Yo it's your favorite person! That's me right? JK! I don't own Fruits Basket! So don't accuse me of it! Here's a conversation between Yuki and me:
Yuki: Why do you work so hard to keep me and Tohru apart?
Me: Cuz I'm evil! Muahahahaha! Well don't complain cuz I have lots of mushy gushy scenes in it too! And lots more coming up!
Yuki: You are truly an idiot.
Me: What did you call me!
Yuki: An idiot.
Kills Yuki… (Somehow though it seems impossible)
Me: Oh No! I killed my main character! My love Yuki!
LOL I guess
Yuki: What do you mean LOL! You killed me!
Me: Yay! He's alive! No need to worry!
Continuing…
Tears filled Tohru's eyes. Her heart ached for Yuki.
"America is so big! What if he doesn't find me? He doesn't even know that I'm in America! I miss him so much! What if he doesn't miss me?" Tohru wondered as she sobbed muffling her crying with her pillow.
"How can you even think that? Tohru I can't bear to be apart from you… not even for a second. I want to be by your side forever… I love you, but you still need to spend time with the others you love. Hana and Uo love you and I understand that, they want to spend time with you almost as much as me… Have fun today but never doubt my love for you." Yuki's voice rang in her ears.
Yume opened the door. She gasped seeing Tohru crying. She quickly placed the tray on the table and rushed over to comfort Tohru.
"What's wrong?" Yume asked quietly stroking Tohru's back.
Tohru started to cry a little more loudly releasing her bottled up feelings. Yume embraced Tohru patiently waiting for her to relax. Her sobs slowly got softer as she started to fall asleep. Yume smiled laying Tohru down on the bed. She pulled the covers over her and shut the door on her way out.
"Poor Tohru! I can't believe that Charlie is allowing this! I have to go see him!" Yume thought angrily storming off to Charlie's room. She swung the door open stomping into his room. He looked up from his desk with a smirk on his face.
"Yes, Yume, what do you need?" Charlie asked politely.
Yume walked over to him and slapped him. The loud crack rang in the air. Charlie was surprised as he clutched his red cheek.
"What kind of person are you! How could you steal Tohru and Sakura away from Yuki? Did you know that she cried today!" shrieked Yume angrily.
"How dare you slap me? Who do you think you are!" Charlie yelled back as his face turned red.
"I know I'm a better person then you!" cried Yume.
"Do you want to be fired!" screamed Charlie.
"Oh no, that's not necessary! I quit!" screeched Yume.
She ran out of the room and straight into Tohru's room, slamming the door after she entered.
"Yume? What's going on?" asked Tohru tiredly rubbing her eyes.
"We're getting out of here!" declared Yume.
"What are you talking about?" Tohru asked sitting up on her bed.
"I've had enough. We are leaving this horrible place!" explained Yume.
"We're leaving?"
"Yes, so get ready! Pack all of your things!" Yume told her.
"I don't have much… Just Sakura… So I'm ready… though I may need a blanket for Sakura," replied Tohru.
"Well then we'll go to my room and get anything we need," responded Yume dragging Tohru with Sakura across the hall.
Yume rummaged through her things quickly throwing clothes into a suitcase. She opened her closet stuffed in some blankets. Tohru watched her still a little confused. Yume opened a draw and grabbed a handful of bills.
"Let's go," Yume told Tohru grabbing her purse and a lamp.
"What's that for?" Tohru asked staring at the lamp.
"For Charlie, if he tries to stop us," replied Yume grabbing Tohru's wrist and heading for the front door with the lamp behind her back.
"Where do you think you're going with Tohru and the baby?" asked Charlie leaning against the door.
"What happened to your face!" asked Tohru worriedly noticing his blue right cheek.
"Shut up!" yelled Charlie.
"You shut up! I'm leaving this place and don't you dare try to stop me!" warned Yume.
"What are you going to do to me?" Charlie asked in a mock fright.
"This!" shrieked Yume whacking Charlie's head with the lamp. His eyes widened. It was too late to move. The lamp cracked on Charlie's head breaking into several pieces. Charlie dropped to the ground unconscious.
"Let's go," instructed Yume stepping over Charlie with the suit case.
"What about him?" asked a concerned Tohru.
"Don't worry about him! It's his fault for kidnapping you!" cried Yume.
Tohru held Sakura tightly and stepped over Charlie's body. She followed Yume onto the side walk.
"Where are we going?" asked Tohru.
"To a bus. We need to get as far away as possible," replied Yume.
Tohru looked around at all the strange people. Their hair colors were as strange as the Sohmas'. People had all different skin colors. Tohru stared in amazement. After a few minutes of walking Yume stopped at a bench and took a seat.
