A/N: Ok, as I think I've said before, I will be starting school tomorrow. And my updates will be on weekends and possibly on Wednesdays.

Enjoy!

I don't own Fruits Basket, just my OC. And the plot line.

The next morning Teresa was standing at the top of the hill above Shigure's house. She sighed, "Lucky me, no one's up yet, at least outside."

Teresa started down the hill and slid silently through the door. Waiting for a moment she listened to see if anyone was up. When she was sure it was silent she quietly made her way upstairs. "Well, well, well, looks who's returned," she whipped around to see Yuki facing her, his arms crossed over his chest.

Teresa's nervous smile faded, "What do you want?"

Yuki looked around and motioned for her to follow him out of the room and into his. "What?" Teresa was annoyed now.

"How could you do that to Miss Honda?! You just blindly beat her and then left!? She didn't even deserve that! Why!? She's a wonderful person and you hurt her!"

"Yuki I don't want to be lectured! I did because I felt that it was necessary! And you have no right to rant me out! You have no idea what I'm stuck with!" Teresa stormed out of the room and retreated to the roof much like her "brother."

By now those who weren't already up were now up and questioning Yuki about it. "So she came back?" Shigure asked.

"Yeah she seemed to be in a bad mood," Yuki sighed.

"She had a reason to do it Yuki, who knows what it's like being Akito's favorite," Haru defended.

"For once I agree with Haru. You shouldn't be bagging on her like that!" Kyo snapped.

"So you're saying it was ok for her to do it stupid cat?"

"I didn't say that ya' damn rat!"

"You implied it."

"I did not!"

"You guys stop fighting! Tohru's waking up," everyone looked at Momiji. And followed him to Tohru's room.

"Miss Honda how do you feel?"

"My side hurts, but- oh I have to make you're breakfast!" she started to get up.

"Tohru you need to stay in bed and get some rest," Shigure reprimanded her.

"Tohru-chan, I'll sit with you to make sure you stay in bed!" Momiji exclaimed proudly sitting on her bed.

"But what about you're food! I have cook, do laundry and-!"

Tohru was cut off by Teresa who stood in the doorway looking at the far wall, "Forget it Tohru, I'll take care of it," she dropped her bag by the inside wall and turned quickly going to the kitchen.

Kyo and Haru followed after her. When they entered the kitchen they saw her standing at the stove putting a few things into a pan, "Did you two need something?"

"Why are you doing this?"

"I caused it, the least I could do for you is cook and whatnot. Besides it's been awhile since I've been able to cook, and I like it," she sighed turning on the rice cooker.

"You don't want to admit you feel bad do you?" Kyo said.

"Stop accusing me!" she turned around facing them, anger in her eyes, "You can't say what I feel! I don't feel bad for her I!-" she slumped down against the counter sitting with her knees up to her chest and her head in her hands. "I don't know what I feel anymore," both guys put an arm around her shoulder, "Akito had messed with me so much I don't think I'm in control half the time! I think it's him controlling my thoughts! Everything I think about is revolved around him, will I have to see him this morning? How long will I stay? How often will he want to see me?! Last night I stayed with him because I wanted someone who went through my pain. I'm turning into him, I don't wanna! Help me," she leaned her head on Kyo's shoulder and just sat there.

"We'll do whatever you want Teresa," Haru told her giving her shoulders a squeeze.

"Yeah," Kyo and Haru looked at each other and made a silent pact, that they would do whatever to protect her from him.

For the rest of the day Teresa was busy with household chores, she was currently taking down the sheets from the line. "Want some help?"

Teresa turned to see Yuki standing there, his hands in his pockets and looking down, "Sure, why not?" Teresa shoved the basket at him as she pulled down the sheets and folded them.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier today."

"That's fine, I understand you were upset about Tohru and all of that," Teresa placed a sheet in the basket.

"Yeah," Yuki took the basket inside and Teresa followed him taking the other basket of laundry in.

After putting everything away Teresa went to the room where Tohru was resting, "Hi Teresa come on in," Tohru sat up a little and smiled.

"Hey. I, uh, came to apologize for hurting you yesterday. I guess I was just uh... was just angry about that you were so happy all the time, While I was miserable. I suppose I was jealous that you have such a good life and I'm stuck with this curse," she glanced up at Tohru.

"I understand, and I so forgive you. I guess it makes sense, and I'll try to not act so happy in the future."

"No, don't try to change just because I got upset that one time. And besides, you seem to make the others happy, I guess I'll just have to accept it," Teresa turned to the door and turned her head towards Tohru, before leaving the room to go the living room where she was going to sleep until Tohru was better. But Tohru didn't know that.
