Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Halloween Masquerade ❯ Chapter 4

Once within the school, Kyou's eyes glanced around at all the many decorations, listening to the sounds of the students making so much noise at the end of the hall, in the gymnasium where the party was being held. She looked around curiously smiling a bit as she saw how well everything had been decorated as she stepped into the gym. "Kyou lets go dance."

 

"Dance," he inquired, his head tilting a bit as he glanced over at her slowly, biting on his lip, "I... I've never..."

 

"... Me neither so we can just wing it... Or watch others..." He nodded softly as he reached out to take her hand into his, biting down on his lip very slightly. Still as he led her towards the gym to where the dancing was going on. She blushed a dark red following him her hand gripping his tightly not wanting to loose him in the group of people in the gym.

As they entered, a familiar voice came from beside the door, Kyou's hair almost standing on end at the sound of it. "Looks like we found Yuki earlier than expected..."

 

"Good I want to see what his costume looks like on him." She smiled letting go of Kyou's hand heading toward Yuki.

 

Kyou's eyes blinked and narrowed just a bit as he turned and glanced in the direction that she took off. "Damn rat... always interrupting me..."

 

She smiled looking up to the rat that was dressed as a little pig. "I like how the piglet costume came out on you."

 

When Kyou came into view of them, his eyes went wide, his lips spreading into a smirk as he felt the urge to laugh welling up. Yuki smiled a little taking her hand. "Do you want to dance Miss Honda?"

 

Kyou's urge to laugh quickly faded when he heard the words, "She's going to dance with me rat..."

 

Tohru looked back to Kyou hearing him. "Who would want to dance with you..."

 

Kyou's eyes narrowed at Yuki, hands, though gloved with thick gloves, showing that they were attempting to ball into fists, though he would quickly hide this, remembering his words to Tohru. "... I wanted to dance with Kyou, but afterwards I'll dance with you." She smiled looking between the two.

 

Kyou smirked slightly at her words and nodded, walking towards her and extending his hand, "Shall we then?" The rat glared at the cat as Tohru took his hand. Slowly Kyou began to lead Tohru out on the dance floor, his hand still holding her's very lightly as he glanced back at the rat with a grin of satisfaction, victory. She stood beside him looking to the other couples that were dancing. After a few moments of watching she wrapped her arms around his neck.

 

Biting down on his lip, he prepared to transform, but found that he did not do so. "Be careful..." he whispered as he slowly placed his hands on her hips, looking at the other couples.

 

She nodded lightly as she blushed. "... I was just trying to do what the others are doing..."

 

He nodded once more as he watched her, slowly beginning to sway as the other couples did. "This feels weird..."

 

"... We can stop if you like Kyou." She spoke softly looking up to him.

 

His head shook softly as he looks down at her with a smile, "No... it just feels weird because I've never done it before... we don't have to stop."

 

She nodded slowly. "... We just need to be careful right?"

 

His head nodded in reply to her question, starting to pick up the pace of their dance to match the other couples. She followed his graceful movements watching her feet worried she would step on him by accident. His eyes were also on her feet, worried about the very same thing. Chuckling inwardly, he closed his eyes and continued the slow dance, smiling very softly to himself. She looked up feeling comfortable now about her movements. She watched the other girls dancing their heads now resting on the boys' shoulders. His eyes found her's as she looked up, a smile spreading lightly over his lips. She watched him a dark red streak slid across her cheeks. Blinking at her blush, he looked down and away a bit, a small blush of his own forming on his cheeks.

 

"... Thank you for dancing with me Kyou..."

 

"It's my pleasure..." he whispered as the song began to wind down, nearing it's end. She looked around now curious to know where Yuki had gone.

 

Slowly he let go of her hips, "He's still by the wall I think."

 

She looked down. "... Sorry Kyou..."

 

"Our dance is over... you told him you'd dance with him," he said softly as he smiled down at her a bit.

 

"... I know, but it felt rude of me to look for Yuki." She spoke softly.

 

"It's ok," he said softly, nodding his head towards Yuki who stood by the wall, "I'll... go get us something to drink from the cafeteria."

 

"If they have chocolate cake can you bring me back some?" She looked to him smiling.

 

He nodded softly as he slowly took her hand to lead her back to Yuki, and then departed for the cafeteria without a word. She watched him leave before feeling Yuki's hand slide across hers. Kyou's form slowly traveled through the hallway towards the cafeteria, softly muttering to himself about the 'damn rat'. A few girls cornered him smiling wanting to dance with him. Kayo backed against the wall, biting his lip, "I'm going to get Tohru something to drink..."

 

"Just a quick dance." One of the younger girl's spoke up grabbing his hand.

 

"No..." he said as he tugged his hand away, "I'm already halfway to the cafeteria, and I told her I'd get her something to drink... find someone else to dance with."

 

The young girl grabbed his hand. "Please."

 

“I said no..." he said as he tugged his hand away once more and turned towards the cafeteria, "I'm thirsty..." The girl started crying her friends comforting her yelling at him now.

 

Kyou's eyes rolled as he shrugged a bit, "I told you I'm busy."

 

Tohru stayed close to Yuki following his movements. Slowly the cat made his way out of the crowd of girls, "Maybe when I'm not busy I'll dance with you, but geeze... you can't just expect me to drop everything."
