Ohayo! (Good Morning) Greetings all! I will shut up after my disclaimer! I don't own Fruits Basket or any of the characters!

Cab
"I'm surprised that Charlie didn't move his hideout… I guess he's had enough with the torture and is ready for the kill," Yume told him.
"I ready to do anything to get Tohru back…" replied Yuki.
"It's several miles away… Not too far from here," Yume said with a smile.
"Are you sure you are okay….? You look like you've been crying," asked Yuki.
"I'm okay…" answered Yume.
"Well. If you ever feel like talking I'll listen," Yuki responded.
"Thank you…" replied Yume with a smile.
"Ma'am we have arrived. I'm sorry I can't take you any farther… There are no more roads but it's less then a mile away," the cab driver told Yume.
"Thank you," replied Yume handing the man a couple of bills.
They both got out of the taxi and looked around.
"Where are we?" asked Yuki.
"A couple of blocks from Charlie's hideout. I wanted to involve as little civilians as possible so we have to walk, if that's okay," explained Yume.
"Let's go!" exclaimed Yuki.
"This way!" Yume told him as she ran off to the left.
Yuki quickly followed. In a couple of minutes they stopped at a large wooden house.
"This is his hideout?" asked Yuki staring at the nice place.
"I know, you would expect it to be a lot more hidden and cool looking," replied Yume.
"This seems suspicious. Why is the door open?" asked Yuki staring at the half open door.
"I don't know but let's go in…." responded Yume.
Yuki pushed the door open and walked in cautiously. Yume followed closely.
"Where is he?" Yume asked.
Yuki shrugged. They walked from room to room. No sight of Charlie, Tohru or Sakura anywhere. The house was silent, it looked abandoned yet not a speak of dust lay on the furniture.
"This is just like Charlie! That idiot made us come all the way here to find that he has fled to a new hiding place!" cried Yume angrily.
"Wait, look at this," Yuki told her looking at the floor.
In bright red letters was:
"Look out the window"
They both looked out the open window.
"Hey there! It took you long enough!" greeted Charlie waving to them from outside.
He was standing by the cliff. At his feet was Tohru. Her hands were tied behind her back, her mouth was taped shut and her feet were bound together.
"Tohru!" cried Yuki as he ran out the back door.
Yume followed him quickly.
"Back off! Don't get any closer!" ordered Charlie as he pulled out a gun and pointed it to Tohru's head.
Yuki and Yume froze. Charlie smirked as he harshly ripped the tape off her mouth.
"Yuki!" exclaimed Tohru happily.
"Tohru…" called Yuki but he stayed still.
"What a nice reunion. Too bad you won't be getting any closer though!" teased Charlie.
He and Tohru were dangerously close to the edge of the cliff.
"What do you want me to do? I'll do anything… Just give Tohru back…" Yuki told him.
"How sweet! But I don't need anything from you! Just seeing your pain suits me just fine!" replied Charlie with a smirk.
"Charlie… I'm sorry about treating you poorly. But this conflict between you and me has nothing to do with Tohru or Sakura," replied Yuki.
"Sakura! Where is she!" shrieked Yume.
"Yuki, Yuki, Yuki. Tohru and Sakura have everything to do with this! Because the thing that causes you the most pain is being separated from them! And the cruelest separation is death!" explained Charlie.
"Charlie! Where is Sakura!" asked Yume worriedly.
"Please give them back… Don't hurt them… Please… I'll do anything," begged Yuki as he dropped to his knees.
"See without them would you be begging me? You have to learn that love is a curse! Love binds you to them and you can't be parted! Love weakens you!" shouted Charlie.
"But love also strengthens you at the same time. Knowing that someone loves you gives you the courage to do anything. I would never think of love as a curse. Revenge, grudges, hatred… Those are the things I consider curses," Yuki told him.
Yume ran off back into the house.
"Don't talk back to me! I'll push her off!" warned Charlie.
Yuki winced.
"What do you know about love anyways? Do you know how much love hurts?" cried Charlie sadly.
"With love there is pain but there is also joy. You can't give up on love just because you have been hurt!" answered Yuki.
"Shut up!" shouted Charlie angrily.
"I won't shut up because love is a miracle and you should never give up on it! Love is rare and precious so I will fight for Tohru because she is my love! There are many obstacles in the way of love. True love though will conquer all! Nothing can keep you apart if you love someone enough! Not even death…" replied Yuki angrily.
"I said SHUT UP! Don't think I won't push her off!" threatened Charlie.
Yuki looked up to see Tohru turn around tripping Charlie with her tied feet. He fell over, he was caught off guard.
"Yuki! Go now! Go get Sakura!" cried Tohru.
"Tohru, I'm not going to leave you!" yelled Yuki as he got up to run to her.
"No go! He'll get up soon! Get away from here!" wept Tohru helplessly.
Yuki was a few feet from Tohru when Charlie got up.
"You evil woman! How could you do that! Now you have to be punished!" screamed Charlie as he shoved Tohru off the cliff and into the ocean far, far down.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" cried Tohru as she fell.
She was completely helpless with her limbs tied up.
