THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE
A Fruits Basket Fanfic
Written by Miyu, Vampire Princess
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Ah, a spin-off...cause I don't think it could really pass as a side story. AU to the furuba universe, this story takes place several months following "That Fated Day". I'm a stickler for timelines. Each part is told from someone's POV or POVs. Small twist of LIME in this part. Standard Disclaimer follows story.
Part One - THE PLAN
It's simple really. Guaranteed not to fail.
It's taken me years to get to this point. Every detail carefully crafted. Every move carefully strategized. Of course things happened along the way that either helped or hindered my plan, but in the end, it's worked out in my favor.
Especially this latest development.
It's been four months since I've heard from Haru and Tohru. They eloped in a small ceremony only two months ago. Aya said the party was fantastic and Tohru looked as lovely as ever. She was wearing one of his creations after all. He didn't seem too enthusiastic though. Everything may have been well, but there was a sadness there. I think he was looking forward to Tohru marrying his little brother. Poor Aya.
Poor Yuki.
Tohru moved to Europe to live with Haru. They'd been in love for years and managed to keep it a secret. I know I'm impressed. I'd been able to predict every one of Tohru's moves, even after she left my house and went to culinary school. I even predicted her marriage to Yuki.
I feel badly for Yuki. His happiness was shattered after Tohru left. He was ill for a while, but he's recovering nicely. He's thrown himself into his work and I understand he's been commissioned to work on an overseas project that will put him in the United States for an undetermined period of time. They grow up and move away so fast!
Now if I can just get Kyo out of the house. Not that he's ever home. Hardly.
It's very romantic for people their age I think. Running away, eloping, and saying "good-bye" to the past. Throwing away everything they've ever worked for just for the sake of happiness. As a writer it's truly inspiring. I may have to incorporate this into my next novel.
But as a man, it's simply a waste. Throwing away everything you've worked for just for a moment of happiness? Even if that moment lasts forever it's not worth it. Besides, nothing lasts forever.
I have a much different definition of romance.
I plan to keep what I've worked for. THAT is my happiness.
And what I'm working for is Rin.
She's also been out of sorts since Haru left. Even more so since his marriage to Tohru. She doesn't let people know how she feels but I know. I see it in her eyes. She's hurt. Damaged and in need of healing.
And I'm just the doctor for the job.
Hehe. I'll have to tell that one to Ha-san sometime. He'll be so thoroughly disgusted with me it brings a happy smile to my face.
My encounters with Rin started long before Haru and Tohru's marriage. Well, maybe not that long ago. Haru was in elementary school and Rin was one grade away from high school. They'd been together and they'd been caught red-handed doing things that little children shouldn't even CONSIDER doing. They were punished quite harshly, too. Haru was under constant supervision for nearly a month while Rin was forbidden to speak to him.
The weeks and months that followed were pretty rough. Her heart longed to be with him but it was forbidden. Akito had threatened a lot of things...things even I don't know. Apparently it was enough. The usually defiant teens had gone their separate ways.
That's when I stepped in.
In the beginning it was simple emotional support. I could hug her, hold her. Tell her soothing things. I wanted no sexual relationship at the time, although my body thoroughly betrayed me on a number of occasions. She was beautiful, knowledgeable, and had a strength of will greater than the wall in China. I was intrigued by that. Finally someone who was a challenge for me...and believe me she's been quite the challenge! I wanted to break down her wall and see what was on the other side. It was just so mysterious that I had to be curious.
I wanted her as a possession.
But I couldn't possibly own her if her heart belonged to another.
So I started to encourage Haru in the opposite direction from Rin. It wasn't difficult since he was ready to move on. Oh his heart was still with Rin -- he's one of those true hopeless romantics -- but the pain of her memory was too heavy. He wanted to be rid of it, if only temporarily.
Years passed and the two seemed to be growing apart. Rin's wall was slowly deteriorating. While she'd never admit it, she was coming to rely on me more and more. Asking advice. Wanting comfort. It wasn't always physical -- much to my own chagrin -- but I treasured that. Her visits gave me something to look forward to on a regular basis.
