SOTGD: This is my first Fruits Basket fic. It's also my first attempt at writing a romance. I will, of course, try my best. I'm writing with limited knowledge, so if I make any mistakes please warn me. (I have read the first two manga and watched the second and third DVDs.)

She wandered through the windy and cold night. She wasn't well. Her pace was slow. Even breathing brought her nothing but pain. Her very soul was tormented by a violent curse placed upon her. The curse was harsh, not forgiving to body or soul.
She had lived her whole life with the condemned, her entire family was effected by the oath of extinction. She hadn't chosen her path, no one would choose such a fate. She stumbled, then collapsed. Her conscious slipped into darkness. Someone had to see her, she lay in the middle of the street.
As expected someone did find her, getting her to a hospital was slightly harder to accomplish. Shigure had became restless, he had waited for hours, with no solution to his problem. He couldn't carry her, he couldn't leave her. She needed abrupt medical attention. He wasn't a doctor, but he could tell a fever when he saw one.
Shigure was relieved to see Hatori and Yuki coming quickly to his aid. Hatori was the one doctor that couldn't help this girl though. Shigure was disappointed they hadn't brought anyone that could help, but at least he wasn't alone with her anymore. Shigure would have been happy to be alone with most girls, but not ones that seemed to be dying.
Hatori began to examine her. Her kimono was insignificantly burnt. Her skin was burnt too, around her legs. Yuki stood back, Hatori was a fine doctor. He had began wandering if she had been in an accident or if someone had been tring to kill her. His thoughts were broken by a sound he knew well. The voice of Hatsuharu.
After catching his breath Haru was given an explaination, then told to hug the girl. After hugging her, then transforming into an ox he was told to take her to the Sohma House. It was closer than the hospital or Shigure's house.
Hatori would have much rather used the car, since it was faster, but that would mean risking someone seeing one of them transform. He knew this would cause problems. The street was oddly abandoned.
Many people stopped to stare at two grown men, a teenager, a black and white ox, and a unconscious girl travel down the road. One got a closer look and noticed the girl's burns. Seeing this made him spread the word. Which in turn kept people away. Whether it was fear or surprise that made the people keep their distance, Shigure, Hatori, Yuki, and Haru didn't know or care about at the moment. Their main worry was getting the girl to the main house of the Sohma property without being questioned to much or taking to long.
Akito saw them come in the front gate, he was surprised they had a girl with them. His shock passed, but anger took its place. They had brought a girl to the Sohma House without even asking his permission. The girl seemed injured, he decided he would let their boldness pass. He was curious about this girl. He watched from the distance of his window as they took her to Hatori's office. Shigure, Yuki, and Haru left about a hour later. Akito decided he would go ask about this strang girl.
He came in to find her laying in the floor. He broke the silence with his eerie voice.
"Hatori what is she doing here?" He swiftly took a seat.
"Shigure found her laying in the middle of the street. She's badly injured."
"How?" Akito expected an answer, but the answer never came.
The girl moved, rustling the blanket covering her. She seemed to be having a nightmare.
"Her sleep has been fitful. We should talk somewhere else, so we don't disturb her." Hatori was obviously trying to get rid of Akito. Akito didn't seem to notice, if he had, he let it slip by. Hatori was surprised it hadn't made Akito angery.
They went outside, closing the doors behind them, leaving the girl alone. She sturred, but didn't wake.

SOTGD: Well it was short, but I like writing short chapters better. I'll try to make coming chapters longer.^-^
