Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Cat Scratches ❯ Cat Scratches ( Chapter 1 )

Cat Sratches

 

I am new at this, so please let me know what you think. This is my first FanFic and very Kyo x Tohru centric. There will be spoilers from both anime and Manga especially things that occur toward the end. You have been warned! The first couple of chapters are written from Kyo's POV. The first couple are very tame, with the possibility of Limeness(not being a big fan of lemon without good Lime). Rated T or M for language. Romance

 

A/N I do not own these characters, nor any part of Fruits Basket. I just admire the wonderfully crafted world created by Natsuki Takaya

 

Kyo POV

 

Tohru and I had just walked home from school. Shigure was no where to be found and that damn rat had another one of his “important” meetings. I guess he feels he needs to prove he is better, everywhere, Home, School not to mention with the Jyuunishi. The rage starts to build in me, just thinking of that damn Yuki. I want to…I WANT TO…punch.

 

But suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I see her. My rage dissipates. How does she do that? I mean it has been happening more and more. I feel as though I am going to explode and her face enters my view. All the anger, rage and frustration just leave my body. What is it about Tohru that makes the reason I am upset just not seem so important?

 

Her face lights up as I look at her, the smile that melts my heart, the smile I long for, the smile that brings sun to my life on the cloudiest of days. I feel my body relax, my gaze held within her eyes, as I hear her say,”Kyo are you OK? You seem upset.”

 

“I was just thinking about something, don't worry about.” But I know she will. She is very stubborn that way. Always worrying about others and how to make them happy, often forgetting about taking care of herself. OUCH! That thought makes my heart ache, unbelievably so, just knowing how much of herself she gives to everyone, including me. How much she has come to be part of my life, my consciousness and how her precious heart has changed me. I feel warmth travel through my body from my chest like a tidal wave, filling every crack of my mind with only her. How could I not love her, for all she has given me?

 

OH NO..she is still looking at me, I see her waiting for an answer. I feel the heat rise from my heart to my cheeks. She has this uncanny ability to know my thoughts, I hope she was not…OH MAN, SHIT! I look away, embarrassed. “I am fine.” I finally mutter. “I'm going upstairs. I need to do homework”(a lie).

 

“Alright” my heightened hearing picks up, as I bolt away. “It is such a lovely day, I think I am going to do mine on the porch.”

 

I start to run, but suddenly I am betrayed. Itch, ITCH , ITCH! In a spot I can reach, right in the middle of back. ITCH, ITCH ITCH. I can not reach it. I look like an idiot. Trying to reach that spot. My arms are flailing around. “ARGHHH!” I yell. As I lose my balance and fall down the stairs I have already ascended, landing on my feet.

 

“Kyo are you Ok?” Her eyes full of concern as she runs to my side.

 

`I'm FINE!” I yell. Damn it did not mean to do that. “I just...” The Itch. I start flailing again. “UGH” I run to the nearest post, Scritch, Scritch. I just can not make the Itch go away.. Man, what hell would I get from that damn Yuki or worse the perverted dog if they saw me like THIS! I know I look like an idiot, but…ARG, the Itch!

 

I know she is worried, “Kyo, can I help you?” She approaches; I try to stop her from coming to close. But, she is ever the klutz. As she tries to reach to scratch with herl left hand, I reach around to keep her away with mine and we got a little too close…*poof*

 

“I am SO SORRY” She wails.

 

“I am fine…” I mutter. `Hey maybe that got rid of my…NO!' I start flailing again, this time as a cat trying to reach it. I know I look a site, almost like a dog chasing it's tail.

 

She is giggling, `Let me help you.” I feel her hand touch my back, her nails lightly scratching that spot. KAMI! My tail shoots up, but my legs buckle. Suddenly, my heart is filled with a joy I have never known and a low growl escapes my throat…no not a growl. A purr, rumbles through my body. What is this? I am fighting the urge to let her continue. But I am losing, I can not stop myself. The cat in me will not let me leave this spot.

 

This is embarrassing, letting her treat me like a neko. But right now I am a neko. I find myself lowering my body down on my haunches. The warm sun beating down on the porch and she is scratching my back. My purring getting louder and louder, I finally open my eyes to look at her. Oh, this must be heaven and I do not ever want to leave.
