Chapter 3: A Red Rose

"We're here!" Yuki announced as they arrived at as restaurant called Maraschino.

"What is this place? I have never heard of it before." Tohru asked.

"It's a restaurant/dance place… you'll love it." Yuki promised.

Tohru let Yuki pull her inside. There had to be at least 70 people in the restaurant and about 20 people waiting just to get a table.

"Are you sure that we should go here? There is no way we'll get a table before 9 o'clock!"

"We have a reservation… don't worry about it Tohru."

"Hello! Do you have a reservation?" The hostess asked politely.

"Yes. Two for Sohma."

"Yes here you are. Follow me please." The hostess led the couple in the back of the restaurant to a table in a closed off room. Tohru read the sign on the door 'Private Parties Only.' Wow… Yuki really went all out for this date!

"Your waiter will be right with you. Enjoy!" With that, the hostess left the two alone and closed the door behind her. In the room there was just one table, which was set for two. In the center was a single burning candle and on Tohru's plate, was a single red rose.

"Yuki! This is so sweet! Are you sure that you can afford all of this… this seems awfully expensive!"

"Don't worry about it… just sit down and enjoy it, princess." for reference, see Fruits Basket, Hot springs episode #12 Tohru blushed and sat down. The rose on her plate looked as if it was freshly cut, straight from the garden.

When Tohru looked up from her flower she found Yuki staring at her, transfixed by her beauty.

"Tohru, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me."

"Yuki…"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

The waiter opened the door and walked in. "Good evening. Do you know what you would like to order?"

"Oh! I didn't even look at the menu yet." Tohru said.

"May I make a suggestion then?" the waiter asked Tohru.

"Yes of course."

"May I recommend the shrimp and pasta dish? It's very delicious."

"Yumm… that sounds wonderful! I'll have that please."

"Make that two." Yuki said. The waiter nodded and left with their orders.

"This is so kind of you Yuki."

"Only the best for you." An up beat trumpet song had been playing over the speakers. When it had ended a slow saxophone song melodically reached their ears.

"Tohru?"

"Yes?"

"Would you please dance with me?"

"Here?"

"Yes."

"Um…" Tohru started.

"Nobody can see us. We're all alone." Tohru looked across the table to see Yuki sitting there, waiting for an answer.

"I'd love to."

Yuki outstretched his hand over across the table to Tohru, who took it. They both got up and walked over to the center of their dining room.

They both stood there for a second, waiting for the other person to make the first move. Yuki ended up putting his hands around her slender waist first. Tohru then slipped her hands around his neck, and they began to sway back and forth, in rhythm with the music.

"I wish I could hold you." Yuki said with disappointment.

"It's okay… I know you can't."

"No it's not okay. I just want to be able to feel your embrace for more than just a second or two."

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? You have to reason to feel that way. You mean so much to me. Just knowing the fact that you are still willing to be in love with me, even though you know I can't hold you… that means the world to me."

The saxophone played a low note, which sent shivers down both of their spines. Tohru thought to herself: This was how we were standing just when he kissed me is that field. Yuki brought himself closer in to Tohru. They were so close to each other now, but not close enough for Yuki to transform.

Tohru looked up at her boyfriend. The little onigiri stared deep into Yuki's violet eyes. Yuki looked down at Tohru. He started to put his hands lower on Tohru's body. She didn't seem to mind much though, for he was her boyfriend, and she was in love.

The onigiri felt shivers go up and down her spine for the second time that night as Yuki lowered his hands. Yuki leaned in to give Tohru another kiss.

I love you so much Yuki… all I can ever think about is you. All of the memories that you and I share together… I would never want to loose them.

Tohru moved her hands from the back of Yuki's neck to his jawbone.

Tohru… I can't believe that I am finally with you. After all we have been through. I am madly in love with you.

Yuki deepened the kiss. They stayed like that until the saxophone music stopped coming from the speakers. Tohru pulled away first. There was something about him that made her want to kiss him again. For the first time since Yuki and Tohru started to go out, Tohru kissed Yuki.

At first Yuki was surprised that Tohru would kiss him back like that. He had always been the one to kiss her. In the end though, Yuki didn't mind at all. As long as they were together, everything was fine.

There was a knock on the door. "Your dinner is ready!" The waiter said and opened the door. Yuki and Tohru sat down and ate their meal.

After dinner Tohru looked at her plate. "Man I'm full! This was an amazing restaurant…"

"I'm glad you liked it." Yuki replied.

