DISCLAIMER: I do not own Fruits Basket, although I do own some of my own characters that may appear in some of the chapters. (Kagura's new love interest maybe)

A/N: Well, here it is. The eleventh and final chapter. I have a writer's block but I shall try and make this last one count. Thank you all for such great reviews. I could never have finished this without the input of my readers. Thank you all.

Chapter Eleven: Getting Back In The Swing

*******

"Prince Yuki is back! He's back!" a swarm of girls surrounded the annoyed Sohma boy.

"Yuki! Where were you? What happened? Why were you gone?" the girls all asked basically the same question.

"If you will please excuse me, I have to get the homework that I missed," Yuki smiled politely pushing his way through the crowd who groaned loudly.

"But..." they started.

"Leave him alone you lowlifes," Kagura sighed leaning casually against the wall with Uo and Hana.

"Yes, you really should all get a life," Uo sighed as Hana's eyes began to glow.

"Uh... we'll see you later Prince Yuki!" the girls screamed running off down the hall.

"You didn't have to do that," Yuki smiled walking over to the girls.

"Hey. I'm just looking out for my younger cousin," Kagura smiled.

"Right," Yuki smiled looking around. "Where's Tohru?"

"She's in the library helping Kyo with his Geometry," Uo answered nodding down the hall.

"Oh," Yuki looked a little disappointed. "Well... I guess I'll go get that homework then."

"Have fun," Kagura grinned as Yuki walked off down the hall.

"Did you see that Honda girl. She was with Yuki all morning and they were laughing and talking..." one of the fan club girls was saying to her friend.

"And I thought I saw them holding hands," another growled.

"No. Our Prince wouldn't do that," the first girl said holding her head high. "He would never do such a horrible thing."

"Oh yeah," the second girl pointed at the window. The girls all ran to the window and looked down. Yuki and Tohru were walking hand in hand across the school yard below the window. Then Yuki bent down and kissed Tohru's cheek. "AH!"

"DID YOU SEE THAT! OUR BELOVED YUKI! HE....HE.... KISSED HER!" the girls began running about the room in a panic. "My life is ruined! How will I ever go on with my life?"

"Hey, I've got an idea, and I think I've even said it before... Get A Life," Kagura and Kyo stood in the doorway of the room grinning.

"K-Kagura," the girls stammered looking nervously at the upper class-man. "This is none of your business."

"Well, if it involves Yuki, then it is our business. Just leave him alone okay?" Kyo said nicely.

"Go away, this is a private meeting," the head girl announced putting her hands firmly on her hips.

"Whatever... we have better things to do," Kagura said as they turned to leave. "Oh, and don't forget: I'm watching you."

"So, how was your first day back?" Tohru asked as they walked down the street towards Shigure's.

"Apart from the swarms of fan club girls, it wasn't all that bad. I missed a lot though," Yuki smiled. "Lots of homework."

"I've got about the same amount as you. We can do it together," Tohru smiled taking his hand.

"Mhmm... then we'll be getting back into the swing," Yuki grinned.

"Prince Yuki.... I can see it now. Your name in lights, thousands of girls screaming your name. No place for you to hide. No one to protect you. Yep, that'll be the back into the swing alright," Tohru winked. "But you're my Prince."

"And you're my princess," Yuki smiled kissing her on the cheek. "And maybe one day, we'll live happily ever after..."

"Til the end of our days," Tohru smiled as they disappeared around a corner.

And so, live went on as normal again. The girls never stopped bothering Yuki and they would never leave Tohru alone. Of course, she had her friends there to look out for her and Yuki told them off many times. Life at the main house was a lot different too. Hatori got a job as a real doctor and found someone of his own. Momiji, well... its hard to say if he ever really grew up. Haru still had problems with his dark and light sides and Shigure's editor was always breathing down his back. Ayame's shop was just the same, really nothing about him or Shigure changed much. Kyo and Kagura, well, they ended up getting married in the end. And let's just say that the Prince and Princess lived happily ever after.

A/N: Well, there you have it. The end. Thankies all for the great reviews. I'm just glad that I can stop worrying about this story because I have a lot of school work to do. Fourth quarter is always the worst. Anyway... R&R to this chappie too! I'd like to know what you all thought.
