Sakky-Chan : Thank you all for reviewing chapter three and for being so patient with that chapter and this one! I have to say that I am sorry 'cause it seemed to me that my mind was just on other things so I didn't touch the story... But soon Naruto was treating me like how Mitt-Chan treats Shigure when he has a due date... -sniff-
Naruto-Chan wouldn't even let me go to the bathroom so there I was typing out the chapter, feeling the needs to go to the bathroom and take a shower while Naruto Kaiba had me tied to my computer chair!
Naruto Kaiba: -nods- That's what you get. Now keep working or I'll get my trusty rope! -evil cackle-
Sakky-Chan: YES MA'AM! Anyway here is Chapter four! Hope you like it!
Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET! Man I getting tired of saying this!
Chapter 4
Friendship
The walk on the way home for Kyo was very annoying because he had to walk with Haru, Momiji, and Tohru's friends. It wasn't that they were being loud.It was cause they were so quiet! Kyo was beginning to think that if a rock fell on to the path then there would be a echo because of how quiet it was. Kyo gritted his teeth, stopped in his tracks, and turned around to face the others.
They all, except for Haru, looked like they had seen a ghost because of how pale their skin was. What was surprising for him was when he looked at Momiji, it had looked like something had just died. Momiji head was bent down looking at the ground with his bangs covering up his face.
Even Haru seemed like, well almost seemed like it, that he too was depressed. Sure he didn't really look like it with his normal stare but the only way you can tell he was sad, was his eyes. His light gray eyes held sadness along with a fire of hatred. Kyo guessed he and his black side where arguing cause he and Momiji were the only ones who didn't stop and look at Kyo. They just kept there pace and walked pass Kyo as if he was the air himself.
"Oi, Orange Top what's with you? Do you think we're beautiful or something?"
"NO! I was seeing why you two were walking so damn slow! Now, Come on!" Kyo then turned around and ran up to his two cousins.
"Uo...Some thing isn't right about Kyo's waves today..." Hana said, her voice in a monotone
"Really?" asked Uo
"Yes...His electrical waves are filled with sadness and regret..."
"Yeah...He even looks like he isn't ok. He kind of looks like he didn't even get a ounce of sleep... Do you think Tohru-Chan is ok?" Hana turned her head and looked at Uo with great sadness in her eyes. "I don't know Uo-Chan...I just don't know..."
---------------------------
Tohru sat next to Yuki as they both tended the garden finding and pulling weeds they could see, and watering the plants.
Yuki sat up and wiped some of his sweat of his forehead and looked at Tohru. He gave her a soft smile and stood up wiping some dirt off his pants.
"I think that is enough for today Honda-San.The garden seems to be in a good shape...lets head back to the house all right?" Tohru nodded and stood up but kept looking at the ground. They were about to walk away from the garden but she murmured something that made Yuki stopped in his tracks. "What did you say Honda-san?" Tohru looked up at Yuki with a small bit of blush creeping up on her cheeks.
"I was wondering if we could hold hands as we walked back..." Tohru mumbled. Yuki smiled with his own light blush one and shyly took Tohru's hand and walked out of the garden.
Once they were at the house, Tohru was fixing to go in and make some thing for Yuki and herself when she saw Momiji, Haru, and Kyo walking up to the house slowly.
Momiji-kun...? Hatsuharu-san...wha-what are you doing here?" Momiji's head shot up and he quickly ran to Tohru and hugged her, not even thinking of the curse. Once the smoke cleared Tohru sat there petting a blonde rabbit as tears feel from his eye.
"Momiji-kun why are you crying...? Its all right...I'm right here... Are you ok?" Tohru asked as she tried her best to calm her friend down. Haru soon came up to Tohru and grabbed Momiji's clothes. He placed his hand on her shoulder and bent his head down to her ear and whispered in her ear making sure she was the only one to hear.
Tohru stopped petting Momiji and she looked up at Haru with fear in her eyes.
