Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Can I sleep with you tonight? ❯ The cat and the yankee ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket or any characters associated with the anime/manga. Although I do own all four Dvds *wah* The anime was good but it was never finished :'( *wah*

Author's Note: Well here we are again, onto a new chapter ^_^ I was really happy with the reviews I received and I want to say Arigatou gazaimasu!!! As I said at the end of the last chapter this is going to be about Kyou & Uo and how they cope with Yuki and Tohru being together. BTW Yuki and Tohru did not do anything!!! I'm sorry I forgot to mention that before. They just slept in the same bed.

Note to...

Miyu-chan : I think he would if Ayame and Shigure were making um... lets say playful noises and Kyou is screaming in his sleep (I mean how much sound can those rice paper walls keep out anyway?) Plus they didn't do anything...

Placid Snowflake : Yea I was the same way when I first got into FB I wanted Kyou and Tohru to get together, I usually go for the more bad-boy type getting the girl. But Yuki won me over only after a few episodes... he is just so darn SWEET!!

LinBean : That's what my beta reader thought too ^_^ but I have big ideas for this fic (at least up to the end of this chapter) WHooP! I LOVE Yuki!!!

On to the fic~~~~~~~~>

Chapter two ~ The cat & the yankee

Oh hi, I'm Tohru Honda. I've been living with the Soumas for a little over a year now, ever since Okaa-san died. Although I lost my best friend when she died, I've found new ones with the Soumas. Momiji is like the Ototou-kun I never had the chance to have, seeing as my Otou-san died when I was quite little, and Kisa, she is my Imouto-chan. Shigure is like that long lost Ojisan that everyone has who is slightly more hentai than you would like, but you still love him. Kyou-kun he is my Aniki-kun and so was Yuki-kun until, that is, last night. Last night, we confessed our love to one another. But our happily ever after was short-lived.

As the sun began to peek into the window and dance across her face, her eyes fluttered open. Turning over, she saw what her heart had hoped to find there. The face of her darling prince. She had so hoped that last night had been real and not just another dream, like the numerous times before. And this time it was.

"Yuki-kun," she whispered, shaking him gently, "We have to get up."

"Just five more minutes. I'm having such a nice dream, Tohru-chan," but as soon as he had said her name, he bolted upright, "Honda-san! Nani are you doing here?"

"Well...this is my room," she said smiling.

As he looked around, he remembered what had happened the night before.

"So it wasn't just a dream," he said, looking around the room and then back at her.

"Dame, it wasn't a dream," looking away, she began to blush, saying, "I kinda I like you calling me Tohru-chan."

"I kinda like calling you that, Tohru-chan," he said as he pulled her to him, kissing her as if his life depended on it.

But as their lips touched someone began to knock on the door, although nothing else existed to them besides the other.

Knock, Knock.

"Honda-san," Kyou's voice called out, "Are you still asleep?"

Knock, Knock.

Hearing nothing, he opened the door.

"What the fuck?!" anger visible on his face.

Pulling apart, they looked up at him, surprised.

"Kyou-k," she began.

"Save it," he said, interrupting her.

Before either could say anything else to him, he had slammed the door.

"Kyou," she said, sympathy evident in her voice.

Trying to get up, he held her back.

"Let him go." he said, feeling sorry for the neko.

He had known in his heart that Kyou had also loved Tohru, although he had a hard time showing it. He had seen the way he had looked at her before. It had always made him upset to know that Kyou could have just as easily taken her away from him, but now that she was with him, he tried to imagine if the roles had been reversed. He would have felt crushed.

--------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

'I don't know why the hell I'm so fucking pissed,' he thought to himself, as he punched the door in front of him.

Tearing out of the house, he heard Shigure yell after him.

"Kyou-sama! Doushita no?" worried for his cousin, although glad he had left the house.

"Go ask the baka nezumi!" his yelled over his shoulder as he continued toward the forest.

Nearing the spot he had been only a week ago, he dropped to the ground, sitting Indian style, to think things over.

------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

This morning he had only wanted to wake Tohru up, seeing as she was usually up first, and today she seemed to be sleeping in late.

Walking up the stairs toward her room, he had hoped that she was still asleep. He had been in her room before when she was sick and if asked he couldn't say that she looked anything but beautiful when she was asleep.

As he knocked on the door, he believed her asleep, so he opened the door. What he found was something he had never expected.

There she was as he knew she would be, but as he opened the door more, he saw Yuki kissing her. He didn't know what they had done but at that moment all he cared about was that he felt as if he had lost a part of himself.

Looking up, she saw him. She sensed his anger and tried to speak to him, but he had shut her out and slammed the door in her face.

The same face he had seen everyday, the face of the girl who had become his best friend, the girl who he had fallen in love with.

------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------

"I just don't understand. She's never kept anything this important from me before, Kyoko-okasan," Uo said, kneeling in front of Kyoko's grave.

