Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Kyo's Kitten Reika ❯ ReiRei and Ayame ( Chapter 2 )

Reika approached Hatori's door and knocked.

 

“Come in.”

 

Reika opened the door and ran over to Hatori who was having coffee and tea with Shigure, Ayame, and the new member to their club, Hatsuharu.

 

Reika didn't look around but merely ran into the doctor's arms and cried softly.

Ayame looked over at the young girl and smiled.

 

“Reika, where's Kyo and Yuki, shouldn't they be here with you?” Shigure didn't really like the kid, she was the cat after all, but he was still concerned.

 

Haru understood why she was here alone and took the girl from the doctor. Reika looked scared as she saw that she was not alone. She had only met Shigure, Kagura, Tohru, Arisa, Suki, Kyo, Yuki, Hatori, Momiji, Hatsuharu, and unfortunately Akito.

 

Haru said nothing as he carried the girl to his room and sat her on his bed. He had his own room in Hatori's house because Hatori had decided to take him on as an apprentice. Haru would be the future doctor.

 

“Why'd you run away?” Haru sat down on his bed beside the kid and put her on his lap.

 

“Tohru” she muttered barely audible, but Haru heard it nonetheless.

 

Ayame walked into Haru's room and flashed him a toothy grin, “We just called Kyo. He says it's ok to have Rei-Rei spend the night!”

 

“Who's Rei-Rei?” Reika had long since stopped her tears and looked at the silver-haired adult.

 

“You are silly!”

 

Haru smiled and got up, holding the cat as a person would a baby. “I can walk.” Reika stated nervously. She really didn't want to talk to the Hatsuharu when she had only met him once, but didn't seem to have a choice.

 

Ayame took Reika from the Ox who had gone down stairs and placed the child on his hip. He loved kids, something everyone knew. Unfortunately, he didn't have one of his own.

 

“Of course you can walk, but this way's way more fun! By the way, my name's Ayame!”

 

“Ayame? Dad says you're gay. What's gay?”

 

The latter question was the only one the group heard as Ayame and Reika appeared in the living room.

 

“…” Ayame didn't know what to say.

 

Shigure grinned at his friend only guessing what could have brought up that question.

“'Gure, Kyo told Rei-Rei that I'm gay!” The silver haired beauty pouted as he set the five-year-old down.

 

Haru burst out laughing and was slowly followed by Shigure. Hatori chuckled, but because of his normal lack of emotion that meant that he was in hysterics.

 

“What's so funny?” Reika walked over to Haru by the couch and sat down.

 

Ayame glanced at the clock and shrieked, “Shigure, Hatori, if we don't leave now we'll be late to the concert! Haru, will you please, please, please, please, please watch Rei-Rei? Thanks in advance!” Ayame grabbed Hatori and Shigure's sleeve before Haru was even able to blink.

 

Reika looked at the clock and headed towards the door.

 

“Where do you think you're going?”

 

“Home. Bye!” Reika raced out of the house. Haru cursed under his breath and took off after the orange haired fireball.

 

Reika weaved in between the trees, effectively confusing the cow. Kyo saw Reika and waited for her inside the door.

 

Reika ran towards the door, only to be picked up by Kyo and placed on his hip. Haru looked around and glared at Kyo before walking home.

 

Kyo shut the door and sighed. “Reika, don't you ever, ever run away again! Now, go apologize.” Kyo didn't want to admit it but he was extremely relieved to see Reika safe at home.

 

Reika looked at her dad and sighed. “She kissed him.”

 

Kyo looked at her funny and finally realized why she hated Tohru. “Reika get to bed, it's almost nine and I have to get up early to get that bracelet of yours.

 

“What does `gay' mean? Ayame wouldn't tell me.” Kyo smirked at his daughter and thought about her asking Ayame.

 

“Ask Yuki.”

 

Kyo carried Reika over to his bed and laid her down before lying down beside her and falling fast asleep.
