Hey guys! Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. I haven't been updating frequently. School's been in the way, and I didn't know what to write next, lol! But, I finally got it! Whoot whoot! xD And, I can't sleep anyways. Hmmm, I think when I can't sleep, I usually end up coming up with some awesome and dramatic scene. So, tonight, I decided to write about one, because I'm those people who sit in the corner daydreaming I was in a drama... NOT. No, I'm not those type of people. Sorry for this long message.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits' Basket or it's characters, only this awesome story line, and so on. blah blah. Let's start
Chapter 9:
Previously:
The next day, Tohru woke up and realized it was time for school. She got out of bed and asked, "Do I know you?"
"Of course you do! I'm Yuki, you're boyfriend..."
"Are. You. Sure? I don't remember having one at all."
"Oh, aha, we've probably just haven't held hands or went out on a date in a while probably, that's why."
"No... You're lying..."
Yuki went right up next to Tohru and said, "I'd never lie to you."
Tohru answered, "I... I... I don't even know you! Go away!"
Tohru pushed Yuki with all her might while she was on the bed and cried, "Someone! Help! This man won't leave me alone!"
Hatori ran up stairs as soon as he heard Tohru scream. He saw the situation and dragged Yuki out of her room. Yuki screamed, "Tohru! Please remember!"
As soon as the doors closed, Tohru cried softly, thinking to herself, "What's the relationship between me and that weird guy? Where am I anyways? I must go back home, to my tent, where mom is."
While this happened, Hatori and Yuki were down stairs in the living room.
"Yuki, let me explain to you what happened to Tohru."
"What happened to her, Hatori!?"
"First, you need to calm down, then I will tell you."
Yuki took a couple of deep breaths, then said, "Alright, tell me now. I'm calm."
"As you saw, Tohru didn't know who you were. She's lost her memories after the incident."
"Are you kidding me?! How'd that happen?"
"To be frank with you, I don't know how it happened, but all I know is that her condition in regaining her memories is unsure. I'm afraid that if she remembers, it'll be too much for her to handle, and she'll probably be frightened and won't be able to live normally, like before."
"Er... uh... I... don't know what to say anymore."
"It's fine Yuki, take your time. This is gonna sting for a bit, but you will also have to forget if you possibly can."
"No, I don't want to forget, especially the love of my life, I can't. She's forever inside my heart."
"I'm sorry Yuki, but I'm afraid that she'll have to live a new life, without you."
"I... I..." Yuki paused, there was a long moment of silence, and then he finally said, "I... I'm ready for that to happen." But truly, inside his heart, he was screaming, "Tohru! I love you so much! I can't let you go! Please, you have to remember me, do you know how much it hurts me? Do you know that you'll always be inside my heart no matter what? Yeah, because that's how much you mean to me. I don't want to leave you, but, I guess that it'll only help you live your life without me. I'm sorry, but, if letting you go is the best thing for you, then I'm willing to take that risk. I love you. Please don't hate me for this."
"Good choice, we'll start as soon as I'm done telling her. Pack up her things when I'm talking to her down here."
"Yes, Hatori."
Hatori went into Tohru's room, with Yuki following behind, only to find her softly crying. Yuki's heart broke, but he stayed calm and with all his strength, stayed out of this situation. Hatori came over to Tohru and said, "It's okay Tohru. No need to cry. You'll be okay."
"Th- Thank you, doctor," she smiled at Hatori, "Can you tell me why I'm here, and what exactly happened to me?"
"Yes, I will, but you have to come with me for a bit, so that you don't feel isolated in this room, okay?"
"Yes, but, can he not follow you to wherever we're going?"
"He isn't coming along, don't worry."
Hatori put out his hand towards Tohru, and Tohru grabbed it. They walked out the door. As they were walking out the door, Tohru's hair slightly brushed against Yuki's face. "Her hair... I'll never get to touch it once more after this... Tohru, please don't go."
