Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Can I sleep with you tonight? ❯ Should we tell him? ( Chapter 8 )

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: Wow... it's been soooooo long since I last updated, sorry. I've had lots of homework and I've been working on my TCG. Well anyway Arigatou Gozaimasu to all that reviewed in the past month or so... they really inspired me to start working on this again. Also in a lot of reviews I have received, you guys are wanting to know what the family thinks about this... well.... seeing as when everyone found out that Y&T were going out, it got back to Akito and he basically threatened to erase her memories of the family and such, I'm not going to have anyone know at least for a while. Maybe in chapter 10 or so someone will find out... or maybe someone could be finding out in this chapter... who knows?? Hehe. I'm really hoping you are enjoying it so far and I look forward to talking to you guys later.

Onto the chapter

Chapter 8 : Should we tell him?

Hi, I'm Honda Tohru. I may only be seventeen but my life has been filled with things that would damper even the spirits of most adults, but not me. My Okaa-san always told me that things happen for a reason, and no matter how bad things seem, there is always a purpose for it happening. I guess when she died, that was one the times she had been talking about. But... she was right, something good did happen, I met the Sohmas. Yuki, Kyou, Shigure, and the all the others have become my family. And recently we found out that there will be a new addition to the family, mine and Yuki's baby. This may be one of those times as well.

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

He stayed with her all night, not rightfully caring what the others thought they may or may not be doing.

And although he had been shocked at first, he, after it had worn off, was the happiest guy in the world. He was free from the curse, he had the girl of his dreams, and, to top that off, he was going to be an Otou-san.

But, like so many other things in his life, there was a glitch in the plan.

Akito.

How could they possibly hope to hide that fact that Tohru was, in fact, pregnant? And if by some miracle they did manage to do so, how would they hide a baby?

But as of now, he didn't care about Akito. Well, not as much as he usually did.

Looking over at his sleeping angel, he remembered what had been said after those moments of shock and awe had worn away.

"Tohru-koi?" he asked softly, hoping she would realize that he was, in fact, happy about this.

"Hai," she dimly said, the normal lackluster in her voice gone.

"Shiawase wa watashii," he whispered as he pulled her closer to him, still unable to fathom that he was able to do so whenever he wanted, this is, if no one else was around.

"Honto ni?" her eyes, still damp from crying, seemed to sparkle in the moonlight as she looked at him, hopeful.

"Hai, honto ni," and with that, he smiled one of those smiles that he had reserved only for her.

That had been nearly five hours ago, but it had remained on his mind long after she had fallen asleep.

He was still surprised that she thought he would be mad though. After all she hadn't gotten pregnant on purpose and she hadn't done it alone, he had sort of helped in that department.

Mostly he blamed it on himself though, he was the one who should have remembered the condom. But no... he had been too entranced with her that all logical thought had been checked at the door. But now what was done was done and he couldn't go back and change what had happened. What he could do was berate himself.

"I'm such a baka!" he yelled at himself, disgusted with how stupid he had become in the face of temptation.

As he continued to yell at himself, he failed to notice that the figure beside him had begun to lose the sleep that had yet come to him.

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

As she looked around after opening her eyes, she had no clue where she was. The room was clean, stark white and it smelled of antiseptic. As she continued her investigation of the room, she saw a doctor in the corner, holding something wrapped in a blanket. Although she wasn't sure what it was, she knew that she wanted it, as if she subconsciously knew it was hers.

As if the doctor had read her thoughts, he began to walk over to her and placed the bundle in her arms. Moving the blanket, she saw the most beautiful violet eyes she had ever seen, the same eyes she had seen everyday from the day she had met Yuki.

She couldn't help but think to herself, 'I've never seen anything so perfect in my entire life.'

As the door opened, she thought she saw out of the corner of her eye someone enter the room.

'It must be Yuki,' she thought, waving off the feeling of dread and continued to stare at the tiny creature in her arms.

As the figure neared though, an extreme feeling of fear washed over her. Pulling the baby closer to her chest, she looked up at the person nearly hovering over them.

She had always thought Akito and Yuki had looked alike. As she stared into his anger filled eyes, she realized how wrong she had been. His whole image seemed to exude evil, where as Yuki would never be associated with nothing other than his princely exterior.

Finally speaking, he nearly growled at her, "I told you before, Yuki is mine. You took part of him away from me and you must give it back," with his final evil word, he snatched the baby out of her grasp and proceeded to walk toward the window on the other side of the room.

