Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Newlyweds ❯ Chapter 3

`I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.'

 

She walked along the alleyway heading to her work for the evening. She had clothes packed away in her bag so she could change there and away from Shigure's eyes. She walked in the back door of her work into the changing room to change into her 'outfit.'

 

Shigure sighed standing up rubbing his eyes "Bred.. Maybe I'll check out that new bar that opened up?... Hmm.... To go... or not to go... To go... or not to go... To go."

 

She was blushing madly as she pulled on the small skirt then the tank top that had little rips in it. Ever since the place she used to work at closed down she had trouble finding a job until she turned 18 when she was allowed to go work at this new place that opened up. ".... Another night of coming home smelling like smoke..." She spoke barely above a whisper as she pulled the boots on stepping outside into the next room fully dressed looking like a cowgirl.

 

Shigure hummed softly as he called Hatori asking for a ride there, when the doctor came he got in the car and both went to the bar, Shigure blinked "I heard great reviews of this place!" Hatori sighed "Its a stripper bar isn't it?"

 

She was blushing it was different now she had the ring on a thin necklace so they wouldn't know she was married to anyone. ".... Maybe I'll get to stay in the back still...."

 

Shigure blinked "I don't think so... I'm married so if it was.. It would be bad." Hatori sighed then got out of the car "Lets go" Shigure nodded getting out of the car walking with Hatori towards the bar

 

One of the girl's called her over setting her down in one of the chairs. "We need you on the floor so I need to put a little make up on you to make you more appealing to the men."

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

 

Shigure blinked walking in "Well... Not a strip bar! But very pretty girls!.. Too bad I'm taken… lets get a drink!" Hatori sighed leading the dog to the bar and sat down rubbing his eyes "I can't drink" Shigure blinked "I drink you watch."

 

She got up now after the girl had applied the make upy stuff. 'I feel so foolish with this stuff on' She thought to herself as she went onto the floor with drinks one man all ready grabbing her from behind he was already drunk and wasted.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

Shigure watched the waitress down the ways get grabbed "Heh... She looks like Tohru..."He went back to his friend then tensed looking back "That... Is Tohru... He.. just grabbed my wife!" He growled standing up; Hatori blinked "Nani?"

 

She was fighting back now against the man that was placing gentle kisses on her neck. "Just a little dance for me come on your much pretty then these other girls...." The man's grip only tightened.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Shigure walked to the man then growled "Let her go" he punched the man pulled Tohru back into Hatori, Hatori placed his hands on Tohru's shoulders "you ok Miss Honda?"

 

She looked up quickly her face turning pale as she looked down the feeling of embarrassment filling her. The drunken man reached out grabbing hold oh Tohru's necklace breaking the chain causing the ring to fall and roll away.

 

Shigure growled pinning the man to the wall his eyes narrowing dangerously "You touch my WIFE again and I'll make sure you won't have anything to PLEASE a woman with!" He punched the man again before walking to Tohru slightly hurt eyes "What are you doing here?

 

She looked to him sadly. ".... Losing my job now because of you!" She pulled away from Hatori now as she started to walk away.

 

Shigure shivered his eyes wide, he lowered then picked up the ring shivering a he walked off head low, Hatori went to grab Shigure but the other ran off out of the building, Hatori cursed running after him losing sight of him when the other ran off down the road

 

She sat in the back room starting to undress into her normal dress clothing thoughts running threw her head. 'He could have gotten drunk with Hatori at home, but no he came because of the girls'

 

Hatori sighed rubbing his eyes before walking to the room Tohru had disappeared in "I guess this looks bad on Shigure's part..." She walked out of the room some of the women were staring her down now she had lied and brought trouble to the bar. She slowly looked up seeing Hatori she left the costume in the back holding her empty bag.

 

Hatori Grabbed her arm "Listen to me" he said lowly before leading her out of the bar to the car. She shivered feeling his hand grab her arm. She stayed silent though as she followed him outside.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Hatori sighed rubbing his eyes "shigure didn't come here for girls.. for once in his life.. he was told how great this place was and wanted to cheak it out.. He just wanted a drink and to leave.. He hasn't been out of the house in a month..."

 

"... He went out the night we got hitched.... I think anyways.... he got me to drunk too remember...." She looked down slowly.

 

Hatori blinked "you think he was any sober? And no you both where at home when you got hitched.. I came there when the "Priest" was leaving... Tohru... He ran off... I doubt he's going to come back..."

 

".... He has to though it's his home...." She felt so ashamed now her eyes closing slowly.

 

Hatori shivered "Tohru... He found your ring on the floor... He thinks you hate him... He's been hurt like this before… he fell in love and the woman divorced him days later taking everything he had..."

 

"... I wouldn't take anything from Shigure-san why do you think I would be working in such a place.... I don't want to take anything from him that I can't get on my own.... As for the ring I had it on a necklace I wouldn't part from it.... For anything...." She slowly leaned back against his car. ".... I didn't know Shigure-san would know what I was doing..."

 

Hatori shivered "He found out... And he's upset... he wanted to help and.. you blamed him for you losing your job..."

 

She slide down the car sitting down now on the side of the street the back of her head hitting the car as she looked up. ".... I was scared of what Shigure-san would say.... I didn't want him to see me like that.... So I said anything I could to make him leave me...."

 

Hatori knelt down in front of her "He only had you left Tohru... You where the only reason he was still around..."

 

She placed her hands over her eyes to keep from crying her head now hanging low. "... I need to find him.... I need to...."

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Hatori nodded holding his hand for her "come on.. I got an idea where he is"

 

She took his hand slowly as she followed him. ".... Is he at a bar because of me...?"

 

Listen to your heart, mm-mmmmmm

Hatori shook his head "No... Come on get in the car" he led her to the passenger side.

 

She got in rather quickly buckling up waiting for him now.

I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.
