Disclaimer: Of course I do not own Fruits Basket: I am not creative enough. .;; Anyway, if all goes as I planned, this will be the next to last chapter for this book. The 2nd book, 'Obscured Visions' should be the last half of this story. If you are enjoying this fic, please tell me! R+R!

Foreword: OMG! IM SOOO SORRY! Im going to update twice to make up for it!

"Yuki?" Shigure whispered, "Look."

The rat, after a confused moment, managed to figure out what his older cousin was attempting to show him. In a move so fast, Shigure couldn't even follow, Yuki had grasped the girl's wrist, and uncovered a bracelet she wore.

"Where did you get this?" Yuki asked, shaking her wrist, making the black and white beads on the bracelet click together. "Where?"

"It's mine." She shook her hand free, "Now get away from me."

With a move of his own, the dog threw back her hood. For a second, it was as if he was looking at Kyo. Her eyes were the same red, and her hair... It seemed she had tried to conceal her orange-hair with a black dye. It hadn't worked.

"Who are you?" Yuki asked, startled.

Tohru hesitantly knocked on Hatori's door. The dragon blinked at seeing her on his doorstep, but instantly invited her in. Taking her coat, the zodiac member motioned toward a couch.

"What brings you here, Tohru?"

"I...Wanted to talk about Akito."

'My name is Kela." She muttered, pulling her hood up again.

"I am Yuki Sohma, and that idiot," He motioned to Shigure, who was staring at Kela like he had never seen a girl before in his life. "Is Shigure Sohma."

"Sohma?" Her voice shook, "Are you, I mean... Cursed?" She whispered the last word as if even that word alone brought about nightmares.

Shigure was startled out of his dream as her words hit home. "How do you know?"

Kela backed up, her fingers twirling the bracelet. "That, witch, she told me I am a Sohma... Plus, I'm cursed as well."

"I take it you are referring to Queen Dianna?" Yuki asked dryly, "This makes no sense. What animal are you then?"

Kela's head dropped, "I am the cat."

"Akito?" Hatori muttered, "Why?"

"Well," Tohru sat on the edge of the couch, twisting her skirt in her hands. "He came to my house last night."

"What!" Hatori who had been ready to sit down; jumped up. "He couldn't have been. He was under sedatives."

"He was there, Hatori. I swear it."

Hatori saw the fear in her eyes and that, above all else, gave him reason to believe her. Sitting down next to her, he gave her a small smile.

"What did he do?"

Tohru shook her head, "Nothing much. He just talked to me...But, Hatori, something he said- It scared me."

"What?" The dragon wished Shigure was here. "What did he say?"

The young girl leaned back, unable to meet the doctors gaze. "He's...not a Sohma. Kyo is...the head of your family. That was the reason he was captured, Akito knew the whole time. He also says when Shigure and Yuki return, he's going to kill them all. He also said he was going to kill me and anyone else who knew the truth."

Hatori sat back, not a Sohma? How could that be? Doesn't matter- He will not get Tohru. I won't let him!

"Cat?" Yuki's jaw dropped, "But, Kyo..."

Kela looked at the rat curiously, "Kyo? Does he...look like me?"

Shigure nodded, "Really, the resemblance is striking, really. Though your eyes are more crimson; like roses swaying in the breeze-"

Yuki bashed his cousin in the head, "Why do you ask? Have you seen him?"

"Just this morning." Kela said slowly, "Before I got out. They were carrying him to see Dianna. He looked hurt."

Yuki sighed, at least he wasn't dead. That took care of what he had been worried about.

"Where?" Shigure asked, "Can you take us there?"

Kela looked longingly at the was she was headed, then back at the cavern. "Yes, I will." She started, her pace quick. "Hurry. If they put him through what they put me through... He may not be alive."

They entered the cave without much trouble, and down to the cell where Kela said the cat had been in. He had been there, Yuki and Shigure were certain; fueled by the fact Kyo's jacket lay in the corner.

Suddenly the dog keeled over with a sharp howl of pain. Yuki and Kela started at him in astonishment as he fell to his knees, his arms held to his chest.

"Darn it!" He whispered fiercely, "Why now? Hatori! Why couldn't he warn me?"

Yuki, recovering from his shock, knelt down to be more of an even level with his elder cousin. "Is it the wound?" He asked quietly, "Should we go back?"

With a glare, Shigure gave the rat his answer. "We came this far, we're not leaving without Kyo-"

"Shhh!" Kela growled, yanking them both out of the cell and into the next one. When Yuki opened his mouth to ask why, she shook her head furiously.

Suddenly there was the sound of booted feet outside the cells. The rat was impressed. Obviously she had the cat's hearing. After a round of loud swearing the door to Kyo's cell clanged shut and the feet moved away.

"Come on." She looked over at Shigure. "Are you alright? Do you want to stay here?"

"I'll be fine." He started forward, only to fall to his knees.

Yuki shook his head, "No, Shigure. You can't stay here." He closed his eyes wearily. "Kela, can you take him back to the cave? You two stay there. I'll get Kyo and meet you."

Shigure tried to protest, but frankly, there was no anger behind it and soon both he and Kela were out of the young man's sight and hearing.

"Alright Kyo." He said to himself, "Let's get you out of here."

Moving like a shadow, he managed to get into the cat's cell, and found him rolled into a corner. Yuki's eyes took in the pitiful form of the cursed cat, before falling to his knees by his body. "Kyo?"

The cat stirred, his eyes opening. "Yuki is that you?"

The rat sighed, at least he was alive.

"Yuki?" Kyo's voice rose, "Yuki? Is that you?"

The rat blinked in confusion. His eyes were opened and there was enough light to see by. What was wrong with him? With a sharp intake of breath, Yuki bent down to look his former enemy in the eyes.

"My God." He breathed.

Kyo was blind.

Shigure was at least breathing easier when Yuki appeared, helping a hunched figure walk. Kela jumped to her feet, and ran forward to meet her brother she had never seen. Shigure followed slowly.

"Wait Kela." Yuki said, subdued. "There's something you two need to know."

Shigure heard the odd note in his younger cousin's voice and looked at Kyo sharply. It didn't take him long to notice the milky white cover over those bright red eyes.

"He's blind?"

"Yes." It wasn't Yuki who answered, but the zodiac cat. "I am. Is that you Shigure?"

"Yes."

Kela recoiled slightly. Neither zodiac members could even begin to guess what was going through her mind. To realize her brother would never get to see her. How horrible.

"Who else is there?"

Kela's eyes began to water. "I'm Kela...I'm your sister."
