Next Chapter! Sorry it took so long, I've been waiting for more ppl to review; you know most stories with as many chapters as I have by now... should have at least 100 reviews! I've only got 62, and without my comments each chapter is at least 1,000 words! C'mon! MORE REVIEWS! I'm not going to write chapter 16 until I have at least 73-90 reviews. I'm not kidding.


Chapter 15- Day 5 Hatori's Block

I sulked around the next morning. I didn't want to see Hatori, heck; I didn't want to see anyone. I just wanted Tohru back, and safe, but that wasn't going to happen. I sighed and went downstairs to find Shigure sitting in his chair with a pencil balanced on his nose and Mii kneeling before him. Kyo wasn't home; he was at the Main House with Kagura. I missed Tohru, so I knew what needed to be done. But it didn't make doing it any easier.

Hatori greeted me, "Yuki, so good to see you."

"Hello Hatori." I sighed.

"Yuki, don't be sad, we all are doing our best. Your faith will bring her to you." Kana said as she walked in and saw the two.

"Hello Kana." I said smiling, it was an effort, but moping in front of her wasn't smart.

"Kana, will you bring Yuki and me something to drink?" Hatori asked.

"Of course Hari." Kana bowed and left to get them something.

"Well, you need my story of course?" Hatori asked.

"Yes." I answered calmly.

"Alright then." Hatori took a deep breath and began.

Takai was left to stand there, with a bunny in his arms while Kikai walked away calmly. Takai sunk to the ground and cried, he hugged the bunny in his arms tightly. Tears ran down their faces, and a figure stood before the two. It was a girl, she wiped away both their tears, "I'm Lina. I'm the newest Junichi."

Takai stood up, still holding Kotetsuma he looked at Lina, "Hi. I'm..."

"I know who you are silly. The rat, Takai Sohma. And I presume that's the unfortunate bunny Kotetsuma Sohma. Wanna guess mine?"

The bunny spoke, "I'd like to guess Miss Lina."

"Please, Lina."

"Well, I wanna guess... dragon?" Kotetsuma said softly.

"Yep! That's right! You're so cute!" Lina cried out and grabbed Kotetsuma hugging him to her. Takai watched her with interest.

"Um... Lina... how are you..." Takai stuttered.

"A Junichi? Well... I may seem so small because I'm only 6! Meaning, you both are older then me, by a lot! But it doesn't matter, well anyway, my mother tried to hide me being a Junichi. She managed it for awhile. She was real scared, that Kikai would hurt me. She managed to hide it, for 5 years. I just turned 6 last week... Kikai was furious when she found out. She ordered my mother's memory to be erased, she forgot me. She cried, she pleaded with Kikai and Kikai let her heartbreak take over. My mother is now sick with worry. I can't go home, she won't let me go. I... she'll die from heartbreak soon... and it will be my fault." Lina held Kotetsuma tighter.

"I'm sorry." Takai said.

"No, it's not your fault." Lina insisted.

"Is she okay?" Kotetsuma asked.

"Right now, she's probably fretting about what Kikai will do to me, or if I'm alive. If I went back, she'd force me to go away... I don't wanna go..." Lina answered sorrowfully.

"Well then... let's help." Takai insisted.

"Help me?" Lina looked at Takai hopefully.

"I've been waiting to help, Kotetsuma... I couldn't help him. But I'll help you as much as I can Lina." Takai said.

"Kotetsuma, Takai, LINA!" Kikai called.

All three turned around unhappily. Kikai laughed, "What's wrong? Not going to help someone are you?"

"My mother!" Lina knew the instant she spoke, they were doomed.

"Oh? Nope, she has been quarantined. No one is allowed to see her." Kikai said casually. Lina screamed and attempted to hit Kikai...

Hatori stopped, "It's tragic. But so is life, and you will fix it. You are the key Yuki."

Just then they realized Kana had been listening. She bowed in apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to listen. It was sad, Hari... he's always seemed lonely. This Lina girl, must've been the same way. Yuki, I know this sounds stupid, but tell me... what happens to her."

I nodded, "Sure Kana."

Hatori stood up and before leaving the room said, "I'll be seeing you Yuki. In 8 days, you will be going to America, in 8 days Akito will give you a letter. In 8 days... Tohru will be near death. On the 9th day... you may read Akito's letter, and you will have until Midnight of Friday the 15th to save her. Good day." Hatori left and Kana followed.

I went to Ayame, "Ayame? Are you here?" I called into his shop.

Ayame came toward me, "Yuki, if you want my story, you'll hafta wait."

I shook my head, "No, I just wanna share some ideas."

"Then come." Ayame led me to the room upstairs, Mine had gone for the day.

"I need to find out the cure after I figure out the entire story." I began.

"You still don't know what it is. Our story, her life... happiness is all she wants. She worries about everyone else, a little bit of selfishness, and a long boring story.. along with some rude friends... should do her well." Ayame said laughing.

I gave a half laugh and began walking back to Shigure's house. Kyo was back and he was picking on a sad Shigure. Mii was talking calmly with Kagura. I stopped to view the scene, "Hi." They turned to me, Mii and Kagura smiled. Shigure hid behind me and Kyo was furious, "Sure hide behind rat boy!"

"Yuki, save me!" Shigure whimpered.

"Kyo, darling, please don't hurt Shigure, Mii will lose her job if he can't write." Kagura complained.

"Yes, he still needs to write 100 more pages!" Mii said.

"Oh fine..." Kyo sulked down next to Kagura.

I sighed, 'This is my pitiful life...'
