Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I don't own any Fruits Basket stuff…
I would just like to say thank you to the people who have stuck with me through this, especially loritakitochan-you rock! Okey-dokey, here we go!
As some of the conversation resumed around Tohru and the twins, Shigure and Akito still had not said anything to each other since she had come in. Suddenly, Ayame launched into one of his famous monologues over Tohru's style talent.
"You absolutely MUST come work for me!" he gushed
"NO!" Kyo exclaimed, scared of what she might see in his shop.
"Actually," Tohru considered, "I think I will."
"YAY! To think a fount of such undiscovered talent should accept an offer to work in a humble and lowly shop such as mine!" Ayame was in his element.
"But," Tohru said with a severe expression, "I will pick my own hours and my own uniform."
Ayame had no choice but to agree, especially since Kyo was flexing his muscles behind his little wife. The twins cooed and giggled and released tension from the scene. Tohru once again had eyes only for her children and most everyone else was the same. Two of the people in the room, however, had removed themselves quietly to the other side of the compound and were walking around.
"Akito," the dog ventured unsurely.
"Yes Shigure?" Akito asked, just as scared.
"Um, what's with all this finery all of a sudden?" he asked, suddenly at a loss for the fine words he usually expressed himself with.
"Well…" she began her sentence but never got to finish it.
I know it's short but it's the best I could do when recovering from writer's block! Read and Review please! Arigato!