"How-how do you know...You-you would not be able to understand. Don't...Don't look at me like that Hatsuharu-san... I-I Got to go.." She put down Momiji and raced in to the kitchen not even listening to the cries of Momiji and Yuki. Kyo quickly not even saying a word raced in after Tohru.
-----------------------
(Kyo's POV)
I don't know what that stupid ox said to Tohru but it seemed like it was something she didn't like. I've never seen Tohru act like that. It felt like a brick had been thrown into my chest when I saw the fear that sprouted in her eyes.
Once I had found out that Tohru was in the kitchen I felt that pain in my chest as I watched her quickly stir some thing in a bowl.
"Oi, What are you doing." Tohru jumped and dropped the bowl she turned and looked at me I could still see the fear that she held but she quickly covered it up with her usual goofy smile.
"K-Kyo-kun... You surprised me...Sorry about the mess...I'll clean it up." She quickly grabbed a mop and a bucket of water and fell on to her knees. I was going to say something but as soon as I took a step towards her, two loud voices burst in.
"DON'T TOUCH HER ORANGE TOP!"
"Tohru-Chan...it is ok...we are here..." The two quickly rushed to side and took away the mop from her hand as Tohru skin began to turn white.
"What's wrong with her... I-Is she going to be all right?" I asked as Yuki quickly rushed into the room and quickly rushed toward Tohru.
"HONDA-SAN! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT!" Tohru looked up at Yuki with pleading eyes.
"Help...Help me..." Tohru then slumped on to the floor. I felt my blood boil with anger and my heat race with fear. I was angry that I wasn't the one that Tohru called for but yet I feel my heart race in fear for I didn't know what to do.
Half of my self was calling to go Tohru and get that Damn rat out of the way so I could play the hero yet...the other side just told me to leave her alone that I wasn't meant for her and that Akito would kill me if he were to know about what I did.
My mind quickly got out of his train of thought as I heard Shigure enter the room and stood there beside me. I took a look at him. His face held no emotion like Haru's, and his body became stiff as he looked at what was happing. I quickly turned and left the room and made my way to the roof. Tohru didn't need me there and I knew I would just get in the way 'cause I still didn't really understand what happened. When I listened to Hatori talking to Shigure all I understood was that Tohru had gotten hurt. but not bad enough that she would have to go to the hospital but I felt the hair raise on the back of my neck as I began to think of the situation.
'Maybe Akito had found her and beat her up?' It seemed reasonable but it didn't feel right. The other times she had been alone with Akito she would be fine the next day no matter if she had cuts and bruises. She would always act as if nothing had even happened. So why would she be acting like this now?
I sighed as I laid my back on the roof looking at the setting sun. Whatever happened to her I was going to find out.

(Normal POV with Shigure, Tohru, and others)
Tohru sat on the kitchen floor with Momiji beside her and Hana and Uo in front of her and with Haru, Yuki, and Shigure standing by the kitchen door not making a sound. Tohru looked at only the floor as she took deep breaths. Holding a cup of water in her hand as her mind was in it's own dream land.
"Her waves are starting to calm down Arisa..." Hana said quietly.
"Good..." Uo stood up and looked at the three men standing by the door looking at Uo with confusion. Uo sighed and leaned against the wall.
"Don't worry about Tohru...This all ways happens when some thing bad happens to her...Like when her mom died. First couple of days were fine but...soon she couldn't handle the pain and neither could her body. She got into an anxiety attack and starts cleaning like some mad woman. Sure stuff gets clean, but to Tohru it's one of the ways she can calm down and get back to normal." Uo laughed
"She cleaned my whole house and I swear that when my silverware touched the sun's rays it was like looking into sun but up close...Poor Tohru...she tries so hard to keep her head up but she is just a normal person..."
Hana stood up and looked at the three boys while Momiji kept his head on Tohru's shoulder and held Tohru's hand stroking it as he watched a scene unfold.
