================================================================
10 years later...
A small group of people were in the cemetary. It was a simple ceremony, only attended by the family members. A young woman clad in traditional funerary black, remained the only person behind after the service was done. She placed flowers upon the grave and stayed there for a few minutes in what looked like prayer.
A tall man stood near the edge of the row where the tombstone was located. Two small children waited with him. The woman looked over towards them and gave a small smile. She headed towards them and one of the children ran over to her. It was a little girl with light brown hair. She raised her arms towards the woman who picked her up and gave her a hug. The two adults started to talk silently, and started to head out from the cemetary.
================================================================
It was mid afternoon and the downtown quarter was busy. A little girl was chasing after her ball. Her mother was chasing after her, trying to catch up to her in the crowds. "Yoko!" Her mother called.
In front of a small store the ball bounced. The little girl had finally caught up with it and grabbed the ball. Upon having it in her hands, her head smashed into someones knee. She fell back and was quite dazed.
Her mother finally caught sight of the small child and saw her dazed child. The man who she had bumped into was picking up the young girl and her toy. "Yoko!" Her mother called again. She reached the two of them and took her child into her arms. She was staring down at the child and did not look up as she stood up. "Thank you for helping my daughter." She continued, "Are you alright yourself?" She looked up to meet eyes with the man. He was over a head taller than she was.
Staring straight back at her was the face of Yuki Souma. He held a look of complete surprise upon it. Before him stood Tohru holding a child in her arms that was nearly a complete double of her. The child was no longer dazed and looked at him with a younger version of her mothers face, except her eyes were more of a maroon colour.
"Honda-san?!" Yuki said. Tohru looked back at him. He looked at her left hand, her wedding band reflected in the sunlight.
================================================================
Loud noises of children playing blurred about them. Yuki and Tohru leaned up against a small fense and watched Yoko play upon the playground. The two adults were beneath a tree and leaves whirled about them as the wind knocked them from the tree.
Conversation was little between the two. Silence filled between them. Finally Yuki said. "When did you return?"
Tohru did not look over to him, but watched her daughter play by herself on the swings. "My grandfather recently died. We came to town for the funeral." Yuki looked at her with a sympathetic expression. "I'm sorry, I never heard of his passing."
Tohru smiled at him. "Not many did. None of my cousins came to the service, only my aunt. Arisa and Hana-chan came though."
Upon mention of their names he asked, "You have kept in touch with them?"
Tohru nodded. "Even with her fame as a model, Uo-chan has still been close with me. Hanajima-san is now married. Her children play with mine when we see each other."
Yoko was being confronted at the swings by a group of larger children. Tohru saw her child in trouble and went over towards her. Yuki was about to say something, but was prevented from when Tohru dashed off to her daughters aid. The damage was done before she could get there.
Streams of tears ran down her face when Tohru reached her. When she saw her mother she just stood there. Tohru wrapped her arms around her child and comforted her. Yuki came over directly after her. When he got there Tohru said. "She's small for her age and the other children make fun of her for it." She cuddled little Yoko who had stopped crying. Tohru took from her bag a stuffed toy in the shape of a cat. Yoko hugged the toy greatly and gave a small smile.
A little rumble came from the little girls stomach. Tohru smiled at her and said, "How about we have some lunch Yoko?" Her daughter smiled and nodded. "How about at Shigure's house?" Yuki said. "My apartment is nearby but it is too near work. Shigure no matter how much of a pervert he is can be trusted enough about your prescence in town."
"I would be happy to see him again." Tohru said. The three of them headed towards Shigure's house. They took the same route they had once travelled coming from school.
================================================================
"Tohruuuuu~!" Shigure said with a very happy look on his face. "Finally a person with cooking skills is in my home!" Tohru gave him a smile with a slight sweatdrop on her forhead. Little Yoko was sitting in the livingroom alongside Yuki. She was silent and gripped her kitty very tightly. Shigure looked down at her and gave her a smile.
