Alright, let's get this show on the move! Now, I'm gonna pick up the pace and write my heart out... I really hope I can last for 14 more chapters... then again I know my story now so... hehe... it might not even be 2 weeks... Tohru might die or she might not. But since you all would hate my work... her fate will still be tormenting! Or it won't... I'm not sure if I should be predictable or not...
Chapter 11- Day 1- Yuki's Pyramid

Yuki awakened and looked at Tohru's pale, sweet, loving face. She slept soundly, shaking from time to time. Yuki slowly pulled himself off of her warm body and stood up quietly. She stirred ever so slightly and went back to sleep. Yuki crept out of the room to find Ayame snoozing by the doorway, he gently roused his brother.

"Oh, Yuki; how is she? Not dead I hope." Ayame asked, even though he was half-asleep he was still his overly dramatic self.

"No, she's not dead, and she won't die." He said shaking his head, "Brother, can you tell me everything you know about the reason we were cursed?"

Ayame looked curiously at Yuki and nodded, "I can tell you just a small block of this gigantic pyramid. You'll have to get the others pieces from everyone else. Although most of us don't say it, you know as well, we have memories of the people who used to be possessed with our forms. I remember all the way back to the first snake. A child of mine, if I had one, would remember the Curse but not be cursed him or herself. That being its nature, but only the generation after its been passed.

Should Tohru have children they will be sick like her, and not live after birth. That is the nature of the Curse being passed. I know that the first cursed one, was Family Leader, and his children became cursed in this order, rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, boar. I can't release anymore information at this time. You will have to wait until it is my turn to be asked. You must ask in the order they were cursed, they will tell you something new each time, and each time you will be closer to freeing Tohru, yet as you get closer she'll get weaker. And when you solve it, you will only have a few hours left to save her. Don't falter on your path brother, or you will surely fail."

Ayame gave his brother one last smile and walked off. Yuki stood there pondering what his brother said and then sank to the floor, mentally going through his own memory.

(A/N: Now, I'm going to be putting the story in Yuki's perspective, his way of thinking, his thoughts and so on and so forth...)

'The strawberries...' 'Yuki... why didn't you..' 'Flower...'

NO! This wasn't right. He needed to go farther back, to the first Rat, and the first Family Leader...

'Takai, my son, come here. A voice had called. It was that of a young man and he called for his son, Takai. The man had been planning to go out that day and was going to tell Takai to take care of his mother. The mans name was Daisuke, "Takai, I'll be leaving now, take care of Mother." Takai nodded, he was a small boy will big purple eyes and short spiky grey hair, and he resembled Yuki a lot. Daisuke looked like a replica of Akito only not as cold, kind and gentle his eyes full of warmth. Daisuke was the Family Leader of a growing family known as the Sohma's. Daisuke left the house and went to visit his business friend Iori Ichiro. Iori was a very special person, not only was he a genius, he was a Feng Shui Master. Feng Shui was the art of balancing chi and stuff like that.

Daisuke was uncomfortable during his visit, as his partner in their job, Daisuke had been given the kind opportunity to be promoted, but he had to fire Iori, either that or he'd send someone else. His boss had said it was a privilege, letting one of his best friends fire him. Daisuke didn't know what to do, so he went to see Iori, "Iori, my good friend. I beg you, don't be mad." Although a Feng Shui Master, Iori had a short temper, one little word could set him off cursing the entire world! (LOL) "Yes, Daisuke, please tell me." "I have to fire you but..." Daisuke never got another word out, Iori had knocked him out cold, "I had a feeling you'd betray me Daisuke! I curse you and your family forever to be possessed by the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac and for the Family Leader to have a short life and always remain sick and short-tempered!" With that Iori tapped a staff he held nearby and chanted a Feng Shui word. The next Daisuke awakened, he heard Iori had killed himself, and then Daisuke felt a surge of pain and he died. Takai was so upset he held tight to his mother, a second after he died, Takai transformed into a rat in his mothers arms...'

I stumbled slightly as I regained all of this information. It was horribly sad. I shook my head sadly and wiped the water that had begun to form in my eyes. So that was the beginning, I thought. Now, I need to find out the rest. Hatsuharu, here I come! So after I found my lost memories, I left the hospital for the Sohma Estate to seek out Hatsuharu.

After walking for a little while, letting the cold fall air take hold on myself, I made it to the Estate. I sighed and looked around, and then I spotted Haru clinging to his beloved Rin. He looked up when I came to a stop in front of him.

"Yuki, what brings you here? Do you need me? Does Tohru need me?" Haru asked kindly, his white form was obviously in control.

I nodded, "I need you to tell me about Takai Sohma and what happened after Takai became cursed in the Rat's form." Haru looked a little shock and then he grinned.

"You'll have to wait Yuki. Wait till tomorrow. I can't tell you today, one lock at a time Yuki. Calm down, Tohru is weak now, because of how much you know. Go to her, and take care of her each night from now on. Come back tomorrow, I'll be waiting..." Haru grinned again and took Rin in his arms and went inside, leaving me to ponder what he said. So I went back to the hospital to find Tohru's temperature had dropped a little but now she was having seizures in her dreams. He sat next to her and comforted her horrid thoughts all night long. Day 1 was over, Day 2 was near.
