X: Yay, next chapter up quite quickly!
Roku: Yeppers. I'm very happy about our last chapter.
X: As am I, Roku. I think this one will throw you off a bit.
Roku: What do you mean?
X: You'll see. We don't own Fruits Basket, you know that, right?
Roku: Yup. We are only fans. (Holds hand over heart and sighs) BUT I OWN YUKI DAMNIT!
Chapter 3: With one last wish…
Neko and Hatsuharu sat on the couch together, Yuki across from them, his eyes on the floor. MEOW! (Again with the meow Roku!) Hatsuharu glanced from Yuki to Kyo, who was staring aimlessly out the window. He seemed lost or heartbroken. Yuki stood and walked out of the room, leaving Roku on the couch. Neko stared at her. 'Roku…?' Roku sighed lowered her head into her hands. 'Poor Roku…I guess she hasn't found him…' Roku looked at her cousin.
"Is there a reason you're staring? Is there something on my face?" Roku grabbed a mirror looked herself over. Neko shook her head again and again.
"No Roku I was just lost in thought! Nothing about you!" Roku looked back to her cousin. She smiled but Neko knew that behind that smile, Roku was shattered. Her heart was falling apart and Neko knew. Everything around her seemed to fall apart. Every time she was close to someone, they ended up getting hurt. That's why she was reluctant to get close to Yuki. Roku put the mirror down and pulled her knees to her chest. By this time, Neko and Roku were the only ones left in the room.
"Roku-chan, I'm sorry." Roku shot a glance at her.
"Sorry for what? You didn't do anything…"
"No, I guess it was my fault for inviting you to live with me. I was lonely and because of my selfishness, you're hurt. I didn't mean to…" Roku lowered her head into her knees.
"I love him Neko! I love him and he doesn't love me!" Roku screamed between sobs. "I love him…I love him…" She was down to a whisper now and Neko sat beside her.
"Roku…" Neko wrapped her arm around her cousin and let her cry. It was one of the rare times Roku ever broke down in front of anyone.
"Kyo? What's wrong?" Kyo closed the door and locked it.
"Why? Why did you leave me once that girl came along?"
"Kyo, I love her. You didn't expect me to always be with you, did you?" Kyo held a stern look on his face.
"I did…I wanted for us to always be together so if I can't have you…no one can…"
Yuki brushed his hair back. "Kyo, you're not making any sense!" Kyo pushed Yuki onto the wall and hovered over him. Yuki leaned his head away from him. Kyo smiled.
"You know I love you…" Kyo leaned closer. "And I'm a greedy person. You will be mine." Kyo then kissed Yuki, sinking onto him. Yuki struggled to move, wiggling free eventually and running down the hall. Kyo smiled and chased after him, pushing him into the bathroom. Yuki fell over into the bathtub, his pants now wet from the leftover water on the bottom. Yuki jumped up and pushed past Kyo but Kyo was too fast. Kyo grabbed Yuki's sleeve and pulled him back into the bathroom and sat him on the toilet.
"Now, be a good boy Yuki." Kyo leaned in again, pressing his lips onto Yuki's again. Yuki didn't resist this time. Kyo smiled and pulled off. "Good. I will have you all to myself." Yuki pulled his bottom lip into his mouth as Kyo left the bathroom. Yuki ran out of the bathroom and downstairs.
He ran directly into Roku's leg, tripping and falling on top of Neko. He transformed, Neko blushing and throwing the rat across the room. Roku pushed off the ground and crashed into the coffee table as she pulled Yuki into her arms. She slid into the couch and slammed her back on the door. She screamed out as the weight of her body closed the door on her leg. Neko grabbed Roku and pulled her onto the couch. Yuki, still in his rat form, was placed on a pillow as Neko put an ice pack on Roku's leg. Shigure and Shinoka rushed into the room only to find Yuki transformed, Roku in pain and Kyo at the top of the stairs. Neko entered the room again, an ice pack in her hand.
"Roku, are you alright?" Shinoka asked. Roku smiled.
"Yeah, is Yuki alright?" Yuki nodded.
"Miss Katsuragi, thank you." Roku smiled then blushed deeply, hiding her face in a pillow as Yuki transformed back. Yuki laughed and pulled a pair of pants back on.
At 7:30 PM, everyone was leaving. The doctor, who had made a house call, said Roku had a broken ankle and shouldn't walk on it. Shigure and Shinoka left together and Kyo, Yuki and Tohru sat in the living room with them.
"I'm truly sorry about this." Yuki apologized. Roku shook her head and smiled.
"No! It's all okay! Really!" Kyo glanced at the clock.
"We should be getting back." He said. Tohru nodded. Kyo and Tohru stood but Yuki shook his head.
