Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. Is that a surprise to any of you? I hope not.

I'd like to say thank you to moonflower (again .) for reviewing! I'm so happy I have someone that is reviewing, repeatedly! I will try to update quickly! I'm so glad somebody likes the song I chose for Tohru to sing, also! Wow, I must be hyper today... I've drawn a picture of Amaya, so if I ever get a scanner, I'll link it to my user page. Well, here's the story!

Chapter 3

Once Shigure was done mourning over his door,and then actually saw Amaya,everyone got settled for dinner, which was so kindly prepares by Tohru, like always.

"Itadakimasu, Tohru-san." Amaya thanked Tohru for the food as it was placed down onto the table. She looked pver the food once, and went strait for the edamame.

"Yes, itadakimasu. Amaya, how do you know Tohru-san?" Hatori, as polite as ever, went strait to buisness.

"Kyo-kun and I encountered Amaya-san on our way home from the grocery store, Hatori-san. I hope that answers your question." Tohru nodded her head respectfully at the end of her answer.

"It does, arigatou, Tohru-san. Amaya, you were not meant to leave the main house. Akito is furious." Everyone, save Tohru, around the table shivered, they all knew Akito was a horror when angry, especially to the one he was angry at.

Amaya's eyes widened, and her hand subconciously drifted to her sword as horrendous memories flashed through her head. Soon, Shigure's kitchen was replaced with Akito's room.

"It's your fault mother died! If you were never born, father wouldn't have committed suicide! You were born to make others suffer, to make them miserable! You're good at your job, too!" Akito screamed, obviously enraged.

"Nii-san, masaka, it can't be!" Amaya screamed in pain as Akito kicked her into the wall. "Ite-e! Nii-san, that hurt, why do you always hurt me? Do you hate me?" Once again, Amaya was kicked, this time knocking her into a vase, which shattered and cut her.

"It's all your fault, your fault you suffer, your fault I will die, it is your fault that everyone you love is in pain!" Akito this time grabbed Amaya's hair and pulled her up, before tossing her across the room once more. Then he walkedup to her and kicked her rib cage. With a crack, her ribs shattered, some pieces tried to poke through her skin to escape. The pain was unbearable, and she could tell Akito wasn't yet tired or done venting.

"Nii-san, onegai, it's all my fault... Don't hurt me..." As she muttered these words, Amaya felt herself slipping into unconciousness.

Suddenly, Shigure's kitchen flooded back, as the pain flooded out. She could see everyone, save Yuki, who was lost in thought, staring at her with concern, for she had been holding the same soy bean for at least five mintues.

"Amaya-san, do you not like the food? Did I cook it wrong?" Tohru asked, then the look on Amaya's face changed from shock to fear and rage, causing Tohru to jump back in fright.

"Kowaii! No, I'm not going back! I'm never going back! You can't make me!" Amaya stood up with such force, it tipped over the table, and all the food landed on and unsuspecting Yuki.

"Itia!" Yuki was disturbed from his thoughts as the food toppled over onto him. Everyone, except for Kyo, who was laughing his head off, went over to help Yuki. By the time they had rescued him from being buried under an avalanche of food, dishes, and chopsticks, Amaya was long gone, and so was any hope of finding her that night.

Hatori sighed, his current assignment had just gotten a lot harder that is was before. Neither could he go home, Akito said that he couldn't come back unless he had Amaya with him, or there would be consequences.

"You ever tell anyone the cure, I will lock you up forever. Amaya, are you listening!"

Akito's voice rang through Amaya's head, telling her things she hadn't wanted to hear at all, especially not repeatedly.

"You don't deserve to live, everyone hates you, becasue you make them miserable."

"It is true, I just made Hatori-ue miserable, now he will get in trouble." Amaya sighed, she knew someone was approaching. But who would there to approach her in this forest, which she had been living in for the past few weeks.

"My dear sister, listen to me, he hates you, they all hate you. You might as well die. Do you want to?"

"Amaya, please don't cry." The approacher said. They walked into the moonlight that was shining through the trees, it was a black cat.

"Rei-chan, Akito is right, all I do is make people miserable." Amaya sighed and lifted her hand to wipe away her tears.

"Akito is wrong, Amaya-chan, you do not make me miserable. And you only make others sad because you think it is what you always do, what you must do." Rei stretched her paw up to catch Amaya's hand. "It is alright to cry, little one. Just let it all out."

"Rei-chan, I do not know what I would do without you, arigatou." Amaya slowly put her hand back down. Rei copied her, and they both sat there in the moonlight, basking in its beauty, crying silently.

sniffs Ok, so here we go with the translations

Itadakimasu - what is said just as one is starting to eat, sort of thanking everyone and everything involved in making the meal

arigatou - another way to say thank you

nii-san - means older brother

masaka - an exclaimation meaning something like "can it be; no, it can't be"

Ite-e/Itai - an exclaimation that can be translated to "Ouch" or "That hurt"

onegai - means "pretty please" or "I beg of you"

Kowaii - although it looks like "kawaii" wich means "cute" it is very different, and can be translated to "scary" or "scary thought"

ue - literally means "above" and donates a high level of respect, it's not very common anymore, and is almost never (if at all) used in manga or anime
