Hehe, I got reviews last chapter. And there will be MAJOR spoilers for many books in this chapter.

Kyo: Dammit, can you give a hint about couples?

Me: Oh, fine, it's either going to be Kyo, Yuki, Haru, or Momiji.

Kyo: Hey! That's no hint!

Me: Well, I don't want to give away the ending! Disclaimer.

Kyo: Damn. She doesn't own Fruits Basket or anything but this plot! Ready…? BEGIN!

Oh, what am I going to do?

Kisa and Kagura had joined Arisa, Hana, and Tohru to discuss Tohru's problem. Only Kisa and Kagura knew the truth, that it was Akito and not Tohru's grandfather. "Who should I choose?"

"Let's see," said Arisa. "You should pick a man who kicks major ass. Someone who will punch a guy's lights out of you're insulted. Like Kyo or Haru."

"You should pick one that would understand you and love you deeply," said Hana smiling. "Someone who will comfort you when you're sad and lonely. Someone who will be your prince charming. Like Yuki or Momiji. Of coarse, getting married to Momiji may be difficult because of his height."

"Make sure he's near your age," said Kagura who was having trouble with the fact that Arisa had suggested Kyo. "Only a year difference at most."

"That leaves only four people," said Kisa quietly. "And I guess that Kyo's out."

"You should pick Haru," said Arisa. "Hello, he's cool and really hot and ass kicking. And he's only a year younger than you."

"I think you should pick Yuki," said Hana kindly. "After all, you are a princess who needs her prince charming."

"Momiji is kind," whispered Kisa. "I know that he will love you truly for who you are."

"Well," said Kagura sighing. "I would suggest Kyo, but I can't let him go, I'm sorry. But Kyo is kind when you get past his angry side."

"Are we still going to be friends?" asked Kisa.

"Of coarse," said Tohru, hugging Kisa. "The only difference is that hopefully I'll just be married."

Meanwhile, Shingure sat in the kitchen. So then those four are her potential bachelors. He wrote Yuki, Kyo, Haru, and Momiji's names on a piece of paper. Hehe, I'll take score. Let's see how my results show.

The doorbell rang. Shingure moved over to the door. Haru and Momiji walked in. "Hey Shingure," said Haru coolly. "We're staying over for the month. Got a problem?"

"Nope," said Shingure smiling. Hehe, these boys won't let Tohru go without a fight.

"I'm camping with Tohru!" said Momiji starting up the stairs, but having Haru pull him back.

"Momiji, give Tohru some space," he said with only a hint of jealousy in his voice. "She needs to make a tough decision." Under his breath, he murmured, "You're too short. Let someone else have her."

"But you only want her because you're afraid you won't get anyone after that breakup with Rin," said Momiji who was angry with Haru wanting Tohru for himself. "Let some who actually likes her have her."

"Oh ho, ho," said Shingure. "Haru can camp with Yuki and Momiji can stay in my room because Kyo will hurt him."

"Oh, okay," said Momiji. "But tomorrow I'll go on a picnic with Tohru!"

"Correction, we'll all go on a picnic with Tohru," said Haru coolly. Usually he got along with Momiji most of the time, but he would be damned if Momiji had her to himself.

Meanwhile, Kyo lay on the roof alone. So Tohru's is getting married, he thought. And probably she'll marry one of the zodiac. After all, she doesn't know many out of the zodiac. But whom will she pick?

Kyo felt himself lightly blushing. Will she pick me? Am I being greedy? Is wanting her to pick me lust? Am I acting like a spoiled child, wanting Tohru to pick me because I've almost never had anything in my life? Oh please, if there is a god, let Tohru pick the right person. Let her choose the man that will make her happy, even if it isn't me.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Meanwhile, Haru was dragging his suitcase upstairs. But as he heard Tohru's voice his thoughts drifted towards her. What is Tohru to me? He wondered. Is she simply a girl? Or is she much more? Is she simply someone who lives in my cousin's house? Or is she my light in the darkness? Is she just someone I know? Or is she the only woman I would like to spend the rest of my life with?

And can I just loose these feelings about Rin? Can I forget the time we spent together? Can I discard Rin for Tohru? I loved Rin, but I think that I love Tohru as well. That time when we first met, that first hug, did it possibly mean more than the time I first met Rin, that time I hugged Rin?

All I know is that I love Tohru and I won't let her slip through my fingers so easily.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Yuki was also thinking about Tohru. He hadn't stopped thinking about her for a long time. In fact, he had been thinking about her since leaving Ayame's shop.

I know I love her, he thought. After all, I did kiss her. I love her so much; it's almost painful. And I was that boy in the hat she remembers. But how can I release these feelings without hurting her? And how will she react?

And am I ready to get married? I know I love Tohru, but can I handle being married? But she has to get married either way, so either I choose to get married or I lose Tohru forever. I know what I have to do. I won't lose Tohru without a fight!

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Meanwhile, Momiji was setting up his sleeping bag. I guess everyone thinks that I'll lose, because I'm so short. It's not fair, does that mean that whenever they want a girl, I won't have a chance at love? But do I actually love Tohru? She's so nice and kind. I don't think that honestly I could live without her. But does that mean love or simply nothing at all?

But what would the others do to her? Let's see, with Haru, I'm worried that she'll end up pregnant for the next several years. With Kyo, he may accidentally hurt her. And with Yuki, he may respect her, but the fan girls may also hurt her. And what would happen if we were married? Well, I wouldn't try to get her pregnant until she's in a good job, I don't tend to get angry, and I don't have a fan club to destroy her.

Does that mean that she would be better off with me? Is this being egotistical? Or is it greed or even lust? I don't want Tohru to get hurt, ever. And the only way to guarantee her safety is to win.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Me: Okay, a short chapter, but next we actually get into day one!

Yuki: Can't you give us a tiny hint?

Me: Of coarse not! You'll just have to guess. Well, please review.
