Title: Tohru's Task

Summary: Tohru made a pact with a god to save haru's soul, but what consequence does the onigiri have to pay? Sequel to Demon Days, the adventures of the afterlife abound, but somehow she has to keep up with a normal life. What's a messenger of the dead to do?

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! Oh and Remi and almost any reaper in the future...

Chapter 15-

"Tohru! You're home early," Kyo said surprised as she came in, he saw her distressed look, "Are you okay?"

Yuki came out from the kitchen.

"Oh, I'm fine," she sighed a little distracted, "I… something just happened at work and they let me out early."

"You don't look hurt," Haru said, looking her over.

"Mmm, I… Remi was hurt," she frowned, 'a big ugly evil spirit tried to get him. But he's kind of dead. I'm still confused.'

"How?" Kyo asked curiously.

Tohru shook her head with a sigh and wandered upstairs.

"Tohru?" Yuki called after her worriedly, and followed her upstairs.

"Not right now," she told him and went into her room.

She'd never really thought too much on the reapers themselves. The thought that they'd already died had come up and that evil spirits often went after them. But what would happen if that spirit had gotten Remi. What would happen to him? How was it that Jullen said that the reapers were sort of still alive? She'd never thought about them eating and sleeping; which she knew they did.

She guessed it was just one of those things she'd never get.

"Tohru," Shigure said as he searched around for her.

"In here!" she yelled from the living room.

"Tohru, the school called," Shigure sighed, Tohru immediately stopped cooking, stunned, "they said you've been skipping class."

"But my grades haven't suffered have they?" she asked avoiding the immediate subject, "they're fine right?"

"They said that your grades are better than ever; but this sudden lack of attendance worries your teachers," Shigure sighed.

"Oh well, its nothing to worry about," Tohru said with a smile, 'I only skipped when I was learning anything or my work was done.'

"Tohru, skipping school is something to worry about," Shigure told her worried about her lack of concern, "didn't you promise your mother?"

"I promised my mom I'd graduate," Tohru told him.

"Why? What's so important that you'd skip classes?" Yuki asked surprising both Tohru and Shigure; neither of whom realized he was listening in.

They turned to realize not only was Yuki listening but Kyo too.

"Umm… I…" Tohru mumbled trying to come up with an explanation, not wanting to tell them the truth, but in the end lying was the answer, "I was having fun."

"Having fun?" Kyo asked unsure he'd heard her.

"Yeah, I was hanging out with Remi," she said Remi's name hesitantly, "It was fun."

"Remi," Kyo snorted angrily.

"Does he go to our school?" Yuki asked curiously. She shook her head, "than how is it that you two are meeting?"

She thought for a moment; what should she tell them? The closest to the truth.

"He comes and sees me," she muttered.

"Where does he go to school?" Yuki asked annoyed at her answer.

"Oh, he doesn't," she muttered, and then suddenly ran off toward the kitchen shouting behind her, "Oh, dinner's going to burn! Better go and check it!"

"Hm, I bet," Shigure sighed, "once again we have another thing to blame on this Remi."

"How's it that he's getting into the school?" Kyo hissed angrily.

"Is he older than us?" Yuki wondered a loud.

"What does that matter!" Kyo hissed annoyed.

"Because if he's not that would mean he never finished high school," Shigure told him.

"And why does that matter?" Kyo continued being angry, "I don't like that guy. Not one bit."

"At least we agree there," Yuki sighed, "I don't like Remi either, and he's obviously a bad influence on Tohru. I wonder what they were doing that was so fun?"

"You know Tohru's not that kind of girl," Shigure tsked Yuki.

"I wasn't thinking about that!" Yuki yelled at him annoyed, "Get your mind out of the gutter!"

"Or we'll do it for you," Kyo added yelling at him.

Just then there was a knock at the door.
