Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, but if I did Yuki and Tohru would have been dating since the third book!
Chapter 5
"The old head of our family is…err…power hungry…. and he likes to leave scars on us…but these scars are mental scars. He used a black room on Yuki…so now every time Yuki starts to think about it he…err…freaks." Kyo picked his words carefully.
"I see. That's horrible." Hana said with out revealing a signal emotion. They left the room/hallway to enter the hallway they started in. They looked around at each door trying to figure out which one Yuki went through.
"Yuki likes purple, does he not?" Hana asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Kyo answered as he looked at Hana.
"Then we go through that door." Hana replied as she pointed towards a purple door. Kyo shrugged and then followed her to the door. As Hana reached out and opened the door ever so slightly they heard a scream. Without a second thought they raced inside and started up the stairs.
………
Uo finally sat down in the living room. 'This isn't getting me anywhere! Now what?' Uo thought to herself as she looked around the room. There was a door that was cracked open and knowing that was a start she took it. She followed the doors that were slightly creaked open till she found herself in a hallway.
Uo studied each door till she figured out that only three doors in this hallway had been open recently. 'Well I guess I can look in each one.' Uo shrugged as she walked up to the green door first. She opened it and peered inside. It was more of a garden then a regular room. She closed it and walked up to a tan door.
She pushed it open to see a long hallway that didn't seem like it stopped. Uo closed the door and walked to the end of the hallway, where there stood a light pink door. Uo slowly opened it to find it was a regular bedroom, that's bed was messy from being slept on. Uo walked into the room and opened the dresser looking for something, anything.
When Uo opened up the third drawer she saw one of the neatly placed outfits were missing. Uo shut the drawer and looked on the bed. There was a tray with plates on it and a half full glass of orange juice. Right next to the tray was a remote for the tv, which she didn't care about. Uo opened the bathroom door to find a dirty school uniform still on the floor.
"Tohru? TOHRU!" Uo screamed as she whirled around and headed for the exit, but when she tried to open it, it wouldn't move. Uo started banging on the door hoping that it would pop open. From the hallway Uo could her a women's voice laughing, which made Uo very mad.
"Let me out of here!" Uo started pounding harder as the laughter started to vanish.
………..
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tohru yelled as she continued to fall. She was only ten feet away from Yuki and he had no idea what to do.
'If I try to catch her I will transform and then we will both be falling! But if I don't try she will die! Oh, what to do?' Yuki thought as suddenly an idea came to him. Why not try it? He had no other choice.
"I'm going to try to catch you Tohru! When I do, don't rap your arms around me like a hug or else, we are both dead!" Yuki yelled up at her as he put himself in position, to catch her.
'Is he nuts? He will transform and then we will both die!' Tohru told herself but knew he knew what he was doing. She closed her eyes and prayed against every thing that no matter what they would survive. He saw her coming right to him and out stretched his arms. She landed in them with a thump. She opened her eyes and looked up at Yuki's smiling face.
"So what where you saying a minute ago?" Yuki asked with a smile of pure happiness.
"I was saying I have missed you!" Tohru said as she pressed her lips to his. It was like her first kiss all over again only this time she was the one that wasn't surprised. As they broke away from each other, all they could do was stare into each other's eyes. Swimming in the emotions that they were feeling at that very moment.
"Tohru!" Two familiar voices were heard yelling up to them from below. Yuki set Tohru down and they peered over the rail and saw black and orange heads heading up to them.
"Hana-chan! Kyo-kun!" Tohru hollered back down as she ran down the stairs to her friends. When they met up Tohru and Hana hugged and started talking at once as the two boys watched the happy girls.
"So where is Uo?" Tohru finally asked.
……….
"Ha! That was probably the easiest ever! Now I think I shall go get a drink before I go look for Yuki." Ms. Ramtos laughed as she made a few turns, and went through a few doors. When she made it to the kitchen she opened the fridge and started to rummage around looking for something.
"Oh! Lunch! Yummy, I haven't had this in awhile." Ms. Ramtos stated, as she pulled out a top aware with two slices of pizza. (a/n: Incase you are wondering why she has so much American food, it's cause she lived in America before Japan)
Ms. Ramtos stuck the pizza slices into the microwave, and punched a few buttons. 'Lets see now. Kyo is in the cat room, and the thug is in the girlie-girl room. Next will be Yuki, and then getting the waves girl will be pretty hard. As soon as she is taken care of Tohru will be a piece of cake!' Ms. Ramtos could help but think to herself.
"I think I shall go check up on the kitty!" Ms. Ramtos couldn't help but gloat.
……….
"So according to this paper, Uo is suppose to be in a girl room, eh?" Tohru asked trying to make since of everything.
"That's right, Tohru. How do we find her?" Hana asked after explaining that she wasn't able to use her waves in her for some reason.
"We go to my room. What?" Tohru said as she turned around and headed back up the stairs. Everyone stared at her but relentlessly followed. After some time they finally made it back up to the little trap door on the wall that lead to the garden room.
"Be quiet and walk fast." Tohru warned them as they started walking towards the door that leads to an all too familiar hallway. They opened the door and peered out just in time to see Ms. Ramtos leaving the hallway through a red door.
"I remember that door. She won't be back soon, come on!" Tohru whispered to her friends. They ran to the pink door to hear someone banging on the door with a lot of force.
"Yankee?" Kyo yelled at the door unsure.
"Orangey? GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Uo yelled at the door and started banging harder.
"Stand back away from the door, Uo-chan." Hana commanded. Uo stepped away from the door and waited. 'What could she be doing that would need me to back away from…' Uo thought as she stared aw struck at the door. The once light pink door started fading from pink to black. The beautiful glass doorknob started to turn black and didn't look to good at all.
The door started to creek open slowly, to reveal an angered ex thug with clenched fits. Her eyes screamed revenge, as she practically tore the girls' school uniform.
"Hey! Uo-chan, please don't tear me uniform!" Tohru begged as she stepped up to her friend.
"TOHRU! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? DID SHE HURT YOU? WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS ON THAT DEVIL!" Uo spat at the ground.
"Later! Come on before she comes back! Akito made this place so unlike you guys I would really like to get out of here." Tohru said as everyone just stared at her, and the boy's eyes widened at the horror of Akito.
……….
This isn't over by a long shot people! So I hope you enjoyed this really short chapter!
