Okay... I have changed a few details and names in this story and... *sniff* it got sold!!!!!! That's right, you heard it first! I am a PUBLISHED authur!!!! WHoooooot!!!!!! Right moving on... for those who haven't read this story yet...
There are three things you should keep in mind: 1)There is an OC but don't let him scare you. His bark is worse then his bite, so to say. 2) Tohru has brown eyes in the manga. 3) I don't own FB. I wish I did though... the would be nifty
Kyo situated suit jacket. His ten-year high school reunion, it was almost hard to believe. Ten years. Ten years since he’d seen her. Sure, he liked being a Karate Sensei, but his life felt empty without her there. Tohru had left just after graduation. She tried the keep in contact with everyone but when the two of them had spoken it felt strained. And it always seemed like Tohru wanted to tell him something. After about two years, she had stopped calling all together. Kyo grumbled. People were going to have their kids there too.
“Dammit,” Kyo growled, pulling the tie off and dropping it in the trash. He’d always hated ties.
“Are you ready to go?” Yuki asked leaning against the bathroom door jam. They had decided to share a car. It’s not like the pair of them fought the way they did back in high school. High school. Yuki thought back to graduation. Tohru had cried the day after, like she’d received awful news. Yuki stood at her door watching her pack, tears still rolling down her cheeks. She had waited until Kyo was gone before getting to work packing and was gone before the cat got back.
“Yeah, let’s go.” Kyo turned towards him.
“Are you hoping Miss Honda’s there?” Yuki asked. Kyo grunted his reply. Yuki raised his eyebrow. Something happened between them. Before she left, Tohru would have a secret smile on her face whenever Kyo was around.
The ride to the hotel was quiet. All Kyo could think about Tohru. If she would be there… if she was married. That thought made the bile rise in his throat. The car arrived at the hotel and both passengers exited. Immediately Yuki spotted Hanajima. She stood just outside the door holding a baby who was wrapped in a pink blanket.
“Miss Hanajima, How are you?” Yuki inquired politely.
“I’m fine. It’s been a while. I haven’t gone by Hanajima in a few years. My married name is Kohan” She answered in her normal low tone.
“Is this your child?” the rat continued.
“Yes, her name is Aki. My husband couldn’t make it so I brought her instead.”
“Hey, prince.” Uotani walked up next to Saki, taking the baby.
“Miss Uotani, Hello. So are you married too?” Yuki turned to the Yankee.
“Nah, Kureno and I aren’t in any rush, but we do have a three year old, Shishi. You’re related to Kureno, didn’t you know?”
“We haven’t spoken in a while.”
“That’s too bad.” Uo said sliding the baby to her other hip. “Hey it’s orange top.” She noted Kyo’s arrival.
“The kid yours?” He asked.
“No, mine’s at home with Kureno. The little one was sick so they both stayed at the house.”
“Aki is my daughter.” Saki said. “Tohru is inside. You should go see her.” Kyo stood for a moment and then excused himself to the bathroom. The three of them talked a little while longer before Aki started fussing. Saki pardoned herself and the nosy baby. Yuki and Uo were quiet a little for a space of heartbeats before starting another conversation, this one about work. It wasn’t long before they were interrupted by a boy.
“Aunt Arisa, Mom wanted to know when your coming back inside… where’s Aunt Saki?” the kid asked.
“I’ll be in soon…oh this is Yuki Sohma. He was friends with your mom back in high school.” Uo turned to him.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, my name is Nikkou Honda.” The boy bowed.
“Honda?” Yuki looked surprised. Suddenly realization hit as he closely examined the child. “Honda- kun, it’s a pleasure. I would be happy to see your mother again. It’s been way too long.” Yuki smiled as one phrase ran through his head; Kyo is going to lose it.
“I’ll go find her.” Nikkou bowed again and left.
“So Miss Honda has a son.” Yuki smiled wistfully.
“Huh? Oh yeah. He’ll be ten in a few months.” Uo said turning in Nikkou’s direction. “Tohru’s done pretty well for herself and the kid. Let’s go find Hana.”
“You still call her ‘Hana’?”
“Yeah, old habits and all. Come on.” She lightly tapped him on the stomach with the back of her hand.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
Kyo realized that maybe it was a cheap excuse to get away. But the way Hanajima, or whatever she was called now, looked at him; it made him feel very uncomfortable. Maybe she knew. It wouldn’t surprise him it she did. But the Yankee didn’t say anything so maybe Hanajima was just guessing. Kyo turned the corner and bumped into someone sending the other person flying backwards.