"Tohru!" yelled Yuki as he dived down the cliff after her.
Charlie laughed evilly.
"What an easy way to kill two people!" laughed Charlie.
"Charlie! What did you do!" cried Christy running out of the back door.
"Christy? What are you doing here?" asked Charlie.
"What am I doing here! What are you doing here! What did you do to Yuki and Tohru!" shouted Christy angrily running over to him.
"Tohru! Yuki! I have Sakura!" called Yume as she came out of the house.
"Yuki? Tohru!"
Yume shrieked as she ran over to the edge of the cliff seeing the bodies crash into the water.
Sakura wailed.
"Charlie! You killed them!" wept Christy dropping to her knees.
"You jerk! Is death really the solution? You only have one life!" cried Yume.
"I don't need to hear your scolding! I didn't do anything wrong! Yuki jumped by himself! It had nothing to do with me!" Charlie yelled back.
"You arrogant, cocky, self absorbed idiot! I'm ashamed that you're even my brother!" screamed Christy as she got up and started to walk to him.
Charlie started to back away. Christy kept walking forward. He stumbled and tripped falling backwards off the cliff.
"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he shouted as he fell.
Christy yelped. Yume gasped but went over to Christy and wrapped her arm around Christy's shoulder while holding Sakura in the other.
"What did I just do to my only brother?" whispered Christy.
Christy started to cry. Yume stroked her back comfortingly.
Yuki hit the water harshly. Sharp rocks lay at the bottom of the cliff. The right side of his chest hit a rock. His shirt ripped reveling a deep cut ran across his chest. The water around him was colored red and there was a terrible pain in his chest.
"Tohru!" Yuki cried weakly scrambling around the water.
His head was spinning, he felt light headed.
"I can't lose conscious now… I must find Tohru…" Yuki thought.
His hand grabbed hold of a small hand. Yuki tiredly pulled as hard as he could. Tohru's brunette head popped out of the water. She coughed but remained unconscious.
Yuki held her hand tightly.
"Tohru… Hang in there…" murmured Yuki as he fainted.
Charlie landed on a sharp rock soon after Yuki fainted. The rock piercing through his scrawny back. He coughed up blood and lost conscious.
(Evil laugh! Muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!)
His head stung painfully. Yuki slowly opened his eyes weakly.
"Tohru!" gasped Yuki sitting upright.
Yuki grimaced at the pain in his chest and lay back down.
"Relax Yuki," Hatori told him.
"Where am I?" Yuki asked looking around at the white room.
"The hospital of course," replied Haru who was sitting in the chair beside him.
Yuki noticed the empty bed next to him and the lonely chair on the other side of his bed.
"Where is Tohru!" Yuki asked worriedly.
"I'm right here!" exclaimed Tohru opening the door and stepping into the room.
Yuki sighed obviously relieved.
Tohru walked over and sat down beside Yuki.
Hatori looked at Haru. He nodded and followed Hatori out of the room.
"Where are you going?" asked Yuki.
"We have to tell the rest of the family that the prince has awoken," teased Haru as he closed the door on his way out.
There was an awkward silence.
"So, how are you feeling?" they both asked at the same time.
They blushed, "You first"
"Tohru, you first," Yuki told her.
"I'm okay…. Nothing that bad happened to me…Just a scrape here and there… I'm lucky! I didn't hit any of the rocks…How about you? Hatori said you have a couple of broken ribs and a bad cut!" exclaimed Tohru worriedly.
"Don't worry I'm fine…" replied Yuki.
He tried to sit up but winced again sinking back down to a laying position.
"Are you okay Yuki? Does it hurt? Do you want me to go get Hatori?" Tohru asked panicky.
"No… I'm fine…" replied Yuki.
"Are you sure?" Tohru asked.
"I'm fine. Don't worry. Where is Sakura?" Yuki asked.
"She's with Yume…. She wasn't hurt though!" answered Tohru.
"Are we still in America?" asked Yuki.
"No… We're back in Japan! That's why Hatori and Haru are here… Yume and Lei came here though!" replied Tohru.
"What about Christy and Charlie? How are they?" Yuki asked.
"Charlie fell off the cliff and is in the hospital here too… Christy?" responded Tohru.
"Oh… I forgot… You don't know Christy that well… She goes to our college… She is also Charlie's younger sister… She helped me get to America and find you…" explained Yuki.
"OH! The blonde girl! She went back to Japan too! I think she went home… I'm not sure... This is what I heard from Yume. Yume didn't say many names… She described people to me!" replied Tohru.
"I see…" responded Yuki.
"Yuki, thank you for coming for me…" Tohru told him.
"There's no need to thank me… I'll always come and rescue you… No matter what situation you are in. Anytime you are in danger you can count on me to save you… Where ever, whenever I'll come for you. If you are across the world, I'll come. No matter what, I'll be there for you."
Tohru's eyes became misty, "Yuki… I've missed you so much!"
"I missed you too my hime (princess)," replied Yuki.
"I was so worried… I did--- I didn't know if you were going to live… I was so scared! You were barely alive when they rescued us--- You didn't even wake up for four days! I was so frightened that you were going to leave me all alone on this earth!" wept Tohru.
