Fruits Basket OVA
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket.
Notes: This is a cute bonding fic about the relationship between Momiji and Hatori. It's kind of weird to think that a teenaged boy has legal custody over a child but this is Fruits Basket anything can happen except Shigure and Akito.
Chapter Fourteen: The dragon and his rabbit
Hatori looked out the window. It was a beautiful spring afternoon and Momiji was playing outside with Haru. He smiled a small rare smile as he watched them play. It had been a year now since he had taken Momiji in. The image of that day was stuck inside his head. He knew it had to be done, he knew that Momiji's mom was suffering greatly but as he saw Momiji playing outside that woman's behavior seemed inexcusable despite the curse. He could see her inside his head again. She had said: ''My only regret is letting that thing come out of my body.'' He of course went on with the procedure but his thoughts were otherwise. The memory erasing worked like a charm. After that he received a visit from Momiji's dad. ''Momiji can't stay with me. He has nowhere else to go. I know you're still a minor but you have to take Momiji in. Do you think you could do it?'' Hatori expected this. Momiji needed a home and if his own parents couldn't provide one then he would. ''Yes.'' He said as he looked at Momiji's dad. ''Hari?'' Said a voice.
Hatori snapped out of his flashbacking and looked at Momiji smiling at him. ''You okay Hari?'' Momiji asked. ''Yes I'm fine.'' He replied. He got up from his chair and sat on the ground so he could be at Momiji's height. ''Did you have fun with Haru?'' he asked. ''Yep.'' He said. ''Good.'' Hatori said. ''Hari I don't think you're as cold as snow even though everyone says so.'' Momiji said matter of factly. Hatori didn't expect it but he smiled at him. That night Hatori watched Momiji sleep. He looked peaceful as though he never had been cursed. Hatori hoped that this was the end of his suffering.
Notes: I know that chapter was very short but it was nice wasn't it?
