Chapter 19:Son and Night

Princess Sango

Kana smiled at the two new guests, "Hi there, are you friends of Tohru's too?"

Taru nodded shyly and Tomiko laughed at him and slapped the two brothers on the back, "These are my friends from elementary school, I've known them practically my whole life."

Taru blushed deeper as Hatori seemed to drift into the background and observed his two sons, "Wouldn't it be awkward?"

Tohru noticed Hatori's distance and pulled Yuki aside. "What?" he asked her curiously.

"Those are Hatori's sons out there! Maybe you should talk to him, so he would know what to expect," Tohru answered him.

"Those are his sons? Wait Tohru, there's a difference, and Kazuki-chan is just a kid who can still know me. You're talking about Hatori, the one who can't even open up to us most of the time. Kana knows she had two boys but even she didn't want to find them, because well…they're both afraid," Yuki answered truthfully, "They were as afraid as I was when I first met Kazuki but I'm glad I did."

Tohru hugged him but slid away, "Taru and Takeshi both know I know who their parents are. They've begged me, but I only told them that all it took was a slip and they'd say my name. Now they need to know their parents, please talk to him."

Yuki nodded and hugged her back, practically crushing her, and when he pulled away he went to talk to Hatori. Smiling Tohru pulled Takeshi and Taru into her room, "You came here to find your parents right?"

Taru nodded, feeling comfortable around Tohru, only her, since she had taken them in practically and raised them. "Are they in this house Tohru-chan?"

Tohru nodded, "You'll find out soon enough, since your father is a very important person now in the Sohma family."

"He's important, that's cool, hope I can live up to his expectations because you know me Tohru-san," Takeshi answered while he played around with his MP3 player. That's when Hatori came inside the room.

"Tohru, can you leave please?" Hatori asked her nicely, a hint of nervousness showing in his voice.

When she got up to leave she looked over at Taru and Takeshi and winked and nudged Hatori slightly as she walked out of the room. Letting out a deep breath Hatori answered the boy's looks, "I'm your father, Sohma Hatori."

Takeshi looked at the person who claimed to be his father and smiled, "I'm Takeshi, older brother of the two. That there is your other son, Taru, who is so shy!"

Taru blushed but nodded to his father as Takeshi seemed to enjoy it, and Taru on the other hand said nothing, and inside came Kana, "Hatori, I think I should have a check up soon."

Hatori looked over at Kana and his face softened, "Okay Kana-chan we'll check you up, but there's someone I'd like you to meet, these are our sons, Taru and Takeshi."

Kana gasped and almost went to hug them when she stopped, "They're like Kazuki aren't they?"

Hatori nodded to her, "Tohru told me one's a monkey and the other's a rabbit. Which one, you'll have to ask them."

Takeshi walked up to his mother, "I'm the rabbit and Taru's the monkey, its okay mom, we don't mind transforming." Before she could say anything Takeshi had hugged her first and a rabbit appeared in her arms, "So kawai, just like Momiji-kun!"

Smiling as Taru transformed in came Kazuki, "Hey that's no fair!"

Hatori ruffled the boy's hair and picked him up, "What, you want to transform too?"

Kazuki nodded but then shook his head, "Maybe later, when they're not hogging up the attention."

Hatori laughed at his nephew and set him down as Yuki and Tohru came inside with Tomiko. "See what did I tell you, they're fine."

"Luckily mom, hopefully they'll start my school and Takeshi and I could lie and say we're going out, make everyone jealous!" Tomiko said as she started planning in her mind.

Tohru laughed and clung onto Yuki, "Why don't we go for a walk Yuki, it's a beautiful night."

Yuki nodded and they walked out of the room and out into the forest. The night was warm and quiet and they seemed close there under the starts. Yuki and Tohru stopped at a cliff and sat down, not bothering to look down, knowing the drop was huge. Leaning down and kissing her, Tohru kissed back and when they pulled apart she whispered, "Do you remember five years ago? That night?"

"How could I forget?" Yuki asked himself more then to her, since he had dreams that he called nightmares where Tohru was still there and happy, but when he woke up in a sweat and find her not there he would go into an automatic depression. Stroking Tohru's face he smiled, "I had dreams while you were gone, you were back here and happy. I told you its okay you were pregnant, I told you that you were safe here."

Tohru smiled as he heard him ramble on and on until he stopped. "I dreamt about you too Yuki-kun. I had dreams of that night where I said no, we were happy together, but I don't want Kazuki not to be born, since everything turned out for the best."

"I believe it did Tohru-kun, I believe it did…"
