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 Six: A Very Frightening Adventure in the Capital City
“M-Momiji!” Tohru yelled, remembering the sleepy children only long enough to carefully set them on a chair, and running wildly at her old friend.
Five seconds and one big poof later, a little yellow bunny was sitting in Tohru’s lap. Tohru started to laugh until she cried, as Momiji gasped for air around Tohru’s unrelenting grip.
“Oh Momiji! I’ve missed you so much! I haven’t seen you in years!” Tohru cried.
“And what am I, something the cat dragged in?” Another familiar drawling voice said from the other side of the room. Tohru took her face out of Momiji’s fur to stare at two other uninvited guests.
“Hiro! Kisa! You’re here too?! Why didn’t you say anything?!”
“And get the same hello as that silly rabbit? No thank you, I rather like being able to breathe,” the forever rude Hiro said disdainfully, Kisa elbowed him in the ribs and glared at him, then ran forward to hug Tohru .
“Sissy!” she called as she hugged Tohru tight, just like she had the first time they met, seven years ago.
~~~~~~~~~~
Everything was set up for Tohru’s enlarged family. Kiri and Tamaki had curled up on the couch together and quickly drifted off to sleep so they were left there for the night.
Since Kisa and Hiro were engaged, Tohru had them share Kiri’s bed. And that left Momiji and Tohru, who ended up sharing Tohru‘s bed. Momiji didn’t want to take the bed from Tohru, and Tohru wouldn’t take the bed from Momiji so they folded the sheets in half and shared the bed.
To some people, that might seem a little odd, but to Tohru, Momiji would always be the cute little kid he had been when they met, and like a little brother to her. And it was the same for Momiji, everything he felt for Tohru was the same love he felt for his sister Momo.
~~~~~~~~~~
“You know, Maine looks a lot bigger on the map than in real life,” Momiji said cheerfully as he skipped down the street, staring at all the small businesses of downtown Augusta the next afternoon.
“And do you know how stupid you look right now?” Hiro said grumpily. Kisa grabbed his shirt front, pulled him down to her height, then kissed him.
“Hiro-chan, do you really have to be so mean? Momiji is just having a little fun. You should try it too before you shrivel up into a prune,” Kisa whispered in his ear.
Tohru couldn’t help but smile, seeing the way Hiro’s face softened whenever he looked at Kisa, even if she happened to be glaring at him.
Kisa and Hiro shared a bond that Tohru and Yuki never could. Because they are both members of the zodiac, they understand each other’s pain, and they can touch anytime they want. It was very hard for Tohru not to be jealous of them. ‘I mean, when was the last time I even saw Yuki?’ she asked herself.
“Mommy!” Kiri said, in Japanese of course, “Mommy? Can Tami and I go with Uncle Momiji? He’s a lot of fun, and even if she don’t say so, I just know Tami likes him too, so can we?” she pleaded.
Tohru smiled at her daughter. She kept thinking how silly she had been to name the little girl Tamaki because Kiri couldn’t pronounce it and had immediately given her the nickname “Tami”.
“I’m sorry Kiri-kun, but Uncle Momiji doesn’t know this city very well, so I don’t think he’s a good guide. But I’m sure if you asked Aunt Kisa and Uncle Hiro, they wouldn’t mind stopping at a park to play…“ Before Tohru could finish her sentence, Kiri was off to ask Hiro and Kisa about the park.
A few minutes later, everyone was running around and goofing off at the park, and since the girls were occupied with teasing Hiro, Tohru decided now would be the best time to ask a question that had been bugging her since the night before.
“Momiji! Kisa! I’d like a word please!” Tohru called out to her two friends.
“What is it?” Momiji asked, after collapsing on the grass next to her, trying to catch his breath.
“I want to know why you’re here. Something must be up, not that I don’t love you three visiting, but…you never visited me in the last three years, so why now?”
Kisa looked at Momiji, Momiji looked at Kisa, and Tohru looked at both of them, trying to decide if she needed to worry.
Kisa nodded at Momiji, then turned back to Tohru, “It’s Yuki, Tohru. I know you’ve been visiting him every nine months or so, but it must not be enough, because –“ Kisa was cut off by Hiro running over to them with a horrified look on his face.
“Kisa! Tohru! Momiji! The kids are gone!” was all he needed to say to get the three young adults off the ground and completely frantic.
“W-what happened Hiro?!?!” Tohru half yelled at him.
