Authors Note: Gomenasai! I only updated the story now I'm too busy in my job… But honestly I'll try harder to update all of my fics… Yakusoku!! Furuba is not mine…..:P
After her meeting with the princely violet-eyed man named Yuki Sohma the 4th Sohma man she had meet today, Tenshi was currently driving towards the Kaibara home-woods (which was near the Sohma Bunke of Shigure) while was thinking of her very memorable and romantic encounters she had that day.
While this was going on Ayame, Shigure and Hatori had already meet at the giant Christmas tree at the park and decided to have a proper but late lunch at Shiro's their favorite restaurant since high school. There they had a satisfying late lunch, Hatori said; "Ayame , Shigure did you by any chance meet a very lovely girl named Sakurareishi Tenshi? It seems she is my Spring" The two men where taken aback, then Ayame said; "Hands off Tori she's my Mate." Shigure was surprised Ayame was arguing with Hasan but he had a stake as well so declared "Oh no you don't she's Mine!". Then, as if realizing something they all said at the same time elated, surprised, and confused beyond believe, "Oh my God! She's our soul mate, We share one woman as a twin mate!?" All this while staring unbelievable into each others shocked and apprehensive faces wondering how to understand and solve this heart wrenching dilemma, not knowing that another Sohma player will be joining them. . . .
Meanwhile, Yuki, after finishing his errands was driving his scooter home using the route that went by the restaurant called Shiro's, when he spotted his older brother with his other older cousins inside the restaurant all looking shell shocked and spaced out. Thinking something bad happened he quickly parked near Hator's car and went inside. He called out. "Shigure! Is anything the matter with you guys?" while tapping Shigure's back, causing him to yelp out in surprise and jumping almost out of his seat and which startled the other two men to wake up from super shocked mode and self induced wonderings. Hatori recovering quickly said "Oh Yuki, why are you here? Bewildered and slightly bemused by his older cousin's reactions he replied, while seating himself on their table. "Oh, the guys forgot some more errands to give you so I volunteered to do them." Which earned him nods from three older men, knowing that they were listening he continued. "Anyway, I meet the most beautiful woman today, who seems to have attracted your attention as well…….." He was interrupted when he saw Ayame, Hatori and Shigure give him semi bewildered and semi possessive glances and said… "why do I have a feeling that what I'm about to say would definitely upset you and earn myself a few threatening looks…." Yuki trailed of and finally realizing that.. "O my kami, don't tell me that you felt it too that flash of electricity and other instinctual reactions… Don't tell me that Tenshi is also your mate?!?!" He spoke slowly being sharing the same bewildered, shocked, horrified and confused looks when that all realized that they have ALL bonded with one female…
Then in a move that would help rationalize things Hatori said "Maybe, we should ask Akito or any of the Sohma Elders to how approach this matter… I mean wouldn't be impossible and improbable if we all have one and the same mate??" So saying this which broke the catatonic states the other were in and they uniformedly straightened themselves headed back to the family gathering, and unanimously shelving for the mean time the weird quadruple bond mating problem.
At the party that lasted until the morning next day the Mabudachi trio plus One Prince drowned their bewildered lamentable minds in kaluas, punch and sodas, To the bemusement of some of their other cousins and friends. So it was of no surprise when come morning that they were pissed drunk and suffering from severe hangovers and ringing killer headaches.
Meanwhile deep in the heart of the Kaibara woods, in a secluded clearing a shining white orb suddenly landed form the sky. As the light fades away an ethereal being emerges long flowing white sundress envelopes a body of a goddess with blindingly white wings and long straight locks of brown frame a heartbreakingly familiar face with endless blue infinity for eyes, blinking a little dazedly she lifted a pale hand and blew a few dazzling snow white feathers on the wind and smiling serenely waited for the events that was to come…
Tenshi having arrived at the woods parked her car near a makeshift dirt path and started collecting dried, fallen leaves and fresh flowers on the grounds of the woods as a cover action just incase when someone sees her and asks why she was there. She then pulls from her bag the same tool that gave the warning alarm earlier at the café with Yuki, a crystal scrying object, and proceeds to follow it's pointed direction, after a few meters of ground covered she found soft white feathers as a trail on the ground, knowing she was on the correct path she followed and picked up these heaven sent treasures glowing an unearthly glow as she walked to its source. Finally arriving at the clearing silvery grey eyes meet blue skies for the first time and suddenly in understanding they both smiled and in a trancelike motion held hands causing the angel to loss her wings in a blizzard of snow white feathers with spirit fingers suddenly gaining blood and flesh…
While a few kilometers away Yuki was suddenly revived from his drunken stupor and, he felt something inside himself come alive. The feeling that he lost when Tohru Honda died, and at the same time like the intense shivers he felt when he touched Tenshi's hands. A little bit wildly he tried to trace the feelings of connection he felt and when he didn't find it he clutched his pajama top in reflex as if to stop his heart from hurting and unerringly his eyes landed on a pair of pale yellow ribbons that an angel used to wear and he for the first time in 2 years wept for a lost unfulfilled love…
At the same time as these events happened to Yuki, Kyo awoke from memories and a loving voice that called his name in acceptance and friendship and he smiled and said Arigato Tohru …
Meanwhile in the other parts of the house, Kisa awoke for once peacefully without nightmares of death and isolation but instead dreamt of laughter from her oneechan, and cuddled softly between Hiro and Momiji on the sofa bed and feel asleep again dreaming serenely of blue eyes and onigiris.
While Hana safe in Akito's arms while standing in the living room suddenly opened her eyes and straightened at attention having felt the denpa waves of a long lost friend for just an instant before it went away, relaxing instantly in her husbands calming embrace.
In the following morning after the happy party, Hatori having woken up with a hangover was enjoying a cup of strong black coffee on the porch quietly reminiscing about the snow question; What comes after the snow melts? And fondly remembers the onigiri's smiling face… While Shigure and Ayame blinkingly and slowly makes tea and coffee at the kitchen while nursing incredible hangovers. While Yuki was for once peacefully slumbering after his bout of tears.
The two awake hangover victims were interrupted in their pain induced misery when Akito and their cousins all trampled in the kitchen noisily to make a late breakfast, which caused Shigure to whimper when he was tapped on the head by Kagura, while Ayame was being harassed by an amused Haru.
So the little house in the woods, was happily awakening to a new day and unknowingly for it's inhabitants some surprises will come there way….
