Technically, this chapter is just about her grandparents dieing, so you don't have to read it xD, although she moves into a tree house, so that's kinda funny, cuz she runs into Yuki-kun on the way to work, so maybe you want to read it. Oh yea, and this is crossed over with fruits basket… it happened by accidentally, literally, when suddenly I found my self thinking about the Yuki in this story changing into a rat xD and his name was Yuki from the beginning, so that's just like, a huge coincidence.

Recap:

"Meghan, please" he said, looking at her pleadingly. He slowly lowered his lips to hers. Her eyes widened in shock, but then slowly closed, as Yuki parted her lips with his tongue. He slowly pulled back, knowing he'd gone too far and looked into her eyes.

"Yuki…what was that for?" she asked again, not looking at him, blush creeping across her face. He stood up, not answering her, but held out a hand to help her up. She took it, as he helped her up; they looked at each other, and then quickly looked away.

"Sakuya wasn't the only one who wanted you Meg" he said, before walking a way, leaving her to just stare after him, shocked yet comforted.

Chapter 11: Why'd They Have to Leave

It had been a good two months since Meghan had stumbled upon Sakuya and Bridget, who were now going out, having gone all the way. She didn't give up on him, but a plan was hatching in her mind. As Meghan was walking home, she saw cop cars racing past her, towards her block. She narrowed her eyes, quickening her pace. She suddenly broke into a run as she saw a crowd huddled around her house. She pushed her way to the front, under the yellow tape and forced herself past the police who tried restraining her.

She saw her grandparents being taken into an ambulance as the police finally caught her since she'd stopped dead in her tracks, tears welling up in her eyes.

After they got the story out that she was their grandchild, they let her into the ambulance as it drove off. She watched as they were wheeled into the emergency room, being held back by a nurse.

She sat alone in the waiting room, no one else there surprisingly, although people came in and out occasionally. Her cell rang as her eyes started closing with sleep, startling her and making her jump.

"Hello?" she said into her cell, rubbing her eyes.

"Meghan?" came Yuki's voice, the voice of someone behind him echoing to her, and then she heard Bridget say something to them, a fight happening between them she could guess.

"Yuki? Is that Bridget? Why are you guys calling me at" she checked her watch "midnight?" she said, leaning back against the chair. "Oh, hold on" she said as a nurse approached her. She placed her hand over the speaking end, as she looked up at the nurse.

"Meghan I presume?" she said, as Meghan nodded her head. "Your grandparents just got out from the emergency room, although you won't be able to see them for a while still… their in critical condition. The doctor will be out within an hour or two to explain what happened, as they said you just arrived on the scene as they were putting them in the ambulance" she said, looking at Meghan's tiered eyes. "I love your eyes" she smiled, as Meghan blushed. "You hear that a lot I guess huh? How bout a cup of coffee or something?" she asked, smiling still, trying to comfort her.

"Do you have green tea?" she asked, smiling "and yea, I do hear that a lot" she said, blushing again. The nurse handed her a cup of tea, then headed back behind the desk.

"Sorry about that Yuki. So, why are you calling me this late?" she asked, taking a sip of the tea.

"Bridget and I heard what happened. We came to help you through you time. After all, we both know your grandparents… but they won't let us in" he said through the phone.

Meghan laughed as she said she'd be down in a minute. As she walked she started to think back, about the last month.

Flashbacks

Meghan came home, Bridget closely behind, her grandma had come home early. They all spent the afternoon together, shopping and laughing. It was later that night that Bridget came to their house, tears in her eyes. Her parents had just gotten in a huge fight, and she felt it was her fault, so she'd come, asking for a place to stay the night. Meghan's grandma helped her parents sort out the trouble while Bridget stayed the night in Meghan's room. It happened often, although her grandma never went to go talk to them again, but stayed with the two, comforting Bridget. She stayed over a lot, as their parents started the paper work and everything for a divorce. She was going to stay with her mother, here, in china, while her father moved to Tokyo. She said she'd visit him anytime the school took them out there. Bridget was like a sister, another grandchild to her grandmother, spending a lot of time with them. She'd even met Dillon…or somewhat. He'd bought a web cam as well, and they talked to each other through it. After one of the talks, Bridget understood why Meghan had liked him once and teased her about it.

She was welcome anytime she wanted, coming over at least twice a week, even after the divorce.

Although they were reluctant at first, Meghan's grandparents aloud Yuki to come over as well; although he tried keeping his distance from both Meghan and Bridget touching him. Both Bridget and Meghan had come home after school one day, inviting Yuki along. When they arrived at her door, Meghan's grandma appeared once again, shocked that Meghan had brought home a boy. After reassurance from both Meghan and Bridget, her grandmother aloud them to take him up to her room, but to keep the door open. Seeing that he was a good guy, they aloud Yuki too, to come over when he wanted. Although Meghan and Yuki never continued what had happened on the stairs two months back, it still lay fresh in their minds. As Yuki had a fight with his uncle, he asked for shelter as Bridget had, at Meghan's house. He stayed there for a week, until his uncle had come, realizing what he'd done, asking for forgiveness.

