A/N: …Yeah I know late update…sorry …again

Chapter 9 Tohru's warning.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! LEAVE ME ALONE I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!!" Yunari came storming into the house followed by Muro (he had caught up to her on the motorcycle).

"Yunari will you listen to me!" Muro asked stopping Yunari before she went into the living room. Shigure poked his head out from around the sliding doors.

"I think you said enough at my friend's house after kicking her door down!" Yunari snapped.

"Well excuse me for being angry! What else was I going to do? You would have only slammed the door on my face. How else would I get you to listen?" Muro yelled.

"You could have started by telling the truth but you decided to skip that part so I'm sorry if I don't want to listen to your lies." Yunari snapped back.

"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? I know I can't change the past Nari but please; don't hate me for the mistakes I made as a stupid kid." Tohru who had been upstairs walked down when she heard the shouting and was surprised to see Yunari back so soon. She noticed Muro stood there as well, he seemed so sad.

"I can never forgive you. Just go. Leave me alone." Yunari walked away from him heading for the stairs where Tohru was stood.

"Nari!" Muro grabbed her right wrist the one she always covers in an attempt to stop her. He was determined to make her listen to him. Yunari instantly pulled away, Tohru saw the tears that the young horse tried to fight back.

"There is only so much heartache I can take Muro! Just…Please just leave." Shigure had come out of the living room and was stood beside Muro as Yunari ran up the stairs most likely heading for the roof.

"Give it up Muro." Shigure said gesturing that he come into the living room. "She's been through enough." The red head sighed then followed Shigure's advise, as he walked into the small room open to the garden he saw that Yuki had returned (he had been out when he last came round to demand where Yunari was). "Tohru will you be a dear and make us some tea? Thank you." Shigure asked as Muro and Yuki stood in the living room.

Grey eyes met Green as the Rat and Rooster crossed paths.

"Let me guess? You hate me even more than you hate the Cat!" Muro asked almost amused this was possible.

"What do you care if I hate you? I think Yunari wishing it was you instead of her family is enough."

"He doesn't mean it." Shigure said closing the sliding door as Yuki left and sitting down opposite his fellow Zodiac member.

"After what happened I wouldn't blame her if she did."

"And what exactly did happen?" Tohru knocked before she walked into the room, two cups of tea on a small tray. "Thank you Tohru…Is something the matter?"

He asked noticing that she was fiddling with the rim of the tray.

"Yunari-san is she going to be alright? She was really upset."

"You shouldn't worry about things that don't concern you!" Muro snapped. "Who is she any way? Don't tell me she's an outsider? What do you think you're playing at Shigure?" Muro clenched his fists; he was not trusting of outsiders.

"Why should it concern you who is in this house? You are never here." Shigure answered back calmly sipping his tea.

III

Hours passed and day slowly gave in to the coming darkness, Yunari had been sat on the roof with Kyo as Muro sat below explaining things with Shigure. Tohru remained in the kitchen and in her room as she knew it wasn't her place.

"I'll be leaving now…"Muro entered the small kitchen as Tohru cleaned. "Make sure you tell Yunari okay. I don't want her sleeping on the roof, she'll catch a cold."

"You don't have to leave like this; you could always tell her how you feel." Muro laughed.

"And how do you know how I feel? All you heard was part of the argument. You have no idea what has gone on between us! So don't go telling me what to do!" the red headed member of the Sohma family stormed out of the house, Tohru being her typical self followed now worried that she had upset him and wanting to explain. As Muro and Tohru left the front of the house they noticed a small black limo car parked outside the house.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Muro said talking more to himself then Tohru. Tohru stepped back as a tall, black haired man stepped out of the car followed by a much older man.

"Muro-San! You were unexpected." The black haired one bowed in the manner of respect. "Is Yunari-Sama in? This is her place of residence correct?"

There is was again…Yunari-Sama ... the boy back in the park had addressed her the same way… who were these people?

"Kouga!" Muro stepped forward towards the one he had called 'Kouga'

"Pack it in you two!" The old man stepped before them. "Is the young lady here or not Muro-San?" He asked calmly.

"Yeah, but you're wasting your time." Kouga and his partner walked towards the house to be greeted by Shigure.

Yunari was sat on the veranda as everyone made their way into the adjoining room. Kouga and the older man knelt down and bowed.

"Yunari-Sama." Kouga spoke first. "It is a pleasure to see you are in good health.

"The answer is no." She responded without taking her eyes off the faint stars in the dark sky.

"But Yunari-Sama!" Kouga seemed to lose all clam as she blanked him. Tohru stood by the door watching, it seemed so odd to see the two men before Yunari sat so casually like they were nothing to her, in a way she reminded Tohru of Akito at the moment.

"My answer is still no. I am a Sohma and I plan to stay that way."

"But Yunari-Sama please" Kouga was cut off as the older man raised his hand and ordered him to be silent.

"Yunari-Sama, we understand your situation fully if you decision is based on your 'illness'-" The man was silenced as Yunari shot him a cold glance, Tohru had never seen so much fury in her eyes before, but by 'illness' did he mean the curse?

"You will not speak of that do you here me!"

"Yunari-Sama, we understand. Your brother was the same at first…"

"I am not my brother."

"We need you!" Kouga shouted out forgetting his place. Yunari laughed mockingly, shaking her head in disagreement.

"All you need is a front! Someone for them to target. What was it? Did Watari tell you I was back? Or did you have someone watching me? Perhaps it was both; I wouldn't but it past you."

"Your Brother died for this family!" Kouga yelled.

"My Brother died a fool!" Yunari shouted back. "I have no intention to die that way!" Yunari was now stood raving at the two men before her.

"Then what?" Asked the old man most calmly. "Do you plan on letting this 'illness' to eat away at you? Leave you with nothing? Perhaps you should have taken your own life…I see your parents died for nothing. They would be ashamed to see you now." Yunari's face became a perfect emotionless mask as the two stood to leave.

"I live not for them." The old man nodded and left without another word.

As everyone cleared the room once again, Muro pulled Tohru to the side.

"Tohru-San I don't know what you understood tonight but my advice is that you forget it. Forget everything you have seen, forget everything you have heard. Those men are of no importance. Don't even think about digging into this, if you open up wounds people will start to fall apart and naturally they will take you down with them."

"But that man he spoke about an 'illness' about her family…"

"The illness is nothing more than the curse, an excuse. Her family are dead. Died in an accident caused by her brother. That's all you need to know. Do you understand? Leave the secrets alone, the Sohma curse is one thing but this family has many more and they will destroy you."

"But…I…"

"Please Tohru-san. Break this dammed curse if you wish, I'm sure you do; why else are you here? But do nothing else; do not try to fix things that re beyond repair. I'm warning you, for your own wellbeing."
