Waking up once more they all got ready for school and left together once more. The quietness was almost deadly. Not even Arisa, who traditionally made fun of Kyo's hair or attitude, was completely quiet. Saki was just as quiet since she wasn't given a reason to talk, and the others were just like walking statues. Their feet may have been moving but their lips weren't. The feeling was almost the same as when you are unsure of what to say to someone when they lose a loved one.

Reaching the school, they go through the same classes as always just as quick as ever. Kyo and Tohru were sitting together at lunch with Uotani and Hana-chan. On the other hand though, Yuki was sitting with the members of the student council. Since of course, he was now the president of the student body until he was to graduate at the end of the term with the rest of the kids in his year. Which had included Kyo, Tohru, Arisa, and Saki. Looking at Tohru, Kyo began to get a little worried. "Tohru…are you feeling well?" Kyo asks looking at her slightly pale face.

Catching his worried eyes, she replies, placing a quick smile on her face, "I'm fine Kyo-kun, thank you." The smile gradually vanished as if someone was yelling at her to stop.

Kyo looks at the doors of the lunchroom. Just beyond them was Hatsuharu. He looked just as lifeless as ever. Something had definitely happened on the day he had ran into them in the forest. Though he wasn't quite sure. All Kisa told him was that Kureno was being mean. "Whatever that's worth," he grunts under his breath. Getting to his feet, Tohru looks up at him curiously. Seeing her look at him he turns around and glances at her. "I'm gonna talk with Haru a little…I'll be back, okay?" He sounded slightly aggravated at the feeling that he was obligated to answer her odd, glued expression that was resting on his eyes. She nods and smiles, then continues eating the lunch she had bought.

Arisa and Saki kept her company. It was the first time either of them had spoken that day. Though, Uo had a right to be a little quiet. She had seen her and Kyo get hurt right in front of her. When she saw this, she must have felt helpless. Like she was just uselessly standing there as a crowd to observe what exactly was going on. Did she feel as though it was her fault that Tohru got hit? Or that Kyo got hurt? What she was thinking at the moment, she wasn't able to keep a firm grasp on. It was as though her thoughts were slipping away from her furiously reaching and closing hands.

Approaching Haru after a fairly long walk to the doors, Kyo leans against the wall beside him. "What's up with you Haru?" He says quickly as Haru begins to walk off. "What did Kureno do to you to make you look so emotionless?" Kyo continues on, asking a second, much more important, question. He watches Haru stop in his tracks and turn around almost tripping, as he stood upright.

"You don't understand what it's like to love someone. And then be told that your not allowed to be close to that person, Kyo." He murmurs to him quietly, stepping a little closer so that Kyo could comprehend what he was saying. "I'm…. not allowed to go near Rin. And… if I do… she'll get hurt." Haru continued on, his voice extremely soft as if everything he said was coming from the last bits of air his lungs had kept hold of. "I…I wouldn't be able to stand it…if she got hurt again because of me." He whispers just as quiet as his last sentence. Kyo opened his mouth to speak, but Haru merely ignored that and went on with what he was saying. "We finally got back together Kyo! We're finally together again… and Akito's taking her from me! She's pulling away my life practically …" said Haru desperately as he stared at Kyo, eye to eye even though he was a year younger in age and school wise.

Upon hearing this there was nothing that Kyo really couldn't say. "You, Haru Sohma, think that I don't know what it's like to love someone…" He said gently back to him, almost repeating what he had said. "That's…where you are wrong Haru… I know what it's like. Because I do love someone. And I'm happy…that for the time being… I can be with her every day, almost every minute." Kyo informs him strongly as if he had been offended by his remark. Grinning softly, he tilts his head and says, "Since when do you let Akito control your life, Haru," then walks off back into the lunchroom to retrieve his bags and head to his next class.

