Akito came over to them all staggering. His ankle was sprained as was his wrist, but other than that and a few bruises he was in good health considering what he went through. "You all…You all think your free, but your not. I am still your God." Akito said near losing it. His voice was shaky.

"Akito," Kyo began as he walked toward him.
"NO! Get back from me you monster!"
"You no longer control me, or anyone else."
"Your wrong, I control you! I control everyone! They will all live and die with me!"

Akito became panicked and started to hit Kyo who only dodged his punches.

"It's over Akito! Were all free! YOUR free! Tohru…she lifted the curse."

Yuki and Shigure exchanged a look. Kyo looked back to them, "There's no need to be scared, we're no longer possessed by vengeful spirits. Just by our vengeful hearts."

Akito came at Kyo but stopped and feel into Kyo's arms, defeated, "Your wrong."
"No, you are."

They all left the main house with heavy thoughts. No longer were they under a curse that made them chained to a family that neither cared nor loved. It was the dawn of a new day and a new life for Kyo and the others.

They all arrived home where they were welcomed by Tohru. "Welcome home!" She said happily to them all. Relief was in her eyes as she saw that they were alright. Kyo went over and took her in his arms, embracing her as if he would never get to again. Yuki and Shigure looked at them both and felt a little relieved themselves. No longer were they chained down by an unwanted fate, they could make their destiny theirs. No longer were they controlled by Akito. It was both exciting and frightening.

"So its true…" Haru said as he and the others waited outside school. Yuki had tried to catch up with him all day but only managed to snag him after school had finished. Momiji exhaled a deep breath. "Life is going to be different now that were not cursed." He said. Tohru smiled at him and a few tears trickled down her cheeks. At last Momiji would get to be re-united with his family, with his little sister Momo. He could now hold her and play the violin with her. His dream was going to come true. All the Sohma's lives were going to be better, Tohru hoped.

"Yes," Yuki nodded. Haru gave a small smile, "Well, I might as well check." He said and hugged Tohru who instantly became frazzled at the sudden move by Haru. After a few seconds Haru stepped back. "I guess it is true. A mystery…."

"Are you going to go find Rin?" Yuki asked. Haru shrugged, "She'll come to me when she's ready, I'll always wait for her. She knows that." Every smiled.
"Has anyone spoken to Akito since?" Haru asked. Yuki nodded, "Yes, Shigure told me Hatori went to check on him after we left and he refuses to talk to anyone."
"I bet Hatori is extremely relieved its finally all over. He can finally move away from the main house, he can finally be happy."

They all headed to Shigure's house. Along the way Tohru and Kyo held hands, happy to finally be able to be together. No longer did Kyo need to worry about Akito's wrath, he would never touch Tohru again, never cause her pain. Kyo and Yuki both no longer had to worry about the dark room that brought out the depths of despair.

"Has anyone told Aya?" Haru asked. Tohru answered him , "Yes! Shigure spoke with him this morning. Aya was a little shocked…" Tohru said.
"How about Kisa and Hiro?"

"Yeah the brats know." Kyo said remembered the rude tone in Hiro's voice when they told him.

Flashback

"Sissy….were free?" Kisa asked innocently to Tohru. Tohru smiled and nodded.
Hiro gave a sigh, "Yeah and apparently this woman did it? Yeah right." Hiro said smugly.
"Why you..!" Kyo said and grabbed Hiro by the shirt.
"What, I was only stating my opinion. You have no right to grab me, let me go. This is child abuse I could have you arrested."

End Flashback

They arrived at Shigure's house a little bit later. "Well, what a surprise Haru and Momiji." Shigure says happily. Hatori and Ayame were there to. Everyone sat at the dinning table unsure of what to say. Not long after did Hiro and Kisa show up. Almost all of the members of the Zodiac were present, all that were missing were Ritsu, Rin, Kagura and Kureno. Not longer after everyone sat down did Ritsu and Kagura show up together.

"Rii and Kagura, welcome!" Shigure said. It was very common to see everyone together outside of new years.

"Oh I hope I'm not intruding! Kagura really wanted me to come…" Ritsu said sitting down.

"No not at all!" Tohru said happily. Ritsu became a little less tense.

Shigure cleared his throat, "Is this all just Zodiac intuition that you all came here at the same time?"

Momiji happily replied back, "No, Tohru asked us all to come!"

Tohru became a little uneasy in her seat but Kyo held onto her hand. "Yes, I thought it would be nice if everyone talked." She said. She wanted them all to be together. She felt it was important that they did.

