[Voice]The leaves of the trees in Xanadu are really changing colors right now. Everything is surrounded by red, orange and yellow, this has always been my favorite time of year. Nature always puts on it's own show and if you haven't been out to visit either the Temple or Hot Springs, now is the perfect time to do so. Both of the facilities are very

Talking about nature and wanting to sit with elder brother and I to discuss some things- who is this person? Is it possible for someone to change so much? I swear-

All right, though I can't say much for elder brother.

...just you is fine... I don't think it will be as big of a deal for him.

The kitchen...just come to the kitchen.

[He looked over at Tohru briefly before looking down. The pit of his stomach was churning with dreaded anticipation. It might be easier without Ayame, especially concerning of anyone--this would impact Yuki the most. He wasn't sure exactly how to approach the whole thing still, even after thinking about it all day.]

[Neither of them said anything to the other, just nervously waiting for Yuki to arrive.]

[Having had a tour previously, Yuki had a vague idea where the kitchen was. He made it after a little backtracking and peeking in through various doors.]

Ah- Miss Honda.

[Nervous, she looked up as she heard Yuki enter the room. Immediately she put on a bright smile in contrast to her worries.]

Yuki-kun! I'm...sorry about earlier. I'm better now.

[It was midnight, and she had finally come from outside of the room she'd hidden herself in all day. Still...she wasn't really sure where to start.]

It's a little late...I hope we're not...keeping you from sleep.

[Swallowing deeply, Kyou thought his heart was going to pound out of his chest. The use of Tohru's maiden name was a reminder of what they needed to do and he thought to take that and use it as the best opening.]

As bad as it is, curses wear off at midnight and we didn't want to wait on this.

Not at all. I don't mind staying up a little.

[It was clear in his tone that he was... very, very confused. It seemed this was more about the rules of the Temple.]

What is it?

[Innocent curiosity! Eyes full of hope!]

[She took a breath. How to explain. Yuki...h-he...would definitely accept her, right? And Kyou...it had to be a mistake when he mentioned how much of an issue it could be. Hatori and Hatsuharu had been fine. Surely...Yuki and Ayame would be too...

It was just that...an outsider...had suddenly found itself inside the fruits basket.]

Kyou and I...have an announcement to make. [She looked and sounded a little guilty. It shouldn't have been put off. She'd just...faulted.] I...wanted to mention it the other day, but I wasn't really sure how... somehow the words completely eluded me...even when I tried.

But...it's...really important. And I...wanted Yuki-kun to know, since...it is Yuki-kun's family...

[An announcement...was a nice way to put it. They didn't want to hide it from him, he deserved to know. Not only that but they couldn't hide something like this, it wouldn't stay hidden for long at all in a place like this.]

That is...we wanted you to hear it from us before you hear it from someone else.

[He immediately turns his attention to Kyou, a deadly look in his eyes.]

What did you do?