He sat quietly in the next class, utterly alone. The first person to arrive was the teacher, followed by Yuki, Tohru, and Arisa. Somehow, Saki had gotten caught up in a wave contest, but they ignored that knowing that no one else in the school had the powers that Hanajima-chan had. From left to right in the desks sat: Kyo, Tohru, Arisa, Saki, and then Yuki. Behind Yuki were his many fan girls or as they liked to call themselves, 'The Prince Yuki Fan Club'. The class began the moment twenty-two students were seated. Though no one knew why the teacher had waited for that exact number. It was probably some kind of number complex. Like, maybe he believed he'd get bad luck for that many years if he didn't get started in that fashion, with that precise number of students seated.

The time went by quickly, only for everyone to go running out of the class as quick as possible. The five of them went to the gym and played tennis outside with Haru and Momiji. For the first time in days Haru had a somewhat happy expression draped across his face. And, without further question, the game began, all of them hitting the ball as hard as they could, paying completely no attention to any of the rules. By the end of the day, they were all wiped out and went back to their homes. With the exception of Saki who did not bare even the slightest sweat drop.

Haru and Momiji went back towards the Main Housing and got to their homes to where their parents were located. "Please Yuki…have fun with everyone at Sensei's home, it's better for you." Haru had said to him in private, as he was about to leave.

When Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki got back to Shigure's house, they took turns taking showers and getting their pajamas on. Afterward, they all studied together, Kyo yelling at Yuki whenever he got a question wrong.

"Damn! Damn! DAMN RAT! DAMMIT!" He exclaims stabbing the pencil angrily down into the table they were working it. The tip of it snapped and he now had a broken pencil. Tohru sharpens it for him happily, trying to take no notice of the anger in Kyo's voice as he yelled at Yuki. After the short, but loud quarrel between Yuki and Kyo, it was quiet and they did only their work together. Kyo, in complete surprise, helped them with almost all the questions. Although he never listened much in class, Kyo seemed to know more. Maybe he was just better at understanding the given directions or something of that sort.

By the time they finished, they were so tired that they all could have just fallen asleep on the ground in the living room, circling the table with their motionlessly tired bodies. But, trying not to act lazy, they all went upstairs to their rooms and laid in bed quietly.

Each of them drifted wearily to sleep and more then likely forgot everything they all took turns teaching each other. Their dreams were filled with things they enjoyed doing. For the fact that no stress was put on any of them today, they all slept well.

Tohru's dream consisted of almost every member of the Juunishi along with Saki and Arisa. Only it excluded Akito and Kureno as if they had became the outcasts of the group. They all enjoyed themselves playing games outside. They ran around, played tag, and played tennis without the rules again.

Kyo, in his dream beat Yuki badly to a motionless body. He was running around proudly and rubbing it in Akito's face. As if that wasn't enough, he found himself kissing someone and woke up, startled. Sweat gently glided down his face, his eyes wide as he stared into the darkness. The glow from the moon was the only light that seemed to just barely elucidate the room. He couldn't believe what he had done in his dream. And he knew exactly whom he had kissed. Ms. Tohru Honda. His lips had gently touched her soft ones. Then just seconds later he had awoke to the moment its at now.. "It…" he breathes heavily, and places his hands on the bed, "was just a dream… that…wont ever happen." He finishes slowly, "Not to a person like me…." Lying back down he goes back to sleep and his dream began to shift around from good to bad to good again. Everything was confusing ever since he had awoke and gone back to sleep.

The oddest dream of all was Yuki's. It didn't show anything happy, but the worst possible things that could happen in the future. He saw Kyo being locked away, his hands pressed against the cold, steel door that was tightly locked, screaming for someone to help him.. Then he saw Hatori whose cheeks were fairly damp as he pressed his hand to her forehead. The girl fell backwards and revealed to be Tohru, dream Yuki's eyes got wide in fright. Akito was now walking towards him slowly, as if she had been infected by yet another illness. Her hands gently rested on his shoulders, her face moving closer to his. Yuki's eyes shot open, now awake. In pure fright, his eyes got even wider. Looking down at him with a careful grin was Akito.

