I don't own the characters in Fruits Baskets. Just this story and Charlie. I wish I owned Yuki though. And Kisa, Haru, Momo and Tohru. And the other Sohmas but those are my faves. Thanks for all the reviews!

Haru's Room (The Next Day)

"Shigure, our plan failed. We weren't able to free Yuki…" Haru told Shigure solemnly.

"How is Yuki?" asked Shigure.

"He doesn't sound well. We were able to slip him a picture of him and Tohru though," replied Haru a little more hopeful.

"A bit of success, I guess. What should we do?" wondered Shigure.

"I don't know. How is Tohru doing?" responded Haru.

"Bad. She didn't sleep at all. All she does is cry…" answered a concerned Shigure.

"We have to help them somehow…" Haru whispered trying to think of a plan.

"What can we do?" asked Shigure hopelessly.

"I can try to visit Yuki again. But there are new guards now… Akito fired the last ones for leaving. It'll be harder to get to him this time," responded Haru.

"It seems hopeless, doesn't it?"

The Small Dark Room

Yuki was sweating. It was hot in there. He was also developing a fever. Yuki's head throbbed, he was miserable. He lay on the ground. Too weak to try to break out anymore. He hadn't gotten any food yet. Three days passed. It all seemed hopeless. He was sick, in pain and starving. No one had opened the door. No one had spoken to him since Haru came. But Haru hadn't come yet.

"Is Tohru okay? I have to see her. But how? I can barely even move… What should I do?" Yuki thought.

He grabbed the picture of Tohru and him. Holding it to the moonlight so he could see her face. It was dark. Barely any light shone into the room. Too dark to see the picture. Yuki put the picture back. Her face was already etched into his memory. Yuki slightly smiled as he thought about her. He couldn't help it. She was the joy of his life. Yuki slowly drifted off into an uncomfortable sleep.

Shigure's House

Tohru finally fell asleep. She hadn't eaten or slept for three days. It made Shigure and Kyo worry. It gave them some more hope for her to be asleep.

"I'm worried. She's going to hurt herself if she continues this,"

"I know but what can we do?" asked Kyo.

"The only thing that will make her happy again is Yuki…" replied Shigure.

"We could start by feeding her," suggested Kyo.

"I don't think she'll eat… But maybe she got hungry," responded Shigure.

"It's worth a shot. I guess we could always force feed her," added Kyo.

"I was thinking maybe giving her vitamins but whatever. Why don't you go cook her some soup?"

"Why!" shouted Kyo.

"I was thinking that soup would be the easiest thing to feed her…" answered Shigure.

"No! I meant why should I? You the oldest!" yelled Kyo.

"Fine if you want Tohru to starve be my guest. We'll all be sad if she suffers though," Shigure said in mock sadness.
"Fine!" screamed Kyo.

He stormed into the kitchen and prepared some miso soup. Shigure smirked slightly when Kyo exited the kitchen with a bowl of hot soup.

"What!" shouted Kyo.

"Nothing," responded Shigure.

Kyo and Shigure silently headed up the stairs and stood at the closed door of Tohru's room. Shigure silently knocked. No answer.

"Tohru?" called Shigure as he knocked again.

"Just open the door. She's probably asleep," ordered Kyo.

Shigure silently opened the door. Kyo dropped the bowl of soup.

"She—She's gone!" gasped Shigure.

A cool wind blew in through the open window.

Tohru…

She put one foot in front of the other. She had to see Yuki. It was no secret that he was in the Sohma main house. So that was where she was headed. She had to help Yuki.

"There's no way that Akito is doing something good to him!"

The Sohma main house was now visible.

"How am I going to get in?" wondered Tohru.

"Tohru? Is that you?"

Tohru whirled around to see Haru on his bike.

"Hatsuharu?"

"What are you doing here? Akito won't be happy to see you… You'd better get out of here," advised Haru.

"But- But I have to see Yuki," argued Tohru softly.

"It's too dangerous! Don't worry about Yuki. We'll get him out safely," replied Haru.

"Please. Please help me see him. I have to see him. Even if I can't seem him, I want to hear his voice. Please. Help me to him," pleaded Tohru.

Haru hesitantly looked at the girl.

"Please!" begged Tohru as she dropped on her knees crying.

"Okay. But you have to be quiet," warned Haru.

