Disclaimer: I don't own Fruit Basket. But if I did I would be rolling in the cash! Yeah money! But 'till then I'll write on here. I know I haven't written here in a billion years but here's my latest. Enjoy!
A teenage boy stepped lightly into a dimly lighted room. A dark figure sat in the middle of the room as the teenage boy quietly sat on his legs. "Akito…I, I met this girl at school. I really like her. I want to ask her out tomorrow at school." "No…" the figure responded quietly. "But Akito, I really think she likes me back. I'll be careful! She won't find out!" "No. It's too much of a risk. She probably hates you. She couldn't accept you…" Akito responded coldly.
Anger and rebellion filled the young man. His quiet anger was about to erupt. "WHY DON'T YOU LET ANYBODY IN THIS HOUSE DO ANYTHING? YOU'RE HOLDING THIS FAMILY BACK!"
In a heartbeat Akito had risen from the middle of the room and hand slipped her hands around the young man's neck. "How dare you! If you don't like the way I'm running this family then leave! Get out!" Akito screamed.
"What's going on?" asked a second young man who had just entered the room. "We heard yelling." Said a third young man following the second one. "Shigure!" shouted the second one. "AKITO! STOP!" stated the third one as both young men ran into the room to pull Akito's grip off Shigure. "Ayame! Hatori! Stay out of this!" she shouted, tightening her boa constrictor like grasp on Shigure's young neck. He struggled for air as he clawed at her hands. The combined strength of Hatori, Ayame, and Shigure were finally enough to get Akito's hands off Shigure.
"Come on Shigure, let's get you back to your room." Ayame said, putting Shigure's arm around his neck. "Hatori help me out here!" he stated. Hatori gave Akito an unemotional stare before he grabbed Shigure's other arm and helped him out the room.
Hatori and Ayame had Shigure laid out on his bed. "Get Shigure some water." Asked Hatori, looking at Ayame. "Right!" he answered as he rushed out the room. Shigure just laid there on his bed, breathing heavily due to his lack of air. "Shigure, what happened back there?" asked Hatori. "I…I…" Shigure began. "I have the water." Ayame pointed out, holding the glass full of water. "Thank you Ayame." Said Hatori passing the glass to Shigure. Shigure slowly sipped at the water in front of him.
"What happened Shigure?" repeated Ayame. "I…I told Akito that I wanted to ask out Tsukaki, and Akito said no. I'm just so sick and tired of Akito saying no to everything. And I snapped in her face." Shigure finished quietly. "Why would you do something like that?" asked Ayame. "You know that women has anger issues." Pointed out Hatori. "Yeah but she's always holding us back." "She's the leader of this family." Hatori said quietly in his unemotional tone of voice. "I'm so sick and tired of her thinking she knows everything. She's just as old as we are. How does she know what's best for this entire family!" exclaimed Shigure. "You know Shigure, it's getting pretty late. Maybe you should just sleep this whole thing off." Suggested Ayame. "Good night." He finished as he walked out the room. Hatori got up and followed him out of the room, but he stopped at the door. "Shigure, don't do something stupid like that again, because next time we may not be there for you." Hatori said never looking back at him. He left the room leaving Shigure with nothing but his thoughts. But one thought shouted out louder then the others. "Come tomorrow morning, I'm running away from Sohma house."
