Fruits Basket: No Love Lost

It was a rainy Autumn afternoon and Tohru Honda was in the Sohma main house giggling loudly and playing a board game with Momiji. He was a fun person, someone Tohru loved to be around being a happy and comedic person herself.

"Do you know much about your mother?" Momiji suddenly asked. The dice dropped with a clang onto the metal game board and sweet, kind Tohru gasped.

"Um… not really, but she told me one thing before she died," Tohru said to him. She didn't like to disappoint people. It was in her nature to be kind and loving to others.

Momiji's eyes shined. "What? What did she tell you?"

"That she wanted me to go to high school," Tohru said simply, looking at the lust in Momiji's eyes. Something was definitely wrong.

"I think you're very pretty," Momiji whispered to Tohru, who blushed as red as her school file. He passed the dice to Tohru and, as his fingers touched her palm, he smiled. "Your roll."

Tohru's eyes fluttered. "Is it? No, I'm sure it's yours." She was only doing this to stop Momiji giving unwanted attention to her. "Listen, it's my go but I don't want to play anymore."

Momiji made a face like he'd just had his heart broken. "But why Tohru-san? What is more important than our game?"

Tohru pulled at the hem of her skirt as she got up off the floor. She could not look at Momiji. He was the nicest Sohma she'd ever met, yet she couldn't bring herself to answer his question. It was only when she had walked out of the room when she popped her head round the door and said: "Everything."

She left. Momiji could hear her high heels tapping on the floor. He could hear someone crying, bitter stinging tears rolling down a lovely innocent face. And most of all, the thing that hurt him like nothing else had hurt him before, was the sound of his heart breaking in two.
