Fruits Basket Past: Part 8
"Shigure-san! Look what I brought home! I was able to get it because I had some extra money from work!" Tohru came in to the living room, saying this happily. The still slightly depressed Shigure looked up from reading the paper, glasses resting on his nose. Tohru was holding the cutest kitten one had ever seen. It was gray with little white paws, there was also a little white spot on the tip of its tail. Shigure smiled slightly, but then felt a shiver up his spine. He was a dog after all, although the kitten leaped from Tohru's hands and ran to his lap, making him drop the paper. He was surprised by this and hesitated to pet it. He stroked its back cautiously, it purred. His eyes widened. Tohru laughed a bit. Yuki entered the room, rubbing an eye.
"What's going on?" He asked. It was a Sunday, so they did not have school. He saw the tiny ball of fur resting on the lap of the uneasy Shigure. He turned up his nose. He could smell cat, but it seemed different from Kyo's scent, more friendly. The little kitten picked up its head and turned to Yuki.
"Goodmorning, Yuki! I bought a kitten, I hope that's alright with you," Tohru said, still with a smile on her face. Yuki could not help but smile when he saw her. The kitten jumped down from Shigure's lap and went over to him. He knelt down and held out his hand. A tiny tongue licked it. Tohru found this amusing. Shigure also smiled but still said nothing. Kyo came in and saw the kitten lapping away at Yuki's hand, Torhu laughing.
"What's going on here? Why is there another cat in the room?" Everyone thought they heard Shigure laugh a bit.
"I... I'm sorry, Kyo! I just couldn't resist when I saw her in the pet store! And maybe you two can become friends!" She said, excitedly. Kyo liked this idea and almost shoved Yuki aside to get close to the kitten. She hissed at him fiercely and jumped back on Shigure's lap. Kyo was almost hurt, he couldn't say anything.
"I guess she doesn't like you," Shigure said, smiling. Tohru smiled as well, her plan was working. She wanted to cheer him up somehow.
"Why the hell does she like that damn Yuki and Shigure, who is a dog, by the way, instead of me?" Kyo demanded. Yuki laughed at this.
"Are you turned on by her?" He asked, jokingly. Kyo glared at him, almost ready to punch him. Yuki stopped laughing.
"Oh, come on, Kyo. Maybe she'll warm up to you," Shigure stated. Tohru laughed.
"We should give her a name. I was... thinking Konako... if that's all right," Tohru suggested more seriously. Shigure clenched a fist, but then smiled.
"Sure. I'm sure she would have been honored," he said, getting up, almost forgetting that the poor kitten was on his lap, and walked to his room. (The kitten landed on her feet of course.) Tohru went over to her and picked her up and looked sadly towards where he went.
"It will be okay. Just give him time," Yuki said, smiling.
"It has already been two weeks, jeez..." Kyo muttered, trying to pet the Konako again. This time she scratched his hand. Yuki couldn't help but laugh again and Tohru quickly got Kyo a bandage. His pride was hurt more than his hand.
"Why? I am a cat after all... Konako should like me!" He retorted. Yuki laughed again as he pet the cute ball of fluff as she drank some milk he had set out for her.
Shigure did not come back from his room even for meals that day. Tohru was getting really worried and so was the kitten. She kept scratching at his door.
Lina: awww! Kitty! I want one so badly!
Yuki: Haha! She likes me more than Kyo!
Kyo: Shut up!
Lina: Now now. Well, hope u like! Wait and see what happens with Shigure next time!
