Sorry for the late update. Here is chapter 5!

----------

Tohru was in her room gazing off into space. She wondered what it would be like to see for just one more day. It's funny how you think that stuff like losing your eyesight and losing your ability to walk would never happen to you. Then when it does, it's almost hard to believe it's almost like you're in a dream, but no matter how hard you try you can't wake yourself up.

Just then her cell phone rang. She fumbled around with the buttons before finding the correct one.

"Hello?"

"Is it true? You can't see or walk?" A dark voice said on the other line.

Tohru's blood ran cold. "Yes it is Jake, what can I do for you?" She asked trying to keep the nervousness out of her voice.

"So, you really can't defend yourself now."

"No…" She trailed off as the phone on the other line went dead.

She sighed. She never thought she would hear that voice again…

Flashback

It was Tohru's first year at the high school. The school year was almost over, but a new student had transferred. She was chosen to give a tour of the school with him. His name was Jacob, or Jake. He seemed like a nice enough kid. He was perfect in all the right places and seemed very polite. It still surprised her when he asked her out.

A few months passed of them going out and everyone seemed to approve of Jake at the Sohma home except for Kyo and Yuki's jealousy everything seemed normal.

Then it happened. Jake began sexually harassing her, which soon turned into abuse. He told her that if she told anyone what he was doing to her he'd kill her. And she was smart enough to know that he would do it. So for three years she suffered. About once or twice a week he would even rape her. Now that her accident had occurred she was almost glad at first. Maybe this meant that Jake wouldn't come after her anymore…But she was wrong.

Of course, there was still something that she hadn't told the Sohmas, a major secret that she couldn't bring herself to mention to them.

It had all started with a pregnancy test…

She was drawn out of her thoughts by a knock at the door.

"Tohru, Kisa and Hiro have come to visit you!" Shigure said cheerfully.

"Coming!" Tohru called. She wheeled her self out of the room and began fumbling along the walls until she heard Kisa's voice. She smiled as she entered the living room.

"Hello Kisa.' Tohru said. She felt Kisa embrace her and gave her a hug back.

"Yep, Kisa came to visit you, but I don't think Hiro's too happy about being here." Momiji's voice rang.

'Oh Momiji! I thought you left! I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Hiro has a date with Kisa so he's in a rush."

"Eh?"

"Shut up you stupid rabbit! That's not true at all!" She heard Hiro's voice snap.

"Yeah, but I bet you wish it was true!" Momiji said jokingly.

"Oh shut up! I'm out of here!" Hiro said before storming out of the room. Tohru smiled to herself. At least things hadn't changed.

------------

Tohru sighed as she finally entered her bedroom.

"Hello again." Tohru gasped.

"Jake? What are you doing here?" She hissed.

"I came to see you. You never did give me a straight answer. Are you pregnant or not?"

"Yes, but…"

"It's my kid you know. As soon as it's born it belongs to me. You can't take care of it. I'm guessing this stupid family doesn't even know yet."

"Well no…"

"I rest my case. I'll be waiting for you." He said digging his nails into her arm before she heard him jump from the window.

She panted heavily. 'It's his entire fault. He made me pregnant. If he hadn't raped me this never would've happened.' She thought.

She sighed. It was time that she told somebody. She knew for a fact that this child would be a miracle, seeing that it was still alive. Tohru wheeled over to the door and opened it. Then she realized she'd have to get up the stairs.

She sighed in frustration. She didn't want to ring the bell right now.

She made it to the foot of the stairs and struggled to stand up from the chair. If she could at least drag herself she might be able to make it, then she could just crawl the rest of the way.

As she was struggling to get herself out Shigure came out of his room.

"Tohru? What are you doing?"

She sighed in defeat sinking back down in the wheelchair.

"I need to talk to you about something." She said solemnly.

Shigure made his way down the stairs. "Let's go talk in the living room okay?"

Tohru nodded and followed him.

"So…What's bothering you?"

"You remember Jake right?"

"Of course, you're boyfriend that Kyo and Yuki are completely jealous over! Did you come to me for some love advice?" Shigure asked jokingly.

"Shigure, this is serious…What if I told you he did something REALLY bad to me?"

"It depends on how bad the situation is." Shigure said getting serious.

Tohru felt his eyes on hers. "Um, about a year or so ago, Jake began to sexually abuse me and rape me. I found out about three months ago that I was pregnant…and I'm not sure what to do. I was sort of wondering, if maybe Hatori could somehow find a way of getting my walking back. Possibly my eyesight. I know it's a lot to ask for, but Jake says that he'll raise the baby and I'll have nothing to do with it. I really don't want my kid to grow up with him."

Shigure stared at her for a long time trying to process everything. The fact that the baby survived the accident was a miracle itself. Tohru was very young though, and with her disabilities it wouldn't make it easy to raise a child.

"Well, you could try physical therapy. I'm sure that might help."

"I need to be fully healed before nine months."

"Um…well, I think that might be pushing it just a little."

"I don't really have much of a choice do I? I'm not quitting school either, so when I do have the baby most likely you'd have to take care of it."

Shigure was silent a moment. "I guess this means I'll have to mature a little bit?"

"Try a lot. This is more embarrassing than my singing. I can't have anyone at school knowing."

"You won't be able to hide it for long."

"I can try though." Tohru said.

Shigure looked at her puzzled. "First thing in the morning I'll give Hatori a call."

-------------------

The next morning…

"YOU WANT ME TO GET HER CURED WITHIN NINE MONTHS? HAVE YOU COMPLETELY LOST YOUR MIND? WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM A SUPER DOCTOR? I'M IN ENOUGH PRESSURE AS IT IS OVER AT THE MAIN HOUSE I DON'T NEED THIS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON TOP OF IT!" Hatori thundered as Shigure held the phone away from his ear.

"Can you at least bring back her eyesight?"

"No! The doctors at the hospital said they're damaged permanently they can't be fixed!"

"Could we try it though?"

"Well yes, but she'd have to go through surgery and she'd have to be in a hospital and it's very uncomfortable when you're in a hospital…"

"How soon can we get it done?" Shigure said interrupting Hatori.

"Tomorrow. If she wants to go through with it."

"I think at this point she'll do anything, thanks! We'll see you tomorrow!" Shigure said hanging up the phone.

"WAIT! Shigure! There might be a few problems we could run into…" Hatori trailed off.

'Great. Freakin' great.' He thought to himself.

------------

Once again another lame place to stop. Sorry about that. I know that Tohru would probably tell someone sooner, but we'll just go with her being too terrified to tell anyone. Anyway, please review to find out if Tohru gets her eyesight back!