Yuki closed the door behind him and soon started packing up her things. Slowly, he started with her clothes, only to find that she still had her high school uniform. He chuckled, and thought of all the things that they have been through over the years. Then, he walked over to her desk, and packed up all her things on and in the desk. He saw the picture of Tohru's mom, Kyoko, and smiled. He closed his eyes, and said softly, "Please Kyoko-san, take care of Tohru like you always have when I'm not around any longer." He decided to pack that last since it was the most precious thing to Tohru. He went over to her bed, to tidy it up. He grabbed the pillow and blanket and pulled it off the bed. He pushed the bed mattress to where it should usually be, somehow, it shifted a couple inches over to the left side. As he pushed the mattress back to its original place, letters fell from the corner of the bed in between the mattresses onto the floor. He found most of them that said, "To Sohma Yuki" He took them off the floor and then found a small envelope that was labeled, "My thoughts that I cannot tell anyone else" He also took that off the floor and put all those letters in his pockets. He went back to tidy the bed. As soon as he was finished, he looked around the room, and almost forgot to pack up the photo of Tohru's mom. He grabbed it and wrapped it carefully.
Yuki looked around the room one more time and thought, "I wished this wasn't the last..." And walked out the room with Tohru's packed bag. He walked out the room, to hear Hatori's soft voice say, "I hope for the best, and I hope that you will be happy in the future. Your stuff in your room will be down soon. Take care." Yuki's heart beat faster and hurriedly went downstairs with the bag and into the living room.
"Oh, here you are Yuki." Hatori said.
"Yeah. Sorry, I was late."
"Actually, you're just on time."
"Oh, uhh... I guess."
"Honda-san, here's your bag. Take care, alright?"
"Yep. Will do, thank you for everything."
Tohru walked out the door, and walked slowly towards the road. Yuki looked at Hatori and said, "Are you crazy?! She could get lost so easily out there! We have to go help her!" Hatori stayed calm and then said, "Yuki, I gave her a map of where to go. Don't worry, she's staying with Uo-chan for the time being until she remembers that much for a while." Yuki looked back at Tohru and softly mumbled, "Be safe Tohru, for this is not the last time, the last time for anything. Don't hate me when you find your memories and the truth. Sorry I wasn't able to help you."
"What was that Yuki?"
"Oh, nothing much, just talking to myself Hatori. Don't mind me."
"Okay then. Take care, I have to go back to the mansion."
"Yes, I will. You too."
"Bye now."
Yuki closed the front door and went up to his room. He opened his door, and plopped onto his bed. He heard wrinkling coming from his pockets and completely forgot about Tohru's hidden letters. He opened the first one, the one with the oldest date on it, January 1st. It read,
Dear Yuki-kun,
Happy New Year's! It's late at night, and I'm afraid you're sleeping, so this would be pointless after I give it to you. Do you know, how much it's killing me inside to write this down because I'm afraid of what you'll say. Right now, I'm thinking that you're going to say, "Oh, thanks Honda-san. Sorry I didn't give you anything." I'm afraid that you wouldn't notice my feelings for you at all. I'm dying inside, trying to tell you how much I'm in love with you. We've been through so much together, you know? And I'm glad that you're the one sticking right next to me. Sincerely, Honda Tohru
Yuki smiled a bit, and mumbled, "Tohru, I've been knowing..."
He opened the next one, with the date, February 14th.
Dear Yuki-kun,
Happy Valentine's Day! I love you so much! Do you know how embarrassing it is for me to say that in front of your face? Haha, I'd be RED all over my face, like the roses you gave me. Thank you for that. I really love the fragrance of them. They're really beautiful. Have you ever noticed the way I look at you? I don't want to be a friend, I want to be more than that. I want to be yours, and only yours. I can feel it strongly in my heart, that it wants to be with you, for the rest of my life. Right now, I'm kind of scared if you'll reject me, because so many other girls want to be yours too. Please don't hate me! I don't want to ruin our friendship! Sincerely, with all my heart, Honda Tohru
Yuki laughed at this one, and then thought, "I'm sorry I had to let go. I love you so much Tohru."
