Fruits Basket Past: Chapter 12 Tearful Times
"Tohru?" Ritsu asked, walking up to a table that was occupied by Tohru, sitting all alone at a restaurant not too far from the house. There were tables both inside and out, Tohru wanted to eat outside, since it was so nice out. She wiped away the tears that had started to form in her eyes.
"Oh, Ritsu! What are you doing here?" She asked. Ritsu blinked, wondering the same thing about her.
"I was going to ask the same thing to you," Ritsu replied.
"Well, this is my first date with Yuki since he told me his feelings, but he hasn't shown up yet. We were supposed to meet at 3," she said, sadly. She was dressed in a tank top dress that went down to her knees. It was light pink and had a white short sleeved shirt attached to it.
"It's four now! Tohru, you should go home and yell at him," Rit suggested, getting angry at Yuki.
"I know... I just don't know what to say. What if he has good reasons?" She asked, sipping on some of her drink.
"What reasons would justify leaving you here all alone for an hour? He should apologize! I'll make him apologize right now!" Ritsu yelled, drawing attention to the two. Tohru smiled, which made people leave, and Ritsu calm down a little.
"It's okay, I'll go home now," she stated, getting up. She put some money on the table and walked with Ritsu back to the house. Shigure was surprised to see Ritsu, who almost never comes without asking first. Tohru was going to go up the stairs when she saw Yuki on the side of the hallway, looking really tired.
"Tohru! I'm so sorry, I completely forgot, please forgive me," Yuki stated, frantically. Tohru just glared at him, tears forming in her eyes again.
"You forgot?" She whispered. He nodded slowly, seeing the angry Ritsu. Then Tohru did something that was not expected. She went up to Yuki and slapped him. Yuki instantly put a hand to the red cheek and his eyes were wide, he almost started crying himself, not used to the angry Tohru. Tohru went up the stairs slowly, Yuki was still paralyzed. Even Ritsu and Shigure were surprised. Kyo came in a minute later and looked around.
"What's going on?" He asked. Kazuma came in behind him. Then he saw Yuki's red cheek. "Did you do something to Tohru?" He asked, going up to the still scared Yuki. Yuki just walked up the stairs, ignoring Kyo.
"What happened?" Kazuma asked.
"Tohru hit Yuki for not remembering their date. I would have too!" Ritsu explained. Kyo clenched a fist.
"Oh, I'll do more than hit him," he stated. Kazuma went up to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Let them work it out," he suggested.
When Yuki reached Tohru's room, he could hear her crying, and hesitated to knock. He finally was able to after a minute of breathing deeply. Tohru opened it slightly, tears still wet on her cheeks, she started to close the door when Yuki put his hand in between it, getting it caught. He cried out a bit but did not let it stop him.
"I'm sorry! Tohru, please please forgive me. You know me, I usually do not forget these things. I just... had a lot on my mind, that's all. I'm really sorry!" Yuki said, starting to sound like Ritsu. Tohru smiled slightly.
"It's okay. I forgive you, I'll just be mad for awhile, that's all. So if you could leave me alone for awhile..." she started, thinking about earlier, she stopped the sentence.
"I... I don't want to leave you ever! I love you, Tohru," Yuki said, a little more quietly. Tohru started crying again, but these were tears of relief.
Meanwhile, Kyo, Kazuma and Shigure were having a conversation in the living room. Ritsu was waiting for them outside. What is going to happen? That was all Ritsu could think about. He was so worried about everyone.
Lina: Mwuahaha! long chappie. Hope everyone liked it as much as I liked writing it! It was sort of depressing, not as sad as I thought it would be. This is an angsty fic, so I want to make it angsty. lol
Kyo: Bye bye!
Lina: Well, you will have to see what happens to Kyo in the next chapter. Which will be even sadder than this one! So get some kleenex ready! Hehe. okay, ja ne! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. I know I did! Bye!
