The Angel's Wish (Fruits Basket)

38-That Can't Be Right.

"It doesn't make sense." Rin said. "I woke up and was lying down. I'm sure I fell asleep sitting."

"Sitting up?" Tohru blanched. "That doesn't sound very comfortable. Well, maybe Master noticed and laid you down."

Amira looked over at Tohru. She had come to visit Master, hoping to wish him a happy new years. Though she had been surprised to see there were two other guests there, them being Amira and Rin. Nevertheless, she was excited. But it had lead to a bumped head. And a slightly upset Rin. But eventually, Rin returned, and they talked.

"No, that's impossible. It would've woken me up for sure. No one could've touched me."

"You don't think even Hatsuharu?"

"Haru would be different."

At Tohru's words, a dark aura quickly surrounded Rin.

"What makes you think there's something between me and Haru?"

While Tohru squeaked in fear, Amira just made a blank face.

"Who was it? Who opened their mouth and spilled it?!"

She suddenly pointed accusingly at Amira.

"Was it you?!"

Tohru waved her hands frantically.

"No it wasn't her! It wasn't anyone in particular, in fact. Um...I mean...I uh...."

Tohru then beamed.

"Ah! I know! It must of been a flash of woman's intuition."

Rin calmed down as she glanced at her.

"Somehow it seems unlikely that's a gift you actually posses."

Tohru shrunk as tears rolled down her cheeks, and Amira patted her shoulder.

"Whatever. Just don't mention his name to me again. We're not together anymore."

Tohru and Amira stared back at her.

"I see." Amira spoke.

Suddenly, from behind them, the door opened.

"Ms. Honda? Amira?" Yuki asked. "Oh...I'm sorry, am I intruding?"

Quickly, Rin left through the open door.

"No your alright." Amira said. "We were just talking to Rin. So, what brings you by?"

"I came to say happy new year." Yuki smiled. "I hope it's a good one."

"Same to you." Amira said.

"Same to you!" Tohru smiled. "I hope..."

Then her eyes drifted to Yuki's forehead, and it had a bandage.

"Your forehead! Are you hurt?"

Yuki's hand drifted to his head.

"Oh it's nothing. A little cut." Yuki said.

Amira stood up, walking over.

"From...what?" Amira said. "What happened?"

"Akito. I stood my ground and payed the price for it. And well...to be honest, I was pretty terrified. But..."

He leaned forward towards Tohru with a smile.

"...I bet your proud of me, aren't you?"

Tohru's eyes widened, before she smiled softly with a blush.

"I am."

Yuki smiled back at her softly.

"And me?"

As they turned, they saw Momiji was crouching at the doorway.