They all sat for a few moments in awkward silence. Hatori finally broke the silence, "I do think it was important that we all got together. Its time we all got together besides new years. What we need to talk about is what we all will do now. The curse an Akito no longer rule our lives."

Everyone was silent by Hatori's words. They all never thought it possible to be free. Someone came in from the front door. "I wonder who it could be…" Shigure said quietly. Kureno opened the door to the dinning room followed by Akito. He looked happy in a mad way. "Hello everyone, good to find you all well. Is it to much to ask for you all to visit me?" Akito asked with a smile. Kyo moved a little closer to Tohru as did Yuki, just in case Akito were to try something.

No one answered him. Akito went over to Shigure and sat by him, at the head of the table. "What? Do you all have nothing to say? Has something left you speechless?" Akito said happily which made everyone move uncomfortably in their seats. "Why Haru, I haven't seen you in a long time. How is your relationship with…Rin? I heard Rin and you broke up, its to bad. Last I heard she was in the hospital, have you gone to see her?"

Haru was frozen in fear, did he do something to Rin? "No he hasn't." someone said from the door. Rin stood there, her hair flowing ominously behind her. "Rin." Haru said and got up.

Akito smiled, "Well, now were one big happy family. Wouldn't you say Tohru?" Akito asked her. Tohru gave a small nod, unsure of what she should say. She could tell Akito, though he was smiling, was in a rather terrible mood.

Haru went over to Rin where he took her in his arms. "Rin…I was so worried about you." he said and didn't let her go. She was a little stiff in his arms at first, then finally relaxed. There was nothing for her to worry about anymore, Akito no longer had control over her or Haru. She could finally be with him and not need to worry about his safety. Haru let go of Rin and instead took her hand, they both went back to the table together. At last all the Sohma were at the dinning table, as it was long ago before the curse had been put on them.

Akito suddenly got up, slamming his fist on the table. "You all think she freed you but she didn't! no one can lift the curse! No one! Not even a stupid girl like her!" Akito yelled and pointed to her. Immediately Kyo and Yuki got up. Tohru pulled lightly on Kyo's shirt. He looked down on her and sat back down, followed by Yuki.

"Isn't is good…to be free?" Tohru sad quietly.
"Like hell its not! What did you think you were doing? Loving the cat! Your going to be punished by this, mark my words! For ruining a legacy!"
"I…I know what I did was….both good and bad but…if it meant giving them a choice in life, I wanted to help give that to them. It didn't matter what happened to me…as long as they…are happy. Everyone has given and done so much for me…I thought, if I could do one thing for them…it might be to brake the curse. Akito, aren't you glad….everyone is here with you now? Isn't it important that you all are together as a family, all equal?" She asked and bowed her head.

Akito stared at her with shaking eyes, eyes with fear. What was this woman thinking? All of his planes were quickly washed away with her words. Akito stood tall, back straight. "Kureno, take me home. I have no further business here." Kureno got up and they both walked to the door.

"Oh miss Honda," Akito said as he began to leave, "Not everything is written in stone. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts." He said to everyone and left. It was silent among the once Zodiac.

"Well, it appears Akito still has something up his sleeved." Shigure said.
"It would appear that way." Hatori said and lit a cigarette.

Kagura looked around the room at everyone present. Their faces mournful and grave as if a terrible thing had just accrued. "Everyone! Why are you all so glum? Were free…were…free." She said unsure as if the words themselves spoken out loud would make them false.

Hello mom,

2 weeks have gone by and still everyone is out of Akito's grasp. I can't remember a time where I saw everyone look so happy and hopeful, they all had a future now. One that they decided for themselves. Kagura has been seen walking around with a boy with light blonde hair, I'm guessing it's her new boyfriend! Kyo was very relieved with this. Yuki has recently been talking to more girls, and become less shy, I'm very happy for him! Haru and Rin are hardly ever seen without each other. Ritsu has been left in charge of the hot spring while his mom and dad were away on a vacation! Hiro and Kisa seem to be happier than they were before, although Hiro still had his sharp tongue. Shigure's life style hadn't changed, he still loves torturing his editor. Hatori has recently and gotten a new assistant! I hear their getting along good! Momiji and Momo are taking violin lessons together! He is so happy! Aya has been doing very good with his business, I heard he sold one to another man recently! Mom, I do wonder what else is going to happen, but what ever happens I know you'll be there for me.

"They think their free, but only give it time…All will be as it should. They will live and die with me. A happy family, never changing always remaining the same. The curse never goes away for long."
