Fruits Basket - Battle Against Akito And The Zodiacs

Chapter 3 | Getting Better

Yuki was left all alone in his bedroom. Then he suddenly realized the real reason why Torhu must of been so frightened. He remembered when they visited her mother's grave she talked about her dad dying from some kind of illness.

Suddenly he felt bad. He must of scared her so much lying on the floor unconscious, bleeding and then not waking up.( He was surprised he didn't turn into his rat form ) Even though he didn't mean for this to happen he has to apologize to her. It would be the right thing to do.

Akito is the reason this all happened. Yuki shouldn't be apologizing, Akito should. Suddenly Yuki was filled with intense rage. He wanted to kill Akito right now. His anger made his arm hurt worse.

After losing her Father to a illness then her mother to a accident Torhu doesn't deserve any more scares like that. He was getting so mad that he wanted to punch someone right now, but it all went away when Torhu came back into his room.

She walked past him with some fever medicine and something for the pain in his arm. She also had a roll of gauze for his wound and a bag of ice in her arms and she set it all on the bed.

Yuki got up from the floor with his right arm felling a little dizzy but he was able to walk to his bed and sit down at the end so she could tend to his left arm.

First she unwrapped the cloth covering his wound carefully while kyo came back in the room with a bucket of water, a mop, and  a bottle of anti-infectant ointment.

"You don't want it to get an infection do you?" He says with a frown while holding the bottle out to Torhu.

Yuki stayed silent

"Oh.. I can't believe I forgot that!" Torhu says and takes it from him.

She must of been really bothered by what happened to forget about that.

"Are you okay" Yuki asked very concerned.

"I'm fine" The look on her face said differently
"I should be asking you that. Your the injured one."

Yuki looked down at his arm and visibly cringed.
His cut looked deep and it was bleeding so much he was turning pale.

Torhu was using as much gauze as she could to soak up the blood.

"Is shigure awake?" Yuki asked

"You kidding, that guy can sleep through a hurricane. He's probably still asleep." Kyo says

"All I needed was a yes or no" Yuki said

"Your lucky it didn't hit a major vain, that would of been terrible and I would be cleaning up more than just blood" Kyo said sounding irritated.

Yuki noticed Torhu's face was washed with fear. He was right he could've been killed.

"Shut up stupid cat" Yuki said also now irritated.

To his relief The blood finally stopped and Torhu put some of the anti-infectant ointment on it. It burned so bad Yuki thought he was going to cry, but he pulled through.

Kyo finished cleaning up and left taking the bucket and mop with him. Yuki didn't see him the rest of the night so he assumed he went back to sleep.

Torhu covered the wound with the roll of gauze and then gave him some medicine for it then for the fever which didn't bother him as much as his arm.

He said thank you and goodnight to Torhu when she left and decided he would lay down for a bit and let he medicine kick in.

His head was laying on the bag of ice and it was helping him feel a little better.

He was laying down staring up at his dark ceiling. The only light was from his window.
He was tired but he fought it. He doesn't want anymore dreams of Akito.

Crap!
I didn't get to apologize to Torhu. I'm such an Idiot. I will just tell her tomorrow. I need sleep but truly...I'm scared. I thought I escaped. I truly did. Why am I such an Idiot? Who am I to think I deserve a happy life? I'm the rat, the cheater. Everyday I try to prove to people that I'm not the cheating rat in the old folktale, but some people just won't listen.

Yuki was so frustrated with everything he didn't even realize the tears flowing from his eyes. When he did he put his right arm over his eyes to stop the tears. His breathing was shaking as he cried. He wished for some kind of happiness everyday. Why was is so hard to be happy?

He moved his arm and let the warm tears flow down his face. He thought about Torhu.

Did she cry at night when no one was looking? How much is she really suffering?

He wouldn't go to school the next day. He needed to recover. He wanted to make sure she was happy. If he can't get a chance at happiness, She should. Even though he wanted to be happy. It just didn't come to him, but then again that was his

Curse
