Ok, I guess I'm not going to go to sleep yet and instead I'll write another chapter to the exciting story POINT OF NO RETURN! YAY! I am sad to say that I do not own Fruits Basket, but I do own Kyra Titsugumi, her family, and that advisor guy. I just thought to add this cause I don't want to be sued. Ok, so here we go…

Point of No Return

Black Haru's POV

We walked home in relative silence, and Kyra stood on the other side of Kyo so I couldn't whisper things to her. We got to Shigure's house easy enough and Tohru got dinner started right away. Before I could talk to Kyra alone she ran up the stairs and into her bedroom just like always.

"Hey Haru, why do you have that stupid look on your face?" Shigure joked when he saw me. My anger at Shigure's comment didn't overcome my happiness with Kyra so I just ignored Shigure all together and decided to talk to her in her room.

Kyra's POV

I was rereading the same sentence for the hundredth time when I heard a knock on my door. I was tired and confused and didn't really want to talk right now so I ignored the knocking. It became more persistent and didn't show signs of stopping so I went over and opened the door.

"What?" I snapped automatically before I saw who it was. There stood Haru. OMG, what should I do. Just act cool, be suave, don't be a geek. I thought as he walked into my room. He was still wet from the rain so his hair was hanging in his eyes slightly giving him a dangerous look. I couldn't think of anything to say so I just stood there staring at the floor blushing profusely. I heard more than saw him close my door and come towards me.

My earlier courage was zapped and I was very nervous. "Can I help you with something Haru?" I finally asked looking up at him. He was closer than I had thought and I began to panic. Without thinking I took a step back, tripped over my backpack, and landed on my bed. His chuckled softly and came closer to my bed. I scrambled to sit up and compose myself but I kept being distracting by Haru's constant staring.

"Are you going to say anything?" I asked irritably. I had been sitting there for a while now and all he was doing was stare at me. "Do you like me?" he asked me out of the blue. I nearly swallowed my tongue at his bluntness. I looked at him sheepishly and said, "Maybe," He frowned slightly and sat on the edge of my bed next to me. "No, I need an answer."

My heart was beating a mile a minute and I was scared. I had never admitted to someone I liked them before because I always had to let them go. But now when I really liked someone and I assumed he liked me as well, considering he kissed me, I didn't know what to do. I looked up at Haru and tried to swallow the growing lump in my throat.

Haru's POV

She doesn't like me does she? I can see that look of regret in her eyes. I am such a dumb ass, how could I have made such a stupid mistake? I thought irritably as I spun away and stalked out of the room. I didn't even hear her follow me but I felt her arms wrap around me from behind. Yet again I didn't transform but I could feel White Haru pushing his way back into control.

Yuki turned the corner and saw her embracing me. At first he smiled at the fact she had opened up to me and then shock set in. He lifted his hand and pointed to her arms that where still around my stomach. I nodded my head yes and smiled. Yuki cleared his throat and Kyra let go of my middle.

She peaked around me and I saw her blushing yet again. For a girl who is so reserved, you can always tell when she is embarrassed. I thought jokingly. "I hate to intrude, but um your father is here Miss Titsugumi," he said not knowing how much Kyra feared and hated her father. All the color drained from her face and horror filled her eyes. "No. No. No. No. NO. NO! NOOO!" she ended up yelling and running back to her room locking the door as soon as the door was closed.

I looked at Yuki with anger and fear when I heard the lock on her door click.

Kyra's POV

He isn't supposed to be here for another few days. Why did he have to come now? I'll run away and live on my own, but I can't get any of my savings and father would send someone after me. I'll never be rid of him. I thought as I slumped onto the floor next to my door crying. "Why?" I whispered hoarsely. My suitcase was under my bed and I slid it out. It wasn't hard packing all of my things back into my suitcase, but finding the zipper through my tears was.

All that stood between my father and me now was my door and the walk downstairs. Here goes nothing, I thought as I unlocked the door. Haru was leaning against the wall outside of my room but I didn't say anything to him as I passed. He took me hand trying to stop me but I just looked up at him and shook my head. I could tell he was sad to and I couldn't take it anymore. I dropped my suitcase and hugged him as tight as I could as I cried on his shoulder. He just stood and stroked my hair until I was done.

When I finally let go of Haru I turned and left as fast as I could. The stairs loomed below me when I reached the top. I gulped and began my decent. My father stood by the door with a blank expression and his arms crossed over hischest. When he saw me he narrowed his eyes and I knew I wasn't going to be able to go to school the next day.

