Chapter 3
Tohru was scared. No, shocked. Mad? Hurt? She didn't know how to feel. The scene before her was something that no one should have to see. There, in front of her, was one of her best friends, hanging, by her neck, in a tree. She was bloody and had a knife in her hand. When Tohru saw this, her mind went blank. She went into shock. She didn't even notice the people that had come to see why she had screamed. Tohru just sat there, wide eyed. Some people came up to her and asked what had happened but she couldn't hear them. She was so overwhelmed she just shut her sense of hearing.
When the police came, they took the body down and brought Tohru to ambulance to be checked. As they were checking her, Tohru just sat there, staring into space. "Miss Honda, is it ok if I ask you a few questions?" one police man said. "Miss Honda?" when he didn't get an answer he waved his hand in front of her face. "She won't answer you.-", said one of the doctors that had checked her. "We believe she went into shock. We think she came to the scene and then when she saw her friend, she became so overwhelmed that she just, well, became like this."
A few minutes later, the reporters came and went straight for where Tohru was to bombard her with questions. The police stopped them by saying that she wasn't feeling well and wouldn't answer any questions for the time being.
~~~~Shigure's House~~~~
"I'm bored~." whined the little rabbit. "It's only been 5 minutes since we finished the dinner Tohru left us and you're already bored?" shouted the already annoyed Hatsuharu. "Yes. Now come one, let's do something." Momiji was pushing Haru's buttons. He was already in a bad mood and the last thing he wanted to do was turn black. Momiji whined again, "Come on~." Haru was just seconds away from snapping. "Grrr. Let's just watch a movie!" He practically yelled. Momiji's face lit up. "That's a great idea! Haru, why don't you go find a movie while me and Yuki set the T.V. up and get some snacks?" Haru sighed and got up. 'At least this'll keep him quiet.' He thought.
Yuki just sat there while Momiji went to the T.V. He had heard sirens a little earlier before Momiji started whining and for some reason, his thoughts went to Tohru. He began to worry. All his thoughts came to a halt when Momiji turned the T.V. on and the news cast began.
~~~News Cast~~~
We're live at the Johnson residence where it appears that a 16 year old girl has committed suicide. We believe that this young girl goes by the name of Amber. There was another girl found at the scene. She appears to be the same age as the deceased.
~~Pans the scene where police cars and ambulances are all over and A lot of people are gathered~~
The police have tried to question her but she doesn't seem to want to respond. They have found some identification of the girl and we now know that she goes by the name of Tohru Honda.
~~~Shigure's house~~~
After Yuki heard the words "Tohru Honda", everything else was just mumbles because he bolted for the door. He knew something was wrong. He just knew it.
He ran as fast as he could to where Tohru was. He didn't worry about if he transformed. He just needed to get to Tohru. When he got there, he pushed his way through the crowd as far as he could, which was at the crime tap, (A/N I think that's what they are called….the yellow crime tape stuff….) before he was stopped by the police. "Sorry son but only family is aloud past here." the policeman said as he held Yuki back. But Yuki pushed on. "I need to get to Tohru. Please let me through!" The policeman pushed him back. When Yuki kept pushing through, he called over backup. Seeing that he wasn't going to get anywhere, Yuki started to yell. "Tohru!" he pushed farther. "Tohru!"
Tohru still wasn't responding. The police and doctors gave up on trying to get her to talk. It was getting kind of cold so the one of the doctors put a blanket over her shoulders. That's when they heard the shouting. "Tohru!" When the sound of her name, Yuki's voice rather, she came back to her senses.
"Tohru!" Tohru blinked at the sound of her name. She heard it again. "Yuki?" she blinked again. "Yuki?" she began to look around. One of the doctors heard her and went to check on her. Seeing that she was moving and speaking, she began to look for this 'Yuki' she was speaking about. "Yuki?" Tohru yelled. She was scared. She needed help, and she wasn't going to take it from any of these strangers. "Let him in!" the doctor yelled. "She's asking for him! Let him in!"
They let Yuki in, past the tape and he sprinted toward Tohru. She saw him coming and she, too, ran.
When they met up, Tohru hugged Yuki and began crying hysterically. Yuki didn't think twice about hugging her back. He didn't even think about the curse. They sank to the ground. Yuki was rubbing her head (A/N like how people would pet/rub their heads whenever they would be sad…) and saying that it was alright.
The police came and crowded around them. When Tohru finally started to calm down, they told Yuki to take her home. Yuki picked Tohru up and carried her home. One of the policemen asked them if they want him to drive them home but Yuki turned him down. In fact, he was glad that she was in his arms. This way, he knew she would be safe.
When they got home, Tohru was asleep in Yuki's arms. Momiji ran up to them when they came through the door. "Tohru! Is she okay?" Yuki didn't respond. He went past the worried little rabbit and went upstairs. Haru watched as Yuki carried the weak looking girl up the stairs. He was worried too. He and Momiji had watched the full news cast after Yuki had left. "Don't mind him. He was probably the most worried about her. I'm sure she just needs rest." Momiji nodded
Yuki came back down stairs after a few minutes. He was still worried. "How is she?" asked Momiji. "She's ok. She's pretty worn out though." Yuki sighed. He wasn't sure how she was going to be when she woke up. He just knew that he had to be strong. Hatsuharu broke the silence. "I think we should be leaving." Momiji looked up at him. "No, I wanna stay here in case Tohru wakes up." Haru gave Momiji a glare and he shut up. They said their goodbyes and left.
Yuki went back upstairs to check on Tohru. When he got in her room she was tossing. He felt helpless. He didn't know what to do for her. He stayed with her till she stopped and laid peacefully. It was about 11pm when he got to his room and went to sleep. He woke up when he heard screaming. Yuki jumped out of bed and to Tohru's room. She was holding her head and screaming, but she didn't seem awake. Yuki ran over to Tohru's bed and shook her gently. "Tohru, Tohru wake up!" he said in a loud but soft voice. "Tohru!" She woke up, sat up and started crying. Yuki sat with her on her bed and hugged her until she stopped crying. When she did, he kissed her forehead and laid her back down on her bed.
He told her that he'd be in his room if she needed him. Yuki got up and started to walk towards the door only to be stopped by a hand holding him back. He looked back and saw Tohru holding his arm so he wouldn't leave. "Please don't go…" Tohru said with sad pleading eyes. Yuki gave her a small smile and pulled up the blanket and laid beside her. She snuggled close to him and drifted off to sleep. Yuki didn't mind when Tohru got closer to him. He responded by wrapping his arms around her and he, too, soon drifted away into dreamland.
I dont think i would be able to handle seeing someone like freshly dead. I think this was a pretty good chapter. Alot of things are going to change.
I might start another Fruits Basket story. It most likely will have the Yuki and Tohru couple. I L ve them. so yeah.
Oh, I almost forgot. I'm looking for a cowritter for this story so if you're interested, send me a PM telling me that you are interested and put a little excerpt on what the next chapter should be like. I will wait until i get a couple of entries to choose the winner. Good luck and thanks for reading.
