Hey! Here's the next chapter. It's kind of short, I know, but I wanted to end it with some sort of cliffhanger, and I thought here would be a good idea. Oh yeah, befroe I forget, I forgot the disclaimers in the first Chapter.

Disclaimers: I do not own Fruits Basket, or any of the characters, but I do own Sarkain and the plot!

Sarkain's POV Eyes blinded by rage, I continued to run. I could hear them start running behind me, but I didn't care. I didn't even care where I was going. All I wanted to do was to find a tall tree, or a cave, climb in them and think. Nothing made sense anymore, it's not like it ever did for me. I continued running, hearing their footsteps fading away a little.

Haru's POV

She shouted at us before running off. In a split second, we had all realized what happened, and took off after us. She needed to stay, if Shigure was going to tell her our secret. She was a very strange girl. The way she tensed up and had to leave once Yuki told her that he was a Sohma. Not to mention the fact that Kyo had found her, unconscious, and half freezing to death in the cemetery. That's what got me thinking. 'Why was she in a cemetery? And why was she unconscious like that? What the hell was KYO doing in the cemetery anyway?' I thought. Shrugging it off, I started to focus my mind on running. Yuki, Kyo, and I, the more athletic ones, were up front. We were loosing her though.

"Damn, how can a girl run that fast?" I heard Kyo curse onto my right. He was right, for once. She WAS fast! If she kept it up like this, we would loose her in a matter of time. Suddenly, I had an idea.

"Hey, Yuki, Kyo," I said. They both caught my eye and nodded. Yuki, who was on the other side of Kyo, much to the cat's horror, jogged back for a second, ending up on my other side. We all nodded. Yuki and Kyo then each grabbed me and threw me in the air.

Normal POV

Haru landed with a thud in front of Sarkain. 'Good aim, if it had been just a little off, I would've landed on her,' Haru thought as the girl stopped suddenly in front of him. He smirked. "Going somewhere?" He asked, trying to sound like he usually did. There was something about her. Something that he found very intimidating. She looked at him and narrowed her eyes.

"Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. My. Way," she said, venom coming out on every word. Haru flinched, hoping she didn't realize. She did. She narrowed her eyes even more and tried again. "You better get the hell out of my way, if you don't want the crap beaten out of you," she spat. Seeing him back away slightly, she took a step toward him.

"No," He told her flatly. "You really need to kno-" He was cut short when her fist collided violently with his stomach. 'Thank god for these trees' he thought to himself. When Yuki and Kyo had thrown him, he had landed in-between two trees. This was good. Now, if she punched him, he would be able to tighten his grasp on both trunks and, maybe, only take a small step backwards. That way, she'd think him stronger than he actually was. Unfortunately, she was stronger than he had imagined, so his knees buckled a little when he received the blow. Also, she had excellent eyesight, so she saw every movement of pain he made. She smirked as she saw the blood running down his chin.

"I already told you, I don't give a shit what you're going to tell me!" she hissed at him, her face inches away from his. Haru couldn't tell but feel slightly attracted to her. Her pale skin, thin pale lips, and long over dyed and bleached hair. Her eyes were hard grey, outlined by a dark charcoal color. 'Shit! I can't like her! She nearly beat the living hell out of me for God's sake! All in one punch!' Haru scolded himself. "Now I'm going to make it clear!" she hissed in his face, eyes narrowing. Sarkain raised her fist to hit him again. She saw the fear in his eyes as he looked at her raised fist and smirked again. She was about to bring her fist down and strike him, when she heard noises from behind her. Surprised, she turned around, only to see a mass of orange hair fall onto her. Kyo had tripped and landed, right on the pissed off girl. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ASS!" she shouted at him, trying to push him off. She had almost gotten him off, which was harder because Yuki had put down his foot on Kyo's back, thinking it would keep her in place for a while, when Sarkain saw the others coming in the background. Tohru, being the same old Tohru Honda, didn't see what had happened, so she tripped on the same rock Kyo tripped on, and landed right on him!

POOF!

"What the HELL?" Sarkain said, finding herself, on the ground, with Tohru and an orange cat on her. Everyone looked in horror, from the girl, to the cat, to the other girl. The girl with a very, VERY pissed look on her face.

"Um, do you guys want to go back to the house?" Momiji asked, breaking the uneasy silence. Haru gratefully nodded, then stumbled forward, still aching from Sarkain's blow. Yuki looked at her and, being Yuki, extended his arm toward her. She just growled, pushed Tohru off of her, earning her a glare from both Yuki and Kyo-the-cat, and started after Momiji.

When they got back to the Sohma estate, Haru threw himself onto the couch, as Sarkain smirked. Shigure heard them and came out of his office, Hatori and Ayame following him. (A/N- I don't even want to THINK about what they were doing in there!)

"Hatori is here to look at Yuki's injuries," Shigure told them, seeing as they all sent confused glances at the trio. "Ayame came because there was nothing else to do, his shop is closed for the weekend. We were -"

"Quiet!" All the other Sohmas and Tohru shouted, not wanting to hear what exactly they were doing in a closed room. Shigure put on a fake pout, but shut up anyway.

"Yes, I was here to look over Yuki, but it seems like Haru – chan needs to be checked up too," Hatori told them, taking a step toward the couch and indicating that Yuki sit on it. Haru reluctantly got off, grabbing his stomach in pain as he tried to move. "She found out didn't she" he added, nodding his head toward Sarkain.

"Huh? How did you know?" Sarkain asked, as the others just nodded sadly.

"Why else would Kyo be standing naked behind you?" Shigure answered. Sarkain looked confused, then looked behind her.

"Wha – EW!" she exclaimed turning back almost immediately, leaving a blushing Kyo behind her. Sarkain glared at Shigure. "Thank you so much for telling me that," she told him coldly, every word dipped in sarcasm.

"You're welcome!" Shigure said happily. Either he was too stupid to realize that she was being sarcastic, or he was just fooling around. Sarkain was almost positive it was the first. She glared at him, fists clenched. Luckily, for Shigure, Hatori noticed this, and stopped her.

"We don't nead an other major injury in this house, After what you did to Yuki, I wouldn't be surprised if Shigure ended up in the hospital, that is, if you hit him," he added, his eyes telling her that she shouldn't.

"Yeah, in the hospital if he's lucky," She said under her breath, growled, then sat down on the couch, very close to Yuki's head. "Yuki, get off the cough, I need to look over Haru," the doctor told him. With much difficulty, Yuki got up and started walking toward the kitchen table. Tohru immediately drew him a chair, and kept muttering things like, "Yuki – chan, you shouldn't have started running after what happened." Kyo just scrowled and turned his attention on the doctor, who was examining Haru.

He had a giant bruise on his stomach. He was clenching his teeth in pain and the doctor prodded the wounds, then applied some sort of ointment on then. Even if it hadn't even been an hour – old, the bruise was already a painful black and dark blue color. After a few moments, Hatori nodded, and Haru sat up from his former position, seeing as though him laying down with his shirt off was making it slightly uncomfortable to the girl, who's glare was still locked on the wall. An eire silence filled the room.

"Nice punch," Kyo mumbled to Sarkain, who showed no sign of hearing him. He sighed, then sat down on one of the kitchen chairs, not wanting to be next to the tempered girl.

"Well, as you already may know, we are cursed," Hatori started.

"Yeah, and when someone from the opposite gender hugs you, you transform," She finished for him.
