Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Behind the Door ❯ Sakura's Power ( Chapter 2 )

You know, I wasn't going to be mean and leave you hanging. But I decided to. And more info for non-Furuba fans. The Sohma curse is when members of the Sohma family are possessed by the Zodiac spirits. When ever they are hugged by the opposite gender of are weak they transform into the animal they are possessed by. Though for reasons that can't be explained, those who are cursed can hug each other with changing. So, when Sakura hugged Kyo, and he didn't transform, you can imagine they commotion that was going on. And you have to remember that Kyo doesn't know that Sakura exist. Now, I have said enough. Back to the story.

* Sakura gets up off of Kyo *

Sakura: I am so, so, SO sorry. I didn't mean to land on you. Shoot, he is going to kill me. He is going to kill me real bad. I have to go. Later.

* Sakura walks off in a hurry *

Kyo: Why didn't I transform?

Haru: I don't know. Something wasn't right about her. Whenever I mention your name, she got interested. Like she knows you or something.

Momiji: She does look a lot like you. Except the hair. Though, it looks like she dyed it. Even her eyes look the same.

Tohru: Did you know her Kyo? You kept on asking if you seen her somewhere.

Kyo: It, its just looked like I was looking into a mirror. And when I saw her, I rememb-

* Kyo stops talking and looks out to a distance place *

Momiji: Remembered what?

Kyo: Nothing

Momiji: Oh, come on. What is it?

Kyo: I said nothing, darn rabbit!!

* Kyo reaches across and hits Momiji *

Momiji: Waaaaaah! Kyo hit me!!

* Bells rings *

Tohru: Come on. We don't wan to be late for class.

* Everyone gets up. Kyo stands and looks out to a distance place again *

Tohru: Kyo, are you all right?

Kyo: Hmm? Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking. Don't worry about it.

* Kyo smiles at Tohru and walks to the school. Tohru is thinking. *

Kyo: Hey Tohru. Are you coming or not?

* Tohru smiles and catches up to Kyo *

Quick thing before we go on. NEVER EAT TO MUCH CHINESE FOOD!!!!! My stomach hurts form eating too much for dinner tonight. Okay, back to the story.

* Sakura runs back to the main house. Not even caring that she skipped school. She is in thought *

Great. This is just great. Now Kyo will know who I am. I'm in so much trouble. Akito is going to kill me. Now I know how Mitsuki feels like. Crap. Wait.

* Sakura stops in her tracks *

I never actually told Kyo that I'm his sister. All I did was fall on him. I didn't actually hug him. So, that can't be bad. So I'm still following Akito's orders. Ok, ok, I'm good. Now I need to get back to class before I get in trouble.

* Sakura runs back to the school. She makes it there just in time before the bell rings *

Teacher: Meru. Take you seat.

Sakura: Yes sensi.

* Sakura walks to her seat. She tries to avoid contact with Haru *

Haru: What happened at lunch?

Sakura: Shush. The teacher is talking.

Haru: Don't think you can get me off that easily.

Sakura: Well, I will then we get in trouble for talking. Now, quiet.

* Haru stares at her for a while, then puts his attention to the teacher*

You know what, never mind. Just that I hate benchmark testing.

* Last bell of the day rang. Sakura is leaving the school *

Haru: Hey Meru. You're going to the main house right?

Sakura: Yea

Haru: I'm walking with you. After all, I do live there.

Momiji: Me too. I live there too.

Sakura: O-Ok.

Momiji: Bye Tohru! Bye Kyo!

Tohru: Bye. Nice meeting you Meru.

Kyo: Tohru, come on. I'm hungry and I need to get to the Dojo.

Tohru: Ok. Bye!

* Kyo and Tohru walks off *

Sakura: Do they live next door or something?

Haru: Same house actually. They live at sensi-Shigure's house. Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki. Sensi-Shigure provides board for Tohru, while she takes care of the entire house cleaning and cooking.

Sakura: What about her parents?

Momiji: Her farther died when she was three. And her mother got killed two years ago in an accident.

Sakura: Oh. I feel sorry for her.

Haru: Don't worry. She's fine.

Momiji: So, where do you live? Which house?

Sakura: Uh......... (What should I say? Akito never said anything about if this would happen. I'll just change the subject) um....... I have to get home real soon. My- my guardian probably needs my right now. See you tomorrow.

