Akari: IM FINALLY BACK! ;D

Kyo: Finally! Geez, you sure do leave the reviewers waiting don't you?

Akari: I have my reasons... anime, manga, vocaloid, travelling, daydreaming, fan girl screaming, reading yaoi. The list is endless!

MaxwellsFanFic: Well, at least your back! ^^

Kyo: Oh shut up little boy..

MaxwellsFanFic: O.o

Akari: Nyahaha.. You two are funny.. Anyway! I do not own Fruits Basket or any of its characters! It's also the Christmas holidays now so I have a lot of stuff to do ^^ Here is chapter 9!

They say that opposites don't attract,

Some people agree with this so called theory,

But you can't help it when you fall in love,

You only find your true love once right?

Here's a quick re-cap since it's been a while...

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Akito yelled the loudest that I had ever heard him yell. "I'm sorry, but this is just the message I heard from Shigure.." I took a few slow steps back, and watched Akito's face fill with rage. "I don't care if you heard it from fucking Momiji. Kyo and Yuki cannot fall in love, Hatori! They are both male cousins for crying out loud." The darkness of the room made me feel uncomfortable; I just hoped that Akito wouldn't 'shoot the messenger'

"You have to make sure that nothing happens between those two. Otherwise I will punish Kyo and Yuki, along with you." I quickly nodded and excused myself to go and take a shower. Maybe I should have just kept my mouth shut about the whole thing. But I did promise to tell everything to Akito about anything suspicious that might be happening in the family. I just hoped that Kyo and Yuki wouldn't get in trouble for it...

Okay, maybe the recap wasn't that quick xD

Onwards with chapter 7!

Tohru's Pov

2 Hours have already passed since I woke up this morning. Usually I don't wake up this morning and take forever to mess with my clothes and hair, but today was an important day. It was finally Sunday. The day when I meet Haru in the park. I wonder what the important thing he wanted to tell me is all about.

Well whatever it's about, it's probably going to be important. After all, he did stutter on the phone which is rare for him.

After about 10 minutes of trying to find the perfect outfit to wear, I decided on wearing a white dress with cherry blossoms all over it.

Today was going to be a great day, at least I hope so...

Kyo's Pov

I woke up to the lovely sight of Yuki, with his arms around me. Could this day get any better than this?

"Kyooooooo!" It was Shigure's worried voice that called from behind the door, waking Yuki up. "What is it you damn pervert?!" I yelled back. Instead of his usual whining on how mean I was, Shigure quietly opened the door with his phone in his hand, walking towards the bed with his face looking very gloomy.

"It's for you..." He passed me the phone and I hesitantly put it to my ear.

"Hello?"

There was no reply for a few seconds, just the sound of someone breathing really quickly. "Kyo.." The voice growled. There was no doubt that the voice was none other than Akito. "Uh..Yeah what is it?" I asked, he didn't reply, instead I heard Hatori's voice in the background. "Please Akito, you're not planning on yelling at him are you? He hasn't done anything wrong..." Have I ever told him that I'm grateful towards him? Because I knew what Akito was going to say next..

"Shut the hell up Hatori. He needs to learn a lesson about how the Sohma family does not allow this sort of thing!" He yelled, "Listen to me Kyo. I will not allow you to have these fucked up feelings towards Yuki, I WILL NOT ALLOW IT! Do you understand or not?!" Akito yelled so loud that even Yuki and Shigure heard it.

I had no idea what to say to him. I wanted to stand up for me and Yuki and tell Akito a piece of my mind, but who knows what he could do to us afterwards...

Then a lightbulb appeared in my mind.

I know!

"I'm sorry Akito. But fuck you. You can't tell us what to do with our lives. If we choose to become gay, then we'll do just that!" I yelled. There was silence on the other end of the phone, all except for the sound of his breath. "JUST YOU WAIT!" Akito yelled then he hung up.

Shigure and Yuki gasped.

Today was going to be when all hell breaks loose.

A few hours later~ Tohru's Pov~

I felt so incredibly nervous for what Haru had to tell me about. 'cause I have to tell you something important... This sentence replayed over and over in my mind. The way he said it... He sounded so nervous. What does he want to tell me?

"Tohru!"

It was Haru's voice coming from behind me. I turned around and watched him run after me with a picnic basket in one hand, and a smile on his face.

"Hey! You look pretty today.." He smiled, looking at my dress, I blushed. "T-thanks..." I guess my hard work payed off...

