Fruits Basket - Battle Against Akito And The Zodiacs

Chapter 9 | Never Tell

Yuki goes through his school day like normal. Other than the fact that he found it hard to talk to haru, it was not a bad day.

Dealing with student council took his mind off of his problems. (Not saying dealing with student council was easy.)

After school Yuki, Tohru and Kyo walked home together.

"Hey Yuki, I was going to ask this earlier but I forgot." Tohru says walking in between him and Kyo.

"What is it?" Yuki asks, a smile on his face.

"Can you maybe...help me study for this upcoming math test? I don't want to fall behind."

"Yeah, I don't mind." Yuki answers

"Thanks. I shall repay you with the best dinner." Tohru clenches her fists in front of her to show her seriousness.

"Thanks. Do you want me to help you study too, Kyo?" Yuki asks, his pride totally showing.

Kyo had calmed down since Yuki accused him of being mad all the time.

"I don't need your help for some stupid math test." He looks away with a frown.

Yuki let's out a small laugh, something he hasn't done in days.

"So what do you want for dinner tonight?" Tohru asks Yuki.

Yuki looks forward to think but his thoughts get interruped by something in the distance. Standing far away is a figure he can't exactly make out. He focuses on it.

"Yuki...?" Tohru looks at Yuki's wondered expression. She follows his gaze to a place in front of them. "What are you looking at?" She asks curiously.

"Who is that?" He whispers under his breath.

"Huh? Whose who?" She's getting confused.

Kyo looks at the two, wondering what's going on.

Walking closer to the mysterious figure, Yuki sees the person is not facing them. In fact they were just standing there, doing nothing.

Then as soon as he was about to say something the person turns themselves around slowly to show their face.

Yuki loudly gasps and stops in place as he recognizes Akito.

"Hey, are you okay?" Tohru grabs Yuki's upper arm, avoiding his injury, and stands in front of him.

Staring at Akito, he sees her give a small smile before she literally melts away. Falling apart like a liquid and disappearing.

His gaze going blury with fear, he looks down at Tohru who is saying things he can't comprehend.

".....Yuki, look at me! What's wrong!" She pleads for an answer.

Feeling the fear vanish slowly, he begins to feel normal again.

Looking down at Tohru's worried expression he opens his mouth to say he's okay.

Then he faints.

Opening his eyes, he sits up. He looks around and finds himself in his bedroom.

"How did I get here?" Yuki asks out loud to himself.

Running his hand through his hair he gets out of bed. Walking downstairs he feels a little dizzy. Stopping right before reaching the bottom, he hears a voice talking in the living room. The door was slid shut but from the shadow of a person moving on the floor, he could tell someone was there. Everything was dark. The only light coming from the closed door.
