Chapter 19- Yuki's Fate
Recap chapter 18 …
Tohru started to wake up a few days later. Her hand was tingling. She opened her hand and looked down at her hand. The ring lingered on her hand and bush of red hair were at her fingertips.
Smiling she gently began to play with them. Kyo looked up.
"Tohru." He cried. "Tohru's awake." Kyo called.
"Kyo." Tohru's weak voice sang.
Kyo dipped down to kiss her but lost his footing and slipped. Their chests crushed together and a puff of smoke…
Back to chapter 19…
…Didn't surround them.
"Kyo-san?" Tohru wondered.
He slimed and hugged her again.
"It's real." He thought out loud.
He pulled back to see her face.
The group came running in just to see Kyo and Tohru's amazed faces.
"She's awake!" Momiji yelled. "Can I hug you?" he asked. He jumped on the bed and wrapped his arms around her neck but he didn't change. "Tohru, what happened?"
"I think the real question is what didn't happen." Haru corrected.
"I don't know what happened." Tohru said. "I'm sorry."
"Why?" wondered Shigure. "You broke the curse!"
Tohru looked up. Slowly the Sohma's got into a line ready to hug a girl for the first time.
"Good to have you but dear Tohru." Haru said hugging her. He inhaled deeply and savored the moment.
"My sweet flower." Shigure said hugging her as well.
"Thank you." Hatori said. His hug was quick and awkward but he enjoyed it.
"I'm just going to hug you just to see what it's like. Nothing more." Hiro said. He slowly went up to Tohru. He hugged her quickly but she kept a hold of him. He was silently thankful.
"Was that so bad Hiro-san?"
"Yes." He spat.
"Tohru. I'm so HAPPY THAT YOU'RE AWAKE!" Ritsu said. "I'M SORRY I DON'T MEAN TO YELL."
"It's okay. Just hug me."
He did as he was told and gave her a nice gentle hug.
"My, my, my, well I've waited a long time for this and now is here I can't wait to finally hug my first girl." Ayame said floating up to Tohru.
"I'm glad to be that first girl Ayame." She said smiling.
He wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh this is prefect." He said. Tohru tired pulling back to give everyone else a waiting hug but he wouldn't let go.
"Ayame!" Kyo demanded.
"Oh alright." He said dreamily but he still didn't let go. Kyo stood up and Ayame finally let go. Tohru gave him a thankful glance.
"I want another one!" Momiji called and jumped up on Tohru. Hugging her deeply. "I'm going to hug you everyday. Can I hug Hana?" Momiji asked.
"I'm sure she'll like that." Tohru answered. He smiled and stepped back.
Tohru looked around the room.
"Where Yuki-san"?" Tohru asked.
Everyone looked around. Yuki was nowhere to be found.
-------------------------------------------------
Right before Tohru woke up….
"I hope Tohru is alright." Yuki said to himself pacing up and down a hall in the Sohma house. "I don't know what I'll do without her."
With his emotions running high he turned.
"Oh great." He grunted.
"I should be with her, giving her my strength." He decided. His small little mouse body went up the stairs.
"She awake!" he heard someone call.
He hurried to the room she laid in. he wiggled in and hide behind the plant in the corner.
"Can I hug you?" Momiji asked. He heard bedsprings creak and everyone one gasp.
'What what is it?'
"Tohru, what happened?" Momiji wondered.
"I think the real question is what didn't happen." Haru said starling the little mouse.
"I don't know what happened." Tohru said. "I'm sorry."
"Why?" cried Shigure. "You broke the curse!"
Yuki could feel the air around him thicken.
He heard moving in the room. He peaked out.
All the guys lined up by Tohru who was now standing. The girls stood in the back of the room.
"Good to have you but dear Tohru." Haru said. Yuki could see them hug and Haru not change.
'It's true she broke the curse.' Yuki thought.
"My sweet flower." Shigure said hugging her as well.
"Thank you." Hatori said. His hug was quick.
"I'm just going to hug you just to see what it's like. Nothing more." Hiro said. "Was that so bad Hiro-san?" he heard Tohru wondered.
"Yes."
"Tohru. I'm so HAPPY THAT YOU'RE AWAKE!" Ritsu said. "I'M SORRY I DON'T MEAN TO YELL." Yuki covered his ears.
"It's okay. Just hug me."
"My, my, my, well I've waited a long time for this and now is here I can't wait to finally hug my first girl." Ayame said.
"I'm glad to be that first girl Ayame." She said.
He wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh this is prefect." He said. Tohru tired pulling back to give everyone else a waiting hug but he wouldn't let go.
"Ayame!" Kyo demanded.
"Ayame let go you sicko!" Yuki yelled but no one could here him.
"Oh alright." He said.
"I want another one!" Momiji yelled. "I'm going to hug you everyday. Can I hug Hana?" Momiji asked.
"I'm sure she'll like that." Tohru answered.
"Where Yuki-san"?" Tohru asked.
Yuki's ears perked up.
-------------------------------------------------------------
All together now…
"Oh I don't know." Haru said. "I'll go find him." Haru left the room.
"Hatori-san. You know a lot about this. How did I break the curse?" Tohru asked.
"When you hugged Kyo. You're true love, it broke the curse. So every Sohma will now and forever stay in the form they were in when you hugged Kyo."
"What if someone was changed and I hugged Kyo-san?"
"Well, that person will be there zodiac forever I'm afraid."
Panic washed over Tohru and Yuki.
"I couldn't find him." Haru said coming back.
"What if Yuki is changed? And I hugged Kyo?" Tohru cried. "What about the other zodiacs I haven't met? It's my fault." Tohru began to cry.
"I don't know Tohru. I don't know." Hatori said sadly.
"It's okay Tohru." Kyo tried to confront her. He realized he could finally hold her but didn't want everyone around the first time he could hold his Tohru. He kept his distance but tried his best to sooth her. "Please don't cry."
Yuki couldn't stand it anymore. He walked out for behind the plant and stood in front of Tohru. Still no one saw him.
He hoped on her foot and hugged her ankle.
Tohru looked down.
"Yuki-san." She cried. She picked him up. "Yuki-san are you alright?" she could see the tears in his little eyes. "Oh, I'm so sorry."
She hugged him lightly.
POOF!
A naked Yuki stood in front of her. His face was sad, and tears flooded his eyes.
"It's been reversed." Hatori said.
