Disclaimer: I do not own fruits basket

I deeply apologize with my last chapter

I don't know what happened it was suppose

to be split into two separate chapters.

Any way without further ado here is the second chapter.

Chapter two: DOOM or maybe not....

One reason people like music so much is because it "saves" them. This was

literally true for Yuki. But unfortunately all songs must end.

The music was dying down and the rat was looking for a escape any escape.

His violet eyes usually kept emotionless were wide with fear a desperation.

But alas Akito turned his head to stare at Yuki.

"come" he whispered

Yuki of course wanted to anything but come but was practically swept away

by the other boy. Very suddenly Hatori stepped in front of Akito, he felt

rather responsible for the rat.

"Akito" Hatori said slowly, he had a difficult task a head of him now, trying

to let Yuki go with out making Akito mad. "you don't look so well, I think

you should go lie down now." Akito looked highly irritated but replied in

a tone as slippery as silk.

"I thank you for your concern but I have important business with Yuki

he has something important to tell me."

Hatori frowned but carefully said " I think I should at least quickly take

your temperature"

Akito narrowed his eyes but forced a smile.

"Fine then" he said delicatly. He glanced at Yuki who was avoiding eye contact

with him. A simple hand gesture brought a servant running.

After a few quick words with Hatori the servant sent off again looking for the

desired item. Hatori quickly looked up at Yuki meeting his eye Yuki nodded

knowing what to do. It was a common trick among those cursed. For many

had used it to get away from the current head of the family. The servant came back with

the themometer on a sliver platter closely followed by another servant who ever so clumsily

fell on the first servant who then banged the sliver platter in to Yuki's head. Yuki collapsed to the floor knocked out

or that was what every one saw.

In reality the performance was carefully timed. Servant number two fell purposely on servant number one, who then with

exact precession aimed the platter a inch or two from Yuki just close enough so that it would look like it crashed in to Yuki

who in turn pretended to faint. Hatori would then call the servants to be reprimanded and carry Yuki to a spare bed.

Where Yuki would wait out the evening.

Yuki sighed sitting up in bed as he heard the foot steps fade away. He wondered just how long he would be able to thwart Akito.

It certainly was getting harder. pit, pit, pit, some one was coming. Yuki carefully closed his eyes and slid down to a natural

looking position. Akito entered the room softly and carefully shuting the door. Yuki slightly tenesed up as Akito slowly walked

over to his bed. It took every once of control not to shrink back from Akito when the older boy put his hand on Yuki's cheek.

Luckily Hatori came in calling Akito back to the party before he could do anything more.Yuki sat up again a bit shaken what knowing

he had to do was get out of this cursed house. So he quietly climbed out of bed and over to the window. He carefully climbed

out of the window and started going down but then realized there were to many people below him and decided to climb up ward.

It seemed to Yuki like ages before he got to the top of the roof but there he was slowly pulling himself up. He smiled and looked

down at his accomplishment.

"What are you doing here you damn rat is any where safe from you?"

Yuki whirled around only to see Kyo glaring at him. Yuki was thinking of a witty come back but was really tired emotionally from

his run in with Akito. he only mumbled something Kyo couldn't hear.

"What was that," Kyo spat

"I said the real question is any where safe for me" replied Yuki collapsing.

Kyo looked up with questioning eyes then turned away. "whatever"

Yuki at that point looked up and gasped he had never been up on the roof before it was beautiful and he could see every thing.

Kyo turned around again to face him. "Yeah I never saw why everyone never came up here, it has a nice view"

Yuki nodded sort of happy that they were at least not fighting. The two boys sat enjoying one another company in silence taking

in the new year. Till Yuki noticed the crowd was clearing and that he had better get going. Yuki turned to Kyo "thanks" he

said simply and smiled. Kyo blushed and muttered that he had better not get use to it. Yuki let out a short laugh and started his

descent down leaving a very surprised Kyo Sohma on the roof. Yuki enter his room and lay down on his bed forgetting to escape

Sohma house. He was quietly was woken up by Shigure a few hours later to go home. Maybe Yuki thought maybe New Years wasn't so

bad after all.

I'm so sorry this so chapters late. I have written this chapter over and over again but I'm still not happy with it.

I've also had to dodge my parent from their why don't you get out more questions. again I'm sorry hopefully the next chapter

will be much easier to write and I will have more time to write. Please review and the next chapter will come out faster.

Oh and to the reviewer that said my story was boring first of all where is your story and secondly I'm not taking your review

seriously because you didn't have any suggestions on how to make my story more interesting if you did that would actually be

cosidered a review.

Thanks to reviewer Radom nobody: I love you! Your my best reviewer and Yuki sends you hugs and kisses!
