Other Characters: All zodiac characters as well as Hana, Kimi, and Arisa. (And some kids)

A Fruit Basket

All Grown Up

“Tohru, come play with me!” A white and black haired child named Kagura pleaded with her amber haired friend.

Tohru turned her woeful, doe brown eyes on her familiar friend before smiling. “Sure.” She shyly said as she turned to look at her companion. “Haru, are you coming with?” Tohru asked her younger, sandy blonde haired brother.

Haru snorted. “Is that stupid orange haired kid gonna be there?”

“Yuki? Probably…” Tohru trailed off.

Kagura narrowed her eyes at Haru. “We’re all in the same freaking park, of course you’re gonna see him! He’s over in the sandbox!” She yelled as her eyes turned a steely grey.

“What pleasant electric waves.” A grey haired child said as she sighed with happiness.

“You’re just creepy Arisa.” Haru plainly said.

“Be quiet you brat.” A black haired child said as he walked up to Haru and leered over him. “Don’t say those kinds of things about my sister.” He threatened.

“Kyo, control your temper.” Another black haired child said as he pranced up and gave his little brother a wedgie. “Or I, big brother Ayame, might have to take you down a notch.” He said as he leaned over.

The children blinked before they walked away, leaving Ayame behind, and retreated to the sandbox.

“Where’s Momiji and Hiro?” Kagura asked as she looked for her white haired siblings.

“Who stinking cares?” Yuki tossed out as he ran a sandy hand through his orange hair. “At least that perverted Kyoko is gone with them.” He said as a little black haired girl sitting next to him sniffed and smiled, holding back the tears at the mentioning of her elder sister.

Kagura eyed the cocky boy before an older boy with blonde hair spoke up. “Listen punks. You had all better shut up. If you make Akito cry again, I’ll punch you all to oblivion.” He said as he leaned forward.

“I agree with Tohru, the boy one that is.” Arisa said, glancing over at her friend who was shaking his fist at the trembling Yuki. She sedately walked over to Akito and put her arms around one side, Tohru quickly doing the same thing to Akito’s other side. “Don’t make me .” Arisa threatened.

All of the children broke out in a cold sweat. A grey/black haired child cleared his throat before speaking. “Shigure! Have I got news to tell you!” He said as he jumped up and down in the sand box, rushing over to an ash brown haired child.

Shigure closed his eyes, counted to ten, and sighed before responding. “What would that be Hatori?” He asked.

“Our uncle Ritsu is coming to the main house to visit!” Hatori squealed as he waved his arms.

“How is that good news?” Shigure asked, picturing his screaming uncle who was known to climb roofs.

“Yeah.” Yuki said as he folded his arms. “That stupid guy is annoying, always apologizing to everybody. And only that perverted Kyoko knows how to shut him up!”

“Speaking of Kyoko…” Tohru, the girl, said with big eyes.

“Has my little flower missed me?” A brown haired blur cried as it knocked Akito over, hugging the small girl for all she was worth.

“Sheesh Kyoko.” Haru spat. “She’s your sister for heavens sake, not a stuffed animal.”

“Yeah!” Kyo said, his black hair ruffled in the wind. “You’re being a pervert over your own sister.”

“You’re the one thinking the perverted thoughts!” Kyoko said in a singsong voice before she turned her sights on Shigure and Hatori, Shigure sighed and Hatori grinned. “Did you two miss me?” She asked with a sparkle in her eye.

“Oh of course!” Hatori said as he crushed Kyoko in a hug.

“Hardly.” Shigure wryly said.

“Good. At least someone appreciates me, seeing how my dearly beloved sister doesn’t…” Kyoko trailed off before giving a ‘heart wrenching’ sigh.

“I did miss you sister!” Akito said as she tugged on her older sister’s sleeve.

Kyoko smiled. “I’m sure you did.” She said as she ruffled her sister’s hair. “Momiji and Hiro are coming, eventually. Only if those two don’t get themselves lost again, or if Kureno doesn’t hold them hostage to dress them up.” She sang.

Kagura colored violently. “You left them with Kureno?” She asked, fearing for her adorable little brothers lives.

Kyo looked up, violet eyes wide. “Hatori is one thing, he’s basically harmless. Just a loud busy body. Kureno… he can be down right dangerous if you refuse to play dress up with him.” Kyo said.

Ayame, who had returned from sulking, patted his brother’s black hair. “Don’t worry about it. Arisa can always use her electric waves to find them.” He soothed.

Akito looked around the tiny sandbox community with troubled teal colored eyes. “Does anyone know where Rin and Kisa are?” She asked.

