And there she came...

Chapter Five

Disclaimer: No Kyo... No Fruits Basket, but of course, I own this story.

Note: Scenes may have been taken out from the Fruits Basket anime, some wordings in this FF do not belong to me, but they belong to whomever copyrighted it.

So, in the middle of the last chapter, I was talking about whether this should be a Kyoru, Yukiru... Uh... Akitoru.... and so on. Maybe it should stay in the neutral zone too, where there aren't any serious love stuffs going on, but only like stuff on how everyone feels about Tohru.

But, if you really want to have a certain ?x? pairing, then do tell me, maybe I will add it into my story! So PLEASE! Add your comments on what the pairing should be in the reviews. Help me make this story enjoyable for you to read, I need your help as well to make the story fully complete. It won't be complete without the help of the readers!

BTW!!! Warning! There is a bit of a spoiler in this chapter... so, if you have not read up to manga book 5 I believe, or watched all the anime episodes, and you do not wish to know yet, then do not read this chapter... I will give a flashback if you would like to skip to the next chapter. Because, the spoiler is only mentioned in this chapter to touch upon one of the character's feelings.

Flashback

Suddenly, Akito had seen a whole new perspective of things, but everything won't stay different forever.

He was looking up at the stars, when a shooting star came by. All three of them, Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru, saw it, and they all wished upon it. Both Yuki and Kyo wished 'I wish that Tohru would finally remember the past together...' Tohru on the other hand, she wished 'I wish I knew where these voices were coming from...'

But, Akito's alter ego came out. "No! I won't let her do this. She will regret ever meeting us Sohmas..." Akito spat out harshly. Then, he thought over, "Yet, why can't I just accept her...? Maybe she will accept me as well..." And then, Akito drifted off to sleep.

End Flashback

Tohru was down in the living room, flipping through the pages of her notebook. "Oh no! I totally skipped this subject! It will surely be on the exam!" Tohru squealed, and then she began driving all the notes in her head.

An hour later, Tohru was dizzy. "Uhh..." She was exhausted from the amount of effort she had put into trying to memorize all the information on what she thought might be on the quiz. Yuki came down the stairs. "Miss Honda, what are you doing down here so late?" Tohru flicked her head up. "Oh! I am just trying to study for the exam in a couple of days. I have been so caught up in work and everything else, that I haven't really had enough time to study, and I can't fail! I have a promise to keep!" Yuki smiled. "Well Miss Honda, I know all the subjects pretty well, would you like me to help you?"

Tohru's eyes grew big, and she shook her head quickly. "Oh! No! I couldn't let you do that! You've already done so much for me! And, if I let you help me with my exam, well, that's practically giving me help!" Yuki stared at Tohru on that last part. 'Well, I did suggest help after all...' A nervous anime sweat drop came down Yuki's head. Tohru began to continue, "And, I'd only be asking for it. I don't want to bother you at all." Yuki laughed. "But, Miss Honda, I am actually offering you help, so you wouldn't be asking for it at all. Please, let me help you." Yuki gave Tohru one of his pleading smiles. Tohru just sighed. "Well, if you insist."

After three hours of studying, Tohru began to understand the subjects better, even though Shigure was there the whole time, blabbing on and on about his stories. "Well, Miss Honda, maybe we should be getting some sleep. I can review with you again tomorrow night." Yuki smiled, he stood up, closing his textbooks and notebooks. Tohru stood up as well, holding all of her school supplies. "Thank you so much Yuki!" She bowed. "Good night Yuki! Good night Shigure!" Shigure smiled. "Ahh! So you didn't forget about me after all!" Yuki shook his head. He walked away saying to his older cousin, "Good night Shigure, and maybe you shouldn't write about something you'd regret...." Shigure had a sweat drop down his head. "Something I'd regret? What are you ever so talking about?" And then, the house went silent.

Once Yuki got up to his room, he slapped his forehead. "Agh! I forgot the real reason of why I wanted to talk to Miss Honda in the first place! It was so I could ask her about her memory!" Yuki sighed. "Oh well, I guess I'll have other chances. Although, I can't do it around Shigure... I don't think he knows... And he might go off telling Akito..." Yuki was talking quietly to himself. He shook his head and decided to change into his pajamas, then went to go to sleep.

Tohru was all ready and set to go to sleep, until she looked at the calendar. "Hm, it's March 12th already?" Tohru paused, pursing her lips together. "Has it really been that long since you died mom...?" Tohru walked to her window, looking out at the sky. What she didn't know was that Kyo was on the roof, and once he heard the window open, he began listening to what Tohru had to say.

"Mom, I don't know, but from the look in Yuki and Kyo's eyes, it's as if I knew them before. Do they know something about me I don't know?" Kyo sighed. 'Yeah, it is. But, I guess you don't know how your mom remembered us after all. And how your mom gave me a note. But, I guess I have to wait until you really get your memory back.' "Mom, I wish you were here with me. Maybe, you could help me, help me on why I've been feeling so lonely."

