She woke up looking over at Yuki, he had changed back after all and he lay in his clothes from last night. She hurried to grab her things taking her time getting ready to see who she needed to see today. She hurry to brush her hair and put the ribbons that Yuki gave her at the hot springs. She would never forget that. She hurried to grab the diary, and few other things and she looked down at Yuki. Tears brimmed her eyes. She had fallen in love with the prince of the high school and he loved her. She kissed his cheek and left without a second thought to free the Sohma. She knew her plan, and she would sneak into the Sohma home by night. Just right now she would sneak out and hide for along time. The whelps on her skin didn't even have time to heal, she couldn't allow this curse to go on much longer.

He continued to lay there looking down at her. She tipped her head up looking the headmaster. He was smiling but he looked disgusted. "Torhu from the past is the Torhu now. How disgusting." he stood up. "So you didn't love Lenin, you loved that Rat. Yes it suits you so well. To love a rat." He bend down to her hand touched her hair. "Don't you feel disgusted? To be in love with that rat? To be just like Sia." He turn around. "Sia loved a rat, or Suki she pretended to be. To learn Lenin did kill our Sia only brings to the light of what he truly is. A stinking Rat!" He brought down a stick onto her back. She didn't scream.

It must have been bamboo for she felt it tear down her back of her shirt, and blood dripping down her back. The pain was much worse. She kept telling herself she wouldn't allow the tears to spill down onto the floor from her cheeks.

"Are you sorry you met us now Torhu? To be a Sohma, then to learn you are not meant to be born. Lenin killed you.....how silly, you are suppose to be here. You are suppose to be headmaster no I'm sorry Headmistress of the family." He soon laughed, then he wackes her on the back again. "You want the title? Would you like my spot?"

"No, Akito-san, you can keep your title of this family. I want forgiveness." her voice quivered. She failed to sound strong.

"Forgiveness!" He started to laugh, he through the bamboo away to walk away to only lay down again. "You are the Sin that everyone hates Torhu, it is because of you that caused us to be like we are! Lenin caused to the curse! Don't you understand?! He the one who hated you so much! He hated Sia, and loved Suki who only claimed she never loved him but Dio!" His voice became loud. "You shouldn't of been here, Lenin thought he destroyed Sia bloodline." he sigh, "Sit Torhu Honda." she did as she was told. He threw something at her knees. "Read what I found, I find it a joke, until your seem to have found your finding of your own."

Torhu slowly reached over and picked up the small book. Slowly opening it her eyes blurred. "Read it out loud."

"I write to allow all those to know I am a master of the Sohma family. I hate every last one who had created the life we are in. Since the day I showed talent of building homes I was taken away from my love Suki. Coming back I thought Suki was a little different then what she was but I couldn't help but love her still when everyone told me that Suki had a personality switch just like Sia.

I found out thought I have been lied and tricked. So I killed Sia. I tore that baby from her womb and lay it on the ground to allow the air to kill it. I then left, two years later I find that the child still lives. I became angry. I found someone who could do black magic, but somehow the girl wasn't affected, but everyone else around including me. Stupid girl who has my blood running through her blood, who has Sia blood running through her veins. It doesn't matter as long as Sia blood runs through this earth with a living heart beat the curse will stay in its place and everyone shall know how I felt. Hurt and betrayed by the Sohma family themselves." Tears brim.

"You are Sia child." He said smiling. "You can not be cursed, you are the cursed. You have to carry on the curse blood until you die." he then took a flower twirling it around. "How do you feel now Torhu? You feel so loved? Wanted?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I don't want this curse to go on." her lips quivered out of sadness. Her voice just quivered when she spoke. "If I known I would of ended it." She clenched her fists in her lap.

Its not your fault Torhu, you were meant to live on for this sake. Now everyone knows but where my body at. Torhu closed her eyes, and felt herself breath.

When she reopen them she saw a little girl and a boy twirling around in circles. They were dancing and smiling. She watched with her eyes as they danced around her by candle light.

"Lenin Sohma, you are such a grand dancer no wonder Suki loves you." the little girl spoke.

