Hello again. Here is the third chapter of my little tale. Once again, still a white male American. So that eliminates any chance of me being Natsuki Takaya. Thusly that means that I do not own Fruits Basket or its characters.

Kisa opened her eyes. She was looking up at a white ceiling. She stared up at the ceiling for a few seconds trying to figure out where she was. She then remembered what had happened. She remembered being grabbed by several men and having a pill shoved down her throat. And then there was nothing. Then she woke up here. Wherever here happened to be. She sat up and took a look around. She was in what appeared to be a simple bedroom. She was sitting on a western style bed. In front of her was a door on the left side of the wall and a chest of drawers and mirror on the left. The left wall had a small closet and on the right wall was a door that opened into a bathroom. Kisa suddenly realized that she wasn't wearing her school uniform anymore but was instead wearing a simple white dress. She walked over to the closet and found her uniform hung up along with several other outfits. She looked at herself in the –mirror and she couldn't see any marks or injuries. She decided to see what else there was and perhaps find out who it was that had kidnapped her. She went through the door and entered what looked like a living room. There was a door on the wall straight ahead and a western style table and chairs on the right side. On the left wall was a stand with a small TV and some chairs, next to another door which led into a small kitchen. The whole place had the feel of a small apartment and the walls were white, except for the bedroom which was brown. There were no telephones or computers, not even a single window. On the table was a plate of food, various dished Kisa recognized as American. There were some hamburgers and French fries, and a pitcher of water. Kisa looked around to see if there were any camera around but the walls were smooth. She decided that no matter what was to come she would deal with it better on a full stomach, and since she hadn't eaten since lunch, she dug right in.
After eating the burgers and fries, Kisa sat down in one of the chairs and tried to figure out who might be behind all of this. She knew that the Sohma family was rich, and she wasn't stupid. She knew that money makes people jealous and so it's within the realm of possibility that someone would try to extort money from the family. She wondered what Akito would do if given a ransom demand. Akito would hate the idea of being ordered around and forced to pay. On the other hand he may do it simply to avoid the risk of her transforming and punish her himself. Neither scenario filled her with much confidence. That was when she heard the door start to open. She looked and saw a man enter. He was wearing a business suit and had short brown hair. He appeared to be in his early twenties. He looked down at her and smiled.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Sohma. My name is Yoshi Tenkawa. I have been given the assignment of checking up on you. I know you must be wondering what's going on. All I can say is that my boss ordered you held here until he got what he wanted from your family. I don't know what that is and if I did I couldn't tell. But I promise you, none of us here wish to harm you. Right now our boss is working on negations with your family. Until that is done you must remain here as our guest."

He pointed to a panel next to the door

"Press this button if you want something. The kitchen has food here but if there's something special you want we can probably get it for you. We won't allow any electronics but if you want a book or magazine to read I'm sure I could arrange that. Hopefully your family will do the right thing and give the boss what he wants so you can go home. Are there any questions?"

Kisa of course had a million questions, but she knew that she wouldn't get any answers so she shook her head.

Yoshi smiled and walked out of the room. After it closed, Kisa collapsed to the floor and started to cry. She was alone and she knew it.

"WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE" yelled Haru.

Yuki sighed. Haru had turned Black several times since he arrived at the house. He had been angry since he had heard the news about Kisa and didn't seem to be calming down anytime soon. Tohru and Kyo were on the roof keeping watch for the rest of the family to appear. Shigure came walking into the living room

"Now Haa-kun, I know you're angry but breaking down my walls won't fix anything. I'm sure the others are coming as fast as they can."
Shigure sighed and thought back to the events of the last hour.

Flashback

Tohru and Hiro had just returned from the park with no sign of Kisa. Hiro was angrier than ever and so nobody tried to talk to him. Tohru tried to comfort him but he snapped at her and Kyo yelled at him and finally they got to the point where Shigure had to yell at both of them to get them to get their head on straight and focus on the real issue. That was when the cordless phone in Shigure's pocket rang.

"Hello"

"Hello Mr. Sohma. You don't know me but I think you know why I'm calling. It involves the little one you call Kisa"

"Who are you and want have you done with her" Shigure said, trying to control the anger in his voice so as not to tick off the kidnapper. The other boys and Tohru could tell what was going on and backed away to give Shigure room to pace.

"Now now, I assure you the girl is fine. We're holding her in a small apartment in our complex. She will have all her needs taken care of. Oh I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Yoshi Tenkawa. I handle the bosses business. Anyway the reason I'm calling is to tell you that a delivery boy will be arriving at your house shortly. He will be delivering a DVD. This DVD is a message from my boss. All his demands and explanations are there. I suggest you gather all those involved and watch it together before you make a decision. All I can tell you is that my boss doesn't want money. This involves his reputation, something he cares about more than cash. And it involves someone living at your house. That's all I can tell you. Do you understand?

"Yes" said Shigure. And at that the line went dead

/flashback

Sure enough about 20 minutes later the delivery came. Shigure had been fighting temptation to watch the thing himself but knew he could wait until the other's arrived. It was better for everyone to be on the same page. Finally they started to come. Hatori had a car load, carrying Momiji, Ayame, Rin, and Kagura. Ritsu arrived last. Kureno would remain at the house to watch over Akito. Akito had been gone for the past two days in Tokyo on business and was exhausted, Hatori had given him pills to help him sleep and he was snoozing when he had left.

At last everyone was seated around the table. Tohru was on the floor with Yuki and Kyo on either side, each holding her hand. She looked terrified, and both the rat and the cat knew why. She blamed herself form what had happened to Kisa. They had tried to convince her that it wasn't her fault, but she didn't seem convinced. Shigure had tried to get her to go to bed. HE said that this was a Sohma family issue and that there was no need for her to get involved. Tohru simply said that she wished to help the family, the same way they had helped her. And so they all sat together and waited as the disc began. A man appeared on the screen. He was around middle aged, with short brown hair. He was wearing a blue business suit. Yuki suddenly felt Tohru squeeze his hand. He looked over to her.

"Honda-san, all you all right?" But he could tell that she wasn't She had a look of terror on her face, fear with bewilderment. Kyo suddenly realized what was going on.

"Hey kuso nezumi, what's wrong with Tohru"

Yuki glared at him

"Do I look like I know?"

Before a fight could break out Shigure paused the disc. He walked over to Tohru and put her hand on her shoulder.

"Tohru, are you ok?" he asked. Tohru looked up at him and over at Yuki

"No I'm not. I know that man. That's Shinji Onigawa. Yuki, don't you recognize him? He was at grandfather's house when you came to get me. He's my uncle. The man who had Kisa taken is my uncle" And unable to contain herself any longer Tohru collapsed into tears.

Wel what do you think? Prety nasty ciffie isn't it. Anyway, hope you like it so far. Please R&R