“AKITO!” Came two simultaneous yells as Akito was once again tackled to the ground.

“Lets give a cheer, Rin and Kisa are here!” Two blonde haired children yelled as they did a slight dance, keeping Akito smushed between the two of them.

“Get your hands off of Akito, you dang brats!” Yuki said as he smacked Rin on the back of her head.

“Wahhhh. Kyoko, Kyo hit me!” Rin complained while her twin comforted her.

“Yuki, don’t pick on little kids simply because they are the only ones you can defeat in martial arts.” Kyoko said as she made a tisking sound.

“Hey, I can take on anyone, anywhere!” Yuki bragged.

“Then why can you not defeat Kyo?” Arisa asked from behind him. The little boy shivered before shooting her a glare.

He was about to respond when Akito was suddenly on her feet. “Mom, Dad!” She cried as she took off running. The children all looked up from their mini meeting and saw their parents approaching the park.

Akito was being held high above the ground by a black haired man who was standing next to a smiling brown haired woman. “How is my little princess doing?” He asked as he balanced her on a hip while Kyoko also took off running to meet her parents.

“Mom!” Kyoko said as she flung herself into her mother’s arms.

“How are you doing sweetie?” Her mother asked.

“I’m good. Hey Dad, today I tried to seduce Shigure again!” She said. Her father chuckled, coloring slightly, before he gave her a thumbs up.

“That’s my girl!”

“Dang it dog, she’s only ten and she’s already feeling up other kids!” Came a loud curse.

“Hey, old man, you gotta beat up Kyo’s dad! Nobody believes me when I tell them that you can beat him!” Yuki yelled as he walked over to his tall father, the one who had just finished telling off the dog. Standing side by side the orange haired father and son eyed the child called Kyo, as well as his ash black haired father.

“I still havn’t beaten him!” Yuki’s father swore as Yuki look startled.

“What was that old man?” He demanded.

“Yuki!” His mother cried as she fiercely hugged him. “I’m glad you’re doing well!”

“Eh?” The small child said as he struggled in his mother’s hold. “Get off me woman!” He loudly said.

“IS THAT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER?” His mom returned, screaming angrily.

“Way to go punk.” Yuki’s father said as he edged away from his helpless son and his violent wife.

“Ahh, what pleasant electric signals.” Kyo’s mother said as she embraced her eldest child, Arisa.

“Indeed.” Arisa said with the same dreamy tone as a slightly disturbed looking Ayame glanced at his sister and mother, edging slightly away.

Kyou hugged his father’s side before Ayame joined him, pushing his younger brother aside.

“Oh, look at that, he’s just like me!” A jovial voice said. Instantly the little Hatori looked up.

“DADDY!” He yelled as he ran towards his silver haired father. Hugging his father’s leg he turned to look at his brown haired mother. “Mommy, Kureno went off with Momiji and Hiro. Kyoko said he’s probably forcing them to play dress up.”

“I wish I could too!” His mother said as an evil look filled her face.

“Sheesh Ayame. You’d think you’d be able to control your own kids!” An angry man yelled as his white hair swiftly turned grey.

“YEAH! Kureno KNOWS they won’t be able to find their way back without help!” Little Kagura shot as she stood next to her father.

Kagura’s mother quietly put a hand on her child’s and husband’s shoulders. “Quiet you two.” She softly but sternly ordered. Immediately the father and daughter sheepishly looked away, scuffing their booted toes on the ground.

They were interrupted when two joyous shouts filled the park. “PAPA!” Little Rin and Kisa shouted as they flung themselves at their laughing father.

“Hello my princesses.” He chuckled as he hugged them.

“Where’s mama?” Kisa asked.

“She went to the store today. She’ll be waiting for us back at home after we go to your violin lessons.” Their father explained.

“YAY!” Rin yelled as she danced around.

Her happiness was drowned out by young Tohru’s curses. “WHERE IS THAT OLD MAN?” Tohru, the boy, asked as he tossed his dark blonde hair out of his face. He paused and turned around to see his quiet sister materializing at the edge of the play ground. “Hana, have you seen our dead beat father?”

“No.” Hana said as she approached her older brother. “He dropped me off with you, remember? He was so happy that he had so much time to spare.” She said as she collectedly looked around the park. “There he is.”

“Ah, with our old lady to. HEY MOM! GET THAT STUPID YANKEE MASK OFF YOUR FACE. YOU LOOK LIKE A DOCTOR!” Tohru yelled as he stomped over to his parents.

His mother glared at him. “You little brat. I have allergies and you know it! YOU inherited them!” She said.

