Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ The Difference ❯ One-Shot

I hope that nobody has used this song yet. Thanks to Matchbox Twenty for inventing this song *thumbs up*

Slow dancing on the boulevard feel the

Quiet moments while the city is still dark

Sleep walking throught eh summer rain in the

Tired spaces you could here her name

I hugged my knees and stared out the windows, watching the rain fall. So He chose her after all? It makes me wonder why, really. We shared so much with each other. And He told me He loved me. How can I possibly believe him after what he does now. I looked down at my stomach. It doesn't look like it's changed much, but I know it has. There's something in there now. And it's not his.
*Flashback*
Kyou held her in his arms, rocking back and forth, stroking her hair.

"Ssh, it's alright Yumi. Everything is ok. You can't be hurt anymore," he whispered quietly into her ear. She let out another shudder to try to calm her tears. Her own arms were wrapped around his torso, feeling that chest to chest wasn't close enough. He seemed so distant now that he had done it again, except on a higher scale. Hatori stepped into the room.

"Kyou I love you," she whispered, scared. She kissed his cheek longingly, knowing that it might be the last time she did it. He smiled and kissed the top of her head, which was the only thing he could kiss without hurting his neck.

"Don't be scared, what's wrong? I love you too Yumi,"

"Kyou, I need to speak with you a moment." Hatori's voice was like a rock in Yumi's stomach, draggging her deeper into the oceany abyss of loneliness and death. She would die without Kyou. Reluctantly, she let go of him and he did likewise, kissing her cheek before hurrying out to greet the ryo's command. She hugged her knees to her chest as she watched.

Hatori was talking with quick hand movements, talking in a shushed whisper. She saw the look on Kyou's face as he grwe from confused to enraged, glancing at her occasionally. When Hatori said one word, which Yumi understood to be `pregnant', Kyou burst.

"Pregnant! But how could that-she even said she didn't have sex with Akito! How can she get pregnant?" He glared at Yumi. If looks could kill, she'd be 6 feet under right now. She felt the old tears welling up in her eyes; she clutched her knees closer. Kyou's footsteps seemed so far away as he stormed to her. He pointed an accusing finger at her.

"First you lie, then you get kinky with the head of house, who I so happen to hate. I can't bear to look at you." With a turn of his heel, he paused and looked down at his shoes in anger. "I thought you loved me too Yumi. I really did." He sprinted out of the house, wishing she wouldn't see the pain he suffered at those words as well.

*End Flashback*

When she was warm and tender

And you,held her arms around you

There was nothing but her

Love and affection she was

Crazy for you now she's

Part of something that you lost

My tears spilled onto Yuki's sheets. I shared a room with him now. It was too painful to sleep in a room where once you'd shared the most passionate night of your life and realizing you couldn't even talk to the person next to you without bursting into tears or getting the cold shoulder. I hugged my knees closer as I heard Tohru call my name. I wanted to hate her. To kill her and shun her as I've learned to shun Kyou. But I can't. She was my friend. She wretched Kyou from my arms and stole him into hers, but I can't be angry with her. I'm not angry with anyone, life is…what's the word? Neutral. It makes me sick.

I got off of my bed slowly and stepped into the hall, wiping away my tears. I came face to face with Kyou, who's room, conveniantly, is next to Yuki's, and even more conveniantly, came out at the same time. Our eyes met. I could see fire dancing in his, and sorrow singing in mine. He spun and slouched the other way. I don't' know where he was going, I was blocking the way to the stairs.

For all you know, This could be

The difference between what you need

And what you want to be

Yea what you want to be.

I couldn't hold it it. I started sobbing and cradled my face in my hands, leaning against the wall. My sobs came like strange animal noises, choking me.

"Yumi?" the voice came like a call from heaven. I tried to calm myself; to regain my dignity for the head of this household. Shigure stood behind me, leaning against the wall, his thumbs in his robe belt. "Are you alright?" he asked quietly, concern reflecting in his eyes. I turned to face him, my eyes red and watery. I shook my head before my emotions took over and I collapsed again, breaking down into hell. I felt him wrap his arms around me, cradling my head to his chest in comfort. He rocked me back and forth, holding me as I cried.

"Just cry Yumi. Built up emotions is not a good thing. Let it out Yumi, everything will be alright."

Those damned words again, that's what Kyou said. As he held my head to his chest, I heard his heartbeat increase slightly. My sobs quieted.

Every word you never said

Echoes down your empty hallway

And everything that was your world

Just came down

He rubbed my back to calm me, whispering small things to comfort me. Nothing could, but I played along and slowed my crying to sniffs. I felt him kiss my forehead. Yes, right.

Everything will be ok. I have Shigure.

Night swimming in her diamond dress

Making small gestures

Move across the surface

Stand watching on the steady shore

Feeling, wide open and waiting for.

Author's Note: Eep! I'm sorry I don't know how songfics work that well. I know the story was ok but the song parts were kind of terrible. The songs about a guy breaking up with a girl even though he didn't want to. Here's the full Lyrics just in case:
Slow dancing on the boulevard feel the, Quiet moments while the city is still dark. Sleep walking through the summer rain in the tired spaces you could here her name

When she was warm and tender and you held her arms aroun d you. There was nothing but her Love and affection. She was crazy for you now she's part of somethin' that you lost.

Chorus: Yea for all you know

This could be

The difference between what you need

And what you wanna be.

Night swimmin in her diamond dress making small gestures move across the surface. Stand watchign from the steady shore feeling wide open and waiting for something

Warm and tender now she's moving further from you. There is nothing that could make it easy on you. Every step you take reminds you that she's walking on

Chorus

Every word you never said echoes down your empty hallway. And everything that was your world just came down.

Day breaking on the boulevard feel the sun warming up your second-hand heart. Light swimming right across your face thinking Maybe someday, Maybe someday
Chorus x2

It's really a good song. I urge you to check it out sometime. Peace ^_^
