Redmoonfae: Thank you soooo much for all the great ideas, reveiwers!

Tohru: Yes, some of them were very good.

Yuki: ...

Redmoonfae: Oh c'mon Yuki! I know you liked the part about you getting to beat the crud out of her 'uncle.'

Yuki: I must admit that I liked that part.

Tohru: ...I liked that part too...

Redmoonfae/Yuki: O.O

Tohru: Enjoy!

Knock knock knock

Yuki slowly opened his eyes. He looked at his clock. It was about 9:30 a.m.

More knocking.

Yuki slowly rolled out of bed and got dressed. He tumbled downstairs and to the front door. He opened the door and moaned on the inside.

"Where's Tohru?"

Momiji.

"She's still asleep upstairs..." Yuki said drowsily. "Why are you here, Momiji?"

"I came here to talk to Tohru!" Momiji replied.

Yuki sighed and let his cousin in. Momiji walked into the kitchen and opened up a cupboard. He took out a bag of pretzels and began to munch on them.

Yuki blinked. He had pretzels? Momiji saw the questioning look on Yuki's face and smiled.

"I hid them here from last time! I knew I was comeing over again and I would be hungrey! So instead of carrying over the pretzels, I hid them in here!" Momiji explained.

Yuki groaned slightly and lay his head on his arms. A few minutes later he heard Tohru comeing down the stairs. He picked up his head and sat up straight.

"Good morning Yu-" she said as she walked into the kitchen. Then she saw Momiji.

"Oh, um, good morning Momiji..." she said, somewhat suprised.

"Hi Tohru! I came over to talk to you!" Momiji said excitedly.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

After breakfast was cleaned up, Momiji grabbed Tohru's hand and ran upstairs. Yuki watched them go and sighed. He had to smile though. Momiji and Tohru were good friends those many years ago. Maybe he could help her a little. Yuki walked into the liveing room and got a book, sat on the couch, and decided to read.

"Uh..." Tohru didn't know what to say. Momiji had just dragged her to her room and sat on the bed. Tohru had sat next to him, and now he had started a conversation. About her. She couldn't tell him what had happened to her those years she was with her uncle.

"Um, well, how have you been? Where do you work?" she asked quickly.

Momiji frowned. He knew it wouldn't be easy to get her to tell him about herself. "Well, I work for Yuki now. I'm sure Kagura told you about how Yuki's the new president of the company. I work with him." Momiji said with a smile.

Tohru smiled back. "That's good..."

"Tohru?"

"Yes?"

"Please tell me what happened to you when you were with your uncle..." he said openly, looking down.

Tohru took in a sharp breath. She looked down, her bangs covering her eyes. "If I told you..." she began, "..you would hate me..." she fineshed.

Momiji put a comforting arm around her, but not close enough to turn into a rabbit. "I could never hate you Tohru." he said gently.

Tohru began to cry. "I've never told anyone. Never wanted to tell anyone. I was always too scared. I thought...I thought that if I told Yuki, he would hate him. Shun me." Tohru began. The tears wouldn't stop.

The memory came back...

"Even if your damn Yuki did come, do you really think he would love you? Look at you! Your just a dirty little tramp!" her uncle yelled to her one night.

Tohru sat in her room on her blanket, bloody and dirty.

"He would hate you! He could never love such a hideous beast!"

Tohru cried harder, shudders going through out her body.

Yuki passed by Tohru's room on the way to the closet.

"He beat me."

Yuki froze, his eyes widened. His hands clenched into fists as anger boiled up inside him. He clenched his teeth setting his jaw.

"He cut me every day. He beat me every day. He never let me finish school or go anywhere. He either kept me inside or made me go to that hell of a place." Tohru sobbed. She hated her ' work. ' Men would always grab at her and touch her in places she wanted no man to touch without her permission. Then one day, she was raped at her ' work. '

She had screamed out to anyone, screamed for help. But no one came. No one tried to help her. They didn't even look at her. She had gained many scars from that day. She had run home as fast as she could, ran to her room, locked the door, and stayed there for three days.

When she finnaly came out one night, she was going to run away. Get back to the Sohmas. Get back to Yuki. She had fineshed packing and was about to leave when her uncle awoke. He had beat her until she just layed on the floor, unmoveing.

