Chapter 18: Sour Lollipops and Sweet Additions

Princess Sango

Last Time:

Tohru looked up at Hatori straight in the eye, "Did you have a son before you and Kana got split up?"

This Time:

Hatori diverted his eyes and nodded, "Hai we did have one, but she gave it up. A cursed child, yes, I know it."

Tohru smiled and shook her head, "I met him-or them, fine young men they turned out to be."

Hatori looked surprised, "You met them, are they normal?"

"No, they're burdened by the curse but by the rabbit and the monkey. They know Kazuki very well, I found them out when I hugged them for the first time, yes they're Sohma's and I wasn't sure if they were yours or not so I didn't tell them but well, they're coming over here to live."

"What are their names, I never knew," Hatori questioned her.

"Taru and Takeshi, both are Tomiko's ages and they're coming tomorrow, they had called," Tohru answered.

Hatori nodded as he started to prepare himself, he was meeting his sons, his fourteen year old sons, the ones he was deprived of, just like Yuki. Yet the difference was Yuki has time to make up, he doesn't. "Thank-you Miss Honda, why don't you go find Yuki and Kazuki, I need to be alone for awhile."

Tohru smiled and hugged him, "You'll be okay Hatori-san, I watched them grow up when I moved there, they're great kids."

With that she left and headed over to the park, knowing Kazuki well enough by now, and sure enough there they were, father and son on the swings. Running up towards them Kazuki and Yuki caught sight of her and waved. When Tohru was in front of them, she smiled and hugged Kazuki to herself before going and hugging Yuki the same way. "Why don't we head home for now? It's getting late and I'm sure you're hungry?"

Kazuki nodded enthusiastically and tugged on his parents hands which dragged them all the way home. When they arrived home Shigure was there and cooking dinner, which surprised Tohru but she didn't say anything as Kazuki sat at the table and watched Shigure cook with observant eyes. In came Tomiko, all smiles with two people behind her, "Mom, look who came by early, it's Taru and Takeshi!"

Taru seemed shy but smiled and waved, trying to pull his hair into his face, how much he looked like his father. While Takeshi was wearing punk clothes and his wild unruly hair made him look like a young Kana maybe. Running up and hugging the two boys I smiled, "So you did! It's so nice to see you two!"

That's when two more people came inside, and those two people happened to be Hatori and Kana.
