Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Fading Memories ❯ chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

(Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits basket)

Kuu: Hey guys. I'm glad you liked the first chapter..I'm gonna do my best to keep it from being really boring..Since no one had any ideas for me. So I'll probably just go with what Anne mentioned.. I'll just drabble a bit, add some violence here, some fluff there. Then we'll get to the conflict. If anyone has any objections, please do tell. Or if you think of anything you'de like to see before the actual plot kicks in.

So my plan is two put in a couple of fillers, for amusement and happiness to compensate for the sad and suspensful parts.. okie dokie? And I also got a few reviews saying they wanted the picture. So I was thinking about doing a fanart of it, what do you think?

By the way, to those of you who commented on how my little HaruxYuki, KyoxKagura pun in the last chapter almost gave you a heart attack....Gomen nasai..I just thought it would be amusing...And well..It was. lol. xD So with that said, let's get to it.

Nikkler: Yeah I know I pick on Shigure alot, but how can I not? He's so pickonable! But don't worry. He doesn't get beat into a bloody pulp in this chapter.

Recap: "God damnit! There's no milk!" Kyo yelled from the kitchen. He stomped into the dining room, a scowl etched into his features.

"Uh Kyo.." Haru started but was cut off by the cat as he stormed from the room. "SHUTUP!"

Haru furrowed his brows as he turned from where the fiery redhead disappeared to the dog sitting across the table from him.

"What was that you were saying, Sensei?" All of the sudden he was feeling the need to vent some frustrations, and he had the perfect subject.

Shigure whimpered at the evil gleam in the ox's eye. He really needed to start listening to the little voices in his head that told him what he should and shouldn't do....


And right about now those little voices were yelling 'Why are you hesitating? Run you idiot!'

He immediatley decided that that sounded like a wonderful idea. He nervously shifted his gaze over to the seat where Ayame was perched, only to find it empty with no sign of the snake anywhere.

'That sneaky bastard!' Shigure pouted to himself.

How could his dear Aya abandon him like this? What was he supposed to do with Black Haru alone? Surely there's no way he couldn't defend himself, that had been proven many many times. Begging never seemed to work on the stoic teen either. It was almost as if Black Haru got some kind of sadistic pleasure from the pain and torture of others.

There was also no way he could bribe his way out of it either.

'Perhaps there's a certain word that just snaps him out of it....' The dog thought to himself. 'If that were the case it would surely be a word no one would think of..Like kumquat..Or flamingo..'

No..That wouldn't work unless he had time to recite the entire dictionary. That's of course if his theory was even possible.. Besides, who has dictionarys conveniently laying in their dining room anyway?

That only left one option.

Run for it.

Shigure prepared himself for the get away. He knew he'd have to be swift. It was to bad Tohru wasn't around. He would surely have the upper hand if he was in his dog form..But Lady Luck seemed to be feeling a bit spiteful today..

Shigure quickly hopped up from his seat. Haru must've been expecting this because before Shigure even took a step he was on his feet. Shigure froze. Running was utterly useless now. Haru could catch up with him easily... He was getting old.....

Okay..So he was lazy and out of shape..

"Leaving so soon?" The ox asked, walking around the table toward the dog.

"Uh..No?" Shigure tried, stepped back from the white haired teen.

Shigure smirked inwardly. This could be good. They were walking around the table..So as long as he stayed on the opposite side of the table..Then Haru wouldn't be able to get to him. And they could stay in that position until Haru eventually turned white again! It was the perfect plan!!

That's of course..Until Haru decided to catch the dog off guard by going over the table instead of around it.

Shigure yelped and jumped away. He really didn't want to get beat today..And to think..If he hadn't used the rest of the milk in his and Ayame's tea, then this wouldn't have happened..

"Mouu.. Haa-kun, I understand that you're feeling..Frustrated." Shigure tried to sound comforting.

"Oh?" Black Haru asked, quirking a brow.

"Ah..Yeah, and you surely don't need to let out your frustrations on me.." Shigure reasoned.

"Oh really? Then what do you propose I do?" He wondered irritably.

"Erm." Shigure thought for a moment. "Uh..Let out your frustrations on..Someone else?" He tried. He couldn't feel bad about trying to dump the demented ox on someone else. This situation wasn't entirely his fault.

