I don't own Fruits Basket or any of the characters. Like I said before...I only own Blade. So, curious to find out what comes next? Well, read and find out more.

"Is she going to be okay?"

"I don't know. The knife had gotten in deep."

"Don't worry, Tohru. You're going to be fine."

Tohru opens her eyes to find her friends by her side. Hana and Uo looked relieved to see her awake. They all hug her carefully, so they won't accidentally hurt her knife wound. Hana then remembers what the man after Tohru had said.

Flashback

Tohru was shocked as Blade starts stepping towards her. He tries to nab her but Uo somehow gets Tohru's attention and they all start running. Blade tries to pursuit after them but they were ahead. They stop running after a while of not hearing footsteps behind him. Big mistake. He appears behind them and says, "Hand her over." Hana and Uo saw him looking at Tohru. "What do you want with her?" Hana asks calmly. He says, "Why don't you ask her yourself?"

End of Flashback

She didn't want to force Tohru into talking, but it would be nice to know what's going on. So she gently asks, "Tohru?"

"Yes?" replies Tohru.

"Who was that man and why was he after you?" Hana asks. Uo just looks at Tohru, obviously having been bothered by the same question. Tohru pales and they could see her panic.

"Is there something you haven't been telling us?" Uo asks gently.

Tohru sighs knowing that sooner or later they would have to know about the dreams she's been having and the mysterious prophecy that is in the dreams. She decides to go out with the whole truth about why she has recently been behaving the way she was and why Blade was after her.

She takes a deep breath before saying, "That man is Blade. He's after me because of a mysterious prophecy that involves me." Seeing the question in their eyes she continues, "The prophecy goes like this: There is to be a day where evil shall rule. The strong shall prey on the weak. The innocent shall see no hope. The sun shall no longer rise and the world will be covered in darkness. But there will be one to stop this day from happening. One that is good at heart. One that is pure."

"You?" Hana asks surprised.

"Yes." Tohru replies.

"How did you find out it was you?" Uo asks.

"I've been having nightmares recently and they repeat the prophecy over and over. In the last nightmare, the dream made it pretty clear who was the person to save everyone." Tohru says. Tears spill from her eyes. "Only problem is that I don't want to be the one to save everyone. These nightmares are so realistic that I've woken up with bruises if they beat me."

Hana and Uo's eyes widen with shock. "It's no wonder why she looked sleepy recently. She hasn't been getting enough rest because of that. She's afraid to go to sleep," Hana thinks to herself.

"He also happens to be working for someone. I don't know who yet, but he said that he was taking orders from someone," Tohru adds.

Hana looks deep in thought while Uo just looks a little shocked by the news. Tohru wonders what they're thinking. She honestly didn't want to go to sleep because of the nightmares. But she was now reassured that she won't be seeing them in her dreams anymore because of her last dream.

Tohru finds herself in a dark room. She heard an evil cackling. She turns around and finds Blade right behind her. This terrible fear starts taking over her. He wore the same smirk as he always does. She studies him and finds him quite striking for an evil man. He had short, spiky black hair and the color of his eyes was a dark grey. He was completely dressed in black. Blade looks at her directly in the eye.

"Nice to see you again, Tohru." he said with a crooked grin.

"When are you ever going to leave me alone?!" she yells angrily.

"Actually this is my last visit in your dreams. It's too bad we didn't get to know each other better," he said stretching out his hand to caress her face.

She backs away and asks, "What kind of a game are you playing?"

He just smirks and just replies, "I'm not visiting your dreams anymore because we will see each other more often in the waking world."

"Who are you working for?" she asks.

"Some secrets are worth dying for," he said.

"Then why can't you just kill me now? It will help you with your evil plot to rule the world."Tohru questions.

"I would gladly do it," he answered approaching her with a menace in his eyes. "But my orders are not to kill you. In fact SHE wants to see if you're strong enough to defeat her."

"Who's she?" Tohru asks surprised.

"You'll have to find out for yourself, dear." he replies.

"Why are you doing this?" she asks tears spilling finally.

He says nothing and disappears before her eyes. She stares into darkness. Right then and there, a female voice booms, "So this is the girl to stop me?" Then she cackles and the scenery of the room changes. Soon she saw the future of what was to happen. She saw innocent blood on the hands of these people who seemed to like to torture her in her dreams.

"This is the future I see. Glorious isn't it?" asks the voice. Tohru's eyes widen in horror as she sees the scenery. Everything was as black as the night. Buildings were stained with crimson red. And she sees the evil everywhere in the lands. The innocent were either to do what they were told or they were to be killed. It was a horror.

"No! There's nothing glorious about this!"She protests.

"Well, it is to happen one way or another," the voice said. "Unless you can stop me," the voice adds in a mocking tone. Then everything disappears.

Meanwhile, Hana is thinking about what Tohru said. She honestly didn't know how to help Tohru but she started thinking about a way to at least discover where this prophecy came from and if there was anything Tohru had to do.

She notices that Tohru looks distracted. She decides that she needs to go to the library to see if there is anything at all that has to do with the prophecy.

She clears her throat and Tohru looks up at her. Uo looks at her curiously. Hana said, "Uo, come with me. Tohru, stay here and rest until I find something about that prophecy in the library."Uo stands beside Hana and Tohru just nods and tries to relax.