"Thank you Hatsuharu. I owe you," responded Tohru gratefully wiping her tears away.

Haru smiled and patted her head.

"Wait here! I'll be back!" exclaimed Haru as he dropped his bike and ran into the house.

Tohru took a seat against the wall. Her chin resting in her hands. She was very tired. In a few minutes Haru returned with Momiji and he was carrying a big bag.

"We'll distract the guards when they switch shifts. You'll have a few minutes to talk to Yuki," Haru told her.

"We're sorry that we can't get him out yet. That's up to Akito," apologized Momiji.

"It's okay… I don't blame you…" replied Tohru.

"But you are going to have to wear this…" Haru told her hesitantly pulling out the maid outfit.

Tohru stared at the frilly pink outfit in Haru's hands.

"It's the only way that you can go in unsuspected. I'm sorry but you have to wear this if you want to visit Yuki," Momiji added.

Tohru nodded as she took the dress from Haru.

"You can change in there," Haru told her pointing to a small shed.

"It's not much, but it's the only four walled thing out here… We won't look. Don't worry," reassured Momiji.

Tohru nodded and headed to the shed.

"How are we going to distract them this time?" asked Haru.

"I know! We can make it seem like Yuki is getting away! You can dress up like Yuki and I'll scream and shout so they'll chase you and leave the spot!" exclaimed Momiji excitedly.

"Why don't you dress up like Yuki?" asked Haru.

"I'm too short," replied Momiji simply.

"Okay, but what if I get caught? The guards this time are ten times bigger," responded Haru.

"Do it for Yuki and Tohru. They need our help…" answered Momiji.

Tohru came back. She looked just like a Sohma maid.

"Let's go," declared Momiji.

"Are you ready?" asked Haru.

"Yes- Thank you both so much," responded Tohru.

"No problem Tohru,"

All three of them walked to the gate. Tohru took a deep breath and they entered.

"Relax Tohru. Or they will suspect something," advised Momiji.

Tohru nodded and kept walking. They reached the hallway before Yuki's room. They waited a few minutes until the guards were ready to switch. Haru was fully dressed in one of Yuki's outfits now. He wore a simple silver wig and disguised himself pretty well. He looked just like Yuki.

"Okay they're switching," Momiji told Haru.

Haru dashed down the hallway. Fast enough so it looked like he was escaping but slow enough so that the guards could see him.

"Oh no! Yuki's getting away! Go get him!" cried Momiji in mock terror.

All the guards from both shifts ran after Haru. Haru was a good distance ahead of them though. It looked like he would be safe.

"Okay Tohru. Now there are no more guards in the Sohma house. Go speak to Yuki," Momiji said.

(Yuki is exhausted so he didn't hear any of this)

Tohru knelt by the door.

"Yuki?" called Tohru.

Yuki stirred in his room.

"Tohru? Is that you!" exclaimed Yuki.

"Yuki," responded Tohru happily.

"What are you doing here? Did Akito see you?" asked a panicking Yuki.

"It's fine. How are you?" Tohru asked him.

"I'm—I'm -- Cough I'm—I'm okay," lied Yuki.

"You don't sound fine! Are you okay?" Tohru responded nervously.

Yuki coughed again. Uncontrollably coughing. Unable to stop. He couldn't breathe anymore and fainted.

"Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!" screamed Tohru worriedly.

Akito walked by. Hearing the screams he turned towards Yuki's room.

"Honda-san!" gasped Akito.

Tohru didn't hear her and continued to scream and bang on Yuki's door. Momiji saw Akito though and ran protectively in front of her.

"What is SHE doing hear!" screeched Akito.

"Don't touch her!" Momiji yelled.

Tohru turned around to see Akito fling Momiji across the room.

"What are you doing here! No one is allowed here! What did you do to the guards!" roared Akito as she grabbed Tohru's hair and ripped her up to her feet.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" shrieked Tohru.

Haru ran into the room. (He ran around until he lost the guards.) Haru yanked Akito back away from Tohru and held the angered woman back. Tohru dropped to the ground whimpering.

"Let me go!" screamed Akito as she punched Haru in the face.

Haru fell back.

"Get out! Never come back here again!" yelled Akito furiously.

Tohru backed up against the wall. She was terribly frightened but she knew that she couldn't leave Yuki. He needed her.

