Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ A Doctors Love ❯ The Third of the Flower Trio Arrives and Hatori Makes a Choice. ( Chapter 3 )

AN: Sorry it took me so long, to update this story I haven't had a lot of time to post. I hope you like this one it took some time to actually get started on it. I'm so sorry. I might start using more Japanese words because I'm in a Japanese class so sometimes I use Japanese words for every day use. But if I do use Japanese words I will put a word bank at the bottom of the page. Thanks for reading and reviewing. Now on to the story.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Fruits Basket, if I did I would turn this into an anime and you could all watch it. Hehehe. Sorry.

The Third of the Flower Trio Arrives and Hatori Makes a Choice

All Hatori saw was Jasmine fall down. "Jasmine" was all Hatori said as he jumped out of the car and ran over to her. "Jasmine, wake up come on wake up." When he realized she had fainted he carefully picked her up and placed her on the back seat of his car. When he got home he carefully placed her on the couch and covered her up, he than left the living room to get some tea started. When Jasmine woke up she didn't really know where she was, never really seeing the living room before it freaked her out a little bit. "Where am I, what happened, how did I get here." She asked herself out loud. "Your in my living room, we were going to your house and when we got there you got out of the car you saw your apartment building in flames and you fainted. I saw you fall down and thought you had gotten hurt and I brought you here." Hatori said with a cup of tea. "Here this will make you feel better," handing her the cup. "How the hell is tea going to make everything all better Hatori I lost everything my house, my clothes, everything I don't have much money to buy new clothes and find an apartment," by this time Jasmine was pacing back and forth. "And I don't see how tea is going to make me feel better." Hatori had no idea what to do. "Well sit and calm down while I call Shigure he might know what to do." Hatori said as he put the cup of tea into Jasmine's hands. "Sit down, don't make me go doctor on you" with that he left to his office to use the phone.

"Moshi Moshi, Tohru speaking" "Hello Tohru how are you doing?" "Oh hello Hatori, I'm fine do you wish to speak to Shigure." "Actually Tohru I would, could you put him on the phone please." "Yes hold on while I go and get him," Tohru put the phone down. It was quiet for a couple of minutes but that all ended when Shigure picked up the phone. "Ha'ri are you having a little bit of trouble? Are you afraid of transforming? The best way to do it is *Bang* Kyou that hurt why did you do that? Anyway why did you call me Ha'ri" Shigure asked as he rubbed the back of his head. "Can you and Tohru come over I think I know someone that use Tohru's help." "Hold on Ha'ri let me ask her" again Hatori was put on hold. "We'll be there in about 45 minutes she has to put the clothes out first." "Okay I'll see you then." With that Hatori hung up. "Hatori do you have anything I can wear, oh may I use your tub?" Jasmine asked as she came into his office both hands working away at the pins holding her hair up in the bun. "Yeah you may take a bath and let me see if I have anything you can wear." Hatori said as he got up to go to his closet in his room. "This might work" he said to himself. He came out and handed Jasmine a beautiful emerald coloured Kimono. "Hatori are you sure this is so pretty." Jasmine asked with amazed eyes. "Yeah I'm sure, and you will look beautiful in it." Hatori said. "Thanks Sohma" Jasmine said with a wink and went into the bathroom.

Hatori let out a sigh and went into the living room to watch the news until Shigure and Tohru would arrive. Most of the coverage was about the apartment fire. It was started when some college students decided that their text books were meant to be burned instead of used for studying and left them to burn and went out to get more beer. "Damn" was all Hatori could say about the whole thing. Then he realized he hadn't smoked all day and he was starting to crave it. He went outside and sat down and lit his cigarette.

Ten minutes later he saw Shigure and Tohru walking to his house. "Hey Ha'ri "Shigure said as he Hatori came into view. "So Ha'ri what's the emergency." He asked with a little bit of concern. "Hatori did you see that fire it scared me, I don't know what I would do if I lived there." Tohru said as she finally caught up to Shigure. "Well actually that's why I called you guys here, " Hatori said "My new assistant was a resident there and now she has no place to go and nothing left." "That's terrible." Tohru said as she sat down next to Hatori. "That's why I wanted you to come over Tohru she's really upset about it, and I was hoping you would talk to her." Hatori said as he lit another cigarette. "Yeah I can do that," Tohru said "There is one more thing… she's pregnant." Hatori said taking a deep breathe. "Well I'll go talk to her," Tohru said as she took her shoes off and went into the house. "You guys shouldn't stay out there too long or you'll get sick "came Jasmine as she went to the door. Kimono on but not tied. "Hatori I need a little bit of help" "Okay turn around." Hatori said handing the cigarette to Shigure who started smoking that one. Jasmine didn't pull her hair up so it was in the way a little bit so Hatori carefully moved it out of the way and put it on her shoulder. But his hand lingered too long on her neck and she started to giggle. "Ha'ri stop it tickles." As she did this she turned around and faced Shigure. "Jas is that you?" Shigure asked finally getting a good look at her face. "Yeah Shigure It' really me" Jasmine said as she went back into the house.

