Hi, all you beautiful people. Dragongirl4 here welcoming you to my first Fruits Basket fanfic. I hope you like it the first few chapters are a bit dark but the story will begin to liven up in the later chapters.
Info: This story takes place 21 years after the series ends. Akito died a few months before Kyo, Yuki, and Tohru graduated from high school. A year later a new head of the family was born, the same summer Yuki and Tohru married and Kyo disappeared. Now after 5 years of trying Yuki and Tohru are about to have their only child. There is one thing though with a new head of the family comes a new generation of zodiac members.
Disclaimer: I don't own fruits basket or any of the characters. I do own my original characters and would appreciate you asking before you using them.
Chapter 1: Snow Child
Thoru smiled weakly as she watched Hatori carry her and Yuki's first child to an examination table. After four years her and Yuki's dream of a family were finally coming true. Despite this a small shadow clung over her mind. Momiji words from many years ago kept repeating themselves over and over in her mind. "Zodiac members are always born 2 months premature. Do you know how scary that must be for a mother?" Tohru closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Yes, I do know." She whispered as she watched Hatori examine her child.
Yuki sat in the living room of the main house anxiously waiting for the news he'd been waiting for for the last 4 years. He was a father. He sighed irritably as he looked around the small living room, the rest of the family seemed as anxious as he was. The only ones oblivious to the current event were the three children. Shigure's 3 year old son Kasuki and Hatori's son 2 year old Yasuo where busy playing by rolling a ball between each other. While 1 year old Mika laid her head on her father's shoulder in slumber. Ayame himself seemed near sleep himself. The rest of the zodiacs seemed the same or were asleep.
Yuki growled irritably. He was close to barging into Hatori's office and demanding news. His thoughts of such ideas suddenly disappeared when he heard Hatori's office door open and close. Yuki was on his feet in and instant as the tall doctor approached him. The rest of the family had also noticed Hatori's appearance ad were eagerly awaiting the news as well.
Hatori gave Yuki one of his rare smiles as he clapped him on the shoulder. "Congratulations Yuki, you have a beautiful and healthy daughter." Yuki smiled like a mad man, as the rest of the family let out a wild "whoop" of happiness. Ayame smiled wildly as he pulled his brother into a crushing hug. "My little brother's all grown up! And now I have a beautiful niece to dress!" Ayame cried tears falling from his eyes. Yuki who was still to shocked too move merely stood there allowing his brother to crush him. "Ayame, perhaps Yuki would like to see his daughter before you crush him to death." Hatori stated noticing Yuki's face had gone blue. Ayame blinked looking down at Yuki's blue face. "Oops, Sorry little brother." Ayame apologized releasing his death grip on Yuki.
Yuki gasped filling his lungs with air. "Tori when do we get to see the baby and Tohru?" Momiji asked his large chocolate eyes dancing with excitement. Hatori sighed, as he looked at the 21 year old rabbit. "Once Yuki and Tohru have had a bit of privacy." Hatori stated looking at the rest of the family and getting several nods. "Awww, But I wanna...." Momiji whined his rabbit ears appearing. Shigure cut him off. "Momiji don't worry well all get to see them." Shigure stated smiling as Kazuki held onto his father's leg. "Ok," Momiji said pouting his rabbit ears drooping.
Hatori smirked as he turned to Yuki who was still rubbing his neck from Ayame's hug. "Remind me to hit him later." Yuki said jokingly glaring at his brother. "I'll make a note." Hatori stated sarcastically. "Yuki, come with me." Hatori said beginning to walk down the hall. He stopped when he felt a small pair of arms wrap around his legs. Looking down he smiled as a pair of large blue eyes looked up at him from under a mess of light brown hair. "Hey, little guy." Hatori said quietly kneeling down to his 2 year old's height. The little boy smiled as he wrapped his arms around Hatori's neck. "Alright, come on." Hatori said as he scooped Yasuo up and turned motioning for Yuki to follow.
Yuki gulped his anxiety had left and now what was left were raw nerves." I was the same way." Hatori said from up ahead. Yuki smiled he seemed to get a small sense of relief in knowing that Hatori had been the same way. Hatori stopped at his office door. "Go on in, I'll be back in a minute." Hatori said motioning with his eyes to Yasuo. Yuki nodded as Hatori began to walk back down the hall. Yuki watched the doctor's retreating form before turning to the closed door.
