Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket! I know sad isn't it?

Thanks for reviewing, even though I'm writing this before I've posted chapter 4! But I'm sorry for updating chapter three late. I mean I was going to a week ago, but my disc malfunctioned, and I couldn't find that data for awhile! But now things are okay and I'm updating!

P.S. Cause I'm nice, I'm updating chapter 4 earlier... but I won't update this for a month if I don't see the reviews stumbling in by the dozen!

Tohru stood and watched Yuki run into the house. Frantic with fear, she began to pace back and forth, her hands in her hair as she wracked her brain for ideas on what to do.

"Tohru?" Kisa called out. She watched as Tohru stopped and turned to face her. "Are you okay?"

"Uh, not really." She said, her mind still racing. She turned to look at Hatsuharu, whom happened to be with Kisa. "There was a scream. Someone's in the house, and Yuki went in."

"You sure it wasn't a scream of passion?" he asked.

"Positive."

"Well stay here with Kisa. I'll go check on things.

While Tohru and Kisa stood outside, Yuki was sprinting up the stairs towards Kyo and Arisa's room. The door was already open and he took it as a sign that someone was in there, other than Kyo and Arisa. He ran in and was greeted with a shrill, blood curdling scream, and a hard punch in the jaw.

When Haru heard the scream, he hurried his pace up and ran up the stairs two at a time. He didn't stop to think about consequences, and ran into the room. He heard a scream and fell into an abyss of darkness.

The two girls mustered up their courage and ran in together, holding hands. They sped up when they heard the second scream and stopped at the door to Arisa's room. Slowly, Tohru stepped in with Kisa behind her. She stopped when she saw Haru, Yuki and a blond figure lying motionless on the floor. She looked up and saw Arisa with a robe clutched to her front.

"Are you okay?" Tohru asked, looking around for any intruder.

"Yeah, only, these guys barged in on me while I was getting dressed."

"Oh, so that's why you screamed." Kisa said as she knelt down beside the blond. "Hey is this Momiji?" she asked.

"Seems like it." Arisa said as she pulled on her robe.

"Strange." Tohru said as she knelt beside Yuki. She saw that he was beginning to stir. She sat him up right and dabbed at the small trickle of blood from his mouth. When he opened his eyes, Tohru sighed in relief.

"Are you okay Yuki?"

"Yeah, but god, Arisa did you have to punch so hard?" he asked, rubbing his sore jaw.

"Well you did walk in on me naked." She said.

"Well I thought that someone had broken into the house." He said.

"Well someone did barge in." She said as she pointed to the blond heap.

"Is that Momiji?" Yuki asked.

"Yeah." Kisa said, now beside Haru, whom was waking up.

"DAMN!" he shouted. " That fucking hurt!"

"Well you should knock before entering!" Arisa said.

"Ung." Momiji groaned out. "Where am I?"

SMACK DOWN!

"Why are you here, you stupid little rabbit!" Kyo shouted.

"Wahhhh, somebody! Kyo's hitting me!"

"Shut up!" he shouted out.

"Uh… dude, the mouse is totally out of the house." Haru said.

"Damn, I didn't want to see that!" Yuki said as he covered Tohru's eyes.

"Yeah, I mean we don't need to see your pubes man." Haru said, shoving Kisa's head against his chest, making sure that she didn't see this part of Kyo.

" Yeah and your pubes are totally nasty. I mean they're glowing bright orange." Yuki said, snorting with disgust.

"Well at least it's not as bad as Haru's." Kyo said. "His are black and white."

"Man, black and white are as apparent against the skin, unlike your orange pubes!"

"Can we please stop talking about your pubes!" Arisa asked as she tossed Kyo a pair of blue boxers.

Once Kyo's trunks were on, the other guys took their hands off of their chicks eyes so they could see.

"Hey, back to Momiji." Tohru said. "Why are you here?" she asked.

"I wanted to see you guys. I heard that Hari is gonna marry Saki, and that Ayame and Mine are having a baby." He said, trying to smile. It didn't work to well, since Tohru could tell he was tired. She saw the dark bags under his eyes, and how pale his skin was. She also noticed some strange bruises on his body.

"Hey guys, let's talk about this later." She said. "Let's get Momiji to bed, so we can all have energy for tomorrow."

When Tohru got Momiji settled into the guestroom, she sat down on the bed with him. "Momiji, you can tell me why you're really here."

"I'm here to tell my mom that I'm her real son. Ya know since the curse was broken, I think that it's safe."

"Really?" she asked, not sure if that was the real reason. He had a strange sound in his voice.

"I don't have much time either." He said quietly.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"I've been gone. I've been in Germany getting treatment." He said. "I have leukemia."

"What?"

"Yeah, and I've gone through many different kinds of Chemotherapy. I was told that I now only have a few months left. The treatments are working against the level of pathogens in my blood."

"Momiji." Tohru said as she took a deep breath. "You still have a full head of hair." She said.

"It's a wig." He said as she whipped off his fake cap of blond hair. He sighed. "Please don't make a big deal about this." He said. "I just want to spend time with Mama before my time is up." He said.

"Okay." She said. "I'll leave you be." She said quietly as she left the room.

Once she was dressed for bed, Tohru curled up in bed, her knees drawn up against her chest. She sighed before she let the floodgates open. She cried her heart out. She cried for Momiji and the fear that was in both his heart and her own. She cried because he didn't deserve it.

When he walked into the room, Yuki ran over to Tohru. "What's wrong?" he asked. He heard her whimper and mumble, but he couldn't hear what she was saying. Finally when he calmed her down enough, he heard her quiet voice say, "Momiji is dying from leukemia." She said.

"Oh god." He said, pain in his voice. "Oh honey, it's okay. You know Hatori will help him. We'll all be there for him. You know it in your heart that we won't give up." He said as he rocked her back and forth. After awhile he heard her breathing even out. He looked down and saw that her damp face was relaxed and that she was sleeping. Smiling softly, he tucked her under the covers. He turned the lights off and wrapped his arms around her, before he too fell asleep.

A/N: This one isn't as good at the one I had before, but this will have to do. I have an idea that might make you love me even more. Well the Momiji lovers! Well please read and review and enjoy! I love you all!
