Yuki couldn't sleep that night after Kazuma had come and walked outside in the cold air. He knew with his asthma it was a bad idea, but he couldn't help it. He thought about what they'd all gone through together so far. Kagura was still around, she was of course sleeping in Tohru's room. But he couldn't help but over think as always. Was it truly over with Akito? He'd fought so hard to get rid of Tohru, done everything in his power to rip her apart. But she was so strong, she could not be shaken, she even felt badly for Akito.
"Did I ever...think of his pain? Or was my own just too much?" whispered Yuki to himself.
He remembered Haru had left the day before, before Kazuma had come around. Their family always appeared at the times they needed them the most. Still Yuki could remember the memories of what Akito had done to him and he hugged himself that night as he thought about it.
"She...would she have been able to take that? What would she have done? She doesn't even know what happened to me! How could I dare even tell her ever?" asked Yuki to himself.
He couldn't, it was just too painful. The memories haunted him even now, and he couldn't truly destroy them. That's when he heard something and looked seeing Tohru standing there, she'd just come out apparently.
"Yuki, what's the matter?" she asked looking at him.
"It...it's nothing. I just couldn't sleep." spoke Yuki.
"Are you sure?" she asked in that caring tone.
That tone that always tore at Yuki, always made his heart bleed. "I..I was wondering about Kazuma and you talking." spoke Yuki.
"Ah yeah, he just wanted to ask me a couple of questions." spoke Tohru.
Yuki just smiled. "Did it go well?" he asked.
Tohru nodded and then looked at the moon. "What a beautiful moon, a full moon." she spoke.
Yuki looked up and nodded. "Yeah and we're underneath it together." spoke Yuki.
Tohru smiled at Yuki and soon they wandered back inside to sleep, Yuki then realized whatever had happened in his past, perhaps it was finally time to heal it after all.
-the next morning-
Yuki and Kyo had begun arguing early, though Yuki was still somewhat out of it. Kagura of course was looking to Tohru who was cooking.
"Why are they fighting now?" asked Kagura.
Tohru turned to look at them, this was still about Kyo not being accepted, and what would happen to him in the future too. Being locked away like that. Tohru didn't know that would happen to him, and if she had she might have done anything in her power to stop it. This was when Kazuma swung by again before school, Kagura looked at him and he smiled gently.
"Kagura, I need to speak with you." spoke Kazuma.
She nodded and they went to a room, Kyo and Yuki had stopped fighting as the air had gotten heavy. Kyo knew what Kazuma was going to talk to her about, but Tohru was confused. She moved to listen in though, as Kazuma looked at Kagura.
"If he doesn't defeat Yuki before he graduates, he is to be locked up under Akito's orders. So far there is nothing indicating that Akito has decided to change his mind about this." spoke Kazuma.
"I...I know. But what can I do?" asked Kagura.
"You must find a way to prove it to Akito that Kyo doesn't need to be locked away. After his mother committed suicide when he was six, he truly probably couldn't survive the cage. Not after the life he's obtained for himself now with you." spoke Kazuma.
Tohru felt her heart drop, this couldn't be true. To lock Kyo up forever because he hadn't defeated Yuki? Yet the two of them now were still fighting, could they ever truly come to a truce? Maybe the fighting was just for show now? They hadn't really been getting into it for a while. Tohru gasped and Kazuma and Kagura looked up as she dropped a plate at the news, tears filling her eyes she ran out of the house. Kyo looked after her but it was Yuki who ran after her.
"Miss Honda!" he exclaimed.
Kyo of course ran after Yuki, he wanted to make sure she was ok. Tohru ran into the middle of the forest, she cried as she held her arm to herself uncomfortably.
"You knew..." she cried and hiccuped.
"Knew what?" asked Yuki, panting.
"That he would be locked away!" exclaimed Tohru looking at Yuki with those tearful eyes.
Yuki looked down at the ground. "There was no way we could stop it." spoke his soft tone.
"What?" asked Tohru still crying.
Kyo looked at her as he walked up and sighed. "Tohru what is it?" asked Kyo.
Yuki looked to Kyo with those violet eyes. "She knows, about well what happens at graduation." spoke Yuki.
