PLEASE READ THIS FOLLOWING NOTE:
Due to a certain review Alicia and I recieved, we must really beg people not to give away THAT big of spoilers. Come on people, it's simply common sense. Alot of people are anime based, or they're just starting to read the manga in the stores, and wouldn't know about chapter 97. Alicia and I do because we're FB whores and have read the whole chapter and seen all the scans for the chapter. So we just beg everybody to please be more thoughtful to other readers and just hush when it comes to spoilers. If you so deeply desire to tell us to make sure that we get it right, then please email us or IM us. Again we beg for the spoilers to be kept low, for we had discussed it already knew what we were going to say concerning it. Thankies for your time :D
ANOTHER NOTE:
Due to the recent release of Fruits Basket manga chapter 97 having been released in Japan, we are keeping this fanfiction more anime based then manga based. Yes, we're still using Rin and Kureno, but none of Kureno's or Akito's secrets. Sorry!

Alicia and I do not own Fruits Basket!
With Akito gone, Momiji ran from his seat towards Tohru, blowing off Hatori's simple 'Momiji'
"Tohru-kun! Tohru-kun!" The half German boy cried, making to throw his arms around her, but stopped mid way.
"Momiji-kun?" The girl asked, looking at him, worry in her face. Momiji usually didn't care if he transformed, he just liked being able to hug her, even if it was only for a brief second. "If I hug Tohru-kun, then it'll go POOF and the popping sound will be heard, ne? And then Akito will come back, ne? And I don't want Akito back to take away Tohru-kun just yet," he said, his voice laced with an uncommon sadness. Yuki blinked, surprised by his younger cousins logic. "Ah--anou, thank you, Momiji-kun. But I'm sure we'll still see each other, since we'll both be living in the inner compound!" Tohru said brightly, trying to add some white light into this dark time. Momiji smiled back, but not to his usual glamour, a sad smile.
"Ne, I'll try to sneak in to see you!" What he didn't say was that since Tohru was his, Akito's, now she wouldn't be allowed out much. She'd end up suffering the same way Kureno did. Always by Akitos' side, never leaving, rarely seeing others.
Yuki looked around and noticed Kyou still not had come back. He knew that even as mad as he was, he would not stay away long because of Tohru's presence. He himself stood up and decided to head outside to see where his cousin went
He moved past the loud chattering relatives and eased into the quietness of the outside. Yuki walked quietly from the now closed screen but stopped dead when he heard Akito's voice. He moved his body to a concealed part of the walkway and hoped he wouldn't be spotted. He looked up and noticed, just barely Kyou's presence in a tree.
"I don't think I have to tell you everything Shigure." Akito said in a firm tone. "Why are you so insistent with this, it hardly concerns you."
Shigure let out an easy laugh, waving his hand. "Hardly concerns mean? Akito, when have you become so secretive?!"
"You forget your place. I do not need to tell you anything."
Shigure smirked. "Ah, too true, but if you remember, it was I who convinced her grandfather, I who got the papers, I who legally let you marry her, Akito. And for a deal. You promised to tell me everything. Does God go back on his promises?"
Akito was seething by the time Shigure finished his little speech, furious at the clever tricks the dog played with him. How dare Shigure, not even the rat!, blackmail him.
"Personal gain. Is it the only thing you think of?" Shigure's smile to those words were bitter.
"Personal gain, Akito, is the only way in both of our books. Now tell me," the dog said coaxingly, moving towards the slender man," What are your plans with Tohru-kun?"
"Punishment. This is a punishment to her. She dared to try and break the bonds between us. I will not, cannot allow her to do that," he said, his voice the same smooth silkiness as always, not inflamed by anger.
But Kyou and Yuki were. Off to the side, both boys had been paying close attention to the exchanged words between their older family members. Both were now livid, raging, doing their dammedest not to run and attack Akito, or to run back inside, grab Tohru, and flee. When Hatori had whispered in Kyou's ear, he had said wait for a good time. Don't be brash. 'If you want to save Honda-kun, you must think more wisely, Kyou.'
Shigure laughed, he couldn't help himself. Akito narrowed his eyes, staring at the taller man through slits. "Punishment?! You married Tohru-kun simply so you could beat her?!" He was still giggling, his hand pressed to his mouth. "My my Akito, if you were to marry just to punish, then I do say you'd be a polygamist."
"Quiet that mouth of yours Shigure! I don't need your smart remarks about this." Akito shot Shigure a more then nasty look.
The dog kept his smile, bowing, making it only slightly mocking.
"Forgive me then, Akito. I meant no harm in my playful teasing. But is that truly why you married our Tohru-kun?"
Akito's lips twisted into a thin smile. His eyes narrowed by this movement of his face. "That's all you need to know for now. Besides life's events are more fun to watch as they unfold. Knowing everything before hand ruins that tasteful experience."
Shigure's face lost it's playful expression. That twisted look on Akito's face meant there were dark times for Tohru ahead. Akito laughed at the sudden change of Shigures composition. "It's nice to see even you can still lose that mask of yours." He turned and left Shigure standing by himself.
The dim voices of the party inside faded away from Shigure's ears. Aside from his sensitive hearing, he completely tuned it all out. He just stared at the spot where Akito had stood. The summer air cooled about his person.
Kyou looked on from the tree keeping his body still. Training had paid off for he managed to keep his muscles from moving, and the strain minimal. Yuki too was grateful for the slender muscles and well trained fighting body he had been born with as he stood frozen in the spot, trying to keep his breathing low, not wanting himself to be seen by Shigure. Kyou had the advantage of being in the tree, hidden from view, he did not.
"Yuki-kun, Kyou-kun! I know you're there!" The dog cried out merrily, letting his eyes dance around. The boys didn't answer him.
"Yuki-kun! Kyou-kun! Are you hiding from me? I thought hide and go seek was something for little children?" He cried out again, his words playful, his tone not as. Still the boys remained unmoving and silent as a grave, not even daring to look at each other to see the others next move. If Shigure caught them, knew that they had listened to Akito's plans for Tohru....the results wouldn't end up well. Kyou, for he was the outcast, Yuki, for he was always Akito's favorite toy. Both for they cared for Tohru.
Shigure sighed, his cheerful nature starting to slowly break, something which he didn't want to happen. He knew they were there, he was almost certain of it, but neither of them were moving, and checking everything and searching took far too much work. With a loud, fake 'Oh, I guess I am alone!' the dog walked away, his black socks making a soft 'pitter patter' that resounded through out the courtyard. The noise died away, fading into nothingness, letting the boys know that it was just them now.
Kyou crawled down from his position in the tree, doing it with the grace of the animal that possessed him. Yuki moved away from his spot, coming to meet Kyou, earning up to the saying 'quiet as a mouse'. Nothing creaked or groaned under his nimble footsteps.
The boys looked at each other, red to purple, but this time their eyes weren't meeting up in hatred or fury. This times, their eyes were meeting up to plot, to set aside their personal differences. To save Tohru.
