Goodbye Father
A/N: I do not own! Actually now that I think about it, I do own something! Yatta! "And that would be?" Oh Kyo! Silly goose! I own Hoshino's father, Hoshino and Sora, silly! "But you don't own us...thank god!" Hey! Don't be rude! That's right peoples, I do not own Fruit Basket sadly, but I do own Sora, Hoshino, and the father of Hoshino so yeah...let's go to the story shall we! :3
The Shoji was opened by Kyo and he was yelling with worry."Hey! She's not home again! Where did she go?!" "Eh? Didn't Tohru say she was going to a friend's house? Didn't she tell you during dinner last night?" Shigure said still looking at the TV while sipping his cup of tea. "Huh really?" Kyo said a little clueless. "...listen when people are talking to you." Yuki said not really listening to him and looking at the TV. I was just looking at him sort of giggling, he saw that I was laughing at him and gave a glare. Ow!
Kyo blushed and looked over at Yuki and said, "Shut up...that's her fault, she usually doesn't go out!" Then Shigure started going to poetic mode, "from this, we can see that Tohru has already blended into the family. Where is our little flower now?!" He said a little too proud of himself as he sip his tea. "What do you mean?" Yuki said a little confused looking at Shigure. "You moron." Said Kyo and started to walk off.
"Kyo wait!" I said when I catched him at the hallway. He stopped, his back was to me but his head was turned to me. "Um...well..." I looked at the floor not knowing what else to do. "What?" I heard him say. "I...well...I was thinking..." "About?" He asked getting a little annoyed that I was taking forever to say what I wanted to say.
"Please don't get angry." I said still looking at the floor. He didn't respond. "I was thinking of...going to my fathers house..." It was quiet for like a few seconds before I heard him yell. "You what?! Like hell I'll let you!" I felt his hands grip my wrists and it hurts. "I won't let you go there Hoshino and you know it!" I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were filled with anger and fear. "Kyo listen, I need to go back there." "No you don't!" "Kyo!"
"I don't understand why you need to go back there! He almost fucking killed you! Remember?!" I winced remembering that. "I remember..." I looked back at the floor. "Then, why do you want to go the fuck back there?" Kyo's voice finally went back to regular volume and his grip seem to soften as well. "Kyo, you don't understand, I don't want to go back there...I just NEED to go back there." I looked at him, hoping he would understand but no dice.
"I don't want you to go there and die this time, Hoshino. Can it wait, when he's dead?" I shook my head slowly looking back at the floor. "What is it that you need to get over there?"
Flashback
"Sora? What is it?" I said in my dreams. "There are 3 feathers in the same person Hoshino, you got to hurry and find them." Sora said with a pleading voice. "What? But...Sora!" She slowly disappeared into thin air and remembering that clue she left behind as I woke up. There was a picture of a girl who looked like me only smaller and younger. Then on the right side of me, was a mother smiling in her beautiful emerald green dress. On the left side, was the father that gave me torture when I was little. Don't tell me...He has the 3 feathers.
"I just need to go..." He didn't respond and his hands were now shaking and I felt his hands were wet. I looked up to see his eyes were no longer angry but were replaced with sadness and he still had horror in his eyes. "I don't want you to go, Hoshino...I don't." His head was the one that looked down on the floor this time. I hugged him, hoping that he knows that I would be alright. "I'll be back in a few days. I promise you that I'll be back in one piece." He looked at me doubtly. "Trust me, Kyo." I looked at him and he looked at me, time seemed to stop when we looked in each others eyes.
Kyo really didn't give me a proper answer during that time, he just walked off. When it was around 7 or so, I found Yuki and Kyo sleeping. "We're home!" I heard Shigure yell from the door entrance. I went to where he was to see Tohru and Shigure taking off their shoes and getting their slippers. "Welcome home...How was your friend's house?" I asked Tohru who was taking off her slippers. "Oh! It was fine." She said waving her hands like I was supposed to forget it or something. "Where are Yuki and Kyo, Hoshino?" Shigure asked walking past me and I turned around to look at his back. "They're in the washitsu (Japanese styled room)." I said. Shigure went in and Tohru was behind him after that was me. "eh...The kotatsu made these two little devils fall asleep! I guess they can get along sometimes...Hey! Get up! Don't you want dinner?" Shigure yelled at them but they were still fast asleep. That gave me an idea.
