Ah yes, Chapter 5.
I'm going to put the love scene for Kyo and Tohru in chapter 6. I promise! And a promise is, of course, a promise!
I feel like the hard work on Sakura Garnet paid off. A lot of people seem to like her. Also, JewelStarBeauty has made a Fruits Basket fic, Fruits Basket Paradise Or Is It (she wanted to include Sakura too, and she has my total permission) and it's going to be great. Believe me, that girl has a great sense of humor. She also accepts anonymous reviewers, so go check it out! The couplings for her story is KaguraXKyo and YukiXSakura. Also, if you can plz review her fic! That would be SOOO nice!
A few people have asked me why I named her Sakura. I named her Sakura because Sakura means cherry blossom in japanese (at least I think so). I like cherry blossoms.
I found out that book # 11 for Fruits Basket is coming out in August. . . . .30th. And then they make it sound like it's coming in the middle of August, and now they tell me it's coming out on the semi last day. They better hope they're not lying, trying to test my nerves, or else I'll beat them to a bloody pulp. . . . .TT
Anyways, time to answer the reviews! -.-
JewelStarBeauty: You know, when you gave me Mac&Cheese in the review, my mom actually made Mac&Cheese for dinner. XD
Unchained3011: Yes Akito is. . .very nasty. Worse than Shigure (well, at least in this case).
Kes evenstar: I felt the same way about Yuki, so I sat down and wracked my brain to make an OC. I didn't make Sakura out of my the tip of head in a split second; I sat down and drew her. XD Well, if you love KyoXTohru, then you'll love this chappy! .
CuteAquaticQueen: Thank you for understanding. I'm just not a lemon person. T.T Well, I hope you enjoy this fic to the fullest! .
JewelStarBeauty: You know, when you gave me Mac&Cheese in the review, my mom actually made Mac&Cheese for dinner. XD
Singingstarqt: KyoXTohru mistress at your service! salutes XD Next chappy, kay?
Daydreamer: LOL Tohru was never a favorite character of mine, but I guess she's nice. Although I must say that I love Kisa! She's so cute . And I also like Yuki too. And even though Momiji's cute (in an adorable kind of way) he's very hyperactive. . . . .TT
MIRZA: I just found out how to enable anonymous reviews, and so I hope I relieved your anxiety.
BbyFlipghurl: I am glad you think my story is cute! .
Kyo Lover: I'm glad you like Sakura. And Don't worry, the next chapter will have some KyoXTohru
Rain Spirit: Okay, thank you very much for reviewing. I totally appreciate your commentary and critical advice. It means a lot to me when a reader takes time to give me a few points. Thanks a lot. What I didn't get is when you said, "Also Tohru wouldn't say anything about her being happy that Yuki's gone..." So I read Chapter 4 again I understood. I had written, ""It's nothing, it's just that. . . .I'm kinda glad that Yuki's gone." Tohru giggled, getting a rare smiled from Kyo as a reward." What I had planned to write down was ""It's nothing, it's just that I'm kinda glad that Yuki's gone." said Kyo. Tohru giggled, getting a rare smile from Kyo." Sorry of I confused you. I shall immediatly edit! salutes Okay, done.

Alright then! Time to continue with Chapter 5 of Devastating Love! (-.-) Look, I made a cute lil bunny all by myself! I feel so proud! XD
The sunlight poured into the room as Yuki quietly got up from his bed. He looked over at Sakura at the other side of his bed. She was sound asleep, snuggled up in her pillow and curled up in a ball to make herself warmer. Yuki leaned over to get a look at her face. A few pink strands of her hair irritated her nose, causing a cute little sneeze to emit. Yuki chuckled. He pulled out those few strands to prevent Sakura from sneezing again.
"Your a very pretty girl. . . ." whispered Yuki, looking gently over his fiance. Even though Yuki was devastated at the fact that Tohru was nowhere within his reach, he began not to mind at all being with Sakura. She was very tender, sweet, gentle.
Then he thought about Kyo. . .
Yuki knew Kyo liked Tohru. And now, Kyo can have Tohru. . . .now Tohru is fully within his reach.
Yuki shuddered, and silently began to cry. It wasn't fair. That stupid cat could have the love of his life.
'That damn bastard can have her! That stupid cat! It's not fair! I hate Akito! That damn Akito! It's all HIS fault! I swear, I'll slit his throat and. . .and. . . . .' Yuki dug his face into his pillow, trying to relief himself of his sorrow.
Yuki heard a few rustling next to him. He immediatly sat up and wiped his face with his shirt, not wanting to cause an interrogation with Sakura. He looked over his shoulder, and saw Sakura sitting up.
