We do not own Fruits Basket

He gently moved Tohru off of his lap and made sure that his share of blanket was set like a pillow he moved to stand and walked out the door. "Why do you always walk away?" He gave a small glare.

"Cause you always seem to become depressed with me around." The cow spoke sadly as he turned away facing him.

"I don't get depressed." He looked off to the side placing his hands in his pockets.

"Cat do you love me or not?" He watched him now.

"You've made my life hell since when we were little and we've been enemies since I can remember every time we talk I get so angry... and just want to knock your face in... but I cant help but feel really attached to you Ushi...I don't know what it is and I'm not going to just spit out I love yous." He smiled and scratched the back of his head nervously.

He nodded as he smirked stretching a bit. "Its my way of telling you that I care about you, go take care of her I don't want her waking up getting scared that her crush is gone."

You are such a ass... Don't say that it's creepy." He rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to go out for a bit make sure she doesn't try anything stupid." The cow turned walking off.

"Why does he always get to go out?" He mumbled walking back to the slumbering Tohru. She slept silently now holding onto the blanket for comfort. He sat back against the wall and fell to sleep he was going to take Tohru out tomorrow he was getting annoyed of the same schedule.

She sat quietly beside Haru eating quietly he had brought her something better then fruit and cookies. She smiled humming quietly now as she ate from a bowl of cereal. He had eaten his food quickly and was just sitting there watching the two eat he yawned and rested his elbow on the tabletop.

"Kyou-kun can we play hide the shoe today?" She looked up to him now smiling.

"Were going out today...I cat stand the site of this room anymore." He gave her a faint smile.

She nodded lightly smiling. "So I'll need my shoe then." She giggled a bit as Haru listened.

"Yea you'll need you shoes..." He laughed lightly and patted her head. She smiled as she finished off her cereal walking over to the corner of the room pulling on her shoes the back of her shirt coming up showing scars that were still healing. Kyou turned his head away from her he sighed sadly and stood walking to the door waiting on the two to hurry up. She got up along with Haru who beat her to the door. He opened the door and stepped out to the hall and headed toward the main entrance to the hotel/spa they were staying at he wanted to take Tohru out to get her used to the area again he new Haru was probably angry for putting so much trust in Tohru on the 3rd day they had her. She took off ahead of the two, but she stayed in sight as she looked around smiling. Haru folded his arms watching her as she reached for some of the cherry blossoms.

He couldn't help but smile at her as they made there way down the street she acted like a small child. Haru sighed as he reached up picking off a branch for her she smiled kindly looking up to him. "Do you turn into a cat like Kyou-kun?" A few people looked back hearing her.

He quickly shushed her. "Do not mention that ever you are not allowed to say that in public only to people of the family." He spoke nicely not wanting to sound like he was scolding her.

She nodded slowly as she looked down to the flowers. "... In the play are you a cat like Kyou-kun?" She wanted the stares to stop now as she looked to the cow that nodded lightly. He took his hand and ran it through his hair he'd have to tell her about the curse how could he have forgotten he felt so stupid.

The cow pushed her forward. "Come on I'm taking you somewhere special." She smiled happily. He raised a eyebrow and wondered what the Ushi was talking about he followed them quietly. She smiled as they reached the park the cow looking to the cat as the girl wondered over near the pond. He looked around then went back to focusing his attention on Tohru to make sure she stayed out of trouble.

Haru moved standing beside Kyou. "Do you think this is to much on her right now?"

"What do you mean she's just having fun its not like she's doing anything deathtramental." He yawned lightly.

He nodded lightly. "I know, but I'm worried you never told her she wasn't supposed to talk about the curse."

"Well she knows enough now to not talk about it and I can explain to her tonight what it is I'm just afraid that she'll remember that I'm the reason she's like the way she is."

He nodded lightly. "She seems so innocent with all those scars." She started to waddle into the pond now smiling she was only in up to her ankles.

He nodded sadly. "She's so different... Its like she's a imposter in Tohru's body She doesn't even sound the same..." He was studying her from a distance.

Haru nodded sadly. "... Maybe it's better this way for her... We can give her to Shigure-san and Yuki-kun where they can raise her from now on." He rubbed his temple a little aggravated with what he was saying. "... At least she'll be out of harms way and the others in the family like us..."

"We can't just pass her off..." He continued to watch and smiled. "Just because she's different doesn't change anything..."

"... I know, but we just can't keep trying to hide her in a room..." He sat back in the grass as he watched her.

He took a seat next to him and brought his knees up to his chest. "I know... but we have to try to keep her away from the family until we can get her to understand what's going on and I don't just want to throw all of this at her."

"... Then we should just tell her about the curse for now... Don't mention anything about the cage or the cat yet... We don't want her to be saddened or scared of us..."

I don't think shed be scarred of us for that, I think shed be angry because of it being my fault." He began to chew on the bottom of his thumb. "And if we told her about the curse the cat will still come up." he frowned. "She'll figure it out."

"... But she did decide to go in there all on her own as well..." He rubbed his eyes. "... She may seem dunce, but she is starting to understand."

"That's true...and she is coming around she's a bit clingy like Kisa though." He laughed remembering how clingy she was with Haru.

He nodded smiling a bit. "... The only difference between the two is that were the only ones Tohru knows and trusts..."

"Could you see how scared she'd be with Shigure and Yuki especially since all four of us clash in some way." He gave a loud annoyed sigh and buried his face in his hands.

"... With are luck Shigure-san would trick her into marriage."

"Most likely...I'd hate to admit, that damn rat would take good care of her though."

"More then we could ever do for her... Maybe I should go get Yuki-kun so he knows and we can help her adapt to him."

"I can't deal with him right now maybe within the next few days..."

He nodded lightly as Tohru started heading back toward the two boys carrying something in her hands. Before she made it to girls' came up stepping in her pathway a blonde and a girl with long raven hair braided back. "... Looks like trouble..." Haru spoke sitting up quickly.