"Tohru..." Tohru looked at me and gave me a confused face. "I have to go over to my parent's house for a few days. I hope you don't mind." I said a little sad and in the corner of my eyes, I saw Shigure's eyes darken. All the Sohma's know what happened to me even Akito so it's no surprise that Shigure gave me that look. "Oh no! I don't mind at all but before you go, don't you want any dinner?" Tohru asked a little concerned and sad that I was leaving. "I'll be fine Tohru, I'll eat there." I didn't want to trouble her too much.
"...ok...if you say so." Showing her sadness on her face and her posture. I hug her out of habit. "Don't worry Tohru, It's only a couple of days, alright?" She hugged me back and nodded.
"Did you already pack?" "Yeah..." I looked over at Shigure to still see that he was giving me that mysterious and dark look that was really familiar. "Shigure, you don't mind if I go, right?" His eyes returned to normal but I can tell by his smile that he was forcing it. "I don't mind Hoshino but did you ask Kyo?" I looked over at Kyo who was still asleep and smiled a little sadly. "You know what his reply to my parent's house is..." I turned around and was at the hallway and I whispered. "There's no way he'll let me go." I went into mine and Tohru's room to get my bag.
When I came back, Kyo and Yuki were still asleep, Tohru was getting dinner ready, and Shigure was probably in his office..."working". I went to Kyo and saw how cute he looks when he sleeps. I went to Yuki first and kissed his cheek just for formality. When I went to Kyo, I kissed him on the cheek and then I felt gravity pulled me down. Kyo was on top of me and I was pinned to the floor by him. "K-kyo?! ...I thought you were asleep!"
Kyo's eyes were sort of dazed but I know he was still up. "You didn't think I heard you, didn't you? Even though I don't want you go to THAT place you're still going to go anyways!" His grip on my wrists was starting to hurt but I kept my eyes on him. His eyes were telling me not to go, to stay. Kyo was coming closer to the point where our foreheads and noses were touching. God! If he comes any closer, I think I'll lose control. "Are you sure you're going to go no matter what?" I looked in his eyes and nodded. He looked sad for a moment but he closed his eyes and sighed. "Fine." He got off me and he pulled me up but his hand was still gripping my wrist.
"Let me at least take you there." He said looking at his gripped hand. I looked at him and replied, "Ok." I told Tohru that I was going and Kyo told her to keep his dinner warm. When I told Shigure I was going with Kyo, his eyes had relief in them but also a spark of excitement? Maybe it was just me.
I breathed in and out. I was finally here in the death trap as I called it, when mom passed away. Kyo looked at me and I saw his eyes were looking at our hands entertwined. "..how long was it...since we've done this?" I looked at our hands as well, I just shrugged. "One things for sure, you've gotten taller and your hands gotten bigger." "That's two things, Hoshino." I giggled at his response. "Wait! Are you saying that I'm stupid?!" He looked at me with spark of challenge in his eyes, oh boy...here we go again. "I never said that." I shrugged.
His hand gripped tighter in my hand making me look at him with concern. "What's wrong?" "...It's never too late you know." I smiled knowing he was worried about me. "It's only a few days, don't worry about me. I'll be fine." I gave him my most reassuring smile but he wouldn't buy it. "Isn't there anyway I can stop you?" He lowered his head so his forehead and mine would touch. "No, I'm afraid not." He sighed and let go of my hand but our foreheads were still touching. "Just be careful." I smiled and said, "I will."
Once Kyo left, I opened the door slowly. The smell of alcohol wafted through and not long after was the smell of smoke, mostly it was just tobacco. I gripped my teardrop necklace that was secured around my neck. As long as I have Sora with me, I cannot die. I keep repeating this in my head. I kept going straight where a glass window was seen. The smell of alcohol and tobacco kept getting stronger each step I took. I opened the glass window slowly and carefully.
The room was the same. The black curtains covering the backyard doors and windows, the couch was tattered but still good to sleep on, carpet had one huge stain from red wine and couldn't get it out, table next to the backyard doors still had 4 chairs, however there was a new tv. Next to the table was the kitchen that had all the neccesary supplies, just your average kitchen.
