Disclaimer: I do not own fruits basket. Doesn't everybody hate homework! I am going to try to start updating possibly every one or two days, depending on the review outcome that is. Anyways thanks to my reviewer: Nausicaa of the Spirits, Nari-chan13, alchemistgrl09, and nekokazam. You are all the best for reviewing, and for doing it so soon : ). I forgot to put this in the last chapter, so I will put it up now. Thank you nekokazam for giving me an idea for my last chapter. I had put that in the summary, but that's not permanent so there. Well onward with the next chapter.

Tohru's Curse

Chapter 18:

Food or Friend

Kyo looked longingly at the tub with Tohru in it. She really looked tasty. Kyo's mouth was watering for a taste, when he came back to reality. Why couldn't he stop wanting to eat her. Great he couldn't think if he was this hungry and this tired. (It had started raining about 10 minutes ago.) There was no way he could help Tohru if he couldn't think. Kyo shot up at a thought that popped into his mind, Tohru started to rot when she was a rice ball what will happen when she is a fish? Kyo groaned, this was getting harder by the minute…

Akito was in pure panic, what was he going to do? Say no and risk her finding out and getting zapped, or say yes and getting zapped a little less right now. Akito thought about his choices for sometime and then answered "Hana your question was did I kill Kyoko right?"

"Yes, now give me an answer"

"Well then, ok…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyoko was still in shock from her dream when her husband came up to her with a worried face. "Kyoko, Tohru needs, she needs you now more than ever. She needs your help in fighting this curse and to help the other Sohma's."

"Katsuya, you don't understand, this family is related to man that killed me."

"There not the problem; it was that evil Akito, not them."

"Huh, how did you know that it was Akito?"

"Well you see I have these eyes and they see, I was watching over you and Tohru just like you watch over Tohru now."

Kyoko knew that he was telling the truth and couldn't help but smile at her husband.

"I just don't understand," She said as she got up from the chair she was sitting in, "Ok what is the problem now, with Tohru's curse I mean.

"Kyoko, she's a fish."

Kyoko stood there shocked for a while. "How the heck did she turn into a fish?"

"Well," Katsuya started, "It all happened when she ran away…"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyoko was getting prepared to go back to Earth; she needed to help her daughter. She couldn't stand to see her suffer like this; it was pure evil, and all thanks to that Akito. Kyoko said goodbye to her husband and left to go to help Tohru.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"… I killed Kyoko."

This time it was Hana's eyes that grew wide. Then she got angry, very angry, that must have been what he was dreaming about! Now, now Kyoko is dead, and Tohru is living with people related to the killer of her family! Should I tell Tohru, or maybe it is best that I didn't tell her, she is just so happy with them, I would hate to break up that bond. And Shigure, Yuki and Kyo all seem a whole lot nicer than this man. Oh, this is just getting to confusing; I can almost not hold back the tears. I can't believe that Akito…AKITO! Hana shocked him so hard that she almost killed him, and you could hear his scream from a mile away. Hana dashed out of the window, and out of the main house, and out of the street into her house, into her bedroom, into her bed, underneath her covers, and into a deep sleep.

Akito was terrified, he had no idea that girl could produce a shock that large. Hatori rushed into the room and ran to Akito, mumbling something about the time. "Hatori," Akito said hoarsely, "Please hurry, I need to go somewhere." A few hours later he was ready to go, and got in his car kept in the main house, and sped towards the place he had seen in his dream, while Hatori was fixing him. He had known that he had to go somewhere before Hatori came, but now he knew where.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo thought for a long time, over a day at least, before he thought that maybe he should sleep on the thought. But then he realized he couldn't leave Tohru alone in a form like this. Kyo's mind was about to explode right when Kyoko popped up. Kyo had seen her once before, he remembers now, but he still forgot most of it. "Who are you?"

"I am Tohru's mother, Kyoko."

When the greetings were settled Kyoko started to tell Kyo what to due to help Tohru, since she couldn't touch things for to long without being sent back up.

Kyo had to peel off the fish meat that was starting to rot and replace it. Kyoko had expected something to happen, and when it didn't…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Akito pulled up to a hotel, and walked into it. He ignored everyone in it and walked to a door labeled #101. He didn't bother to knock; he just opened it up and stood in the doorway. He stepped forward and turned his head to the left. There, through the doorway, was a boy with vibrant orange hair, and a lady, slightly see through, also with orange hair, leaning over a bathtub…

Lots of cliff hangers, I'll try to update soon, probably in the next two days, depending on your reviews. I am losing ideas; please help me by sending ideas in your reviews for the story. Please review, I just love them so much, and please enjoy reading my story, tell me if I am doing anything wrong, or if I am doing anything good, it doesn't matter, it's the fact that you reviewed that counts. Thanks for reading,
