. That means get in here now!"

Taiyo quickly walked it the living room.

"Yea ma'am," Taiyo asked.

His mother was at the desk working.

"Where were you?"

"I was just walking around," Taiyo said quickly lying.

"I know when you're lying. Where were you," his mother said getting up

"I'm not-," Taiyo was cut off when his mother slapped him. The new pain combined with the old one made him cry out.

His mother grabbed his face and looked at him.

"What happened to your face," she gritted out.

"I fell"

"Do we need o go over lying again. What happened to your face."

"Akito…Akito did it."

Taiyo watched his mother's eyes flare up.

"Who told you to go to the main house?"

"No one. I went by myself."

"Then you deserve what you got. You're such a pain Taiyo. You don't listen, your ungrateful…," his mom trailed off

"Why did you even give birth to me then," Taiyo asked quietly.

His mother face twisted into a snarl.

"I wish I didn't. Now go to your room now!"

Taiyo walked out with his head hung. His mother's words stung. He trudged up the stairs. When he got upstairs he heard laughter coming out of a cracked door.

Taiyo peeked in. It was his brother's room. Books piled up in every empty spot in his room.

He spotted Shigure and his friends Ayame, a teenage boy with long light grey hair and yellow eyes, and Hatori, a teenage boy with black hair and green eyes.

Taiyo stared at his brother. Why won't you play with me or even talk to me. This was something he thought about asking his brother every day. Stop ignoring me, Taiyo had the sudden urge to yell.

Why did everyone hate him? He hadn't done anything wrong. He went to school and did his chores, but no matter what good he did he got yelled at or hit.

Taiyo ran to his room. Anger swept through his body. He hated his mother for not being there for him. He hated his father. Taiyo grabbed a baseball from his desk. It was one or his only toys. But the one he hated the most was Shigure.

Taiyo throw the baseball. It sailed out the window. Broken glass scattered on the floor.

Taiyo stood their breathing heavily. Tears flowed done his face. At that moment all he want to do was die.