"Let's sit over here.." Haru walked over to a huge tree and sat down beside it; I sat down next to him and watched him as he opened the basket. My eyes widened at the lunch he made. There were two beautifully made bento boxes and two cans of coke. "Wow, did you make those?" I asked as he got them out and gave one to me. "Yeah, Hatori taught me how to cook the other day. I never knew that he was such a great cooking teacher!" We both laughed and got right into eating.

A few minutes later~

After a lot of conversation about school and about Yuki and Kyo, Haru said something as we were walking home that surprised me. "There's actually something I wanted to tell you.." He mumbled just loud enough for me to hear.

"What is it?" I managed to reply quietly.

"I-I..Love..." He kept on stuttering and I couldn't make out what he wanted to tell me. "I-I...Lo—" Suddenly there was the familiar sound of someone yelling, more like screaming actually. It was the most horrific scene I had ever seen. Kyo and Yuki were running, hand in hand, while Akito chased them across the field with an axe in one hand and his other hand was holding his side which was dripping with blood, and he looked super angry.

"Don't you dare touch us you freak!" Kyo shouted to Akito who looked like he was getting puffed out from running, but still looked just as angry. "You can't talk to me like that Kyo! IM the head of the family you idiot!" Akito screamed back at him, speeding up. Yuki just ran with Kyo with a scared look on his face.

"S-should we help them?" I asked Haru as he stood with his mouth open.

"No...I think we should just hope that Kyo and Yuki doesn't get killed, and just leave quietly like we never saw anything.." I nodded and we quickly turned around and took the opposite path home.

A few hours earlier ~ Kyo's Pov

"That...what did you do that for Kyo?" Shigure stood before me, he was shocked at the previous conversation I had with Akito on phone.

"I had to prove my point to him.." I replied coolly, looking out the window with a blank expression.

"W-what will we do if he comes here angry?" Yuki asked with fear written all over his cute little face.

"Then we run.."

A few minutes later, Yuki and I returned to doing what we usually do on a Sunday, look after Yuki's garden. Or also known as his Secret Base. It was a little boring, just pulling out weeds and stuff, but once I saw how hard Yuki was working as he tried to pull out those big weeds, I couldn't help but try my best to help him. I just can't resist that cute face of his..

Then all of a sudden, we hear the sound of someone loudly knocking on the door, well it was more like banging on the door. Yuki jumped at the startling sound and I held back a chuckle. Immediately I realise who the person could have been. Akito.

I stood up quickly and grabbed Yuki's hand.

"We have to get out of here...Now"

Yuki seemed startled but he stood up and we both ran through our secret escape plan which no one else knows about but us. It's located at the back of the house, through a deep forest. But if you run straight through the middle, you eventually reach town.

As we ran, Yuki's hand firmly held my hand, and the sound of the banging slowly faded and we no longer heard it.

XxX

After all of the running we did, Yuki and I finally reached an open field, so we collapsed onto our backs on the ground and caught our breath.

"Will..He...find us here do..you think?" Yuki panted.

"No I doubt it, unless he saw us. But he couldn't have, he was out the front."

"Yeah you're right..."

I stared at the sky for a while. It was so peacefully quiet here, no loud noises...

*BANG!* A gun was fired.

"AAAAHHHH!" It was the scream of Akito.

Me and Yuki shot up from the ground and looked around for the source of the loud noise. But there was no one in sight, there wasn't even a single bird in the sky. Then I saw a faint shadow from inside the forest, and it was walking, well more like limping, towards us.

Then Akito came into view and I gasped. He was shot in the side, blood dripping everywhere, and in his hand was a huge axe which he barely managed to hold in the air. He looked super weak, but still had an angry face.

"Should we ask who shot him?" Yuki whispered as we both watched him limp towards us with a glare that said he was going to kill us.

"Better not.." I whispered back.

"I've...finally..found you two.." He yelled while panting. Then after a few seconds of awkward silence, Akito straightened up, and smirked at us as if he hadn't been shot, as if he regained all of his energy somehow, and ran towards us with his axe in his hand.

"DIE FUCKERS!" Akito screamed at us with the deadliest look on his face.

Then without another word, Yuki and I ran for our lives.

Yuki looked like he was beginning to get tired from running after a few minutes. So I grabbed his hand and he ran with me.

Back to the present ~ Kyo's Pov

After what seemed like forever, we finally lost sight of Akito, he must have lost too much blood and collapsed somewhere. But I wasn't worried about Akito, I was more worried about Yuki, because of his bad asthma, he was wheezing and coughing when we had a rest in an empty park which I had no idea existed.

