As the sun shinned through the pink curtains of Tohru's room, the three sleeping girls woke from their peaceful dreams. "I wonder if Kagura-nee told Yuki-kun about her crush on him." Kisa said as her brain started to wake up. "There's no need to ponder about that right now, Kisa it's still morning and..." Rin never finished her sentence for she fell back to sleep. "Rin-Chan's right we should go back to sleep" and with that Tohru fell back into a deep sleep. Having nothing else to do Kisa closed her eyes and was soon backing dreamland.
A little while later Tohru couldn't sleep anymore and quietly got out of her sleeping bag and tiptoed downstairs to start cooking breakfast. As the meal simmered in the pans, Tohru sat at the Kitchen table, reading a good book. At the sound of her timer going off, Tohru quickly took the food off the stove and on to 5 big plates for everyone. "Shigure-San, Kyo-kun, Kisa-Chan, Rin-Chan breakfast is ready" Tohru said, loudly enough to be heard, but not in a sense screaming.
Soon all the Zodiac members filed sleepily into the kitchen, their brains still not fully functioning as they sat down around the table. After Tohru took her place at the table, everyone began to chow down on the delicious food she had prepared for them. As the food disappeared, everyone's minds seemed to function properly again. Later when all the plates were cleared the group split, the girls went upstairs to pack, Kyo wandered off to the roof and Shigure to his study to work on his latest story.
Not one person heard the front door open or the sound of shoes being taken up. Kyo had fallen asleep on the roof and the girls were in Tohru's room and just assumed that the person walking up the stairs was Kyo and thought nothing more of it. Nobody noticed the person enter Yuki's room and than leave a few moments later with a duffel bag slung over one shoulder and his school stuff at hand. If anyone saw they wouldn't have cared, that person couldn't be tried for theft, for he wasn't stealing. Yuki was simply gathering his things for some unknown reason.
If Tohru had known she would have stopped him, Shigure would have talked to him, Kyo would have been speechless. All three girls would have cried as he left but no, nobody else in that house knew what Yuki was doing. His journey would be long and difficult, not even Yuki himself knew of what lie ahead.
As he exited the forest he found Kagura waiting for him, tears silently falling from her red eyes. Kagura, now the only one he could trust, was the only other person he told. At first she was shocked and didn't understand, but when she figured it out, tears fell uncontrollably as she tried to talk him out of it. Silently the two teens made their way to the Sohma estate. Memories of his conversation with Kagura were fresh in Yuki's mind as he walked beside her.
A happy-go-lucky Kagura is seen bouncing up to Yuki. "Yuki what's wrong? You look like something's troubling you." Kagura said her eyes full of concern. "It's alright Kagura, there's...there's just something dangerous I must do. If you never see me again just remember that right now you're the only friend I have." Yuki said with a sigh. "Why...why are you leaving and what are you going to do?" Kagura said as tears threatened to fall. "I...I have to help everyone...they deserve to be free of the curse and Akito has made a deal with me. If I go back to Akito then Kyo won't be imprisoned and the curse will be broken. It's the only way I can make anyone happy." Yuki said, his voice quivering with fear." "Why!" Kagura shouted as tears trailed down her face landing on the ground below. "Why do you have to do this?" Kagura begged sadly. "I must, don't you understand, only I can break the curse." Yuki said more sternly. Before Kagura could say anymore he was gone with out saying a word of goodbye.
"How did you know Kagura? I never told you when I was going to leave." Yuki questioned. "I never really knew you would be here, I just hoped you were at the house and that I wasn't too late. I had second thoughts so I was standing at the edge of the forest when you came out." Kagura said quietly. "You should go back home Kagura, Akito had asked me to come alone and I don't want you to face the consequences." Yuki said as calmly as he could. "I don't want to leave you alone with Akito, Yuki." Kagura said more determinedly. "No I don't want you to get hurt." Yuki said as he pulled Kagura into a hug. "Go home now Kagura." Yuki said as he let go of Kagura and walked the last few feet into the Sohma estate.
As he walked through the estate the flowers reminded him of his secret base and of Tohru, which only boosted his resolve to see Akito's deal done. As Yuki walked the final steps before reaching the center of Akito's garden a sinister voice rang through his head.
"Hello Yuki, I'm so glad that you came." Akito said with a smirk.