"Sia you make a gentleman blush." he spoke slowly. "I can not love Suki, I am leaving soon." he said twirling Sia. "I am happy though that our parents pushed us to take these dance lessons."

"Me to, I am glad they decided to build this room. I see the rock garden came out, I want to be buried under that tree. So does my sister when we die." she giggled.

"Don't speak of death Sia, such a horror talk for a lady."

"I'm no lady!" she exclaim.

WHACK she fell to the ground. "Who you staring at?"

Torhu felt blood dripping down her face. "She here," all Torhu could come out with. She stood up to look out the window, the garden was right outside, with no second thought she jumped out the window causing her self to be cut all down her body. She ran down to the tree, hearing Akito behind her. She bent down moving the rocks from the tree, her fingers started bleeding, sweat and blood pored down her face.

Torhu stop your hurting yourself.

"No more Sia, they will be free, you will be free!" She started digging in the dirt until something seem rough, she hurried to dust the dirt away. Bones? "Sia!" She started to move the dirt away from the skull, she looked down tears spilled she found Sia.

"She was here all this time?" Akito sounded hysteric.

Torhu looked down and saw a knife. She picked it up, it wasn't a knife. It was a dagger. She picked it up to see blood stain down it. The handle was that of a rat with ruby red eyes. She stood up and looked into Akito eyes. "No more curse Akito." before he said anything she plunged it into her heart.

"TORHU!" She heard her name being screamed it was Yuki. She fell to her knees, as she watch Kyo and Yuki run to her, but they frozed when something like spirits left there bodies. Yuki didn't give himself time to rest he ran to Torhu body and held her for the first time. "Torhu," he looked at Kyo who got on his knees next to her. He hurried to take off his shirt and looked at the knife. He slowly pulled the knife out and put pressure on the wound with his shirt.

"Don't do that Kyo, you just bought that. It be ruined." she tried to smile. She notice that Yuki was holding her. It work. She felt herself drift, she felt so tired.

"Hey don't be stupid," she heard him say, she could of sworn he had laughed. "Don't leave Torhu you got that?"

"Kyo get Hatori," No time to argue he held her tight to him to keep the pressure of the shirt to Torhu. Kyo had took off running. "Torhu, I could of lived with the curse! Please, don't leave."

She could only smile, she felt her body go numb. "You say you can't live without me. Yuki you can, it going to hurt of course, but you have a chance to see life the way it should be." She reached her hand to his cheek. Her eyes felt heavy. Fight Torhu! Don't sleep!

Its ok Sia, they are free. Let me sleep now. She closed her eyes and felt herself sleeping away.

13 years Later

"La la la la" A little girl sings as she skips through the cemetery.

"Tor don't skip to fast." Her father called carrying some flowers.

"Ok daddy!" She called Her long purple hair and brown eyes scan the era. She wasn't scared of this place. Her dad always told her what this person had done for her dad, and for the other Sohma family. I She hummed happily as she stopped in front of the grave they so many times came to see year after year. She always seen her daddy have tears in his eyes just like her Cousin Kyo, and everyone else. She was only a nine years old.

She stopped and looked down and smiled. "Hello Mommie!" She sat down and smiled.

"Tor I see you found her so quickly." He said smiling sitting next to her.

"Mommy lonely daddy." she said looking at him. "Tell me about mommy please, what she like?"

"Your mommy saved us from the curse. She couldn't live much longer after having you Tor. But she said you were worth every last breath when she held you."

"Whats her name daddy?"

"Torhu Honda, well Torhu Sohma after we became husband and wife." he said looking down at her face, then looking down at the tombstone engraved

'Always live everyday with a smile'

"Daddy, why did you guys put that on there?"

"Because she always smiled even when she free us, even when she was giving birth to you." Tears ready set, just like his daughter. She was every way like her mother. They turn around to see Kyo and his wife Kaugra walking to them, they sat down and prayed for the female grave.

'Loving wife, Loving Mother, Loving Family member, you deserve the best'