When she had been younger, she had always come to Kyoko-okasan for advice. In life, she had been her best friend and Okasan, and now in death, it still felt as if she could quell your deepest fear or comfort you during times of despair. Now, Uo had hoped betrayal was one of the numerous things that she could help with.

Leaving the school yard the day prior, Hana had talked about the newly discovered couple.

"I thought the energy I felt coming from Tohru-chan and Sohma-kun this morning held a something different in it," Hana had said, as if unfazed by the sudden news.

Uo had kept quiet, only nodding her head to assure Hana she was listening. In her thoughts, she had tried to figure out why Tohru had not told her, but sadly, she had come up with nothing. Later that night, she came up with an idea to visit Kyoko-okasan for the courage building advice she was known for.

"What should I do? Should I talk to her about it? Could it be she didn't think about telling me or is it she no longer considers me her oneesan?" at that last comment, tears began to stream freely down her face.

Swatting the unrelenting tears away, she thought of how distant Tohru had become. She, and Hana as well, had seen less and less of Tohru, and it was all because of the Soumas. The Soumas had become the ones that had replaced the old, long-lasting friendship they had once shared.

As if Kyoko-okasan was there, she felt arms encircle her from behind and someone whisper in her ear, "Just talk to her," but as the last word was spoken, the arms encircling her vanished.

Startled, she looked up, trying to find the person who had done so, but found no one. Looking at the picture on the gravestone that Tohru and her had placed there months ago, she could have sworn she saw Kyoko's smiling face wink at her.

Taking this as a sign everything would be ok, she stood and headed off to find her Tohru-Imoutosan.

------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------

Still slumped under the same tree, he heard someone approaching. Looking up, he groaned to himself.

"I just want to be alone right now. But of course she shows up."

"Kyou-Kyou?" Uo said, squinting in the noontime sun.

"Hai, what do you want?" he said bluntly, just wanting to be left alone.

"Nyo?" she literally said, seeing as she was expecting a comment about her using the name he hated being called.

"I said what do you want?" he spat, now even more annoyed

"I'm going to see Tohru-chan, is she home?"

"How the hell would I know if she's home? Go ask that mattaku no baka Yuki, he should know!"

Now realizing why he wasn't himself, she picked up the bent pocket knife as she sat down beside him, under the tree he had apparently tried to stab.

"They didn't tell you either, did they?" she asked, hoping he wouldn't try to pick a fight now.

As he looked over to her, he now saw that her eyes were bloodshot and puffy.

"Don't tell me that you were one of his Fanclub too. You don't seem like you would be one to cry over him."

"Oh..." she said, a slight blush now rising on her face.

Getting defensive, she quickly shot back, "That's not it. I got something in my eye while I was visiting Kyoko-oka..."

"No," he said, interupting her, "I didn't know. At least I wasn't the only one they forgot to tell though."

"Hai, Tohru-chan didn't tell either Hana-chan or myself that Souma-kun and her were now a couple."

As she said this, she felt as if the weight of the world had been lifted from her shoulders, she now had another who felt the same pain and betrayal she did. She sighed knowing everything would be alright, just as Kyoko-okasan had always told her.

------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------

As he walked through the forest, he looked around for his cousin.

When he had arrived at the house, only Shigure had been there to greet him.

"Where is everybody?" he had asked, missing the warm welcome Tohru had always given him.

"Momiji-kun when did you get here?" Shigure said, looking up from his morning paper.

"Just a few minutes ago, Hatori-sama dropped me off."

"Why didn't Tori-kun come in with you?"

"He had to get back to help Akito-sama with something. Where is everyone?" he asked once again, hoping to get an answer this time.

"Well Tohru-kun and Yuki-kun are still in bed, but I wouldn't suggest going to wake them up," he said, laughing to himself a bit, "And Kyou-kun ran off into the woods about an hour or so ago. Maybe you should go find him, he seemed to be upset when he left."

"Hai, I'll go find him," he said, turning to go out of the house.

As he walked to Kyou's normal spot he couldn't help but wonder about what Shigure had said.

'Well Tohru-kun and Yuki-kun are still in bed, but I wouldn't suggest going to wake them up.'

'I wonder why Tohru-kun is still in bed, maybe she's sick. I'll check on her when I get back,' he thought to himself, not really caring why his older cousin was in bed as well.

Nearing the old tree that had long since been a hiding spot of Kyou's, he began to hear voices drift from behind the curtain of trees.

One was Kyou's, he was sure of it, but the other he also knew, Uo-chan.

Making sure to be hid by a nearby tree, he listened in on the conversation at hand.

"Hai, Tohru-chan didn't tell either Hana-chan or myself that Souma-kun and her were now a couple." he heard Uo-chan say.

'Yuki-kun and Tohru-chan a couple?' he thought to himself.

Having heard quite enough of the conversation to understand why Kyou was upset, he started off for home, determined to tell every single person he met along the way about the what he had just heard.
