Ohayo all! Well that is if it's morning when you read this! Okay I don't own Fruits Basket just the plot is MINE! Yeah ignore me if I'm scaring you now! Currently shutting up so you can read!
"Akito?"
"Yes that's Akito! But don't just stare greet her!" exclaimed Shigure.
"Yeah… Ohayo Akito-san…" everyone muttered.
Akito looked a little hesitant.
"Akito-san. Thank you for coming!" Tohru smiled.
Akito looked shocked.
"Don't be shy now Akito! You have a girt for Sakura don't you? Why don't you give that to her?" suggested Shigure.
"Y- Yes," stuttered Akito fumbling with a gift.
"Thanks!" cried Tohru taking the gift happily and setting it on the table.
"Now Akito you came here for a reason didn't you?" reminded Shigure.
"Yes I did…." Mumbled Akito.
There was a pause. Akito took a deep breath.
"All this time I realize that what I have done was wrong. Maybe I realized this too late and maybe you all won't forgive me but I still want to apologize. Heart break and pain linger in my mind. But that is probably nothing compared to the pain I have caused you all, all these years," breathed Akito.
(This happens in the manga but I haven't read that much yet so this is my version of Akito's apology)
"I made you all miserable, not allowing any of you to love anyone. Honestly I was just afraid. I hated any of you falling in love because that meant you loved someone more then me. Kisa I'm sorry for bruising you, Hiro sorry for hurting Kisa, Hatori I'm sorry for hurting your eye, Rin I'm sorry for pushing you out of the window… Honda-san I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you and Yuki," Akito apologized.
"Akito-sama! You don't have to apologize!" cried Tohru.
"Thank you for forgiving me…. I don't think I deserve to be forgiven but thank you," muttered Akito tears glistening in her eyes.
Tohru half hugged Akito with Sakura in one arm she wrapped her other arm around Akito. Kisa got up and hugged Akito too with tears in her eyes.
"Of course we can forgive you!" cried Kagura joining the group hug.
The rest of the guys and Yume stood there awkwardly. The embrace soon broke. Tohru wiped the tears from her red eyes and smiled. The front door opened as Yuki stepped in.
"Tohru, what's wrong? Why were you crying? Akito? What did you do?" asked an angry Yuki who returned with the cake.
"Eh?" gasped Akito a little surprised.
Yuki dropped the cake and grabbed Akito by the collar.
"Are you ever satisfied? Can you just leave us alone already? Why bother coming here if you are just going to make everyone cry?" asked an irritated Yuki.
"Yuki! Stop! Akito-sama was apologizing!" cried Tohru.
"Huh?"
Yuki released his hold on Akito.
"Oh… I'm sorry," muttered Yuki.
"No, you especially should be angry at me. All those things I did to you… I would hate myself if I was you too. I tried to control your life, ruining everything, causing you so much pain… Tearing you away from the one you love. All these things I regret yet the only thing I can do is ask you for your forgiveness…" Akito sighed sadly.
"It's okay Akito… That was the past. You don't have to bring it up…" Yuki mumbled.
Akito had a small smile on her face.
"I told you there was nothing to be afraid of!" Shigure laughed.
"Ano… The cake's ruined…." Murmured Yume. (ano-um)
"I'm sorry… It's my fault… I'll go get another one…" Yuki told them turning around to leave.
"Yuki," called Tohru.
Yuki turned around.
"Arigato for worrying about me," Tohru thanked him.
"Always my hime," replied Yuki with a smile.
"Bye daddy!" giggled Sakura waving her small hand.
"Ja ne my little buhite bara," Yuki responded before he turned to leave.
(Mushy gushy stuff! Ain't Akito nice! Hehe… Ja ne –see you later))
In a matter of minutes Yuki was back with a new cake and the old one was cleaned up already.
"Cake time!" sang Momiji jumping up and down.
"Seriously act your age. And you're supposed to be in college? Will you ever grow up?" asked Hiro coldly.
"You should learn to cherish your childhood… There's nothing wrong with being a kid once in a while," Lei responded.