Haru paused for a moment and processed the idea. There was the choice of pummeling Shigure until he felt calm again..Or 'letting his frustrations out on someone else'? Now, who else would he be able to vent on? There was Aya..But he seemed to slither out of the room without him noticing.

There was always Yuki...But..Lately, he'd been really wondering about the rat. He might actually enjoy it.. Where's the fun in that?

All of the sudden the light bulb in his head blinked to life. He felt an evil grin spread across his face at the thought. He knew exactly who he could pin his pent up frustrations on...

He looked up at the dog and gave him a slight nod before turning around and leaving the room. Shigure heaved a gigantic sigh of relief and went to take his seat at the table again.

'I wonder what changed his mind?' He idly wondered, resisting the urge to go and find out for himself. He was sure if Haru got to it, it would be obvious soon anyway. He was just glad he'd been able to save his own hyde.

Kyo stifled a yawn and continued to caress Nuku's soft hair as he lazily dozed on the cushion beside him. After leaving the kitchen, he'd decided to just relax on the couch for a while. He wasn't really grumpy or mad at anyone. He had just gotten kind of irritated that everything seemed to be going wrong that morning..

He hadn't got to sleep in like he'd wanted, then he found Shigure being a pervert and taking pictures of him cuddling with Haru in bed......Then there was no milk for him to drink and relieve his stress..He hadn't meant to snap at Haru, though. He knew that the cow had only been trying to calm him down. He just hoped he hadn't hurt the ox's feelings, not that he was really that worried about it. Haru knew how he was, especially in the mornings.

He was brought back to reality as he sensed movement ahead of him. He looked up to see Haru standing in front of him, with a very very unnerving smirk on his face.

"Hello Kitten." He said in an unusually dark tone.

Kyo looked up at the teen for a moment, wondering what he was up to. He was using one of those tones that a person would use when they wanted something. He was about to retort but he was slightly distracted when the younger teen crawled into his lap.

Now he knew something was up. Haru didn't usually crawl seductively into peoples laps in the middle of the living room... Unless....

"Damnit. You're Black aren't you?" Kyo asked, half hoping he was wrong. The only answer he got was a playful nibble on his neck. He went to push the boy off so he would answer his questions but his wrists were caught, and held down by his sides. Haru moved slightly so that he was straddling the redheads lap, he picked his head from the nekos neck a bit.

Kyo could feel the cows warm breath trickling his ears, and willed his body to obey him.

"Well. I was about to let out my frustrations on the stupid dog..But then I thought..I'de much rather hear you scream." He whispered huskily, flicking his tongue in the cats ear.

Kyo jumped at the sensation. He was Black alright..And he was obviously in one of those moods. He had to get out of there, and fast..

Nuku hissed at the teens before jumping from the couch and racing up the stairs. Both of their gazed watched as the cat disappeared beyond the staircase.

'That's one smart cat...' Kyo thought to himself as he cuncocted a plan to get away.

"Haru, you want to get off me now?" Kyo asked sweetly. Haru sat up and bit a quirked a brow at the statement.

"Kitten, if I wanted to get off, then I wouldn't be sitting on you, now would I..?" He asked. Kyo sighed, he knew that wasn't going to work. It never did. Not that he found himself in this situation very often. He tended to avoid Haru when he was like this.

He had his reasons..

He squirmed his way out of the taller teens grasp and jumped toward the nearest exit. Haru remained where he'd been pushed and smirked as he watched Kyo leave the room. This was going to be fun.

Shigure looked up from what he was studying when Kyo rushed into the room and paused beside him with a glare.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" He screamed, pointing at the dog. Shigure quirked a brow.

"What on earth are you talking about, Kyo?" He asked. He didn't recall doing anything to the feline since he last left..

Just then Haru sauntered into the room and stopped at the opposite side of the table, smirking like a maniac. He seemed to be ignoring the dog, he didn't take his eyes off of the redhead for even a second. Shigure looked from the ox to the cat for a moment, then it dawned on him.

'So that's what changed his mind...' He thought to himself in amusement. He couldn't stop the chuckle from getting out. Kyo turned at glared at him once again.