"We're going to wait here for a bus," explained Yume.
"How strange…" mumbled Tohru taking a seat by Yume.
"Where are we going to stay?" Tohru asked.
"My old boyfriend owns a hotel in L.A. We'll be staying there. We're in a town not too far away from there," replied Yume.
"I couldn't waste all your money on me!" cried Tohru.
"It's alright! Lei, my old boyfriend won't charge and the bus doesn't cost too much. So don't worry about it!" responded Yume.
"It's still money…" replied Tohru uneasily.
"If it worries you that much your husband can pay me back later. I know he's from a rich family," answered Yume.
Tohru looked shocked and Yume laughed.
"It's not like I stalk him! He's a Sohma right?" asked Yume.
"Yes," replied Tohru.
"I passed their estate several times! It's huge! It's pretty obvious that the Sohma's are wealthy," explained Yume.
Tohru nodded as a large rectangular vehicle stopped in front of them.
"Is this a bus?" asked Tohru.
Yume laughed as she stood up.
"Yes this is a bus! Have you never seen one before?" asked Yume giggling.
"Not really… Besides the buses in Japan are different…" replied Tohru.
(I don't know if this is true! I'm just guessing!)
Yume nodded as she stepped onto the bus. She dropped some money into the box. Tohru followed her and they took a seat near the end. They sat patiently for twenty minutes until they arrived at L.A. The bus slowed to a stop. Yume stood up and went to the entrance. Few people remained on the bus. Tohru followed Yume out of the bus and onto the side walk. The bus drove away quickly.
"Where to now?" asked Tohru.
"The hotel is a couple blocks down that way," replied Yume pointing to her left.
Tohru nodded and repositioned Sakura into a more comfortable position.
"Are you ready to go?" asked Yume.
"Yes," replied Tohru.
Yume smiled and started down the road dragging the suit case behind her.
"Maybe I can call Yuki from the hotel…" thought Tohru as she followed Yume.
Yume pointed to a large hotel in the distance.
"That's where we will be staying," Yume told Tohru.
Tohru gasped.
"In such a grand hotel! I couldn't!" exclaimed Tohru.
"Tohru, this hotel belongs to my old boyfriend! Don't worry about the price!" replied Yume.
Tohru looked a little hesitant.
"Like I said before if it bothers you this much your husband can pay me back later."
Tohru nodded as she followed Yume into the hotel. Yume went up to the front desk.
(BOLD they are speaking English)
"May I speak to Mr. Lei?" Yume asked politely.
"He is busy at the moment, but how can I help you?" replied the manager.
"You can help me by getting Lei. I know he isn't busy so go get him," ordered Yume.
"Miss…" argued the manager.
"Go get him and tell him that it's Yume," commanded Yume.
The manager shook his head but picked up the phone.
Phone:
"Hello? Mr. Lei?" asked the manager.
"Yes, what do you want?"
"There is a Miss. Yume asking for you."
"Yume? I'll be right down. Go get them drinks!"
"Yes, sir,"
The manager hung up the phone and ordered a teenage boy to go the kitchen to go get drinks.
"See? What did I tell you?" teased Yume.
"I'm sorry ma'am!" apologized the manager.
Yume smirked happily.
"Yume? Is that you?" greeted Lei.
"Lei!" exclaimed Yume running over to embrace the tall dark haired man.
"Nice to see you too, Yume. What are you doing here?" asked Lei.
"I need a place to stay for me and my friend," answered Yume.
"Friend?"
"Oh, sorry. This is my friend Tohru Honda! Tohru, this is Lei," explained Yume.
"Hi, nice to meet you," greeted Lei holding out his hand to her.
Tohru repositioned Sakura in her arm and shook his hand.
"No, the pleasure is mine!" responded Tohru happily.
"Who's the little girl?" asked Lei noticing Sakura.
"Oh, this is my daughter, Sakura Tsubasa Sohma," explained Tohru.
"Sohma? I thought your last name was Honda…" responded Lei.
"That's my husband's last name. My maiden name is Honda," replied Tohru.
"You're married?" asked Lei.
Tohru nodded politely.
"Now that you are all close and stuff can you take us to our room? I need to shower," asked Yume impatiently.
"Oh, sorry. Matt! Go show these ladies to the deluxe room!" commanded Lei in a foreign language.
Tohru looked a little confused.
"Right away sir! Ladies come with me," instructed a skinny blonde boy.
Tohru and Yume followed the boy to the left hallway. He stopped by a white door and unlocked it.