Kyo looked down his hands clenching. "You know it's not like there's anything I can do about it. It's Akito's decision, I always say I don't give a damn about him. But the truth is he still is in charge of my fate." spoke Kyo.
"But if you could only be accepted into the family!" exclaimed Tohru.
"Yeah, how? Fighting Yuki? He barely even fights back now!" exclaimed Kyo.
Yuki sighed and closed his eyes with his arms folded. "Maybe that's because as much as I hate you, no one deserves what you have been dealt in the future, being locked up that way. I hate you, don't get me wrong. But I am beginning to understand you. And you mean so much to miss honda, I wouldn't dare let her be heart broken over you being locked up. In truth I don't think fighting me is going to help. The more we fight the more we prove Akito right, that you don't belong. But maybe you do to some degree belong in Miss Honda's life." spoke Yuki.
Kyo looked in shock at Yuki as did Tohru. He walked over to Tohru and gently wiped away a tear from her cheek looking at her with those honest eyes.
"I hate him, you care for him. I will not stand in the way of him being let go of his eventual fate. I would do anything for you." spoke Yuki.
Tohru was in shock looking at Yuki, she then saw it in his eyes, the love for her was so very much there. Yuki turned and looked to Kyo.
"I don't know how this can be avoided. But I am not to blame here. I'm the rat but what my ancestor did, I did not do. Akito is the one you have to fight." spoke Yuki.
Yuki walked back to Shigure's house as Tohru looked to Kyo. "You know this is your fault. He wouldn't have ever even remotely cared what happened to me until you came along." spoke Kyo.
Tohru sighed still shaky as she looked at the ground. "I never knew...Kyo I'm so sorry." spoke her choked tone.
"Hey it's alright, you don't have to apologize for this. You didn't know." spoke Kyo.
Tohru then ran forward and hugged Kyo, he of course turned into the cat as she held him there in the forest.
"What about Kagura?" she cried and spoke.
"Kagura doesn't want this either Tohru." spoke Kyo.
"You don't deserve this." she choked.
Kyo of course couldn't help but try to calm her. "Tohru it's ok, we'll figure it out." spoke Kyo.
Tohru looked at him with those big eyes and he pawed at her hand a little in a comforting way. She then let go and of course he transformed back which was when she looked away as he redressed himself. She of course sighed and stood up.
"I...I got angry and took it out on Yuki." she spoke nervously.
Kyo just smiled a little. "I'm sure he understands." spoke Kyo.
She put her face into her hands and he rubbed her back. "Hey it'll be ok, right? It's ok to get angry sometimes especially about this. He'll understand." spoke Kyo.
Tohru nodded and slowly began to walk back, Yuki was looking down as she walked over to him.
"It's not your fault, the facts that you're the rat. You never meant for this, right?" spoke Tohru.
Yuki just smiled a little. "I've wanted to escape this family, this curse, for as long as I can remember." spoke Yuki.
"Yuki...I'm sorry." spoke Tohru.
Yuki simply smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright, you had every right to be upset." spoke Yuki.
"I knew...I knew you didn't like being a part of this family. I've learned this by now, still people do accept you Yuki. At least I do. I accept you and Kyo both for what makes you both individual." spoke Tohru.
Yuki smiled at her reaching a hand under her chin. "Well we missed school already, I hope miss Uotani and miss Hanajima understand." spoke Yuki's soft tone.
"School! Oh my goodness!" exclaimed Tohru.
She ran of course but Yuki simply shook his head as he followed her to the school, Kyo of course came along when Shigure lectured him. Soon they had arrived at the school which was when Haru walked up to Yuki.
"Hey." spoke Haru.
"What is it?" asked Yuki.
"Akito came by this morning, he said he wanted to speak with you as soon as possible." spoke Haru.
Yuki paled and spoke wearily. "About what?" he asked.
"He says you and Kyo have stopped fighting, called a truce and he wants to speak with the rat." spoke Haru.
Yuki simply nodded and looked to Tohru and Kyo. "Can you walk them home to Shigure's?" asked Yuki.
Haru nodded and they went into the school to their respectable classes.