Tohru leaned her body against the window sideways, she was leaning on the left side of her window, looking out the right. "Will I ever find out? Mom, it's been almost a year, and I have been so.... lost... What am I supposed to do without your guidance? All I can do, is remember what you taught me before... And it will only help my future..." Tohru sighed, and she walked to her bed. She tucked herself in, and slowly drifted off.

Yuki was outside the door listening to everything Tohru said. 'Miss Honda... I wish I could tell you. But, your mother really would like you to remember on your own...' Yuki held a note in his hands. 'Maybe your mother's right...' Yuki paused, 'Maybe Kyo and I can become friends again after all...' Yuki paused again, 'Then again, we hate each other, so what's the point...?' Yuki sighed and went back to his room.

Kyo on the other hand, he was slightly upset. "Damn it..." He said. "Why can't I just tell her?" Kyo had some anger in his eyes. "I just... want her to remember... is that so bad? And... would she be the one to accept me... in that..." Kyo cringed, "Hideous... form?"

Flashback

"Ugh, it's disgusting. The cat in it's true form." Kyo stepped back, away from Akito. 'No...' "Take him away!" Kyo looked up at Akito, one last time for the day, and ran. Kyo ran away, far far away from Akito...

End Flashback

Kyo sighed. "What the hell does he know anyways? How does he have any right to say what he should do to me after... I graduate..."Kyo sighed, and decided to stare up at the stars some more before heading back inside.

Inside Tohru's dreams...

"Awwww... Kyo! You got sand all over my clothes!" There was one boy with purple hair, he was laughing, yet complaining at the same time. He took a small shovel and began scooping some sand to pour on the orange-headed boy's pants, the one called Kyo.

"I'm sorry Yuki! It was an accident. Promise!" Kyo began to laugh, as he took the bucket and poured some more on the purple headed boy, Yuki. The two boys looked up from the sandbox, and they saw a lady, and a young girl with brown hair behind them.

-Flash!-

"Why do you want to be friends with Tohru, Yuki? Don't you think she'd hate you for being cursed? Yes, she'd hate you so much, only because who would want to be friends with a rat...?" The young voice of the head of the family spat out so quick. The purple headed boy withdrew in fear. And then, Kyo stood up.

"THAT'S ENOUGH AKITO!" Kyo yelled. He stood up facing Akito. Although, Akito was not a bit intimidated by Kyo at all, instead, he pushed Kyo to the ground.

Back into reality....

Tohru sat up quickly. "Oh my gosh..." She muttered. "Was that... real? It felt so real, so intense...." Tohru paused. She got out of her bed, and went downstairs. "It probably was a dream, or maybe a nightmare." She walked to the kitchen, and brought out a cup, to pour some water. "That's right Tohru! Water will help you!" Tohru took a sip of the water, and then began walking up the stairs. She sat back down on her bed, putting the glass of water on to the side table. She sighed. "What a weird dream..." Tohru spoke quietly. Before she went back to sleep, she looked out the window. "Was it even a dream?" And then she fell asleep.

Two days later at school...

"Ahhh..." Tohru let out a relaxing sigh. She stretched out her arms and cracked her knuckles. 'Mom, I passed the test with flying colors!' Tohru stood up. "Done Tohru?" Tohru looked up to see Uo, and Hana behind her. Tohru quickly stood up, with bright proud eyes. "Yep! I think I did well!" Uo patted Tohru's head like a little dog, and then hugged her. "Aww, Tohru did well? That's good." Hana came in, "Yes, very good!" Tohru smiled, "Yup! Yuki helped me!" Tohru thought of how Yuki helping her study, and Shigure pestering them about his stories. Yuki came over to talk to Tohru. "Hello Miss Honda, Miss Uotani, Miss Hanagima, so Miss Honda, how did you do on the tests?" Tohru began jumping up slightly, she was very proud, "Oh! I think I did very well! It's all thanks to you!" Yuki smiled as a sweat dropped down, "Oh, I don't think I helped that much." He gave out one of his bright smiles.

In the background, three members of the Prince Yuki Fan Club began moaning, "Ohh... We never see our Prince smile like that! We have to do something!" Hana slowly turned her head over to the three. Tears began streaming down their faces. "But with electric girl over there, we can't go! She'll surely zap us!" They continued moaning and crying.

"Hey Saki!" Hana turned around to look behind her, seeing to boys, classmates. Uo, Tohru, and Yuki all looked over. "So, I bet you aced the test." Began one of the boys. "Yeah," Started the other, "Seeing as how you're psychic and everything." Hana shook her head. "Well, I guess I am dumber then I appear." Uo laughed slightly. "Don't get so down on yourself Hana." The two boys looked at each other and raised their eyebrows. "So... You didn't use your psychic powers?" Hana stated plainly, with a straight face and all. "No, I've learned how to control my powers. Yes. I've taken remedial classes. My mother cried for days when she found out." The whole bunch of them went silent. "Uh..." Stated the two boys. "We should go now...." Hana shook her head. "Anyways," Said Uo, "At least you studied a couple days before. Some people here probably crammed all last night." Kyo jumped in. "You sure as hell better not be talking about me." Kyo was sitting on the top of the chair, while his legs were planted onto the seat of the chair.