His father laughed as Hanna appeared at his side. “He was probably just jealous of it again, Arisa.” He said as he leaned over to kiss his wife. “Don’t you remember? A week ago Hanna caught him parading around his room with it on.”

“Father.” Came a small, cold little voice as Shigure rose and left the sand box, walking towards his tall father and mother.

“Shigure.” His father said with a small smile as he lightly hugged his son, keeping his hair over one of his eyes.

“I still can’t believe you made me call him that.” Shigure’s mother said with a shiver. “It’s just so wrong on many levels.”

“Hello mother.” Shigure greeted her with a smile.

“Now, now Shigure. What have I taught you and your little friends?”

“Hello my great and wonderful mother.” Shigure said in a pacifying tone.

The air was filled with little cries and the parents and children turned to see little Tohru and her brother Haru, still waiting in the sand box.

Akito jumped off her father’s hip and scrambled to the young girl’s side. She carefully embraced little Tohru before speaking words of comfort. “Don’t worry Tohru, your daddy and mommy will be here soon.” She said in a soothing tone as she smiled.

Haru glared at her. “Whatcha doing to my sister?”

Akito grew a little pale. “Oh, I’m sorry, did you want to hug her?” She asked.

Haru let out a suffering sigh. “You are honestly the most idiotic being on the planet!” He yelled.

“Haru, don’t say that to little Akito.” Came a quiet but firm voice. Haru and Tohru looked up and grinned before they sprinted toward their waiting parents.

“Mommy!” Tohru said as she was scooped up into her mother’s arms. Admiring her mother’s amber colored hair, the same color she had inherited, she turned and waved to Akito who smiled before walking back to her father.

Haru snorted and stood next to his father as they both watched Akito and her mother with a small amount of dislike, but admiration at the same time.

“So we’ll all meet here, the same time, same place, next week?” Akito’s father asked.

The parents looked around and nodded their heads in agreement before they dispersed and chatted a bit, waiting for little Kureno, Momiji, and Hiro who all eventually reappeared. They then each went their separate ways, toting their children with them.

“That was fun.” Akito said with a smile as she rode on her father’s shoulders. “Everyone was happy.”

“I can’t wait for high school.” Kyoko sang, forgetting the fact that she had just recently entered middle school with Hatori and Shigure.

Their parents smiled and exchanged glances as they walked through the woods, coming upon their home.

They bustled about after entering, Akito helping her mother make dinner while Shigure and Kyoko joked around and read the newspaper in the next room. The father and daughter then cleared off the table after eating their dinner with great gusto. The little children then hopped off to bed, leaving their parents alone.

“It’s always so good to see everybody, and how happy they are.” Their mother said with a smile.

Her husband grinned. “Nobody is happier then I am when I’m with you, my flower, my Tohru.” He said as he leaned over and kissed his wife on the lips.

Tohru smiled. “I’m happy too. But we owe them all a great favor. After all, you and I wouldn’t be together, Shigure, if it wasn’t for Mayuko.” She said, thinking back to the time when her relative had only been her teacher. “I still can’t believe that she and Hatori named their child after you.” Tohru giggled.

“Yes, well I was excited at first!” Shigure airily announced. “But then when I found out that little Shigure is, well to be frank, exactly like his father, I was heartbroken!” He said, feigning sobbing. “He just doesn’t have the same joy of life that my little Kyoko and Akito have.”

Tohru laughed. “When I think about it, it wasn’t just Mayuko that got us together though. Everyone had a part in it.” Tohru said as she furrowed her brow.

Shigure laughed. “So? We returned the favor! It was you who set up Ayame and Mine. Mind you, their children are a bit out going and Kureno has a rather odd fetish for clothing. Like son like mother I guess.”

Tohru grinned. “Do you remember when Rin and Haru finally got back together?” She asked.

“How could I? Rin kept popping out kids, I don’t know how she did it! Raising a violent Kagura as well as keeping track of Momiji and Hiro! Why did she name her son after that little brat anways?”

“Because Kisa made Hiro name their second child Haru.” Tohru reminded him.

“Ahh, that’s right.” Shigure said with a smirk. “Kisa was also able to claim your name for her little girl.” He said as he remembered how everyone, who had wanted to name their first child after Tohru, had fought until Kisa burst out into tears, making them all feel bad. “All, I guess, except for Arisa.” Shigure mused.

“Hm?” Tohru asked.

“You know… Arisa named her son after you too.”

“Well it is typically a boy name.” Tohru admitted.

Shigure laughed. “Well, that’s not what I meant. But it is rather funny, to see such a violent little boy named after you, my sweet Tohru.” He flirted.

