O.O

"Yuki-kun, we've arrived," There was no answer except for the light snoring of the boy in the backseat of the black convertible. Sighing, the doctor exited the convertible and opened the door leading to the backseat. He shook Yuki carefully to avoid any morning attacks. The boy being shaken blinked groggily and shook his head. With half-lidded eyes, he unbuckled his seatbelt. Hatori moved aside and closed the driver's door. When he looked up he saw Yuki who had somehow was able to fall asleep by leaning on the door.

'I can't blame him. It is five in the morning' The man thought as he gently shook the boy again. This time he was successful in waking up the rat. This action earned him a death glare. The violet* eyed teen spat out ungracefully:

"Why are we here so early? I knew we were coming, but not this early," Hatori simply turned from the teen and said:

"It was to prevent all your friends from coming along. You didn't want their memories erased right?" The doctor felt the teen's glare soften. The sound of crunching leaves followed as the two walked inside the inner circle of the main house. Yuki's strides became smaller unconsciously.

'Maybe this won't be so bad. Maybe Hatori won't tell Akito about more outsiders learning about the curse. If that's what will happen, Akito will probably be happy that I'm visiting.' The silver haired teen convinced himself that his thoughts were the most likely situation. Staring at his moving feet, he accidentally crashed into the taller male who had stopped in front of him. Yuki who was now on the floor stared at the two figures laid in front of him.

"Haru? Why are you outside so early?"

"I was here to see you. I saw you from my window," Haru replied as he helped Yuki up from the ground, "Why are you here?" Hatori saw Yuki struggle to explain the situation and intervened.

"He's here to speak with Akito-sama," When the boy heard the name of the family head, his gave a glare.

"Why? What business do you have with that bastard?" Haru replied in a harsh tone. The dual-haired boy was in between his black and white states.

"Something very important Hatsuharu-kun. Now come along Yuki-kun, we don't want to keep Akito-sama waiting," Hatori said turning from the two teens. He was halted when he felt a strong grip on his left wrist.

"I'm coming with you. No exception's Hatori-san," Hatsuharu told the man slowly to show his seriousness about the situation at hand. The doctor sighed and nodded his head. Haru removed his hand and instead interlaced it to the silver haired boy next to him. He looked down and saw the boy smiling slightly. It wasn't a particularly large smile, but it was a real one nonetheless. But as fast as that smile appeared, it was gone with the wind. Haru noticed this and tighten the grip between him and his elder. The trio continued their walk. They passed many traditional styled homes, belonging to the parents of the cursed family members. Hatsuharu waved slightly to his mother, who had seen the three of them, with his free hand. The dual haired boy looked at the sky above them. The sun was able to be seen off to the horizon, while a few clouds lingered in the sky. He stared at the auburn leaves that fell around him. He blinked when he felt Yuki's hand slip from his grasp. He peered to his side and found that the boy was not there. Instead the one he was looking for was entering the building in front of them. Haru followed Yuki like a baby duck past many rooms. He stopped when Hatori's voice broke the silence.

"Yuki-kun, wait here. I'll speak with Akito-sama and call you when he requests your presence," Hatori opened the door and disappeared into the darkness. Yuki slid down and rested his head in between his knees. Haru contemplated the teens position and it somewhat reminded him of the days he visited his older cousin long ago.

"Yuki? You tired?," the ox whispered. Receiving no response the boy crawled over to the silent figure and gently placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. This time, the teen looked up and whispered back:

"Why are you whispering?" Haru just smiled and said in a louder voice, "I didn't want to wake up everyone else," Yuki raised an eyebrow and said:

"I doubt anyone is in this hallway," The two sat in comfortable silence and waited. Haru drifted off a few minutes in and Yuki simply rolled his eyes. Hatori reentered the hallway and called out for Yuki.

"He wants to see you now, Yuki-kun. Please be careful," Hatori said in a stoic voice. Yuki moved Hatsuharu's head from his shoulder. The groggy teen blinked and all that he saw was Yuki's thin figure entering the room.

"MOTHER! YUKI-KUN'S MISSING!" A glare was given. A moment's peace. Another loud voice.