"Once in a while? He acts like a kid 24/7. It's really embarrassing," muttered Hiro.
"This isn't your party guys. So if you are gonna yell then at least wait until after we sing happy birthday," scolded Kagura.
"Yes, let's all gather by the table so we can sing to Sakura," Kisa told everyone.
They all quickly surrounded the table. Tohru sat at the head of the table with Sakura on her lap. Yuki walked towards them with the cake that had a single candle on it. It was a chocolate cake with Cherry blossoms drawn on with icing. In bright pink frosting was "Happy first Birthday Sakura Tsubasa"
"♫Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Sakura, Happy birthday to you ♪!"everyone sang.
Yuki set the cake in front of Sakura,
"Blow Sakura!" everyone encouraged showing her how to blow.
Sakura giggled mimicking everyone's blows slightly causing the candle to go out.
"Yay!" everyone cheered.
"Cake time!" cried Shigure.
Yuki smiled as he picked up the knife and cut out a small piece placing it on a plate setting it in front of Sakura. She squealed happily and stuck her hands into the cake squishing the cake between her fingers.
"Sakura!" exclaimed Tohru.
She smiled innocently and stuck her hands into her mouth licking off the cake. Everyone laughed. Sakura's face was covered in chocolate.
"You shouldn't be laughing you all are just going to encourage her to continue it!" scolded Yume trying to stop laughing.
"Well aren't you doing a good job!" teased Lei.
"Shut up," replied Yume.
"Why don't you both get over it and have some cake?" suggested Yuki as he finished cutting up the cake.
They all smiled taking a plate.
"Oh! This cake is really good!" Kagura complimented.
"Yes very good," agreed Haru.
"Let's get you cleaned up before your dress gets all dirty," Tohru told Sakura as she carried her to the bathroom.
By the time Tohru came back with a clean Sakura everyone had finished their cake and were cleaning up. Rin put the left over cake into the fridge, Kisa was wiping the table and everyone else was throwing away their empty plates.
"Present time!" sang Momiji.
"Why is it that you are more excited then the birthday girl?" Kyo asked Momiji.
"Why aren't you excited? It's a party!" exclaimed Momiji.
"Peesant!" laughed Sakura crawling over to the pile of brightly wrapped presents.
"Someone is a little happy to get to open her gifts!" announced Yume.
Sakura sat down on the ground deciding that the presents were too high up to reach. She turned around pointing at the stack of gifts.
"Douwn!" whined Sakura.
Yuki sat down by Sakura. He picked her up and put her on his lap.
"Wait! I want to get the camera!" Tohru decided as she ran upstairs.
"Me wanna peesant!" Sakura told Yuki tugging at his shirt.
"You have to wait for mommy to get the camera," replied Yuki with a little pat on her head.
"Okay! I'm back!" declared Tohru running back into the room.
"Which present do you want?" Kisa asked Sakura.
Sakura stuck out her finger pointing to a little pink box.
"This is from Hiro and me," Kisa told her handing her the pink box.
She played with the box rolling it and shaking it around.
"Open it," Tohru whispered helping her tear it.
Sakura laughed and took the paper off. She threw the lid up with another giggle.
"Don't play with the box. You want what's inside," laughed Kagura.
She stuck her chubby fingers into the box and pulled out a little tiger and sheep stuffed animals. Sakura hugged them both tightly smiling.
"Thank you Kisa and Hiro! She really likes it!" Tohru thanked them.
"What do you say Sakura?" asked Yuki.
"Tank coo!" exclaimed Sakura.
"You're welcome!" smiled Kisa.
"Ooh! Open mine next!" cried Momiji handing them a flat box.
Yuki helped her tear open the gift. Sakura pulled out the book.
"The Foolish Traveler! She'll love the story! I'll read it to her tonight!" Tohru smiled happily.
"Tank coo!" Sakura exclaimed knowing what to do this time.
"Now open your gift from your uncle next!" Ayame told her dragging out a fairly large box.
"Aya! We got that too! Don't steal all the credit!" complained Shigure.
"Yes well, this is from Tori-san, Gure-san and I," replied Ayame.
