Chapter 8: Five Years As Of Now
Princess Sango
Five years later to the day…
Tohru, now 21, woke up to someone jumping and tickling her, what a way to wake up huh, yelling, "Mommy, mommy!"
Tohru opened her eyes to come face to face with her son Kazuki, the dragon, and he looked so much like Yuki. "Happy Birthday Kazuki-kun!"
"You didn't forget!"
"Of course we wouldn't Kazuki-kun," Tomiko answered from the door, now 14 years old, taller and much more mature.
"Mommy, come on, Tomiko poured the salt already!" he yelled as he ran out of the room.
Tohru smiled as she got up and saw the line of salt from the doorway to the door. She opened the door and walked to the end of the line with Tomiko, "Go ahead, we're waiting."
Kazuki nodded and set his foot in the door and started walking towards them and when he reached Tohru he flung himself at her, "I'm a year older with no worries!"
Tohru laughed as Tomiko got the broom and swept the extra salt out the door. Kissing his head Tohru and Tomiko smiled as they let him talk about the one big present he wants for his birthday, and the words were plain and simple, "Mom I want to go to Tokyo."
Tohru and Tomiko stopped in their tracks and looked down at the boy who was pleading with his purple eyes.
Sohma's…
Yuki woke up and realized his son was one year older, which meant he was separated from Tohru for another year. He had so many questions and the one that popped up the most, 'Does our son know about the curse, has he transformed, does he know about his daddy?'
Yuki shook his head as he went to the kitchen and saw Shigure and Kyo but no Kagura yet. "Where's Kagura Kyo?"
"I don't care right now," Kyo mumbled.
"What do you mean you don't care?" Kagura cried out as she came inside, stomach slowly but surely bulging from her pregnancy.
Yuki smiled, "I wonder if Tohru was like that?"
"I bet she wasn't Yuki, she was too nice to be as mean Kagura is. No offence," Shigure said when Kagura glared.
"He's five today, Kazuki Sohma is five."
"You've been counting?"
"Yeah, I wish I knew him," he said sulkily.
"You probably will meet up again soon, don't ask why but I feel like something like that is going to happen soon," Shigure said.
"How do you know?" they asked.
"Call it animal instincts," Shigure said mysteriously, and all three were confused instantly.
He just didn't know it was sooner than what he thought…