She felt as if she couldn't move. Her arms and legs felt like jelly as she tried to stand. As she fell to the floor all she could do was watch in horror as he slid open the window. Outside the door, she could hear people banging on it trying to get in, along with a muffled shout from someone sounding a lot like Yuki.

As Akito held the baby out to examine it, he snarled seeing Tohru in it.

She continued to watch helplessly as her child was being dangled out of a window. Crying, she couldn't look anymore, as her eyes began to fill with tears and obscure her vision.

Yuki's shouts also became louder, she could almost make them out now. The banging became louder and finally she heard the door come crashing down as Haru, Kyou, Shigure, and Yuki came rushing in.

In that moment, she thought all would be ok as the Sohma men all ran towards Akito in hopes of saving the baby, but she had been wrong. In the last second before Kyou reached him, he dropped the baby. Hearing a wail, she knew that it would never survive the fall. Breaking down into tears, she completely collapsed on the floor, while Yuki keep shouting over and over again, "I'm such a baka!!"

As she bolted upright, tears streaming down her face, she looked around, slightly relieved to see nothing of the nightmarish room she had just been in.

Startled, Yuki looked at her with concern, unsure of what had just happened.

Throwing herself onto him, she grabbed his shirt and buried her face in it, unable to stop crying.

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

"So exactly what happened?" he asked, still clueless as to what had made her act like that.

Still clinging to Yuki as if he were her only lifeline, she managed to choke out, "It was a nightmare. Akito took the baby and threw it out the window,"

As the dream replayed in her mind, fear overtook her, and she began to shiver, uncontrollably so.

He didn't really know what to say. She seemed so upset over a dream. What could he do to comfort her?

After a while of the only sounds in the room being that of Tohru, he did the only thing that he could think of.

Pulling her onto his lap, he rocked her, as if she were a child in need of comfort from a bad dream. He didn't really know where he had learned the skill, seeing as his childhood was spent with the cold hearted Akito, but it seemed to be helping.

She was the first to speak, after some time had passed.

"You know... the baby had your eyes," she said, trying to focus on the good aspects of the dream, "I hope that this little guy or girl has them too," wrapping her arms around her still flat stomach, while blushing at the boldness of her comment.

Although she had been a seductress nearly a month ago, she had reverted back to the old timid Tohru almost immediately. But now, she did seem to be a little more open to saying things that were on her mind.

"I think the baby would look better with your eyes," he said as he ran his fingers through her hair, the strands feeling like silk as they slipped through them.

'If she wants to change the subject, then so be it,' he thought to himself as she snuggled closer to him.

"Dame, Yuki's are much better than my plain blue ones," she said, allowing the insecurity about her appearance to show.

"Well... the baby can have my eyes if everything else about it looks like you, hai?" he said, chuckling lightly at the surprised expression on her face.

'She can be so kawaii sometimes,' he thought, trying to listen to what she saying and resist the urge to kiss her all at the same time.

"Demo Yuki-kun..." but words failed her as he began to close the distance between the two of them.

Each kiss they had shared had always been soft and gentle. This one was no different. But this kiss held in it reassurance that he wouldn't let anything happen to her or the baby... and that he thought she was the most beautiful person in the world.

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

They sat in silence for a while. This wasn't an awkward silence though, this was where no words need be spoken, being with the other was merely enough.

Seeing out of the corner of her eye that he was about to fall asleep, she turned to look at him.

Looking back at her, he knew she had something on her mind. "Doushita no?" he simply asked, wondering what could be troubling her.

"Well... I was wondering about something," she shyly stated, trailing off as if she herself thought it was stupid to be thinking such a thing.

"About what?" he curiously asked.

"Dame it's stupid."

"Dame, onegai continue."

"Hai. I was thinking about Momiji-kun."

"Momiji-san?"

"Hai. He told me that he was born to two parents who weren't part of the curse."

"Hai that's right. All members of the zodiac have been," he said confused, still not sure where she was going with this.

"Doesn't that mean our baby... could... could be too?" she muttered, barely loud enough for him to hear.

"Hai," he stated solemnly.

He had not thought of that, he had focused mainly on getting it born without Akito finding out. But... what if the baby was born into the curse. What if the curse was passed on from your parents.

"I don't know... I don't know if the curse is passed on by your parents. None of the zodiac have ever been able to have any children, let alone anyone to have them with. So I don't just don't know," he said, still dazed at the prospect of his child being born into the curse he had just been freed of.

