Just one little push

Summary: Akito pushes Rin out the window and Haru pushes Petal out the window. It takes just one little push from someone to make you fall. Rin Haru, Spoilers and an Akito spoiler.

Disclaimer: I do not own fruits basket. I only own Jakumoto Petal and her sister Jakumoto Yoruko. Petal has now upset Haru by mentioning Rin. Can she calm him down? What was her task in the first place, she realises it was different to what she thought.

A Talk With Yuki

"Run" I cried to Yoruko "No time to explain" we ran for it, I really couldn't face an angry Souma; I didn't think my nerves would take it.

"What was that all about?" Yoruko panted from behind me.

"Soz" I replied, "I just couldn't take his anger at the moment, do you really mean for us to go back to the main house?"

"Yes, of course, we have to get…"

"I just really have to talk to Yuki" I said solemnly, Yuki had been a big help, he brought me to Rin and he was in the memory with her and he had just saved us from Souma Akito, but the way he had been before so deep in thought to realise that we were there, then just left us when we exited the compound. Was he still dwelling on what I was trying to tell him? No one just walking by could have seen her fall out the window.

"Yuki? That guy who escorted us out?" Yoruko asked curiously. "Why do you have to talk to him?"

"I think he would be helpful" I said slowly. But that was not what I really thought, was it? I just wanted to know if he accepted me, I had to make him listen to the whole story. I was just making plans when Yoruko cut into my thoughts.

"He's the one you attempted to tell, isn't it." Yoruko sighed

I turned away from her; I couldn't bear to look at her face. "Let's go home" we walked home, Yoruko had some inscrutable look on her face but I barely noticed because I was too busy planning what I was going to do tomorrow. I was determined to talk to Yuki. He needed to know, he needed to accept. I needed him to accept.

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

I waited for him for he had council duties. As he came into the entrance to put his dirty shoes on I rushed over. "Can I talk to you? There's something I need to tell you"

"Yes" he said politely.

Yes I thought, now how am I going to explain. I really needed to sit down. "Err, can we go to my house, or your house, or to the park, or…"

"I think it would be fine if you came to my house" said Yuki in his polite tone that I had become fond of. We walked to his house; it was a really nice walk, as we had to go through a slightly wooded area. "I live with my cousins Souma Kyou and Souma Shigure and also Honda Tooru"

"Huh" I said coming out of my daydream, it had been so nice to walk beside him, with his presence, although sad, it was also kind of comforting.

"Yer, erm Shigure is okay really but he can act a bit perverted at times."

"Okay" I said as reach the front door. We went into the kitchen and Yuki offered me a drink, it looked like no one was in.

We went and sat in the front room at the low table, Yuki laid out two cups and a tea pot, he began to pour. Now was the time for me to spill my guts. I sipped at my tea trying to think of how to put my err 'gift'. Yuki was drinking also and he had a confused expression on his face as if he was trying to remember something that had happened recently but now was unsure if it had actually happened.

"You know Rin?" I asked cautiously.

Yuki broke out if his thoughts. "Yes" he said slowly. "Was it her you wanted to talk about?"

"A bit about her, you see, I have this gift and I see things happen to people and I have to help them. That is why I saw Rin fall out the window." That was easier to explain than I thought, it was actually quite simple, but now was the time to see how Yuki would react would he believe me or would he think I was snooping like we were yesterday and I was just trying to cover it up.

Yuki thought for a moment and said "What were you doing at the main house yesterday and what did Akito-san want with you?"

Well he obviously wanted to know why we were there, it's not like a lot of outsiders went in there, Akito had made that clear "I don't know what Akito had wanted with us, but we were looking for Haru because he is close to Rin and we thought he might know something but we ended up in the wrong place and Akito saw us and I fainted and Hatori came and then we did meet Haru but he got angry" I finished there because I was just rambling on, did Yuki even know what I was talking about?

"I see, Rin is not one who would accept help easily, how is it that you have to help her"

"I don't know" I never thought about that I just supposed that I had to, I didn't suppose anything.

"I want to help you" he sounded like he had a double meaning like he was keeping watch over me or something, but I didn't think of that I just thought, yay, prince Souma is helping me.

"Thank you so much" I replied

"It's nothing" he replied smiling sweetly.

"What's nothing" came an irritated voice from the hallway.

"Your nothing, you stupid cat" Yuki tone had just gone rude, you could hear the loathing in his voice, or was it something different, like bitterness.

"I will have to excuse myself now because my sister will be wondering where I am" I felt like I was intruding.

Yuki walked me to the door. "It was a pleasure having your company"

"Why the hell was she here" was what I heard as I walked away from the house. Didn't the rash Souma have any tact or could he at least keep his voice down.

End Note: Yuki is thinking about the hug and if it really happened or not. Petal can't read minds but she is good at guessing people's train of thoughts. I wanted to write more but I'm not quite sure what I am going to put next. I know how it ends. Haru and Rin get together and I have kind of written the epilogue and I have a sequel as well. Soz for no Rin or Haru in this chapter or the last chapter, it's like I completely went of task. Next chapter The Party, Petal invites everyone to party so she can play match maker with Rin and Haru.