“I don’t know! We were playing hide and seek and I counted to ten and they ran off to hide. When I looked for them I couldn’t find them anywhere in the park! I don’t know where they went, and I am soooo sorry Tohru!” he finished, and boy did he look sorry.
“If we ever have kids I am never, ever, letting you watch them.” Kisa said to her fiancé.
“We can split up and look for them,” Momiji suggested, “Kisa and Hiro can go towards the right and Tohru and I can go towards the left.” Everyone agreed, and the hunt for the children began.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Momiji! How far can two little girls go? I don’t see them anywhere,” Hiro called out to his cousin.
“We haven’t seen them either, Hiro, and I’m starting to get worried,” Momiji confided quietly, so Tohru could not hear.
“We just have to keep looking, or else we will all get a pretty bad beating from Yuki when we go back to Japan.” Hiro reminded him. “Though I’d almost be happy to be beat up by Yuki, after all that’s been happening with him. It would be nice to see him acting like his old self.” And on that depressing note, the cousins both left to keep looking.
Kisa had met up with Tohru as they walked across the park and the side streets. Neither of them were saying anything.
“GET THE HELL AWAY FROM US!” a loud, child-like voice yelled from a street called Mount Vernon Avenue. Tohru and Kisa shared a look that said, ‘Oh God, please let that be them!’
The two young women ran to the parking lot of Cumberland Farms to find… Kiri, Tamaki and a crazy-looking woman. As soon as the lady saw the adults, she ran.
“Kiri! Tamaki!” Tohru yelled, gabbing both her girls up into a very large hug. “You’re both all right! Thank God!” Then she pulled back to inspect them.
“Was that you talking, Tamaki?” She asked, completely amazed. Tamaki nodded once. “Oh honey! If you hadn’t said anything, then we might never have found you two! I’m so glad you’re both okay!”
Kisa smiled at the happy little family, “Well, can you tell us what happened, Kiri?” she addressed her little niece.
“She said she would give us candy if we went with her. I said okay, but Tami didn’t wanna so then I said no, but she grabbed me and pulled me over here. Tami saved me! She hit the lady and the lady put me down. Then Tami yelled and you came, and the lady ran away.” After a moment she added, “I’m real sorry mommy.”
Tears were streaming down Tohru’s face. She had been so worried. What if that horrible woman had succeeded and taken her children away? What if they had died? Everyone around her would be gone…her mom, her dad, Yuki… even Akito, who she disliked, but never wanted to die.
“Lets go home, Kiri, Tamaki,” Tohru said, after getting herself together. “It’s time for me to tell you both about Japan and about your dad.”
“A-About Dada?” Kiri asked. She knew about the curse on the family, but she had never seen anyone transform. She also knew her dad was the rat, and that mommy missed him, but that was about it.
“I should have told you long ago, but we were afraid for you, Kiri, but you’re old enough now. Can you tell me the difference of right and wrong?”
Kiri nodded vigorously, “Right is taking a baby kitten out of the rain, and adopting it. Right was saving Tami from the big ocean. Wrong is hurting a baby. Wrong is trying to take Tami ‘n me away from mommy. Wrong is hurting Dada.”
Tohru smiled. “Those are wonderful examples, sweetie. And all of them were right. Do you want to meet daddy? We can go back and live in Japan, where you were born, and where daddy is.”
“Yes! I want to meet dada! I told Tami all about him, just like you told me! I told her about the zodiac too! But I dunno if she believes me. We should make Untami Momiji transform when we get back home!”
“We’ll see darling. Let’s just go home now; Mommy and Auntie are tired after all the excitement,” Kisa told the girls.
~~~~~~~~~~
“So it’s really real mommy. Uncle Momiji is a rabbit. Uncle Hiro is a sheepy. And daddy is a rat?” Kiri asked.
Momiji sat in her lap as a small and very fluffy yellow rabbit. Hiro was standing next to Tamaki, in sheep form, while she pet him absentmindedly
“Yup. Everything I told you was perfectly true. So,“ Tohru turned back to look at Kisa, “I’m ready to go home again. And stay there forever.”
Kisa smiled at Tohru. ‘But Tohru still doesn’t know the whole truth!’ Kisa reminded herself, ‘No one has told her, but she still decided to go back to Japan, so did they really NEED to tell her? Couldn’t it just be a not-so-wonderful surprise?’
‘I wish Tohru didn’t have to have so many sad things in her life, but everything always seemed to stay that way.’ Kisa thought.
‘Maybe he’ll be all better and we wont have to say anything. Please god, let Yuki be better!’ She prayed.
