Okay, I'm going to make a speech. A really long speech before the fanfiction starts! So… you should read it? It's going to be long… so I'm warning you… if you're reading my speech… You can go ahead and skip it…
Note I: Yuki and Tohru's date gets cancelled! Why? Cause Yuki doesn't want a 'friendly date.' Plus, With what Tohru just learned about the two boys, isn't it obvious she cancelled it?
Note II: Okay, after reading my fanfic a bunch of times, I noticed a lot of mistakes. Please let them slide! I'm only in 7th grade! Plus, I usually don't have time to read it over and proofread, because I want to update as soon as possible! Yup! Please don't blame me! I skip my homework just to write all of this! Hehe! I've been really busy with writing or surfing the net, I do my homework at 2 in the morning! Yup, that's me! (hm... I wonder why I'm short?) -jumps up and down- So from now on, I'll be proofreading this fanfiction, so I won't update as soon. Hehe. Except this chapter... and the rest of the fanfic . Hehe!
Note III: The Fruits Basket cast was having break at the time that the first four chapters took place. Why? Because I'm having break right now! Spring Break! Yup! For one whole week! That's good! Stay a kid forever, and miss a lot of school! I'll be updating more? I really don't know… I might just chill and play some basketball… and play video games… or watch some anime… or read some… or sleep… Whenever I don't feel lazy, I'll update!
Note IV: Tohru right now is leaving both Yuki and Kyo hanging! Why? Because! Real life, my life! Yup, basically the same thing is happening to me! Except it's with one guy and it's a question of 'yes' or 'no'. Yup! Been leaving him hanging for erm… 4-5 months by now? Uh, I feel so bad… Well, Tohru won't be leaving her special someone hanging for as long as me! It's a promise! That's cause I'll most likely have 7 or 8 chapters. Maybe more… I dunno. Have to decide…
Note V: Email me or IM me all you like. I really don't mind. I love receiving IM's or emails from you people! For you people who don't know my email, it's stephanie10242 at Yahoo! Got it? Yes, that's different from the email I use to post my fanfics, I go on my Yahoo one more to check mail. Oh, my AIM is xEatStrawberries. Please IM me if you like! Permission granted! Whoosh, go ahead!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket and any of its character. I only own the plot and that's it! Whahahaha! I don't want to own it either, just want to read/watch the series! For I wouldn't do as a good job as the creator of Fruits Basket. -thinks- I completely forgot who created Fruits Basket . -looks at Volume 8 of Fruits Basket- (too lazy to type in name)
Okay, thanks for reading my speech. (Although I'm pretty sure you skipped it and went on with the chapter . … After all, this little speech took one page of Microsoft Word!) Onward with chapter 6 of Sunshine's Rain! (Oh by the way, thanks for all of the review… the reason I updated quickly for the first 5 chapters…)
Chapter 6
"What is on your mind, Akito?" Hatori questioned as he was checking up on Akito. One of Akito's daily checkups. Akito got sick very often and since Hatori was a doctor, Hatori tried his best to keep Akito in the best physical shape. Today, however, his sickness was different.
"Miss Honda," Akito smirked as he said those words. "Miss Honda has my fate." He added, slowly, "Today I die… or I live. It's all up to Miss Honda." He clenched his teeth together.
"Miss Honda?" Hatori had no emotion on his face whatsoever. He checked Akito's heart rate. "Why Miss Honda?"
At first there was a long silence. It seemed like Akito didn't hear what he said. He ignored Hatori and stared at the ground at first. He smiled slightly and replied quietly, "It's her choice to let me live or die. I believe I can trust her… after she said those words." He recalled the moment that Miss Honda and Akito had their conversation. When he pulled her hair and she said those words… 'We'll miss you…'. She cried at that time. He wanted… he wanted her nowhere near the Sohma's… but now, he depended on her. For he wanted to live. He wanted to live like everyone else. He didn't want to carry the full weight of the Zodiac Curse any longer. He didn't want to die.
"It'll end here," Akito whispered. He coughed slightly as he covered his mouth with his sleeves. He fell to the ground as he drifted off to sleep. One of the last naps or sleeps he'll ever have. One of the last.
"It'll end here?" Hatori repeated those words. He questioned at those three simple words. What did Akito mean by that? He had no interest to find out though.
