Title: Demon Days

Summary: Haru doesn't always tell the truth especially when it comes to Black Haru. Also he's hiding a secret that he doesn't want anyone else to know. Kyo/ Haru pairing in later chapters.

Sorry it took so long to post, I've been working on a lot of stories lately.

Warning: there is yaoi (boyXboy) in this story if don't like it don't read. My other warnings will be at the end!

This is my first Fruits Basket story.

In this story Black Haru and Haru are kind of like Dark and Daisuke from DN Angel, when one takes over the body they can see the other one on the outside from time to time and can talk to each other telepathically.

Also in the chapters there are sometimees two dialogues going on at the same time. I know it maybe kind of confusing but Black Haru/ White Haru is talking to both others (such as Kyo: on the outside) and White/ Black (telepathically).

italics are Black Haru and Haru talking to each other.

bold italics is other people's thoughts.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. If I did there'd be more Haru.

Demon Days

Chapter 7- Haru's Saving Grace

Shigure and Hatori search for days trying to find something that would break the curse. They searched the internet, the library, bookstores, really anything they could find. They were coming up with nothing.

The only thing they didn't try was looking into magic books. Poor Tohru kept insisting they look and they just brushed her off.

"Using black magic won't help."

"Black magic is dangerous."

"It's just ridiculous."

Nothing got through to them. She was getting rather frustrated. It was the sixth day and still they wouldn't listen to her. Stressed, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

She found a magic shop and told her little white lie.

"After school I've got work," She lied.

And they believed her.

So now she stood looking up at the shop.

It was very dark as she enter the shop.

"Can I help you?" a voice rang out.

A small balding man just taller than Tohru came up to her smiling.

"Yes," she smiled.

"Let me guess," the small chuckled, "a love spell for the lady?"

"No, in need a spellbook," Tohru told him, "one that will remove curses."

He stared at her for a moment completely surprised.

"My friend needs it," she told him quickly after seeing the look on his face, "he's turning evil and I need it to save him."

"Like a demon?" the small man asked curiously.

"Yes," She said quickly.

He took her to the east side of the shop and took a book off the shelf.

"This is the book, Miss, but I'm sorry I can't give it to you it's really dangerous and I'm sure you don't have any experience in this area," he said, shifting the topic while putting the book back on the self, "Are you sure you aren't interrested in a nice love spell? I'll make it 30 off just for you."

"No, I need that book, please!" Tohru whined.

"I'm sorry," he said, "Love potions are also good do you want one of those? 30 off."

"Maybe, would you show me?" Tohru asked, again she was lying.

The small man smiled and turned shuffling hiimself as fast as he could to the other side of the room, which dare I say wasn't very fast.

Tohru watched for a second as he went and braced herself.

This is for Haru, she thought.

She whipped the book off the shelve, into her backpack, and ran after the small man.

To make things somewhat fair she paid for a love potion and went on her way.

Next she had to find some place safe to look up the right spell. After much consideration she headed to the library. Once there she placed her backpack onto the table and took out the book.

She opened the first page and looked at the table of contents. Immediately she was confused.

This is going to be harder than she thought.

She suddenly got a good idea to cross reference the spells on the internet.

Hours later she had to leave and she still didn't have a clue. But she, with all her optimism, felt she was getting close. As quickly as possible she stuffed the book and her research into her bag and hurried home.

As she got to the house she was panting heavily and stopped just before the front entrance trying to catch her breathe before going in.

"Stupid rat!" Kyo hissed loudly from inside.

"Maybe you shouldn't be making out with a deranged cow!" Yuki yelled coolly back.

Tohru stepped inside just as Kyo threw a book at Yuki.

"Stop it!" she said worriedly.

"Miss Honda, your home," Yuki said quitely turning to her.

"I'm sorry I'm late," she said apologetically, "Please don't fight."

"Fine," Kyo agreed, "Just make him stop teasing me!"

"Why?" Yuki asked.

"Stop fighting!" Tohru said in semio-commanding tone, "just stop!"

"Fine," Yuki conceded, "I'll stop... for now."

"And how long will that last?" Haru asked.

"You too, Haru," She pointed at him to convay her meaning.

"Your bossing me aroound now!" Haru hissed, "oh, please!"

"Tohru, your home!" Shigure said coming in from the kitchen, "I was just warming up dinner. Thank you for making this ahead of time."
"Oh, your welcome," Tohru said as they headed into the kitchen, once they were in the safety of the kitchen, "How's research going?"

"Nothing," Shigure said dramatically, and put an arm to his forehead.

"Kyo should be the one acting like that not you," Yuki said, "afterall it's his boyfriend."

"Shut up!" Tohru yelled Yuki before Kyo said, "I said no more fighting!"

"Sorry, Miss Honda," Yuki said apologetically.

The rest of dinner was quite silent, to a point of it being rather disturbing.

Tohru awoke feeling quite groggy. Today was the deadline on the curse and she needed as much time to find that spell and prepare.

"I'm sorry, mom, but my friends are much too important," she sighed.

She was doing a lot of different things these days.

Tohru dressed in her regular close and covered herself up with her blanket all the way up to her chin and started back to sleep.

"Tohru?" Kyo asked as he leaned over her sometime later.

"Kyo, (cough), I don't feel well (cough, cough)," she faked, "I don't think (Hack) I can go today I'm (cough) sorry."