No trace of my supposed to be father. I went in the room and slowly and carefully closed the door. I looked around and didn't see him. Out of the corner of my eye, I see him in the kitchen looking down but his body was facing me. My heart was racing like no tommorow, if I could run, I would've done it a long time ago.
"I thought I got rid of you a long time ago..." I saw his eyes were now looking at me. His dark eyes filled with nothing but hate. I looked at the carpet not knowing where else to look. "Obviously, you missed."
I heard his footsteps coming closer, this made my heartbeat go faster each step he takes. I heard him cocking his gun and I felt the gun on my forehead, do I dare look up? I look up to see he did have the gun on my forehead and he had his index finger on the trigger. "Why can't you die?" His eyes were very dark I looked to where his chest area is to see that there was 3 red feathers glowing figures just like Sora said there was.
I closed my eyes slowly, when my eyes were fully closed I said to him, "go ahead, try." The gun was shaking...that couldn't be, right? I mean he hated my guts and even if he didn't, why did he shoot me back then? When you shoot your daughter, there is only one explanation. So, why is he hesitating? This isn't like him at all. A gunshot was heard finally. I opened my eyes to see his eyes full of horror this time. I look behind to see a hole where the gunshot was supposed to hit me but it went pass me.
"Who...are...you?" His eyes were still fill with horror. "I told you, you missed me." He backed away slowly his hands shaking and letting go of the gun. When the gun hit the floor, he fell on the floor. He looked too frozen to move so I took this chance to get his feathers.
"As the reincarnation of Sora the blue angel..." I started to recite to summon his feathers out of his body, a summoning circle surrounded me and him. "I, Hoshino, will take the feathers out of your heart." I felt wings spread out of my back and soon enough blue wings spreaded out, with that I opened my eyes. "OPEN!" A heart figure started to shape where his heart was and then a scream was heard.
When the screaming was done, there it was, the three red feathers. I held out my hand and they came to me. I spreaded out the 3 feathers, closed my eyes, and said, "close." With that, the red feathers became red dust and slowly went into my blue pendant. When all of it was in there, the necklace made a glow of red but then went back to blue.
I looked on the floor to see him breathing hard. "Why did I realize this now?" I heard him whisper. I went closer to him and kneed down so I could hear him better. "Hoshino, my daughter, I'm sorry that I couldn't be a good father to you. I wished I could've made it up to you." "...is that why you were hesitating to shoot me?" He shook his head slowly and I saw his eyes return to light brown. "You looked exactly like your mother." My heart thumped loudly. "...near the TV, you'll find a drawer that has something inside, I think you'll want to see."
I went to where he told me, when I pulled it out, it showed something I made in kindergarden.
"Hoshi-chan!" I looked behind me to see my mother calling me. I said bye to some of my friends from my class and hugged her. "What do you have in your hand, Hoshi-chan?" She pointed to the paper heart I have in my hand. "This is for you and Daddy!" I smiled. It had a picture of me, mother, and father when I was a baby. "Oh, Hoshi-chan it's so beautiful! Your father will love this! Let's hurry up and show him!" I nodded with excitement so much that I couldn't wait to show him.
The heart was no longer there but it has been replaced with a gold heart locket with the photo I used for it. Tears were slowly going down to my cheeks. I turned to my pale father. "This is..." "Yeah, I treasured it." I looked at it once more and tears were now fully going down at full speed. "Dad!" He was now really pale and looked like he only had a few breaths left in him. "I...love you...my beautiful...daughter...I'm sorry..." I went to him and held his hand and had his hand feel my cold wet cheek. "Please, dad! Don't die! I love you too! Please don't go!" He smiled once more before his final heartbeat was gone.
I felt Sora hugging me even though she didn't come out. "Dad!...Daddy!" I felt like a 9 year old again, the time where I cried for my mom was now happening to me, again. Tears were flowing down with no end of stopping.
Thunder was heard and light started to shine for a second and then went back to darkness. I opened the curtains and saw that it was raining. "How appropriate...it rains just like my mood." I smiled but then tears once again fell and my hand gripped the glass window and I slowly slide down to the floor, hugging myself for comfort.
