Okay, this is my first Fruits Basket fic! So it's a little change in pace.
It's actually NOT a one-shot! So if it seems a bit choppy, please forgive
me!
It's about when Hatori and Kana were together, and I plan on ending it with Kana's memory being erased. So, here it is!
Discalimers: I forget who Fruits Basket belongs to, but it's not me.
Chapter One: First Days
Hatori knocked on the door lightly, and wondered why he did, knowing that he was allowed in anyway. He opened the door and entered, closing it behind him and carrying his bag beside him. He looked out onto the open porch, and saw Akito sitting there, a bird on his finger. It was as if Akito never heard him come in. "Akito", Hatori started. "How are you feeling this morning? Any better?"
Akito slowly turned around as the bird flew off of his finger and onto a tree branch. He took his time walking over to Hatori and replied, "Somewhat. I can finally breath normally again, but my head still aches."
Hatori nodded as he took out a stethescope , placing it on his ears and brought the silver part up to Akito's chest. "Breathe slowly", he told him and listened. It sounded okay as he took it off of his ears and placed it back in his bag. "Alright, Akito, you're doing much better. Now I'm off to work." He turned for the door.
"But what about the headaches?" Akito asked, somewhat harshly.
Hatori turned around quickly, saying, "They're just part of the recovery. If you stay outside long enough, it should clear your head up. But, take it easy for now." He turned back around and exited the room.
He checked his watch and cursed. "Dammit, I'm going to be late", he muttered as he ran to his car. He quickly started it up, and sped out of the estate, nearly knocking down the mailboxes as he drove.
The whole way there, horns blared at him as he went well over the speed limit. He noticed it started to snow, and smiled a bit to himself. He loved the snow, and was almost disappointed that he had to work today. But, of course, it was winter, so that meant sick children, and he had to be there because all of the other doctors were on vacation. Stupid sick days. And to top it all off, there was supposed to be a new assistant for him. He hoped this one at least had enough brains to carry out what he wanted. The last few were all stupid, and caused a lot of prescriptions to be assigned to the wrong people.
Hatori reached the office in no time, and entered the building, brushing past all of the sick children. By the looks of things, they'd have a lot on their hands today. He stopped by the receptionist, as the giddy blonde smiled. "Good morning, Dr. Sohma", she greeted. He nodded to her, and she turned around, handing him a huge stack of thick folders.
Hatori's eyes widened as he carried the charts with both of his arms down the hallway to his office. As he trekked down the corridor, nurses and other doctors greeted him, some lively, some agitated. He acknowledged them all with a nod of the head, and finally reached his office, realized the door was closed and it was locked. He groaned as he tried to fish around in his pockets for the key, and was about to set the charts down, when he heard:
"Oh, hold on a minute, I can get it for you."
He stopped and turned around slightly to see a woman smiling at him. He blinked as she asked, "What pocket is your key in? I can help out", she offered.
"Uh...the left one", Hatori answered, a bit lost for words.
She stepped forward and put her hand in his pocket, and swiftly took out the key. She smiled at him again, and unlocked the door, opening it and let him in first. Hatori nodded to her and entered the door, dumping the files onto his desk, relieved. He picked up the first one, shifting his glasses over his eyes. The woman still stood at the door as she introduced herself. "Hello, my name is Kana Sohma. I'm your new assistant, but I didn't realize that I'd be working for family. Of course, we're pretty distant in relation."
Hatori greeted her. "Hello, now let's get to work, shall we? These are today's charts and -"
"Oh wow, look, it's snowing!" Kana exclaimed, more than likely oblivious that she interrupted him. She dropped her bag and walked over to the window, that same big smile on her face.
Hatori looked up from his chart, and set it on his desk, walking over to the window and standing beside Kana. "Hey, I've got a question for you", Kana said. "When the snow melts, what does it become?"
Hatori blinked. "Simple, it turns into water." He was also dumbfounded that she laughed.
"Err! Nope!" she said, laughingly. "It turns into spring! Because when it all melts, I know that spring is right on the way!"
Hatori stared at her in awe. He had never heard that before, and was about to say something in reply, when a knock came on the door. Kana answered it, and looked back at Hatori. "Doctor, the patients are growing restless. We should get started."
With a nod, Hatori walked over to his desk, handing her a few charts. They exited the room, as Kana made the comment of: "You sure do nod a lot, careful or you'll nod your head right off your shoulders."
~~
Well, the day went off pretty well, Hatori thought. They managed to get through everyone, and still have some free time. So, there Hatori sat in his office, enjoying his late lunch. Kana poked her head in. "Excuse me, Doctor", she began. Hatori looked up at her as she asked rather shyly, "Is it alright if I eat my lunch in here? That cafeteria's really crowded, and you're the only one I know."
"Of course you can, Kana", Hatori said, and she smiled, walking over to her small desk and unwrapping her lunch. "I have an extra rice ball. Would you like it?" she offered.
Hatori smiled, and said, "That'd be nice, thanks", taking the rice ball and took a bite out of it. "Did you make this yourself? It's excellent."
"Oh, yes, sir, I did", she answered meekly.
Hatori chuckled. "You know you don't have to call me 'sir'. You can just call me Hatori if you wish."
Kana looked up at him, and smiled again. "Alright, Hatori, thanks", she said, going back to her lunch.
Hatori glanced at her and saw that she always had that same smile on her face. It was hard to believe that she could still smile like that after such a hard first day. But, it was refreshing to see that she was enjoying herself. That meant she'd be willing to help even the sickest of patients.
Maybe, this wouldn't be so bad after all.
~ End Chapter! ~
Sorry that was so short guys! The first chapter's always the hardest for me! I have a feeling the later chapters will be more enjoyable.
But please review! The more reviews I get, the more ideas come to me, and the more enjoyable this fic can be!
Thanks for reading!