She didn't even try to stop the crying. The tears just kept comeing. Momiji tried to comfort her. He cried as well. Even though she had said nothing for a while, he could tell she was reliving those awful times.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Yuki looked at his bedside clock. 10:30 p.m. Momiji had left sometime around 12:00 that afternoon. Tohru never came out of her room. Yuki clenched his hands into fists. He was going to kill her 'uncle.' Tomorrow. He would tell Tohru he was going out...but he didn't want to lie to her.

Tohru sat on her bed. She had washed her face and stopped crying. She felt somewhat better after telling Momiji a little about what happened. She quietly went downstairs and into the living room. She was going to get a book but froze.

Outside the window, standing in the lawn was the creature from her nightmares. Her uncle. She held in a scream of terror. He just stood there, not even looking at her. He was just standing there. Tohru slowly backed up then stopped. He was looking at a window. Her window. How did he know?

Tohru began to cry, fearing for her life and Yuki's life. She went into the kitchen and got a knife, then went back to living room. She looked out the window. He wasn't there. He was gone. Tohru's breath was ragged. She hurridly went back to the kitchen and put the knife away.

She climbed the stairs and stopped in the hall. There was no way she was going back to her room. Not until she knew it was safe. She looked to Yuki's door and took a deep breath. She slowly walked over to his room and knocked on the door.

Yuki looked to his door, startled. "C-Come in." he said.

The door slowly slid open as Tohru walked in, her cheeks red.

"Um..I was wondering..i-if I could...sleep in-in here tonight..." she muttered looking down.

Yuki blinked. Huh? Why does she want to sleep in here? She never had before. Did something frighten her so much that she couldn't sleep in her room? Yuki thought.

Yuki gave a small smile. "Of course Miss Honda." Yuki replied.

Tohru slowly crossed the room to his bed and sat down. Her cheeks burned as she got underneath the covers. She faced away from Yuki and layed down, head on the other pillow. She muttered a thankyou and a good ngiht, then went to sleep.

Yuki smiled slightly, then also got underneath the covers. He turned off the lamp and fell asleep, faceing away from Tohru.

Tohru's Dream

Tohru sat in the corner of a dark room. She couldn't see anything it was so dark. Her ragged breathing echoed through the empty room.

She heard a door open and looked around, straining to see. She could see a figure comeing closer to her. She let out a scream and tried to stand up. She found she couldn't and struggled to get loose.

The figure grabbed her and she let out another scream.

The light came on as Yuki looked at Tohru worriedly. "Miss Honda..." he asked as he gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

She had screamed twice and had been tossing and turneing. Tohru's eyes opened wide as she struck out at what ever touched her. She brought her hand up fast and smacked whoever was near her.

Yuki blinked, his hand slowly going up to his cheek. It burnt from her smack, but he didn't blame her at all. He blamed it all on her uncle.

Tohru stopped fighting and took in deep breaths. She looked over to Yuki and realised she had just smacked him.

"Yuki! I'm so sorry!" She cried. She moved over closer to him and layed her head on his chest, holding onto his shirt.

"I'm sooo sorry!" she continued to cry.

Yuki blinked.Tohru's head rested on his chest as she quietly sobbed. He wrapped his arms around her without thinking and awaited the transformation. But it never came. He smiled and stroked her hair.

"It's ok Miss Honda. It's not your fault." he replied in a gentle voice.

Her sobs subsided but her eyes remained closed as her head remained on his chest. Tohru knew Yuki planned on killing her ' uncle. ' But she couldn't let him. She knew Yuki was extremely strong and fast.

But her uncle possed guns and knifes. Yuki could--and would be hurt. Or killed. Tohru couldn't bear the thought of Yuki being hurt like that. She cried more, almost unaware that her head was laying on Yuki's chest.

Yuki stroked her hair, looking at her. He coudln't imagine the pain that she must have gone through those seven years.

"Please..."

Yuki snapped out of his daze as he heard Tohru speak.

"Please...don't go to him.." she said.

Yuki knew she was talking about her uncle. Anger rose in him at the thought of that bastard.

"He'll hurt you. I couldn't bear to let you get hurt like that...I-I love you..."

Chapter done! Thanks for all the reveiws and ideas!
