Title: Tohru's Task

Summary: Sequel to Demon Days. Everything is back to normal, or close to it, now that Tohru has saved the day; but all is not right. Tohru must now repay the debt she owes to the god, Jullen, for his help, try to have a relationship with Yuki, and oh the Hilarity that ensues... (Sing-song voice) Tohru as a Reaper!

Long summary!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, but I do think I own the idea of Tohru becoming a reaper! Just think about her ushering souls into the afterlife!

Chapter 4- Remi

Remi sat next to some of the other of Jullen's workers in quite a huff; he was not a happy reaper to say the least. Why did Jullen insist he do this task? If anything it only slowed things down. He churned out a good 3,000 souls each day. Why him? Plus he just knew the girl would be infuriating- he could see that just by the one time they met. But then he had given up. He had no choice in the matter seeing how the god was and wouldn't budge in his idea.

The week had passed by quite uneventfully; there was still the occasional Yuki- Kyo centered fight just like normal but it was still a rather boring week. Even Tohru couldn't wait til the weekend even if she did have to do more soul collecting. She hurried home as she needed to make dinner ahead of time just in case she wouldn't be home in time. Tohru didn't really know how long her times could be when she was out working for Jullen.

It was about 3:00 when her bracelet started flashing. She, Yuki, Haru, and Kyo were all sitting in the living room and Yuki was helping her with her homework.

"Umm... Tohru," Yuki began seeing the buzzing bracelet, and pointing to it, "your bracelet is flashing."

"Oh no, um... sorry you guys I've got to go to work," Tohru shouted as she raced out of the house, "BYE!"

She was just outside when she pressed the button and felt the tingling sensation as she left this plane.

Within minutes she was standing in the room she recognized as outside Jullen's office.

She knocked on the door and waited for a reply.

"Who is it!" he asked, looking up from his desk.

"Tohru," she said.

"Ah, yes, come in, come in!" He shouted and she opened the door to reveal not only Jullen but Remi in the room as well.

"Oh, hello," she quickly greeted both of them bowing.

"You remember Remi from before right?" Jullen asking pointing him out.

"Oh yes, of course Ishuzu-san!" she said and bowed to him again.

"Remi is fine," he said quietly a look of contempt on his face.

"Oh, then Remi!" she corrected herself and bowed twice more.

"I've decided that Remi is going to be your partner while you are out working. It's not really safe for you by yourself," Jullen commented.

'Yeah, you decided not me!' Remi thought angrily.

"So, you will work with Remi," Jullen said and handed Tohru her new list, this list had fifteen people on it, "you hold on to that, Remi's just there to guide you and keep you safe."

"Yes, Jullen!" she bowed.

"Let's not waste time," Remi told her bluntly and made for the door.

"Okay," Tohru said hurrying after Remi.

"Fuck, you can teleport fine can't you!" he asked, turning to her, still in that rather pissed about the situation mood.

"Yes!" she said and bowed again.

"Stop, bowing you look like a fucking duck," he told her angrily.

"Sorry!" she told him and almost bowed again but stop herself.

"Fucking A, what's the first fucking stop on your damn list?" he said, rolling his eyes.

"Umm..." she said looking at it, "Thelma Jorgensen, Queensland Australia."

"Right let's go," he sighed and within seconds the two of them were standing in Australia.

The pair were standing in a vast field on the outback; to one side was a small village.

Tohru gasped and her eyes got big as she saw some kangaroos drinking water from a small dilapidated stream a few feet away.

"They're fucking kangaroos not dinosaurs," Remi sighed and grabbed her dragging her to the village muttering. "Never seen a fucking kangaroo. Stupid girl."

"No, no, not up close like that before!" Tohru gasped trying to defend herself as Remi dragged her. "There's some at the zoo!"

Remi only nodded and growled.

"There," he pointed to elderly looking woman once they were in the village, "have fun."

Remi started to walk away.

"B-b-but I thought you were suppose to help me!" Tohru protested, grabbing Remi's hand.

"You saying you can't handle one fucking old lady!" Remi growled at her angrily, a glare fixed at her.

"N-no!" Tohru again protested, but didn't relinquish Remi's hand.

"Then fucking let go, bitch!" He growled and yanked his hand from hers, "do it your fucking self!"

"Don't leave me!" Tohru fretted, and tears started to fall from her cheeks. Remi turned a slight shade of red and muttered hurriedly. "I'm not going to fucking leave you."

Tohru brightened, "Really?"

"Yeah," Remi sighed rolling his eyes.

"Oh, thank you!" She blurted and hugged him. Once again Remi blushed before shoving her away.

"Go help the lady," he sighed, seeing the lady had already died and was wandering around. Probably wondering how she'd got so better all of the sudden and why the other villagers couldn't see her. "Or it'll be too late for her to make into heaven."

"Oh!" Tohru shouted in surprise and ran over to the lady. "Hello!"

"Young lady, you can see me?" she asked, in surprise as she took in Tohru's appearance.

"Yes, ma'am," Tohru answered. "Umm... Thelma was it?"

"Yeah, that's me," she said getting worried.

"Well, Thelma, I'm sorry, but you're dead," Tohru told her apologetically, seeing the shocked look on Thelma's face. "I've come to take you to the afterlife."

"I..." she fretted and then all of the sudden straightened up, "If this is God's will then its God's will. I am ready, you can take me."

From where he was Remi rolled his eyes.

The lady left in the white light peacefully to meet her maker.

"Remi, where are you from?" Tohru asked after they had arrived to their second destination. She tried to lock her eyes into his coal rimmed ones but it was to no avail.

"Egypt," Remi muttered not turning to face her. "Ancient Egypt."

"You mean like with the pyramids and such?" Tohru asked in complete surprise.

Remi nodded, eyes focused straight ahead, "I was a servant to the Pharaoh."

"Wow!" Tohru gasped, "that sounds important!"

Remi nodded once again.