Sakura wobbled over to the box leaning against it.
"Open it; it's the best gift ever!" Shigure told her.
"You should assume things like that. You don't even know what everyone got. How would you take that comment back if someone got a better present then you?" Hiro asked Shigure.
"Just open it," muttered Hatori.
Sakura ripped the paper tossing it around the room.
"My buhite bara don't make a mess," mumbled Yuki as he picked up some of the wrapping paper shreds.
"This must have cost a fortune!" gasped Tohru.
"What an adorable dollhouse!" cried Yume.
"And it's an antique," added Ayame.
"Bebe!" giggled Sakura pulling out a doll. (trying to say baby)
"Wow that is really is a nice gift," complimented Uo.
"Yes," agreed Hana.
"Uo-chan! Hana-chan! You're here!" greeted Tohru.
"Yeah… Sorry that we're late," apologized Uo.
"That's okay! Let me get you some cake!" offered Tohru jumping up and running to the kitchen.
"What are you doing here Yankee?" asked Kyo.
"The party of course. What kind of idiot wouldn't know that?" teased Uo.
"Are you calling me an idiot!" yelled Kyo.
"So what if I am!" shouted Uo.
"My, my, such happy waves…" sighed Hana.
"Oh… Here's our gift for you Sakura," cooed Uo crouching beside Sakura and handing her a box.
Tohru helped Sakura open the present. Tohru helped Sakura take out a small play cooking set.
"Tank coo!" exclaimed Sakura.
"How polite. Just like your mother…" muttered Hana with a smile.
"Thank you Hanajima, Uotani," Yuki told them.
"Yeah… I was thinking of giving her my lead pipe but I just can't seem to find it… I think it might have broke the last time I used it.." sighed Uo.
"What kind of gift is a lead pipe for a baby!" screamed Kyo.
"Yeah! You got a better gift orangey!" snapped Uo.
"Open our gift Sakura!" sang Kagura handing her another gift.
Sakura pulled off the lid grinning as she pulled out a cat back pack.
"See my gift is better!" yelled Kyo.
"Is that really your gift? I don't think you spent any time on it," retorted Uo.
"It's hand made!" added Kagura.
"Thank you Kagura-chan!" Tohru smiled.
"Here open this next, it's from me, Rin, Kureno and Ritsu," muttered Haru as he shoved a box with holes on the sides towards them.
It shook and scratching sounds could be heard from the box.
"Haru…. Why is it moving?" asked Yuki.
"You'll see…" replied Haru.
"Be careful opening that Sakura," warned Yuki cautiously looking at the box.
Sakura pulled the ribbon off and playing with it.
"You know the ribbon isn't our gift," Kureno told her with a smile.
"Sakura take off the lid," Tohru murmured to her.
As soon as she took off the lid a small creature jumped onto her knocking her onto the floor licking her face.
"OH NO! THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! MY GIFT CAUSED HARM TO A SMALL CHILD! I SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BORN!" exclaimed Ritsu.
Sakura giggled.
"It's okay…. I think she is enjoying it!" replied Tohru.
"Awwwwww! What a cute little doggie!" cooed Kagura.
"What kind is it?" asked Uo.
"It's a Shi Tzu… we picked a small dog for her," replied Rin.
"Pupee!" cried Sakura.
"Haru why don't you hold it while we open the rest of the gifts?" suggested Yuki.
"I will after you name it," replied Haru.
"Sakura what do you want to call puppy?" Tohru asked the little girl.
"Pupee!" answered Sakura happily.
"Puppy it is," Haru told them as he grabbed the little brown and white dog.
"Here's our gift!" exclaimed Yume handing Sakura a several boxes.
She laughed as she ripped off the paper of the first box. Sakura roughly pulled out a play pink tea set.
"That's cute!"
"Here," Yume smiled pushing another box towards her.
Sakura opened the rest of Yume's gifts leaving them turned over and around the floor.
"That's a little table and chair set, and beside that is a doll so she can have a little tea party and the last one is just a really cute dress I had to buy," explained Yume.
