Will

Chapter 3: How Can That Be?

"Hatori-san, how is that possible?" Kyo was almost in shock.

"If more than one person in the Sohma family has the same animal… than the older of the two will die. But that's never happened. Once the ceremony is complete, Shigure will die within a day."

"B-but… Then, how can she become head?" Kyo looked towards her bedroom door.

"She has to marry the Sohma cursed with the year of the cat." Hatori's expression hadn't changed at this, but Kyo's did.

"W-WHAT! How will that fix anything?" Kyo almost fell over.

"Because if someone on the 'outside' marries the cat, then they will become the cat."

"Then wouldn't I die!"

"No. The cat's curse is better in that and another way, which leads me to tell you something else. There was one other way that you could have hugged Tohru without transforming."

"How? Wait… Why didn't you say it in front of the rest of the family?"

"Because an uproar would start. You see… If someone from the 'outside' falls in love with the cat, and the feelings are returned, known or not, then they can really be together."

"W-w-w-w-what did you say?"

"You heard me." Hatori was cut off when a sound was heard from behind Kyo. "Yuki…"

"No." Yuki said, and ran off.

"YUKI, WAIT!" Hatori must have planned to tell him next.

YUKI'S POV!

I had been running for at least 10 minutes, but I kept going. All I wanted had already been claimed.

'How could she? I wore my heart on my sleeve and opened up to her like no other! How could she fall in love with the cat? Of all people she chose the cat. But the cat isn't ever supposed to get anything he wants! The cat is supposed to live a life of Sohma seclusion till 18, and then be looked up for the rest of his life! Not supposed to find love and live a happy, long life!'

By the time I stopped running I realized that I was at Hanajima's house, and about to transform from exhaustion. I had less than a few minutes, and needed to use my time wisely. With I managed to ring the doorbell once.

Intercom: 'Hello?'

"H-pant Hanajima-san… Hel…" Yuki fell to the ground before he could finish his sentence.

Not a moment later Hanajima came running out off the house with her brother trailing her.

"Sohma-kun…" Hana noticed that he was having an extremely hard time breathing. "Brother, go inside and clear my bed of my denpa books and other things. Prepare it so it is suitable for Sohma-kun."

"Okay, Hana-chan." And with that, he left.

'Hmmm… his waves tell me that things have happened. Emotional pain, suffering, hurt, loss. What could have happened?' She started to lift him, his body pressing on hers to the point of…

'POOF!' In her hands, Hana held a small, grey rat.

Im going to end it there so I don't have to post for at least… uh… 5-9 days because this is the second chap in one day and I can't write much more in one day… It's short because I have writers block for the day… Oh well… REVIEW! pats self on back for finishing 2 chaps in one day!
