Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Can I sleep with you tonight? ❯ She was the first? ( Chapter 6 )
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 6 at last ^_^ I really hope you've been enjoying the fic so far, cause I've been enjoying writing it. Chapter 7 is completely finished so you will be getting a two for one deal on this chapter ^_^ lucky you. Also, I wanted to thank you all for the 37 reviews that I have now (on all 3 places I have the fic posted on) I've never had that many before. Well I think that's about all I have to say this time so....
Note to...
Anah Midale : Arigatou for that. I've never had anyone say that about my writing so I feel very honored ^_^
Yellowrosesinateacup : Yeah... it could and will be bad. BTW I love your SN ^_^
HarryPotterSweetie : I prefer Yuki & Tohru just in case you missed that hehe ^_^ yea I would never use words in Japanese that I didn't tell you what they meant... except forgetting to put Ohayo in the first couple chapters' dictionaries... but that's ok. I believe Momiji would do exactly what I had him do in the fic too, and Tohru undoubtedly would have shared her bed with Yuki. Arigatou for the longest review I've ever had and BTW please in Japanese is Onegai.
On to the chapter
Chapter 6 : She was the first?
"First years may address Yuki as Prince Sohma Yuki," could be heard behind one particular door, followed by a few high pitched girly voices saying, "Prince Sohma Yuki."
"Second years, Prince Yuki," one girl in particular, with long brown hair and two pink ribbons on either side called out, as if to be leading some sort of meeting. She stood in front of the class room, but she was no teacher, she was the girl who would , even if she had to die to do it, break Honda Tohru and Sohma Yuki up, for the sake of all the girls in the school.
"Prince Yuki," a few girls called back.
"Third years, Yuki."
"Yuki."
"What is our purpose?"
"To protect Prince Yuki at any cost, from anything or anybody."
"Hai!" Motoko said, as if realizing something for the first time, "We must protect Prince Yuki at any cost, from everybody. Namely Honda Tohru."
"Hai!" the rest of the girls shouted in unison.
"Does any one have any ideas?"
"We could try to kill her," Mio suggested, grabbing the girl's arm next to her, as if it were Tohru's throat, trying to strangle it, shaking it back and forth as she did.
"Ow!," the girl said, smacking Mio upside the head to snap her back into reality, "Remember, Electric girl and that yankee are her friends... we won't be able to do anything to her while they are with her. Try to think a little from now on," she said flicking her on the forehead for good measure.
"Hai, but we could make it look like Tohru has been unfaithful. That would work and neither of them could say a thing about it."
"True, but I don't think that Yuki would think that she would be going out with another guy."
"What about another girl?" another first year piped in.
"Be realistic," Mio yelled back, "At least mine made sense."
Motoko had been sitting at the front the entire meeting, just listening to all of the suggestions, none of them were of any particular interest to her though. She had, in fact, been toying with a plan in her head ever since she had found out about the relationship between her amai Yuki and that... that... bitch, for the lack of a better word.
"Girls, listen onegai," she began but as the arguing continued, she yelled, "Girls! Shizuka ni!"
"Gomen," a few girls said in return.
"Hai, well I do have a plan... but it will require a lot of effort from everyone of you to pull it off."
"Hai, we will do our best," Mio said, standing up, her hands over her heart.
"Your best is not enough! You all must do better than best."
"Hai Motoko-sama!" she yelped, bowing to her.
"I think that the only way to truly get Tohru-chan to leave Yuki alone is to make her disappear. For good."
Just as she was about to elaborate, the door to the classroom swung open, revealing the same teacher that always seemed to find them, even though they had changed meeting locations quite a few times since he had started working there.
"You girls again. You need to leave now or I will be forced to call security," he said as if overjoyed at the thought of punishing students for being at the school after school hours.
As they began to file out, Motoko stayed a bit longer, absorbed in her thoughts.
'I will get even, Honda Tohru. You will regret the day you ever set eyes on my Yuki.'
----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------
Walking into school the next morning, she didn't feel as if she belonged anymore. She felt somehow older, more mature than the all the other girls in her class even though she had been one most immature in the bunch.... well maybe not immature but at least one of the most innocent to the way the world worked.