"Hello I'm Tohru Honda" Tohru said putting out her hand, Jasmine took it and shook it "I'm Jasmine." "I heard what happened do you want to talk about it," Tohru asked. "There really isn't anything to talk about" Jasmine said. "How do you feel about what happened is what I wanted to know about" Tohru said. Out on the porch the guys were having their own conversation. "So you're telling me you want her to live with you until she has the baby and enough money to get her own house" Shigure said as he thought about it. "Ha'ri where would she sleep you only have one bed" "Actually Shigure I have two you just have never seen the other one." Hatori said looking up at the stars. "And why is that Hatori are you too embarrassed what do you have in there naughty things that you don't want your best friend to see." Shigure said looking a bit hurt and bright eyes. "No, actually the only person I have ever shown was Kana because she would sleep in there if we worked late." Hatori said as Jasmine came out to let them know that tea was up.

Her eyes were swollen, which was to prove she was crying. "Tohru I think we should go, the boys will be looking for something to eat soon" Shigure said standing up from the table. "Okay Shigure, oh Hatori here it's been a year since we meet so I brought you a little gift" Tohru said handing Hatori a small box. "I know it's small, but I thought of you when I saw it I thought you would like it." Hatori opened it out and pulled out a pen with his name on it and the Japanese symbol for dragon. "Well thank you Tohru I really like it, I to have a gift for you" Hatori said " I got Akito to let you go to the Sohma family News Years party" "Wow Hatori do you mean it, I can't go I'm not part of the family I don't want to intrude." Tohru said. "I think the boys already think you are part of the family" Hatori said. Tohru couldn't control it any longer she went up to Hatori and gave him a hug. *POOF* "I'm so sorry Hatori I forgot" Tohru said all ready beginning to panic. "Tohru, hun if I were you I would turn around he doesn't hold this form long" Jasmine said preparing his clothes. No sooner had Tohru turned around a big POOF was heard. A few moments later Hatori was mostly dressed deciding he didn't want to wear the vest and tie anymore.

"It's fine Tohru" he said. "Jasmine I didn't know you knew about the curse" Shigure said. "You and your novelist memory remember senior year the three of you came around the corner at the same time I was coming out of the girls locker room and you and Hatori ran into me and yeah" Jasmine said. "Well now I remember" Shigure said as he put on his coat. "Oh and Jas come over to my house when ever you want okay" he said and placed his hand on her stomach. "Now take good care of your self and the little one, Tohru are you ready." "Yeah lets go Shigure I'm sure Kyou and Yuki are wondering where we are at" Tohru said as she put on her shoes. "Bye everyone" The Two left without another word.

It was already way past dark before Hatori got enough strength to ask Jasmine to stay with him. "Hatori I'm not sure I can do that it would be too much work for you" she told him. "If it would be too much work for me I wouldn't have asked you to stay now would I" Hatori stated as he went to the fridge. "Okay I'll stay, but as soon as I can I'll move out" Jasmine said "Ha'ri let me cook okay it's my job as a guest to cook." Hatori got out of the way and Jasmine started cooking. 45 minutes later she placed a hot dinner on the table with hot tea. Hatori came in from his off rubbing his head. "Paperwork" Jasmine asked as she started to serve the rice. "Yeah but I also could be hungry" Hatori answered as he sat down at the table and said his prayer, breaking his chop sticks. "Hatori do you want me to sleep on the couch tonight" Jasmine asked. "No I have a guest room you can sleep in and I'll set out one of my button up shirts for you to wear to bed" Hatori said as he served himself a second helping of rice. "Okay well when you are done with dinner I think you should go and take a nice hot bath to relax while I do the dishes" Jasmine said as she got up to take her plate and tea cup to the kitchen. Hatori soon finished his dinner and cleared off the table. "Jasmine I have to admit that was really good, it's been so long since I had a home cooked meal like that" Hatori said and went into the bathroom to take a long deserved relaxing bath.
