Sorry about the last chapter being so short. I promise that they'll get longer. Chapter one was only 1 1/2 pages in my composition book so I knew it was going to be short. But I hope that I will have some loyal reviewers soon. Another thing, sorry if there is slight or major OOCness and a lot of dialogue.
(Disclaimer: refer to chapter one)
Chapter 2
Adoption
"Yes?" a 27 year old Tohru said answering the phone.
"It's Hatori, Tohru you and Kyo were thinking about having a child, correct?"
Tohru smiled and responded, "Yes. Why do you ask?"
"I have recently acquired an abandon infant named Sakura and I was wondering if you would be willing to adopt her?"
"I would love that! But may I ask… why she was abandon?" Tohru inquired.
Hatori sighed on the other end of the phone, "Unfortunately she's the newest addition to the long line of Cats."
Tohru blinked and looked over to her husband sitting at the kitchen table. Kyo gave her a questioning look as she replied to Hatori: "Oh I see. Um...let me ask Kyo."
Hatori nodded, although neither Tohru nor Kyo noticed on the other end of the phone.
Kyo stood up from the table when he heard her say his name and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Yes Honey?" Kyo purred with the sweetest tone of voice that is humanly or catly possible, causing Tohru to blush and giggle.
"Hatori has a baby that we could adopt. So can we?" Tohru asked Kyo with a gleam in her eyes. "He said that she had been abandon at birth because she holds the Sohma family curse."
"Which one?"
"The cat."
Kyo bristled and at the same time was surprised. 'How could someone be so cruel?' he thought to himself. Sorrow washed over him as he gazed into Tohru's eyes. "Tell Hatori… yes."
"Thank you!" Tohru squealed and kissed Kyo making sure that she didn't hug him.
"Hatori, he said yes," she told the doctor, who was waiting patiently on the phone for their answer.
Hatori smiled with relief. "That great. Would you like me to bring her to you tomorrow?"
"If it's not too much trouble…"
"Not at all," said the dragon. "See you then. Bye."
-The next day-
Kyo answered the door a few seconds after the doorbell rang throughout the house. Hatori stood there with a small bundle wrapped up in a pink blanket in his arms. "Hey Hatori," Kyo greeted warmly.
"Here she is, Kyo," Hatori said as he carefully handed the small child to Kyo.
Kyo took the baby in his arms and looked at her face (which was the only feature he could see that wasn't all wrapped up). She was starting to wake up from her long car ride snooze. "She's so beautiful."
"I figured you and Tohru would take good care of Sakura."
Kyo nodded, still staring at the child in his arms. "We will."
Hatori looked past Kyo and searched the hallways behind him. "By the way," he said, "where is Tohru?"
"She went to get some groceries and things for the baby," Kyo said as he held the sleepy little girl, who was trying not to cry.
So Kyo and Tohru took in Sakura as if she was their own daughter. But it was their misconception to not tell her of her true identity, so to speak. There wasn't much to worry about though. She went to an all girls academy from kindergarten through 9th grade. So as long as she kept her bracelet on she was fine.
Well at least until high school, when she would have her first real encounter with boys, which might pose as a problem….