Now she couldn't say that. She had lost her innocence, but she didn't regret it. The look on Yuki's face when she had offered had been priceless. She still couldn't help but giggle whenever she thought about it. The deer in headlights look on his face made him look so cute.
Giggling to herself, she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around she saw Uo, apparently with something to say by the expression she held.
"Where have you been? I tried calling you yesterday, but no one answered," her voice held a bit of resentment.
"Oh! Gomen! I forgot didn't I," she said lightly rapping on her forehead, "It was Yuki-kun's birthday yesterday. I meant to invite you, I truly did. But it slipped my mind."
"Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about something. So you're going to come with me today after school, ne?"
"Hai," she said, thinking she had no choice other than to go, otherwise she would have been thrown over her shoulder and brought to where ever she had wanted to go anyway.
"Ohayo Tohru-chan, Uo-chan," Hana said as she walked toward the pair, "I couldn't help but overhear," blue electric sparks coming from her, "But, if all possible, I would like to also talk to Tohru-chan so I offer we go to my house after school."
"Hai, I agree. With two of us there we'll get more out of her," Uo smiled back at Hana for the great suggestion.
While managing a smile of her own, Tohru couldn't help but sigh, 'My friends are truly manipulative people.'
--------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
As she walked to her locker, she couldn't help but feel trapped. She had promised Yuki that she would walk home with him today, but Uo and Hana had basically told her that she was going with them to Hana's house to have a talk about Kami knows what.
Opening her locker, she saw a note inside.
Opening it, she read out loud, "Stay away from Yuki. You'll suffer if you do not."
Although the letter had sounded like one Akito would have written, she highly doubted it was from him, partly because just before Yuki's name there was an eraser mark where someone had originally written prince, and if she had not noticed that, the I's had been dotted with hearts. Balling the note up into a small ball, she took a shot at trying to make a basket in the nearest trash can. To her surprise, she made it.
Throwing her arms up in the air, she danced around in place saying, "Yay, I got it!"
"Shigoto ii, Tohru-chan," announced a voice from behind her.
Turning around, slightly embarrassed, she knew who the voice belonged to.
"K..konnichi wa Yuki-kun," her face still a bit crimson where she had not yet time to recover from the embarrassment of being caught.
"Konnichi wa," he said back, a warm smile caressing his face, "Are you ready to go?"
"Hai... oh! Dame but I have to go with."
"Tohru!!! Say Ja ne to the Prince, it's time to go," Uo yelled from the other side of the lockers as she walked toward them.
"I...I have to go with Uo-chan to Hana-chan's house today," she said, stressing the word have.
"Hai, I'll see you at home tonight then."
"Hai. I should be home before dinner, so try not to get into too many fights with Kyou-kun today and wreck the house before I get home," she smiled back.
Before he was able to respond, Uo had grabbed her hand and had began to drag her toward the school gate.
"Ja ne!" he yelled to the both of them, not letting the disappointment he felt show.
------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------
"How could she?!?," Motoko nearly screamed, on her way home.
She had left class early that day just to be able to put that note in Tohru's locker, and had waited there to be able to see her reaction to the letter.
But as she opened it and read it, her face had showed no sign of apprehension, she had actually looked quite amused.
Balling the paper up she tossed it at the waste basket, making the basket, she began to dance around 'til her beloved prince had showed up.
"Yuki," Motoko dreamily sighed from her hiding spot behind the lockers.
As if the letter hadn't been enough, she had had the audacity to turn down a chance to walk home with him.
She herself would have killed to have been able to walk home with Yuki, how could this Honda Tohru be so secure in her position with him to be able to turn him down?
Thinking to herself, she began to scribble another letter, this one saying, "Honda Tohru, you do not deserve to be with Sohma Yuki. Who are you to be with him, you even turn down even the simplest things he offers you. You are a bad person and we wish you would just leave."
Slipping it into her locker, she couldn't help but feel satisfied with herself, she had just protected the Prince's honor and told Tohru off all at the same time.
------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------
It had been forever since she had been to just be able to sit down with her friends and have a talk about nothing in particular. Thankfully this had been one of those times, they had talked about everything from work to her Okaa-san to how weird they thought some of the girls are school were.
Just as she was beginning to relax, glad that the topic of conversation had not yet turned to her and Yuki, they dropped it on her.
"So Tohru-chan," Uo questioned.