"MOTHER! YUKI-KUN IS MISSING!" And he snapped.

"What can you possibly be yelling about!" the yelling teen squinted at the digital clock, "It is five-forty in the morning! Do you-" An opening of the door caused the boy to halt in his rant.

"I heard yelling. Is something wrong? Do you need anything? Oh never mind that! Is someone injured?" Tohru whispered out.

"I'm sorry about the noise, Honda-san," Kyoya said with his host smile, "Do you happen to know where Yuki-kun is?"

Tohru cocked her head to the left and stared at the bed. She bit her lip, "He doesn't usually wake up this early," She paused before smiling, "He might be at the secret base!"

"Secret base? What's that Tohru-chan?" Asked Tamaki who was fully dressed for the day ahead of him.

"The secret base it Yuki-kun's garden. Do you want to accompany me Tamaki-kun? And you as well Kyoya-kun?" Kyoya sat up and put on his glasses. He looked at the girl who was still in sleeping clothes.

"I think it's best for all of us to get dressed first Honda-san," Tohru looked down at her clothes and apologized.

"I'm sorry! Sometimes I'm such an airhead. I'll be on my way," the brunette said as she moved out of the room and closed the door. Tamaki looked as if he had accomplished something worthy and Kyoya just stared as he got up.

"Kyoya! Hurry up and change! We have the liberty of looking at Yuki-kun's garden today," Tamaki said as he rushed out the door.

"It is way too early to be parading about," Kyoya said. Reluctantly he removed the warmth of the blanket and stood up. He slowly opened the beautiful packaging that the maids had wrapped the requested clothing in. He pulled apart the ribbon and stared at the garments inside. Shaking his head, he pulled off his sleeping shirt and put on the silky gray one he was given. He did the same for each garment. After he was finished, he opened the door and saw Tohru at the base of the stairs. She waved at him to come closer and he listened.

"Kyoya-kun, please come along. Tamaki-kun seems to be impatient," She said as she made a face at the boy who was pacing around the kitchen. When the blonde saw Kyoya at the bottom of the stairs he stopped his pacing and ran outside.

"Kyoya! Onward to the secret base!" Tohru hurried outside and struggled to keep up with the fast striding blonde.

"Ah! Tamaki-kun! Please wait, it's difficult to get there if you don't know where to go!" The blonde slowed and waited for Kyoya to catch up. When he did, the three of them continued. Tohru led the way telling the boys frequently to avoid hazards.

"AH! Careful Tamaki-kun! That's poison ivy!"

"Kyoya-kun, there's a root in front of that-"

"Tamaki-kun! I think there are some plants at the base that can relieve the itching. Please deal with the pain for now. I'm sorry!"

After Tamaki scratching frequently, the three of them made it to the base. Kyoya's dress plants were slightly covered in mud after suffering a trip. Tohru paused and showed them the base.

"I know it isn't much, but it's grown so much ever since I've been here," Tohru said appreciating the work of Yuki. She didn't notice when Tamaki had knelt down and picked at the withering strawberry plant.

"Tohru-chan, it's dying," The girl blinked and rushed to the plant. She brought her hands to her chin and said.

"Oh no. It was growing perfectly. I guess Yuki-kun hasn't had enough time to take care of his garden since he's very busy," She picked at the other dying plants.

"What a shame, almost all of them are in the same state," Kyoya said from behind her. He was sitting atop one of the many flat topped rocks. He was analyzing the girls sad state.

'Why are these plants so important to her?'

O.O

I know this was extremely short. Please forgive me. Weekends are the hardest time for me to find time to work on fanfiction. I just spent five hours in the bushes to earn enough money to buy a Fruits Basket Wall Scroll. Lucky me. I forgot to mention that this fic is based off the anime version, with bits and pieces of both mangas. On the other hand, was anyone even the tiniest bit scared when Yuki was really angry at Kyo near the end of the manga? He kind of reminded me of Akito for a second. Not to say that Akito is a bad person. ^^ Critiques, comments, flames, bricks, cupcakes, you know where to send them. Have a nice day lovelies.

*Am I the only one who prefers Yuki's eyes violet? They look so much prettier than silver. *
