Me: Thank you for reading my story, and being patient with my late updating. I have read more Fruits Basket fic and I have my motivation. So, Enjoy!
"Hah! I told you I was good at this game!" Kyo boasted. Yuki just smiled and reached for the deck to shuffle the cards again. Tohru giggled. Kyo looked over at her and blushed.
"Yes, Kyo-kun is very good." Tohru clapped. Kazuma and Kyoko watched from the kitchen as the three played, talking quietly.
"So what did the head of the family tell you?"Kyoko asked. Kazuma looked at her with a small smile.
"They have given me permission to transfer Kyo to Tohru's school. It also seems that Yuki will be transferred as well." Kazuma's smiled faded as he looked back at the trio. "It was very odd how they made sure Yuki would be going with Kyo, but what worries me is that the family has asked me to take guardianship over Yuki as well." He said. Kyoko looked at him confusingly.
"What about his mother, or his father? Won't they be worried?" Kyoko asked.
"No. You see the head of our family is young and he always wants Yuki around him, so his parents gave them to him." Kyoko's eyes widen with anger.
"How could anyone give up their child?" She yelled, hitting the table. This gained the attention of the three kids. The boys kept a straight face. Tohru, however, was worried and got up to approach her angry mother.
"Is everything okay, Mommy?" She asked. Kyoko's anger immediatly melted and she picked up Tohru, smiling.
"Of course. I have you don't I?" She nuzzled her nose to Tohru's. Tohru giggled in return. The two young boys turned away, hearts aching. Kazuma looked at the scene sadly and in adoration.
"Because, Not everyone is a good parent like you." He answered softly. Kyoko put Tohru down. Tohru raced back to her place between the boys. Kyoko looked towards Yuki and Kyo, both smiling at her daughter. She looked back at Kazuma.
"If you need any help, just give me a call. Those two will need a mother-figure." She said. Kazuma nodded. He looked back into the living room and noticed a shrine.
"If you don't mind me asking, but is that Tohru's father?" Kazuma asked. Kyoko nodded.
"Tohru, baby, can you bring me Daddy?" Kyoko asked. Tohru trotted to her father's picture and brought it to her mother. Kyoko placed a kiss on Tohru's head. "Why don't you and the boys go play outside again." The three nodded, but before stepping out, Kyoko said: "Yuki if you start feeling sick, don't be afraid to tell me, kay?" Yuki smiled and nodded.
"Kyoko, you really are an angel." Kazuma smiled. Kyoko just laughed and looked down at the picture of her dead husband.
"Trust me, I'm far from it, but I will never make the same mistakes again." Kyoko said. "Now, when are you planning on telling Yuki of his new home?"
"Your mama is really nice." Yuki said. He watched Tohru as she tried to hop on the chalk- drawn board. Kyo nodded, walking behind Tohru to make sure she didn't fall again.
"Yeah she really is." Kyo agreed. After she made it, Tohru looked at the two boys.
"What about your mamas?" Tohru asked.
"My mama doesn't seem to like me." Yuki answered, putting his head down. Kyo shrugged and turned away.
"My mama is gone." He said simply, trying not to cry. Tohru pouted, looking at the boys. She felt so bad for them. She turned around to face them, but she tripped on her shoe-lace.
"Tohru!" Both boys yelled and ran to catch her. The all three fell and the last thing Tohru saw was the boys' scared faces and an orange and purple poof.
"How dare they!" Akito screamed. "How dare they think they can be normal!" Hatori was sitting in front of Akito, listening to her wrath. He kept his eyes shut, tuning her out.
"Good for Yuki."He whispered to himself.
"I want them brought here." Akito yelled. Hatori finally snapped his attention back, surprised.
"What?" He questioned. Akito smiled darkly.
"Bring me Yuki and Kyo." Akito demanded. Hatori shook his surprise and tried to stand, but Akito pushed him back down.
"Let's be rational about this, Akito." Hatori said. Akito just shook his head, but a voice made her freeze.
"Akito is never rational, Ha'ri. You should know that." Shigure laughed. Akito glared at him. "Aww don't give me that look. I'm only speaking the truth. I mean, who else would give someone permission to leave and then get mad about it and demand them back. Now Akito let's figure this out." Shigure said, sitting next to Hatori. Akito huffed.
"Yes why did you allow Yuki to leave?" Kureano asked from his place in the back. Hatori looked back at him surprised, not remembering him being there.
"Because he needs to figure out just how mean people are." Akito said. "To prove to him that no one will accept him." She said.
"But now that you know someone is accepting him, you regret your decision." Shigure said. Akito turned angrily towards him.
"No I am not!" She yelled.
"Then why do you need them here. If you are sure of yourself you don't need them here." He said, getting up and leaving. Akito thought of this and screamed at the door.
Me: Woo. Shigure saved Yuki and Kyo, But what's going to happen when Kyoko and Tohru find out the Sohma curse? Tune in next time to see. Bye.
