Sorry for taking so horridly long to update this. Very LONG story. Me got kicked out of my house... And now have no net. (Not so long!) Okay guys please PLEASE bear with me! Kay?
When waking up the next morning, Tohru found that Yuki hadn't fallen asleep next to her in bed. He was instead sleeping in a chair beside her, his head on the bed, as he held her hand. When she sat up slowly, she felt the damp cloth slide from her forehead, down her face and into her lap. She looked down and stared at the cloth as if it had come out from thin air. "Huh?" she said.
"I see you're awake." a husky voice said from beside her. Looking over to her side she saw Yuki sitting up, with part of his face flushed with some indentations from sleeping so long on the wrinkled sheets.
"Yeah, but why aren't you in bed?" she asked.
"You passed out in my arms last night and I found that you had a fever. I wanted to keep an eye on you until your fever went down. I guess I fell asleep while nursing you back to health." He said with a sheepish look on his face that made Tohru grin.
"I feel much better!" she said with a grand smile on her face. "Thanks for always being there for me Yuki!"
Blushing slightly, Yuki cleared his throught and looked back up at his love. "No problem." he said as he kissed the back of her hand. "I will be here for you always and forever."
Kyo and Arisa
"Damn does my head hurt." Kyo said as he gentally massaged his temples.
"Shut up you stupid cat." Arisa said as she slowly sat up with a few grunts. "You weren't almost killed by a jealous stalker like cousin in-law!" she grated out between a clenched jaw as she tried standing.
"My body aches in places that I never knew had nerves." she said as she slowly reclined against her pillows.
"I know what you mean." he said as he sighed out his frustrations.
"I wonder how Tohru is." Arisa said.
"Yeah."
Haru and Kisa
"You think I should make breakfast this morning?" Kisa asked as she pulled her amber colored hair into a pony tail.
"Why?" Haru asked.
With a roll of her eyes, Kisa turned to face Haru, her hands on her hips with an expression that said 'Moron'. "Because of all the chaos from yesterday. I think we were the two most unscathed. Plus I saw Yuki carrying some cloth and a bowl of ice water to his room. I think Tohru over worked herself again."
Sighing out knowing that there was no way to make her change her mind. "Fine, just be careful." he said before plopping back under the covers.
Kisa rolled her eyes once more and left Haru to be himself. She quietly went downstairs and was shocked to find Tohru already making Breakfast.
"Tohru shouldn't you be resting?" Kisa asked as she rushed up to her, examining her face and finding nothing off the mark.
"I feel fine, but do you want to help with all this?" she asked, seeing that Kisa was dressed to cook.
Kisa nodded and walked over to where the food was layed out to be washed and peeled.
Later that afternoon, when everyone was relaxing on the porch, sipping oolong tea, they saw Hatori, Shigure and Ayame walking quite slowly. When they came closer everyone noticed that they had bloodshot eyes, and that it looked as if they were crying.
Tohru sprung up and ran over to them, frantic with concearn. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Hatori cleared his throat and looked at everyone. "I have some bad news." everyone immidately sat up with eyes and ears wide open.
"Is it Momiji?" Yuki asked, as he slowly brought Tohru over to his side.
"No he's fine, but it's about Kagura." Shigure said before his eyes filled up once again with tears.
"We got a call from the police and heard that she had been hit by a car. She left this morning, saying that she needed some time alone. Aparently she wasn't thinking clearly and not paying much attention to her surroundings, and crossed the street without looking both ways." Hatori held his hand up, signalling that he couldn't say anymore, his face tense with the effort of holding back his tears.
"But why?" Tohru asked as tears flowed down her face. She turned to Yuki and broke down even more. "It can't be true!" she said as she stood up her legs gave way and she began to fall, but thankfully to Yuki she was saved from any slight injury that could've occurred.
Yuki cradled Tohru in his arms, as her tears were soaked into his shirt. He looked up and saw that everyone was quietly crying. "When will the funeral be?" He asked.
"This Sunday." Ayame whispered out.
Everyone was silent, and didn't dare to speak that night, and very little up to the day of the funeral. The service was beautiful and as everyone passed the casket, something surprising happened. Kyo stopped and bowed his head and began saying "I'm sorry." over and over again. Arisa had to help him stand up straight and walked him over to a bench as she tryed to calm his tears.
"I guess he isn't such a heartless fool." Yuki said, feeling quite odd with seeing his cousin show any other emotion aside from rage.
"Let's go Yuki." Tohru said, as she took his hand.
'Yeah lets go." The two walked away back to the house somber from the day's events.
A few months later...
"How are we supposed to walk down the aisle in this!" Arisa exclaimed as she stepped out from the dressing room.
"You walk Arisa." Saki said as she had her royal purple dress pinned to the right length.
"How am I supposed to do that in this red corset thingy and those heals!" Arisa said as she attempted walked but instead pitched foward onto her face. "That fucking hurt." she said as she did what looked like a push-up.
"How do I look?" Tohru asked as she walked out in a dark blue dress, with a satin corset top with velvet ribbons to tie the back. She spun around in her sparkled blue shoes, with the chiffon skirt of varius shades of deep blues intermixed.
"Oh Tohru, you look beautiful." Saki said as her gown was pinned a bit more.
"You look so perfect." Arisa said as she looked down at her red satin corset and chiffon skirt of different deep reds. "I look stupid."
"You just need some help walking in heels in a long dress." Tohru said as she took Arisa's hands in her own, and walked backwards, telling her how to walk gracefully. After some time, Arisa was able to walk gracefully with out the help of Tohru. "Thanks." She said, as she blew a piece of her blonde hair from her eyes. "It's harder than it looks though!"
"Indeed it is." Tohru said with one of her cute smiles.
"I'm done." Saki said as she stepped out from the dressing room in her normal attire of black.
" Just let us change." Tohru said as she walked to an available dressing room.
Once they were all ready, they headed out and with smiles on their faces. "Only two weeks until the wedding." Arisa said with a cocky grin on her face. "You ready?" she asked Saki.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
"Because of your honeymoon." Tohru said.
"What do you mean?" Saki and Arisa asked together.
"Well you know, because of the sex." Tohru said with a blush on her face.
"We've done it before." Saki said simply, leaving Tohru shocked.
"Wh-aaaat!" Tohru exclaimed.
"I think we should give her some lessons." Arisa said as she and Saki each took one of Tohru's arms in their grip. They led her to a local cafe and ordered lunch before going into the entire sex ed thing.