"Are you okay Yuki?" I felt bad that I had started this whole thing with Akito, and poor Yuki just got dragged into it.

I gently patted his back while he breathed heavily and his face turned pale. I then gasped because he then fell onto the ground and I assumed he had fainted. I caught him and started to freak out. Where was Hatori when you need him?!

I frantically looked around, but I didn't recognise this place at all, so I couldn't tell where to go to get back to Hatori. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and called Hatori.

*Ring*

*Ring*

"Hello Hatori here.."

"Hatori! I need you to get here quick! Yuki's fainted and I don't know where I am and I don't know what to do"

"Okay, I'll be there in a sec"

Then he hung up.

I wondered how he would find me since I didn't know where I was myself. I laid Yuki on the grass, took off my jacket and placed it over him. "I hope you'll be ok.." I whispered to him.

XxX

Tohru's Pov

Haru walked me home after we saw the scene with Akito, Kyo and Yuki. It was silent the whole walk there, and Haru stared at his feet the whole time and it looked like he had a lot on his mind. Wait, wasn't he going to tell me something before? But he got interrupted...

He said..

I-I..Love—

I remember now, what was he going to say? What did he love?

"Hey Haru..." I broke the silence and he looked up from staring at the ground.

"Yeah?"

"Well...What were you going to tell me before? Remember you get interrupted by Akito.." His whole face went red and he quickly looked away. "N-never mind..It wasn't important anyway.."

I sighed. I really wanted to know, but if it wasn't important then..Oh well...

When we reached my house, Haru gloomily said goodbye and left without a smile, maybe he's feeling sick..

Haru's Pov

I said goodbye to Tohru and walked back home. I feel bad that I didn't confess to her when she asked what I was going to tell her. Why...Why am I so stupid? Next time I see her, I will definitely tell her. I won't even think about it, I'll just...straight out and tell her. I mean, how hard can it be to say 3 words to someone you like?

Kyo's Pov

We got back to the Sohma House and Hatori treated Yuki with some medicine but he said that he had to stay there because he needed some more bed rest. "But wait, what if Akito comes back and does something to Yuki?" I asked him as he pulled the blanket over Yuki as he slept on the futon. "Don't worry, I'll make sure that Akito stays well away from this room. He never goes in this room anyway because it is a spare room after all."

"Oh good.." I sat on the chair that was beside Yuki and watched him sleep peacefully, the small amount of colour returned to his face, I felt relieved.

"You should be getting home now Kyo. It's getting dark you know, and Akito is coming home soon after he makes a trip to the hospital.."

"But...Can't I stay here and make sure he's ok?"

"I'm sorry but you can't, if Akito finds out your here, who knows what he'll do.."

"Ok fine.." I sighed, "Just make sure nothing happens got it?"

"You have my word..Be safe on your way home"

"Bye.." I had another look at Yuki before I left the room and walked home. If Akito does anything to Yuki, I'll surely kill him...

A few hours later ~ Hatori's Pov

After giving Yuki his dinner, I locked the door that Yuki was staying in. Just in case. "Hatori! Get here now" I heard Akito call from down the hall, and by his tone of voice, I could tell that he wasn't in the best of moods.

He limped over to me with his hand over where he was supposedly shot; it was bandaged tightly by the looks of it. "Remember what I told you a few days ago?" His voice was strained from pain. "Yes sir I do.." His voice replayed inside my mind. You have to make sure that nothing happens between those two. Otherwise I will punish Kyo and Yuki, along with you...

"Well today I saw them together again, and they were holding hands..." Akito gritted his teeth, "So that means I have to punish you..." He paused and thought for a moment then he continued, "You must clean that spare room that hasn't been used in years, also you must promise to never go near those fools ever again. Kyo and Yuki. But don't worry, they won't be living for much longer.." He smirked. Wait doesn't he mean the room that Yuki's currently sleeping in?!

"Yes sir, I'll clean the room straight away.." I turned around and walked towards the room. What was I going to do? "Wait Hatori!" He called.

"Hm yes?"

"Let me watch you clean the room so I know you're doing it properly.."

I sweat dropped.

"That won't be necessary sir. I will surely do it properly.."

"Are you defying my order?"

I'm sorry Kyo...

"I'm sorry sir.. You can watch me clean, its fine..." I sighed and helped him walk over to the room where Yu

ki slept. What will Akito do when he sees Yuki sleeping in there? Only time will tell...

Stay tuned for chapter 10! What will Akito do when he finds out that Yuki is sleeping in his house? Will Kyo really kill Hatori? And who shot Akito? Find out soon! ^^
