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 Two: Difficult Decisions
“She…She’s the new Akito?” Tohru said in a astonished tone, “B-but that means she’ll die young too!”, and she immediately started crying into her hands.
Yuki came over to try and comfort her, “Don’t worry Tohru, we’ll just have to love her extra to make up for it.“
Then Hatori came over and informed the couple, “Actually, it doesn’t have to be like Akito. Your daughter can live a normal life if, and only if, she grows up without hate. When Akito was little he was always angry and that is what made his life extra short. I also suggest you keep her away from things that angered Akito, just in case.”
The three of them exchanged glances then Tohru said, “Yuki, go talk to the poor people in the waiting room please.“ Yuki obeyed and quietly left.
“You want me to keep her away from Yuki and the Sohmas don’t you?” she asked Hatori as soon as Yuki was gone.
“Just for a while.”
“How long? I want my husband to know his daughter too.” Tohru was trying to be polite, but the prospect of not getting to see Yuki for such a long time was worrying her.
“Look Tohru, I want Yuki to be happy too, I want you to be happy, and I want your baby to be happy. But I can’t risk hurting her. If she ended up like Akito, I would never forgive myself,” Hatori said, not looking Tohru in the eye.
“You’re right, Hatori, and I know you have our best interests at heart. I’ll tell Yuki, and then I’ll leave. Three years from now, the baby and I will come back. By the time she’s three, we should be able to tell if it worked and if she will grow up well. And if she ever gets mad, I’ll handle everything myself.”
Hatori smiled, but in a almost fake way. “Tohru, I know you’ll do what’s best for you and your daughter,” he assured her.
Tohru smiled, then left to go join Yuki and show off her beautiful baby.
“TOHRU!!!” yelled the overly excited Momiji as Tohru finally came out to talk to everyone.
“Shut up!” said Kyo, looking at the wide-awake baby in Tohru’s arms like it would explode or something, but the baby just stared out at everyone with its huge brown eyes.
Arisa and Hana both came forward to hold their best friend’s baby as Tohru had done when Hana had her set of twins two years ago. (Hana is married to Hatsuharu! So she and Arisa know about the curse). Tohru gently handed the baby to Arisa and let everyone else fawn over her, then walked away, motioning for Yuki to follow.
“Yuki, we need to talk.”
“I know Tohru, we also need to name the baby.” said Yuki, only remembering now.
“Oops!” Tohru gasped “I totally forgot! Let’s do that first.”
“What do you think of Kina or Kiri?” Yuki suggested.
“I like Kiri, it’s a very pretty name” Tohru agreed.
“So then its settled! Our daughter’s name is Kiri! Now what did you want to talk about?” Yuki asked.
“It’s about Kiri. Hatori said, and I agree, that Kiri is to grow up away from the Sohmas, so she won’t hate them like Akito did.“
“I agree,” Yuki said. “We can live in a different house than the rest of the Sohmas. We don’t need to visit the main house often.”
“That’s not it,” Tohru continued. “Akito always hated the Sohmas, but he hated you the most so I have to keep Kiri away from you, Yuki. Only for her first few years, though. By the time she’s three, I should be able to tell if she’ll hate Sohmas. Then I can bring her back.”
Yuki just stared in disbelief as tears began to fill Tohru’s eyes as she continued, “I’ll have to move away, maybe just a couple of towns over, and if I can, I’ll try to visit you. You know I love you and I love Kiri, and I’m doing what’s best for both of you.”
By now a tear was trickling down Yuki’s face and Tohru was sobbing. Both were heart broken at Kiri leaving and not being able to see each other often, knowing there would be months of time between any visit.
“Tohru… I know this is the right thing to do. But I can’t let you go that easily! I love you two more than anything else, and I can’t just forget about you and go on without you,” Yuki replied.
“I don’t like it either, but it’s what has to be done,” Tohru cried, wiping tears from her eyes. “L-lets go get Kiri and head h-home.”
Yuki and Tohru went back to the crowd, announced the name of the baby, then started for home. Before they could leave, however, Arisa and Hana grabbed Tohru saying, “We just need to talk to her for a moment!”
“What’s going on? You two should be overjoyed, but you look like someone just died.” Arisa said bluntly.
“Your waves feel sad, too.” Hana added. Everyone stared at her.
“Anyway… What’s wrong?” Arisa asked again.
Tohru quickly explained, then added, “I’ll call you two when we’re gone. I have to go. Goodbye for now.” Then Tohru and Yuki left.
“I hope they’ll all be okay,” Arisa said to Hana as they watched their best friend leave.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Goodbye Yuki,” Tohru said to the sleeping body of her husband. “I’ll miss you so much. Sorry I didn’t stay longer, but if you were awake, I doubt I’d ever be able to leave.” Then she grabbed the baby and went to her already loaded car.
“I’ll miss you,” she said into the night, then got in the car and drove away from everything she loved.
