Disclaimer: I don't own Fruit's Basket, but if I did, I would soo be Tohru

The jeans have no particular significance in the story. (They will make a later appearance, though) So anyway, the jeans are just to express exactly how thin Yuki is.

Chapter 2

"Y-Yuki!" Haru ran to the boy.

Yuki stared at the people with wide eyes standing in the doorway. "What're they doing here?" He asked.

"They wanted to see who was killing themselves in the bathroom," Haru said accusingly.

"I know how to take care of myself," Yuki said as he pushed his sleeves up and turned on the faucet.

Haru's hand shot out and he grabbed Yuki's bandaged wrist. "What is this?" He asked.

"Nothing," Yuki answered passively.

Haru ripped the bandaging off and stared at the self-inflicted wound.

Those who were still standing in the door gasped again as blood trickled from Yuki's wrist and into the sink.

"Why the hell are you trying to kill yourself!" Haru said infuriated.

"It's none of your damn business!" Yuki yelled as he pushed everyone out of the way. He ran out of the school and stopped on the grounds.

Yuki sat with his back to a tree. He pulled a pocket knife from his back pocket and set it where he had ceased the last mark. He pushed down and slowly took it the rest of the way across his wrist.

Tohru ran out on the grounds and to Yuki. She threw herself at him and knocked the knife from his hand.

"Stop, just stop. You said that you wouldn't try to do this again!" Tohru yelled.

Yuki turned his head and began searching for the knife. "Where did that damn thing go?" He asked himself. He looked at Tohru and noticed she was twirling it in her fingers.

"I can't let you have this," Tohru said as she pushed the blade down and stuck it in her own pocket.

Yuki stood and ran away. Tohru followed him. No matter where Yuki went, Tohru followed.

"Yuki, please stop!" She cried.

After a half hour of running, Yuki slowed to a stop in a ditch with a small stream running through. He fell in the swampy area, gasping for breath. His wrist still bled heavily. Tohru tore from her shirt to try and slow the bleeding then took Yuki's shirt off to fashion as a sling so his arm wouldn't move much.

Tohru pulled Yuki up and helped him walk back to Shigure's house. It turned out that they weren't far. It was only a 5 minute walk.

When Tohru helped Yuki into the house, Shigure looked from the couch where he was watching TV.

"What happened?" Shigure asked as he saw how muddy Yuki was and how he was shirtless with his wrist dripping.

"Can we get him upstairs, he needs to lay down," Tohru asked.

"Yes, of course," Shigure said as he lifted Yuki into his arms and carried him to his room.

When Yuki was in his room, Tohru removed the shirt that was tied around his arm. "Do you know how to treat this?" She asked as she showed Shigure Yuki's wrist.

"No, just do what you can. I'll call Haa-san," Shigure said as he went to the phone.

Tohru treated Yuki's wrist the way she had the previous night. He gasped in pain as Tohru poured the clear liquid over his wrist.

Shigure walked back in. "Haa-san will be here in 5 minutes."

"So, tell me what Yuki did," Shigure asked.

"Well, last night I walked into his room and saw his window was open. I saw an open package of blades sitting on his desk so I went up on the roof. I saw that he had already taken one of the razor blades halfway across his wrist. Then, today on the way to school, I asked him why. He said because he was afraid that he wasn't thin enough and he was afraid that people would hate him," Tohru said.

"So, he's started up again," Shigure said.

"What does that mean?" Tohru asked.

"Well, a few years ago Yuki was let's say, unstable. He became bulimic. Every once in a while when Yuki would be self conscious about what people think about him, he would start again. Last time, he nearly died because of it," Shigure said sadly.

Tohru looked fearfully at the unconscious form of Yuki lying on the bed.

There was a knock at the door downstairs.

Tohru ran downstairs and let Hatori in. "I've walked this path many a time before." He said.

Tohru led him upstairs where Shigure sat deep in thought.

"Honda-kun, would you mind staying out of here for a while? I need to have a talk with Yuki," Hatori suggested.

Tohru shut the door and went to her room.

"Yuki, wake up, we need to talk," Hatori said as he poked the boy's arm.

Yuki's eyes opened. "What is it?" He asked.

"Why did you start all of this again? Don't you remember last time when you almost died?" Hatori asked. "Is it because of her?"

"No, no, it's not Honda-san. It's everyone else. Everyone expects me to be 'Prince'. Everyone expects more than I can give. I just can't suffer through it," Yuki said.

"Are you making yourself throw up again?" Hatori asked.

Yuki nodded.

"How many times a day? And how long?" Hatori questioned.

"Well, the most was 12 and I've been doing this for 3 months," Yuki replied quietly.

"Yuki, you leave me no choice. I was going to call them last time, but you got better. I have the number for a boys' camp for those with eating disorders. You'll be there for probably 2-4 months," Hatori informed him.

"What? I've got to be in the middle of nowhere for 3 months!" Yuki cried.

"Yes, or at least until you're better," Hatori said.

"You wouldn't do that," Yuki said disbelievingly.

Hatori pulled a cell phone from his pocket and began to dial a number.

"Hello, I have a new member for your camp. The name is Yuki, Sohma. Perhaps he could come over Thursday?"

