Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ The Healing ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

“You are going to stay with me though, right? I do not want to be here, all alone. I would feel so alone…” Kyo pulled her into his arms.

“I would never leave you. I do not want to lose you again. I love you too much and too deeply to go through something like thinking you are dead again. That really pained me…” he paused “…I love you too much to let you go. Oh, Tohru. I love you.”

The two stood together in the clearing of the forest, holding each other in each other's arms, neither wanting to let go of their love.

Suddenly, feeling two pricks in his neck, Kyo jumped. He pulled away from it and looked at Tohru to find her staring up at him with big, innocent eyes.

"I'm hungry!" she said, pouting cutely. Kyo gave her an odd look, before he accidentally let his laugh out.

"You're just too cute, Tohru. Come over here." He was about to pull her into his arms, but then he caught the hungry look inn her eyes. "...Or you can eat first. Whatever's fine with you...as long as you don't eat me. Heh heh..."

Tohru cocked her head at him again, and just giggled. "Don't worry Kyo. I only use my teeth when we're in bed. So you just wait till later, and you'll get that bite and more that you've been so eager for."

Kyo chuckled softly at her comment, but his eyes still held an uneasy look. "Look, woman, " he said, "just eat already! You're makin' me nervous..." Tohru smiled sweetly at Kyo, licking her lips.

"I believe I have found my prey." She murmured lowly. "Now I have just to catch it!" And with that, she leapt Into Kyo's arms, laughing lightly, a sound that Kyo had sorely missed. He tenderly looked into her eyes, and brushed her hair away from her face.

"Kyo," she murmured, "I told you... I'll give you your bite later. Stop being so impatient!" She added. She gently pulled herself out from his arms. "Besides," she said, "I'm too hungry right now... I'd drink you dry. We wouldn't want that, now would we?"

Somehow, the thought of Tohru being so harsh got Kyo horny. He did his best to will his erection down before Tohru saw it, but luck wasn't on his side.

Tohru looked over at him, and couldn't hold back her snicker. She decided that she would have to make it very pleasing to Kyo when she got to him. She loved seeing him squirm though. She wanted to feel him squirming above her, trying to hold back his desire. And then... she couldn't hold back her blush and remorse that such thoughts had just gone through her head. She couldn't figure out where they had come from. She knew that she hadn't been able to think like that before she died.

A chill went through her as she realized that she had risen from... the dead. She had been dead. She had been about to be buried... for eternity... She was a freak now. A monster. Unnatural... What would her friends think of her now? Would they still be friends with her? Would they want to stay friends with her? ... Would she even be able to let them know that she was alive?

Kyo looked over at Tohru and noticed her depressed expression. Somehow, seeing her so sad made him feel depressed... Could it be love? He knew that he loved her, but he just didn't realize that it went so deep that he would feel for her emotions. But, he concluded, since he did feel for them, and even if he didn't, he could not leave her looking so miserable.

"Tohru," he asked, "what's the matter with ya? Are you 'k? Tell me." Tohru looked at Kyo with a pained expression, wondering if he would understand. Did he know what it felt like, to be faced with the possibility of having to cut off contact with your closest friends? Would he be able to understand her pain?

Kyo saw her judgmental and doubting look, and did the only thing he could at the moment. He pulled her into a warm embrace, and just put his trust in her that she would tell him what was bothering her when the time was right and she was comfortable with him. He felt Tohru move closer to his warmth, and cuddle into his chest.

"I'm hungry." She said in a distant voice. Kyo hesitantly pulled away from her, since she needed to feed, but he didn't want to be fed on.

"Tell me when you're ready," he said, "'k? Tohru nodded at Kyo, her eyes a bit foggy. Kyo draped an arm over her shoulder and led her deeper into the forest to find a deer or something to feed on. Even if he was a vampire, he didn't enjoy drinking human blood all that much. He hoped that Tohru would be the same. He would have to send someone else to take her hunting in the beginning if she preferred to feed on humans. He just couldn't stomach it.

As they wandered deeper into the forest, they heard two people talking softly. Tohru's body stiffened and froze as she recognized the voice. A longing whine found it's way out of her throat. Oh, how much she missed Hana and Uo.

All right. Here's the next chapter. Sorry that it took so long. I just haven't been able to get to it. That and I've been having writer's block with this one.