"I just hope this place wasn't too expensive."

"Don't worry about that. Besides, I have Shigure's credit card!" Yuki said. Tohru couldn't help but giggle.

"Are you ready to go?" Yuki asked.

"Sure." Tohru said disappointedly.

"What's wrong?"

"I just don't want this night to end."

"Who said it was over?" Yuki asked.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"You'll see. C'mon… let's get out of here." Tohru looked at Yuki questionably, but followed him out of the restaurant.

The warm air hit the two lovers as soon as they walked out of the restaurant.

"We have to hurry." Yuki said, looking the sky over.

"Why? What's the rush?" Tohru said also looking at the sky, trying to figure out what was so important. It was only 7:30 and there wasn't anything special going on, to Tohru's knowledge.

"You'll see… we just have to hurry up." Yuki took Tohru's hand and quickly walked with her down the sidewalk.

"You wanted to see me Akito?"

"Yes… why have you been avoiding me recently?" Akito asked.

"Sorry… things have been… let's just say… crazy around my house lately." Shigure stepped into Akito's room and stood in the center of the room. Akito was looking out the window, at nothing in particular.

"I find it offensive, that you haven't talked to me. What could possibly be more important?"

"Nothing… I swear!"

"Something is… you're hiding something." Akito said.

"No… I … I am not!" Shigure said defensively.

"I know when you're hiding something… who does it have to do with?"

"Nobody!"

"Is it Kyo?"

"No…"

"Is it Yuki?"

"I'm not going to say-"

"It's her. It has to do with Tohru!" Akito said standing up, finally looking up from whatever he was looking at outside.

"N-n-no! Leave Tohru out of this!" Shigure said.

"It does have to do with her!"

"No! Listen… nothing is wrong with Tohru… now if you have nothing more to say to me then I am leaving!" Shigure said as he stormed out of the room.

"Interesting… very interesting. I guess if I can't get straight answers from Shigure… then I'll just have to find this out for myself!" Akito smiled in spite of himself and walked out the door shortly after Shigure.

"Could you please tell me where we're going?"

"We're almost there…," Yuki said. Yuki was leading Tohru down the busy streets of the city. Tohru accidentally bumped into some girl, "I'm sorry!" Tohru received a dirty look from the girl but kept on running behind Yuki.

"Yuki… could we slow down a little? I just bumped into some girl…" Tohru said between breaths.

"We're here!" Yuki said stopping on front of two iron gates.

"Why are we at the park?"

"You'll see. We just have to hurry." Yuki added with a smile. Tohru nodded, fully trusting him. As soon as you walk into the park there is a huge hill where the kids like to play soccer. Yuki led Tohru over to in and sat down, "Sit down with me." Tohru did as she was told.

"Yuki it's amazing!" Tohru exclaimed as she looked into the distance. Just as she sat down the sun had begun to set.

"I thought you may like it."

"How did you-"

"I couldn't break a promise that I made to you could I?" Yuki asked.

"Yuki?"

"Yes?"

"Could you promise me one more thing?"

"Anything…"

"Even if for some reason my memories do get erased… promise me that you'll never let me go that easily? That you'll try your hardest to make me remember?"

"I promise." Yuki looked down at Tohru. She was already transfixed by the beauty of the sunset. The couple watched the sun set together in silence, just enjoying each other's company.

"You really promise?" Tohru asked.

Yuki put his hand under Tohru's chin and tilted her head up so that her eyes met his.

"I would never lie to you."

Tohru believed Yuki with every ounce of trust she had. Yuki leaned in to kiss Tohru. Every time Tohru was kissed, she felt as if nothing could ever possibly go wrong. Never before had anyone cared about this onigiri as much as Yuki Sohma did.

Yuki broke the kiss and brought himself out from behind Tohru. Taking her hands and intertwining their fingers, he moved so that they were facing each other.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Yuki leaned in to kiss Tohru again, and she kissed him back. The two kissed under the countless number of stars. There was a noise that came from the bushes, but neither of them took notice for they couldn't be distracted from their partner's passionate kiss.

Akito sat behind the bushes, watching Yuki kiss Tohru.

"So Shigure was hiding something from me. This has gone far enough! I knew I should've had Hatori erase her memories a long time ago! In a matter of days Tohru will no longer remember anything about the Sohma's! Especially Yuki!" Akito laughed to himself and crept away from the bushes leaving Tohru and Yuki enjoying each other's love.
