Fruits Basket Past: Part 2
Shigure sat at his desk, thinking of what to write next. He had his glasses propped on his nose. He looked at a faded picture that was framed in the middle of the desk. He smiled. Tohru knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Shigure said, in his usual singing voice. Tohru opened the door and smiled slightly. "How's Yuki?" Shigure asked.
"He's sleeping now, his fever has gone down though," Tohru replied.
"That's good," Shigure said. He took the picture in his hand. Tohru leaned over to take a look. It was of a beautiful woman, with long purple hair that was tied in a braid. She had a long red dress on that crossed in the back. She was smiling.
"Who is this?" Tohru asked. Shigure smiled sadly.
"This used to be my fiance," Shigure said. Tohru gasped.
"I didn't know you were engaged," she said. Shigure's eyes were covered by shadow. He clenched a fist.
"She... died," he stated. Tohru put a hand over her mouth. "It's all right, it was six years ago. But Akito was the one who killed her," Shigure explained. Tears formed in his eyes and Tohru's. "I still have to obey him, even after what he did."
"I love Konako, we're getting married," younger Shigure said to Akito, who was staring out the window of the Sohma house. Shigure was kneeling and bent over, in a suit. Akito turned to Shigure, there was a vase holding a flower on the window sill. He knocked it over, angrily.
"No! You musn't, you're mine!" Akito cried. Shigure winced. Konako was also kneeling behind him. Akito took a piece of the vase and threw it hard towars Konako. Shigure could not react quick enough to jump in front. The shard pierced her heart, causing blood to stain her white dress. Shigure rushed to her, catching her as she fell. Blood stained his suit as well. Tears formed in Konako's eyes.
"Shigure, do not hate him. I don't blame him for hating me," she whispered.
"Don't talk! We'll get you to a hospital!" He cried, tears also forming in his eyes. Konako smiled and put a hand on his face. It was already cold. Shigure took it.
"It's okay... I love you," she said, smiling. Her hand fell and her head tilted slightly. Shigure hugged her. (She was a member of the zodiac, a dog, so she did not turn into an animal.) Tears fell down his face. Akito laughed.
"Serves her right," he said. Shigure turned to him angrily. "What are you going to do?" Akito asked, evilly. Shigure remembered what Konako had said and stood up and slowly walked out.
Tohru fell on her knees, Shigure had explained everything to her. Tears fell down her face. Shigure also realized that he was crying. Tohru took his hand, his eyes widened.
"If there's anything that I can do... please tell me. Although I won't be much help," she stated. Shigure shook his head.
"Just being here helps," he replied, smiling. He leaned over so that his forehead rested on her shoulder. "Today was the day that she died, 6 years ago," Shigure mumbled. Tohru gasped. She put a hand on his back and rubbed gently. Shigure sat up and wiped away the tears and smiled.
"Are you going to be okay?" Tohru asked, worried. He laughed.
"Of course! I have to be cheerful, otherwise everyone else will start being depressed!" He said, laughing. Tohru could still see that he was hurting, but smiled.
"Glad to hear that," she stated and stood up. "I'm going to go check on Yuki," she said and left. Shigure looked at Konako one more time before getting back to typing.
Yuki was awake when Tohru came in and Kisa was sitting next to him. Tohru smiled and went up to them. Kisa saw that Tohru had been crying and hugged her.
"What's wrong?" Kisa asked. Tohru's eyes widened.
"I... I just have a stomach ache that's all. Nothing to be worried about!" Tohru replied, laughing. Kisa smiled and left. Tohru sat on the chair that Kisa had been using before.
"I talked to Shigure... I heard about his fiance," Tohru said, sadly. Yuki also looked sadly at her. She clutched her hand in a fist. "I wish I could do something for him."
"You are, just by being happy and yourself," Yuki replied, smiling. Tohru also smiled back.