"Nyo?" she answered back, cocking her head to the side as she did.
"How long have you and Yuki-kun officially been going out?"
There she said it, the real reason she had wanted to talk to Tohru, the thing that had plagued her ever since that day a week and a half ago when she had been told by Mio in the school yard.
"Um.. uh...," she stuttered, unable to think of what to say. Just the night before she and Yuki had decided to keep their relationship a secret and now here her best friend was, simply asking how long their relationship had been going on, not knowing how hard it was for her to answer.
She had known Uotani Arisa almost her entire life and could trust her with anything. She also felt the same way about Hanajima Saki. She had never kept anything from them, ever, and neither had they, so hoping that she wouldn't regret doing this she simply stated.
"About a two weeks, a week and a half maybe."
Sitting in silence for a while, Uo couldn't help but feel that same betrayal return. Her so called best friend had been going out with a guy for over a week now and she still hadn't called or talked to her about it.
"Why the hell didn't you tell us about it?"
"Nyo? Uh...," she didn't know what to say. Had she really been so caught up in breaking the curse that she had forgotten to tell her best friends about herself and Yuki? To be honest she hadn't really seen her friends, save for school, very much since she had started living with the Sohmas and their secret.
"Uo-chan calm down, I believe that Tohru probably has a good reason for not telling us."
"Hai!," she yelped, thankful that Hana was there. Hana had always been there for her, like she could read her thoughts and decided to try and save her from having to say what was on her mind.
"Well I know you have new best friends, but we would have at least liked to know that you and the Prince had started going out from you. Bad enough we had to find out from one of the Fan club girls, you didn't even try to tell us."
"Gomen," she whispered, looking at the floor. She had truly been a bad friend, she had almost completely left the both of them out of her life ever since she had lost her Okaa-san. Not intentionally, but still, she had.
"I didn't even realize that I had left you guys out of so much," she said nearly in tears, "Gomenasai."
"Tohru..." Hana sympathized with her, and now she had felt bad herself. She had known what Uo had wanted to talk to Tohru about, and thinking it was a good idea that they talk about it, to clear the air in a way, had offered her house. But what she had not known was how Tohru would react. She had thought that she would smile and play it off as it just slipping her mind, never in her wildest dreams has she thought that Tohru would be sitting her on her floor on the verge of tears.
"Hai..." she started to say, although the words were not very clear, "I have found new friends with the Sohmas....demo....demo both Hana-chan and Uo-chan are still my best friends!" she finished saying as she broke down, unable to contain the tears that had threatened to break free.
Getting up, she couldn't help but feel bad for the way she had treated Tohru. Sure she didn't tell them about Yuki but by the way she had hesitated, neither had she told anyone else.
"It's ok, we forgive you," Uo said, stealing a glance at Hana, who silently nodded. Wrapping her arms around Tohru, she felt like a mother comforting a child, just like the way Kyoko-okaasan had done for her all those times when she herself had needed comfort.
Before what Uo had said to her could be fully comprehended, another set of arms wrapped around her, with the voice of her other friend saying to her ,"Hai, we forgive you."
She felt safe, she felt loved, and she couldn't have asked for better friends.
--------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
After a while, long after Tohru's tears had subsided, they now once again sat around Hana's table talking about many different things, but with one difference. Everything asked or said now was about herself and Yuki.
"So have you went out on a date yet?" Uo asked, eager to catch up on what she had missed in the last two weeks .
"Dame, not yet." she blushed, not yet used to talking about such personal matters with others, save for Yuki, "We were actually going to go one our first date today...." she said sounding a little disappointed.
"Oh, well maybe tomorrow then," Hana said, trying to cheer the depressed looking Tohru up.
"Hai, maybe tomorrow..." she said, while thinking, 'It'll have to be soon. Shigure's about finished with his new book and he may get suspicious.'
"What's on your mind?" Uo asked, seeing Tohru with a far off look in her eyes.
"Oh! No..nothing," she sounded a bit surprised, not realizing that she had been zoning out.
"You know you could never lie to me, tell me the truth."
"Well... " she didn't know if she should but she was dying to tell someone, she hadn't been able to tell anyone about her relationship with Yuki, and now people she trusted were asking her about it and she couldn't resist the urge to tell them all about it.
