Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Release Some Tension ❯ Can we ( Chapter 1 )

A/N: I just got my computer back, so I'm shooting out new stories and updates left and right. ^0^ but on top of that I have editing to do so for those of you who follow my YukinaxHiei fics and liked Back At One fic, I am editing it to make it suitable for FF.Net.

Oookay, on with the story,

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, its characters or the song `Can We' from the album Release Some Tension.

Inspiration: My inspiration this time was SWV's album Release Some Tension, but mainly the song Can We. This is a beautifully put together album; I treasure it most out of all of my CDs.

Summery: Its that time again! The Soma family is having one of its annual New Year gatherings. But with the coming year also brings new drama and memories, Tohru will decide who will be the one she loves.

Release Some Tension

Chapter1: Can We

The rain was pattering on the roof; it was coming down gently at first but over the hours grew heavy & rapid. Tohru Honda sat beside the window side, rubbing her hand against the glass, smearing the mist with the warmth of her palm. "Yuki, it's coming down pretty hard out there. Are you sure it's safe for you guys to walk to the main house"?

Yuki Soma stopped ruffling a towel through his silver-violet hair. Water trickling down his neck from his wet mop top. Pausing to talk with a genuine smile "Yes miss Honda, its safe. Thank you for your concern thou-". Before his lips could part again to finish the sentence, he was interrupted.

"Yeah, yeah just chill out. You worry way too much". Yelled out an orange haired boy, slamming the refrigerator door.

" Oh hello Kyo"! She turned in his direction with a wide smile, folding her arms in her lap. "Did you want me to re-heat you some curry from last night, before you leave". She gestured,

"Nah, there's no need I ain't goin' nowhere". He told her walking back up the stairs, the wooden floorboards creaking with each step, beneath his feet.

"What are you rambling about? Of you're going, we both ditched last year! What's the excuse now"! Yuki questioned, his lavender eyes narrowing at his rival.

"Just what I said, you dumb rat! I don't need to explain myself to you". The zodiac cat turned swiftly, his brows arching in anger.

Tohru sat observing the growing conflict between her two roommates. Not wanting them to bicker she shifted to her feet, clutching her to her chest. "Kyo if its me you're staying for, please reconsider, I don't want to miss out on my account". Things that she says like this, is where her naive spirit shows.

"hah"! Yuki and Tohru heard bellow from the other person in the room, " Don't flatter yourself, I'm not stayin' cause of you! I just don't wanna run into Kagura"!

"Oh, that's true. I'm so silly". She knocked her head lightly with her fist,

"Kagura or no Kagura you have to go Kyo! You'll just have to deal". Yuki told him, dropping the used towel in the laundry hamper.

"I can't deal with her lovey dovey junk, she'll drive me to my breaking point"! Reincarnated cat hissed venomously,

" Kyo, you know that's not it." Yuki yelled back, "You've dealt with Kagura for years, one New Years won't kill you, and its not like I wouldn't rather be here, spending new years with Ms. Honda again, but Akito won't have it"! The zodiac rat argued shifting his eyes from Tohru, then back to Kyo.

She giggled timidly, a faint pink tainting her cheeks. " Oh Yuki I-", The orange top fired back before the rest of the sentenced was finished.

" I told you damned rat! Its not Tohru I'm stayin' for, its myself! I won't be caught dead at the main house, I ain't going"! The two teenagers fought endlessly like an actual cat and mouse.

Tohru blinked repeatedly observing the predicament in front of her, was Kyo really staying for her? Or was it really just to escape Kagura who proclaimed her undying love for him, every chance she got. She shook her head back into the current reality, " Fine you ass, stay and get burned by Akito! It's not my problem."

Kyo and Yuki both stormed off in different directions of the house; both fuming anger from the previous argument. "Okay", the young girl sighed heavily. When they fought, there was always thick tension in the room, it was so overwhelming.

Shigure masked on one of those cheery annoying faces that just seemed to cause more irratince between Yuki and Kyo. Slipping on his long trench coat whispering to himself, somehow meaning to let others hear. "Guess Yuki was right, Kyo really isn't going. Our little Tohru better be careful, alone in a house with a pervert."

Roaring out in rage, grabbing Shigure by the collar roughly. "Shut it! You bastard you're the perv"!

Yuki and Tohru sat at the table sipping on some warm tea, Yuki watching with disgust and Tohru staring with her usual naive look, hoping there'd be no injury.
