I do not own Fruits Basket or any of the characters. However Those I've made up are my own creation.
================================================================
Wind coming through the trees rustled the fresh laundry that hung on their line. It was the end and beginning of new things for everyone in Souma Shigures house. Tohru was removing the clean clothes from the line and folding them into the basket she had placed in front of her. She almost had gathered all of the laundry before Yuki and Kyou started to spat downstairs. Tohru leaned over the railing of the balcony to see Kyou flying out from the living room. He landed with a loud thud and was bleeding.
"Kyou!" She yelled and dropped the sheet she had folded. Tohru ran down the stairs, and grabbed some bandages on her way out to Kyou. He was concious and was trying to stop the blood from his concussion.
Tohru sat beside him and asked if he was alright. She then proceeded to clean the cut. Yuki and Kyou had been fighting more constantly within the last month. Tohru knew why. After graduation the tradition of sealing away the cat would occur. Shigure was complaining about the second destroyed fusu within the day.
"My house! I'm going to be homeless by the end of the week!" Shigure then sighed. Yuki was standing on the porch staring over at Tohru who was finished nursing Kyou. She had a very concerend, but beneath that look there was something that tore at Yuki from within.
Yuki went to help Shigure clean up the damaged fusu. Kyou and Tohru came to help as well. Tohru went into the kitchen to get the rice paper to repair the many holes. Shigure sat down and let out a little sigh. The damage was too severe to save the fusu.
They resorted to use a makeshift fusu until a new one could be put in. Kyou went upstairs to his room and asked not to be disturbed. Yuki and Shigure sat downstairs as Tohru went to finish the laundry. She finally had folded up all the laundry and proceeded to put it away. A few of Kyou's shirts were in the basket, and Tohru went towards his room to give them to him.
She gave a little knock on the door, but no one answered. Thinking he must be sleeping she opened the door silently. Tohru quietly entered, but Kyou was not sleeping he was changing out of his dirty clothes from the fight. Kyou had his back to Tohru who had a full shot of Kyou in his underware.
He heard the motion of Tohru in the room and he turned around. Tohru turned around with her face in a bright hue of red. "Gomen-nasai Kyou-kun! I thought you were sleeping!" Tohru stammered from her embarassment. "I came in to leave your clean shirts for tommorow." She held out the shirts for Kyou to take them. Kyou had managed to get his pants on, and went over to get the shirts from Tohru.
He muttered a thanks and put one of the shirts on. Tohru still stood there with her back turned to Kyou. He placed his hand on her shoulder, she jumped slightly from is touch.
"It's okay now." Kyou said. Tohru turned and faced Kyou. She had her hands in an almost prayer like position. She stared up onto his face, he smiled back at her. The ringing of the phone from downstairs echoed up into the stairwell. Yuki was the one who answered it. It was Tohru's grandfather.
He went upstairs. Yuki went looking for Tohru when she nearly bumped into him leaving Kyou's room.
"Honda-san, your grandfather is on the phone for you." Yuki told her.
"Hai, thank you Yuki-kun." Tohru said, then she headed downstairs. Yuki watched her until she was out of sight. He then went to Kyou's room. He leaned with his arms crossed in the doorway. "What do you want rat?" Kyou spat at Yuki.
Yuki just stared at Kyou and a slight smile spread across his face. "I want nothing from you cat." Yuki replied. Tohru's voice could be slightly heard from downstairs. Yuki tilted his head towards the direction of it. "It is more of what we both want."
Kyou gave Yuki a nasty look. "What are you getting at?"
"Tommorow is your final day. She will not be able to be near you anymore." Yuki stopped leaning on the door frame. "However I'll be around for her."
Kyou narrowed his eyes towards Yuki. "It's her choice rat, not ours." Kyou passed by Yuki and gave him a slight hit with his shoulder as he left the room.
"I'll see you there tommorow grandfather, bye!" Tohru placed the reciever down. Her grandfather was just again congradulating her for completing highschool. Tohru felt immense pride in the fact that she had kept her promise to her mother.
Kyou came down the stairs and headed straight towards the kitchen. He did not look at Tohru as he passed by her. Tohru followed him into the kitchen. Kyou was in the fridge getting himself some milk. Tohru started to get out the pots for their supper that night. She was starting cooking earlier for she had planned a wide assortment of food for their last dinner before graduating.
She started to peel carrots and various other vegetables. Kyou had finished with his milk and came over and started to help her. Yuki came downstairs and happened to look into the kitchen. He saw Tohru smiling as she was preparing the vegetables while Kyou was helping her.
Shigure had snuck his way behind Yuki and decided to scare him. Yuki was distracted by the view within the kitchen, when Shigure made his move Yuki jumped with complete surprise. Yuki then whacked Shigure on the head rather hard.
Kyou and Tohru turned around to the commotion, sweat drops were upon their faces. Shigure had a big bump on his head and Yuki walked into the livingroom.
====================================================================
After the large supper and the dishes were done, everyone but Shigure went to bed. Tommorow was to be an early day for many of them.
Before she climbed into bed, Tohru placed the last bits of her chosen possesions she planned to take with her in their bag. She then pushed the bag underneath the bed. She lifted her mattress to revel a small envelope. She opened it up to count the contents. Tohru hoped that all that she had saved would be enough to sustain them for a while...
====================================================================
The huge crowds of people were in groups scattered around the grounds. It was just after the graduation ceremony and families and friends were congradulating the graduates. Tohru's grandfather was talking to her from aside of the others. Kyou looked over to her. She was blushing about something her grandfather had said. Yuki was with his parents who were talking to others about him. He did not have a happy look on his face.
Kazuma and Shigure were talking beside Kyou, when Tohru was finished her discussion with her grandfather she came over. She gave him a smile when she reached him. Yuki looked over and saw her near Kyou, he left his parents and joined the two.
Tohru was about to say something privately to Kyou, but Yuki unintentionaly stopped her. "Well Honda-san how do you feel after fully completeing High School?" He asked.
She let a small smile out to him. "I'm happy to have kept my promise to mother." She said. "Though, I am a little sad about this part of my life ending." Tohru looked with a depressed look on her face.
"Yes, many things ends today, but there are also many beginnings." Yuki told her, he gave a look in Kyou's direction. Kyou gave him a look back to him. "If only he knew." Kyou thought to himself. Yuki's mother noticed he had left her, she came over and dragged him back to the people she had been talking two. Kyou and Tohru were left watching Yuki stand by his parents with a miserable look on his face.
======================================================
By the time his parents and the many admirorers had left him alone, Yuki was exhausted. As soon as supper was finished he went to bed. Yuki climbed the stairs and heard the clattering of the dishes in the sink. The hallway was dark but he found his room fine. Yuki closed the door and collapsed on the bed. He fell asleep immediatly.
He had mixed images flashing in his mind as he was unconcious. There were flowers and images of a woman with small figures. When he awoke he could make no sense of what he had dreamed. Yuki finally got himself up from bed. He headed towards Tohru's room. It was still early and he wanted to check upon her as she still slept.
Crossing the hallway he came to her closed door. He cracked it open slightly and peered in. All Yuki saw was the carefully folded up sheets of her bed, and all her belongings missing. Yuki opened the door further and did a quick look around the room. Nothing of Tohru's remained. He ran out of her room and opened up Kyou's door.
All of the cats things were gone. Yuki slouched down in the doorway, and stared down at the floor.
