Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Fly Away, Kyo ❯ Chapter 1

This may end up a yaoi fic depending on if I write more chapters or not. I got one started. This right here is a one sided Kyo/Yuki, one sided Yuki/Kyo, and one sided Tohru/Kyo&Yuki. You’ll see what I mean

I do not own this song or Fruits Basket.

Lyrics

*Kyo singing*

'thoughts'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I believe I can fly

Why was I born the cat?

I believe I can touch the sky

Why was I the one made to suffer?

I think about it every night and day

Why must I be trapped in this shell?

Spread my wings and fly away

A soul like mine was meant to soar,

I believe I can soar

To fly,

I see me running through that open door

To touch the stars.

I believe I can fly

Not to be bound,

I believe I can touch the sky

Trapped,

Imprisoned.

I think about it every night and day

My spirit's meant to run,

Spread my wings and fly away

To sprint,

To be free.

I believe I can soar

My heart hurts so much

I see me running through that open door

At the thought of being locked away

I believe I can fly

It belongs to the world

I believe I can fly

And I am a little bit of everything

Spread my wings and fly away

My heart pounds to the rhythm of life

I believe I can fly

A universal heartbeat

I believe I can fly

Pulsing, throbbing

Paining

I believe I can fly

I was meant for so much more,

For so many great things

I just know it

I used to think that I could not go on

And it's not fair

Why's that damn rat so loved?

What makes him so special?

And life was nothing but an awful song

I'm so much better than him.

But now I know the meaning of true love

Stupid he calls me

Dumb

Baka neko

What does he know?

I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

He doesn't see what I see,

Hear what I hear,

Feel what I feel.

If I can see it, then I can do it

Compared to me,

He's blind, deaf, and numb.

If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

What can he really do anyway?

I believe I can fly

I could do anything

Anything at all

I believe I can touch the sky

If they'd give me a chance

I'd show them all

I have greatness in me

I think about it every night and day

I've got so much potential

So much to live for

Spread my wings and fly away

I don't ask for much

Just a chance

I believe I can soar

To live, to love

To be allowed what everyone else has

I see me running through that open door

It's late

As I lay on the roof watching the stars

I believe I can fly

Everyone's asleep

It's time for my one comfort

My one joy outside of martial arts

My singing

I believe I can fly

I'm glad everyone's asleep

I wouldn't want anyone to hear me

I believe I can fly

Especially him

Yuki

That damn rat

I believe I can fly

He would just laugh

Mocking me 'til I can't take it anymore

It would kill me

*See I was on the verge of breaking down*

I close my eyes and drift

Until I far away from here

On stage

*Sometimes silence can seem so loud*

There a crowd in front of me

Smiling, happy

Loving me

*There are miracles in life I must achieve*

I hear their calls

Their cheers

*But first I know it starts inside of me, oh*

They are the only ones

Who care for me

Worship me

*If I can see it, then I can do it*

But it's empty

Hollow

False love

*If I just believe it, there's nothing to it*

Because his not there

He's never there

No matter how much I want it

How much I hate it

He'll never be there

*I believe I can fly*

Damn it Yuki

Why'd you do it?

And how?

How did you make me fall for you?

*I believe I can touch the sky*

You're rude to me

You yell at me

You hate me

*I think about it every night and day*

And I love you

A little more each day

Until I can no longer stand it!

*Spread my wings and fly away*

Why do you do this to me?

Why do you have to be so beautiful?

So kind to everyone but me?

So perfect?

*I believe I can soar*

What can't I get you out of my head?

Out of my dreams?

Out of my life?

*I see me running through that open door*

Just leave me alone

~Stay with me~

*I believe I can fly*

Stop watching my every move

~Notice me~

*I believe I can fly*

Just end this

*I believe I can fly*

Now

Please

*Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh*

Someday

*If I can see it, then I can do it*

Someday I will beat you

*If I just believe it, there's nothing to it*

Then I really will fly away

*I believe I can fly*

Someday I will soar

*I believe I can touch the sky*

Above the clouds

*I think about it every night and day*

Past the sea

*Spread my wings and fly away*

Beyond the stars

*I believe I can soar*

'til then I'll sing

*I see me running through that open door*

And I'll dream

*I believe I can fly*

And I'll love an angel

*I believe I can fly*

Who would never want me.

*I believe I can fly*

*******POV Change (Yuki)*******

A mop of silver-gray hair emerged from the wrap of blankets as the soft sound drifted through the open window. 'He's singing again.' The violet-eyed boy thought as he climbed out of bed. 'God, he has the voice of an angel.'

Yuki silently crossed the room to his window. He leaned against the sill and closed his eyes. Every night this happened. Kyo would climb to the roof to watch the stars, or listen to the woods, or maybe just think. Waiting until all was quiet and everyone was asleep. Waiting to sing. Then Yuki would wake, and listen, and weep.

As Yuki listened to the sweet smooth words of the other boy, he began to drift on sea of dreams and memories. The first time they met. The games they could have played. The last fight they had. The feel of him, safe and protected, in Yuki's arms. The night Kyo ran from Tohru and he followed.

He'd told Kyo to stop running then. Now though, hearing the cat sing of flying away, he realized that was more for himself than Kyo. He didn't want Kyo to go and leave him here. A tear slipped down his cheek as he turned his face to window.

'You will fly away Kyo, someday. And when you do…When you do, take me with you.' He started sobbing softly, without noticing the singing had stopped.

*********POV Change (Tohru)********

Tohru couldn’t sleep. She was sitting at her desk, her head resting her arms. Her eyes tried focusing on her mother picture. 'Oh mom! What am I going to do.' she sighed despondently. Kyo, she knew, was spending the night on the roof. She couldn't remember the last time he slept in a bed. Yuki was probably having nightmares in his room. He really didn’t seem to be getting much sleep lately. She sighed again.

She loved Kyo and Yuki so much. Shigure and the others too, she had to admit; but not the same way. She could never choose between the cat and rat. 'And I might not have to.' That wasn’t a comforting thought.

Knowing Kyo would be locked up soon, for the rest of his life, made Tohru feel sick. Especially since there was little she could. If the curse wasn't broken by spring…

Worse though, was the fact that Kyo was obviously in love with Yuki. Not so much bad for her, she loved Kyo and Yuki enough to be happy for them. But…Yuki. He was hard to read sometimes. She couldn't tell what his inner emotions truly were.

What ifs kept running through her mind. What if Yuki felt the same way, and Kyo went away never knowing because they were both to scared to admit it? The idea of the cat living his life so alone and so mourned was to sad. Or what if Kyo did get up the courage to tell Yuki, only to be shot down? The rat could be incredibly cold and cruel at times. And what if Akito found out? The head of the family was extremely jealous and volatile. How would he react to the hated cat being in love with the prized rat? “Oh mom, I just want everyone to be happy and everything to work out right. But…”

'What am I going to do about this mess?'

Wrapped up in her own worries she failed to notice the soft footstep heading to the far end of the roof.

*********POV Change (Shigure)********

Shigure sat at his desk, delicately weaving the webs of romance and passion that tangled the men and women who lived only in his mind, and between the pages of the books he wrote. He worked blissfully unaware of the real life drama happening under (and above) his roof. That is until he heard the sudden sounds of running feet, followed by a sickening thud and the twin screams of “Kyo!!”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

No Kyo isn’t dead. If I write more you will find out what happened and why. I just not sure I want to write more or not. I do have other projects that need to be done. Plus I’m not sure I can keep up the angst for a full multi-chapter story. I tend to go happily ever after rather quick. And that would ruin this first chapter.
