Yuki and Tohru had gone home directly after dessert and the two of them slept, holding one another to keep warm. Yuki woke halfway through the night and he looked upon his beloved Tohru's sweet face. Her breath was slow and complete and Yuki just lie there watching her body heave with each breath. He loved the way that her hair flowed out from her to the sheets. He leaned forward to smell her hair and he sighed after smelling the sweet sensation of raspberry. He stroked her hair and put both arms around her. He then pulled her closer to him allowing their bodies to mold together as one unit. He laid his head just far enough away from her hair to smell raspberry and fell back to sleep.
The next day Tohru woke rolling over to face her lover, companion, fiancé, and friend. He was asleep and his face was relaxed and void of stress and pain. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him, slowly massaging his tongue with hers. Yuki instantly awoke rubbing her back as he lovingly returned her kiss. A while later the two broke apart still holding the other as Tohru said,
"I'm going to go tell mom that I'm getting married. She'll be ecstatic!" Tohru said half heartedly as she began to cry. Yuki immediately became concerned wiping a tear from her eye as he kissed her asking,
"What's wrong?" She said through her tears,
"Mom and I planned my wedding when I was a little girl and she'll never see it!" She buried her face on Yuki's naked shoulder as she cried for the memory of her mother for the first time in what seemed like forever. Yuki calmly patted her head and said,
"Tohru she can still see us. She will be at the wedding, watching her only baby girl get married." Tohru looked up at Yuki's smiling face asking,
"Do you think so?" He nodded,
"I know so. She wouldn't miss it for the world." Yuki thought he heard in the back of his mind,
'You bet your ass I wouldn't' He took it as a good creepy thing and moved on.
"We will go see her today and tell her together, although I have a funny feeling she already knows." Tohru nodded.
"OK!"
A few hours later the two of them were dressed casually heading towards the cemetery listening to some Russian song that neither understood. Yuki took the last turn and turned off the car after parking. Yuki got out rushing to the other side to open Tohru's door.
"Thanks," She said as he shut it after helping her out and taking her hand in his. They walked to Tohru's mother's grave and Tohru sat down respectfully before it.
"Hi Mom! We came to tell you that we are getting married! Yuki proposed last night isn't it wonderful?" Yuki chimed in,
"I promise to take very good care of your daughter."
"You better," Hana said from behind the two of them, "Or else I would be forced to hinder your body useless for all of eternity." Yuki gulped but had no fear. He would always watch over Tohru and he would never let any harm come to her. Tohru stood hugging Hana saying,
"Sorry we didn't tell you first but I thought Mom should be the first to know."
"It's all right I understand completely; however, I am still very happy for you Tohru," Hana began to cry.
"What is it Hana?" Hana burst forward hugging Tohru so hard that Yuki almost felt the need to intervene.
"OUR LITTLE TOHRU HAS GROWN UP!" She sobbed. Finally Yuki got Hana off of Tohru with immense effort and the two of them departed. On the way back to Shigure's home Yuki inferred,
"When do you want to move in to our house and when do you want to get married?" Tohru shrugged,
"Well I'd like to get married in the spring when all the flowers start to bloom and everything is in blossom. Just like us!" Yuki smiled turning for a moment to watch Tohru as he grabbed her hand with one of his. When he turned back to face the road the light was green but two cars that were racing slammed into the side of the car that Tohru was on and Yuki blacked out…
He woke some time later on a bed in the ER with nurses flying all around. A sharp pain in his side was all that seemed to be wrong but the way they were acting he was dying. He asked,
"Where is Tohru?" Barely audible as a doctor yelled,
"MORE SUCTION DAMN IT!" He tried again a bit louder this time,
"Where is Tohru?" The doctor's continued to ignore him,
"I need two more clamps here and here! Give me more suction."
"Sir his left ventricle has stopped bleeding."
"Good now pump him up on morphine get someone in here to clean him up and Mildred you close him up."
"Right away sir," Yuki was becoming agitated,
"WHERE IS TOHRU!" A doctor with bloody gloves and a mask walked to where Yuki could see him.
"What is Ms. Honda to you?" Yuki muttered,
"She is my fiancée."
"She was badly injured son. She has a severe concussion, a fractured skull, numerous cuts and bruises, she had to undergo surgery to remove a piece of metal from her chest and for now she is stable." Yuki said through his tears,
"No matter what anyone in my family tells you, make sure that you do everything within your power to help her." He asked,
"Why would anyone in you family tell us not to,"
"Because the head of our family does everything in his power to hurt me," The doctor asked,
"So you are a member of the Sohma family?" Yuki nodded. "Alright then I'll put you both down as VIP patients and I'll use your living will as a guideline for what to do with Ms. Honda alright." Yuki said before passing out,
"Thank you."