"Yeah? So what if I am?" Uo got all up in Kyo's face. "Damn it you Yankee. At least I haven't gotten phone calls from the school saying how my grades sucked." Uo glared at Kyo. "Well, you probably studied all last night, and crammed on one subject, then you probably got to school, realizing you studied for the wrong test." The two of them continued arguing...

Until their teacher stood by the door, "Miss Honda? A moment please." Tohru looked over. "Me? Um... Ok..." The other four looked at Tohru and the teacher through the doorway outside the classroom. Suddenly, they saw Tohru bowing down. The teacher had a sideways smile, and started shaking his hands. Tohru walked back to the other four, looking down at her shoes.

"So, what was that about?" Tohru looked up hearing Kyo's voice. Everyone else had a worried face. Tohru covered some of her concern. "Oh nothing, I just have to work harder." Yuki and Kyo's eyebrows went up. "Huh?" They said quietly...

"PART TIME JOB! HERE I COME!" Tohru stood on top of one of the desks. Her head was in the air, and so was one of her arms. Everyone stepped back a few, taken away from Tohru's statement, "Uhh...." So everyone said.

Later that night at the main house...

Momiji was smiling, prancing out the door. "Mo-mi-jiiii...." Said Hatori slowly. Momiji turned around. "Oh! Hi Hari!" He gave one of his innocent smiles to Hatori. Hatori shook his head. "Where do you think you are going?" Momiji grinned. "I'm going to Shigure's! Tomorrow's St. White Day, and I have a present for Tohru! I have passes to go to the Sohma Hot Springs! Of course, Yuki and Kyo can come too. I don't think they'd like it if I took Tohru away from them." Momiji gave out an innocent chuckle. Hatori shook his head. "Ok, go on." Momiji did one of his prancing bows, and walked out through the gates.

Akito was listening behind a tree, (Man, he loves lurking behind the tree, no?) "A trip to the hot springs? With Tohru? How come they aren't inviting me...?" Akito felt as if he was split into two. "I'm being left out again?" He whispered, despite what you think, Akito had a tear fall down his chin. He took a deep breath, and then thought of something in his head. "I will make sure they suffer, they will not leave me behind again. Something bad will happen.... Some day..."

Whoa... SO! Akito DOES have feelings after all, no? Uhh Duh! Everyone does, despite what you may think, he has reasons for being the way he does. (Is referring to the last 15 minutes of the whole anime series) Hahaha....

Anyways, that was chapter 5. I don't think it was as good as I hoped it to be. Baka Da. Don't worry, Da-Chan shall make thy story BETTER! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hehehe.... anywho, I am so glad! The reviews are so kind! And you are all going ballistic on what will be happening!

Akua: Well, I am so glad you like this story! I haven't really seen anyone making Akito with an alter ego, and it would explain a lot of things, why he is kind one minute, and snaps the next. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Maybe I will check into your idea of the Springs.

SwiftRave: Yay! You love this story Makes me feel so happy.

Fornax: Whoa, three reviews! Hehe, I am glad you love it a lot, yes, I think the way I ended the second intro was sort of sad too, but que sera sera, as Shigure says.

Tabbercat: Yeah, it took me about 5 days just to finish this story. Sad ey? Anyways, the waiting will be for chapter six instead of chapter five!

AnimeGirlInuyasha: swoons... Hehe, isn't Inuyasha such a bishie? Fwah! Anyways... I've continued... to a cerain extent. Now, enjoy the wait of chapter six!

I think I like the way I set up the story, don't you? I thought... while I was watching Fruits Basket of course, WOW! I should make a story based on an event that happened in their childhood!

Oh! And there is a blurb about St. White's Day in this, my friend's and I were reading DNAngel, and there was this blurb about White Ribbon Day. Does anyone know if St. White's Day and White Ribbon Day is the same thing? Please do and tell me in the review, because I would very much like to know, because St. White Day is on the 14th of March, and we have no clue when White Ribbon Day is, because there is someone I want to give a white ribbon to. . .

Heh, AND don't forget to add what pairings you would like to add into the story, it may turn out sooner or later.

In Chapter Six!

Oooh! Momiji pays a surprise visit to the household of Shigure Sohma! (oooh... ahhhh) And look! He has come with a pass to the Sohma Spa! Will Tohru accept it? Will Kyo go? (Well, Yuki is going obviously) Is Akito setting up his plan of mass destruction? (Uhh... jk about the mass destruction part)

Until next time...

Da-Chan, over and out!
