I forgot this last chapter but, I don't own Fruits Basket, or its characters, anyway…
Well, here it is! The new chapter of my story. I know I've been staling but as some of you reviewers said, and must be thinking, I did kind of made a big change with the story so now I'm trying to set it right. I just don't know how.
I wrote myself into a corner and it gave me writers block, but now I'm all better and I'm sorry if this chapter is shorter but I'm still having some trouble.
Writing this actually made me wonder, how many of you read this? How many just skip it and don't care? Does anyone listen to my rants? Should I just--- What did you say? I'm supposed to be writing the story? Oh yah. Oops.
Chapter three: Losing grip
"Where are you? Where have you gone?" Yuki said to the shadow of his dreams, the one with the face of Tohru.
"Don't you love me? You said you loved me more than anything, that this was a good thing. But good things don't hurt this much. Where are you now? Tohru!" Yuki cried out to the ghost of his wife, reaching out to her, but she just moved farther and farther away.
He woke with a start, his hand still outstretched, reaching for her. Tohru had been gone for over a year, and as each month past Yuki became farther and farther away from everything around him.
He knew that if he didn't see her soon her would go mad with grief. When she had first said that she was leaving he thought he could handle it, but he couldn't.
Without Tohru he was going crazy. And all he had of her was the note she had left for him, and all it said was this:
Yuki-kun,
I love you more than anything, and I love Shinju too. You both mean everything to me. Understand this Yuki, no matter what happens to me in the next three years, I will always love you, and I will never forget you. Ill come visit in a year, when I have a stable house and job. I wanted to wait until you woke up, but then I'd never be able to leave you.
- Tohru
"Why did you leave at all?!" Yuki yelled out into the night, after reading the note for the millionth time, "You said you'd come back in a year! Its been a year! Where are you?"
Tears began to run down his face, "I know I can't hold you normally, I know I'm anything but normal, but I adore you, I worship you, your everything to me."
It took him over an hour for him to fall back asleep this time, each time it seemed to take longer, and it worried him. What if he just stopped sleeping? What would happen to him then? Would he die?
Far Away
Crying woke Tohru from her light sleep. She rolled over and shook sleep from her like dogs shake off water. She went strait to Shinju's cradle, a picked her up, thinking not of Shinju but of Yuki, as always.
"He must hate me." She said to Shinju, "I just left like that! And I haven't visited in sooo long! I'm a horrible wife!" And Tohru started to cry too, making Shinju stop and stare at her mom in baby disbelief.
After five minutes Tohru stopped crying enough to go lie down in her big empty bed with Shinju next to her, and she cried herself to sleep.
In the morning Tohru woke up determined to visit Yuki and the Sohma's. So before she went to work she looked up plane tickets from San Francisco to Japan, from Tohru to Yuki.
(AN: I couldn't think of a place for Tohru to live so it just ended up being San Fran, so sue me!)
At Arisa and Kyo's house
"Hey! Tohru! Its good to hear your voice again! Everyone's missed you so much!" Arisa said into the receiver, "Your going to visit? Awesome! Don't worry, I'll tell Hana and no one else."
Arisa smiled as Tohru told her about how well she had been doing in America. Then said goodbye and hung up the phone, and her smile faded. Yuki needs Tohru so much! She thought, but does Tohru need him? I know they love each other more than anything, but he can't live without her and she…
Arisa frowned as she walked into the kitchen. She only noticed that Kyo was in the room when he said hello to her. She spun around and thought wildly, 'What if he heard me talking to Tohru?!' then managed to smile and tried to look normal.
"Hey honey." She said, walking over to him and kissing him on the lips, being careful not to hug him. Kyo just stared at her, "What's up with you Arisa? You look surprised. This is still my house too right?" he said this in a joking way but Arisa could hear the worry in his voice.
"It's okay Kyo, well it's not okay, but I cant say why." Arisa said lamely.
Kyo looked at her strange then said, "This is about that phone call isn't it? You know I heard everything you said and I think it's good, that damn rat needs Tohru to come back."
"I know he does Kyo, I know, but I'm still worried, I don't want my little baby Tohru (AN: well they do treat her like a baby! NO, ARISA IS NOT GOING SOFT! I'll just have to have her beat up someone later!) to hurt him, or Yuki to hurt her, but that's all they've been doing lately."
Kyo came over and kissed her cheek, "They'll be fine." Was all he said as both of them stood there, hoping for the best.
END OF CHAPTER
So, Kyo and Arisa are married and I dunno what happened to Kagura okay? She's just not part of this.