"Let me know if you need anything," Matt told them as he handed Yume the keys.
"Thank you…" Yume mumbled in the same language.
They silently entered the room and Yume locked the door.
"What language were you speaking?" asked Tohru.
"Oh, that's English. I'm gonna go take a shower," replied Yume.
Tohru nodded and took a seat on one of the two beds. Yume left to the bathroom shutting the door behind her. Tohru stared at the room. There were two night stands, a white couch, a table and several wood chairs.
"I guess I'll try to call Yuki…"
Tohru picked up the phone and dialed Yuki's phone number.
(I know in real life you need long distance junk but let's just imagine!)
"Hello?" mumbled Yuki sleepily.
It was around five pm at America so it was seven am in Japan.
"Yuki!" cried Tohru.
"Tohru! What are you doing? It's only seven in the morning?" asked Yuki as he jumped out of bed.
"Seven?" asked Tohru.
"Tohru, are you alone?" asked Yuki ignoring her question.
"Yes… I'm at a hotel with my friend Yume… we escaped," explained Tohru.
"Good! Where are you? I'll come get you immediately!" cried Yuki excitedly.
"I'm in California, America… I think that's what they called it…" replied Tohru.
"California? Great! I will come and get you right away!" exclaimed Yuki.
Tohru started to cry.
"Tohru, what's wrong? Are you crying? Did he hurt you?" asked Yuki worriedly.
"No, I'm just happy to hear your voice…" Tohru replied in between sobs.
Yuki smiled.
Yume came out of the shower.
"Who are you talking to?" asked Yume.
"Yuki…" replied Tohru happily.
"Is he coming here? To get you I mean," asked Yume.
Tohru nodded.
"Does he need to know where we are? Let me speak to him," Yume told her holding out her hand.
Tohru gave her the phone.
"Hello. Is this Yuki? This is Yume," greeted Yume.
"Hello Yume-san," replied Yuki.
"I'm here to tell you where we are. Get a plane trip to L.A. California. Then ride a Taxi to the Sunshine Hotel. Got it?" instructed Yume.
"Yes…" replied Yuki.
"Call if you need help. 123-4567, well I let you get back to talking to Tohru,"
Yume handed the phone back to Tohru and went back to the bathroom to dry her hair.
"Yuki…"
"I missed hearing your voice so much," replied Yuki.
"I missed you too,"
"I'm going to get ready now. Sorry…" Yuki told her.
"No, don't be sorry… Get ready… Thank you for coming…"
"Tohru, there is no need to thank me, I would come if you like it or not," teased Yuki.
Tohru grinned for the first time in a while.
"I love you," Yuki whispered.
"I love you too…" replied Tohru.
"See you soon. Wait for me okay?"
"Of course…" replied Tohru.
Yuki hung up the phone. He quickly got dressed and smoothed his hair. He picked up his phone and dialed Haru's number.
"Hello…" mumbled Haru sleepily.
"Haru!" greeted Yuki.
"Yuki? Why are you calling so early?" groaned Haru.
"I found her," replied Yuki excitedly.
"Found her? You mean Tohru!" exclaimed Haru.
"Yes, she's in LA I'm going there now,"
"Do you want me to go with you?" asked Haru.
"No thanks…" replied Yuki before he hung up.
Yuki then dialed Christy's number.
"Hello, Chihiro residence, Christy speaking," greeted Christy.
"Christy, I found her. Charlie took her to LA," Yuki cried happily.
"Great! I'll come with you! Drop by my place and we can go together," replied Christy.
"That's not necessary," responded Yuki.
"Come on. You'll need my guidance. America is not like Japan at all," argued Christy.
"Fine… I'll be there in a few minutes,"
They hung up. Christy ran to the bathroom and quickly got ready. Yuki got into the car and drove over to Christy's. He stopped at her driveway and honked. She ran out of the door and jumped in shutting the door behind her. Yuki drove to the airport as fast as possible.
They bought their tickets and boarded the plane. It was a silent ride. After more then half a day they arrived in LA. Yuki exhaustedly stood up and ran off the plane. Christy followed as fast as she could. Yuki stared at the strange airport.
Christy laughed at his reaction, "I'll go call a cab! I wonder what you would have done if you were alone?"
After a few minutes the cab arrived and they got in and told the driver to go to the Sunshine hotel. Yuki sat impatiently. When the cab slowed to a stop Yuki quickly paid the driver and jumped out. Christy followed. They told the manager they were looking for a Tohru Honda. He pointed to the left. Yuki threw open the white door reveling a dark room. Yuki stared at the destroyed room and the body on the ground….
