Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, and the only time I do is when I'm on crack. No actually I never owned it. The story belongs to Natsuki Takaya and not me. I also don't own 'Take me away' either. It was my friend's poem.
Well, this will be the last chapter to this story. Yesterday, I finally got to watch the Fruits Basket anime. I realized that there is another girl named Minami, but she is in Yuki's fan club. Just to tell you my Minami is not the same girl, for anyone who is confused. And this chapter is indeed a lime, no lemons. I never go that far unless it's Fushigi Yuugi. Please treat my last chapter kindly. We will meet again!
Chapter 12: A gentile touch.
"Minami, wait!"
Kyou walked passed the art room and cornered Minami by the front door. She looked him in the eye and began to sob. He could refuse her and still be in her mind. Nothing ever mattered. He grabbed her by the arm to stop her from leaving.
"Kyou let go of me! I know when I'm not wanted so let go!"
She ripped his hand from her arm and began to run. She ran past the teacher's parking lot, and then the convenience store. She suddenly stopped. A voice she recognized was behind her.
"Minami, why would you be out here at this time?" she recognized this to be Hatori. He sat near his car with a lighter in one hand, and a cigarette box in the other. He was parked near the overpass. The place Tohru had finally met Haru. He got up and walked to her.
"Ha...hatori." she sputtered "What are you doing here?"
"I was on my why back to the main Sohma estate." He replied. "Shouldn't you be heading over to Shigure's after school?"
Minami fell over gripping Hatori's leg. She cried making Hatori uncomfortable. She held him, making sure he didn't transform.
"Hatori, am I repulsive? Will I ever have a chance with Kyou?" she muttered.
"Minami, clam down. What do you mean?" he asked.
"I listened to what you said, and I do feel that Kyou is an important person in my life. That is the same way you felt with Kanna, isn't it? I told him that I love him, Hatori what do I do? He didn't even respond. He doesn't love me back." she cried.
Hatori looked at her shocked. This was not the smiling Minami he always saw. This was no the Minami he respected. She completely broke down not thinking about the world around her. All she thought about was how he rejected her, which was not the case.
Hatori grabbed Minami and lifted her into the front seat of the car. She kept whispering, muttering the same sentence.
"He...hates me...he'll never love me..."
Hatori turned on the radio. Just as he was about to drive her to Shigure's, she stopped him. She latched onto his arm and with a poof, he transformed into a seahorse. Minami just stared at him for a second, without a reaction until...
"Oh my god! Water? Seawater? What do you want Hatori?" she freaked out.
All he thought silently was why all women had the same reaction seeing hi as a seahorse. Was it that all the women were insane? No, he couldn't say that about Kanna or Tohru. Maybe Minami, but that was it.
There was another poof and Hatori was back and naked. Minami quickly turned away and threw him his clothing. It took about 10 minutes for him to get them back on. Have you ever tried changing in the car? Nope it's too hard.
"Minami, Kyou doesn't hate you. Have you noticed his strange behavior? I've been there once too." He said. "Kyou loves you Minami. I can tell. You just have to let him say it his own way."
When they got to the driveway, Minami saw Kyou waiting for her patiently on the steps. Hatori nudged her out since she was frozen in place. Suddenly there was a ringing sound and Hatori's cell phone began to ring. The moment he picked it up, his face blanched.
Minami headed inside and past Kyou. He got pissed off, thinking that she was avoiding him. When she got into her room, Kyou followed her and locked the door. They finally stood face to face. Minami was nervous, her face turning red. She backed up into her bed and fell over with Kyou on top of her. She blushed.
"Minami, why are you avoiding me?" he asked gently. His arm held him from transforming into a cat. His eyes were serious and he showed no fear.
"Kyou...I...I'm afraid." She whispered.
Kyou looked at her with clueless. He didn't know what she was talking about. He leaned over to her face and stroked it with his hand. She moved out of the way, not to hurt him.
"Kyou, I'm not supposed to fall in lov..."
