Disclaimer. I don'e own fruits basket. Saddly but surely. I swear I will one day. Yeah, when all of hell freezes over. hehe. Well Enjoy.
"So Miss Hanajima." Yuki said. "would you like me to escort you to your room to get your jacket?"
"Yes, I would like that Yuki." She replied.
They arrived at her room and she went in after she used her keycard to get in and get her jacket.
Yuki had always thought that Hana was beautiful. Especially that night on New Years when he, Kyo, and Shigure had run into her.
Hana came out of the room with her jacket on and ready to go.
"Shall we go get your jacket now Yuki?"
Yuki was slightly startled. While he was thinking, he hadn't heard her come out."Oh! yes."
They arrived at his door and he walked in to get his jacket. It didn't take him long. Soon they were up at the ski lift, getting ready to go.
"So miss Hanajima, we don't know much about each other, would you like to take this opportunity to get to know one another?" He asked her while they were just then sitting down on the ski lift.
"yes, I would like that. We really don't know too much about one another so why not?" she answered him.
"Alright, we'll ask each other questions. Do you have any siblings?" He asked in his soft quiet voice.
"Yes, a younger brother." she replied. "many say he looks just like me. What about you? Any siblings?" She asked.
"Yes, an older brother. He is a bit of a pain. Some say we look alike as well, though I highly disagree with them."
"Well, I'm glad that he is older than you." Hana said sounding relieved.
"-huh? why is that?" Yuki asked. That was kind of random on her part.
"Becausem then there would be two Yuki's running around and Kami knows what would happen if there were two prince's around." She said jokingly. "And that would make my jobeven worse than it already is. Having to fend off the fangirls all the time."
Yuki started to laugh. He could only imagine what they would think if they knew that he and everyone were staying there for a week together. "Why do you have to fend them off? I have never understood what gets them so jelous." He said not expecting her answer.
"Maybe its the fact that you, the Prince, hangs out with me, Uo, and most of all Tohru. Tohru is what really gets them upset."
"I never thought that being around my friends would upset them so much."
"You have no idea." Was her reply.
"I have one question though. Why is it that YOU fend them off?" He asked her. "Anyone else could, why do you do it?"
"To protect you and everyone else, especially Tohru. I'm not neccisarilly worried about Uo and Kyo. I know for a fact that they can protect themselves. But if something came up, I would be there in a hearbeat. Tohru I protect because she it too nice. And knowing them, they would use that to their advantage. And you, I kind of worry about because, well, I don't know. Your not exactly like Kyo and show that you are capable of fighting, but your not like Tohru either. I guess I just stick out for you because you are one of my good friends and I do that to all of my good friends." She finished.
"You consider me one of your good friends?" yuki asked slightly shocked. He had thought the only person outside the Sohma family who accepted him as a friend was Tohru. And on top of that, she had come to live with him,Shigure, and Kyo who joined them shortly after Tohru had come to live with him. It was by chance that she found out about the family secret. And a miricle in itself that she had accepted him and the entire Sohma family when she found out about the curse. He was shocked when she had accepted them. She was one in a million who would've accepted them and thought of them as normal people.
"Of coarse I do Yuki. If I didn't think of you as a truely good friend, I wouldn't be caught dead hanging around you." She answered in a mock tone.
"Sorry, I just didn't think that I had anyone else to call my friends, other than Miss Honda." Was his solemn answer.
"You didn't know that we considered you as a friend?" She asked with real concern in her voice for once.
"We?" He asked. "Who else is there?"
"Me, Uo, Momiji, Hatsuharu, and you may not think so, but Kyo as well. He would never be around you if he didn't consider you as a friend. You have more friends than you think Yuki." She said as the ski-lift came to a hault and she got off without another word.
Tohru knocked on the door of Kyo, Momiji, and Haru's hotel room which was opened by Momiji. He was slightly caught off guard since he thought she and Kyo would be up at the slopes by then.
"Hello Momiji, may I come in? It is really important." She asked, looking around every corner in the hall like Hell was about to come around the corner. And at that point, it could've. ( Get it? Akito is like hell?lol.)
"Of corse Tohru! Come on in!" Was his cheerful reply. (Like you couldn't see that one coming. I mean its Momiji, whats he gonna say?'No Tohru, you can't. Now go away dammit!' I mean really people! Anyway, back to the story.)
"Who is it Momiji?" Asked Haru who stepped out of the bathroom, stopping the process of putting on a t-shirt momentarily when he saw Tohru walking in the room.
"Oh, Tohru, shouldn't you be skiing by now?" He asked her as he finished dressing himself.
"Yeah, that's what I was wondering." Added Momiji.
"Well, Akito, he's here. I kind of ran into him in the hall about 5 minutes ago." She said slightly shaking.
"So he's here huh?" Haru asked.
"Well that sucks. Now we won't be able to have any fun!" Momiji whined. "But why did you come here. You would've been safer in your room. I mean, Akito might come here looking for-" He was cut off when there was a knock at the door.
If Tohru wasn't scared before, she sure as hell was now.
"Get in." Haru said opening up a closet door not once taking his eyes off of the front door.
"Hatsuharu, what if you get caught trying to-?" There was another knock on the door. This time louder and stronger. Shaking the door in the process.
"Get in and neither of us will have to worry about that." He said firmly but quietly.
"Alright, but please be careful." She said before he closed the door, blocking her from view.
Once Haru was done with Tohru, he went to the door and answered it to reveal...