A few hours later Yuki woke up in a hospital bed with gauze around his entire chest and abdomen along with his left arm and neck. When he sat up slowly, using his bed controls to make it rise with him, Shigure perked up and rushed to his side.
"Are you all right?" He asked. Yuki replied,
"I think so." Shigure said,
"Good," then smacked him upside the head. "If you ever scare me like that again I'll lock you in Akito's evil room!" Yuki wasn't in the mood for his smart mouth he was worried sick,
"Is Tohru alright? They told me she was bad off." Shigure sat down and ran his hands through his hair.
"Look Yuki, I'm not going to lie to you so here goes. Tohru might not recover. She has been in Intensive Care for a day now and… I think you should prepare for the worst." Yuki shook his head,
"I can't, she can't. She isn't going to," He held back some of his tear, "die Shigure. I won't let her." Yuki sat in thought for a moment, "Take me to her." Shigure shook his head,
"Hatori said not to let you leave this room." Yuki looked at him clenching a fist,
"Take me to her damn it or I'm going by myself!" Shigure stood up, startled, and saluted immediately putting Yuki in a wheelchair and hooked the IV to it. When the two of them reached Intensive Care a nurse said only one could go in at a time. Shigure said he was first put Yuki put his elbow in Shigure's gut as he tried to walk inside.
"Like hell. Take me in please." The nurse first asked Shigure,
"So you need medical attention?" He shook his head from side to side and since speech was not an option. "Alright. Right this way Mr. Sohma." The nurse rolled him into a tiny room with two entrance one leading into an operating room and the other leading to the waiting room. One bed lie next to a wall with Tohru on it wrapped all over in bandages. She had a breathing tube in her throat one IV in her hand and another in her arm. She rolled him next to the bed and walked over to a chair next to the other wall. Yuki took his beloved Tohru's hand and kissed her fingertips. He cried on her bed sheets and begged,
"Please god, don't take her from me. Don't die Tohru… don't die." As he lay his head down next to her hand she began to breathe on her own but instead she started to choke on the tube allowing her air previously. The nurse jumped from her chair and quickly snapped on some gloves removing the tube from her throat. The nurse checked her vitals and her eyes widened.
"Mr. Sohma I wouldn't worry anymore she now has the necessary vitals for her operation." The nurse pressed a red button on the wall and what seemed like a hundred doctors rushed in wheeling Tohru off. Yuki was right at their heels wheeling himself into the OR.
"Hey what operation?" The nurse faced him and said,
"We are going to go in and remove some glass from one of Ms. Honda's main arteries. Should we fail in that then we will install a fake one; however, you will have to wait outside." She wheeled him out despite his protests and he sat with Shigure in the waiting room.
A couple hours later a burly Asian doctor came out of Tohru's room.
"We succeeded in removing the glass successfully from Ms. Honda and she didn't loose too much blood. She should be out of here in a couple of weeks."
Yuki was out in two more days and he had been at the hospital almost every waking moment and many sleeping moments staying by her side. She had spoken to him yesterday and today she had touched his face and they had talked for an hour before she slept again. Yuki had told her how he had never been so scared in his life and he still felt a little squeamish when he thought of the accident. Uo and Hana had come by earlier that day and they didn't blame Yuki but instead they comforted him and wept with him. Tomorrow was Tohru's last day but Yuki said that should they need to keep her longer that he didn't mind. Mildred, that is one of the many nurses which Yuki had come to know, told him that it wouldn't be necessary and the reason she had been sleeping so much was just because she had been tired before the accident as well and that the moment they left the hospital she were be her usual chipper self again.
So the next day Tohru stood up from bed shocking Yuki as she took of her hospital robe and dressed in the clothes that he had brought from the house. She kissed him,
"Good morning handsome." He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her closer and buried his head on her shoulder.
"I am so glad your all better." She put her hand on his face making him face her,
"I'm fine and you're okay too aren't you?" She wiped a tear from his eye as he nodded,
"Then let's not dwell on this. Let's start planning our future together." Yuki smiled and picked her up kissing her.
"It's spring." She nodded.
"Then were (now singing) GOING TO THE CHAPEL AND WERE, GONNA GET MAAARIED GOING TO THE CHAPEL AND WERE GONNA GET MAAAAAAARIED!" Yuki laughed as he sat her in the wheelchair,
"We are not playing that at the reception." She laughed,
"Sure we are." They both chuckled and left the hospital.
