It's a boy, or is it a girl
It was getting darker outside and everyone's stomachs were growling. Tohru put
her book down and went into the kitchen.
"I'll make dinner now." Tohru told the Sohma's. Joy filled the room. The scents of raw
fish piled in the room. Tohru carried the food to the table and everyone sat down to enjoy
Tohru's cooking.
"You've outdone yourself again, Tohru." Shigure complemented, shoving food in
his mouth.
"Yes, this is delicious." Yuki added.
"Yeah," Kyo finally gave in. Fish was his favorite (he is a cat) and nothing
could've made him happier than Tohru smiling. All was good in Kyo's little world. He
was going to have a kid, he was excited. (I decided to add some drama to this fanfic, so
watch out, tears may pour)
The bowls were empty, unlike all the stomachs which were bloated, and Tohru
began the clean-up process. Kyo helped her clean the dishes.
"Thank you, Kyo, for helping with the dishes." Tohru said, putting the stack of
dishes in the cabinet.
"Don't mention it." Kyo walked off into his room. Tohru sat on her pink blankets
and started reading the pregnancy book from where she had left off.
Kyo walked in later that night. "Hey." he said, almost emotionless. Tohru put the
book down.
"Hi!" she seemed excited. Kyo sat down next to her.
"I have to know one thing." Kyo said with his head in his hands.
"W-what is it?" Tohru asked, a bit confused.
"Are you really happy, about me getting you pregnant? Or are you just saying that
so I don't feel bad?"
"K-Kyo?" Tohru asked softly.
"Well? 'Cause if you hate me, I understand. I just want to know." tears welled up
in Kyo's eyes.
"Kyo, I'm happy, I really am, and if I was anything but happy, I'd say so, because
we promised to tell each other how we feel." Tohru's eyes dripped a single tear.
"Tohru…" Kyo said, brushing his fingers through her brown hair. "Are you
scared?" he built up the courage to ask.
"About what?" she asked, not sure of what he meant.
"I mean, what if it's a cursed boy, every time you would hug him, he would
change into an animal. Are you scared that you wouldn't be able to hold your child?"
Tears were pouring out of Kyo's eyes, forming a puddle at his feet.
"No, because no matter what, it's still my child, and if I he changes, I won't care,
he's still the same, on the inside." tears came down Tohru's face, making dark circles on
her blanket. "Are you afraid, Kyo?"
"Yes, I'm afraid, that when you hug him, he'll change into an animal, and I don't
know, if I could bear to see your child as an animal. And then, when I hug him, he'll stay
human, it wouldn't be- it wouldn't be fair to you!" he shouted.
"Don't say that, I don't care what my baby looks like, as long as he's there." tears
came down faster than before. "I don't want you to be scared, don't be scared Kyo."
Tohru said sobbing. Kyo let his tears drip off his face, he stared into Tohru's eyes.
"I won't be scared, as long as you aren't." Kyo said. He stood up to walk out the
door, but Tohru grabbed his arm and pulled him down. "Huh?" Kyo sat down next to her
on the bed.
"Let's think of names, we'll start with girls, 'k?" Tohru said all happy again.
"Sachi, Sae, Sakura,"
"Tomo, Mai, Tetsumi-"
"I like that one: Tetsumi." Tohru said.
"Me too. Now boys?" Kyo asked Tohru, he was smiling, not grinning, smiling.
"Mhm."
"Hikuti, Jemoni…"
"Kyo." Tohru said.
"What?" Kyo asked.
"If it's a boy how about the name Kyo?" Kyo stared at her, not in a mean way, in a
happy way.
"Okay." he said. He started to get up again, but was once again stopped.
"Stay awhile, I'll go to sleep easier if someone's in here with me." Tohru said,
pulling him onto the bed. He sat down next to her. She wrapped her hand around his arm.
Kyo managed to lay down without waking Tohru. He checked to make sure she was
asleep, she was. He tried to stand up, but her hand was still holding him down. He laid
down again and ended up drifting off to sleep.
Shigure had to wake them up.
"Come on you two, get up! Kyo, stop cuddling up to her!" he pried the sleeping
Kyo off Tohru.
"Shigure, what day is it?" Kyo asked.
"Saturday." Shigure replied. Kyo stood up, then shook Tohru awake. Tohru
Yawned as she woke up.
"Hey, come on. We gotta go to Hatori's." Kyo said walking into the kitchen.
"Why do you have to go to Hatori's?" Shigure asked Tohru, who was standing up
and stretching.
"He's taking me to the hospital, to find out whether it's a boy or girl." Tohru told
him. He walked out of the room. Tohru got dressed, then picked up the phone and dialed
anumber. "Hello, Uo?"
"Hey, Tohru." Uo replied.
"Are you and Hana coming with us to the hospital, to find out if it's a boy or girl."
"Of course we are! We'll be head over there right now."
And they did, Uo knocked walked in the door, Hana followed her in.
"You goin' too?" Kyo asked the Yankee.
"You got a problem with it?" Uo threatened. Kyo shook his head. A horn from
Outside honked.
"That's Hatori!" Tohru said, opening the door to get in his car. When everyone
was in, Hatori drove off.
"This is a hospital?" Kyo asked when they arrived at the small hospital.
"Yes, it's small, but it has all we need." Hatori said. They walked in the hospital.
A woman saw them an signaled Tohru to a room. She laid down on a bed, then a nurse
walked in. The nurse put some sort of cream on Tohru's stomach, then move what looked
like an electronic stethoscope around her belly. A baby was shown on a television in front
of the bed. Everyone looked at the screen.
"A boy." the nurse broke silence. Tohru smiled.
"Alright, Tohru! A tough little boy!" Uo exclaimed.
"I hope he'll be strong." Hana said. Tohru thanked the nurse as they left the
hospital. Tohru glanced at Kyo as if saying "guess-what-the-name-is". Hatori dropped Uo
Hana off at their houses, then dropped Kyo and Tohru off at Shigure's house. He drove
off to his house.
"It's a boy!" Tohru shouted as they walked in the house. Shigure lit up with joy.
"Have you decided on a name?" Shigure asked, excited.
"Kyo." Kyo said happily.
"Congratulations, Tohru." Yuki said walking in. "So, how many more months?"
"Three or four. If it's cursed, three more months, if it's not cursed, four more
months. Remember that cursed children are born two months premature?" Tohru
Answered Yuki's question.
"Tohru, now that you know it's a boy, I need to tell you something." Shigure
said seriously.
"What is it?"
"I know Hana and Uo will want to hug baby Kyo. What if he's cursed, they can't
know our secret, so, they won't be able to hug them." this surprised Tohru. She hadn't
thought about this before. She walked into her room. Kyo followed her in.
"Kyo, I don't know what to do. If I tell Uo and Hana they can't hug Kyo, they'll
be devastated, but they can't know about the curse." Kyo looked at her, then wiped
the tears from her eyes.
"That's only if he's cursed. Maybe we can tell them not to hug him, 'cause he has
weak lungs and if you hug him, he won't be able to breathe." Tohru hesitated, but then
nodded. Kyo walked out of the room to tell Shigure the plan. Shigure agreed to their plan.
That's where I'm gonna leave ya, I'll be updating soon.
