Chapter 1: Who's in the Creepy Hallway Dying

Who's in the creepy hallway strolling?

The bats and the torches moan Momiji.

The darkness in the distance is calling

Momiji, yes it's true.

The walls with their doors locked shut,

Who needs to be scared when we got you?

Tohru chuckled hearing this version of Momiji's song while Momiji continued to sing his song. They were actually in a dark hallway, making their way back from the bathroom. Momiji was scared to go alone in the darkness.

While Tohru was thinking, Momiji fell forward, and Tohru didn't have time to react. She tripped on Momiji and fell on the stone floor next to him.

"Ow, that hurt." Tohru declared as she got up. "Are you okay, Momiji?"

"Yeah! My nose hurts, but I'm okay," Momiji got up quickly. "Come on Tohru. We need to hurry." Momiji ran ahead into the darkness.

"Wait, Momiji. I need to make sure you're okay!" Tohru screamed to Momiji. Tohru began to run after. "Where are you Momiji?" She began to fear the worst. What if he had a broken leg, tripped, and fell out a broken window? She had just finished thinking that when she slipped on a puddle and fell on her back.

"Momiji?" She asked quietly as she got up.

"In the way," a voice moaned in the darkness.

"Momiji?"

"In the way."

"This isn't funny. Let's go-"

Tohru didn't get to finish because, at that moment, a figure in a dark cloak appeared carrying a bloody Momiji in one arm and startled her.

"Momiji, are you okay?" Tohru asked, knowing the worst had happened. No response. She looked at the puddle and what was on her. It was definitely Momiji's blood. She began to run.

The figure began to chase her, dropping Momiji's body and driving the knife farther in his back. Soon, it had its scythe ready to strike. Tohru tripped forward. The figure then raised its scythe. She turned around and backed up which made the scythe strike the stone floor. It raised the scythe again which made her back up against the wall. The figure stood above her. She tried to back up more. It began to drop the scythe again. Then, a shrill scream was heard throughout the mansion.

"Honda-san," Yuki stated as he heard the scream. "Stupid cat, didn't you hear her?"

"Yes I did. I am sorry that I was dazed after losing to you again, damn rat," An angry Kyo responded.

"Oh what could have happened to our beloved Tohru?" Shigure asked.

"In this place, who knows what happened…or is happening?" Yuki worried. "I'm coming Honda-san!" Then he ran into the hallway

"Wait, I'm going too," Kyo stated.

"Sissy…" Kisa thought.

"I'm going if Kyo's going," Kagura passionately affirmed.

"Tohru!" Uo and Hana screamed before running after everybody else that said something.

"Wait, Kisa!" Hiro yelled at Kisa.

Oh, you get the point. Everybody ran after Yuki to see if Tohru was okay. I'll take the time it will take them to run to explain to you the situation they are in. On their way to a vacation somewhere, Shigure ran out of gas in the really large limo he rented to fit everybody in one vehicle. It was getting close to dark so they decided to stay at an old, dilapidated mansion they ran out of gas by.(A/N I always think they should know better than that when they do stupid things like this in movies or books.) They would push the really large limo to the closest gas station the next morning.(A/N The gas station happened to be right out of their sight range.) They were going to stay in the foyer, but Momiji needed the bathroom, so Tohru decided to accompany him to make him feel better. Then all of this trouble happened.

"Honda-san, where are you?"

Tohru thought she could hear a voice.

"Honda-san, if you can hear me answer."

It sounded like Yuki.

"Sissy!"

That one sounded like Kisa.

"Tohru, answer us!"

"Kyo…Kyo! Over here!" Tohru found the strength to answer him.

"Say something again, Honda-san!"

"Over here…I'm over here!" Tohru screamed again. Then she fainted.

Tohru woke up on a makeshift bed in the foyer. On another makeshift bed,

covered by a sheet was something in the shape of Momiji's body. Her right arm hurt badly.

"Honda-san, are you all right?" Yuki inquired when he noticed that she was awake.

"Umm…uh…Momiji and I were on are way back from the bathroom. Momiji ran ahead, and I tried to catch up with him. I slipped on a puddle of liquid that I found out was Momiji's blood. A figure appeared and tried to kill me with a scythe. Momiji was already dead when he tried to attack me. My scream startled the figure and it hit my arm instead of my heart. It then grabbed the scythe and ran away."

"That's disturbing," Hiro commented.

"It was a scythe, you say," Hatori confirmed. "Do you know if it was rusty?"

"Um…No, it looked brand-new," Tohru responded.

"Good."

Tohru began to cry. She began to cry for Momiji, she cried for herself, she cried for everybody, but, most of all, she cried because of fear. Momiji had been taken from her, but will anyone else? Will she be taken from them? She had no idea, and it scared her to think of Yuki or Kyo dying. The thought of losing her best friends, Hana and Uo, had also scared her. The thought of Kisa dying made her shudder.

"Tohru," Kyo said, bringing Tohru out of thought.

"Yes, Kyo."

"Does your arm hurt badly?"

"N-no," Tohru lied.

"Aww… Kyo is concerned," Shigure teased.

"Shigure, this is not the time for you to be bickering with that stupid cat," Yuki stated.

"Keep out of this, you damn rat."

"Anyway, Honda-san, all of us can tell you are lying," Yuki told Tohru.

"R-really," Tohru stuttered. "How?"

Before Yuki, or anyone else, could answer the lights started to flicker. The figure looked down at them from the railing above. It scanned the Sohmas, Uo, and Hana one by one judging whom to target next. Hana stared right back at him, Uo made a fist, Kisa and Hiro hid behind Yuki (A/N Seconds later Shigure tried to hide behind Yuki too.), and Ritsu ran around panicking. That was a few of the things going on in the foyer.

The figure looked like it had found a target and jumped.

Note on dead character: sobs I can't believe I killed Momiji. I mean, I knew he was going to die, but why first? I just killed my favorite Fruits Basket character in the first chapter. Wait… soon he will join me in the Dead Lounge. Yay! Momiji appears

Momiji's view of chapter: Waah! The author's picking on me! He hurt me! Waah! Hello, everybody! I'm here to give my opinion on each chapter, and this one was horrible. I died. I was only alive for about half of a page. Other than my death, this chapter was a good one. I need to think of a Dead Lounge song.

Note about main characters: The main characters for the entire fiction are disputable, but I think they are Yuki and the figure. Why Yuki? That will be found out in a later chapter. For this chapter the main characters were probably Tohru and the figure.

Note about figure: The figure leaves a small hint in each chapter as to who he or she is. Me? I know who the figure is. This hint, the least useful hint, "In the way…" Think of it as Momiji and Tohru were in the way of whom? Could it be the malicious Rin who was only thinking of herself, or, perhaps the calm Hatori who was tired of it all, or, maybe, the over energetic Ayame who loves his brother?

Note to readers: Please review. If you want to leave a suggestion on how a certain character should die or just how to kill any character leave it in your review. For example, if you want an anvil on the fourth floor of the mansion to fall through the floor onto a safe on the third floor, which falls through the floor to a piano on the second floor, which finally, falls through the floor onto Kagura, just tell me. Also, if you want me to use any particular weapons or method of killing, the figure has more than a scythe as a weapon. I may use the suggestion. I may not.

Second note to readers: My ending note is going to get longer with each passing chapter, except, for the next chapter because each character that dies will join me in the Dead Lounge like Momiji did. Each of these characters will also have a specific thing to talk about, so, if you have a suggestion for something to talk about in the Dead Lounge, review and tell me.

And Finally… Thank you note: Thank you for taking the time to read this fiction.