Yuki took a deep breath as he closed his eyes to resettle his nerves. He'd been waiting for 4 years for this moment and now that it was here he wished it were over. "So you're just going to stand there?" Hatori asked smirking as Yuki jumped at the sound of his voice. Hatori sighed as he opened the door gently pushing past Yuki and holding the door for him.
Yuki gulped as he entered the office. Tohru was lying in a small bed next to the window. He smiled as she looked up at him. "Hey," she said smiling tiredly as he walked over to her beside. "How are you feeling?" he asked as he gently kissed her forehead. "I'm alright, thank you." She said setting herself up right. Yuki smiled even after 20 hours of labor she still looked beautiful.
Tohru smiled as Hatori walked out of a small room on the other side of the room. A small pink bundle clutched in his arms. Yuki caught her gaze and smiled as well. As Hatori gently handed the small bundle to Tohru. Both Tohru and Yuki smiled as they looked at their daughter's face. Her large turquoise eyes looked up at her parents as Yuki gently placed his finger in her small hand. "She's beautiful, just like her mother." Yuki said quietly looking into Tohru's eyes. Tohru blushed at the compliment. "Well she has your hair." She said gently touching the few gray hairs on the baby's head. Yuki smiled as he kissed Tohru on the cheek. "She's perfect." He said quietly. "Yeah perfect." Tohru said a bit of doubt in her voice. Tohru smiled as she watched Yuki's smile as he looked at their daughter.
"Oh Yuki, look it's snowing." Tohru exclaimed looking out the window at the gently falling snowflakes. Yuki smiled. "A snow child." he said smiling at his daughter who blinked her large eyes at her father. "That's perfect, snow child." Tohru said holding her daughter close. "Yukiko," Yuki said smiling. "Our snow child." Tohru whispered looking up at Yuki and smiling.
Hatori cleared his throat making both Yuki and Tohru jump slightly. "Oh, Hatori! I'm sorry we forgot you were here." Tohru said apologetically to the doctor standing by the window." It's all right Tohru, I am sorry to have to tell you this when you both seem so happy. But I have no choice." Hatori said calmly closing his eyes. Tohru blinked hoping it wasn't what she knew in her heart it was. "I am sorry but your child has all the signs of a zodiac member." Tohru's heart fell at the news she'd already known. Yuki turned his head in both anger and grief. "What member is she?" Tohru asked trying to hold back her tears.
"The rat," Yuki stated quietly answering Tohru's question. "Yes Yuki, is correct it is the year of the rat." Hatori said quietly his heart going out to the couple. "There has to be a way to tell for sure." Yuki said his voice rising in anger and frustration. Tohru looked at her husband sadly before looking down at Yukiko's face. "There is one way. But it must be done soon, it only works soon after birth." Hatori explained walking over to Tohru's bed.
Both Yuki and Tohru watched nervously as Hatori gently applied pressure to a pressure point on Yukiko's collarbone. They both turned away as the normal "Boom!" was heard as a light blue puff of smoke came from within the blanket. Hatori sighed as he gently replaced the baby in Tohru's arms. Tohru took a deep breath as tears welled in her eyes. She gasped as she gently removed the blanket covering her daughter.
Yuki's eyes grew wide with both shock and disbelief at what he saw as Tohru removed the blanket. He quickly turned his head to the side not standing to look at what he had spawned. Without a word he turned around and left the room.
Tears fell from her eyes as Tohru watched Yuki's disgusted reaction. (Oh, Yuki.) she thought as she gently cradled the small gray and brown spotted kitten. Hatori watched Yuki leave, as Tohru began to cry. He sighed as words from the old zodiac legend filled his mind. "The cat deceived by the rat, will never be accepted into the zodiac, unless, it can defeat the rat and take it's place in the zodiac."
Yuki is seen sitting outside in the garden his head is down as snowflakes fall around him.
Well that's the first chappie. I hope you like it and leave lots of nice reviews. All flames will be used to make a camp fire next time I go camping. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them and I will answer them next chapter. Thanks.