“Hey look out. Don’t you know where your feet are going? Don’t you pay attention to anyone but yourself?” The boy snapped at Kyo.
“Nikkou… there you are. I’ve been looking everywhere.” Tohru’s voice called from down the hall. “Thank you so much for finding him.” Tohru bowed to Kyo with out even looking at him.
“It’s been a while.” Kyo said to the top of her head. Tohru looked up so fast that she got dizzy, tripped over her feet and hit her head on the wall sconce.
Nikkou was instantly at her side, “Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine.” Tohru rubbed her head.
“Gods, you should be more careful. You could really hurt yourself you know. I guess I gotta keep my eye on you.” Nikkou put his hands on his hips and gave a long suffering sigh.
Tohru smiled, “Thank you for worrying about me, Nik-chan. Oh, this is Kyo Sohma, he’s a very old friend of mine.”
“Are you related to the guy I met outside… Yuki or something?”
“Yuki’s here!” Tohru asked happily.
“Of course he’s here.” Kyo offered his hand to her. She blushed and took it.
“Nik- chan, I need to use the restroom. Could you stay with Kyo for a little bit?” Tohru asked. Nikkou sighed and nodded. His mother smiled and left in the direction of the facility.
“So… you here with your… dad too?” Kyo swallowed. The orange hair was a dead give way who the boy’s father was. And the red- brown eyes only further confirmed it.
“Not that it’s any of your business, but I’ve never met my father and mom isn’t married. She said that both she and my father were really young and it was be for the best that he didn’t know. But you know, I’ve got mom and Aunt Saki and Aunt Arisa so it’s not all bad. Aunt Saki’s husband is nice too and so is Aunt Arisa’s boyfriend…. So what exactly was your relationship with my mom? Did you date or something?” the boy turned his red jasper- colored eyes to the cat.
“We um…” ‘… Were in love’ Kyo finished silently. This child… his child… was giving him the third degree and here he was completely tongue- tied. Where was Tohru? How long does it take to… use the restroom?
“So… what is it? Did you date?”
“Not exactly…” Kyo tried to explain this to him.
“Thank you for watching him.” Tohru reappeared like the angel of his salvation.
“We were just talking.” Kyo said giving her one of his small smirks. Aside from the fact that he was a bit of a pain in the ass, Nikkou was such a smart boy. He reminded the cat of Hiro when the ram was younger. Luckily, he had grown out of his rebellious phase.
“I’m glad.” There was something in her voice that made both Kyo and Nikkou look at her curiously.
“Hana, Uo, hi… oh Yuki! Hi… how are you? You look really healthy.” Tohru spotted the trio, plus child, down the hall.
“Why was she having trouble talking to you?” Nikkou asked Kyo. The cat shrugged. He was honestly confused.
“Let’s go get some food.” Uo said to Nikkou. The kid smiled and nodded.
“Come on, mom, you should eat. You haven’t eaten since this morning.” The boy looked at his mother with a ‘You’re not going to fool me’ gaze.
“Have I?” Tohru asked.
“You’re always so worried about me and Aunts Saki, and Arisa, you should pay more attention to yourself.” Nikkou said talking his mother’s hand and dragging her to the main room.
“In case you couldn’t tell, he’s really protective of her.” Uo said to Kyo and Yuki as they and Saki walked behind the pair.
The rest of the party was very nice. Kyo and Tohru sat next to each other with Nikkou on the young woman’s other side. Aki started to fuss again and the boy offered to take her outside. Uo asked Yuki if he wanted to dance as friends. He of course agreed. Saki excused herself to the appetizer table.
“You and I need to talk.” Kyo whispered in Tohru’s ear.
She swallowed twice before answering, “O… okay.”
“Are you still at your old phone number?”
“No… um… here” Tohru pulled a business card out of her bag. She turned it over and wrote a number on it. “You can call me on any of these numbers… but… the… number on the back is my home number.” She left it at that.
“Come dance with me.” Kyo decided he went temporarily insane. The sentence left him before he could stop it. This woman… he couldn’t afford to fall in love with her again. Tohru blushed before she nodded. ‘Just like last time,’ he mused. He took her hand and led her to the dance floor. They danced slowly, Tohru with her head resting on Kyo’s chest. There was a space between them, like always. They dance for a few songs and then Saki said that she needed to get Aki to bed. Tohru said her good byes to the boys and left with Uo and the psychic and the kids.
“You know whose child that is?” Yuki said when they got in the car. And he wasn’t talking about the baby.
“I know.” Kyo said looking out the window.
“You have a lot of explaining to do.” The rat continued.
“I know.” Kyo said again. That was all that was said the rest of the trip.
