Yuki's POV

A couple of minutes passed before anyone said anything because Tohru was so overcome with joy no one dared to interrupt it.

"Oh, I almost forgot! Dinner's ready everyone!" Tohru told everyone.

"All right! Lets eat, hey stupid rat, I bet that I'll beat you to the table first!" Kyo said with fire in his eyes while looking at Yuki.

"Maybe later, you stupid cat." Yuki said, a little sad for some reason.

"There they are at it again and we've only been here for a couple of minutes." Shigure muttered.

"Well if Yuki won't take you on, Kyo, then I'll just have to make him by calling him by his nickname." Hatsuharu said cunningly.

"Haru…" Yuki said warningly.

"I'll do it. I really will. On three." Hatsuharu taunted.

"Haru, don't do it." Yuki said.

"One." Hatsuharu counted.

"Don't you dare." Yuki warned him.

"Two." Hatsuharu counted.

"Fine. I'll beat you to the kitchen, Kyo! Let's go!" Yuki shouted out to him, his sadness forgotten.

"All right! That's the spirit! You're on!" Kyo said as they both raced each other into the kitchen.

"D-don't mess up the food." I said worriedly.

I followed them into the kitchen, worried about the food, and what they might try to do to it in their race.

Shigure's POV

"Be careful!" I warned Tohru as she quickly went after them into the kitchen.

"I will!" She yelled to me as she entered the kitchen.

"Hmm… I wonder…" I heard Hatsuharu wonder to himself.

"What is it, Haru?" I asked him while looking at him.

"Well I was wondering, Hatori, while you were with her did you happen to find any identification about who she is, or who her parents could possibly be?" Hatsuharu asked him.

"No, although I did search her pockets, and all that I found was this." He said to Hatsuharu and I as he pulled something from his own pocket and handed it to me.

I took it from him and looked at it.

It was a piece of paper I realized as I turned it over to see writing.

"Hey, it's got writing on it. Tohru, Yuki, Kyo you all might want to hear this!" I called out to them.

As soon as they heard me say it they all came walking casually into the living room.

"Hmm, lets see…" I said as I started reading the note to myself.

"Ah!" I gasped at what words the paper held.

"What is it, Shigure?" Hatsuharu asked.

"Well let's just say that you all will want to sit down before I read this out loud." I told everyone seriously.

I looked over at Hatori as everyone sat down, and saw that he had a grim face, which told me that he had all ready read it as soon as he discovered it in the girl's pocket.

"Wait, where's Kisa?" I asked Tohru.

"Oh! Well her mom called and she had to go home because it was getting late." Tohru said.

Good, I know that if she had to hear this she would never be the same I thought to myself as I held the paper up to my eyes and started reading the cruel, painful words that it held.

"To my one and only daughter, honey I love you. I really do, I love you with all of my heart, unlike your father. Even when your father and I beat you, endlessly at times I still love you. But you hate your father and I for beating you, don't you? I know you do, I can see the hatred in your eyes, and the fear of us in you're pain and when you cry out, but no one except us can hear you. I'm sorry that I beat you, it's my only way of showing you love, it my only way of loving you instead of hugging you, or kissing your head, or cuddling with you when you're sick. Instead your father and I beat you when you are sleeping and then you always wake up and start crying, instead when you get home from school we always grab you and start beating you as soon as you walk in the door, instead of kissing your head your father and I kick you in your head, instead of cuddling with you when you're sick your father and I make you stand up and then we beat you for what seems like forever to you. I see you often huddling in a corner after your father and I beat you. You huddle in that corner for your life, like your about ready to give up and then your strong will and your hope that someone will come and find out what your father and I are doing to you and that they'll come and save you and make us stop. Well they won't, they never will. You tried to tell everyone around you and no one believed you. They left you all alone, and when your father and I found out that you had been trying to tell people about what we were doing you just ended up getting a much bigger and longer beating for doing that. You cry quietly in your room and hope for a way to end this terrible nightmare once and for all, but you can't. You've tried running away, but your father and I always find you, then we take you back home and beat you until you're almost dead. We always beat you until you're almost dead. You'll never escape, you can't, not in your condition, you're all alone. Even if you do manage to escape you will carry the painful memories of each beating, and you will live each and everyday in fear. I will always love you, Mother." I said painfully, trying not to let tears escape my eyes.

I looked up from the note to see Tohru crying, Yuki comforting her with a sad expression on his face, Kyo looking away, then I turned to look at Hatsuharu.

He slumped down to the floor with a devastated look on his face.

I can't begin to imagine what she went through I thought sadly to myself as I let the note slip through my fingers and fall to the floor and I walked over to where Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru were sitting.

Yay! Finished with this chapter! Although the note is really, really sad. I was listening to a sad song when I was typing it. I also take requests for songfics, one shots, or stories. It doesn't have to be Fruits Basket, it can be something else, if you would like to request something then either say it in your review or pm me. I'd be happy to do a request for you! R & R please!