"You really got carried away," teased Lei.
"I said that already," replied Yume with a smile.
"Thank you so much Yume-chan!" Tohru smiled.
"Tank coo!"
"I think this is the last gift besides ours," Yuki told Tohru as he gave the gift to Sakura.
"Who is it from?" Tohru asked Sakura who was playing with the box.
"Ekato!" replied Sakura.
"Awww! She knows your name…." Shigure mumbled to Akito.
Sakura tore the paper and Tohru pulled out a small Kimono.
"That's sooooo cute! Thank you Akito-sama!" cried Tohru.
"Tank coo!" exclaimed Sakura crawling over to Akito and giving her legs a little hug.
"Awwwwwwww!"
"And I don't get a hug?" asked Yume with a playful frown.
Sakura wobbled over and hugged Yume.
"Me too!" exclaimed Kagura.
Sakura giggled giving Kagura a hug.
"I want a hug too!" cried Kisa.
Sakura crawled over and gave Kisa a hug, then started to come back to Tohru.
"You forgot your auntie Rin," Tohru told the little girl pointing to Rin.
Sakura smiled and wobbled over to Rin and hugged her tightly playing with her long strands of hair.
"Now what about your dearest uncle?" asked Ayame holding out his arms with a wide smile.
Sakura stared at Ayame and ran over to Tohru crying, "Mommy!"
Everyone laughed slightly trying to muffle their giggles.
"Well if you don't want to give me a hug then I guess I'll take back the doll house," teased Ayame.
"No, iss mine!" refused Sakura.
"Yeah, that's a good girl. Don't let him force you to do anything," laughed Yuki.
"Awww! Don't be so mean to your dear brother!" cried Ayame.
"Well she doesn't like you very much," replied Yuki.
"I'm just sure she's afraid of guys!" reasoned Ayame.
"Come here and give your uncle Haru a hug," Haru encouraged Sakura.
She quickly crawled over and climbed onto Haru's lap.
"Moo!" she giggled as she held onto his shirt.
"So much for your 'she's afraid of guys' theory," muttered Yuki.
"Ready for our gift?" Tohru asked Sakura trying to change the topic.
"Yea!" replied Sakura getting up and crawling back to Tohru.
"Want me to get it?" Yuki asked Tohru.
Tohru nodded and Yuki got up leaving the room.
"What is it?" asked Shigure with sudden curiosity.
"A surprise!" answered Tohru with a smile.
Yuki came back into the room.
"Come on outside now… it's ready…" announced Yuki with a smirk.
Tohru grabbed Sakura's hand and led her outside. Everyone followed. Yuki opened the back door Sakura wobbled outside and the rest of them followed. They gasped at the lovely site. A large Sakura tree was in the middle of the yard and a small tree house sat on top.
"That is soooooo cute!" cried Yume.
"I agree but isn't she too young for a tree house?" asked Kagura.
"Yeah... but we figured me might as well get her this now since every year there's gonna be a more perfect gift. We'll be there to supervise her," replied Tohru.
"Twee howse!" sang Sakura.
"And you are named after this tree… You can go in anytime with us," Yuki told the little girl.
"And one more!" Tohru added.
"You wanna say it or do you want me?" asked Yuki.
"We'll both say it!" replied Tohru.
"Well… Sakura you're gonna get a new baby brother or sister!" exclaimed Tohru and Yuki.
"Oh my gosh!" cried the family excitedly yet shocked.
"Bay bee!" sang Sakura.
"Congratulations!" they all cried.
"Thank you,"
The rest of the party was filled with conversations and snacks. Ayame tried to get a hug from Sakura the whole day with no success.
"We'd better get going if we want to make the flight to our honeymoon," Lei announced.
"Oh… really… already?" replied Yume.
"Yeah… Kagura we gotta go too," added Kyo.
"Okay!" sang Kagura.
Kyo and Lei glanced at each other and nodded.
"What did you guys plan?" asked Kagura and Yume.
"You'll see…" they muttered.
"Well see you later Tohru-chan, Yun-chan! Bye everyone!" called Kagura.