* Sakura runs off really fast *

Haru: Something is strange about her.

Momiji: I know. It's like she is hiding something bigger than us.

Haru: And there's something familiar about her.

Momiji: Well, let's just watch and see what happens.

* Haru smiles *

Haru: I hope Yuki is alright.

Momiji: I'm sure he is.

Ok. Now for those who love Yuki, sorry I haven't added him in yet. I've been trying to find the right spot. And I think it is in the next school scene. So don't worry, Yuki is coming! And there is some advice that is very helpful. If you feel like jumping off a table, 1st don't turn backwards. 2nd make sure the ground is even. And 3rd make sure there is not another table behind the table you are jumping off of. It REALLT HURST!! I know. Kawiia Kisa, just call me an idiot. I know I am. It's better than falling in a lake though. Ok, back to the story.

* Sakura runs into Akito's house. Out of breath *

Sakura: I made it, huff, huff ......... huff.

Akito: I'm glade that you made it Sakura.

* Sakura jumps. Surprised to see Akito *

Sakura: Akito. * Sakura bows *

Akito: Yes, its good to see you to. Oh, and about your incident with Kyo, don't think that you won't get away with that.

* Sakura looks up, startled *

Akito: Yes, I know about it. They are suspicious. That dumb ox, the “happy” rabbit, that girl, and the monster. So, because you made them suspicious, you will have to go to that special room for you and that monster.

* Akito smiles *

Sakura: NO! Please, anything but that, ANYTHING!!

Akito: Oh, don't worry, it won't be that long. And I will still come visit you. .

Sakura: NO! Please, I will do anything, anything that you want. Just not that!

Akito: Hmm........ Maybe I could do something else. I mean, you didn't actually tell him.

* Sakura looks hopeful *

Akito: But then again, they will find out, so no, Kureno!

* Kureno comes in. Sakura looks horrified *

Akito: Take Sakura to her special room.

* Kureno picks Sakura up and drags her to the door. Sakura turns pale. Kureno and Sakura leave the room *

Akito: That traitor. I should've known that she would bust. It was too important to her to not tell. Were is Hatori?

* Akito leaves the room to find Hatori *

I would go on in the story, but I have to say something. I have just talked to Kawiia Kisa. She said I could use Mitsuki in. So, not only will Yuki come in, but Mitsuki too. We haven't decided on why Mitsuki doesn't know Sakura. So it will be a while. Ok, now back to the story.

* Kureno holds a pale Sakura. Sakura isn't struggling anymore. *

Kureno: So, what exactly happened?

Sakura: I was eating lunch with them. They kept on asking about my parents. I didn't know what to say, because I was afraid that they will find out. So I was leaving when I tripped and landed on Kyo. He didn't transform. So they started freaking out. I ran away. I was about to come back, but decided not to.

Kureno: Did they try to bring it back up?

Sakura: Yes, but I just changed they subject.

Kureno: Look, I don't want to put you in “the room”, but I can't defy Akito. So just go into it, and I will try to get you out within an hour. Ok?

Sakura: Ok.

Kureno: Good. Now, just stay calm while in there. I'll take you to Hatori after words.

Sakura: Thanks. Oh, by the way, I saw that one girl that you like. What's her name, Arisa?

* Kureno turns white *

Kureno: How did you know?

Sakura: I---I don't know.

Kureno: Whatever you do, just please don't tell Akito.

Sakura: After what you do for me. Please, what kind of girl do you take me for?

Kureno: Hahaha! Thanks.

Sakura: No problem.

* They arrive at “the room” *

Kureno: Remember, just an hour.

Sakura: Ok

* Sakura walks in “the room”. Kureno closes the door *

Kureno: Now I have to find Akito.

* Kureno walks off. Sakura is in the room lying down. Her eyes are closed. She is thinking *

Ok, I'm fine. Kureno should be back any minute. All I have to do is keep my eyes closed and it won't be that bad. Just think happy thought. Like, like Kyo. I can't believe tall he is! And he is so handsome. No wonder almost all the girls had hearts in their eyes. Though also daggers when he talked to Tohru. Tohru is also very pretty and nice. Though I wonder if Kyo has told her that he knew her mom? (* Spoiler- those who don't know, Kyo knew Tohru's mom. After Kyo's mom killed herself, he met Kyoko. He talked to her like once a week- Spoiler over *) I also wonder if he and Yuki and still fighting? I wonder if Mitsuki has meet Yuki yet. Come to think of it, I haven't seen her lately. I wonder where she is.