"Roku, Neko, would it be okay if I stayed here the night?" Neko and Roku nodded.
"Yeah, you can share Roku's room!" Neko said. Roku threw a baseball bat at her cousin.
"Shut it!" Neko laughed. Yuki smiled.
"Would it be okay if I shared your room?" Roku blushed.
"Uh, y-yeah. I wouldn't mind." Neko laughed. Roku threw a baseball at her. Yuki smiled and picked Roku up.
"Then should we be going? You need all the rest you can get." Roku blushed.
"Sure." Neko blinked. Hatsuharu was in the kitchen. He had been there since Kyo and Tohru left. He was staying whether they liked it or not. Of course, Neko didn't mind it. Yuki carried Roku up the stairs and to the last bedroom. They sat on Roku's balcony, watching the stars.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Roku asked. Yuki smiled and put his hand under her chin.
"Yes, you are." Roku blushed deeply and shifted in her chair. Yuki smiled and kissed her. Roku wanted to resist at first because she was a little shy when it came to Yuki but she didn't care anymore. She loved him and, so she figured, he loved her as well. Neko peeked out the door that led to the balcony and grinned.
'They are so cute together!' She thought. She then walked out of the room and went to her room. Hatsuharu was making her bed.
"Uh, hi!" Haru said. Neko smiled.
"Hey there! How are you?" Haru gave her a thumb up then Neko pounced.
Yuki carried Roku back into her room and put her on her bed. He walked to the other side of the room and shut off the light. He sat in the bed next to her and smiled.
"This has been a weird day, has it not?" Roku nodded. They stared as they heard screams and moans down the hall.
"God, do they ever stop?" Roku asked, annoyed as she slid under her blankets. Yuki rested his head on his hand as he brushed Roku's bangs out of her face. "Yuki, I love you."
Yuki stopped and dropped his head onto her pillow.
"I love you too Roku." Roku turned onto her side the same time Yuki did. They smiled at each other and kissed.
Neko and Haru awoke around the same time and went downstairs together. Yuki was dressed already, eating toast.
"Morning Yuki!" Neko said. Yuki put his finger to his lips.
"Roku is still sleeping." He whispered. Neko jumped and covered her mouth.
"But we have to get to school!" She screamed. Haru smacked his hand over her mouth.
"Roku needs to sleep." He said. Yuki nodded.
"I'm getting her work for her." Yuki said. Neko nodded and sat next to Haru at the table.
"I guess that works." She said. She moved her hair as the three of them left a few minutes later.
At school, Kyo and Tohru were absent. Neko sat next to Haru and Yuki sat with them. The teacher went through role call then Yuki stopped.
"Katsuragi Neko?" Neko raised her hand. "Minamoto Ryukisha?" But before the teacher got an answer, Yuki was out the door.
"Miss Katsuragi was skipped." He muttered, running down the hall. The fan club attempted to stop him but he just ran past them. He was out the front doors of the school and was running towards the Yukimora residence. He ran through the door and up the stairs to Roku's room. He opened the door to an empty room. No bed, no Roku, no anything. Roku was gone and so was everything about her.
"Excuse me Yuki, what are you doing here?" Yuki turned around. Mr. Yukimora was standing behind him.
"Excuse me but where is Roku?" He looked confused.
"Roku? Is she you're girlfriend?" Yuki looked to the floor, unsure of what to say. "Well, she doesn't live here anymore. She was taken to live with Akito a few minutes ago. Roku doesn't have much so it was easy to clean out her room. Akito already withdrew her from that school yesterday and now she's home schooled. Is that okay?" Yuki shook his head.
"No…its not okay…Akito is going to hurt her and you let him catch his prey." Mr. Yukimora was shocked as Yuki ran past him and down the stairs. He jumped the fence and ran into the main house. He stopped when he saw Akito holding Roku's hands and holding her close. Yuki dropped his school bag.
"Akito!" Akito and Roku both looked at him.
"Ah, Yuki, nice to see you." Roku looked back to Akito.
"Akito, is he…" Yuki and Akito looked at her. "Is he a friend of yours?"
End Chapter: That chapter was shorter then I wanted it to be. Oh well. I love how I ended this chapter although some might not like the rest of the fiction from here. YAY!
Preview:
"Huh? Is Akito going to do something to Roku?" Shinoka asked. Shigure couldn't look at her.
"I think so…Akito…he fell in love with Roku and I think he might…" Shinoka took his hands.
"I understand. But why is it Roku? I mean she's my cousin! Why not anyone else! I hate it! I don't want Yuki or Roku to get hurt!" They were silent as the door opened beside them.
NeYaw! We will update soon!