"Don't worry," she said. "We won't be gone long." she adds hoping it would comfort her. Tohru just smiles and replies, "I'll be fine. You two go on." Hana nods and hugs her goodbye. Uo does the same thing and walks beside her as they get out of the hospital.

"Any clue what we're looking for?" Uo asks.

"No clue. But we still better find at least one thing about the prophecy." Hana answers. Usually she wouldn't believe in such things but judging by the recent events that happened yesterday, she had to believe what happened. And also the fear she saw in Tohru's eyes. She could easily tell she was telling the truth.

They arrived at an old library. She immediately goes to the shelves to find something that will be a help to her. They searched on for hours and nothing came up.

Then a librarian came and asks, "Can I help you with something?"

Hana and Uo look at each other wondering if they should tell her about the prophecy. Just as they were wondering that, Uo sees out of the corner of her eye a mysterious man seemingly picking a book. Just as that happened, the shelf moved aside for him and a secret passage was revealed. He went inside.

Hana was about to accept the fact that they needed help and was about to ask the librarian when Uo immediately said, "No. We found what we were looking for." The librarian just nods and walks away. Hana was about to protest that they had nothing but Uo had already walked away to another shelf. She was surprised to see when a Uo picked a certain book, the shelf moved aside and a secret passage was revealed.

"Should we go in?" Uo asks. Hana seems to contemplate on whether to go or not. After a few seconds she said, "Yes, before anyone sees the secret passage," and steps inside the passage. Uo walks beside her and the shelf automatically closes by itself. The secret passage had torches that were lighting it. They walked on until they came unto two other tunnels. One path was dark while the other one was lighted. Now on the dark path, they heard footsteps so they decided to take the lighted one.

"It's funny how some people decide to take a dark path when this one has light," Uo thought to herself.

The path soon led to a door. On the door, it read "The Door of Secrets." Hana hesitantly opens the door. She finds books there, but there was one that stood out above all books. It stood out because there was a light on it like if it was of importance. They both walk over to the book and it read, "The Prophecy of Light". Hana carefully picked out the book, sits down on one of the chairs, places the book on the table, and opens the book. Uo sits down next to her.

"It talks about the evil that is to come. It does not look good." Hana said.

"Is there anything there to tell us what Tohru is supposed to do?" Uo asks.

"I don't know. I'll keep reading." Hana replies. "It's barely going into what Tohru is supposed to do. I think she has a power of some kind. It says that she's going to defeat the darkness with light."

"Well, it makes sense. How else are you going to defeat the darkness?" Uo answers. "Does it specifically say who the villain is?"

Hana shook her head. "No it just says that there is an evil upon us."

"It doesn't say her power either does it?" Uo asks.

"No." Hana replies.

"I think that maybe she will discover it herself." Uo said.

"She will have to." Hana said while she puts the book away."The same thing supposedly happened long ago. Now the evil is back with a vengeance. Or at least that is what the book says."

They noticed stairs in the room and decided to go up the stairs. It led out of the library. It was time to go to Tohru and see if she was doing alright. They both walked thinking long and hard. They arrived to the room Tohru was at. Tohru seemed to be thinking. Her face brightened up a bit when they arrived.

"Did you find out anything?" she asks.

"Actually, it's basically the same thing except for a few extra details." Hana replies.

Tohru looks at them curiously wondering what they found out. "Well, what are the extra details?" she asks.

Hana explains exactly what happened to them and the things they found out about the prophecy. Tohru widens her eyes in surprise when Hana is finished. She looks at Hana and Uo and begs that they're joking. They both shook their heads.

"So you're telling me that I'm supposed to have the power of light?" Tohru asks. They both nod in response to her question.

While they were discussing this, outside the hospital there was a figure. Green eyes watched them through the windows. Especially at the girl that had the power of light. Blade frowned. She wasn't supposed to find out about her power.

"Who revealed the passage to them?!" he boomed.

A man hesitantly comes up and nervously replied, "I did, sir."

He said, "How stupid could you get?! They both were in the library. You knew they were there. Or are you helping them to help defeat HER?"

He shakes his head quickly and says, "I would never do that."

"Then why did you do that?" he asks. The man said nothing and just looked down at his shoes. "I see you have nothing to say at all. Let's see what you'll have to say when you talk to HER."

The man widened his eyes in surprise. "No! Not HER!"

"Then choose your death. Either you get thrown to IT or you preferably let us kill you or like we said before: Just explain to HER."

"I would rather die by your hand," he said.

"So be it," Blade replied. Out of nowhere his hand produced a knife which was exactly what he was named for. He stabbed him in his heart getting it over with quickly. As the blood poured out, his eyes turned a dark grey.

"Anyone else shows disloyalty, and you will suffer from me or your superior. Let this death be a warning to all of you who plan to help out the good side." Blade said. Few men gulped nervously while the others looked sure of what they were doing.

To clear up the confusion, Blade's eyes are green but whenever he does something like what he did now, his eyes turn dark grey. That man that was killed was actually helping Hana and Uo. Those who were nervous after Blade warned them are also good guys that didn't know what they got themselves into. And yes the bad guy in charge of the whole beginning of a new age of darkness is a girl. You'll find out what "IT" is in the next chapter. Not revealing anymore stuff. So what do you think? Please review.
