Lieutenant Luna:

Hahaha yes! That's the whole reason why I wrote that scene cause I had this crazy dream of Akito almost dying and chasing Kyo and Yuki with an axe xD

xXLollipopsxlovexmeXx:

I'm glad you think its suspenseful and exciting! ;3 For a while I had no idea who Tohru should have gone with so all I thought of was Haru, so there you go! ^^

Akari: Okay so, I do not own Fruits Basket or any of its characters and please enjoy the suspenseful chapter 10! I hope this story doesn't turn as dark as the idea in my head.. But anyway! ^^ Oh yeah by the way, this chapter will contain..Uhh.. The killing of someone.. It won't get that gory but I'm just warning you...

MaxwellsFanFic: Enjoy chapter 10!

Kyo: Akari already said that you baby...

Akari: Stop fighting you two! D:

Heres a recap~ ^^

"I'm sorry sir.. You can watch me clean, its fine..." I sighed and helped him walk over to the room where Yuki slept. What will Akito do when he sees Yuki sleeping in there? Only time will tell...

End of recap~

Hatori's Pov~

I helped Akito walk over to the room, and each slow step I took I felt more and more nervous. What would Akito do to me? I mean he was threatening to kill Kyo and Yuki with an axe only a few hours ago.

But it was too late to make any more excuses; I unlocked the door and opened the door that revealed Yuki, peacefully sleeping.

Akito gasped and blinked a few times as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"W-what is Yuki doing in here?!" He yelled, causing Yuki to awaken.

"He..Had a asthma attack and..he needs to get some bed rest.." I quietly replied.

Yuki coughed slightly to break the silence.

"That's it! I'm sick of you not telling me everything that happens in this house!" Akito turned to me with the deadliest look I have ever seen. "I-I'm..sorry sir.." I replied quietly. "It's too late for apologises Hatori! I'm raising your punishment. So wait here!" Akito hobbled down the hallway and went into the lounge room.

What was my punishment going to be?

Yuki's Pov~

I could tell what Hatori's punishment was going to be just by the look on Akito's face. It was the same look from when he was chasing me and Kyo with an axe. That look that says: I'm going to kill you with my axe...

Hatori's Pov~

I waited patiently for Akito to return but instead of him returning to the room, he called me over to the lounge room with him. "I'm going to do something that Yuki shouldn't see only because he is sick..." Akito's eyes were hidden behind his fringe.

"Sit on that chair now!" He commanded and pointed to the kitchen chair. I quietly obeyed and sat down. Akito then pulled some rope from behind his back and tied my hands and feet to the chair. Okay I must admit, this is scary...

When he was finished tying my hands and feet tightly to the chair, he took a few small steps back and picked up his axe which was leaning against the lounge.

Oh, I see what my punishment is now...

Then without another word, Akito swung his axe and then...

"AHHHHHH!"

It hurt so much. Then my vision went black.

Yuki's Pov~

"AHHHHH!"

The loud scream of Hatori made me jump.

Then as soon as I heard the splash of blood on the wooden floor, I knew that he was dead. My only friend as a child. The tears wouldn't stop.

Flashback~

I curled up into a ball on top of my bed and cried my eyes out. The sounds of Hatori screaming and the sound of that whip. I couldn't believe that he got in trouble, because of me...

It was on a rainy afternoon, Hatori and I were told to go outside, even though it was pouring raining. The only place where it wasn't soaked with rain was under a huge tree, so we sat under there.

But because it was so cold outside and rain triggers my asthma somehow. I started to cough and sneeze. Hatori put his warm arms around me to warm me up and my coughing stopped. I think we stayed there for an hour before the rain stopped, but by that time we had both fallen asleep and we didn't see that Akito was angry at how we were hugging.

End of flashback~

I should have ran as soon as I heard him scream, but since the last thing he told me was to stay in bed because I needed bed rest, I had no other choice but to stay in bed and pretend as if I hadn't heard anything.

I heard Akito's footsteps as he walked down the hallway. What was he going to do to me? I mean just a few hours ago he was threatening to kill Kyo and me with his axe. I just hoped that Akito wouldn't kill me while Kyo isn't here.

I blankly stared at Akito when he walked into the room. He had blood all over his purple kimono and his eyes were black and soulless, it was pretty obvious that he had just killed Hatori.

I watched him as he sat down on the chair next to me. He stared at me for what seemed like forever before he spoke. "...I won't kill you today Yuki. But you can expect to be killed sometime this week; I can't kill two people in one day. It wouldn't seem right." I sighed with relief, at least he was being modest.

"T-thank you.." Is all that came to my mind; I had no idea why I just thanked him like that. I was feeling super annoyed that he just killed my friend. But I can't talk to him like that, not now...

"I'll let you get some rest.." And with that, Akito left the room with absolutely no emotion showing on his face. How can he act so normally when he just killed the only person that actually takes care of him? I really don't understand him...

A few minutes later of thinking about Akito and Hatori, I finally fell asleep.