End of flashback

She reached the door, and told the security guard they were family as well. He let them through, frustrated. Yuki and Bridget both smiled at her, hearing her call them family. They all walked up to the waiting room of the top floor where Meghan's grandparents were taken, waiting for the doctor. Seeing how tiered she was, Yuki assured her he'd wake her up once the doctor came, as she leaned her head in his lap. He smiled at her as sleep slowly took her over, the last thing she saw was Bridget smiling at her, her eyes sparkling.

She woke to what seemed like a second later, to feel Yuki shaking her softly. She sat up, rubbing her eyes, leaning against Yuki as she gave a small yawn. She looked up at the doctor, who looked at the three of them, a smirk on his face as he saw her leaning against Yuki.

"It ain't what you think doctor…" she said, clenching her fist.

"I wasn't thinking anything then" he smiled at her. "Well, about your grandparents" he said, sitting down across from them. He started to explain what had happened to her grandparents, all their faces wide, a vivid picture reeling in Meghan's mind.

The Scene

It was five in the afternoon, an hour before Meghan would be home from school when both her grandparents arrived home early, having a day off for the forth of July. They sighed as they sat at the Kitchen table, drinking some water, enjoying some soup. The clock chimed six, when there was a crash; something had been thrown in through the window.

They both stood, staring at a capsule that had crashed through the window, when it suddenly binged. A purple gas exploded from it, filling in through their lungs, the alarm quickly going off. The police arrived not to long later, gas masks over their faces. They carried them out, and put them on stretchers as Meghan fought her way towards them.

End

She blinked her eyes, feeling hot liquid escaping her eyes, Yuki's arms around her waist, Bridget's around her shoulders. They tried their best to comfort her as she cried against Yuki, the doctor saying they'd be able to visit her in pairs.

Bridget and Meghan both stood up and followed the doctor, leaving Yuki, his head leaning against his hands which were in a praying position, although in truth, he was somewhat praying to himself.

They entered the white room to find her grandparents on opposite sides of the room, hooked up to an IV and monitor. They both ran to them, splitting up, Meghan going to her grandpa and Bridget going to her grandma. They talked for an hour, in which they switched. Meghan and Bridget both left the room as Yuki passed them, walking in. He looked at both of them, tears running down his face. Meghan's grandpa motioned him to come, and he obeyed.

"Please, do us this one favor" he said raspy, referring to both of them, as Meg's grandma's breathing became hollow, slowing slightly; they were running out of time and fast. Yuki nodded his head, grabbing the grandfather's hand, which he held up to him. "Take care of her. Protect her. For us-" he said, taking his last gasp of air. His fingers slowly limped, loosening the grip around Yuki's hand, his head sinking into the pillow, his eyes closing, a smile forming on the grandparents' face as Yuki assured him he would, until the day they all met again. He looked over at the grandmother to see her too smiling, her head sinking into the pillow.

The doctors and nurses ran into the room, pushing Yuki out as the long bing sounded, echoing through the silent hallway, Meghan and Bridget both running towards the room as it reached their ears. Yuki just stood there, staring at the white door they had shut on him, tears flowing down his eyes faster. He turned to Meghan as she approached her knees weak. She started to fall towards the ground, when Yuki caught her, bringing her and himself slowly down, as she cried into his shoulder, Yuki hugging her tight, Bridget sitting, leaning against the wall, crying as well; They'd just left them.

"Why? Why'd they have to go?" she whispered to him as they all slept at Bridget's house, Meghan wrapped in Yuki's and Bridget's arms.

"It was their time, we couldn't stop it Meg" Bridget said, hugging her tightly.

"I felt it… I felt something bad was going to happen today, and I ignored it. How could I ignore it? My feelings like that always come true" she said, staring up at the ceiling.

"Don't blame yourself Meg" Yuki said softly, hugging her tightly as well.

They all fell asleep, crying, holding each other in their arms.

They attended the funeral a few days later, spending the night camping out in the backyard of Meghan's house. Her parents, aunts, uncles, everyone was calling her, saying to burry a rose with them, to pay their respects, to burn the money, to make sure she was okay. She assured them she was, when all at once, Bridget, Yuki and her parents said "Where are you going to stay?" softly, concerned.

She smiled weakly and said "at their cousin's house. They said they would more than gladly take me in at the funeral"

And so the day arrived in which Meghan moved out of the house and into a very big one, where she felt welcome. However, it suddenly turned the tables when they decided to renovate. "We need to add extra room, we feel it is going to be crowded once Satsu (one of the cousins) has her baby" Meghan nodded, saying she had a place to stay, when in truth she couldn't burden her friends.

She lived in a tree house, somewhere on a hill. While on the way to school one day, she heard voices. She stopped and looked around, to see a house. She saw two men walking towards her; one with amber hair and another with black. They suddenly stopped seeing her, one of them smiling.

"Ohayo Meghan" Yuki said, nudging the man next to him, who Meghan saw was his uncle, as he looked from one to the other, a smirk on his face. "May I ask what brings you by?"
