I'm really sorry for the long wait. The first time I wrote this, it was perfect! But then before uploading it, I took a break and went to get a soda. When I returned to my room, my dog had knocked my laptop off of my bed, breaking two keys off of it and deleted everything I had written. So... I've been atempting to rewrite this but each time I didn't like the way it turned out. Finally! I came up with something that I didn't hate... it's pretty close to the original.. please enjoy!

I don't own Fruits Basket!


Chapter 2: Anguish

He grabbed his head, was the scene in front of him too much for him?...

The hot tears ran down his face. He was running, trying to find his love again… He cried out for him, wanting to find him more then ever but was pulled to a stop. "Where are you going? Are you lost?"

He dropped to his knees, he couldn't find his love… and was now unable to go on.

"It's our love that's lost." Two hands wrapped themselves around him. They were cold against his skin. "I'll take care of him for us."

"Will… will you go out with me?" A young Haru asked. If his face was any redder, he might have turned into his Zodiac form. His hands shook at his sides as he looked at Yuki. The small rat replied with a few stutters. The young cow couldn't take it much longer… before he got his answer; he turned and ran from the house.

"Remember?"

The teenager starred ahead as the memory came to him. The arms around him gripped him tightly.

"He never cared."

Young Harus eyes overflowed with tears as he ran. He ran until he couldn't run anymore… and then he walked. He looked up at his surroundings, he was lost again. He felt a shiver run up his spine as he heard footsteps coming towards him.

"He just lied."

"Haru, wait!" The young Yuki called out. "Let's spend the day together, Haru."

Haru stopped walking.

"Haru!"

"Haru?"

"Haru!"

Haru opened his eyes. He was on the ground… he must have fallen asleep… standing up?

He shook the thought form his head and looked up at Yuki. The rat was holding a paper bag of groceries in his hands. He shifted the bag into one arm and held out his now free hand. "Are you lost?"

Haru blushed lightly. "No." He lied as he took Yukis hand. The rat acted as if everything was fine… Haru starred at him as he walked behind him. Had Yuki just been using him? Was everything he knew just a lie? Haru put a hand to his forehead. He didn't know what to think.

After seeing Yuki with Kyo… nothing was making sense to him.

A drop of cold rain hit his arm. He lifted his head, taking in the sight of the dark clouds. When had they appeared?

"Haru, would you like to spend tomorrow together?" Yuki asked, he turned his head to look at Haru.

The cow stood there… His mind was screaming at him… He turned his head slightly. "You'd like to keep using me like that, wouldn't you…"

Yuki blinked, "What?"

"You'd like to use me as you please and then leave me for Kyo once you know I'm going to keep my mouth shut, right?" Harus hands tightened into fists. The rat stood there, staring at him. His silence only caused Haru to fall deeper.

He reached out and grabbed Yukis chin. "You've only been playing with my heart."

Yuki quickly pulled away. "Black Haru… You saw us?"

"If Akito found out about you two, what do you think he would do?"

Haru watched as Yukis eyes filled with fear. It some how pleased him. "He would defiantly do more then ban you from seeing Kyo ever again."

"H-haru… Stop it…"

"What are you two doing here?" Kyo walked towards them, acting as if he had just been passing by.

"Kyo…" Yuki looked as though he was desperate to run to the cats side.

"Haru, you're not lost again are you?"

"Shut up."

Kyo raised an eyebrow, rather surprised. It wasn't a normal thing for Haru to go black when he was around Yuki… Kyo seemed to have comprehended the situation at that moment. Not only had Haru found out about their love affair but he was jealous as hell…

"You wouldn't even dare try to break us up because that would mean hurting Yuki."

"I said shut up."

"You would never hurt Yuki because you love him."

"SHUT UP!"

The rain began to fall as if by command of Harus voice. But rain wasn't the only thing that hit the ground. Haru had turned sharply and without giving Kyo a second to react, punched him across the face.

The cat fell to the ground, hitting his head against a rock. Blood began to run down the side of his head, mixing with the rain drops the fell onto him.

Harus hand twitched as he stood there, unsure of what had just happened. He stared down at Kyo. Had he killed him? The cat didn't move and all the color in his face was gone.

For a moment the only sound Haru could hear was the rain. He turned his head to see Yuki screaming. The rat dropped to Kyos side and pulled him close.

It wasn't enough… even if the cat was dead… Yuki still love him and not Haru…
