Chapter 8- You Broke It

"You okay there, Tohru?," Hatori asked.

"As well as I can be. I was so scared Hatori," Tohru said.

The two were walking back to Hatori's clinic after that confrontation with Akito.

"I was scared, as you can imagine. I just lost it after Akito threw that vase at you. I have no idea what I was doing," Hatori said.

"I was silently cheering you on. I do feel sorry for what Akito went through his whole life," Tohru bit her lip.

"I shouldn't have done what I did. He really did bear the full force of the zodiac curse for everyone's benefit," Hatori sighed.

"What's done is done and over with. At least we're both fine," Tohru smiled.

"Fine? Look at your arms," Hatori said.

"Sure, they hurt, but I'm okay. Really. We're still together and that's what matters," Tohru exclaimed with a bright smile that radiated love and kindness.

Hatori nodded silently and smiled at Tohru.

They reached the clinic and went to an exam room by themselves. Tohru sat on the table while Hatori cleaned and bandaged the cuts on her arms silently.

"Don't you feel different Hatori?," Tohru asked.

"In what sense?," Hatori said in reply.

"I'm not even sure. For some reason, the air just feels lighter to me."

"I don't feel any difference," Hatori shrugged.

"I feel it, and it's getting stronger too."

"I don't feel anything, Tohru. Do you feel well?"

"I'm fine. I just have to know: can I hug you?"

"Huh? Of course you can. I just want to know where this is going."

"I just have a hunch," Tohru stood in front of Hatori.

Hatori looked at her with raised eyebrows. Her eyes were deep in thought. Then, they threw their arms around each other.

Hatori closed his eyes and braced himself for a transformation that never came. He threw open his eyes in shock as he realized that for the first time in his life, he was hugging a woman. All he could do was pull Tohru closer and cry over her shoulder.

"Hatori. You broke it. You broke the curse," Tohru cried.

Hatori cried away all his problems and worries as he held his love close. Tohru was gald to be giving Hatori his first real hug as his wife. She smiled and cried with him.

There they were, hugging each other as though they were hanging on for dear life. They cried like there's no tomorrow and were drenched in tears. One would not let go of the other. They held that pose for minutes on end. They were the absolute true picture of love and trust...

Aww! I just had to break the curse! I nearly cried myself while I was writing this chapter. I can really picture their faces at this point- especially Hatori.

Ever wonder what happened to the other Sohmas? No need to worry. You'll be seeing some of them soon. So, keep reading and look forward to your favorite character and some cute pairings as well!