"Good morning, Sakura-San." whispered Yuki, rubbing his eyes.
"Morning, Yuki-Kun." replied Sakura in a whisper. Yuki heard the mattress lift up as Sakura got up. When he felt his face was dry enough, he turned to look at her.
"Are you feeling okay, Sakura-San?" asked Yuki when he saw how drowzy Sakura looked.
"Yes, just a bit tired is all." replied Sakura. She went into her suitcase, grabbed a few articles of clothing, and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind her.
The door swung open to reveal Akito with a mischievous grin.
"Good morning, my lovely couple!" exclaimed Akito cheerfully. He looked at the bed and then frowned.
"Why, where's the cherry blossom?" asked Akito.
"She's getting dressed in the bathroom. . . ." grumbled Yuki in disgust.
"Why? Was she naked?" replied Akito with a grin. Yuki blushed and looked away.
"I'm only kidding around my dear Yuki! At least, I hope I am!" This Akito said with a raised eyebrow, "Allow me the check on her!" Yuki's eyes widened as Akito swung the door open. Sakura was standing there in only black jeans and a bra.
"Ack! Akito!" yelped Sakura, covering her chest with the black, pink buttoned tank top she was about to put on. Seeing that Akito wouldn't close the door, she hastily and sloppily put the tank top on. Akito was laughing.
He walked over to Yuki and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry. She has a very nice body. I know; I saw it myself." chuckling at his remarks, he left the room and closed the door, not locking it this time.
Sakura walked out of the bathroom, her face very scarlet. She shyly smiled, trying in vain to brighten up the mood.
"I'm sorry Sakura-San." said Yuki, "Even though no one probably ever told you, Akito is very cruel. You need to be very careful around him. I'm surprised Shigure didn't tell you."
"You shouldn't be sorry for Akito's actions." replied Sakura, sitting next to Yuki on the mattress, "I never thought Akito would be an easy-goer anyway, because when I recieved the news about our staying here, I felt an aura of terror emitting from around. . . ." Yuki nodded. He grabbed his school uniform from his suitcase and went to the bathroom to change.
School started in an hour.
Meanwhile, back at Shigure's. . . . .
Kyo and Tohru were eating breakfast. Beef stew, pork, dumplings, onigiri, and cupcakes that Sakura had taught Tohru how to bake. Kyo was eating some of everything, eating hastily and hungrily, being that he hadn't eaten the previous night.
"Kyo, are you okay? You seem very hungry. . ." said Tohru, gawking at Kyo who ate like he had never seen food before.
"I'm just. . . .weally. . . .hungwy. . . .fecause. . . . I gidn't. . . . .feat last nigh. . . ." grumbled Kyo with a mouthful of pork.
"As I can see. . . ." giggled Tohru. She continued to eat her breakfast in her dainty ways. Tohru wanted to make a good impression for Kyo. She wanted Kyo, to like her, and to want her, and to. . . .
Tohru began to turn scarlet as she realized her thoughts. She hid her face in her arms, trying to hid her embarrassed face. Kyo noticed.
"Umm. . . .what is it now?" asked Kyo.
"N-N-Nothing! J-Just a humble headache is all!" yelled Tohru nervously in reply.
Kyo raised an eyebrow, "And how can headaches be humble?"
"I-I just feel like. . . .like you don't like my breakfast!" Tohru blurted out. She blushed even more, thinking of her ridiculous lie.
"Are you kidding me?" excliamed Kyo, wiping his lips with his arm, "This is some good crap!" Tohru was a bit shocked at Kyo's sudden response. Well, he was hungry. . . .
"Kyo-Kun, school is going to start." started Tohru, trying to change the subject, "I think we should get going. If you can please, just, sort of, well. . . ."
". . . .hurry up? Sure." replied Kyo, taking another dumpling and popping it in his mouth whole. Tohru shyly smiled and walked out the door, awaiting Kyo's arrival from the dining room.
Later, after school dismissal. . . . .
"Minami!" yelled Motoko, awaiting her friend's arrival from the school, "Mio! Both of you! Get over here!"
"Yes, Motoko-San?" replied Minami, Mio following close behind.
"Did you not know? Yuki and Sakura walked to school together!" excliamed Motoko in disgust.
"We have to get rid of her. . . ." grumbled Mio under her breath.
"And I know just the way, which is what I'm calling you gals for! I have an incredible plan!" said Motoko. She then huddled up between them and told them her "incredible plan", all the while earning giggles from her teammates.
"Great! So then I'll go and write-"
"NO! Don't say anything yet! We can't allow anyone to find out! Let's go to my house and have a "study session"!" Replied Motoko, cutting off what Minami was about to say.
