Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Newlyweds ❯ Chapter 8

Shigure shivered sitting under his desk writing in his journal 'Day 1... I have been in my study for over 24 hours... I think my time is drawing near.. Who ever finds this I prey.. You will not forget me... Her moods swings have gotten worse.. its like Wolf war three out there... I'd like to tell Hatori.. You where my best friend... Ayame.. I'll never forget you... and all the other Shoma's.. May you live in peace... I leave all my belongings to Tohru... Since.. We're married and all... even now as I write this... I feel a bit of pity... For impregnating her Its like hell out there with her mood swings.. Oh... here she comes' He shivered listening to her footsteps outside the room

 

She stepped into the study holding some oatmeal in one hand and a few blankets that were dragged behind her that the puppy sat on. "You didn't come get breakfast so I made you some..."

 

Shigure sweat dropped "y-you made it?" -oat meal?... ew.. But... Must.. Eat it... If.. I wish.. to keep.. My man hood- "Yummy lets eat"

 

"I already ate I made it just for you." She smiled kindly as she held it out to him. "Look I put bacon on it along with chocolate chips so its smiling."

 

Shigure sweat dropped more then nodded taking the bowl "Hai... thank you. "He sat down and smiling still made it look like he was RALLY busy. She slowly lay down under the blankets resting her head on one of his legs resting a little bit.

 

Shigure shivered then when knowing she was asleep offered the food to the puppy who just sat there refusing to eat it "Evil dog eat it... cooome oooooooon..... eat it…" he said in a whiny voice. She shifted slightly in her sleep the dog slowly back away from him growling a bit before laying down in Tohru's arms getting comfy. The puppy kind of looked like it was smirking at him when he was in her arms.

 

Shigure glared twitching his eye Can't blame ya really" he sighed poking at the hard oat meal before again going under the desk and writing 'she seems to be wanting to kill me.. but.. I shall never eat the poison she calls food T.T She hasn't been cooking well all pregnancy... we've been having take out... Oh how I long for misou soup!... ah well... Must get rid of.. the gruel...' The puppy just watched him as if shaking its head slightly. The girl sleeping so peacefully against the old male.

 

Shigure slipped out of the room and ran to the kitchen disposing the "Food" In the garbage before taking it out back pouring gasoline on it and setting it on fire watching it burn.

 

She sat up slightly feeling his presence gone now her hand setting down on the papers he was writing a new story. Her other hand accidentally missing the edge causing the table to shake a little an ink container tipping over.

 

Shigure walked in the room feeling much better now that he destroyed the "Poison" he stopped in his tracks eyes wide looking at the ink covered manuscript"...."

 

".... I didn't mean to Shigure-san...." She didn't move now her eyes filled with tears as her head lowered in shame.

 

Shigure twitched a bit not wanting to get mad at Tohru but... His work that was due that day was now ruined "...." She kept her head lowered as she slowly moved to a new sheet of paper that was free of the ink quickly trying to right things down. Shigure shivered. The puppy just looked at the girl licking her left hand as she tried to write something down. Shigure sighed sitting at the dining table his head in his hands.

 

She slowly got up after an hour walking over to where he was sitting. ".... Shigure-san...?" She spoke sadly barely above a whisper her hands were covered in black ink as she held papers.

 

Shigure looked at her then sighed sadly looking away "Hai?"

 

".... I remembered some of the story.... When I took peaks at it when you were sleeping.... I really did try to remember all the words...."

 

Shigure sighed "Its fine Tohru... I'll just get an extension.." he got up walking away "I'm going out for a bit... Don't wait up for me ok?" She looked to him sadly as she looked down nodding. Shigure sighed walking out of the house rubbing his eyes.

 

".... I made him mad...." She walked back to the study starting to clean up the mess she made. Hours later Shigure came home rather drunk a depressed and sat at his study writing away. She walked down the steps rubbing her eyes hearing him come home the puppy fallowing behind her. Shigure glared at the paper as he started writing the manuscript again. She walked into the study now trying to be quiet as she could as she walked over kneeling beside him.

 

Shigure looked at her then looked away "Yuki's coming home this spring..."

 

"That's good then he'll be able to help with the baby." Shigure nodded slowly his eyes still on the manuscript.

 

Her head lowered slowly. "... I'm sorry I'm such a klutz."

 

Shigure shook his head "Its alright"

 

"No its not I screwed everything up for you."

 

Shigure shook his head yawning "No you didn't"

 

".... I can smell alcohol on your breath...."

 

Shigure blinked at her "And?"

 

"...You haven't really drank since I become pregnant so something is wrong."