“Don’t forget, Tohru isn’t Arisa’s and Kureno’s only child. They also had Hana. She’s a lot like her dad.” Tohru said with a fond smile.

“Yes, I suppose so.” Shigure said with a half smile.

“Little Kisa and Rin are so cute. I almost wish that I had twins.” Tohru said with a hum as she remembered Momiji’s twin daughters. “Kimi wasn’t there tonight though.” Tohru said with a frown.

“If I remember correctly, Momiji said she was going to the store.” Shigure added.

“Ah, yes. That makes sense.” Tohru said with a smile. “Momiji and Kimi are so cute together.” Tohru dreamily said.

“Admiring your own handiwork I take it?” Shigure said with a smirk.

“What do you mean?” Tohru asked, thoroughly confused.

Shigure snickered. “You were the one who set up Momiji and Kimi!”

“I didn’t do much, I just gave them a gentle push in the right direction. But either way, I’m glad their together. And I’m also glad that his mother remembers him.” Tohru said with a fond smile. It had always broken her heart to see her friend watch his mother from a distance.

“Yep. She even accepted him before we broke the curse. Now little Momo, who isn’t so little anymore, gives Kisa and Rin violin lessons!” Shigure triumphantly said.

“Oh, Shigure! Did you see how little Yuki has grown?” Tohru squealed. “Kyo’s grown too. Don’t you remember when those two were born? It was on the same day, and Kyo and Kagura were in the room directly next to Yuki and Hana! It was Yuki who decided to name his son Kyo, and Kyo who decided to name his son Yuki!” Tohru said as she laughed with delight, remembering the scene when the two proud fathers told the family their sons’ names.

“Ah, but now you are forgetting Arisa and Ayame, my dear Tohru, Hana’s and Yuki’s other children. I’m surprised, Arisa is disturbingly like her mother.” Shigure said as he shivered, picturing the black eyed girl and her mother.

Tohru smiled. “And all that’s left is us! Kyoko was named after my mother, and Akito after the family leader.” She said with a soft smile as she remembered the previous Akito’s last words.

“Live, Tohru. Live and make the others love to live. It’s my fault they’re this way. It’s all my fault. Open their eyes Tohru, free them…”

Shigure, guessing what his wife was thinking about, sighed. “Akito had a miserable life. She hated and loved us, just like she hated you in the beginning. But in the end, she loved you too. You gave her the joy of life Tohru. Even if it was for her last four days, she died happy.”

“She told you how to break the curse.” Tohru said with misty eyes.

“That she did my little flower.” Shigure said with a grin. “Who would have thought, that to free us all, all we had to do was accept Kyo! It’s astounding! Although it was rather hard to get that cat and rat to become friends.” Shigure said with a frown.

Tohru laughed. “I remember, they were leaving for college and you made them be roommates.” She said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

Shigure looked downright pleased with himself. “Oh yes, that was such great fun, listening to them fight when they came home.”

Tohru smiled and leaned over to hug her husband, happy when he didn’t transform. “I’m going to check on the children before I go back to bed.” She said as she stood.

“I’ll come with.” Shigure said as he followed his wife into the shared bedroom of Akito and Kyoko. (The two sisters would have it no other way.) He watched his beautiful children who were peacefully sleeping in twin beds. Shigure closed his eyes in contentment as he wrapped his arms around his wife’s waist.

“This, this is bliss.” He thought.

Kyou & Kagura – Yuki

Rin & Haru- Kagura, Momiji, Hiro

Uotoni & Kureno- Tohru (boy) Hana

Yuki & Hana- Kyo, Arisa, Ayame

Tohru & Shigure- Akito, Kyoko

Kisa & Hiro- Tohru(girl), Haru

Hatori & Mayuko –Shigure

Ayame & Mine- Hatori, Kureno

Momiji & Kimi - Rin, Kisa

Ritsu (Not married.) (I ran out of female characters, plus I couldn’t think of anyone who would be a good match for him.)

Anyway! How did you like it? Yes, I know I didn’t focus much on Tohru and Shigure, but I wanted to have a cute little fic with the Zodiac characters and their kids! (I purposely made it start out with kids who look TOTALLY different then their namesakes just to throw you off a bit. I was hoping you guys would be able to tell whose child was whose.)

The next one-shot will probably be Tohru X Hatori unless everyone demands a different pairing. That reminds me, Tell me what pairings you want.

In store is Tohru X Kureno, Tohru X Momiji, Tohru X Haru, and perhaps a Tohru X Yuki and Tohru X Kyou.

PLEASE REVIEW!
