Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Can I sleep with you tonight? ❯ Forgotten ( Chapter 5 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or any characters associated with the anime/manga. Although I do own all four Dvds *wah* The anime was good but it was never finished :'( *wah*

Author's Note: Chapter 5 already ^_^ I'm still sorta stuck on what to do next but I still have a few ideas left for this chapter ^_^ Arigatou Kami-sama, Ne? This chapter is just Yuki and Tohru talking about how the curse was broken.

IMPORTANT NOTE : It has come to my attention that some people think the Tohru has broken the curse for all of the Soumas... well in my story that is not the case. Yuki is the only one who has had the curse lifted from him, all of the others still are part of the curse. In order for the curse to be lifted from the person they have to find true love themselves and "share of themselves" with them. So in other words... they have to make love with their true love in order for the curse to be lifted from them.

On to the chapter

Chapter 5 : Forgotten

Waking up in a cold sweat, he felt as if he couldn't breathe. The weight of the curse had never felt as strong either.

Akito knew something had changed, although he didn't know what.

------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------

He still couldn't believe that what had just transpired had really happened. Never in a million years would he have imagined Tohru, sweet innocent... well maybe not so innocent Tohru, seducing him. All he really was able to say to her afterward was a simple wow. He also now understood why Shigure was such a hentai.

The only thing that would have made this night better would have been if he could have held her in his arms, even if only for a moment. He knew it wasn't possible but still, he could still dream.

Her ragged breathing was now becoming normal as she recovered from their recent activities.

"Tohru," he started to say, beginning to turn over onto his side, but was stopped when she grabbed his hand and pulled him to her.

"Matte!" he yelped, just as their chests touched, knowing that if he were to transform it would ruin the moment. But for the first time in his life though, something had actually went right. There was no resounding Pouf, no nezumi, no change at all.

He sat wide eyed for a moment, not sure if he had fallen asleep and was dreaming or if this was real.

"Shiawase na tanjobi," she whispered in his ear, not yet willing to let him go.

This was their first true hug. To others, it may have seemed like nothing compared to the other things they had done together, but to him, it meant the world. Just being able to be free to hold her whenever he wanted was the best present he had ever received. He didn't know who to thank for this dream come true, but right now it didn't matter. All that mattered was that he was able to hold her, the rest would come later.

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

When they finally were able to let go of one another, he looked at her.

What shown in his eyes was the love she knew was reflected back to him in her own. There was also an unmistakable joy hidden deep within.

"I'm glad it worked," she stated, silently thanking Kami for the birthday miracle he had allowed to happen for Yuki.

"Nani?" he said, not knowing if he heard her correctly.

"I said I was glad it worked."

"Doyatte," he began to ask, but as she rose from the bed, wrapping the blanket around her as she did, his words were left forgotten as he too rose to follow her.

Opening the top drawer to her dresser, while moving the neatly folded clothes to the side, she grabbed what looked like to be a few sheets of old, badly worn paper.

Handing them to him, she watched him as he unfolded them and began to read. Nearly halfway down the page on the top, realization swept across his face. She had given him so much already, and now she had given herself to him in order to free him from the curse that had plagued him his entire life. Looking up at her, he couldn't contain the tears that had come into his eyes.

Reaching her hand up, she caressed his cheek and wiped away the tears that had begun to stream down his face.

"Aishiteru Yuki-kun," she whispered to him as he pulled her into another embrace.

"Aishiteru Tohru-chan," he said, but after a moment added, "Zutto."

--------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

After a quite a while, they had began to talk about how she had come upon those papers.

"I found them in Akito's private library when you were talking with him," she slyly smiled.

"Nani?" looking back at her, with a smile of his own.

"Well... I wasn't supposed to be in there. I knew that but I was so bored."

"Where is the rest of the book?"

"I hid it under a stack of books while I was still in there. I was planning on taking the whole book with me, demo I heard someone coming and panicked. Thank Kami-sama it was only Hatori-san."

"So does he know you have them?"

"I think he may know I have something, but he wouldn't know what it was. He's never been in the library either. No one has."

"Hai, I remember I was never allowed in there when I lived at the main house. That bastard Akito probably hid the book in there and just wanted to keep everyone away from it so they would have to live in misery for the rest of their lives."

"Hai," she said, taking the papers he was now unconsciously crumpling in his hands as he became more and more upset with how Akito was trying to make everyone miserable, "Demo..." she said, trailing off.

"Nani?" he said, trying to get her to finish what she had been saying.

"I don't think we should tell anyone about this. Kami-sama knows how Akito will react if he finds out that you are freed from the curse."

"I don't care what the hell he thinks," he said, nearly yelling and reminding her strongly of Kyou.

Grabbing his hand, she tried to calm him by tracing circles on his palm.

"I do. He's still the head of the family, so you still have to do what he says. Yuki," she said, now looking him in the eye, 'Onegai, if you love me, you'll act like you don't."

"Nani! Dem," he said as what she said hit him full force, but was silenced as she began to speak.

"If Akito finds out he will break us apart one way or another. This way we won't have to be apart. We just act like nothing has changed between us for the others and everything will be fine."

"You mean just act like we are still just friends for the others and still be together in secret?"

"Hai."

"Tohru-koi, I think that is a brilliant plan. When did you get so smart?"

"It's all thanks to you, you are the one who tutors me," she said smiling at him, "But we have to make sure no one finds these," she said, holding the papers up.

Going back to the drawer where she had originally hidden them, she moved the clothes once again to once again hide them away from everyone.

Moving the clothes to cover them, she couldn't help but notice the clothes that she had moved numerous times now had become quite wrinkled.

Thinking to herself, she thought, 'I'll need to iron them later."

But what she had failed to notice was the little brown bag that sat in the back corner of the drawer, never opened and forgotten.

AN : Sorry for such a short chapter, but I had this idea and decided to make it into a short chapter . The next chapter will be really important for the story line and may take a little while to get out, seeing as I have to include Hana and Uo. But I found the best quote yesterday that I’m going to add in. “Temptation is fun, but giving in is even better.” I hope that gives you a hint to as what they will be talking about ^_^. R&R Ja ne!
