Disclaimer: I do not own fruits basket. I am extremely SORRY. It has been a week since I updated or has it been more (almost faints.)

Anyways thank you SO much to my REVIEWERS: Nausicaa of the Spirits, Midnight Shadows Starlight, Nari-chan13, and Serinity's angel! You are all the best! Well here is another chapter of Tohru's curse. Sorry if it is confusing I wrote ¾ of it last week and the rest today…
Tohru's Curse
Chapter 22:
Decision
Akito was mad, how dare someone ignore him. He was head of the huge Sohma family; and was a master to more than just Juuinishi. Akito started to talk again, "What are your people's problem? Why are you staring at the bathtub?" Akito walked over to the bathtub and looked in. His eyes grew wide and then a smirk appeared on his face. Hehe, this was the worst, what did that monster do to her? He then looked up again and saw Kyoko. He was speechless. This was the women that he killed. The women that from his anger died, an innocent woman. Akito pushed the thought out of his head and took the smirk off of his face. There was only one person who could help her. He didn't know who, but there was only one single person that could help her.
That one person was Katsuya at the moment. He truly was the only one that could save his daughter's life. It was his time to shine, and it was his last chance. He slowly became visible in the bathroom. Kyoko was the first to notice him, and ran over to him with tears in her eyes. He was here! He was here to help his wonderful daughter. Katsuya walked over to the tub, and lifted the bones out of it. He whispered something into the bones and them cradles them like a baby. Then he smacked it so hard that it practically fell apart. Uo screamed at the sight, but Hana held her back. This man, Tohru's dad, Kyoko's husband, Katsuya knew what he was doing and he had to do it if they wanted Tohru to live. Katsuya once again whispered something into the bones and they fidgeted. Akito walked over to him, and whispered something into his ear. He was telling him what to say. Katsuya repeated the words, and then walked over to Kyo, and told him to say something to the bones. He did the same for Uo, Hana, and his wife Kyoko. Then lastly he walked over to Akito and handed the bones to him.
As Katsuya walked over to Akito, Akito couldn't help but thinking, "This is my chance, I could kill her off with the slip of my hand, or turn into a nicer person try to make up for my mistakes and the troubles that I have given Tohru." What Akito would decide can only be determined by his next action.
It had been many days since Shigure and Yuki had seen either Kyo or Tohru. Yuki had started to worry when he found out that Uo and Hana were gone and that no one knew where Tohru was. Shigure, who was laughing at the idea before of Tohru and Kyo missing, was starting to grow worried. What could have happened to them? He had also heard from the main house that Akito was gone, missing too. Had he gone after them? Had he gone to take Kyo back to confinement? Had he gone to hurt Tohru more than she already is? Is Tohru okay? Many questions were running through Shigure's and Yuki's head. They both had wished that Akito had never bothered to put a curse on Tohru. If Yuki and Kyo had gone then things might have been alright. Yes they would have left Tohru home, but it would have been better than the position they are in now. They would have had Tohru at home, and Kyo wouldn't be missing either. He might be in deep danger, and what if either of them transforms? The question re-traveled through their heads, What if they transformed?
Tohru was slipping she wouldn't hold on much longer. She felt as though she was drowning. Then she would be pulled up again then dunked under. She was having a hard time breathing, (although she did not have any lungs) and was very fragile.
Kyo finished sulking and walked out of the bathroom to get some fresh air. He turned around and saw Akito about to grab Tohru. Then he turned around so fast that he almost didn't realize it. Then with a sudden burst of energy he ran into the bathroom.
Akito's evilness took over him and his hand "accidentally" slipped. Tohru fell not knowing of the sure death that would become of her. When all of the sudden Kyo caught Tohru; preventing her from death. Kyo prevented her from sure death but not himself for he slid across the open floor right into the bathtub.
I think that was a pretty good length chapter, but not as long as it should be. I hope to update faster now that it is the weekend. Well please review, and I am sorry once again for not updating in forever.
