This is my newest chapter in my Fruits Basket Fanfic.

Note-I don't know where they live in japan.

Note2-I own Lista, her dad Mike, her little brother Mare, and her dead sister and mother, nothing else.

Note3-Please NO FLAMING. I hate people who read a story then tell you how crappy it was.

Note4-My email is , please send me some ideas for my story. I love to talk to people too.

Note5-Sorry, I know people hate notes, but I need them. Tohru is not in this story and all the main characters like Yuki, Kyo, Hatsuharu, Kagura, Momigi and my very own Lista, are all 17.

Note6-Haru talks to himself, conversing with his black side, kinda like arguing with your emotions. And Black Haru can come out whenever he wants too, or whenever I make him.

Chapter2-Hatori's House call

Lista sat in the library, waiting for Hatori to get ready to try and see what was wrong with her. He got a few books out and then turned to Lista, who was sitting quietly in the chair across from him.

"Are you ready Lista?" He asked. Lista nodded and Hatori place his left hand over her eyes. He sat there for a minute then picked up a pen and his notebook with his free hand. He began to write stuff down. As he sat there with his hand over her eyes, he closed his eyes...

"Mom I'm going outside. I'll be back later." Lista said. Her mom looked at her from the kitchen.

"Ok sweetie. Be back for dinner." She called to Lista as she closed the door.

"Listy can I go too?" Mare asked. He ran up to Lista and hugged her waist.

"Sure thing little dude." Lista said. Mare and Lista went over to the park and found a playground. Mare went to play and Lista watched. She loved to be outside, the fresh air was relaxing to her. She watched Mare go down the slide and fall on his butt. He laughed and walked back over to Lista.

"Listy, can we get some icecream?" He asked. Lista was about to tell him it would ruin dinner but she didn't.

Note7-Mare is 7 in the story, so here he is 5. Just letting you all know

"Sure thing, but it can't be much. I didn't bring much money with me." Lista said and picked her brother up, placing him on her shoulders. Mare was singing a song that Lista recoignized as the song that their mother sang to him every night. He didn't know most of the words but it was still the cutest thing ever to hear him sing it. As they reached the icecream store, he stopped singing and Lista took him off her shoulders.

"Ok, lets see how much I have and then we can pick flavors out ok." She said as Mare climbed into one of the seats in the icecream store. He watched as Lista counted out five dollars and 13 cents. Lista walked Mare over to the flavor cooler and they picked out Mint Chacolate Chip. They got the icecream in a little bowl, with two spoons and then left the icecream store. Lista carried Mare on her shoulders as they walked back to the park. They sat at a bench and ate the icecream. After about an hour and a half, Lista decided they should head home. She got Mare and put him on her back. As she walked out of the park, she heard him yawn and fall asleep on her back. As Lista reached her street, she noticed a bunch of ambulances and cop cars at her house. Lista hurried to the house, not stopping for the yellow tape around her house.

"Hey, you cant go through there. This is a restricted area." An officer said and grabbed Lista's arm. She was about to say something as she saw her mother being carried on a strecher to the ambulance. Mare started to wake up.

"Mom...?" Lista said in a whisper. The cop let go of her arm and Lista ran over to her mothers side.

"Hey sweetie. Dinners in the fridge." She said. They closed the door to the ambulance and drove off. Lista sat there with a very sad Mare on her back. Lista later learned that her sister was in the ambulance too, and neither her sister nor he mother made it to the hospital before they died. After that day, Mare stayed close to Lista. He didn't like seeing his sister sad, but she was never sad infront of him.

A bright light flashes and now Lista and Mare are sitting in the living room, playing Sorry. Lista laughed as Mare sent her pieces back to start. After playing for a while, Mare fell asleep on his spot on the floor, so Lista moved him to the couch and put a blanket over him. Lista sat on the couch next to him and looked around. Their house was very empty, almost all of their stuff was moved to a storage center so they could move within the next year. Lista watched Mare as he slept and then fell asleep herself. Lista woke up, coughing and finding it hard to breath. She saw black smoke filling the room and picked up Mare and ran to the bedroom that the two shared. Lista grabbed her backpack, luckily having her books in her locker, and put some things into the backpack. A few of those things were a family picture, a music box, a few books, Mare's favorite stuffed animal and blanket, Lista's homemade blanket and her hidden keep of money, and Lista's oldest and favorite stuffed animal. She closed her backpack, putting the backpack on her back. She gently picked Mare up, grabbing his pillow and her pillow before heading back to the living room. She grabbed the picture of her mom and sister from the table next to the couch and headed for the kitchen, flames blocking the fromt door. She made her way out the back door and ran across the street, almost being hit by a cop car and a fire truck. She collapsed on the grass acroos the street from her house and she made sure Mare was ok. She wasn't going to let anyone take him from her. A cop did come up to her, to try to get Mare to come over to an ambulance that came but Lista wouldn't let him touch Mare. She took Mare over to the ambulance and since that day, Mare hardly ever left Lista's sight.