"Thank you Shigure, for allowing my to stay in your home, and thank you Tohru for trying to teach me to cook. Thank you Yuki and Kyo for being friends to me." I said and I turned to leave but saw movement at the top of the stairs. Haru started down and I shot a glance at my father. His nostrils flared when he saw Haru. No doubt Mr. Tattle-tail told him about Haru, I thought glumly. "And thank you Haru for being you," I whispered so no one could hear but Haru.

Tears stung my eyes as we walked to the car. I put my suitcase in the trunk and climbed into the back seat. Glancing over my shoulder as our car pulled away I saw Haru start to chase the car. My father noticed to and sped up spraying Haru with gravel from the driveway. Haru faltered in pain but chased us for awhile longer until my father sped up even more and propelled us out of sight.

Soon enough we were home and my things were put away when my father called me to his study. I knew what was coming and could think of no way to stop it. I opened the study door and stepped in silently. My father had been waiting for me so I didn't say anything after I shut the door behind me.

"You know why you are here?" he asked softly as he stood and came towards me. I nodded yes and just looked at the ground between my feet. His hand shot at me like lightning and clamped around my hair almost the same way Akito's had. He used it to make me look him in the eye. "A boy?" he asked throwing me to the ground. I fell and hit my head on the edge of his mahogany desk. I could feel blood trickling down the die of my face but this was only the beginning of my injuries.

The next day

Haru's POV

Where is she? I thought frantically at the end of school. "Calm down Haru, she's probably just sick or something," Momiji said not knowing that her father was back. "You'll see her when you go back to Shigure's house anyway," I turned on him shooting daggers with my eyes.

"She isn't staying there anymore, her father came home," I said sweetly with venom dripping from every word. I was tearing myself apart not knowing where she was or if she was all right.

"Haru!" Kyo yelled over the mass of students' heads. I looked up and pushed my way to him. "What is it? Did you hear something?" I asked hurriedly. He looked at me regrettably and said, "I think you should sit down for this man," My mind went haywire at those words I could barely contain myself.

"Just tell me!" I yelled at him and shoved him against a locker holding him a few inches from the ground. Kyo didn't even get angry. "I said sit man," he repeated closing his eyes still speaking calmly. I dropped him and sat down on a near by bench.

"She is in the intensive care unit at the hospital," he began. "WHAT!" I yelled jumping up from the bench. Kyo's thin patience was running out so he just grabbed my arm and pulled me back onto the bench. "She is under an alias so only her family members know where she is. And there is no way that I'm going to talk to that beast of a man her father." My anger was pushing me over to Black Haru again and I didn't even try to stop it.

Kyo's POV

I ran after Haru as he shoved his way back through the crowd then continued to run in the direction of the hospital. A lady in scrubs and a security guard manned the front desk inside the hospital, they were flirting and thankfully didn't notice Haru or I sneak by.

The Intensive Care Unit was found on the third floor so up Haru and I went. Instead of sneaking around up there we decided to ask for help. I watched Haru steal somebody's bouquet of flowers and we walked over to the nurses' station holding them.

"Hello Miss, I'm looking for a girl with straight blonde hair, bright green eyes, and a killer smile who is a patient in this unit," He started flashing the nurse seated there (who wasn't much older then us) a charming grin. She blushed a little at first and then started searching for what room she was in.

"Wait," she said before telling us the number, "why are you looking for her and how do you know her?" Haru and I glanced at each other. Since she seemed charmed by Haru I stepped up and said she was my girlfriend and that he was her brother. The nurse looked at us suspiciously.

"Come on, Darlene. Can't you tell a guy where his sick sister is?" He said reading her nametag and trying to guilt her into it. "But you described her as having a 'killer smile' and that doesn't sound like a brotherly thing to say," the nurse said more flirting with Haru than asking.

He turned on his charm and replied, "Well, she learned it from me." Flashing her a smile the nurse gave in and gave us the number to Kyra's room. When we were out of earshot of the nurse we looked at the name she gave us. "Gertrude Wilson?" we said at the same time. We both cracked up and ran the rest of the way to "Gertrude's" room.

The room was dim and the only sound inside was a machine that beeped every time Kyra's heart beat. "I'll wait for you in the hall Haru," I said letting him have time to absorb the look of her.

Haru's POV

Her hair was matted to her head with sweat and her face was barely recognizable. Her eyes were puffy and her bottom lip was split. The only thing that looked untouched was her nose. Her left wrist and hand were in a cast and there were bruises all over her legs and other arm. I felt horror to think that a human could do this to another, and because I blamed myself. If only I had run faster. If only I had stopped her father from taking her. If only I had beaten him before he could have done this to her. Tears slide down my face as I sat in the chair next to her bed and held her hand.

Wow, this chapter was really sad. I guess being sick makes me depressed. I have a few ideas of what should happen next, but I would love your input. Thank you.