"Yes, thank you," He finished.

"Well, you're going to the camp Thursday. You're due there by 11:00 in the morning. This means we'll have to leave around 8:00," Hatori said.

"Whatever, just let Honda-san in," Yuki said with his head in his good hand.

Hatori sat on Yuki's bed and began to treat his hand.

Tohru ran in and threw her arms around Yuki. Tears fell from her eyes.

Hatori finished and left the room. He closed the door behind him.

"Honda-san, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," He said. "Because of what I've been doing to myself, I have to leave for 4 months."

Tohru sobbed harder.

"Don't worry, I have a cell phone, so we can talk every night. Please don't cry," Yuki said as he rubbed the girl's back.

"Maybe, I could help you start packing?" Tohru asked.

"You can if you want, but you don't have to," Yuki said as he let go of Tohru.

Tohru and Yuki spent the next hour collecting things and packing them up. As Tohru was helping, she picked up some jeans with a tiny waist but Yuki told her, "Don't pack those, those are too big on me." This caused Tohru to break down and cry again.

"I'm sorry, I promise, for you, I'll get better," Yuki said.

"How can these be too big on you? They're tiny, I couldn't even fit these and they're too big for you?" Tohru said.

Yuki nodded. Tohru wiped her eyes and apologized.

When they finished Yuki said, "Thank you so much for helping me, Honda-san."

"It's no problem, it's the least I can do," Tohru said as she wiped her eyes again.

Tohru went to her room and lay on her bed. Before she knew what happened, she fell asleep.

"Tohru-kun, Tohru-kun?" A voice said.

Tohru opened her eyes to see Kyo walking out of her room.

"K-Kyo-kun, did you want something?" She asked.

"I brought you some food since you didn't come down for dinner," Kyo turned around holding the tray.

Tohru sat up and took the tray from Kyo's hands. She began eating and said, "It's wonderful! I didn't know you could cook so well!"

"It's nothing, really," Kyo said modestly as he blushed. He left the room and walked back downstairs. Minutes later, Yuki walked in carrying a tray.

"Do you mind if I eat with you?" Yuki asked nervously.

"Not at all," She answered.

Yuki set his tray on the end of Tohru's bed and they talked as they ate. Tohru was saddened when she saw how little Yuki ate.

"Please, Yuki-kun, try to eat more," Tohru pleaded.

Yuki let out a deep breath and proceeded to finish the whole meal.

"I wish I didn't have to go to that camp for so long," Yuki said sadly.

"Well, hopefully it'll all be worth it when you come back," Tohru told him.

"Yes, I suppose, but look at everyone I'm leaving behind. I mean, didn't you say that half of the girls in the school are in that Price Yuki fan club thing?" He asked.

Tohru nodded, "Of course I'm not one of them. I couldn't risk it with letting slip that we're living together, you know. Then there are the club rules."

"What are the rules?" Yuki questioned curiously.

"Well, 1. Don't steal personal property from Yuki.

2. Never enter Yuki's house

3. When speaking to Yuki, always have someone else present

4. Call him by the following names

First years- Sohma-kun

Second years- Yuki-kun

Third years- Yuki

5. Failure to follow these rules may lead to severe punishment, whether or not you're in the club.

Then of course, their motto is interesting, 'Let us all extol and love Yuki who has been kind enough to grace us with his presence'. (A/N: That's not exact, but it's the basic idea.) Then, there's the translation for the motto, if you'd like to hear it?" Tohru asked.

Yuki nodded.

"Well, basically, their motto means 'Don't steal him, bitch'," Tohru told him.

"Wow, you see this is what I'm leaving behind? These girls care enough to make a fan club, rules, and even have a motto!" Yuki said sadly.

"I know, but if these girls really love you like they say they do, they'll do anything they can to support you and help," Tohru said but she blushed.

Yuki thought for a moment why this would cause Tohru to go red in the face. He then realized everything she'd been doing; she'd been doing everything he'd needed. He realized how Tohru must feel. He then blushed as well.

"Um, excuse me, but I have to go, Honda-san, I'm sorry," Yuki said. He picked up his tray and went to his room. Immediately he went into his connecting bathroom and shoved his fingers down his throat.

Yuki was stopped from his vomiting by a hand firm on his shoulder pulling him back. "Stop it, stop right now," the person said.

Yuki expected Tohru, but was surprised when Shigure had a hand on his shoulder.

Well, there's the second chapter. A lot happened in this chapter, didn't it? Anyway, what I wanted to say was, I'm going to start updating once or twice a week so you can expect to see Chapter 3 between Wednesday and Friday! Thanks for the reviews, I'm loving them!

kailyhaleyz: I'm a huge Yuki lover too, but he's the one that just seems most likely to try to kill himself. Sorry bout that.

Blood Thirst: Thanks for the info! I really didn't know that. I'm not going to change it because I'm too lazy, but thanks for telling me, anyway. Thanks for the review!

athrunnumber1fan: Yes, it was Yuki in the bathroom... of course you already know that. Not a real cliffie this time unless you're anticipating what the writer has to say to Yuki. Keep reading!
