A/N: Was rewatching the Fruits basket episode where Yuki and Tohru visited Ayames shop and sudden inspiration struck. What if Ayame suddenly left? How would Yuki feel? Shigure? Tohru? Hatori even! This fic is my idea of what would happen.
Prologue
It truly was a miserable night.
Of course, since it was early winter, not many people expected it to be clear skies and night rainbows. But still, this had to be one of the worst nights of the season so far.
Dark grey clouds dominated the night sky as torrents of water fell continuously onto the ground below, gathering in puddles and slinking down the street in small rivers.
Sohma Ayame watched interestedly as the rain pattered against his shop window, making it difficult to see outside. He could hear the rumbling sound of thunder in the distance.
"The Gods must be moving around their furniture," Ayame murmured out loud. He smiled to himself, his golden eyes spotting a flash of light outside the window.
"I prefer to think of it as angels bowling," a feminine voice spoke up amusedly from behind him.
Ayame turned around to see his shop assistant, Mine, standing in the back doorway, wrapped up in a midnight blue trench coat and carrying a similar coloured umbrella. She tilted her hips slightly, resting her body weight on the doorframe. Turning fully around, Ayame shot her a rare, serious look.
"You're not going to brave that weather at this time of night, are you?"
Mine blinked confusedly for a moment, and then she graced him with a smile so big it made her eyes close.
"Thank you for your concern Ayame-san, but I've seen worse."
Mine's happy expression melted away, becoming a questioning look as she opened her eyes.
"You're staying late again, ne?" she asked, glancing at the clock near the shop counter, which read 11.00pm.
Ayame's eccentric smile fell into place again. "Yup! I have to finish the Haruno's dress," he pointed in the direction of the work table in the corner of the room for emphasis.
Mine glanced in that general direction, spotting a half finished dress that was situated on a spare mannequin. Her eyes returned to rest on Ayame.
"Would you like me to stay and help you finish it?" she asked.
Ayame waved his hand in a dismissing manner. "That's alright Mine-chan," she blushed happily at the nickname, "it's my project. Besides, I need some time to think."
"Aizawa-san's offer?" she guessed, already knowing the answer but having it confirmed when Ayame nodded. "Well, you know my thoughts on the matter. If you accept it, I will too."
Ayames eyes sparkled overdramatically and he reached out and grasped one of her petite hands in both of his, his long fingers wrapping snugly around hers. Like a snake...she mused to herself. "I knew you'd never leave me, Mine-chan!" he declared, an adoring grin on his face.
Mine nodded happily. "You're stuck with me Ayame-san!"
She glanced at the clock, and then looked at Ayame again, sweatdropping. "Except for now, I'm afraid. I have to be getting home..."
Ayame's eyes snapped to the clock, seeing it read 11.23pm. He turned back to her, scratching the back of his head sheepishly, but the huge grin still on his face. "Sorry to hold you back Mine-chan!"
She shook her head negatively. "No problem at all!" She made her way to the shop's front door and unfurled her umbrella. With a parting wave, she said, "call me when you've made your decision!"
Ayame waved cheerily until she was out of sight. Making his way over towards the mannequin, he took down the dress and placed it on the work table, where many fabrics of different texture and colour where situated.
Sitting down and fingering the sillky fabric for a moment, he determinedly picking up a sewing needle, and began to work his magic.
Two hours later, Mine was roused from her sleep by the ringing of her cell phone.
I'm too sexy for my shirt!
Too sexy for my shirt, so sexy, it huuurts!
And I'm, too sexy for Milan,
Too sexy for Milan,
New York and Japaaan.
I'm too sex-
Damn right, she though smugly to herself as she sat up, without opening her eyes, and blindly fumbled on her bedside table for her cell. Hitting the green button, she cut it off mid-lyric.
"'Ello?" she mumbled groggily, her voice husky and rough from sleep.
However, her eyes snapped open and a huge grin settled on her face as she heard her boss' voice.
"I've reached my decision, Mine-chan! Pack your bags! We're going to England!"
Pretty evil place to stop, ne?
Well, I figured that I'd make a short prologue before Ayame goes bouncing off to tell the Sohma clan about his offer, as that would seem pretty out of the blue.
Next chapter: Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, and Tohru find out everything about Aizawa's offer when Ayame and Mine come to visit