Yuki sat up and pulled himself back as far as he could until he hit the wall. The gazing eyes that were Akito's slid across the side of his bed. Her hands were on the edge of his bed, leaning over toward him. "Yuki…" she whispers quietly and grabs him by the hand, tossing him out of bed. "I feel the need to have you know something." Akito-san began carefully, then an evil smirk crossed her face, "Kyo, in order to stay free, has to defeat you. As of course, the Cat can never beat the Rat." Then she added more as she went along. Yuki's eyes grew wide hearing all of this. The darkness was consuming her. Yuki's room was practically pitch black since the moon seemed to be glowing near Tohru and Kyo's room. (Author's note: Akito had said more to Yuki then I typed. This will all eventually be revealed)

"Tha…. That's not right." Yuki stutters stumbling to his feet to look at Akito in slight fear. "You shouldn't do that…." He mumbles quietly.

Suddenly, she places her right hand on his left cheek, her thumb digging in to the other side of his face. It got red as soon as her nail touched his skin. "You will not tell me what I should and shouldn't do Yuki…" she moved closer and whispered this into his ear. "Now, remember that you will not tell anyone. Not even Honda Tohru…" At the sound of Tohru's name he nodded. He didn't want to make a dumb mistake and have her get harmed again. He had already been told of what happened the night before when she was with Kyo.

One thing suddenly got into his head quickly. How had Akito appeared in his room when she was just in his dream? Could it be that what he was dreaming was going to happen? Were Tohru's memories of the Sohmas' actually going to be wiped out? Was Kyo actually going to be locked away for the rest of his life? Though he felt very bad for Kyo, there was not a chance in hell that he would lose intentionally to him. After all these years he still was hated by him, so why try to help out. His pride was far too large for him to just give up to Kyo. It was all too unbelievable. Had Akito actually just spoken to him?

He blinks a couple times and sees that Akito was still there, staring at him questioningly. "I …. I wont tell a soul. Not even Ms. Honda." Akito's eyes were still locked on him. What more did she want him to say? Did she want him to just hand his own soul over as a guarantee? "I wont tell anyone at all." He pauses then sees a slight grin on Akito's face, "And I especially wont tell Kyo…." Yuki murmurs to her quietly. "Now…please… leave," said Yuki as he tried to pull his face from her grasp.

Letting go of his face, she turned and walked toward the bedroom door. "Yuki….you should come visit me more often. A second room is being built. I can lock you in there again. It'll be all yours. No one to bother you…" her voice trailed off as she exited the room cautiously and vanished downstairs. No sooner had she left the room was she walking into the forest with the waiting Kureno.

Sitting back on his bed, he lays back and stares at the ceiling. "Why can't my dreams be good ones…. And not nightmares." He whispers as he fell back to sleep rethinking the things that Akito had added at the end. Only he knew and he alone. The sorrow he was beginning to feel was horrible. How would everything turn out if he doesn't tell everyone what he was told? What if he can't get to Kyo in time to inform him?

Comments:

Well. I finished chapter 10! I guess I just type and type and type…: goes on for an hour: until I can't type anymore. Well I may as well make this a little free type zone like Takaya-san. Whenever I type I listen to music. So when I type these chapters I listen to either: 'Every Heart' an Inuyasha song, or 'Let's Stay Together' Furuba opening, or of course L'Arc-en Ciel. I swear…without those songs…I bet I couldn't stay focused and typed. I guess it keeps me going. The songs I listen to usually vary with the mood of the chapter. Just imagine what I listen to when I type all of Akito's nauseating speeches. Actually to be honest, I listen to 'Invitation to Freedom' by L'Arc-en-Ciel. Does any of this make the slightest sense?

If there's anything anyone wants me to talk about at the end of a chapter just tell me. I can probably find stuff to say, lol. Anything that has to do with Fruits Basket or anime's/manga that I am familiar with. (Which are: Furuba, Full Metal Alchemist, Inuyasha, Samurai Champloo, FullMetal Panic, s-CRY-ed, D.N Angel, FoolyCooly, Ranma 1/2) I watch anime and read manga too much, lol.
