Author's Note: I think this one if quite sad, but now that I know that Akito's a chick, it just kills it. So let's pretend he's a dude for this one, okay? Also, this was a two page comic I did (that for this I extended) when I first started reading Furuba. Enjoy and please R&R:) (Though you might not "enjoy" this one, like I said, it's supposed to be sad).

Story 12: Forgotten

It had been the worst night of their lives. After Tohru had discovered Kyo's true form, she went to see Akito—alone. She didn't come back home that night, or the next. And when she finally did get back to school, it didn't make Yuki or Kyo feel any calmer. All day, Tohru sat through her classes as normal, took notes, and talked with Hana and Uo. But never did she once even look at the two boys. She didn't talk to them, or even say hello. Though, the Yuki fan club girls seemed very excited about this, Yuki himself found that he couldn't pay attention in class. He just kept staring, staring at the love of his life. It was the same for Kyo, even though that's what he did every day—he just stares at Miss Honda, admiring her from afar. When the bell rang, and school was over, Kyo and Yuki cornered Tohru outside.

"Just where the hell have you been?" demanded Kyo.

"Pay no mind to him," said Yuki kindly, "but please, where did you go for the past couple of days?" Tohru just stared at them, cheeks flushed a little. "Miss Honda?"

"Hey," started Kyo softly. "If it was something I said, then you know I was just—"

"Who are you?" she asked, interrupting Kyo. They gazed back at her, wide eyed and speechless. "Just who on earth are you two, and why are you asking me all these questions?"

Tears stung at the corners of Yuki's eyes as he tried to speak without his voice cracking. "Miss Honda, you're joking, right? It's us!" As he reached out his hand to take hers, she slapped it away.

"Keep away from me!" she shouted, backing away from him.

"Miss Honda!"

"Eek!" squeaked Tohru as she bumped into someone behind her; it was Akito.

"Ah… Tohru-chan," he said, smiling at her, "nice to see you."

"Oh! Akito-kun! Uh, um…N-nice to see you too!" said stuttered, blushing a little.

"Would you like to go out today, or do you have to work now?"

"No, I'm free—I'd love to!"

Kyo couldn't stand it anymore. He stormed up to Akito, took hold of his collar, and yelled "What the hell did you do to her, you bastard?"

Akito chuckled within Kyo's grasp and raised his icy gaze to look deep into his eyes. He grinned evilly and whispered "What do you think?" Kyo's hand went limp and he released Akito. Both Kyo's and Yuki's blood ran cold. All the fears that they had had from the moment that Tohru decided to live with them…and they hadn't done a thing to protect her. "Coming, Tohru-chan?" asked Akito, turning back to the girl. She giggled as she dashed over to him and took his hand. And as the two walked away, the two other boys stood still, letting their tears fall. They had no one to blame but themselves. And that's when they knew…that their sweet little flower…was never coming home…

"…Hiro…" started Yuki, turning to the sheep who had just finished his story. "That was low—even for you."

"Oh come on, are all teenagers this stupid, or is it just you? We're telling stories, they're nothing more than fabrications—lies. Or didn't you know that?"

"You little punk!" shouted Kyo, pouncing at the younger boy. "Tohru are you—"

"Zzz…" she was asleep.

"You're a very lucky brat, if Tohru had heard any of that, I'd—"

"You'd what? If you beat me up, I could turn you into the police for child abuse." Kyo growled at him, waving his fist, but inevitably let him go. "How was that, Kisa?" asked Hiro, smiling over at the tiger.

"That was awful, Hiro-kun. Why would you do that to Kyo and Yuki?"

"Well I, uh…!" he cleared his throat. "Why don't you tell the next story, Kisa?"

"Oh, uh…sure." She dug around her small purse, looking for something. When she found what she wanted, she pulled out and unfolded a piece of paper, showing it to the others. On it was an adorable picture of chibi Haru, Kyo, Shigure, Hatori, Yuki, and Momiji. "My story is based off this little doodle I did. It's called 'Mew Mew Boys'!" shouted Kisa happily. Oh dear…