"Yes! Let's!" replied Minami and Mio in unison. They hastily walked away as to not attract attention from teachers.
"Wait." said Mio.
"What Mio? We have to get to Motoko-San's house!" excliamed Minami in a whisper.
"But Yuki-Kun didn't come out yet!" replied Mio. Motoko and Minami nodded and hid in some thick evergreens to wait for Yuki. A few minutes had gone by when Yuki finally walked out. . . . .
. . . . .with Sakura by his side.
"Uggghh. . . .look, he's like falling for that bitch! And she's still not wearing the school uniform. . ." said Minami. Motoko shushed her, wanting to see what was going on. Yuki and Sakura had walked closer to the bush where the MMMs were hiding, listening intently.
"Sakura-San. . . .we still have to go back to the main house, where Akito-San's waiting for us. Before we left for school, he said something about wanting us to get there right away." said Yuki.
"O-Okay." replied Sakura, a slight look of fear in her eyes, "He's quite something, isn't he, Yuki-Kun."
"Yes. I'm so sorry about this morning when, well you know, when you were getting dressed and-"
Sakura rest her forehead on Yuki's shoulder, "Don't be. It's okay, we're together in this. Right?"
"Y-Yes. Together." Yuki and Sakura walked off to their destination.
"What?" exclaimed Motoko, "If Sakura was getting dressed at Yuki's house than that means. . . . . . . . . . she slept at Yuki's house!"
"That's it! That witch has gone to far!" said Minami, "We have to start your incredible plan immediatly, Motoko-San! Whatever it takes, we demand action!"
"Yes! Let's go now!" said Motoko. And with that, they all hastily rushed in the direction to Motoko's home.
Once Yuki and Sakura arrived at the main house. . . . .
Sakura and Yuki timidly entered the Sohma estate, looking around for the presence of Akito. They stood there for a while, until Yuki suggested that they go in their room and do their homework as they waited for Akito.
"Sensei said page 425, correct?" said Sakura, looking for where she wrote down that night's assignment.
"No, 435, numbers eight through 11." replied Yuki.
"Okay." said Sakura, as she immediatly started her work. She then abrubtedly stopped.
Figure out each question if a20 and f7. Show your work and explain your answers.
8. What is a-12 + b if b 7. (this one Sakura got pretty easily)
9. If c d-f, and d a-2, what it c? (Uh-Oh. . . . . .Sakura's stuck O)
"Yuki-Kun?"
"Yes, Sakura-San?"
"Can you help me with number 9? I'm a bit confused." asked Sakure nervously.
"Sure! Now let's see. . . .'If cd-f, and da-2, what is c. . . .?' Okay, now we know that da-2, and that a20. Sooo. . . ." Yuki paused, waiting for Sakura to answer.
"Then d would equal 18!" answered Sakura cheerfully, writing it down to remember.
"Okay, so then 18-7. . . . ." Yuki paused again.
"That would be 11! So then c11!" said Sakura, writing it down. After a few moments Yuki noticed she began to blush.
"Umm, Sakura-San? Is there something wrong?"
"No, it's just that. . . .I just noticed how simple this question really is!" replied Sakura, smiling. Yuki couldn't help but smile back.
"Yes, it is quite confusing, mixing letters and numbers for variables and stuff. But you get used to it after a while."
"Ah yes, how adorable!" boomed a voice from behind. Yuki And Sakura perked up to see none other than Akito.
"A-Akito-San!" exclaimed Sakura in shock.
"Yes! Yes my dear cherry blossom and my dearest Yuki, I see you two go together perfectly! What a wonderful bride you make for Yuki-Kun!" exclaimed Akito. He entered the room at sat on the mattress, still eying Sakura's features, "Anyways, I'll let you two complete your school chores. A maid will come here later to announce dinner! In the mean time, keep yourselves together! Get to know each other better! But don't do anything naughty!" Chuckling, Akito left the bedroom and locked it.
"Well then, I guess we'll continue, right?" suggested Sakura. Yuki, still shaking from the shock of seeing Akito so suddenly, nodded and they went on with their homework.
Later on, once Akito had called Yuki and Sakura for dinner. . . . .
"Make yourselves at home!" greeted Akito as Yuki and Sakura entered the dining room, "I don't know what you like, so I told the cooks to make just about everything!" Akito pointed at the two seats Yuki and Sakura were to sit, which was across from where Akito was seated. Akito served himself some food and began to eat. Yuki then began to serve Sakura some food, and then he served himself.
"Is it not delicious?" said Akito.
