This is my second chapter and if any of you think Akito is OOC or anything review me so I can change him. Some of you might wonder what's the title 'Eluke Slia' means. Well I once read a book can't remember its name that said about a mystical tree with purple trunk and silver leaves. What have it got to do with the story? Read and find out. I know that Akito is a girl very shock but I still love him as a guy so I'm sticking with the male version.

Thanks to Dark Resister the only one who bothers to review me. You have no idea how happy I was when I got your review. Thanks a lot I love you. I update this chapter just for you hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket in anyway if I do I'll pair myself up with Akito.

Sohma Sakuya

It was one of those days when the weather was just right. Not too warm and not too cold, birds are singing and light breezes are blowing. In fact it was perfect, but unfortunately someone can't enjoy the warm ray of the sun a have to lie in bed.

That someone was Akito, he was having one of his sickness again. Laying there in his grumpy mood all morning. It was three days already that he had to lie in bed and nobody had visited him. Hatori only come in to give him medicine and check up except for that the seahorse was nowhere to be seen.

He hated it; he hate having to take the medicine, he hate having to lied in bed, he hated everyone and he hate being ignored, once he's back to normal he's going to make them suffer.

'Knock Knock' Akito was jerked out of his thought on how to torture the juuninshi by someone knocking at his door. He rolled his eyes 'bet it's Hatori, why does the time go so fast I remember just taking the medicine' he sign and said an irritate "Come in".

He heard the shoji door slide open but no more movement 'Why isn't he coming in' Akito thought not making any attempt to look at the person. "I'm sorry to interrupt your sleep Akitosama" his eyes snap open. That was not Hatori's voice it was not even a male. Akito turned his head to look at the person at the door and was very surprised.

At the door sit a girl wearing a white kimono with long silver hair 'who is she' "Who are you?" Akito voice his thought

"Oh sorry for my rudeness my name is Sohma Sakuya" she quickly said and bowed 'She's a Sohma? Why I haven't seen her before?'

"Ano I heard that Akitosama is ill so I came to visit" she said softly but loud enough for him to hear. His eyes widen, the juuninshi didn't even give a damn about him but she who he didn't even know was visiting him. He stared at her for a long time until she felt uneasy "I'm-I'm sorry if I interrupt you and make you annoyed in anyway err I'm-I'm leaving" she stammered and was about to close the door when a voice stop her "stop" she freeze "stay" she turn round to find Akito looking at her with his cold eyes. "Hai" she said quietly and enter the room once more. She sit in front of the door away from him until he said "come closer" obediently she crawl closer to his futon but still sit a little away giving him some personal space which he gladly appreciate that even though he didn't do anything to show it.

He studied her carefully making sure not to leave any details out. The girl got long flowing waist length hair which he was sure that it was silver. He narrowed his eyes 'those can't be natural' he thought and carry on his observation. She got soft lavender eyes that he find himself staring into 'beautiful, wait did I just think that' he start shaking his head lightly earning a questioning look from the girl. After mentally slapped himself a couple of times he continue, she got pale skin but not too pale to look ghostly and rosy pink lips. She's wearing a white kimono with a big red butterfly at the bottom corner. Observation complete.

"Ano" she open her mouth to said something but was interrupt with a

"Why" she heard him whisper and look at him "Why do you come" he said more clearly and loudly. "Am I annoying you?" she ask worryingly "Yes if you keep on saying that" he said in a dangerously low voice and narrowed eyes which send shiver down her spine "I'm sorry"

"and that too"

"I'm sor-" her words were cut short when Akito narrowed his eyes more. Not having anything to say she keep quiet. "Now answer my question why do you come?" he asked again sitting up and look right at her and she look right back "I'm a Sohma and you're the head is it so strange that I come to visit you?". Akito was taken aback by the answer, she's right, it isn't strange for someone in the family to come and visit him considering him being the head of the Sohma but with their own will for Akito this was a first.

Silence

The girl not being to stand the quietness anymore decided to start a conversation "How are you feeling Akitosama?" she ask smiling a bit

"Tired" he reply without a second thought still looking at her

"Then maybe I-I should leave so you can r-" she start to say but was interrupt with a "NO" Akito sudden outburst make the girl look at him in wide eyes, realize what he had done he lower his head to look at the futon instead and said quietly "stay". The girl smile but he didn't see it he was too ashamed of himself, he Akito god of the zodiac was now asking a stranger to stay with him.

"Thank you" she said making him look up from his bed to meet with her glowing smile 'did she just say 'thank you'? Why? It should be me who said it but it's not like I'm going to say it anyway' "Can I open the window" she ask he then notice for the first time that her voice calm and melodious it start to make him wonder how wonderful it would be if she sing. He give a slight nod allowing her to do as she want, she give him another smile before getting up.

"The weather is beautiful today and I want Akitosama to see it" she said then open the window. Warm wind hit Akito right in the face proving what she just said. The sun warm ray light up the dark room, inhaling the fresh air Akito find himself getting calm. "It's the start of spring and it would be a shame not to take a look at it" she said look back at him. The wind play with her hair making it flow back gracefully and the sun shine on her face make her lavender eyes sparkle. She then noticed something outside the window and reach out to get it.

She walk back to sit by his bed and open her hands to reveal a fully bloom cherry blossom. "It's not the time for sakura to bloom yet but this one was blooming beautifully one the tree outside the window. It must be a gift" at the word 'gift' Akito shift his eyes from the flower to her face "from the tree for you" she continue and place the flower in his opened hands "it must know that you're sick and decide to cheer you up" she smile brightly. 'Stupid, how can a tree have that kind of feeling' despite his thought he found himself paying attention to her every words. Light breezes blew into the room from time to time and Akito notice how the light reflect of her hair and decide to ask about it "your hair" he state simply "oh my hair?" she know what he's talking about right away "my grandfather was a snake in the zodiac and I inherit this colour from him"

"Your grandfather was the snake?"

"Hai"

"So I suppose you know about the curse"

"Hai"

They talked for a while, actually it was only Sakuya talking and Akito listen but he join in sometime with a word or two. The sun begins to set casting a shadow on the two people. "Gomenasai Akitosama but I need to go now my mom don't allow me outside after six" she said with a worried face "don't worry, go" he reassure he and nod 'why do I have to worry that she's worried or not, what's happening to me?' he thought. Just as she was about to go out the door she remembered something "I wish that you will get healthy soon Akitosama" she said with a bright smile "What used is there to get well" he lower his head "after I get well I'll be sick again"

"then I'll come and visit you every time" Akito look up quickly

"I-I mean if Akitosama do-don't mind"

He lowerd his head again "tomorrow" he said quietly

"I-I'm sorry if my presence here annoyed you to-tomorrow I-I won't" she stammered

"I'll wait" again Akito cut her sentence shot with his simple words. The girl smile her widest smile before asking "Akitosama when do you have lunch?" Akito lift his head up to look at her "Why?"

"just asking"

"12:30"

"do you like sweets"

Akito think for a moment and said "I don't mind a little"

"Between chocolate and strawberry what would you choose?" now Akito was looking at her weirdly 'why is she asking me these questions?' "Whatever I don't care" he reply simply. She smiled "see you tomorrow" she bowed and closed the door. He let out a sign then the door open again and she pop her head back "Thank you very much Akitosama" "for what?" he ask curiously "everything see you tomorrow" then the door closed again. Akito stared at the shoji door for a while before plopping back on to the futon 'weird' he thought and drifted of to sleep.
