Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Newlyweds ❯ Chapter 6

Tohru came home her bag full her footsteps very light trying to make her way past Shigure's office without any confrontation. Her bag was wiggling a little now as she hurried toward the steps.

 

Shigure walked out of his study then blinked "Tohru! Your home! How are you? I ordered dinner It should be here soon" he sniffed ".... I smell... A dog..."

 

She blushed a little as she looked down. "... I umm... This big dog jumped on me on my way to school and knocked me down... So I probably smell like him..." She rubbed the back of her head as she moved hiding the squirming bag.

 

Shigure blinked raising a brow "Smells like a puppy... puppy wouldn't be able to knock you down" he blinked raising a brow "oh well! I'll set the table you go get dressed" he skipped off to the kitchen. She sighed lightly as she moved quickly up the steps into her room locking the door. She set the bag down on her bag pulling the puppy from her bag setting the puppy on her well made bed that hadn't looked like it been used for a few weeks. The black puppy with a spot on his left eye just wagged his tail watching her.

 

Shigure crawled into her window panting "Did you know your doors locked?" he flopped on the floor "Phew that was hard! What do you want for dinner?...." he blinked at the puppy

 

She picked up the puppy that started to growl at the man that climbed in threw the window. ".... Is this a bad time to ask if I can keep 'em.....?"

 

Shigure blinked at Tohru then looked at the puppy "Umm... k-keep him?"

 

She looked down slowly. ".... I'll go take him back to the box I found him in...."

 

Shigure twitched "No no no.. You can... keep him... Just you gotta train him and everything ok?"

 

She nodded lightly as she looked up to him smiling. "Thank you Shigure-san!"

 

Shigure nodded slowly "uhuh..." he crawled back out the window

 

She set the puppy down as she went over to the window looking down to him. "Shigure-san?"

 

Shigure blinked at her "Hai?"

 

"Don't do that again what if I was changing?" She looked a little mad with her hands on the edge of the ladder.

 

Shigure blinked "not like I haven't seen it"

 

"Yeah well I still don't want you looking."

 

Shigure rolled his eyes "Right right what do you want for dinner 'sweetie'?"

 

"Whatever you want I guess...." She walked away from the window after slamming it shut the puppy following her out as she headed downstairs.

 

Shigure sighed rubbing his head "Moody little-" he was cut off seeing the delivery man there. She sat the table the puppy setting on her lap. Shigure walked in setting the bag on the table. The puppy's tail started wagging as he smelled the food Tohru petting him softly. Shigure set three plates full of food glaring at the puppy behind Tohru's back She smiled happily as she started to eat feeding the puppy at the same time. Shigure sighed eating his own food sulking

 

"Shigure-san what's wrong?" She tilted her head to the side as the puppy started eating her food.

 

Shigure shook his head poking at his food "Nothing?

 

She looked down nodding as she started eating again. Shigure sighed glaring at the puppy eating slowly. She finished her meal the puppy looking to her before cuddling in her lap to sleep. Shigure growled finishing his meal before standing taking the plates walking to the kitchen to wash them. She looked up hearing him. She slowly sat the puppy down on a pillow as she walked into the kitchen following after him. Shigure washed the dishes ignoring her.

 

".... Shigure-san...?" She spoke up finally.

 

Shigure sighed then looked at her "hmm?"

 

"Did I do something wrong to make you hate me all of a sudden?"

 

Shigure sighed "I don't hate YOU"

 

"Your acting like you do...." She leaned back against the wall sighing. "... You kept giving me these weird looks during dinner...." She thought it was her that was causing the older man discomfort.

 

Shigure shifted "Not YOU"

 

She looked down. "I'll take the puppy back tomorrow."

 

Shigure sighed angrily "Keep the damn thing! I -DON'T- care! Just keep it away from me!" He shouted before walking out of the kitchen to his study, he was rather jealous he was married to Tohru and she hardly even spoke to him, and now a stray dog she brought in got away more attention, he was rather sick of it

 

She shivered lightly as she looked up slowly. ".... I was only trying to be helpful Shigure-san...." She walked out of the kitchen heading into the dinning room picking up the puppy as she headed outside looking for a rope. Shigure watched her through his study window then sat down at his desk angrily writing at the paper in front of him. She found a rope eventually as she walked over to a tree tying it around tightly as she found the dog's collar tying him to the tree.

 

The night it was rather late as the rain poured down hard, Shigure knew Tohru was still in bed asleep, he sighed getting up from his desk walking outside to the shivering puppy and un tied it carrying it back in the house. She laid quietly in bed her eyes closed halfway. 'It probably be to much to ask Shigure to build the puppy a dog house or buy one.' She was thinking to herself and she didn't feel like moving risking Shigure getting up set with her for bringing in a wet dog.

 

Shigure walked to the bathroom wrapping the puppy in a towel before walking to his study setting the puppy on the couch "Stay there and don't move" The dog just looked at him tilting his head to the side watching him. Shigure sighed going back to work glancing at the puppy. The puppy laid down yawning lightly as he continued to look at the older man. Shigure sighed rubbing his eyes working all through the night

 

-----Next morning-----

 

She rubbed her eyes tiredly as she walked down the steps of the house heading outside to check on the puppy. As she looked outside she noticed something was wrong the rope was missing a puppy at the other end. She came running into the house starting to cry. "Jason, Jason ate my puppy!"

 

Shigure jumped from his desk having just gotten to sleep, he looked around rubbing his eyes "Nani????"

 

She stood at the front of his office her hands covering her eyes. ".... Jason ate my puppy...."

 

Shigure sighed, "He's on the couch..."

 

She looked up now hearing him as she looked up the puppy fast asleep curled in a ball. She moved over toward the puppy holding him the puppy making a gasping sound. ".... I thought Jason ate you."