"Well, yes, it is quite delightful." Sakura replied dully. Akito didn't care. He was hungry, so he kept at his plate.
Sakura and Yuki were hungry, they knew they were. But they felt very tense and nervous, which seemed to tug away the feeling of wanting food. So they ate in monotone, an eerie silence blanketed them as they ate their meal. Akito had already served himself some more rice at least five times. He was getting bored.
"So, what were you two doing in there?" asked Akito, "Nothing naughty, riiight?" Akito chuckled. Sakura blushed and stared down at her plate.
"We were just doing homework and. . . .a little bit of studying." replied Yuki hoarsely, still shocked from Akito's previous comment
"Okay. Anything else?" asked Akito with a raised eyebrow.
"N-No. J-Just s-school, errm, things." stuttered Sakura, also shocked from Akito's previous comment.
"Really? Then why so nervous? So tense? What's the reason to stutter? You're not, hiding anything from your dear Akito-San, are you? Are you by any chance taking lessons about sex in school? Is that the secret you're hiding?"
"N-No! Not at all Akito-San! Never!" exclaimed Sakura. Her chest began to get tight.
"Good!" replied Akito, wiping his hands with a nearly forgotten napkin. "Oh, Sakura! I need to talk to you!"
"Oh, umm, sure Akito-San!" replied Sakura. Akito got up and escorted Sakura to the back of the house toward the entrance to the garden. Yuki looked at Sakura and Akito, walking out, sadly.
'Akito might do something. . . .' thought Yuki nervously.
Akito walked Sakura out into the garden. She gasped. It was very big and. . . .abundant with beauty.
"It's a beautiful garden, Akito-San!" exclaimed Sakura, trying to make herself as comfortable as she could.
"Yes it is. . . ." Akito walked behind Sakura and gripped her hips, "But not as beautiful as you." Sakura's face turned scarlet.
"Umm, Akito, I. . . . " Sakura's words were stopped when Akito forcefully placed his lips on hers. Sakura's eyes widened. Akito maneuvered her so that her chest was facing his. He let his lips go off.
"Has Yuki ever told you, how beautiful you are?" Akito hissed in her ear. She shuddered.
"Akito-San, please, let me go, I-" Akito once again forced his lips on hers. Sakura couldn't release her body from Akito. She was weak from shock, and Akito's strong grip held her stiff. Then, gripping Sakura's waist with one hand, he began to unbutton her tank top with the other. Sakura began to squirm.
"Stand still!" yelled Akito, frustrated. Sakura began to silently cry. Akito eventually removed her tank, tossing it to the ground, leaving her, once agan, in only jeans, and a bra.
"Akito-San! Stop it!" yelled Sakura tears beginning to stream. Akito disdn't listen, as he began to trail kisses down her neck. Sakura could no longer see anything. It was dark, and she felt heavy.
"I like your skin. . . ." mumbled Akito.
"STOP IT!" cried Sakura, "YUKI!" Akito raised an eyebrow. Yuki? She wanted Yuki to help her? She was insane! Yuki's afraid of Akito. . . .
The door leading to the garden slammed open, revealing Yuki at the doorway. He saw what Akito was doing, every ounce of it. But Yuki felt stiff. Akito noticed and grinned. He shoved Sakura in Yuki's direction. She stumbled and fell at his feet. Yuki bent down to help her.
"She's useless, Yuki. Just like you. She's perfect for you." growled Akito in disgust, "You two can leave tomorrow morning." He then walk back inside.
"Sakura-San, are you okay?" asked Yuki. Sakura got up and ran off into the garden. Yuki ran after her, despite the fact that it was now so dark he could barely see anything.
"Sakura-San! Wait, I-" Yuki stopped when he saw the last remains of her clothes on the ground. He picked them up, bundled them under his arm and then continued to run in her direction.
But all of a sudden he had a very bad headache. . . . .
Yuki tried to ignore it and kept on running through the forest, looking for Sakura. But the farther he went, the worse his headache got. 'I can't understand. . . . .I feel so, upset, devastated, irritated, but for what?' Yuki eventually collapsed. A whole wave of emotions flooded his head.
"Ack!" he yelled, frustrated. Why did he feel so sad and. . . . .He couldn't put his finger on it. He began to crawl. Struggling, trying to shake off the unwanted emotions, trying to decifer everything that was going on. As he kept crawling, the bundle of clothes still under his arm, he hesitantly looked up as he rammed into an odd moss covered boulder.
There, lying on top of it was a. . . .was a. . . . .what was it?
It had sleek black fur from the tip of its round snout to the tip of its tail, well to all six of it's tails. Except for a little pink at the tips. It had long black ears, also with pink tips. It's bright pink eyes seemed to light up it's surroundings. It had very big, pink wings, which lighted up the surroundings even more. It looked majestic and brilliant.
