Disclaimer: No matter how much I wish I owned Fruits Basket, I do not. That honor is bestowed upon Ms. Natsuki Takaya. Kudos to her!!! (I do, however, own Tamaki, Kiri and all the new members of the Sohma family!!!)
Chapter Three: Off to America…
“Where are you? Where have you gone?” Yuki said to the shadow of his dreams, the one with the face of Tohru. “Don’t you love me? You said you loved me more than anything, that this was a good thing. But good things don’t hurt this much. Where are you now? Tohru!” Yuki cried out to the ghost of his wife, reaching out to her, but she just moved farther and farther away.
He woke with a start, his hand still outstretched, reaching for her. Tohru had been gone for over a year, and as each month passed, Yuki became farther and farther away from everything around him.
He knew that if he didn’t see her soon, he would go mad with grief. When she had first said that she was leaving, he thought he could handle it, but he couldn’t. Without Tohru, he was going crazy. And all he had of her was the note she had left for him, and all it said was this:
Dearest Yuki-kun,
I love you more than anything, and I love our sweet little Kiri too. You both mean everything to me. Understand this Yuki, no matter what happens to me in the next three years, I will always love you, and I will never forget you. I’ll come visit in a year, when I have a stable house and job. I wanted to wait until you woke up, but then I’d never be able to leave you.
Love always, xo Tohru xo
“Why did you leave at all?!” Yuki yelled out into the night, after reading the note for the millionth time. “You said you’d come back in a year! It’s been a year! Where are you?”
Tears began to run down his face, “I know I can’t hold you normally and I know I’m anything but normal, but I adore you, I worship you, you’re everything to me.”
It took him over an hour for him to fall back asleep this time, each time it seemed to take longer, and it worried him. What if he just stopped sleeping? What would happen to him then? Would he die?
~~~~~~~~~~
Crying woke Tohru from her light sleep. She rolled over and shook sleep from her like dogs shake off water. She went straight to Kiri’s cradle, and picked her up, thinking not of Kiri, but of Yuki, as always.
“He must hate me,” she said to Kiri. “I left just like that! And I haven’t visited in soooo long! I’m a horrible wife!” And with that, Tohru started to cry too, making Kiri stop and stare at her mom in baby disbelief.
After five minutes Tohru stopped crying enough to go lie down in her big empty bed with Kiri next to her, and she cried herself to sleep.
In the morning Tohru woke up determined to visit Yuki and the Sohmas. So before she went to work, she looked up plane tickets from Augusta, Maine to Tokyo, Japan; from Tohru to Yuki.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Hey! Tohru! Its good to hear your voice again! Everyone’s missed you so much!” Arisa said into the receiver. “You’re going to come visit? Awesome! Don’t worry, I’ll tell Hana and no one else.”
Arisa smiled as Tohru told her about how well she had been doing in America. Then they said goodbye and hung up the phone, and her smile faded. ‘Yuki needs Tohru so much!’ she thought. ‘But does Tohru need him? I know they love each other more than anything, but he can’t live without her and she…’
Arisa frowned as she walked into the kitchen. She only noticed that Kyo was in the room when he said hello to her. She spun around and thought wildly, ‘What if he heard me talking to Tohru?!’ then managed to smile and tried to look normal.
“Hey honey,” she said, walking over to him and kissing him
on the lips, being careful not to hug him.
Kyo just stared at her. ”What’s up with you, Arisa? You look surprised. This is still my house, too, right?” he said this in a joking way, but Arisa could hear the worry in his voice.
“It’s okay, Kyo. Well, it’s not okay, but I can’t say why,” Arisa said lamely.
Kyo looked at her strangely, then said, “This is about that phone call, isn’t it? You know I heard everything you said and I think it’s good. That damn rat needs Tohru to come back.”
“I know he does, Kyo, I know, but I’m still worried. I don’t want my little baby Tohru to hurt him, or Yuki to hurt her, but that’s all they’ve been doing lately.”
Kyo came over and kissed her cheek, “They’ll be fine,” was all he said as both of them stood there, hoping for the best.
