Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket.
I am so terribly sorry everyone for not updating for GOD KNOWS HOW LONG! I have recently moved, and had to deal w/ a flood, and all this bull that it's crazy. So forgive me. I've just found out I can use word processor at the library so I shall be back!
As the gang waited for the food to arrive, Tohru sat anxiously, hoping that her two best friends were merely toying with her. The idea of hearing about their sex lives made her jittery inside. She didn't need to know. She knew that Yuki could teach her on the wedding night. Did they really have to teach her in a public place too?
"So Tohru, here are the basics." Arisa said as she brought her hands together, excitement gleaming in her eyes. "When it comes to the act, you have to be naughty."
"I have to b-be what?!" Tohru exclaimed.
"Arisa, really must you scare our poor Tohru like that?" Saki said before turning to face Tohru. "You really must dress in black, and do a bit of bondage." She said.
"I-I don't think I can do that." Tohru said with a big gulp. She stared at her friends, who had a mischievous look upon their face. She watched as a huge smile cracked their faces before they began to laugh.
"Tohru we're just playing with you. We weren't really going to teach you about the act. We're going to leave that to Yuki. You know guys really enjoy that." Arisa said, still chuckling.
"You guys are a bit mean, don't you think?" Tohru said with a very exultant sigh.
"You know we are just messing with you Tohru." Saki said.
"Really you scared me!" Tohru said.
"But do pay attention to the nipples. Men love it when you nibble on them." Saki said, her face serious.
"Or even suck on them a bit. It drives them crazy. And don't forget to touch him. A gentle caress can do wonders." Arisa said thoughtfully.
"You guys aren't joking anymore are you?" Tohru asked, incredibly nervous. She waited while the waiter brought them their food, and once he was gone she again asked if they were joking.
"Not really, it's what Kyo likes." Arisa said before taking a huge bite out of her burger.
"Hatori enjoys it too." Saki said as she took a bite of salad.
Tohru just sat there, her eyes bugging out, unable to comprehend what was going on.
"Tohru why aren't you eating?" Arisa asked, putting her burger down and exchanging it for a fry. She gestured, the fry still in her hand as she said, " You shouldn't be too shocked. I mean you and Yuki have been past second base, right?"
"She's not eating because she's unable to comprehend what we are talking about Arisa." Saki said, setting down her fork. "Tohru, we're just trying to get you more comfortable with the idea, not freak you out."
"Well I think you've told me enough." Tohru said as she stood up, her bag in hand. "Thanks for today but I'm just not feeling all too well." She said goodbye and left, the words of her friends still spinning in her head.
At dinner that night, Tohru was silent, unable to tear her mind from the sexual advice her friends had given her. It was so blatantly obvious that she wasn't in this universe. Yuki was worried that something bad had happened. "Tohru are you okay?" he asked, gently shaking her shoulders. She jarred back quickly, jumping from the shock.
"I'm here." She said her voice shaking.
"You look pale Tohru." he said, his brow furrowed in concern. "Are you sure that you are feeling okay?" He brushed some hair from her brow, feeling that she had a slight fever.
"I-I promise th-that I'm okay." she said, not at all convincing.
"How about you take a nice hot bath, and then I'll tuck you into bed, and you can tell me what's worrying you, if you have the energy . Whatever it is, it's gotten you to worry yourself into a fever." he said as he led her to the bath. "Go and relax. "He said.
While she was in the bath, he changed into his pajamas and waited in their room. When she came in, dressed in a soft pink flannel night gown, her hair down and damp around her clean, shiny face, he couldn't help the huge smile that crossed his face, lighting up his eyes.
"I love you." he said as he watched her smile back at him. "Now tell me what's been bothering you today." he said, patting the spot on the bed next to him. He waited until she was sitting next to him.
"Today I went to lunch with Saki and Arisa." she said, resting her head against his shoulder.
"I don't see why that should be worrying you. Unless it's the Kagura thing?" He held her hand in his, gently stroking it with his thumb.
"They decided to give me a s-sex e-ed lesson." she said, her voice barely becoming a whisper when she uttered the word 'sex'.
He barely heard her but was shocked. "Are you sure they weren't playing with you?" he asked, wondering exactly what they told her.
"I thought they were, but they then told me things that really made me think, and wonder. It's made me so confused Yuki!" she exclaimed, her face damp with tears. He could see the fear and confusion in her eyes.
"It's okay." He said, bringing her against his chest, as he gently stroked her hair. "There's nothing to be afraid of." He said soothingly, as a mother would do to a frightened child. "It's okay." he said. "When the night comes for us to make love, I promise there won't be anything to be afraid of. Forget what they told you, and focus on how you feel, about the love inside of us."
Tohru raised her eyes to his, still gleaming with tears, but he could tell they were not of fear but of love. "I love you." she said, stroking her fingers over his cheek in a soft feathery caress. She stared at his lips and lightly brushed her over his.
Yuki didn't stop nor deepen the kiss, just followed her lead. When she parted and rested her head against his chest, she sighed, listening to the soft beating of his heart. She knew everything would be okay.
A few weeks later, 2 days before Saki's wedding, Arisa had planned a great bachelorette party. The decorations were of blood red flowers, black lace, and candles. She had hired some strippers, quite gothic indeed. She knew that they would be wearing something along the lines of leather and chains.
When Saki, Tohru, Mie, Mine, and Kisa were set, Arisa cued the music and opened the curtain to reveal the stripper, dressed in leather barely there shorts, and some sort of strappy leather top. He began to dance, shaking his assets coming ever closer to everyone. Suddenly Tohru squeaked unbelievably loud. Everyone turned to stare at her, even the stripper.
"What's wrong?" Arisa asked, seeing Tohru completely flushed.
"Class President?!" she exclaimed, pointing her finger at their former class president from high school.
A/N: I shall update soon, but surely won't take as long as I did last time! Perhaps in a couple of weeks. Or less! Please forgive me and understand what has happened. It broke my heart when I kept getting reviews, knowing that I could do really nothing. I was mentioning it to my roommate, he said I could use his computer while he's in class. So yay!
Please read and review!
