Anyways thank you to the reviewers for Chapter 5: Nari-chan13 and year of da cat fanclub I really enjoyed having your reviews. On with Chapter 6…

Tohru's Curse:

Chapter 6

Dead or Alive?

They all stared at what used to be a human, then rice ball, then green moldy blob. It was now a skeletal figure of what they guessed was a cursed Tohru. They all stood there shocked, while many thoughts raced through their heads.

Is she dead?

What happened?

Is there anything that we can do?

This is horrible!

Why Tohru?

I don't understand?

"Even is she is dead, the least we could do is make her look like what she was when she was first transformed," said Hiro trying to feel sad, but he couldn't feel it coming.

"You know that might just work, maybe that will get her back to that stage at least," said Hatori thinking it over.

They all crowded around the rice pot wondering what was going to happen. Kyo was up now, woken by the racket of the Sohmas and had taken over the job of doing the rice. Although he did not show it Kyo was really happy to do this, it meant him doing something for Tohru for once, and that stupid rat couldn't do anything about it.

As Kyo molded the rice ball around Tohru she started to take shape. He hoped that she wouldn't be stuck like this forever. It was then that it happened…

Main House

Kureno had not gone with the rest of the Juuinishi to Shigure's Home, he would have liked to, but he knew that if Akito found out he would be stuck at the main house for the next three years, never aloud to leave the gates. He'd rather not risk it. It was seconds later that he realized that he had made the right decision. A young maid came running up to him.

"Master Kureno, Akito wishes to speak with you immediately." Said the young maid panting, trying to catch her breath.

"Thank You," said Kureno blandly, as he walked off towards Akito's Room.

I wonder what Akito could possibly want now. It sure is a good thing that I did not go with the others. Did Akito find out that everyone knew about him being the one that laid a curse on Tohru?

"Akito, it's me, Kureno," said Kureno still half lost in his thoughts.

"Yes, come in my loyal servant," Said Akito with a smirk across his face, "sit down, make yourself comfortable, I have something very important to tell you."

Kureno walked into the room shut the door and sat down sitting on the back of his shins. (I didn't know if that was called something different, but he was sitting like they did in the anime when with Akito.)

"How are you Kureno," asked Akito politely.

"Fine, how about you, how has your health been treating you," said Kureno keeping a strait face.

"That is none of your business Kureno, I did not ask you, and now on to what I was meaning to talk to you about,"Akito started, "how much do you know about Tohru Honda?"

"Nothing much, lets see, I met her at the summer house, and..." Kureno stopped. He had forgotten about his secret surprise visit with Tohru at the main house, and that Akito knew nothing about it. He had also never told anyone about his secret visit with Arisa Uotani. "And, that is about all I have seen of her, except a few glimpses of when she was at the main house."

"Well, you do not know that much about her, so I will explain to you the torture this women has caused the Sohma family. She knows about our secret, and has even had recent thoughts of breaking it" Akito stopped, he started laughing his evil laugh, " she wants them to be free to do as they please, and you remember, we told her about the monsters confinement, she wants to prevent that too." Akito said all of this in between laughs. Finally he came to a stop and put on a serious face, "Kureno, can you keep a secret, a very big secret?" asked Akito, more serious looking than ever before.

"Yes, Akito, I can keep a secret," said Kureno wondering why Akito was asking.

"Kureno, I if you haven't already found out, am the one who cursed Tohru," hissed Akito.

So Momiji wasn't lying, how could Akito do something so cruel. Well I guess the fact is he is cruel, thought Kureno.

Kureno placed a shocked expression on his face.

"Kureno, why are you so surprised, I told you at the New Years Celebration, I had something in mind for Tohru. She is taking my servants away from me, and I do not like that," Akito said, then his anger rose, "She deserved such a thing, she is nothing compared to ME!" screamed Akito.

It took a few minutes for Akito to calm down.

"What I am trying to say Kureno," Akito stopped coughed and continued, "can you keep a secret as large as the answer to make that stupid women change back?"

I am so mean, I am sorry. But you will have to wait till I update the next chapter. Oh and in your reviews, which I hope you write, could you please say if you prefer a KyoxTohru, or a YukixTohru, this may determine the plot of the next few chapters… Please Review, I love reviews, I now realize why so many people like reviews, I don't mind if there short or long, but the fact of the matter is I want to know if you are reading and enjoying my story, there won't be a next chapter unless I get at least 5 reviews, so all of you that want another chapter, please review. Am I begging to hard, I might post I might not, depends on my mood and brain. And if any of you aren't reviewing because for some odd reason you don't want you name posted, just right in your review telling me not to…Anyways I hope you enjoyed chapter 6 of Tohru's Curse. Oh and thanks to all of those people who put me on their favorites.