Kyo stood there for a moment and then sighed, "I don't think I can go either. But that's entirely different reason," he stared at her for a nother moment longer, "but I have to."

He left the room to go to tell the other's that Tohru was sick.

"Tohru's not feeling well enough to go today," Kyo said somberly.

"Maybe, I shouldn stay home with her," Shigure said thoughtfully.

"No, that's fine," Kyo said angrily, "go to Hatori's and keep looking or I'll kill you."

"Then I'll go," Shigure said quickly.

"Are you surre about leaving Miss Honda by herself?" Yuki asked curiously.

"Yes," Kyo said after a minute.

"Fine," Yuki said in almost a growl, "just remember I have a student council meeting after school."

"Kyo, are you and Tohru up to something?" Shigure asked.

"No," Kyo said flatly.

It was half an hour before they left after she made quite sure they all were gone. She got up and grabbed her bag and went into Shigure's workroom.

Today I have to do it, She thought.

It took until two pm to find a suitable spell and she feared the intracasies of the spell itself.

It called upon one of the most mightiest of god's to ask for help. She only hoped that he would help her. Before she could do the spell she needed to gather ingredients. A hard sell, duing to the fact she only knew of one magic shop and that's the one she had stolen the book from.

Oh well, I HAVE to find a new one, She thought.

This time she searched the internet. Her search data came up with two shops; the one she stole from and a closer one. Her luck was finally working.

She practically ran to the shop, she didn't have much time. She entered the shop and quickly and purposefully found her ingredients. The shop keeper in this shop seemed to be fake. Tohru sincerely hoped his ingredients weren't as fake as him.

It was quite a bill for all the ingredients, she'd sure be paying for it for a month atleast. She sighe and handed over the money.

The women gave her the bag and she hurried, almost as fast a she had going there, all the way back to Shigure's.

The first thing she needed was to draw a pentagram on the floor easy enough.

After she prepared the spell she clutched the crystal and shivered.

I'm most not waver, she thought as she sat down inside the pentagram.

"Stupid girl," Haru sighed, "what is she up to?"

"If I could only get out of here," he went on.

All of the sudden there was a boom and a crackling sound. The lamp to Haru's right fell over and hit him.

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU DARE CALL UPON ME!" The god yelled as he desended up on Tohru.

"My name is Tohru Honda and please, I need your help," she said with all the courage she muster, "my friend..."

"Yes, I know," the god replied.

"So, please I beg you!" She said, bowing down as the entirre contents, excluding her bed, flew around the room.

Normally he would never do something for some petty girl, on the contrary she'd be dead by now. But Tohru was pure of heart, perfect for a certain task he needed done, and he felt rather generous on top of that.

"How much do you want to save your friend?" he asked slyly.

"I'd do anything!" Tohru pleaded, surely she would even die to save a friend.

That's exactly what he wanted to hear.

"Fine, I'll will help you," he stated, "under the condition that when the time comes you will aide me."
"Aide you?" Tohru gulped.

The god nodded.

"Yes, I will," she said with as much resolve she could gather.

"Fine, than I will help you," he told her, as he lifted one of his over large hands, "but when you see my symbol you will come to me and the repayment of this debt will begin."

And with that there was once again a large crackle and even larger boom.

The boom knocked Tohru unconscious.

It was late when she finally awoke. She sighed and then suddenly remember everything and then bolted straight up.

She had to see if it had indeed worked. Quickly she found the keys to the locks that were in Shigure's room. Tohru bolted downstairs almost tripping on the second to last one but she caught herself on the wall before she hit the ground. Not wasting anymore time she ran over to her Haru was still out cold.

She held the key and opened one lock after another her fingers so nerovus she slipped several times. It seemed like forever when the last one came off. Tohru held her breathe and shook Haru.

Nothing happen.

Frustration poured over her as she shook him again.

Somewhere in the house the chimes clanked off, it was almost ten.

"Sorry I'm late," Yuki yelled as he came into the front.

Tohru panicked and shook Haru ferverously.

Finally the cow groggily opened his eyes.

"Tohru?" he asked, still groggy.

"Haru, you're better!" Tohru said and almost hugged the bewildered cow, ALMOST.

Just then Yuki came in.

"Yuki, Haru's all better!" Tohru told him as she turned to him.

"Tohru, what did you do!" Yuki asked.

She smiled and kissed Yuki. Yuki was quite surprised but kissed her back.

Remember don't get lost in heaven!

THE END

I left out all the black magic stuff because 1) you shouldn't be doing stuff like that, 2) its too hard for me to write about, and 3) all of it's made up anyways

You should never do really hard (or really any other) black magic spells unless you know 110 what you're doing. It's super danergous! Tohru was super SUPER lucky.

As to what Tohru she has to do, don't worry I'm making a sequel about it. It's should be funny!

Also I'm quite sly (atleast I think I am!) and I put something special in each one of the chapters. If you figure it out I'll give you a cookie!

If it proves too hard I'll give you a hint if you review and then email me! But you have to review my email address!

Also as of now I've decided I'm going to redo it. It needs a lot of reworking and I want to add some things (like some parts that may not make much sense, i.e. a little more Kyo/Haru ness). Oh, and to those of you who care, like maybe Dark Inu Fan I still will be putting out Tohru's Tasks since my reworkings won't change that story at all and so far I've written a lot of chapters and it's going rather well. Anyway, wish me luck! Thanks!
