Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Blanket of Fear ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Okay. I just wanted to answer a question. I don’t know if that is what really happens when someone looses a baby. I asked a friend how long it takes and I know that it doesn’t take very long at all so that is pretty much it. I made up the rest of it so don’t take my words seriously. Sorry it was so short but I got really depressed while writing it and also, like I said, I’m not exactly sure what happens so please bear with me. Sorry and thanks to everyone for reviewing,
After Shigure, Yuki, and Kyo came home and noticed that Tohru wasn’t there, they got curious.
“The note we left isn’t here so we know that she found it,” Yuki stated, starting to get worried.
“I’ll call Uo and Hana to see if she went over to one of their houses,” he continued, grabbing the nearest phone book. Kyo, meanwhile, had gone into the kitchen to look for clues. He could hear Yuki in the living room.
“Hello, Uo? This is Yuki Sohma. I was wondering if Hana was with you, I called her house and she wasn’t there. Yes!... Have either of you seen Miss Honda?...” It was at this moment Kyo spotted a piece of paper laying on the counter, written on the paper was a note in Tohru’s neat handwriting. It read…
Dear Shigure, Yuki, and Kyo,
By the time you read this letter I will be dead. I don’t want to burden you with why I did it, but I will tell you that my body is near the place where I originally pitched my tent. Thank you all for what you’ve done and I will be forever grateful. Tell everybody I said sorry and thank you fir me. And don’t worry about me, I am happy now!
“What! No! Tohru! ” Kyo yelled before running out the door, dropping the note by Yuki. Yuki read the note and he too was out the door. Shigure walked over and read the note, getting paler and paler as each word sunk in. He shakily picked up the phone to relay the message to Uo and Hana.
“Hello, Uo?...This is Shigure…Toh-. Tohru has left us a note stating that she has killed herself…Yes…Yuki and Kyo have gone to get her…Please feel free to come over and wait.” With that he hung up the phone and collapsed onto the couch.
Minutes later…
There was a sharp knock on the door and it slid open to reveal a very frightened Uo and Hana. They ran in and stood in front of Shigure (who had by this time regained something of his composure.)
“Where is she?” Uo yelled.
“They haven’t returned yet. But I’ve called Hatori over. He’s the family doctor.” Right on cue hatori raced into the house.
“What happened? You said it was an emergency and hung up.” Shigure looked at him with sorrowful eyes.
“I’m afraid…Tohru’s committed suicide. Yuki and Kyo are looking for her as we speak.
“What?” Shigure handed him the note and Hatori read it with Uo and Hana peeking at it as well. He dropped the note shortly after they collapsed in shock.
Kyo ran full speed for five minutes before realizing he had no idea where her tent had been. He stopped and was immediately passed by Yuki.
“Hurry! This way!” he Yelled, and Kyo immediately followed. After a short distance they reached a large mound of dirt.
“This is-where-Miss Honda’s-tent- used to be,” Yuki gasped as he tried to breathe. Kyo nodded and began his search. He went around a tree and saw Tohru laying against it gashes along her arms and blood staining her clothes and polling around her. Even though her eyes were still wide open, they were glazed over and he could see the remnants of tears on her face, as well as a faint smile on her mouth. He choked back his tears but a strangled sob still escaped his throat. He bent and checked her pulse and was relieved to feel it, even though it was incredibly faint. He picked her up and carried her back to the house. While he was walking he called Yuki.
“I found her!!” Yuki was there almost immediately.
“Oh no…” he muttered, leaning against a tree for support. Kyo turned and ran for the house followed by Yuki.
Tohru felt herself sag against the tree as she drifted in and out of consciousness. Finally, I get to be with mom again. I’m sorry everyone…Kyo…I love you. Her mind became fuzzier as she began to drift into unconsciousness again when she saw Kyo. No. You weren’t supposed to come so soon… Then she blacked out again. Next thing she knew she heard a voice.
“Tohru…Please be okay. I don’t know what I’d do if Ilost you. You can’t die. I love you.” She thought she felt a hand take hers.
“Tohru…the voice said softly before the person broke down into quiet sobs. She furrowed her eyebrows as she tried to recognize the voice. All she could tell was that the voice belonged to a male and although she couldn’t place it it still filled her with warmth. Frustrated, she went to sit up but all she could do was let out a louod moan of pain as her weak body refused the order.
“Tohru!!” The voice said worriedly but not without a trace of happiness.
“You’re alive! You made it! Don’t worry; I’ll get the nurse so she can give you something for the pain and to help you sleep.” She felt someone lean over her, their warmth soaking into her cold skin. They must have pushed a button because then she heard a woman’s voice.
“Yes?”
“Miss Honda is awake and in pain. Could you send someone over?”
“Yes, someone should be on their way.”
“Thank you.” The person started leaning away but Tohru somehow forced her hands up enough to grab the person’s shirt. She felt them tense and heard their breath catch.
“Please don’t leave me,” she whimpered softly. The person took her hands and pried them off of their shirt but kept a hold of them while they sat back down, slowly relinquishing one hand in the process. She heard someone enter a when the person tried pulling away she just gripped his hand tighter. She felt a needle pierce her am and a woman telling her to sleep.
‘I won’t. I won’t go anywhere.” Do they really love me? Tohru wondered as sleep began overtaking her. I wonder who it is. She forced her eyes to open and found herself looking at a soft-faced Kyo. Kyo? Kyo doesn’t love me. I must be dreaming. Yes. That’s it. I’m just asleep. She smiled and allowed herself to one again drift into unconsciousness.
Kyo watched Tohru fall asleep and when he was sure she was he tried to pull his hand out of hers. She pulled his hand closer and hugged it and mumbled something. He couldn’t hear her so he leaned in to try to discern the words.
“No…don’t hurt him…Kyo…I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.” Confused he turned to look at her face. She stopped talking and smiled. She turned her head slightly and as she did so her lips lightly brushed his and she sighed. He blushed and gave her a small kiss on the check before a look of sadness crossed his features and he removed his hand and walked out the door, pausing just enough to cast a wistful look at the sleeping girl before heading on his way.
Hope you liked that chapter! I told you things would turn around soon. I felt like putting a bit of fluff in there so I hope that turned out okay. Thank you everyone for reading it.