* Door opens. Akito and Kureno comes in *

Akito: Well, Kureno here says that you have had enough. Well, have you?

Sakura: Yes I have.

Akito: Well then you can come on out.

* Sakura gets up and starts to walkout *

Akito: Hold up. We still have to talk about you going to school.

* Sakura looks at Akito *

Akito: I will let you still go to school as long as you will not bring up what happened today. And you are to NEVER give them any idea that you are Kyo's sister. Got it?

Sakura: Yes, Akito.

* Akito smiles *

Akito: Good, now go.

* Sakura leaves. Kureno follows her *

Sakura: Aren't you suppose to be with Akito?

Kureno: She- I mean he wants to be left alone.

Sakura: You know, you don't have to cover up about Akito. I know all about it.

Kureno: How? Fist me, then Akito. What's going on?

Sakura: I have no idea.

Kureno: Let's take you to Hatori. Maybe he will know.

* They got to Hatori's house *

Kureno: I will leave you here. I have work to do.

* Kureno walks off. Sakura knocks on the door *

Momiji: Hallo! Meru, what are you doing here?

Sakura: I'm here to see Hatori.

Momiji: Ok. Come on in.

* Momiji takes Sakura inside *

Momiji: Hatori should be here soon.

Sakura: Ok.

* Sakura suddenly sees Mitsuki in a dark room. She tries to talk to her*

Sakura: Hello?

Mitsuki: Hello?

Sakura: Who are you?

Mitsuki: Mitsuki. Who are you?

Sakura: Sa- * Sakura is cut off. She realizes that Hatori is there. He is looking at her *

Hatori: Are you ok?

Sakura: Yeah, I'm fine. I just sa- never mind. I'm fine

* Hatori looks a Sakura questioningly *

Momiji: Meru says she has come here to see you.

Hatori: Meru? Oh, ok. Meru, come into my room.

* Sakura follows Hatori. They reach his room and he closes the door in Momiji's face. *

Hatori: Meru? I've heard other names, but this is in fact the weirdest.

Sakura: Don't look at me. Ask my dad why they put Meru as my middle name.

Hatori: Ok Sakura. Why did you come here?

Sakura: Kureno told me. He said to tell you to give me something. And that you would know. I just came from “the room”

Hatori: OK, stay here.

* Hatori goes into another room. Sakura hears a noise outside of the door they came from. She goes over and opens it and sees Momiji. *

Sakura: Momiji, what are you doing there?

Momiji: Well, I was going to come in with you and Tori, but he shut the door on me. I was going to go, but then I heard you two talking. Meru. Why do you go by your middle name, Sakura?

Sakura: Because Akito told me to.

Momiji: Why?

Sakura: I don't know. He would tell me either. Just please don't tell anyone.

Momiji: Ok. Oh, do you know about the cures?

Sakura: Yes, why?

Momiji: Just wondering. Hey, do you know what animal I-

* Momiji is interrupted by Hatori *

Hatori: Here you go, take this.

Sakura: Ok. * Sakura takes the pill *

Hatori: Now, I just talked with Kureno and he says that you know stuff that is not supposed to be known.

Sakura: Yes

Hatori: Do you mind telling me?

Sakura: Just as long as you don't tell anyone.

Hatori: I won't.

Sakura: First, I don't think Momiji should hear this. And I'm only telling you because you know two out of the three things.

Hatori: Momiji, leave.

Momiji: But why * Momiji gets up anyways *

Hatori: Ok, go on.

Sakura: I know that Akito is a girl, that Kureno likes Tohru Honda's best friend Arisa, and that you like Yuki's and Kyo's and Tohru's and theirs sensi.

Hatori: When did you find out about me?

Sakura: Just now. I saw it somehow.

Hatori: I think you are like Mitsuki. You have a special power. And I think your is seeing peoples deep secrets in their hearts.

Sakura: Cool, I have a power. So you're saying that I can see anybodies secrets?

Hatori: Yes.

Sakura: Awesome.