Tohru's Pov

"What?! Akito killed Hatori?! And now you have to become his personal slave?!" I couldn't believe what Shigure had just told me. It couldn't be true, it just couldn't! Kyo, Shigure and I all sat around the table eating miso soup for dinner when Shigure had gotten a phone call from Akito.

The phone call flashback ~ Shigure's Pov~

I had sparkles in my eyes as I watched Tohru place the bowl of miso in front of me. "Itadakimasu—"

*Ring ring!*

I sighed. "I guess I'll answer it.." I pouted and walked over to the phone.

"Hello?" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds; the only sound was the sound of very light breathing.

"It's Akito. I have just called to inform you that Hatori has just died from a brutal axe chop to the head. I had enough of him so I decided to kill him." Akito spoke with no emotion.

"WHAT?!" It just slipped out of my mouth.

"You can arrange the funeral. Also now that he's dead, I need you to become my personal slave. You know, cook, clean, and take care of the house."

I was about to protest but I remembered that I was talking to Akito. "Y-yes sir. I'll come over as soon as I finish eating dinner."

"Good.." Then he hung up. My mouth was hanging open; please tell me that he was just lying...

End of phone call flashback ~ xD

"Yes, it's true..." Shigure pouted. Then there was that uncomfortable silence, once again.

XxX

After dinner, Shigure went to Akito's house and told us that we probably won't see much of him anymore since Akito needs someone to help him all the time.

Kyo and I both went to bed early and we both had the awful thought of Hatori's death on our minds.

And the important question was also on my mind. Who would Akito kill next?

XxX

Kyo's Pov

I woke up earlier than usual this morning, mainly because I really wanted to check up on Yuki since Hatori got killed in the same house that Yuki is staying in. Luckily it's the Christmas Holidays too, so I didn't have to wait until after school to see him.

When I arrived there, I hesitantly walked through the lounge room that had a large patch of blood in the middle of the room. The room had death written all over to it. Luckily Akito must have still been sleeping when I got there because I sure didn't want to run into him while I was here.

All I have to do is to grab Yuki and get out of here, before Yuki is one of his victims.

I didn't bother to knock on the door; I opened the door that Yuki was in and sighed with relief. Yuki was peacefully sleeping on the futon and didn't appear to have been hurt in any way by Akito. I felt bad for waking him up when he looked so peaceful, but I need to get him out of here, away from this crazy house.

"Yuki, wake up.." I whispered into his ear and his eyes fluttered open and he immediately smiled. "It's good to see you Kyo..." He said ever so quietly.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah a little bit..." He stopped smiling and sadness swept over his face. I knew why he felt sad all of a sudden. He must have heard when Hatori was killed, after all Hatori was his only friend when he was little.

"Come on, we have to get out of here. Before Akito wakes up—"

I was interrupted by the door swinging open. Akito stood with his axe in his hand, a smirk on his face, and emotionless eyes. His purple kimono was covered in faded blood which I assumed to be when he killed Hatori.

"Today is the day when the both of you die..." Yuki and I gasped. There was no escape this time; he was standing in the doorway, with an axe and a crazy look on his face. I frantically searched the room for some sort of escape from the room while Akito took slow steps towards us.

Light bulb!

I quickly picked up Yuki and jumped through the open window. "Oh no you don't!" He yelled. Just as I jumped through the window, he swung his axe and missed me. Lucky I was quick; otherwise that sharp axe would have hit Yuki or me.

I ran as fast as I could, through the long backyard and jumped the fence. I didn't dare look behind me as I ran, but I could still hear the shouting of his voice fade as I ran home. Yuki looked extremely scared.

XxX

We finally got home in one piece and Akito must have given up because he wasn't in sight anymore. I went upstairs and placed Yuki back onto his bed and sat next to him. "That was scary..." Yuki stared at me while I caught my breath and I replied, "Yeah...Lets..never..go back..there again..." He nodded and pulled the blanket over me and him.

I was shocked a little but soon enough, we both fell asleep hugging.

XxX

The next morning, Yuki and I went downstairs to watch some TV, and we were surprised to see that Akito was on the news.

"Yesterday evening, there was a sighting of a man chasing two young men with an axe. A girl named Kisa Sohma was walking home from her friend's house when she accidently came across the man with the axe. In the process of the man running, she was pushed aside with the man's axe and sadly she passed away this morning from blood loss. We have had confirmation that the man is named Akito Sohma, if you ever see this man then I suggest you stay well away from him. He had been arrested for only a short time and will be released in 2 days as a warning. Please stay well away from him."

We both gasped. Even Kisa got killed by him, and why isn't he going to jail for life or something?! I mean he's already killed two people now. Why only put him in jail for a few days? "The police sure are stupid.." I murmured with a growl. "Yeah... I don't get why he only gets put in jail for a few days.." Yuki murmured. "Well, we'd better be careful because we're probably next on his kill list... But don't worry; I'll protect you Yuki..." Yuki blushed and thanked me. Then we cuddled on the lounge and made the most of the 2 days of Akito being in jail...

Stay tuned for chapter 11! Akito's going on a killing rampage, so who will his next victims be? I forgot to mention who shot Akito, but anyway... xD Will Yuki and Kyo survive? Find out soon ^^