Yuki knew. . . .
. . . .that amazing creature. . . .
. . . .with brialliant beauty and majesty. . . .
. . . . was indeed. . . . .
"S-S-Sakura-. . . . .San?" Yuki reached out for the creature. He touched it's forehead. But when he touched, his feelings, his headache went nearly overload. The creature backed away.
"Don't come closer." It whispered. Yuki knew immedaitly that it was Sakura. Is this the creature she turns into?
"Sakura-San. . . . .is that. . . .you?" whispered Yuki, cautiously crawling forward, leaning his chest over the moss covered boulder and hesitantly approaching, "If it is, then. . . . . .what have you. . . . .turned into?"
"Go. . . .I don't want you to get hurt. . . .if you get any closer to me, you could. . . . ." Sakura darted off into the forest. Yuki felt too weak, so for a while he rest there on the rock. Except, after a while, he felt rejuvanated. Clutching the bundle of clothes, he ran off in Sakura's direction. He began to realize that he was getting closer, because his headache was coming back. 'Ignore it! Ignore ignore ignore. I've got to get Sakura back to the main house. . . .what if she gets hurt. . .' Fellings of worry began to erase his headache somewhat. He kept running, until he abrubtedly tripped over a log.
Shaking his head, he kept running. Until, once again, he felt that headache pounding his head. He felt like he was about to burst. . . . .
"I said to stay away from me!" hissed a voice. Yuki saw bright pink eyes beneath him. He immediatly grapped Sakura. She scratched at the ground, trying to grab something to get out of Yuki's grip. His headache was pounding like a drum. He collapsed onto the ground, Sakura still in his arms. The headache eventually wore off. Sakura curled up and rested on Yuki's rising and falling chest.
"I win." Yuki whispered as her picked up the bundle of clothes and Sakura and carried them into the main house again.
About half an hour later, Sakura had eventually transformed back into her original form. Akito had once again locked up Yuki and Sakura in the same room, and Sakura was just exitting the bathroom after changing into some sleeping clothes.
"Are you feeling okay, Sakura-San?" asked Yuki as Sakura exitted the bathroom.
"Yes, I'm fine Yuki-Kun." replied sakura sweetly, fiddling with the white sleeveless shirt she was wearing to sleep.
"Sakura-San." started Yuki, "I don't mean to disturb you but. . . .what is it you transformed into. That is, only if you feel comfortable discussing it. I mean if you don't, I-"
"Whenever. . . " started sakura, "Whenever I feel. . . .an enormous flood of horrible emotions. . . . .rage, sorrow, devastation. . . . .I tranform into this. . . . .terrible creature. . . . .and when you get near me. . . . .you feel the storming emotions I do. . . . .and there was a time when. . . .someone got to close. . . . .and they had eventually. . . .after three nights. . . . .died of depression. . . .you see, Yuki. . . ." Sakura sat on the bed next to Yuki, ". . . .if anyone comes near me when I am in that form. . . . .there is a risk that. . . . .they will feel that same way. . . . for the rest of their lives. . . .until they die." Yuki saw a tear began to well up, "This kind of emotion. . . .cannot be erased as easily by memory suppression. . . . ." Sakura wiped her wet eyes slightly, "That's why I didn't want you near me. . . .while I was in that form."
Yuki was shocked by Sakura's explanation, and her own reaction. He felt so sorry for her. . . .to think, that she had to live her life, knowing that she has the power to accidentally kill someone? And that at one time it actually occurred?
Overpowered by sympathy, Yuki clutched Sakura and hugged her closely. Of course he didn't transform, because Sakura was something also. Sakura sank into his grasp, leaning into him and inhaling the scent on his sleeping t-shirt. Yuki gently lifted her chin so that her eyes met his. They both, in unison, gently closed the gap between them, clutching each other in their arms.
Eventually they let go. Yuki shut off the lamp and they both climbed into bed. Except this time, they were together. Sakura's back was facing Yuki's chest, and Yuki had his arms around her slender waist. Yuki looked at his fiance. He tugged a few pink strands of her hair behind her ear. . . .
. . . . .only to let it slip back again.
Ahhh. . .finally! I have finished! I hope you enjoy chappy 5 to the fullest, because I am so beat. And I'm immediatly starting chapter 6! But before that. . . . .I want some food. XD That cute little bunny I made last week is now all but a distant memory. . . . .XD
Also, the math problems I know were like corny material. But I stink at math so I couldn't think of anything else, and also the corny kising scene. T.T
