Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, but I do SOOOOO own you, because I rock. I posted this right before school, after doing all my homework. I owned you all. It's a Wednesday, too. That makes everything triple hard. ;)
Ha ha, I rock. On ice. I rock on ice. I don't have much time... so read.

"Kyo, KYO!" I heard Momiji's voice shout as his light footsteps ran across the grass to my cage. It was dark out, but I could see tears running down his cheeks in the moonlight. Now I knew something was wrong. He never cried anymore, not after he had finished crying after Tohru's leaving.
"Momiji, what's wrong?" I asked tenderly. I had thought he was annoying at first, but I had learned to love him. Like a brother, that is. He was the closest thing I had to a friend now.
"It's Tohru-chan!" He cried, trying to shake the bars of my window. Then, he did something he never had before. The blonde boy pulled out a key and raced to the door, unlocking it. He slid himself in the little bit that the rusted door actually opened anymore and sat down on the opposite bench, grimacing at my accommodation. Even though the door was still open, I didn't dare go out. I knew that Akito would find out and punish me. At first she had been ruthless, but she tired of bullying me every day. I was such an easy target, I guess it just wasn't a challenge for her, and she likes to be challenged.
"What about Tohru?" I asked calmly, but inside I was bouncing off the walls in fear. What had happened to her!?! What was so bad that Momiji was crying!?!
"She went to the hospital, Hatori was her doctor. They couldn't find any reason why she collapsed! But then," he paused, more tears gushing down his face. "She flat lined! She fat lined, Kyo! For no reason!?! SHE'S DEAD AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY!" Now it was my turn to cry. At first, there was only one tear that slowly made its way down my face. I didn't have many tears left in me; after all I had been put through in here. But then, her face appeared in my mind. Her smiling face. Her beautiful smiling face. Her beautiful smiling face that I loved with all my heart.
And now, I know I'll never see that face again. It's going to be buried in the ground, next to her mother's smiling face. When I die, I won't even be beside her. I'll be in the Sohma graveyard. I was never meant to be with her, it seemed. Now, there was nothing to live for. All my reasons had died with her.
"Kyo, it's all my fault." Momiji said after a long silence that was interrupted only by either of our wracked sobs. "I don't have the curse anymore. It was removed before you graduated." I stared up at him. How was this his fault? How was he removed from the curse? "It should have been you, I stole it from you. I have no one to live for, after all. You have Tohru, but I have no one. Momo and Mama forgot me, so this freedom is worthless."
I uncurled from a fetal position I didn't know I had curled into and patted his blonde hair. "It's not your fault, little guy. Just get out of here, it's germy and you could get caught." Momiji nodded and slipped back out and locked the door, but dropped the key though the barred window.
"It's my token of apology, Kyo. If anyone ever comes to set you free, they will have a way of doing it. I'd just not lock it, but I'm afraid that you'd get in trouble for that." Momiji said. "It's a spare, so no one will notice." Then, he darted off as quick as a startled bunny so he didn't get caught.
"I'll only let someone free me if it's Tohru." I said, and then curled up like a cat again to drift into sleep, and maybe to stay there forever. It's so much kinder than the real world. And maybe if I eventually die in sleep, I can visit Tohru…

"No… Honda-san!" A deep voice said as a long, endless beep reached my ears. Suddenly, my eyes opened and it broke into a beat. Beside my bed, I saw Hatori standing with his head down, tears visible in his eyes. "What?" He asked solemnly, then looked at me.
"Did I just… flat line?" I asked, tilting my head slightly. Right now, I felt absolutely fine, not even out of breath. "I was fine, I had a dream. You were in it…" I trailed off, and Hatori's eyes widened. "Do you know people named Yuki and Kyo? I don't remember who they are, but they were in my dream."
"Of course not, Honda-san. It was a dream, after all. Only a dream…" He said, staring at me. "You know, you're a miracle. Your head had stopped for a solid ten minutes." Hatori then walked over to the foot of my bed and took a clipboard off of it, and put a pair of glasses on, checking a few things off and then nodded his head. "You're free to go as soon as morning comes around. It's a little after midnight now."
"Ok, good." I said, nodding. Then, I went back to sleep, hopefully to not have any weird reams and flat line again.
