1. Fruits Basket belongs to Takaya Natsuki. 2. I haven't read all of the manga, but seen the whole anime series. 3. English IS NOT my first language. Sorry if there are some mistakes and also for my limited vocabulary. You can help me with that aspect. Thanxxx and pls. review.

*Note:

This fic is obviously some years after graduation. You can assume that Tohru convinced Yuki to lose against Kyou or something so that Kyou wouln't get locked up. You can also assume that Yuki managed to get some freedom as he did to choose his own school. Whatever. On with the fic.



The Wanting



Prologue

It had been five months since Tohru and Yuki had secretly married. All that time they had lived in Yuki's 2 LDK apartment (two rooms with living, dining, and kitchen) and only Kyou, Kagura, and recently Hatori knew about it. The rest thought Tohru had left the family since she was already a 22 year old woman although they did know she was working as Yuki's assistant in one of the Sohma business buildings. Yuki had gathered them all in the Main House to tell them something important. Akito had said he wasn't interested in the meeting and that was a relief for Yuki, who had Tohru by his side.

Everyone was seated forming a semicircle around Yuki and Tohru expecting the important announcement. Yuki finally started to speak: "The reason I've gathered you all is because Tohru and I have felt it's time to tell you the truth about us. We've already been married for five months." There were some *gasps* around the room, but Yuki continued: "We got married in secret as you may already be thinking, but that is not all. The reason why we decided to tell you as of today is because we are expecting... a child." More *gasps*. "Hatori, who learned recently about our situation has already confirmed Tohru's pregnancy." Hatsuharu suddenly had to interrupt: "Does Akito know about this?" Yuki was about to answer when a voice came from a corner making everyone shiver. "I just heard all of it." Akito seemed pretty calm to everyone's amazement. He continued to speak: "It seems that you have already won against me Yuki. You seem to love defying your Master, but still, I will always be the real victor. I own you and everything about you. The same with everyone here, now including her." He pointed towards Tohru, who was suddenly alarmed. Akito started walking slowly towards Yuki and Tohru and stopped in front of them. He spoke in a very low voice to them both, but everyone heard him clearly. "You have no idea how happy you've made me today", a sadistic smile forming on his lips. "I definitely like Tohru now. She has served for a great purpose. Yuki... your firstborn... is mine." "NO!" Yuki couldn't control his trembling body and he repeated yet again: "No! Never! You will never touch it!" Tohru started to cry and it seemed that she was goint to faint, but to everyone's horror Akito held her almost lovingly: "Don't push yourself my dear. You have to be strong and healthy for the little one forming inside you. Remember... that it is... Yuki's child." Yuki was petrified and speechless. Akito decided to add something else while savouring the terror in Yuki's eyes. "Yuki, I really recommend that Tohru be moved here with me. She needs someone to take care of her during her pregnancy. You are working and that means that you won't be able to be with her the whole time." Yuki finally had words forming on his lips: "Are you insane?" He asked this with fire in his eyes. "I will never leave her with you!" Akito chuckled and then seemed angry: "Are you defying me yet again, Yuki?" And with that final question Akito walked out of the room with Kureno following behind, who closed the door leaving them all worried.