"Yeah bye!" added Yume with a smile.
"Yeah… Bye…" the guys muttered.
Everyone said a goodbye and they left in a hurry.
Little did Kagura and Yume know but Kyo and Lei had brought them both to Hawaii. They were staying at the same hotel. The girls gasped at the beautiful scenery.
"It's gorgeous!" they breathed.
Kyo and Lei smiled, just the reaction they hoped for. They stayed at Hawaii for about a week hanging around the romantic beach and lovely restaurants.
A year later Chuurippu was born. A healthy baby girl with large brown eyes and soft silvery hair. Yuki and Tohru now had a happy family of four.
In a couple of years college was coming to an end. It was time for Yuki and Tohru to graduate. (Kyo, Uo, Hana and all are at a different college) Tohru sat in front of the mirror putting on make up when Sakura ran into the room. Sakura is three now and Chuurippu is one.
"Mommy! Are you ready!" cried Sakura jumping onto Tohru's lap.
"Almost… Are you daddy and Chuurippu ready?" Tohru asked putting on earrings.
"Yes! Daddy is holding Chuurippu! He get car ready!" replied Sakura.
"Okay… Why don't you get into the car and I'll be down shortly," suggested Tohru.
""Kay!" sang Sakura jumping off her lap and running out to the drive way.
Tohru smiled running her hands over her navy dress with the pink hem. She quickly put her hair up in a bun and added a clip of small white rose, a cheery blossom and a tulip that Yuki had given to her earlier. (Note: Chuurippu means tulip… so the clip is representing Sakura and Chuurippu) Her hand reached for her purse and she ran downstairs to the car. She climbed into the passenger seat and put on her seat belt.
"Ready?" Yuki asked as he started the engine.
"Yes!" replied Tohru, Chuurippu and Sakura.
Tohru glanced back at the girls and smiled.
They headed towards the college. The Sohmas, Uo and Hana were already there sitting in the audience except for Kagura and Kyo who were going to watch Sakura and Chuurippu with Yume and Lei.
"Be good girls for them okay?" Tohru told the girls.
"Okay…" replied Sakura taking Kagura's hand.
Kyo was holding his and Kagura's baby boy, Tenshuko. (meaning child of god…) He had bright orange hair and pale grey eyes. He was a couple of weeks older then Chuurippu.
Chuurippu was in Yume's arms and nodded. Tohru smiled and Yuki grabbed her hand.
Lei was holding their baby boy Youkou meaning sunshine. He had dark black hair and large brown eyes. Youkou was a week younger then Tenshuko and a week older then Chuurippu.
"We'd better get going," Yuki whispered to her.
She nodded.
"We'll see you after the ceremony," Tohru smiled at the girls.
"Wait here for us okay?" Yuki told them.
"Yeah where else would we wait?" muttered Kyo.
(Yuki and Kyo's relationship has gotten better)
Tohru sat in her row anxiously waiting to be called up. It was almost her turn. She spun to her left looking at Yuki. Her face lit up with a smile. Yuki grinned back reaching over and grasping her hand giving it a comforting squeeze..She bit her lip nervously as their row got called up. A tall man was calling names.
"Sohma, Tohru Honda," he called.
She took a deep breath and walked across the stage. Tohru shook his hand and took her diploma. As she looked into the crowd she saw the happy cheering faces of Yuki, Sakura, Chuurippu and the rest of the Sohmas along with Yume and Lei she realized that everything was going to be alright. Life was perfect. She had a perfect husband, wonderful children, and amazing friends. What else could she need? Her life was like a dream, the nightmare was over and now all that was left was bliss. The only thing to do now was enjoy it all.
"Mom, if you are watching me now, I want you to know that I'm so happy. Life couldn't get any better… I know you can't come back but please continue to watch over me and my family… I did it. I graduated…"
Yuki grinned. Life really was a miracle. He was married to the woman he loved, had two daughters. Could it get any better? Soon it was time for him to get on stage. He shook his hand and received his diploma. All was well now. No more troubles. There were still going to be problems but together they would get over them. All they needed was each other….
