Fruits Basket: A New Beginning

Chapter 22

Momiji♡

It seemed all too good to be true. Had the devil fallen to good that fast? Or is it apart of a big plan yet to come? We drove in a limousine back to Tohru and Kyo's house who had been so kind to let us all come and sleep over. Akito sat toward the front, looking out of the tinted window in a daze. She was considered a God when the zodiac mattered so maybe she knows our true fate? I sat over next to her that snapped her from her daze.

"Something wrong Momiji?" She asked while her eyes began to drop.

"Yes well I was hoping you can tell me that what happened back there seemed way too easy..." She nodded as she began a yawn. She excused herself before continuing.

"I have known him for a very long time, in fact ever since I was given the choice- I mean since I was very young. You see we seemed like opposites, he was a good kid and I," she laughed bitterly,"I disliked anything I saw because as you know of my horrible past. He however had everything and as time went on we grew more apart. Something happened though when he discovered what he is- what he must become. He...changed." She looked sadden by something before gulping and turning to me.

"Yes it is too good to be true, we just have to wait and see." She looked away again as I found myself staring at Tohru.

Yuki and I declined staying despite everyone insisting to stay, but we felt the need to go home after all this. Yuki looked out onto our house. The street was dark now the only light post was at the end of the road which flickered lazily. I rummaged through my pockets finding the keys. I unlocked the door as Yuki kissed the back of my head.

"Looks like the lawn is going to need a trim," Was the only thing he murmured before heading into the house. We sat in the living room drinking some tea. Flashes of what a Momiji did to me clouded my vision before I shook it off. I remembered vaguely Momiji's light brown eyes turning red as the devil had shown through. I recalled the devil mentioning something to me as I went in and out of consciousness, "Wait until you wedding comes." That laugh had haunted me for many sleepless nights.

"Yuki, when will our wedding be?" I was silently applauding myself for calming asking Yuki, being how scared I am inside. I need a ray of sunshine.

He smiled at me, before taking my hands into the warmth of his.

"Machi I would marry you any day." I giggled before hugging him.

"I just need something happy to hold onto," I mumbled into his shoulder as my eyes began to drop. I yawned before slowly falling asleep as I felt being carried to our bed. Please don't leave me with my nightmares! I silently pleaded.

"I know Machi, just hold on a little longer." Yuki climbed into bed with me not caring we hadn't changed and we both drifted to sleep, together 'til death do us part.

Tohru♡

We all sat in the living room drinking tea and gazing out at the calm, quiet star lit night. We sat in our PJ's taking in the comfortable silence. Saki and Arisa sat behind me braiding my hair as I placed neatly some American movies in alphabetical order.

Kyo, Momiji, Hatsuharu and Hatori argued over which horror movie to watch and Akito kept to herself stiring her tea. She scrutinized the window as if she was paitently waiting for something.

"Akito, everything alright?" I asked she nodded weakly before the boys stacked up the horror films then setting one on the counter. Arisa and Saki peered over my shoulder; Arisa shrugged while Saki shuddered. I looked up noticing Momiji smiling at Arisa.