"Tohru, I would never leave you alone…. Never worry about that…" Yuki told her holding his arms out for a hug.
Tohru climbed onto his bed embracing him tightly. Yuki flinched slightly.
"Sorry! Did I hurt you?" asked Tohru worriedly releasing her grip.
"My ribs…" mumbled Yuki embarrassedly.
"I'm so sorry! Does it hurt?" Tohru asked.
"I'm fine but next time, hug me on my left side," replied Yuki.
Tohru smiled and got up and lay down beside his left side.
She kissed his cheek, "I love you so much!"
"I love you too," whispered Yuki as he kissed her on the lips.
Tohru returned the kiss. They both broke the kiss, both equally tired. Tohru smiled and snuggled against Yuki's warm chest. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Yuki lovingly stroked her silky smooth hair and he too fell asleep beside her.
"Tohru? Yuki?" Yume greeted as she slowly opened the door.
She gasped but smiled.
"This is adorable! I'm glad I didn't wake them… I wish I had a camera though…" Yume thought.
"Say goodnight to your mommy and daddy," Yume whispered to Sakura.
The little child giggled and smiled happily.
"Goodnight you two! Sweet dreams…" Yume told them quietly.
Yume stepped out of the room quietly closing the door.
"I must see my brother!" declared the silver haired man walking away from the white haired teen.
He was very close to Yuki's room when Yume asked, "Are you talking about Yuki?"
"Yes, I'm his brother, Ayame who are you?" greeted Ayame.
"Yume, Yuki is resting right now," Yume told him.
"And I don't think he would want you barging into his room and annoying him either," added Haru.
"I would never annoy my beloved brother!" replied Ayame.
"Really? Because right now you're annoying me," Yume told him.
Haru smirked.
"Who do you think you are? Talking to your elders like that?" Ayame asked.
"Elders? What elders?" teased Yume.
"I don't see why Tohru-kun and my brother trust you with their only child."
Yume snickered, "Well it's time for Sakura's nap. See you all later!"
Yume smiled and waved as she walked down the hallway. Ayame ignored her but Haru slightly waved back.
"Wow! There is someone who is more confident then you!" teased Haru in mock surprise.
"Haru, how can you be so mean to your cousin!" scolded Ayame.
"That's like asking how you can possibly annoy your own brother so much," replied Haru.
"I
do care for Yuki though… How is he? I heard he awoke today,"
asked Ayame.
"He'll live… He has two broken ribs and a cut
on his chest… He just needs rest," answered Haru.
"How about Tohru-kun?" Ayame asked.
"She's a little better off… Just some cuts and bruises… A little traumatized but physically she is fine," responded Haru.
"That's good… I'll visit them later…" Ayame told him.
"Maybe he's starting to change…"
"You, go get me a glass of water! Those stairs made me tired! Hurry now! Before I get dehydrated!" ordered Ayame.
"Yes sir!" replied the nurse.
"Or maybe not…"
Yume unlocked the door into her small apartment. It was a little dusty and messy, she hasn't been in here much. She opened the spare room on the left which was a temporary nursery. She had a cradle and everything. Just in case Yuki and Tohru may need a babysitter in the future. Yume smiled after tucking Sakura into bed.
"When your mommy is better and can leave the hospital she'll go back to taking care of you but for now you'll still stay with your auntie Yume!" exclaimed Yume.
Sakura didn't respond but instead closed her eyes and went to sleep. Yume turned off the light and closed the door gently. Yume was going to get ready for bed when she heard a soft knocking on her door.
"Who could that be?" mumbled Yume as she made her way to the door.
She unlocked the door and swung it open.
"Lei? What are you doing here?" greeted Yume.
Lei dropped on one knee and smiled.
"What are you doing?" Yume asked.
Lei pulled out a small box and opened it, "Yume will you marry me?"
"What!" exclaimed Yume.
"I love you. It was such a mistake breaking up with you… I realize now that I don't want to be separated from you ever. Seeing how far Yuki and Tohru go to stay together made me realize that I'm lucky that nobody kidnaps you or anything. I know it's a little late and you probably have moved on but I just wanted to tell you…" replied Lei.
"Of course I'll marry you! I'm sorry that I yelled at you!" cried Yume.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Lei stood up and Yume jumped into his arms happily.
It recently started to rain. Kagura stared out the window sadly. She and Kyo weren't getting along anymore… They still saw each other at family gatherings and meetings but it was always awkward between them. She sighed. Rin wasn't home and her mother was out shopping.
"What went wrong? I thought things were going great between us…"
Tears rolled down Kagura's cheeks. The heart break lingered in her heart even though the incident happened a while ago… The scene replayed in her mind several times. The pain she felt when he ran came rushing back.
"I can't ever forget him can I?" wondered Kagura bitterly laughing.
She clutched her heart miserably. The door bell rang. Kagura wiped away her tears and went to the door.
"Who could it be?"
She opened the door slowly and stared at the orange haired boy.
"Kyo?"
The end! Not that bad of an ending!