"Kyoko-san told me what Tohru did when her father had died..." Hana turned her glance to Yuki and looked at him dead straight in the eye. "Kyoko-san told me that Tohru ran away...she was gone for three days soon She found Tohru standing at the front door holding a red hat..."
Yuki blood froze and his eyes slowly began to be covered by a small Tohru sitting a ally crying her heart away.
"I believe she still has that hat...I think it is something that keeps her going... I bet right now she is thinking back to when she had found that hat...thinking on how many memories she has shared with her mother and you all."
Slowly the pictures in Yuki's mind came to a stop where Tohru was standing in front of a sunset smiling at him.
"We need to give Honda-san a celebration showing her how much she means to us..." Yuki blurted out. Everyone, except for Tohru, looked at Yuki giving him their undivided action.
"It's simple really... For a whole day we make it where Honda-san isn't allowed to lift a finger. We will be the ones to cook, clean, and do the other stuff that we rely on her to do. Then when the day is almost done we will give her a surprise party. Decorate the house with ribbons, balloons-"
"AND Presents!" Momiji exclaimed " It could kind of be like a mother's day but instead we will call it Tohru day!" Everyone smiled at the cute rabbit as more ideas for Tohru filled their mind.
"Well, since that's settled lets get Tohru to bed.I'm sure she is tired and I bet that she will want to go to school tomorrow.." Shigure said as he walked over to mindless Tohru and helped her up.
"Don't you think that she knows what we are going to do for her cause she was in here when we were talking about it?" Haru asked. Uo shook her head and helped Shigure with Tohru.
"Nah...when she is like this...it's like talking to a zombie...she doesn't listen to any thing. I mean if you blow a horn next to her ear... she would be sitting there like nothing had happened but of course she feel the pain the next day." Uo then walked out of the room with Shigure and Tohru. Hana soon followed suit but stopped at the door, and turned around and looked at Yuki.
"Would it be all right if we spent the night here...We want to make sure that Tohru is going to be all right." Yuki nodded his head.
"Sure I will go get the futons set up in her room shortly." Hana Then walked out of the room.
"Yuki I want to stay here with Tohru too! PLEASE?" Momiji hugged onto Yuki's arms and looked up at him as if he was going to cry. Yuki took in a deep breath, It was hard to say no to Momiji. especially when he was close to tears.
"...Sure why not..." Momiji let go of Yuki's arm and began to prance around in the Kitchen "I'm sure you want to stay here to Haru..." Haru nodded his head slowly.
"If that is ok with you and Shigure I would like to stay here cause I'm afraid I'll get lost if I try to go home by myself." Yuki put his hand on his face.
"Yeah whatever Haru..." Yuki then started to walk out of the kitchen but stopped when Haru placed his hand on his shoulder.
"You're going to let me sleep with you...right?" Yuki turned around and glared at Haru.
"You will never give up will you...?" Haru gave Yuki a small smile.
"You know I will never give up." Yuki sighed and pushed away from Haru and walked out of the kitchen closing the door behind him
'That is what I always admire about you Haru...You all ways try to get something that you love while here I am trying to hide that I love Tohru very much.' Yuki then walked to his room and shut the door.

In a dark ally in the bad part of Tokyo. Saioji walked through the dark ally holding a suit case. He stopped when he reached the darkest part of the ally. Saioji put down the suitcase and slide it to a dark figure in a corner.
"I've got a job for you..." Saioji said quietly The darkened figure took the suitcase and opened the suit case and looked at the money that was inside. "That is only half of what you will get if you help me and do your job right..."
A smirk came on to the figure's face.
"Alright...You have my attention... Now what is it that you want me to do?" Saioji smiled as he dug in to his coat pocket and pulled out a white envelope. He set it on the ground and slid it to the Figure.
"I need help breaking someone...I heard you were the best in the business.." Saioji said as he listened to the envelope beginning opened.
"I believe I shall have some fun with one... I am going to need some information...What is this subject's name..?" Saioji smirked and leaned against a wall.
"Her name is ...Tohru Honda..."
