-1Chapter 1
Sorry everyone, but upon reading the rest of the manga, I looked back at my story Broken Tears and writhed in disgust XD SOOO, I'm making another Fruits Basket story that will be better suited to the story :D It will be from both Kyo AND Yuki's perspective (you'll be able to tell when it's who, don't worry)
This story takes place AFTER the manga is finished!! It contains HUGE spoilers, so if you haven't finished the manga and still want surprises, I suggest waiting before you read this
Tohru looked out the window of the bus nervously on their way to the train. Kyo had talked about moving to a distant land- she hadn't realized it would be clear on the other side of Japan…
She
wondered how the others would do without her- she would be so worried
about them.
"Hey- don't look so depressed." Kyo touched her
shoulder softly to get her attention, and ran a hand through her hair
slightly, the strands whispering through his fingers. "Everything
will be alright. It will be a rough start on our own, but things will
turn out, I promise."
"I
know, I'm just worried about the others. What about Momiji? He
looked so sad to see us go. I know Kisa has Hiro to cheer her up, but
Momiji is one of the few zodiac members still single now. I think
he's lonely seeing everyone else getting together."
"What,
you feel guilty?" Kyo chuckled, and touched her face reassuringly.
"Momiji is the kind of outgoing guy who will get a girlfriend
easily. Don't worry about that." He laughed. "Besides, girls
chase after him so much he'll probably wind up like Yuki and have
his own following. You worry to much, Tohru."
"Yeah." She smiled softly, knowing all to well that she worried too much. She sat up in her seat quickly enough to surprise Kyo. "We'll be fine! I'll get new jobs, and I'll work to get us a good house, and we'll use the money Akito gave us to start off, and we'll be fine! We'll prevail!" She cheered, making everyone in the bus look at her in confusion.
"That's right, we'll be fine. That's the Tohru I like to hear." Kyo laughed and patted her on the head to calm her down. He leaned back in his seat, his knees pressed against the seat in front of him. They always made these seats too damn small. He snorted in frustration as he moved his legs to a diagonal so that they were more comfortable. He sighed in relief as the bus finally stopped, and opened its doors. Kyo and Tohru made their way out with everyone else, taking their belongings from the holding bay on the bottom of the bus and making their way to the train to Hokkaido.
"Now
you did remember to pack winter clothes, right? Sapporo is a lot
colder than Tokyo or Kyoto." Kyo looked over at Tohru as she
carried her two bags, still looking slightly nervous about moving.
"I packed two sweaters and a pair of sweatpants." She
nodded.
Kyo sighed. "You're going to need more than that
Tohru." He laughed, and shook his head. "We'll get more when we
get there then."
They
boarded the train with their tickets and sat in the plush seats as
they talked about the family and what was going on back at home.
"We'll stay in contact with them, it's not like we'll
never see them again. I'm sure at least Yuki and Shigure will call
you every week or so." Kyo said, hating to see Tohru this worried.
She always thought of other people before herself, and never made any
time for herself. It was a bad habit she was trying to encourage her
to break.
"That's
true." Tohru nodded, cheering up slightly. Yuki was currently going
to a university in Kyoto, while Shigure was staying with Akito in the
main house now- well now that the two of them were married, it made
sense for them to want to be together all the time. She glanced at
Kyo with a slight blush at the thought of marriage. He had never said
anything about it- did that mean he didn't ever want to get
married, or that it had never crossed his mind?
"What's that
look for?" Kyo smirked at Tohru's blush. She shook her head and
slumped in her seat in emberassment. He leaned closer to her so that
his breath was on her cheek. "Are you thinking about us? I saw you
blush."
Tohru
blushed even deeper, nodding ever so slightly. He chuckled and kissed
her gently on the cheek.
"Don't worry about us, Tohru. I
almost lost you once- I'm never letting you go like that again."
He said, taking her hand and squeezing it firmly to get his point
across. The memory of her unconscious on the ground, scraped bruised
and broken made him want to yell in fear and wrap himself around her
to protect her. He thought he had lost her…
"Now
you're worried." Tohru smiled, putting a hand to Kyo's face
gently. "Don't worry about me, I'm okay. I can take care of
myself too. I even lived on my own for a while- remember?"
"What,
the tent?" He laughed and ruffled her hair teasingly. "I don't
really think that qualifies- besides, you were living on someone
else's property."
"And it turned out to be Shigure's."
Tohru said happily, remembering that first hectic day… it was so
long ago now.
Time
passed in silence as they both thought about their past, and future.
What was in store for them both? Kyo was sure he could get through
anything as long as Tohru was with him, but it would still be hard
starting with almost nothing. They would have to buy a house… get a
car… run the dojo… maintain everything… and still find time
enough to keep their relationship going- for it to grow into
something even better.
What could be better though? He looked at
Tohru, who smiled sweetly to him, and he couldn't help but smile
himself. Oh yeah- it would get better, he knew that now. But he
didn't know if she would approve of that at all. He scratched his
head thoughtfully as a blush came over his face when his mind raced
with thoughts. He hated how he randomly thought these things lately,
it made him feel like some dirty old man- but he wouldn't help it.
He was a man after all, and men had their needs. He snorted slightly
and looked out the window at the bright sun in the sky as the train
sped along its tracks. Things would turn out fine- he was sure. There
was no need for him or Tohru to worry about anything, as long as they
were together and healthy.
Moving to Hokkaido! (he didn't specify which distant land he was going to, so I chose for him…) This story will have a deeper plot than now, don't worry- it's only the first chapter! More will come soon:D