Kyou grabbed her close to him just before he planted a kiss on her lips. There was a poof and he sat in her lap. The orange cat just looked her in the eyes. Minami didn't know what had just happened. Did Kyou just kiss her? She put her hands to her face covering herself from blushing.
"Kyou...did you..."
Kyou snuggled within her chest. Rubbing his fur all over her and purring.
"Minami, I love your smell." He said.
She blushed even more. She picked Kyou up by the arms and planted a kiss upon his nose. She then hugged him tight. She lay there for a second with no interruptions. Minami then let him go and laid him on the floor. She laughed.
"You know Kyou?" she said. "I've always wanted a cute kitty."
Kyou growled. He jumped onto her bed and turned away. Minami looked startled. She poked Kyou in the back playfully.
"Kyou, are you mad at me?" she whined.
"Just don't call me cute." He snarled. "I hate that."
Before Minami leaned over to hug the cat, there was another poof, and Kyou changed back. Minami was pushed off of the bed and stared at a naked Kyou. She turned away covering her eyes.
"Umm...Kyou shouldn't you get clothes on?" she asked.
She then felt a tight hand pull her into a kiss. Kyou had put on his pants, but his shirt was left on the floor in shambles. She felt his soft lips deepen the kiss so she went on. He cupped her chin within his hand and let go. She blushed. Kyou pulled her head towards his chest and hugged her once more.
"Minami I love you so much." He said.
She cuddled up with the cat on the floor sleeping. He kept kissing her on the cheek. It didn't matter if Kyou was different. They now were together. The door to the room opened. Hatori came rushing in. He noticed the cat and Minami sleeping so he nudged her to wake up. Her eyes opened and saw Hatori hovering above her.
"Hatori what is it?" she gently pushed Kyou away, not to wake him up.
"Akito wants you to come with me to the main house."
"What do you mean Hatori?" she said shakily.
"He's giving me the order. "He replied. Minami looked at Kyou still on the ground and then at Hatori. She began to cry. She grabbed him by the shirt.
"Hatori, no! Please I don't want to forget! I don't want to forget Kyou!"
"We have no choice, but to listen to Akito."
Minami was blindfolded as the reached Akito's room. When they opened up the door, Akito was sitting by the window, playing with the unusual white bird. He turned his head and finally noticed Minami. He smirked and walked her way.
"Now, Minami you know why you are here?" he sniggered. "Do you?" he said more fiercely.
She nodded. He walked around her in circles, like a hawk circling its prey. Minami wondered what might happen next. She knew Akito wasn't as kind as most people thought he was.
"Hatori, erase her memories now." He said calmly.
Akito saw the fear in her eyes. She whispered out loud.
"Akito, you know this is wrong...I love Kyou...It must be sad to... be in this position..."
Akito grabbed her by the shirt and threw her at the wall.
"Don't you talk to me?" He rounded on Hatori. "Hatori erase her memories!"
Hatori staggered to where Minami was sitting, crying in the corner of the room. Akito was trying to clam himself down. He watched intensively.
"Hatori..." Minami whispered. "Tell Kyou...for me that I love him very much...no matter if he had a curse or not...tell him please." Hatori placed his hand on her forehead.
"Goodbye..."
There was a flash of light and everything was over. Hatori picked Minami up and brought her outside and called her cousin. She picked up the other line.
'Hello.'
'This is Hatori Sohma, Minami is here and she needs a ride to your house.'
'Alright and what do you want me to do about it?' she asked.
'She lost her memory and needs your help to drive her there. Don't tell her about me though.'
The moment Kyou found out about Minami it was too late. At school she was escorted by a couple of people so that she would not be seen with the Sohma's. Kyou would lock himself up in his room each night, not to be seen. Her memories would never return. He would sneak to Minami's dojo and look through her window just to see her.
'So.' He thought 'This is how it all ends.'
Oh no! I'm thinking of making a sequel since I really didn't like the ending of this, so review to tell me all of your suggestions...I really would like to hear them...anyway like I said I will see you soon...In the Future!
