Chapter 30: Figure It Out

Princess Sango

Kazuki gripped Tohru's hand as they walked out of the room and back at the scene where Hana and Arisa sat there staring at the floor, "Tohru-chan, what just happened?"

Kazuki looked up at his mother and she gave him a reassuring smile, "There's now many people who know about it, but only limited people can know. The Sohma's are under a curse, you remember the story my mom told you, about the zodiac? Well I came upon the real thing."

Arisa and Hana looked more confused so Tohru sighed and said, "When hugged by members of the opposite sex they transform into a zodiac member, they're not sure why but they have the curse. Yuki is the rat, and the rest are different, Kazuki ended up with the dragon. Only if you're cursed by the member of the zodiac is when you can come into someone like them."

"Demo, Tohru-chan, how come you can?" Hana asked patiently.

"I was given what I needed to hold the zodiac members, but other than that I can't," Tohru answered them with a straight face, "You've got to keep this secret though."

Arisa and Hana nodded, both accepting the strangeness of this family rather quickly. They didn't ask any more questions and they all sat down to a delicious meal Tohru had cooked. Hana and Arisa soon after helped her clean the dishes and then went home, promising to keep the secret and that they would see Tohru again really soon.

Tohru then ran up the stairs and into Yuki's room where Kazuki was on Yuki's lap and they were watching something on this little portable DVD player. Yet Kazuki put it on pause and looked back, "Hi mommy, should I go to bed now?"

Tohru nodded as she picked up her son and took him out of her room and placed him under the sheets of her old bed. Told him a quick story and a goodnight before making her way to Yuki's room and saw him putting the DVD player away. She grabbed her pajamas and walked into the bathroom and changed quickly before coming back inside to see Yuki waiting, already changed and everything. Tohru practically collapsed on the bed and looked up at Yuki, "I love the idea of getting married, it's just the stress of doing the planning."

Yuki smiled and lay down next to her, "Well you just have to plan food and place, so that's going to be easy. So relax for now Tohru-chan, you have the easy parts, go ahead and sleep in tomorrow if you want."

"I couldn't do that!" Tohru said.

"Don't worry, you deserve a break, just sleep okay?"

Tohru nodded and closed her eyes as she felt Yuki stroking her face and she fell asleep before anyone could disturb her.

Wedding Day…

Tohru smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror, Ayame had done a great job on the dresses. They had decided the wedding was going to happen at the Sohma estate and it couldn't have been a better setting. Arisa and Hana were both there and Hana seemed a little melancholy. Tohru heard a knock on the door then, and there stood Shigure, "I know I'm not your dad, but I could be this one day?"

Tohru smiled as she let him inside and Hana and Arisa started their trek down the long aisle. Tohru hugged Shigure, "Thank-you Shigure-san, I thought I'd have to walk down this aisle all by myself."

"No, no Tohru-chan that couldn't happen," Shigure joked, "Let's start shall we?"

Tohru nodded as they walked out of the small room and began, and Tohru looked ahead to see Yuki standing there waiting, waiting for her. When she reached her place at the end of the aisle, Shigure sat back down and looked at the whole scene. Every cursed zodiac member was there, along with Momo, Megumi, a picture of her mom, and the other's that knew about the zodiac curse. They decided to do their own vows, and Yuki started first.

"Tohru-chan, you're amazing, able to care for our child for five years without me, and then you show up one day and accept me back, and you even move back here. I love you more than anything in the world, and I'm glad you'll be here again, with me," Yuki said lightly as he slipped the ring on her finger.

Tohru gave herself a minute and then looked back up at him, "Yuki-kun, I love you too, and I'm glad I'm back to stay. I myself love you the same way, and now we can do what we want together." She slipped his wedding band on her finger before blushing shyly.

Then came Hatori's voice, "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." Yuki and Tohru looked at each other and then leaned in for a quick kiss and then pulled apart and faced the crowd together. "May I introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Sohma!"

Everyone smiled and Tohru and Yuki walked down the aisle together this time, and Kazuki joined them in the middle. When they got done with that Yuki and Tohru made their way to the party where dancing, congratulations, and what not was going on. Kazuki wasn't bored though, since he had Megumi to bug, or even his own adopted siblings to play with.

Yuki and Tohru soon cut the cake and had fun smashing it into each other's faces and when everything settled down, and people started leaving Tohru and Yuki noticed the time, they had to head off to their honeymoon now. Yuki called out to Kazuki and he came running, along with Tomiko and Yoshiko, "Yes mommy?"

Kazuki looked up innocently, "We have to go somewhere for awhile, we'll be back soon. Your father and I will be back soon, and I'll call you and bring you back something special okay? You just have to be a good boy okay?"

Kazuki nodded and hugged her parents as Tomiko and Yoshiko waited for their own turns. When they left Shigure looked at them, "You two have fun, I'll take care of the kids for you. Bye you two!"

Yuki and Tohru nodded as they walked out of the place and headed for the airport so they can be taken to somewhere to spend their honeymoon together.