 

Shigure shrugged "I just went to Hatori's and we had a few drinks"

 

She looked away slowly before getting up. Shigure blinked "You don't believe me?.. Call him and ask yourself"

 

"I don't care." She walked out sliding the door closed as she headed up to their room. Shigure growled ripping up his manuscript before storming out of the room and house

 

She flinched hearing the door closed her eyes lowering halfway. "He's never got mad at me like this.... I don't think I've ever seen him mad...” Shigure sat outside the house lighting a cigarette inhaling deeply. The puppy licked her cheek softly trying to comfort her as best he could. She sat up in bed stepping down the steps the puppy following after her. Tohru slipped on her shoes and a coat taking a step outside. Shigure sat watching the rain fall down a cigarette in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other

 

"Shigure-san...." Shigure blinked at her then looked away angered. She placed her hand on his slowly.

 

Shigure bit back a growl "you should be sleeping"

 

".... I couldn't sleep." She looked up to him now.

 

Shigure shivered a bit "You should still try.."

 

"I think you should to Shigure-san you haven't slept with me in so long it feels empty without even with the puppy with me."

 

Shigure sighed "I will soon...."

 

She nodded slowly. "That's why I slept downstairs in your study so I could be with for at least one night." Shigure sighed sadly

 

"... I'm sorry I screwed everything up..."

 

Shigure shook his head "Its fine"

 

"Was she as mad as you?"

 

Shigure shook his head "Worse..."

 

She lowered her head looking down. "... I'm not doing a very good job at being your wife..."

 

Shigure raised a brow "What do you mean?"

 

".... For one your getting really skinny so I must not be feeding you good, then I screw up your manuscript...."

 

Shigure shook his head. "Its all fine Tohru.. Really" She slowly looked down nodding.

 

Shigure blinked a bit then got up walking into the house and came back with a big blanket sitting down he held open his arms and the blanket "Care to watch the rain with me?" She nodded smiling faintly as she moved close to him careful that he wouldn't transform into a dog. Shigure smiled softly nuzzling her neck as he watched the rain.

 

She blushed lightly tilting her head to the side. ".... Its fun to play in the rain when your a child...."

 

Shigure smiled then nodded "I use to play in the rain all the time with Ayame and Hatori"

 

"Didn't Ayame-san turn into a snake with the rain since its a dramatic change..." She looked back to him.

 

Shigure chuckled "Nah.. We use to shove him in a shower and turn it from warm to cold slowly getting him use to the water.. And when he did turn into a snake we knew it was time to go in." She giggled lightly as she nodded taking his hands slowly placing them on her stomach. Shigure smiled softly rubbing her tummy.

 

"... Once in awhile I can feel the baby kick."

 

Shigure beamed "That's great!"

 

She giggled once more as she closed her eyes. ".... The baby is do in spring.... and Yuki-kun is coming.... I hope I have the baby before then I don't want Yuki-kun to see me when I'm fat...."

 

Shigure raised a brow "Akito said since Kyou hasn't made a fuss since he was in the cage he can have spring break with us too"

 

She smiled a little more. "... Did you tell Akito-sama about us?"

 

Shigure shook his head "I didn't want him hurting you.. or the baby..."

 

"So for now do you want me to stay hidden and remain a secret?"

 

Shigure shook his head "I'll tell him... Just not now when the baby could die this easy..."

 

"I know, but he doesn't need to know only the people you feel comfortable with."

 

Shigure nodded nuzzling her "Ayame knows... He wants to come over in the morning to see you... Kisa and Hiro want to come over too... Hatori will come over to be your doctor and Haru and momiji will be sleeping over"

 

She blushed lightly as she nodded. "A houseful of people... I guess I better make some food up."

 

Shigure sweat dropped "Sounds good!"

 

"Will it be like a baby shower kind of thing Shigure-san?"

 

Shigure chuckled "No no.. But they are going to plan one... They all just want to see the baby"

 

"Its still a long ways from popping out right?" She looked to him a little worried now. ".... Will something be wrong since you're the dog of the zodiac?"

 

Shigure blinked "Huh?"

 

"Has any members of the zodiac had children before?"

 

Shigure nodded closing his eyes "Some do.. Others refuse to love.."

 

"But are the babies ok?" She looked to him curiously.

 

Shigure nodded smiling "Yes" She smiled nodding as she rested her head on his arm.

 

Shigure smiled "Go to sleep Tohru"

 

She shook her head. ".... I'm finally getting some time with you and I'm enjoying it." Shigure chuckled then nodded smiling.

 

She yawned softly as she stayed close to him now. "... Do you think Kyou and Yuki-kun will be upset?"

 

Shigure blinked "Is a cold contagious?"

 

"Sometimes." She blinked looking back to him now a bit confused.

 

Shigure chuckled "Their going to be pissed"

 

".... Well since I don't remember what we did that night your going to explain that you married me first then got me knocked up right?"

 

Shigure nodded "yep"

 

".... Ok that's a little ok I guess..."

 

Shigure blushed.

 

".... At least it didn't seem rash like you got me knocked up then married me to cover it up."

 

Shigure shifted a bit uneasy clearing his throat. She tilted her head to the side now as she looked to him. Shigure kissed her deeply "Lets go to bed ok?" She blushed a dark red feeling his kiss before slowly nodding. Shigure smiled standing up holding his hand out for her. She took his hand following him now.
