Your secret is safe with me...[Fruits Basket fanfic]

Chapter 4

So many questions were going round in my head and the gears were turning as things started to make some sort of sense and I think shigure could tell I was in fact figuring things out and soon moved towards me,what took me by surprise was the fact that he covered my eyes with his hand just in time for a second 'POOF' to be heard.

Now I have some questions for them that need answering. I wounder why Tohru didn't really react much to orange top turning kitty on her,maybe she already new there secret.

After a minute of shigure's hand taking my ability to see he soon moved his hand and gave a sheepish look while Orange top and Tohru gave a worried faces.I didn't even get a chance to ask anything because Yuki came through the door and froze once he saw everyone's expressions,I'm guessing I wasn't suppose to find all this out now was I? I turned towards the dinning room and walked passed everyone pretending that I didn't just see anything new or strange,and the weirdest thing was that it felt so familiar to me and well I truly wasn't amazed or shocked at what I had just seen.

Odd right? I've probably just lost my mind!

I sat at the table alone for a minute until they all joined me at the table and sat down in silence,yep they were worried that I was gonna blab aren't they? Orange top had a annoyed face, Yuki his usual calm and collected poker face,Torhu was in overdrive panic mode but kinda hid it behind a smile and shigure was looking at me curiostiy etched all over his face.I decided to break the tense silence with the first question that poped into my head "U-um Tohru why didn't you seem to shocked at what happened to orange top?" I asked her and realized once I had said it that I had just given away the nickname I had given Kyo,Tohru just looked at me for a second before giving me a smile "On my first day here I slipped on some wood and fell into Kyo and then yuki and shigure." she told me remembering it as she talked "Why was there a piece of wood on the floor?" I asked her bringing her back from her memorise "Oh Kyo had just jumped thought the roof and made a huge hole in it." She replied

I looked over to orange top to see his head hung down mumbling something like "You didn't need to tell her that you know." I giggled slightly as he looked like a cat that had just lost its milk.Shigure then decided to gain all of are attention "Q,about you seeing Kyo change.." he started but I interrupted him mid sentence "It's ok I don;t really care what orange to-I mean Kyo or any of you are keeping form me but I'll keep your secret safe because we all have things we hide from the light and it's just better that way." I told him as I tilted my head down suddenly finding the tips of my hair interesting,I couldn't tell what it was but I felt scared and alone and as if someone was going to hurt me.

Maybe it was a clue to my past but I just carn't tell at all."What type of name is Q anyways?" Kyo asked lightening the mood slightly,should I tell them I've already told shigure and this feeling of keeping quite is building inside of me.I've found out there deepest secret tho and It's not really fair for me to know so much and then so little.

With that thought in mind I took a deep breath and lifted my head up "I u-um lost my memory and cannot remember anything and found myself in the forest about two days ago,I chose the name Q because I'm sure my name had this letter in it." I explained to them just like I did with Shigure,they all had thoughtful looks on their faces as they listened to my story."and because it just make me sound mysterious!" I giggled trying to lighten the mood once more because the eerie mood wasn't helping me at all as the feeling of distress grew little by little every moment.

"I'll still have to inform Akito about you finding out." Shigure continued from his previous conversation,that name seemed to spike my fear to its max and it seemed I wasn't the only one as Yuki also seemed to pail at the name aswel."O-ok,if thats w-what you've g-got to do." I stuttered as I once more found the ends of my hair interesting and my hands fiddled with the edge of my top.

Tohru got up from her seat and said she was starting dinner,Kyo went of to the roof and Yuki shot off to his secret base leaving me and Shigure alone."I'm going to lay down for a bit if that's ok?" I asked and shigure looked at me and sent a warm smile "Of course it's fine and don't worry about Akito." he said as I headed out of the room but not before looking back to see him sending me a reasuring smile that made all my fear and worry slip away.He's like a Onee-san the way he acts.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey wait up Imōto !" A older boy shouts form the big traditional house he runs towards me,did he just call me 'little sister'? He finally catches up to me and places his and on his knees and panted hard trying to catch his breath "Are....y-you.....ok?" He asked me and looked up at me with worry clear i his eyes,I couldn't control my own voice it was like I was watching through my own eyes but couldn't do anything."Y-yes I-i-i'm f-f-fine." I said and looked down to the ground my vision becoming blurred with what seemed like tears,then soon fell from my eyes and rolled down my cheek,whoever this boy was comforted me by wrapping one arm around my waist and placed his other hand behind my head and pulled me into his chest.I buried my head into his chest and cried my eyes out,I felt sour all over my body and suddenly collapsed into his arms.

The image changed and I was now standing in a dark room alone,it was freezing and I felt weak once more with sores all over my body.What had happened?

"Silly silly girl...." A man walked out of the shadows looking at me with dark,sinister onyx eyes.It was the same man as before from the earlier dream?!My body was froze to the spot as fear pulsed through and my hands were shaking also."Why is it that you think you are in here?" he asked in a calm gentle voice that made him look note scary,I couldn't say anything as I tyred my hardest not to cry but a fee tears escaped and fell to the cold wooden floor."Do you want me to tell you?" he whispered quietly and crouched in front of me 

a his my head meekly and turn my gaze to the floor.He chuckles loudly and grabs my chin ruffle and looks at me cold eyes full of hate and disgust,"Your in here for being born,for being a hideous creature that kills beauty!" I whispers at me with every word coated in venom."You will be in here for along time,no one loves you they just pretend to get what they want and so they will not be killed by the hideous monster that is you." A sharp pain suddenly shot through my body from my side and cheek,darkness soon clouded the image.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I snapped my eyes open and swung my legs off the bed just sitting there.'What does that dream mean?' I asked myself as a light knock came from my door followed by a "Dinners ready Q-chan." Tohru said softly through the door."Ok." I shouted back as I made my way and opened the door to reveal Tohru standing there waiting for me "Q-chan are you ok,you look pale!" She asked me with worry all over her face,I gave her a meek smile and nodded my head then placed my hand in hers.She gave me another one of her warm smiles and we both walked downstairs joining everyone in the dinning room eating dinner together.Orange top and Yuki argued all through out dinner about leeks until Yuki just shoved leeks into his mouth which I think killed poor orange top... "I think Kyo's dead now Yuki so you can let go." Shigure told them which made me laugh at the whole scene,these people are very different but for the better in my opinion.