"Well, you see," she began, as if she were telling a story, "Yuki's family... well not everyone, but certain people in his family don't want us to be together. So instead of having them find out and them trying to break us up, we've decided to pretend that we aren't together at all. Shigure-san may know, but everyone else is clueless."
"So what you are saying is, is that because of some messed up people in his family who don't want you two together you have to keep your relationship a secret?"
"Hai," she said, hoping they would not press the matter any further.
"That's just sad. At least Shigure-san seems to be ok with it."
"Hai, well the only reason he knows is because I had to ask him for help so I could give Yuki his birthday gift."
'What am I doing?!?' she thought as soon as she had finished what she was saying, 'If they ask what his birthday gift was, what am I supposed to say. Oh I slept with him so I could break him from the curse that's been plaguing his family for Kami knows how long.'
"What did you get him?" Hana innocently asked.
She felt a wave of nausea pass over her as she realized that now, not only would she have told them that she and Yuki were still going out, but that now she would have to tell them that they had slept together as well.
"Tohru-chan daijobou?" Uo said, noticing that her friend looked quite pale.
"Hai... I'm ok," she said, feeling quite dizzy.
"I think you should lie down for a moment," Hana said, as she handed her a pillow.
"Arigatou Hana-chan," Tohru took the pillow and laid down for a bit until the dizziness subsided and the nausea went away
Sitting back up, she hoped they had forgotten what they were talking about earlier.
But just her luck, Uo, now sure that her friend would be alright, asked, "So... what did you get him?"
Unable to hold back any longer, the deepest blush ever crossed her face as she whispered, "I gave.... gave him... myself."
"Nani!" the drink Uo had been sipping had crashed to the floor as she jumped up, not believing what she had just heard.
"She said that she gave herself to him," Hana stated flatly, unfazed by Tohru's confession.
"Demo, itsu? Doyatte?!?" Uo's voice raising with each word that passed her lips, "Did he force you? He did, didn't he? Kare wa doko ni imasu ka? I'll kill him."
"D..dame! Dame it's not like that," the line between reason and instinct had been crossed, she knew that. So, although she would have rather not put it so bluntly, she said the only thing that would save Yuki from some beating, "I...I offered."
"Nyo?" Uo said, dropping the pillow that she had been strangling, the one that she had imagined was Yuki, "Ne?"
"Hai" her voice trailing off before she had even finished the word, the blush once again appearing on her face.
Plopping back down on the floor, she was stunned. She had always thought that she would be the first in the group to loss her innocence, maybe even Hana, but never had she thought it would be Tohru. What surprised her even more was the fact that Tohru had offered.
"People often say that temptation is fun, but when you give it's even better," Hana said, unable to restrain herself.
It served its purpose though. It snapped Uo out of her thoughts and Tohru once again began to fidget, the blush still remaining on her face.
"So how was it?" Hana asked. Being a virgin herself, she had often wondered what it would be like to make love with a man. Now, her best friend had done, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Uh...I won't lie. I...it...it hurt a lot at."
"Nani! He hurt you?" Uo said, still on the edge of losing it.
"Let Tohru-chan finish," Hana was truly the voice of reason today, and for that Tohru truly thanked Kami that she was there.
"He was gentle with me," she said while thinking, 'How could she imagine that he would have been anything else.'
"Humph," was all she heard come from Uo and took it as a sign that she could continue.
"It hurt to begin with, demo...after a little while... it was... wow," was all she could say, unable to describe how good it had felt to be able to share herself with Yuki, how loved she had felt afterward when they had simply cuddled together 'til morning.
"It was his first time as well, ne?" Hana asked, obviously very curious about the subject.
"Hai," a goofy smile spread across her face as she said this.
'I'm glad I was his first, it makes it even more special,' she thought without a care in the world.
Looking at the goofy grin on her friend's face, a question formed in her head. Although she knew her friend was not the smartest person in the world, but one thing she did know was that Tohru knew what could happen if a person had sex unprotected.
"So..." Uo began, hoping her friend had had enough common sense to do so, "Did you use a protection?"
Turning her head toward her friend, the grin seemed to fade as the weight of the world crashed down upon her, as well as the potential consequences, as she remembered the small bag she had placed in her drawer the day prior that she had completely forgotten about until now.
