Fruits Basket OVA
Disclaimer: Don't own Fruits Basket
Notes: Thank you so much for the reviews! I never thought anyone would call my story brilliant! This chapter is really nothing new to Fruits basket fans but I just had to put it in. Oh and I think that I won't do any Kisa or Hiro chapters because there's no room. Happy reading!
Chapter Twenty: The arrivial of spring
Hatori Sohma sat in his office watching the snow fall. He was twenty four years old yet he didn't feel young. He had Shigure and Ayame as friends even though they often acted like fools and he had Momiji who slowly began to feel more and more like a son. But still, he never had a girlfriend despite Shigure's pathetic attempts to set him up. Not that he wanted one anyway. Falling in love was impossible and would only led to disaster. ''Hatori you're as cold as snow.'' Akito had said once. The words were more true than even he had realised.
''Excuse me.'' Said a high femenine voice. Hatori turned around. A young woman with short light brown hair who wore a blue dress with a white blouse underneath entered his office. ''I'm Kana Sohma. I'll be your new assistant as of today.'' She explained. Hatori had expected her to arrive but he couldn't help but feel that she wouldn't be like any of the other applicants. ''This will be your desk, and these are today's charts.'' He said pointing to a desk and trying to show her some charts. But she wasn't listening. Instead she was standing by the window looking at the snow. ''Say when the snow melts what does it become?'' She asked. ''The answer is water of course.'' Hatori replied. ''No, it becomes spring! I think spring is my favorite time of year.'' Said Kana. Hatori had never met anyone like her. She was full of life and light. He felt something for this girl. Something he had never felt before.
Later that day he and Shigure sat at a table and smoked together. ''So Hatori, How is that new assistant of yours?'' Shigure asked teasingly. ''She's doing well, thank you.'' Hatori replied. ''Hatori, I've known you for nearly our entire lives now. You were always the most serious, the most mature of us musketeers. But we know or Aya and I know that you're not exactly an island. You deserve happiness just as much as the other zodiac members. So, if you really like her then just go for it. Que sera sera!'' Shigure said. Hatori was silent for a few minutes. He knew that every word Shigure said was true. Maybe he did deserve some happiness after all. But would it last? ''Shigure, I think you're right.'' Admitted Hatori. ''Hari! You finally admitted that I speak like a true novelist!'' Shigure said happily. ''That's not what I meant.'' Hatori said. The next day he and Kana were alone one night. Hatori decided that now was the time. ''Kana, will you go out with me?'' Hatori asked shyly. ''Like on a date? I'd love to!'' She replied. Hatori smiled to himself. For the first time in his life he felt no worries about anything.