It wasn't until her last year in high school that our encounters became somewhat more physical. She had blossomed into a head-strong but delicate woman. I was happy to take her to my bed. Hell, I even made the first move! Made that defining crack in her wall in hopes that it would tumble down around me.
Ah me, but I do wax poetic every once in a while.
There was no love in our joining, though. Just lust and lots of need. The need to love and be loved. It was just what both of us needed.
It was just what I wanted.
Lately, however, things have been changing. Oh our encounters are frequent, more than once a week most times. She gets flustered easily and her teasing has slacked to a minimum. She's more needy now, more unsure now that Haru's gone for good. I think she was holding out hope. And now it's gone. Her wall has finally started to tumble.
All according to plan.
But she's also been more withdrawn lately.
Definitely NOT according to plan.
She doesn't speak to me like she used to. We used to speak about a lot of things and nothing all at the same time. It often ended with my teasing and her cursing before parting ways. But even her crass words are better than the silence that looms over us after a good round of sex. If this keeps up, I'll begin to wonder if there's someone else.
GAH! What a stupid thought!
But now that I've come up with it I can't get rid of it.
No! I can't lose her! My mind screams at me. My heart aches at the very thought. She wants me. Needs me. And I want her. NEED her.
Wait a minute. When did I come to rely on HER?
My heart pinches again and I feel a bit sick to my stomach. My head spins and I have to close my eyes to the rush of images inside my brain. Some of them pleasant, others leaving an awful taste in my mouth. My chest clenches and I find it difficult to breath.
Am I having a panic attack?
Or am I falling in love?
By Kami--!
"Shigure? What time is it?"
I look over at the girl lying beside me in bed. Her dark hair cascades down her back as she sits up on her elbow, facing away from me. Her voice is groggy, still sleepy. Her skin glows in the dim light of the moon through the window as she turns to me with heavy lidded eyes.
"After midnight," I tell her, brushing a few stray hairs from her eyes. My body is once again relaxing, although the ache in my heart still lingers. I ignore it though and offer Rin a sly grin. "Surely you can stay a little longer."
She shakes her head, not wanting to meet my eyes. Is she afraid of what she'll see there? I know I am.
"I should go."
Shadow and light play upon her naked form as she slips from the covers. I stop her however from leaving the bed. Grabbing one arm I pull her closer to me, nearly on top of me. She tries to pull away, but I use my other hand to secure her around the waist. She's not going anywhere unless I tell her.
And I'm not ready to let her go.
"'Should' doesn't mean you have to go."
"There are things I need to do tomorrow Shigure...."
"Then you can do them tomorrow," I reply easily. She's trying to offer excuses and I won't here any of them. Not tonight. I turn on a smile that probably looks more like a smirk. "I'm more concerned with what we can do right now."
There's a spiteful fire in her eyes, but she begins to relax in my arms. "Insatiable dog. Since when do you have so much energy?"
I answer with a light kiss. A tender brushing of lips which quickly becomes something more. Heat flares through my body and my senses become better attuned tom my surroundings. I can hear the pounding of my heart, echoed by that of Rin's. I can't help but smile.
Keeping her close I roll us both over so that we're lying side by side. My lips never leave hers as my hands begin to roam over her luscious form. The swell of her breast. The dip of her waist. The curve of her hip. The roundness of her bottom.
I feel myself reacting. Her hands gently caress my chest and abdomen. My muscles jump, happy for the attention. Then they move further down, under the sheets until she comes into contact with a semi-hard object. I can't help but groan at the contact.
Her lips trace my jawline to my ear as she slowly begins to stroke me. Nipping along my neck she moves downward to my shoulder, licking a path towards one of my nipples. Again, I'm happy for the attention, considering I'd given her plenty of attention already tonight.
Yes, it's true. I need this. I need her.
This is NOT according to the plan. Not at all.
Kami help me, I'm in love.