"I said get out!" repeated Akito angrily.

"No!" responded Tohru.

"What did you say!" cried Akito.

"I won't leave Yuki! You're killing him! How can you do this to him!" screamed Tohru madly.

"How dare you say that to me! I rule them! You can't talk back to me!" yelled Akito.

Akito grabbed Tohru's chin and forced her to look in her eyes. She was about to erase her memories again when she heard a voice cry, "That's enough!"

Akito turned around to see Kureno and Hatori running towards her.

Hatori reached for Tohru and harshly removed Akito's hand.

"What is this? Are you going against me?" asked Akito surprised.

"Don't you think that you've done enough?" asked Kureno angrily.

"Don't you think that they've proved their love is true?" asked Kureno heading towards Akito.

"It's time to stop Akito! You can't rule their lives forever. You know that," added Hatori as he helped Tohru stand.

Akito backed up against the wall. The two people who she trusted the most were going against her to help another!

"You can't stop two people from loving each other!" yelled Kureno.

"I learned that a little too late. I won't let you do to Tohru and Yuki what you did to Kana and me!" shouted Hatori,

(Two people who always held back their anger are now letting it all out!)

Tohru dropped on her knees and whispered to Akito, "Please, Please let Yuki out. He's not doing well in there. You have to let him out!"

"Please," begged Tohru.

A tear rolled down Akito's cheek.

"Akito, please give us the keys to Yuki's room. He needs help now!" Kureno begged calmer now.

Akito shook as she reached into her pocket and pulled out the keys. (I don't know if she has a pocket but she does now!) Hatori quickly took the keys from Akito before she changed her mind. He and Kureno rushed over to the door and quickly unlocked it. There they found a fainted Yuki laying on the floor. His face was a dark red and his breathing was short and rapid.

"He has a fever. We need to get him to my office immediately," Hatori told Kureno and Tohru.

Kureno helped Hatori pick up Yuki and they walked as fast as they could with a worried Tohru following them.

"What have I done?" wondered Akito.

Hatori and Kureno laid Yuki on the couch. Hatori prepared an IV and hooked it up to Yuki's arm. Tohru got a wet towel and gently put it on Yuki's hot forehead. Kureno left the room and went to find Akito. Hatori got some medicine. He opened Yuki's mouth and poured the medicine down his throat.

(That sounds so cruel. But whatcha gonna do if the person's fainted?)

Tohru wrapped a blanket around him lovingly.

"Is he going to be okay?" asked a worried Tohru.

"He should be fine tomorrow after he eats something. You should eat something too," Hatori told Tohru.

He left the room and shortly returned with some buns. He handed them to Tohru who ate them hungrily.

"You shouldn't ever starve yourself. It's not good for your body," advised Hatori.

Tohru nodded as she took another bun.

"Feel free to stay the night," Hatori told her.

Tohru blushed and replied, "Oh no! I could never cause you so much trouble!"

"If it's trouble for anyone it's going to be trouble for you. I don't have a spare bed or anything…" responded Hatori.

"That's okay! I don't need anything!" exclaimed Tohru.

Hatori looked hesitant and guilty.

"It's nice enough of you to let me stay here. I really don't need anything," responded Tohru.

"Okay then good night. I'll see you tomorrow morning," Hatori said before he left the room.

"Good night," replied Tohru.

"Call me if you need anything or if Yuki wakes up," responded Hatori.

Tohru looked at Yuki's flushed face worriedly. He twitched and rolled over. Tohru collapsed tiredly in a chair. She moved by the couch.

"Please be okay," prayed Tohru.

Tohru slowly drifted off to sleep.

The Next Morning

Tohru woke up. She stared at Yuki's face. She placed her hand on Yuki's forehead. It was a little less warm. Yuki's eyes fluttered open.

"Yuki! Are you feeling better?" asked Tohru concerned.

"Yuki? Who's Yuki?" asked a confused Yuki.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tohru screamed panicking.

Hatori rushed into the room.

"What's wrong?" asked Hatori.

"He- He—He doesn't remember who he is!" exclaimed Tohru.

Hatori examined Yuki. Yuki stared wide-eyed at the strange people.

"He seems to have a case of amnesia. Probably from being in that room for so long without food or water. He should remember in a few days," responded Hatori.
