Hi it's me again comin in with another update. This will be the last chapter that is set in this time frame the rest will be set 16 years later.

So anyways on with the story.

Disclaimer: Nope still don't own Fruits Basket. Trust me if I did Yuki and Tohru would already be together. But I don't so....don't sue. I do however own my original characters and would appreciate you asking before you use them.

Chapter 3: It doesn't matter

Haru stood at the back of the group he closed his eyes understanding what Hatori had said about Yuki. "So, she's the cat." He whispered looking back at Toshi. Without a word he quietly left the room.

Haru walked down the hall he growled out loud, his temper rising. "Dang it Yuki, where are you?" he mumbled under his breath. He blinked as he walked past the doors leading out into the garden. Yuki was seated on one of the large stones in the garden the snow falling gently around him. "Finally," Haru said walking out the door. "Yeh know you're harder to track down then your animal." He said walking up next to Yuki and leaning against a nearby beam.

Yuki smirked looking up at Haru glazed purple eyes showing no emotion. "If I were truly like the rat I could disappear and no one know or care." Yuki said quietly his voice cold with no emotion. Haru blinked at Yuki's words, he'd never heard or seen Yuki like this. "Yuki, I understand how hard this must be...." Haru blinked as he was cut off. He was totally unprepared for Yuki's reaction.

"Difficult? You have no idea. At least your children will actually love you. At least they won't be obsessed with beating you!" Yuki yelled getting to his feet as tears fell from his eyes his fists clenched at his sides. " She's my daughter and I can't even stand to look at her. Without fear of what she is and what she'll do." Yuki said sinking to his knees.

"Yuki don't you understand? It doesn't matter what she is, it's who she is that matters." Haru said quietly walking to Yuki's side. "Your right she is your daughter, and despite what she may become. She's some one you love, she's apart of you." He said watching the snow fall. "That's something you just have to keep telling yourself." He said surprised by Yuki's sudden movement.

Haru looked up at Yuki's face and smiled at the returning light in Yuki's eyes. " Thank you Haru, I think I understand." Yuki said giving Haru a small smile. Haru smiled back as he stood and clapped Yuki on the back. "Come on let's go in, it's getting sorta chilly." Haru said walking towards the house.

Yuki smiled as he looked out at the falling snow. A small look of doubt crossed his face before he turned and walked inside.

Well that's chapter 3. Hope you like, and leave lots of nice reviews.

Kyo: "hmp.. I'm not even in the story yet." Kyo grumbles at Dragongirl

Dragongirl: "Don't worry Kyo, Your in the next chap." Smiles sweetly

Kyo sweetdrops "I don't like the sound of that." He says backing up a step.

"I don't know what you mean," Dragongirl says with evil smile

Kyou "Gulp" before Dragongirl hugs him. "Awwww, you're such a cute kitty!"

Kyo looks at readers " A little help, would be nice." He says before Dragongirl carries him off.

A/N: To everyone who had a question from the last ch. About Toshi I would really appreciate it if you would wait until the next chapter. It explains a lot and I will leave a note and explain the whole "Kitty" thing then. Thank you.

Until next time happy trails
