Chapter 5

You're With Us

It seems a lot just happened. Saki and Arisa were wondering if Tohru was doing okay since the past few days. But she's acting like the optimistic person she's always been, though Saki doesn't believe that. She knows something is up because there are dark circles under the brunette's eyes. Has she not been sleeping well? Secondly, she's been spending less time with them, but not because of studies. It must be something else. Saki and Arisa are worried for their little girlfriend, and decide to ask her directly.

After school ends, the class leaves except for the loving trio of girlfriends. Saki and Arisa walk over to the brunette.

"Tohru, you have a minute?" the blonde asks.

"Sure, what is it~?" Tohru replies.

"What happened last night?" Saki inquires. "I hope nothing bad has happened to you."

"Ah, no, no, no!" Tohru waves her arms. "Nothing like that, really!"

"Are you sure? You seemed tired today, even though you tried to hide it," Saki says.

"Tohru, I want you to be honest," Arisa says, putting a hand on her shoulder. "What happened?"

There is a pause for about a couple minutes before the brunette finally answers.

"Kyo-kun was…having a tough time," she explains. "I don't know why, but it happened so fast. He's been keeping this secret from me and ran off. I chased after him and found out he has a troubled past. It saddened him to think about these things. So…I went over and…comforted him. All night we did just that. I couldn't help it." She looks down and clenches the hem of her skirt. "I wanted to let him know I'm there for him…and so are the rest of the Sohmas. He's not alone."

Saki and Arisa stare at Tohru. They know very well that the brunette is a sweet girl to everyone and makes people smile. She's always like this. And that's just fine. Saki goes over and hugs her.

"Tohru…" she whispers.

"Hana-chan?" the brunette questions.

"You did the right thing…" the stoic girl says. "But it still worries me…"

"Kyo-kun and I didn't really do anything except be in each other's arms," Tohru assures her.

"Yes…but you might have forgotten who you're really in love with," Saki says. "Who you're actually with."

Arisa chuckles. "Oh, Hana. You're being overprotective again. If that orange-head wants to be comforted and cared for, then let Tohru do it. I'm not against that."

"Uo-chan~!" Tohru brightens.

Saki slightly turns away. "I suppose you're right…"

"Ehehe! Hana-chan, I know you love me very much, but please, let me handle things with the Sohmas, okay?"

"Alright…" Saki nods.

Arisa pats Tohru on the head. "Now…let's go home together."

"Oh, you wanna sleepover again?"

"You bet we will~!" the former gang member says. "We want to catch up a little bit, you know?"

"I would like that too…" Saki agrees.

"Alright then! Let's go~!" Tohru hops out of her seat, school bag over her shoulder and the three exit the school to be on their way to the Sohmas.

A/N: Been a long time since I last did this. And I kinda thought to make my own adaptations using some of the scenes from the Fruits Basket episodes and then apply it to Tohru x Saki x Arisa's own story. If…you know what I mean….

If you haven't seen it, it's okay. I'm just trying to come up with more ideas, that's all. XD

A-anyways, hope you enjoyed this one. Have a nice day!