Hatori moved his hand and looked at Lista. She was shaking and sweating. She looked tramutized an scared. She quickly recovered though and looked at Hatori.

"The told us that the people who made my mother sick we're trying to get me and my brother to finish killing our family." Lista said. "They said my mother was supposed to survive the ride to the hospital." She started to cry.

"Shigure told me some things that your father told him. He said you get bad pains in your chest and have trouble breathing when you are overcome with emotions." Hatori said. "Why is that, do you know?"

"When I was little, I never showed love, or anger, or any other emotion. I would never need to be picked up as a child and I never cried for my mom. I started to show a little emotion, mostly compassion, a few weeks after my 12th birthday. Those feelings were for my mom and little brother and sister. After my mom and sister died, my heart shut itself down for a while. Mare knew that I was in pain and he tried to help, but he is still too young. Things got worse last year when I started having dreams about it. I would wake up to a pain that felt like a knife in my chest, or I would have problems breathing. My dad tried to give me medication for it, but the medication made it worse. And Mare has always been sensitive to the sun. I just make sure he takes his medicine so he doesn't get weak. I don't want to lose him too." Lista started to cry more. Hatori was about to say something when Lita got up, knocking over her chair, and angrily left the room. Shigure heard her leave and went into the library to talk to Hatori.

"So, how did it go?" Shigure asked. Hatori put his books away.

"She has emotional problems. She locked up her emotions when her heart shut down. She'll be ok, she just needs to be more open to people and not keep herself locked up." Hatori said. "Tell Mike that I'll come back in a few days to check on her again." Hatori said to Shigure and then left the library and headed to his car.

Haru sat on the porch outside. He watched Hatori pull away, heading back to the main house. A few minutes after Hatori left, he saw Lista and Mare leave the house. Haru was at an odd angle so Lista couldn't see him, but he could see her. He watched as she picked Mare up and put him on her shoulders. Mare laughed and looed like he was happy to be with his sister. Haru sometimes saw the same expression on little kids who were with their mom's. He guessed that Lista was like a mother to him.

"Hello Haru. What are you doing out here?" Shigure asked and sat on the porch next to Haru. He looked at where Haru was just looking, seeing Lista turn out of the yard and leave for town.

"I was just thinking." Haru said.

"Thinking about Lista?" Shigure asked.

"Why do you care?" Haru asked with some annoyance in his voice.

"Just wondering. She kida stormed out on Hatori, why don't you follow her?"

"Why would I do that. I don't need people I hardly know thinking I'm a crazy stalker or something." Haru said. But I will go see if she wouldn't mind if I went with her." Haru said and walked off after Lista. Shigure smiled to himself and went back inside.

"Well little dude, where do you want to go?" Lista asked Mare, who was happily humming while on Lista's shoulders.

"Can we look for a park Listy?" He asked. Lista cringed a little at her brothers nickname for her and smiled.

"Sure how bout we go this..." She started.

"Hey Lista. Wait up." Someone called. Lista turned around and saw Haru.

"Oh hi there." Lista said. Mare waved to him.

"Hey Lista. I don't think you know me but I'm..." He started but was cut off by Lista.

"Your Haru. I know." She said. Haru looked surprised.

"How did you know my name?" He asked.

"When I sleep, I can hear people talking. I heard your name a few times last night. I just match the names to the voices." She said. Haru smiled. Mare kept making cow noises.

"Mare be nice." Lista said.

"So, where were you two headed?" Haru asked.

"The park." Mare said. "Listy, can oxy come too?" Mare asked.

"Sure. Would you like to come with us Haru?" Lista asked.

"Sure Lista. I can help you guys find a park too." He said.

"Yay. The park, the park." Mare said. He loved to act like a little kid.

"Well, lets not stand here all day. Lets go find a park." Lista said and the three made their way into town. As they walked, a group of teenagers passed them, coming from the school. Lista laughed. Summer school for the stupid people, she thought. Mare laughed as well. They walked for probally 20 minutes before they came to a park. Mare climbed off Lista's shoulders and went to play with another group of kids on the jungle gym. Haru and Lista sat on a bench, watching Mare play and talking about somethings every few minutes. Haru watched Lista as she seemed to be focused on Mare as he played. As they sat there, Haru heard a familer voice.
