Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Golden Dreams ❯ Bathtubs and Bunny Rabbits ( Chapter 11 )

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you." Hatori began.

 

"Yes?" Tohru asked, peering into his deep eyes.

 

"I. . ." pause. . . "Is someone knocking?" 'Not again.' He thought

 

"Hmm. . . Yes, I think I heard something. Let me go check."

 

Tohru began to walk out of the room.

 

"PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" Hatori hissed.

 

"Oh right." Tohru blushed deeply and scurried around her room searching for the proper attire. The knocking grew louder.

 

Hatori finished dressing first, and walked quickly to the door, cursing under his breath. 'Whoever this is better be ready to die a slow and painful death. . .' He whipped the door open as hard as he could.

 

"HI HA'RI!!!

 

"Momiji, I thought you were going to call."

 

"Right, but I was SOOO worried, and so was Kisa," a golden haired child peeked out from behind Momiji. "so we decided to walk over here instead."

 

Hatori grumbled.

 

"How is Tohru? TOHRU?" Momiji called, skipping into the house, not waiting for an answer.

 

Kisa pulled on Hatori's jacket. "Is Sissy O.K.?" She sounded so upset.

 

"Yes, she is doing very well. She ought to be down soon."

 

"TOHRU?!? TOOOOH-RUUU?!?" Momiji continued to call from inside the house.

 

"I'll be down in a minute." Came the faint cry from upstairs.

 

"YAY!!!!" Momiji shouted.

 

Kisa sat on Hatori's lap waiting for Tohru while Momiji bounced from one corner of the room to another. Finally, Tohru appeared, descending the stairs. She smiled when she saw the three of them, throwing an extra smile Hatori's way. Momiji skipped towards her.

 

"TOHRU TOHRU TOHRU!!!! Are you O.K.? I heard you were sick? Would you like a lollipop?"

 

"I'm feeling much better, thanks." She replied cautiously.

 

Tohru sat next to Hatori, Kisa squirmed out of his lap and into the Rice ball's. Tohru hugged her tightly.

 

"I was worried." Kisa said softly.

 

"I'm doing much better now."

 

"Was Ha'ri gentle?" Momiji asked. "Shigure says he's mean."

 

Tohru blushed and glanced at Hatori. "Um, yes, he has been very gentle." 'So far.' Hatori thought.

 

"Ha'ri, you seem to be in a good mood." Momiji commented.

 

'What's that supposed to mean.' He thought. "Well, I am on vacation."

 

"But you're still working, making Tohru better, right?" Kisa chimed.

 

"Well, yes, but she isn't a difficult patient. I like treating her." 'That didn't come out right, it sounds like we're 'playing doctor.' Hmm, I guess we are.'

 

Tohru's blush deepened.

 

"What do you mean?" Asked the bunny.

Now it was Hatori's turn to blush. "I. . . umm. . . well, she is a good patient." His thoughts drifted to his anatomy lesson he had been having all week. "She doesn't put up a fight." 'No that didn't sound right either.' "What I mean is, she takes my medical advice, and doesn't complain."

 

"Tohru, you look flushed. Are you O.K.?" Momiji asked.

 

"I. . . I'm fine." She blushed even deeper. It was obvious her line of thinking was close to Hatori's.

 

The visit continued to be rather uncomfortable for the couple. They felt like they were in front of a firing squad with Momiji's constant questioning. Kisa just snuggled into Tohru's arms and fell asleep. Somewhere amidst the interrogation it grew dark. Finally, Momiji yawned and glanced outside.

 

"It's getting dark. We should get home." He stated.

 

Hatori sighed with relief. "Do you want me to drive you home?" He asked.

 

"Nah, it's O.K." He replied.

 

"Are you sure, I wouldn't mind." Stated the dragon.

 

"Nope, I'm used to walking home at night because I hang around Papa's work. Plus, Shigure said to let you two alone."

 

"WHAT?!?" Hatori exclaimed.

 

"Um. . . what I mean is, um. . . he said to make sure not to stress out Tohru too much with her illness, and he wanted me to call him tonight and tell me how she is." Stammered the towheaded child.

 

Hatori sighed, so that's what the questioning was for. He was lucky Momiji was so naive. Hopefully he wouldn't read into the tension. Kisa awoke, and the children left, eventually. It took awhile to pry Kisa from Tohru's. The couple was left alone. They both sighed heavily.

