Disclaimer: Sadly, Fruits Basket is not mine.

Summary: Tohru and Haru have known each other since kindergarten. After Kyoko dies in a car accident, who id there to help Tohru? A Tohru x Haru fic.

AN: Thnxs for all the reviews! Sorry for the delay! School is so hard! If you read much farther in the manga, you will read that Akito is really a girl. I also know you are all wondering why Haru can hug Tohru? Well read on…

Ch.4 : The Deal

Haru lay in Hatori's medical bed. Why was obeying Akito so hard? She was a good for nothing bitch. Just because she had a higher status, she thought that she could do anything she wanted. Well playing the role of their god did have its advantages. Such as having the power of me hugging Tohru.

Haru sighed, how did all of this happen? He remembered that day, the day.

Flashback

"Haru, Akito has requested for your presence tomorrow." Hatori told him.

"Ha'ri, you're kidding right? I mean, it's my birthday tomorrow. Mom is throwing me a party. Dad's coming home. I haven't seen him for a year! Akito seriously couldn't want to see me tomorrow." Haru argued.

Hatori sighed. "I'm afraid you have to go to see her Haru. She has requested it. She has been in a good mood lightly. So you not going would change that attitude. Think of who other then yourself will have to feel her wrath."

Haru felt defeated. Hatori was right. If he didn't go, not only would Haru have to be punished, but Hatori, and probably Yuki as well.

"All right I'll go. What time should I be there?"

"Nine in the morning."

Haru jumped up. "But then, I won't get time to spend at my party."

Hatori felt sorry for the little boy. "I'm afraid so Haru."

And with that Hatori left a sad Haru silently crying all alone.

The next morning, Haru got up and went to Akito's chambers. Why, why today? I never see my parents. So why today? As he arrived to the door to Akito's room, Haru paused before he knocked. Thoughts went through his mind. But he pushed them away and knocked on the door.

"Come in." answered a cold voice.

Haru opened the door. It was dark. Just like Akito's heart. He approached Akito and kneeled.

"What good manners you have my stupid cow." Haru winced at those words.

"You do know that today you are five? You have been a very good cow Haru. So I have decided to grant you one wish as a birthday present. You don't have to thank me. There is something else with this present. What is that you wish for?"

Haru thought about this. Hugging my mother. Any outsider for that fact.

"Akito-sama, I would like to be able to hug an outsider." Haru responded.

Akito chuckled at that. "Well, my dear stupid cow, I will grant you this wish. But there are conditions."

Haru's head snapped up. What conditions?

"First, you must never communicate with Yuki again. Unless I give you permission. Second, you may only hug one person. Choose wisely. This person does not include your mother or any of your close relatives. Because then, the other Junishi would know of my gift to you."

Haru was disappointed. He wanted to hug his mother, and his grandmother, and anybody else. And not talking to Yuki. Kami, this was going to be hard.

"Thank you Akito-sama, I reallt appreciate this gift. I will follow those conditions. "

Akito snickered. "You think those the only conditions? There are two more. Third of all, you must respect me. No disobedience. And fourth, the girl you choose to hug, if she does not declare her love for you by the time you turn 17, her memories will be erased. Do you understand?"

Haru was shocked. Who was he going to find who he would love him? "Yes Akito-sama. Thank you very much."

"Get out of here. I can't stand to look at you anymore."

Haru rushed out of the room. The next day he started school. And Tohru had hugged him by accident.

End Flashback.

Haru was stressed out. He couldn't force Tohru to love him. His mother barely loved him. The only people who cared for him were Rin and Yuki. And he hadn't to Yuki in months. It was forbidden. He still remembered the look of hurt on Yuki's face when he closed the door on him. That had hurt him a lot.

What did I get myself into?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….
