Discalimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or any of the characters except for Fury.

FURY'S POV

I gently pushed Tohru's elbow out of my face and tried to get a breath of fresh air from the car window. We had all squeezed into the car, meaning that Hatori was driving with Shigure in the passenger seat and Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, and I were stuck cramped in the back. Since Yuki and Kyo didn't want to risk transforming in the car, they had forced me to sit in between them and Tohru. Yuki sat to my left and Tohru had the window seat to my right, while Kyo had the other window seat to my left.

I tried to keep my racing emotions contained as we drove towards my family, whom I hadn't seen since I was a small child. I smiled as I remembered Hatori's words back at the house: "Your mother and father are both working as accountants and your younger sister plays soccer and is part of the school chess team." My sister is normal. I let out a sigh of relief. Although I had left my family when I was young, I could still remember the love and fierce protection I had had for my sister. I wonder if she even remembers me. After all these years I'm finally going to see them!

My emotions were in turmoil as we sat quietly in the car. I feel so nervous for the first time in my life. I wonder if my mother and father will be happy to see me…I looked out the window, as we sped by other cars and I could feel my impatience building. I wish we'd hurry up and get there already! Hatori had said they lived in a nice house in the suburbs and had shown me all the data reports he had collected on them.

They were your typical everyday family. Deep down some part of me yearned to be apart of that normal family. And inside I wished I could be normal. I smirked. Yeah right! Normal my ass.

My thoughts were jolted back to reality as Kyo's voice cut through the silence. "You damn rat! Get your leg off of me!"

"Well you stupid cat, unfortunately I can't do a thing about it considering how cramped we are back here." Yuki replied logically. "So just deal with it you stupid cat."

"Like hell I will!" Kyo shouted in response. Can't they stop arguing for more than two seconds? I mean really they act like children.

"Let's not fight here guys." Tohru said worriedly, leaning over me to get a sense of the quarrel so she could mend it. Kyo reached to punch Yuki who had to back into me in order to catch the fist in his hand.

With Tohru leaning over me, and Yuki pressing against me I felt hot and suffocated. And considering my patience had already been running thin and with the nervousness I felt, I was not in a good mood.

Pushing Yuki and Tohru off of me I leaned forward, grabbed hold of Kyo's shirt and pulled him over Yuki so that he could sit beside me. Yuki quickly scooted over to the window to make room.

"What the hell do you think you're doing!" Kyo screamed, trying to get my grip off his shirt, but to no avail.

"I'm shutting you up." I replied, pulling out two long pieces of rope and using them to tie them around his wrists and ankles.

"What the hell! Shigure do something!" Kyo screamed once I had finished trussing him up.

"Now, now children. Play nice!" Shigure said in a motherly voice.

"You bastard! What the hell is that supposed to do?" Kyo shouted, pushing my tolerance for this crap to the limit. I already had enough on my mind as it is without him screaming my ear off.

Suddenly, I reached out and grasped Kyo's face with my hand, forcing him to look at me. "Shut up!" I hissed into his face. "I don't have the patience for this crap, so if you want to bitch and moan then we can drop you off here and pick you up later. Besides, I don't want to be forced to gag you." I said my tone hard. His eyes met mine nervously, and he immediately shut up. He took a deep breath and swallowed, his eyes showing many emotions making them unclear to me.

I let go of his shirt and said, "I'd appreciate it if you would just remain quiet. It's not like I already don't have enough on my mind."

Immediately, I saw his look soften and turn into some sort of guilty one. "Sorry." He mumbled his eyes looking down at his bound wrists.

"Just keep quiet." I said, knowing that I had sounded like a total bitch, but not caring. I was on edge right now and there was a pit in my stomach that was sending me bad signals. My ever increasing sense of foreboding, was setting me on edge and I felt the urge to punch something in order to let out my pent up frustration. What is wrong with me? Why am I so on edge?

After another forty-five minutes of uncomfortable silence, and finally Hatori pulled over to the curb in front of a normal house. Once Tohru had pushed open the door and stepped out, I slid out and ran to the front door. I rang the bell once. No answer. I rang the bell a second time and again no one answered. Impatiently I turned to see if the car was still in the driveway. It was there.

I waited another ten seconds and broke open the door. Immediately I was hit hard with a smell. What the hell is that? I took another sniff of the air and recoiled. If I didn't know better I'd say this smells like…

KYO'S POV

"Blood." Kyo said as he walked in and the foul odor hit him full force. "Why the hell does it smell like blood?" Hatori and Shigure walked past him and into the living room.

No one spoke as they walked up the stairs following the origin of the foul odor. Tohru was nervously fidgeting behind Yuki, probably nervous because she was intruding in some one else's house. They walked down the hallway until they could see Fury standing in the doorway of what probably was the master bedroom.

She stood unmoving as if she had turned into stone. Since her face was facing in the opposite direction, Kyo nor anyone else could see her face. "Fury." Hatori said calmly walking towards her with an air of circumspect.

Suddenly a pain-lanced scream erupted from her throat and her claws sprouted from her hands. Before anyone could react she turned around to face them, her eyes rapidly changing color and her face contorted in pain which quickly turned into an evil smirk. She snarled at them savagely and Hatori quickly screamed, "Get down," As Fury ran past them.

When she had passed everyone stood up and looked around them. The walls of the hallway had been torn to shreds by her claws. Kyo tried to keep the fear from his voice as he said, "What the hell is going on."

Gingerly, Shigure, Hatori, and Kyo approached the room that Fury had just been looking into; meanwhile Yuki stood with Tohru in the hallway, not wanting her to go inside in case what they saw was disturbing.

HATORI'S POV

Hatori's usual unfazed composure, was shattered by what he saw when he entered my room. Inside there were three very mutilated bodies. Each had had their internal organs ripped out of them and upon closer inspection Hatori realized that they had been alive during the whole process. Not only had they been gutted out, but each of their toenails and fingernails had been ripped off as well as their eyes. Hatori quickly pulled out a handkerchief and covered his nose from the vile smell.

"Oh my god." Kyo said in the background. He shouldn't be seeing this. As if reading his thoughts, Shigure escorted Kyo from the room and quickly came back.

They both turned to one of the walls which had a message smeared in blood on it. It read:

And now you've sealed your family's fate

They're all dead and you wan to know why?

It's your entire fault, you deserve to die!

For a moment both Hatori and Shigure stared at the words and then quickly retreated from the room.

"Where did she go?" Yuki asked, his face looking extremely pale as well as Kyo and Shigure's faces.

"I- I believe she went to avenge the death of her family members." Hatori replied, his usual monotone on the edge of disbelief. "We must find her!"

"But how would we know where she's going?" Shigure asked being one of the only people able to speak.

"I found out the address of her former boss or rather owner. Everyone get into the car now!" Everyone quickly followed his orders and Hatori sped along the highway at an outrageous speed. I can't let Fury die. If she does some other poor member of the Sohma clan will be burdened with the core of the curse. And to be completely honest… she might be the only one who can break it.

KYO'S POV

The ride was dead silent as Hatori weaved through the traffic. All Kyo kept seeing were the dead mutilated bodies that he knew were the parents and sister of Fury. How could some one do that to people? It's so wrong! I've never felt this horrible in my life… After all she's been through and now this… Kyo looked out the window and made a silent prayer. Please be alright, Fury.
