A/N Hey everyone! Wow, it's been a really long time since I've updated. And I want to take this opportunity to apologize. I was very busy around the holidays and in January with all of my tests so I never really got around to typing. So, I'm very sorry to all of my loyal reviewers out there!

….Shall we????

The Onigiri and the Inu

Chapter 4- Mitsuki Urameshi

Tohru stood outside the door of an apartment in Tokyo. She was meeting with Mitsuki Urameshi today. She could still remember how shocked Ayame was when she had called Mitsuki up.

Flashback-

"Tohru are you sure that you want to meet with this woman?" Ayame asked. "Why bother paying any attention to her?"

"Because she's not the one at fault," Tohru said kindly. "If what her letter says is true, then she had no idea that Yuki was seeing anyone. So it's not like she slept with Yuki to sabotage our relationship. And besides, I feel like I owe her an apology."

"Very well," Ayame said, although he did not sound satisfied. "When will you meet with her?"

"I suppose I'll shoot for this weekend."

End Flashback-

And here she was, standing in front of Mitsuki's door, feeling more nervous than she could remember. Hesitantly, she knocked on the door and waited patiently for the knob to turn. After a few moments it did, and the door opened to reveal the woman Tohru had seen with Yuki.

"Uh…um…Miss Urameshi?" Tohru said quietly.

The woman nodded. "Yes. I take it you are Tohru Honda." Tohru nodded. Mitsuki tensed but said, "Please come in."

Tohru stepped inside her apartment. It was decorated with traditional Japanese décor. It reminded Tohru a lot of Shigure's house. Mitsuki led Tohru into the living room silently. A small coffee table with two mats was set up with tea already on the table. "Won't you please sit down?" Mitsuki asked.

"Thank you," Tohru said graciously.

The two sat and drank the tea in an awkward silence for a few moments. After it became too difficult to stand anymore, Mitsuki said, "I'm afraid I don't know where to start." Tohru kept her eyes downcast. "I suppose an apology would do best. I'm so sorry for everything," Mitsuki said, bowing low.

"Please don't apologize," Tohru said. "You're not at fault. Like you said, you didn't know that Yuki was seeing someone. Why should I blame you for what he did? He lied to us both."

A few tears came to Mitsuki's eyes. "I know that he lied to me but I still feel responsible. This is something that will haunt me for a long time."

"How is your baby?" Tohru asked suddenly.

Mitsuki gasped and then blushed. "Oh…well, I've been to the doctors and they said everything's fine."

"The time that I walked in on you two wasn't the first time, was it?" Tohru asked.

Mitsuki's blush deepened at this. "No, it wasn't," she said slowly. "We were dating for a while and the first time we had sex was here…about a month ago."

Tohru sighed. 'So he's been lying to me for over a month now,' she thought. "I see," she said quietly. "Yuki didn't say anything about his family while you were with him did he?" Tohru asked, a little unsure if that had been the right thing to ask.

Mitsuki shook her head. "No, he seemed to not want to mention his family. I just know that he has an older brother Ayame. I met with him a few days ago. Does he have any other siblings?"

"No, Ayame is his only brother," Tohru replied. She felt her voice becoming croaky and tears swelling in her eyes. She knew that the curse had been broken for this generation of Sohmas but she had no idea if the curse would affect the next generation. If that was true, than Mitsuki and Yuki's baby might end up being cursed. She wanted to tell Mitsuki about the curse but it wasn't her place to say. After all, she was never even under the curse.

"Are you all right Miss Honda?" Mitsuki asked. "You just turned pale all of a sudden."

Tohru gasped, "Oh yes I'm fine. I was just thinking."

Mitsuki smiled sadly. "Was it about Yuki? I know I probably have no right to feel this way but when I found out that Yuki had died, I broke down into sobs and I'm still crying myself to sleep. I truly loved him and I hope you understand that. I think about him all the time." Tears came to her eyes now.

Tohru and Mitsuki sat there in silent mourning for Yuki for a few moments. Both had been lied to and cheated on but neither could bring themselves to hate Yuki. They had both loved him so much. Eventually, Tohru broke the silence by saying how excited she was for Mitsuki and her baby, trying to lighten the mood. However, the situation was too serious and depressing to be made into anything happy or lighter.

Tohru then got up after another long, awkward silence. "I'm sorry but I have somewhere to be shortly," she said.

"Oh please, don't let me hold you up," Mitsuki replied.

As Tohru walked through the doorway she turned and said, "Thank you very much for meeting with me today. It really meant a lot."

"Oh, of course," Mitsuki said, sounding a little surprised.

"If you don't mind," Tohru started hesitantly.

"Yes?"

"Would it be possible for your baby to be apart of the Sohmas' lives?" Tohru asked rather quickly. "I know you've only met Ayame so I'm sure you can't make any promises like that when you've never even met them. But your child is Yuki's also and I know that he'd want his child to know his family."

"I'm actually asked me that," Mitsuki said. "You see…I was going to ask you if my baby could be part of the Sohma family. And I was also wondering if I could meet the Sohmas one day."

Tohru, although a little taken aback, smiled. And it was one of her usual cheery smiles too, not the false sad ones she had been putting on lately. "Sure! I'm sure they'd all be glad to meet you. I'll call you soon okay?"

Mitsuki's eyes widened, completely shocked by Tohru's extreme attitude change all of a sudden. "Okay."

Tohru bid Mitsuki goodbye and then left the apartment complex. As she was walking down the street, she felt as though a small weight had been lifted off her chest. Oh sure, she still held that horrible feeling in her heart whenever she thought of Yuki. And of course she was still saddened by his death…but now it didn't seem overbearing anymore. It was like the light was finally breaking through the dark clouds that had been covering her heart ever since that terrible day.

A/N Well, there you go. I hope I was able to continue to satisfy.
