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 Four: Amazing Rescue
“Oka-chan!” a little three-year-old girl called from in the blue-green seawater.
She had waist-length silverish hair and bright violet-purple eyes and was wearing a purple bathing suit. She started giggling and splashing the warm water happily.
“What is it, Kiri-chan?” Tohru said, wading out into the water to where her daughter was playfully splashing around. She had her hair up in a ponytail and was wearing a light blue bathing suit.
“I found a pretty shell!” Kiri said gleefully holding out a large pale gray shell that sparkled dazzlingly in the sunlight. When Tohru looked at it, it reminded her painfully of Yuki’s hair. She started to remember the times she went to visit him. They were all so fun. But it was always so hard having to keep Kiri away from him.
~Flashback~
“Come Kiri-chan! Wake up now. It’s time for you to go with Auntie Arisa and Uncle Kyo now,” Tohru said, lightly shaking Kiri awake from her sleep on the drive there.
“Awuntee Awisa and Untamiu Keeo!” Kiri squealed gleefully. She was excited to meet these people her Oka-chan talked about so much.
Tohru carefully picked her daughter up and walked over to the blue house second to the end of the block and walked up to the door and rung the doorbell. The door opened to reveal…
…An old woman!
“Eep!” Kiri shrieked as she hid her face in Tohru’s chest. “Scarwee!”
“Eh heheheh,“ Tohru laughed nervously, “I’m so-sorry. I-Is this the house of Arisa and Kyo Sohma?”
“Oh, you mean that lovely couple? They live next door,” the lady smiled, making her face look more wrinkly and old.
“Okay…” Tohru said, backing away and walking over to the house.
“I nevow wanna go dere adain!” Kiri cried.
“Don’t worry, we’ll never have to see that scary lady ever again,“ Tohru said, dripping sweat. “Now let’s get you to Arisa and Kyo’s now.”
~End of Flashback~
Tohru smiled as she thought of the six or so times she had gotten time off work to go visit Yuki. As Tohru sat reminiscing, she almost started to doze off, until she heard a scream.
“Oka-chan!” Kiri screamed as a huge hunk of drift wood almost hit her in the face.
Tohru managed to grab her daughter and bring her to safety just before the wood and waves killed her. Kiri started yelling again right after her mother picked her up, only this time she kept saying, “Look at the boat, Oka-chan, mommy, mommy, look at the boat!” over and over again.
Tohru turned around to see what Kiri was talking about. Sure enough, in between the waves, a little wooden boat was rocking up and down, nearly lost to the sea. Tohru stood in wonder as she took in everything around her. Not only was there a boat, there was tons of wood, enough to make a ship. But Tohru did not look for very long because Kiri, who was on her shoulders, was yelling again.
“Look in the boat, Oka-chan! Look at it!”
Tohru looked. Someone was still in the boat. When the boat rocked, it was easy enough to tell that someone was still in the little wooden life boat. Tohru’s loving heart told her that she had to save whoever it was.
“Stay here, honey,“ she told Kiri as she set her down at a safe part of the beach, then she dove into the water and swam towards the boat.
When she finally reached it, she was exhausted, but she still pulled the boat the shore. After struggling with the boat for a while, Tohru managed to get it to shore, and got salt water in her mouth.
Spitting and heaving she finally looked over the rim of the boat. Inside was small girl, only a few years older than Kiri, who was out cold. Tohru picked up the girl, ran over to her towel and called the police using her cell phone.
“Hello, 911 emergency, how may I help you?” said a cool female voice on the other end.
“Hello, I’m at Reid State Park, and parts of a wrecked ship and a crew member just washed up on shore! I don’t know what to do! Please send someone to help!” Tohru said in fast accented English.
“Okay ma’am, we’ll send someone down there right away. Now, could you describe the scene in more detail?” the lady asked, to keep Tohru calm until the ambulance got there.
“Sure thing,” said Tohru as she continued to explain until she heard the sirens approaching.