That was if it didn't include Tohru getting hurt. He cared for her dearly. For if Kana stilled remembered… He shook his head. His beloved Kana would never remember.

"Hey there Shigure!" Tohru gave a thumbs up to Shigure, who was sitting at the kitchen table. Like always, he was reading the newspaper of the day. He shifted his eyes and smiled at Tohru.
"Why hello there, my little flower!" Shigure chuckled slightly to himself as Tohru sat on the other side of the table. She yawned as she fell to the ground, with sleepy eyes. "Oh my, oh my! Aren't you getting sleepy?" He had that worried look on his face, (but if you knew Shigure, he was never worried).
"It…it really has been tiring since…" Tohru trailed off as she laid her head gently on the table. "Kyo and Yuki are out doing something… and soo… I decided to try to find something to keep me awake."
Shigure placed his papers onto the ground. He stared at the carpet, and laid his head against the table. Tohru felt a thump as she rested her head.
"So…" Shigure began out quietly and slowly. "Have you chosen anyone yet?" He twirled his head to the side and finally lifted it up.
That question startled Tohru… but she had to answer it! "To tell you the truth…" Tohru smiled as she began slowly, thinking of what to say. "I… I love both of them."
"Both of them?" Shigure raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Could my little flower me a two-timer? Dundundun! Shigure gasped slightly. Tohru didn't noticed.
"Yeah… from the beginning… it's like how you can love your friends… and that's how I feel about Kyo and Yuki from the beginning… from when I first saw them." She sighed softly and smiled. She looked up to Shigure, her smile full of life.
"But now, I feel differently for one of them! I really don't know my feelings…" She nodded as she blushed at the statement. "For my mother said once, that you can love everyone, although they might not love you back. For the love you feel for your friends are different… for the people you admire the most." She nodded as she remembered the slight features of her mom.
"Of course, you wouldn't want to two-time the boys, right?" Shigure gave a slight chuckle.
"No, no, no!" Tohru turned beat red. "Never."
Just than, Kyo walked into the house through the kitchen door. He didn't hear the previous conversation. Tohru didn't notice that Kyo walked in the house however. He stood near the kitchen door that led to the dining room and took a glance at the scene that was going on between Shigure and Tohru. He fell to the ground quietly, hoping he would be able to eavesdrop.
'Maybe I'll hear something good outta this…' He gently lifted his hand to cup his mouth from saying a word.
"The truth is Shigure…" Tohru thought carefully about what she was going to say. "I love Yuki." Kyo stared awkwardly into space. He couldn't feel his legs any longer. He was wrong. He cupped his mouth harder. He didn't hear anything good.
Shigure, who noticed Kyo from the beginning, sat quiet. He shook his head and quietly played with his fingers. "What about Kyo?"
What about Kyo! He knew the answer. He thought he knew the answer. Eww… that ugly monster? Who can love that ugly monster? Like Shigure's story…
I love Yuki. I love Yuki. Those words replayed in his head. How could Tohru have said that? I love Yuki. I love Yuki. Kyo didn't care anymore. He felt his cheeks go bright red as a single teardrop fell down his cheeks. He couldn't bare it any longer. He stood up, shaking, and tripped to the ground as he made his way… outside… I can't be here any longer. I don't belong…He thought. I love you, Tohru. Those were his last thoughts… his last thoughts before he ran away. He didn't care. His love… the love of his life… was over to the damn rat. The rat had everything. Why couldn't the cat have something for once? Why?
Kyo ran out the door… and he ran deep into the woods. He didn't care anymore. Now that… his love was denied… He held back the tears as he slowly transformed into the orange cat that he was. He grabbed his clothes and kept going…
"…But Shigure," Tohru continued. "I also love Kyo."

I think I should stop the chapter there! Aha! Don't you love cliffhangers? (I don't! I just feel evil at the moment… mwhahahahaha!goes up and pokes you with a stick) Really, I'm a nice person! I speak the truth!
Okay, for this chapter, I didn't feel like proofreading. Well… either there's going to be one more chapter left or two. I really don't know. There might be more… When I feel like typing…
Thanks for all of the reviews.. Tee hee:) I feel loved.