"So what should we do? Is there any way we can find out?"

"I don't know. I doubt if anyone does know,"

"Would...would Hatori-san know?"

"He might. But I wouldn't know how to ask him."

"I could try," she said hopeful.

"Tohru-chan, I don't think that would such a good idea," he said, quietly laughing at her unassuming nature, "I'm pretty sure that would give it away."

"We need to know though," she said blushing, looking down at her hands as she began to fiddle with the blanket.

"I'll go, but only because," he paused, waiting for her to look up at him, "Aishiteru."

Blushing brightly, she smiled lightly while saying, "Aishiteru Yuki-kun."

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

The next morning she got up before he did and left him to sleep. By the time he had woken up, not only had he missed breakfast but he was nearly two hours late for school.

'Why didn't anyone wake me up,' picking up the pink alarm clock on the nightstand.

Sighing, he got up and proceeded to make his way to his room to get dressed.

Nearing the bottom of the steps, a voice called out, "I see you slept in Honda-kun's room again last night. Did you two have fun?"

Turning around to the door of the office, he shot a death glare at Shigure, today was not the day to be messing with him.

"Goman!" Shigure yelled to him, throwing up his hands, “I was only asking because Honda-san didn't look that good this morning."

"Nani?" he said, turning back around to face his cousin.

"I think she may be getting sick again. She woke up late this morning and she looked really tired," genuine concern showing through in his voice, "I told her to go lay down in her room, but she refused."

"And you let her go to school like that?" he yelled, the anger building with each passing second.

"Of course not, do you think that I am the type of person so insensitive that I would send a sick flower to school? Well I'm not. I made her go lay down in your room, seeing as hers was being used at the moment."

At the moment, he was glad for once that Shigure had enough common courtesy to leave it at that, otherwise, out of pure fury he probably would have really hurt him.

Walking down the hall towards his room, he felt helpless. She had been this feeling this way for two weeks now, every morning she had gotten up later and later and when she had tried to make breakfast most times she would turn pale and run for the nearest bathroom. Now that he knew why she was feeling this way, he knew that he couldn't really do anything to help her, for he had been thinking about going to Hatori to ask for some medicine for an upset stomach.

Opening the door, he saw her lying on her side, facing away from the door, with the blanket almost covering her head.

Whispering, so if she were asleep he wouldn't wake her, he said, "Tohru-chan, daijobou?" while walking toward both his bed and the girl lying on it.

"Hai," she moaned as she rolled over, still curled up under the blanket, "Oh! Yuki-kun," her eyes as big as saucers as she quickly sat up, trying to ignore the nauseated feeling that washed over her, "Shouldn't you be at school?"

"Hai, I should be... but someone kept me up all last night," he replied, having fun teasing the girl that had in fact kept him up, not really minding that she did in the slightest.

"Oh," her cheery disposition vanished as she whispered, her voice low, "Gomenasai."

Slowly walking over to her and kneeling in front of her, he placed his hand under her chin and tilted her head to look at him instead of the floor.

"Dame, I just woke up late is all," he said, kissing her on the tip of her nose, "I was also hoping to go talk to Hatori-san today while that baka neko is at school. But more importantly how are you feeling," he said as he laid her back down, knowing that she still wasn't feeling well by her paler than normal complexion.

"I'll be better later. It doesn't usually last that long," she protested, trying to raise back up into the sitting position.

"Tohru-chan should not worry about us, just get some rest and feel better, just take care of Tohru right now" he said, placing his hand on her abdomen, "Take care of both of you," he simply added.

"Hai," she gave up trying to resist and laid down on the futon, knowing that Yuki was right. They could take care of themselves.

"I'll be back later to check on you, hai?" he said over his shoulder as he stood to leave.

"Where are you going?" she asked, propping herself up on one elbow.

"The main house," the dread eminent in his voice.

AN : I had a lot more planned for this chapter, but seeing as it is 1:42 in the morning and tomorrow I have school, I figure I’ll end it here and save the rest for chapter 9. Hatori-san here we come ^_^ Hope you like what I have so far. Please review, also if you do try and guess what Hatori may tell Tohru to do to avoid the wrath of Akito ((Cause you all know that he’s gonna find out cause Yuki has no tact… no tact at all)). Just want to see if you guys can guess what I’m gonna do next ^_^

I’d really like to thank Koko and Rai for inspiring me to finishing up this chapter. They both have written chapters over the weekend, and while I was editing theirs’ I figured that I would finish this chapter.