 

"I'm going to bathe." Hatori stated.

 

Tohru nodded.

 

"But if you want to go first, that's fine." He said.

 

"No, it's O.K., I want you to. You were the one fending off all of Momiji's questions anyway." She replied.

 

As Hatori prepared for his bath the phone rang. He sighed heavily, expecting it to be Shigure. I'm getting in the bath before he can get to me. He hurried into the bathroom and shut the door. He undressed and sat in the tub. The water was almost halfway full when he heard Tohru enter the room. He admired her audacity for intruding when she knew he would be naked, even if it was for the phone. She knocked on the screen.

 

"Can I come in?" She asked.

 

Hatori crossed his legs, realizing she had seen what was between them, but he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. "Um, sure." He replied.

 

He was prepared for her to stun him with her blushing beauty. What he was not prepared for was for her to stun him with her blushing beauty wearing nothing but a towel. Hatori's jaw dropped.

 

"I. . . uh. . . yeah. . ." He fumbled for the right words. "What are you doing? I mean not that I mind, but. . . ARGH! Why doesn't anything I say come out right?"

 

Tohru smiled shyly. "It's O.K., you're always the composed one anyway."

 

"So?" He asked

 

"Oh RIGHT! You told Shigure you wouldn't let me out of your sight, am I correct?"

 

"Yes."

 

"Well, while you are bathing, I would otherwise be out of your sight, and a promise is a promise, right?"

 

Hatori chuckled. "Yes, I suppose it is."

 

He smiled at her. The bathtub was now full, so he shut off the water and leaned back. Tohru removed her towel slowly, making sure Hatori's eyes were upon her. She bit her lip and blushed as she stood exposed before him. He groaned, his groin began to tighten. He realized that until this very moment, he had never seen Tohru entirely naked. Her beauty was mystifying. She slowly and gracefully got into the water, emerging herself inch by inch until she sat facing Hatori. Now for Tohru, doing anything gracefully is quite a feat. Hatori noted this. Her buoyant breasts broke the surface tension of the water as it licked her upper torso. Hatori wished that it was him licking her. He began to grow harder. Hatori was struggling to gain composure.

 

"Who was on the phone?" He asked

 

"It was Yuki. Ayame told him I was sick, and he was just checking in on things."

 

"I see." He paused. Tohru was stretching out, resting her feet on his inner thighs. His pulse quickened. "I suppose Ayame blew it out of proportion."

 

Tohru nodded, her toes slowing tracing his pelvic line.

 

Hatori tilted his head back and closed his eyes. Tohru smiled. He was responding beautifully. She bit her lip. Hatori's eyes darted to her lips. She rubbed them together, inviting him to join. He leaned across the tub catching her lips with his own. He pressed his tongue into her mouth, tangling them. Tohru moaned. His erection was pressing into her mound, teasing her more than she had intended to tease him. She rubbed her clit against his hardness. Hatori gripped the edges of the tub to prevent him from losing control and penetrating her. Tohru's hands massaged his taught back muscles. He kissed her neck, sucking the water drops away from her skin.

He ran one of his hands up her side before resting on her breast. He handled it gently, causing her nipples to become erect around his fingers. Tohru nipped Hatori's neck. He cried out in pleasure, arching his back. His erection pressed harder against Tohru's. He moaned. He was going to have to pull away soon. He kissed her, and looked into her eyes. She was unmistakably innocent. He groaned and shook his head. He began to get up when he felt Tohru thrust onto him, catching the tip of his penis within her vaginal walls. He gasped and his muscles spasmed. She pulled him back down onto her. He looked deep into her eyes, they were pleading. He danced in and out of her gently, not deep enough to break her maidenhood.

He stopped and pulled away from her.

 

"Tohru, I can't do this to you." He apologized.

 

She lifted his; he was looking directly into her eyes. "This is what I want." She affirmed. Her jaw was set.

 

Hatori leaned down to kiss her. He was caught in torrents of passion. She spread her legs for him to enter. He played at her entrance. He pulled away again, this time he stood up. The water poured off of his body, muscles glistening as the space between them allowed steams to form. Tohru was bedazzled at his massive figure. She looked at him inquisitively as he got out of the tub, and dried off a bit.

 

He smiled at her. "Not here." He commented. He grabbed some towels, scooped her up, and carried his dripping princess into her chambers.
