Hi there, your friendly neighbor hood Dragongirl here. Just dropping in with another update. Sorry it's taken so long I only have a WebTV and the internet at my mom's schools been down, but it's back up so.
Thank you so much for all the nice reviews, I hope I can answer the questions that were asked to the best of my abilities without giving away too much.
The first 3 ch. Take place 5 years after Akito died thus making Momiji 22. The following chapters take place the full 21 years later.
No Kyo did not beat Yuki, and no he's not dead. I can't revel any thing else till later chapters.
And finally the curse is still active, again I really can't say much because it would give away too much, but Kyo and the others are still cursed.
And thank you again for all the nice reviews. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, I do own however Yukiko and Toshi and would appreciate you asking before you use them.
Chapter 2: The newest member
Momiji sighed bordly as he rested his head on his hand as he sat in the living room. It had been nearly twenty minutes since Yuki and Hatori had left. How much privacy did they need? He wanted to see Tohru and Yuki's baby. He smiled as he gently fingered the small neatly wrapped package beside him. He just knew that the baby would love his present a soft cuddly plush bunny.
5 more minutes past. That was it Momiji couldn't stand it any longer, he wanted to see the baby. Darn it! Standing he carefully looked around the room. Most of the others were asleep due to their late night 2-month early wake up call. Momiji smiled as he began to sneak towards Hatori's office.
"Tell me Momiji, just where are you sneaking off to?" Shigure asked looking up from where he'd apparently been asleep. "Um, to the bathroom?" Momiji squeaked a small sweet drop on the side of his head. Shigure smirked at the 22 year old rabbit, not believing him for a second. He knew that Momiji loved Tohru to death and he'd been so excited at the thought of her and Yuki having children. And he'd do any thing to see them. The waiting must've got to him. Shigure smiled he liked making him sweet. "All right, you know the way." Shigure said practically blowing his cover when Momiji half anime fainted at his approval. "Alright be back in a minute." Momiji called practically bolting down the hall. Shigure simply rolled his eyes.
Momiji sighed as he stood outside Hatori's office one hand on is chest the other supporting his weight against the wall, as he took several deep breaths. (Darn you 'Gure.) Momiji thought regaining his composure. Being as quiet as he could he slowly opened the door to Hatori's office.
Momiji blinked surprised at what he saw, as he poked his head around the door. Tohru was sitting up in bed her hands covering her face as her body was wracked with sobs. A small pink blanket was spread on her lap a small gray lump was laying in the middle. Momiji also noted that Yuki was nowhere to be seen. Confused he leaned on the door to get a better look. Unfortunately he leaned a little to hard and the door flew open causing him to fall in a heap on the thresh hold of the office.
Tohru jumped surprised by both the sudden movement from the other side other room, and the loud thump as someone crashed to the floor. Her sudden movement caused Yukiko to cry/mewl. She gently began to rock the kitten in her palms, until she quieted down. Sniffling Tohru looked t where the source of the disturbance had come from. She blinked at seeing the blonde haired rabbit lying in a heap on the floor. "Momiji?" she asked quietly. Hatotri glared at him." What did Shigure and I tell you?" he asked sternly.
Momiji at hearing Hatori's voice instantly clamored to his feet. "This defiantly isn't the bathroom." He said pretending to look lost. Tohru blinked a small smile forming despite her mood. She began to laugh. Both Hatori and Momiji sweet dropped. "I'm...Sorry..." she gasped.
Quickly regaining her composure. She smiled sadly at her daughter. "Tohru?" Momiji asked quietly "You aren't mad are you?" He asked looking down as Hatori looked at him disapprovingly. "Of course not, in fact why don't you come say hi to Yukiko?" she asked smiling gently. Momiji smiled as he bounded to her bedside. His eyes grew wide when he saw the gray and brown kitten. "Bom!" was heard as Yukiko transformed back. Tohru quickly recovered her daughter. Momiji smiled at the now baby girl. Her large eyes roaming over the face of the newcomer. "Hello," he said waving at the baby. Tohru smiled warmly. "Do you want to hold her?" she asked looking up at Momiji's childlike face. "Can I?" he asked holding out his arms. She nodded as she positioned his arms.
"Tohru is it alright if I take her out to the living room? Everyone's waiting to see her. Pleeeeeaaaaaaassseeeeee?" Momiji begged his rabbit ears popping up. Tohru laughed. "Alright, but be careful. In fact Hatori would you please go with him?" Tohru asked looking at the tall doctor who nodded. "Yay!" Momiji cried as he gently carried Yukiko out of the room, followed closely by Hatori. Tohru sighed as she laid her head back; her heart still ached at Yuki's reaction.
The rest of the family where surprised when Momiji and Hatori appeared. A pink bundle in Momiji's arms. "Hey everyone, come say hello to Yukiko!" Momiji said excitedly smiling at the baby as the rest of the family gathered around him and gazed at the tiny baby. "Oh she's so beautiful! Just like her brother and father." Ayame gushed striking a pose. The rest of the family sweet dropped. "Ah Aya, yes it would seem that we do have a lovely new addition to our garden." Shigure said as he gently rubbed Yukiko's cheek. "Coming from you, that sound illegal." Hatori said rolling his eyes when Shigure smiled goofily. "Oh, Hatori." Shigure said giving a little wave.
The rest of the family where to busy gushing over the baby to notice Shigure's stupidity. "Sissy's baby looks so pretty." Kisa said as she smiled at Hiro. "What ever." Hiro said grunting as he received Kisa's elbow to hi ribs. Kagura smiled at the baby "Hi, Dare," she said in baby talk as she waved at Yukiko. "Hey?" she asked looking around. "Where's Yuki? Shouldn't he be the one out here showing her off?" Kagura asked looking at Momiji.
Momiji's dark. Brown eyes filled with sadness as he looked to Hatori.
Who closed his eyes and sighed. "Yuki took her form a bit hard." Hatori explained looking at the baby sympathetically. Momiji nodded sadly. "She's cursed isn't she? Tori?" Ayame asked quietly looking at his daughter in Mine's arms. "Yes," Hatori answered.
The sound of footsteps made the family look up, they blinked when they saw a young servant carrying a girl around 4 come into the room. The girl looked around the faces of the zodiac members. Her dark gray eyes falling on the bundle in Momiji's arms. "Forgive me master Hatori, but mistress Toshi kept insisting on seeing the baby." The servant explained as she held the girl to where she could see the baby's face. Toshi smiled pointing at the baby. "Kitty-Cat. Meow!" she stated enthusiastically. The servant chuckled. "That's not a kitty Toshi that's a baby, silly." She said smiling at the girl. The rest of the family looked on shocked at the news.