"What's so funny? This is YOUR fault! Now I have a perverted psycho after me!" He admonished angrily. Shigure waved his hand at the neko in an attempt to say something, but he was to busy laughing.

Kyo and Haru were now circling the table, Haru trying to get close enough to grab Kyo, while Kyo was trying to get as far away from the ox as physically possible.

"Stay away from me!" Kyo told him from across the room.

"If you wanted to play tag, why did you just say so in the first place?" Haru told him cheekily. "It's much more fun when you resist, anyways. Which reminds me, I've been wanting to try out my new handcuffs...." He thought outloud.

Kyo paled at the comment. Oh hell no. There was NO way he was going to get caught by that twisted ox!

"Yeah right! There's no way in hell!" Kyo scowled. Haru just grinned.

"You say that now, but you'll be begging for it later." He announced confidently. Kyo bristled and sent a glare at the taller boy.

Shigure choked on his beverage. This was getting a little.. provocative....And he had a first class ticket! He quietly put his tea down so we could watch the little brawl.

Haru began circling the table again, intent on catching his kitten.

"Gah! Stay away from me you depraved lunatic!" Kyo screeched, making his way around the table some more.

"Oh, I love it when you talk dirty.” Black Haru replied, licking his lips suggestively.

As Kyo turned around another corner, he stubbed his foot against the leg of the table. Forgetting about the problem at hand and yelped in pain and then proceeded to jump around on one foot until the pain dissipated.

Haru however, figured this was the perfect opportunity to get the upper hand. He jumped behind the cat and poked him roughly on the shoulder.

“You’re it.” He stated with a teasing smile. Kyo glared at him and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Haru raised an amused brow at the cat and in turn, grabbed hand fulls of the nekos shirt. It was times like this that he was glad he was a bit taller, so he could use it to his advantage. He pushed the boy back onto the table with relative ease.

Kyo let out a small yelp as he hit the table, but he didn’t loosen his grip on the cows shirt. He freed one hand so he could hit the white haired teen, but his hand was restrained by one of the ox’s death grips. Haru chuckled when the redhead growled up at him.

“I didn’t know you liked it rough, Kyo. You keep surprising me.” He teased, grabbing the cats other wrist and holding them both in one hand.

“How about it, kitten? We can do it right here, in the middle of the dining room.” He cooed, snaking his hand under the older teens shirt. Kyo began to panic. This wasn’t good, not good at all!

He was gonna get raped in the middle of the table! Well..You can’t really rape the willing....And he was trying to not be willing, but it was kind of hard..Which is exactly WHY he had to get out of there!!

Kyo squirmed under the cow and looked over at Shigure, who was still watching them from his seat.

He really was a big pervert!

“Shigure! Do something!! Can’t you see I’m being molested against my own will here?” Kyo pleaded. Which was something, since he Never. Ever. Begged for help.

Haru’s hand began moving lower and lower on his body, which made him panic even more.

ohgodohgodohgod!

“DAMN YOU BOTH TO HELL!” He screamed.

All of the sudden, Haru and Kyo were covered in freezing water. Which was good and bad. It had stopped what was about to happen, yet now they were both dripping wet.. Kyo looked up to see Yuki standing there with an empty bucket. Haru shook his head, causing small droplets of water for fly all over the place.

“Ah. I’m feeling refreshed.” He stated happily. Kyo glared at the boy sitting on him and sighed. Yuki just looked at him with a detached look.

“Haru. We eat there you know..” He stated. “Maybe next time you can tie Kyo up in your own room.” He told him bitterly before turning and leaving the room. Kyo glared at the rats back as he left. Haru stood up and started walking from the room.

“I’m gonna go take a shower.” A cold one.

“Okay...” Shigure beamed. “Don’t forget, you have school tomorrow, Haa-kunnnnnn~” He added. Haru nodded and made his way to the bathroom. Kyo however was glowering at the inu.

‘If that bastard hadn’t just sat there then I wouldn’t be soaked with freezing water!’ He mused angrily. He’d have to get that stupid mutt for this later, but right now his only plans were to get some dry clothes on and sit on the roof.

Did he say things were Normal?

Things were never normal at Shigure’s house...
