Grad Night

It's the evening of their graduation and Kyo and Tohru spend one last visit on the roof of Shigure's house together, unknowing to what plans will soon be in store for the two of them. Now a full length story! Rated for language!

Me: It took me so long to figure out what was going to happen in this chapter. It's shorter than the last two, but I hope it packs quite a punch in the end! Now, without further ado, I will reply to the reviews!

Glorious Kyouru Shimuri: LOL. I'm so glad you liked my chapter and I was surprised how much of an impact it was. I wanted to cry when I was proofreading it. But it wasn't supposed to be a TohruxHatori. I just took advantage of the fact that Hatori happened to be there.

Short Witty Name Goes Here: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my chapter. Gives you a handkerchief for your hidden tears. I am updating as fast as I can.

Rinoa-Heartlilly-17:Yes, I am continuing with the story! Thanks so much for your support!

Ferret Love: I know! I know! The poor lovers! If you want to read the mangas that haven't been released yet in America, go to http/ up to vol. 21 right now!

trishia: I'm glad you liked the last chapter. The NEXT chapter will be happy! I promise!

moonflower: Gomen nasai! I didn't mean to make you cry! Gives you a cookie

earthterra55: I'm really glad that you understood the similarities with this chapter and when Haa-san had to erase Tohru's memories. That was the direct aim of this story! I will continue! Thanks for your review!

Me: Now...without any further ado...we have Shigure Sohma reading off the disclaimer for today!

Shigure: YAY! I'm so happy I get to help out today!

Me/Thinks/ Why did I ask him to read the disclaimer? I don't even care for dogs that much. Well...it can't get any worse, right?

Ayame: HEELLO!

Me+.+

Shigure: Ayame! You came!

Ayame/While roses are behind him/ Why Shigure...how could I ever forget about you?

Shigure/Same background/ I should have known...we can never be apart with what we have together.

Ayame: SHIGURE!

Shigure: AYAME!

/Both are running towards each other with the roses background. But our poor author is right in the middle of this. She holds up a sign that says "help!"/

Hatori/Who's being held hostage./ Can I go now?

Words coming across the screen: Hinata Pensuke does not own Fruits Basket in anyway. They belong to their respective owners!

Kyo Sohma laid back in his bed, looking up at the cracked and damaged ceiling of the Cat's Room. His eyes looked dead to the rest of the world under his natural orange hair. It had been almost six years since he first stepped foot in his life-long prison. The years had been quite good to him, but the neko held a careworn look. Rarely did anyone come to visit with him. Even the maid who brought him his meals and cleaned up his room spared any words.

It's not like the cat didn't try to forget his former life as a free man. Kyo wanted so badly for those memories to go away and to quit torturing him. But her face was always on his mind. The thought of her sweet voice shook the foundations of his soul. Those memories he wanted so bad to share with her ate at his sanity mercilessly.

To try and shake off these miserable feelings, Kyo stood and went back to sharpening his fighting skills. He heard the door open, but he pretended to take to notice. Once the maid set the neko's food down at his low table, he waited until she left before sitting down to eat his dinner. As Kyo ate, he knew the only thing he had to look forward to was when the day he would die.

"How is he?"

Hatori looked up at Shigure, a confused look hiding under his emotionless face. "How is 'who'?"

"Well Kyon of course, Haa-san!" Answered a very loud Ayame. Some things never changed.

The dragon sighed. "He's surviving."

"He still misses her, doesn't he?" Shigure asked.

I would obviously be lying if I told you he didn't." Hatori replied, lighting up a cigarette. When he took in a long drag on his cancer-stick, he noticed Shigure eyeing him sadly. So he tossed him an unlit cigarette. "Idiot."

"Well couldn't you rid Kyo of the memories he had with Tohru like you did to her?" Ayame asked, his head tilting to the side.

"It's not that simply. Akito forbids it." Hatori replied. "She wants him to suffer from those memories."

"It could only get worse if Kyo ever found out about that child." Shigure added. But when the dog received confused looks from his friends, he gave this 'I-know-something-you-don't-know' look. "That's right! I never told you two, didn't I?"

Hatori rubbed his temples like he had a headache. "What are you talking about?"

The dog reached inside the folds of his clothes again to pull out a large envelope. He held it in front of the two to see. Curious, Hatori took it from him and began to open it carefully.

"What's inside?" Ayame asked excitedly.

"You'll see." Shigure replied, hiding his face behind his open fan. (A/N: Nani! Where'd that come from!)

Hatori pulled out what appeared to be photographs. Carefully, he started to examine them. "Shigure, where did you get these?" He handed a few over to Ayame, who's beggar's hands were reaching out.

The snake started looking at them and gasped. "It's Tohru! She's grown ten-times as beautiful since the last time we've seen her! Her hair! Look at her hair! It's shorter!"

"You know that Momiji became a photographer." Shigure said, answering Hatori's question over Ayame's loud banter. "Well, I guess he was visiting with his father at his work a few days ago. But as he was leaving, he not only saw Tohru, but-"

"Who's this?" Ayame asked, thrusting a photo into the faces of his friends, getting their attention. "The little girl wrapped around our precious Tohru's legs."

"Momiji said her name is Sachiko." Shigure answered. "Honda Sachiko to be exact."

Hatori suddenly snatched the picture from the snake's hand and looked closer at it. A girl, not much older than four or five, the spitting image of Tohru, but with gorgeous orange hair. The dragon looked up at Hatori, having the look that meant he discovered some great mystery. The dog just smirked in return, knowing well of what he was thinking.

Ayame looked at one of the other photos of just the little girl and looked at it. "How wonderful that Tohru had a child! She looks just like her! How I'd love to dress this little Sachiko in my children's line of costumes! She is so adorable!"

"Ayame, this isn't just the child of Tohru." Hatori said, his emotionless tone remaining.

"Then who is she?" The snake asked.

"She's Kyo's daughter."
