Disclaimer: I do not own fruits basket, and I never will. Sorry for the wait, but I have finally found the time, and inspiration to write. Thank you so much to my reviewers: Nausicaa of the Spirits and Nari-chan13!!! There is not much to say, but here is another chapter!

Tohru's Curse

Chapter 31:

Tense Times

As if hearing the words "cure" were like one a million dollars, Hatori shot up, along with almost everyone else, and rushed to the phone.

"Kyo…Kyo are you there?"

"Yeah, uh Hatori the cure to the curse may be worse than we thought…"

"…so…" Hatori tried to get the boy to tell him.

"Its sacrifice, someone must sacrifice their life, for Tohru to live."

Hatori listened in amazement, Kyo was right, this is worse than we thought.

Kyo continued, "Hatori, the doctors think that Akito isn't going to live…"

"I see what you are thinking; you think that maybe Akito might be willing to sacrifice himself for Tohru." Hatori thought to himself, "The chances of Akito sacrificing himself for Tohru are extremely thin to below nothing. He has always hated Tohru, hated everything that she did, and has regretted ever letting her keep her memories. If only he would, then maybe just maybe…"

"Hello, are you still there Hatori?"

"Yes Kyo, do whatever you can to try to get Akito to sacrifice himself, I'll send Shigure, and Ayame out their."

Kyo could here giggle's coming from Ayame and Shigure in the background. Great…

"What if Akito dies while in a coma?"

"Then that's that, but we must try everything."

"Ok," Kyo hung up the phone, and thanked the receptionist, who once again gave him a weird look.

Kyo ran down the hallway to Akito's room, he would watch Akito every second until he was dead.

The seconds ticked by as Kyo watched every move that Akito made. Kyo was tense for the fact that if Akito did not wake up then Tohru would die; she could be dead for all he knew at this very moment. Kyo wished that he could be there with her right now; he wished that he could be up on the roof, laughing with her, and walking to school together even if it was with Yuki. Tohru had done so much for him… She had been there for him when he needed it the most, in all of his forms. She had made him smile, had made him want to live more, he and Yuki didn't fight as much anymore, and they were becoming good friends, him and Yuki. There fighting habits had changed, because of Tohru…

Akito stirred and Kyo brought his attention back to the body on the bed. Akito's eyes blinked open adjusting to the dim lit room.

"Uhh" moaned Akito. "Where the heck am I? What am I doing in a hospitable? Is that Kyo? Why is that mons… wonderful kid there?" Akito wanted to go back to sleep but managed to pull himself together and sit up in the bed.

"Kyo…" was all that Akito could manage. "How long had he been sleeping?"

Kyo finally noticing that Akito was awake walked over to him.

"Akito, come on, Akito are you listening… You must sacrifice yourself…"

It was after that that two minutes later Shigure and Ayame walked in to that room. Kyo nodded and then left to the doorway. He knew that Akito would better listen to Shigure than to him, so he left his post and wandered down the hallway.

After a few minutes of talking, Akito was getting back to his old self.

"Will you just shut up already? I have already made my decision."

Kyo rushed into the room.

"What is this a party?" asked Akito sarcastically.

"Fine I have decided that I w…

Tohru wanted to scream, as hand reached out to hold her, to bring her into the light above.

"I don't want to go, not yet, I want to live with Kyo, and Yuki, and Shigure. I want to live with the Sohma's; I can stand up to anything. You will not take me with you, I will wake up I will…

Sorry that this was really short, I wanted to end it here. Thank you so much for reading, and please review!!! Anyways I know that this may come as a shock, but I am pretty sure that I said there were only a couple more chapters left, and this is one, and the next one is two. SO although I am extremely sorry, but I believe that the next chapter is the last one, unless you want a sequel, which I am willing to do, as long as I get plenty of reviews from my reader's next chapter and this one. I might not end it next chapter, but I think that you can expect it…

Sad that the story is nearing the end….