"Yoko is it? How old is she Tohru?" He leaned his face onto his right hand. "She is five years old. Her little brother will be three soon."
"Little brother?" Yuki said. "Yes, Katsuro, he's with his father right now." Tohru looked off away from Yuki. Shigure decided to steer the conversation away from that moment.
"I heard from Kazuma that you own your own restaurant Tohru, is that true?"
She smiled at the mention of it. "Yes it is! Right now business is very good. I have 5 smaller restaurants under my ownership." Tohru beamed at the mention of her restaurant. It was the one thing that had supported her and Kyou in their early years.
Yoko had started to stare up at Yuki. He wasn't looking at her but could sense her stare. He looked down upon the young childs face. She blinked and then poked him. Yoko then pulled her hand away and hugged her kitty tight. Tohru laughed at Yoko's actions.
"Looks like someone isn't too sure about you, Yuki." Shigure said. A small beep came from the kitchen. Tohru got up to check on the meal she was cooking. Her small daughter was left alone with her cousins. Unsure of her surroundings Yoko got up and followed her mother. When Tohru came back she was holding Yoko.
Tohru bent over and got her ball from the bag she had been lugging all over that day. "She's more open if someone plays with her. Yuki, can you play catch with her?" Yuki was caught off guard for a second at being asked, but he nodded and opened the fusuma behind him. He then took the ball from Tohru's outstretched hand.
He proceeded to walk outside and awaited for Yoko to follow. Tohru put her down and motioned her towards Yuki. She whispered to her something. Then Yoko went towards Yuki and started to play. Tohru sat across from Shigure and they watched the two play. Yoko was smiling and greatly resembled her mother in that moment.
Shigure leaned slightly towards Tohru and said in a low voice. "She looks a lot like you, but I can see him in her." She stared over to her daughter who had just caught the ball and laughed. "Her brother resembles him more, yet he looks like my mother."
He nodded in reply to her. Within a short while later, they had eaten their meal and had just cleaned up. Shigure had a rather happy look on his face. He kept going on about how he had not had decent cooking in many years. Yuki told him off, but kept it polite in consideration for the small child near him.
Yoko had fallen asleep and slept in Shigure's room. Yuki and Tohru were left free to wander outside and walk off the meal.
Tohru was the first one to start of their conversation. "What have you been up too during these past years?"
Yuki did not look directly at Tohru when he replied. "When I went to University, I moved out from Shigure's and after my first year I got my first apartment. I immediately went into a board job in one of the Souma family corperations. Currently, I'm in my own building that I own and comfortable financially." Tohru nodded as a reply. She remembered Shigure telling her earlier that Yuki did not involve himself with anyone eversine graduation. Many thought of him as a eunuch.
A small beeping noise came from Tohru's watch. She quickly glanced at the time and stopped walking. "I'm sorry Yuki-kun, but I have to go." She did not clarify any further. The two of them turned towards the house and entered through the living room. Tohru headed straight for her sleeping daughter.
Yuki waited in the livingroom and watched her as she walked away. Shigure noticed the facial expression of Yuki soften as he looked at Tohru. He felt a little sympathy for his younger cousin. "She's to leave soon again." Shigure said.
Yuki turned in his direction. "I know. Every second longer they stay, they're in danger." Shigure nodded. "Her grandfather was how Kazuma knew their status. If Akito were to find out about Kazuma's and my involvement with them, he will become more violent than he is now."
"I don't want to see any more fall prey to Akito's anger." Shigure continued. They heard the steps of Tohru and Yoko coming down the hall. Tohru had her bag over her shoulder and the little child was rubbing her eyes from sleep.
Shigure went over to say good-bye to his little cousin. Yuki stood beside Tohru, he was going to escort them until they went their seperate ways. When everyone one had prepared to leave, Shigure saw them out. He watched from the doorway, the three of them walk down the path. They looked like a small family, something Yuki would never allow himself to have.
