(A/N) Okay, this is my first Fruits Basket fic, and it's going to be a two-shot (probably). This idea just came to me at random, and, as I know it has been done before, I went out of my way not to read any similar fics before I wrote this. So… yeah. Anywhos, I suck at humor, so it's not that funny. But I'll give it a shot! Oh, and I don't hate Yuki or anything (actually I love him to death) but when it comes to Yuki vs. Kyo, Kyo all the way. I love Kyo more than anyone else in the world!! (Except maybe L…)

On with the story!!

Shigure is horrified. Yuki is amused. Tohru is anxious. And Kyo is… high. What did Tohru unwittingly bring home from the market? That's right. Catnip. And Kyo is saying some very un-Kyo-like things… OOC-ness for obvious reasons. T to be safe.

I do not own Fruits Basket! If I owned Kyo, I would be hugging him every five seconds! (Momiji too!) But, sadly, I do not. TT-TT

"I'm ho-ome!" Tohru called, pushing into Shigure's house.

"You're late," grumbled Kyo, from where he lounged on the floor. "I'm starving."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! I ran into the most charming lady, and she sold me this potted plant!" Tohru produced a leafy plant and placed it on the table next to Kyo. "Won't it brighten the place up?"

***Beginning of flashback***

Tohru glanced at the nice old lady sitting outside the market. She had a table set up in front of her covered with various potted plants. She smiled invitingly at Tohru.

"You look like a lovely young girl," she had said. "How would you like to brighten up your space with one of my plants?"

"Oh, they're beautiful!" Tohru exclaimed. "But I can't afford them. I just barely managed diner. And," she added to herself, "Yuki's birthday is coming up. I have to save up for that."

The old lady only smiled. "You live with a young boy, hmm?"

"Oh yes," Tohru nodded. "Three of them."

"Oh, my! You need one of my plants to add a femine touch!" the old lady then produced the leafy plant in question. "For you, my dear, half price! No, 75% off!"

"But I couldn't possibly!" Tohru objected. The old lady smiled encouragingly.

"Of course you could, dear. Now, take this home! I guarantee some interesting things!" the old lady winked, a twinkle in her eye. "This plant brings adventures, did you know that? But it always ends pleasantly."

"Well…"

And so, after "thank you" and "you're very welcome," the leafy green plant in question had come home with Tohru.

***End of flashback***

"Hmm? A plant? Why?" Kyo sniffed, reclining back and looking at the plant.

Yuki entered the room, then, and Tohru set to organizing the diner.

"What's that?" Yuki flicked his head in the direction of the plant.

"A plant Tohru bough, what the hell do you think?" Kyo snapped, toying with one of the leaves.

"Well, stupid cat, thank you for telling me," Yuki snorted.

Tohru braced herself for Kyo's explosion, but it never came. Curious, she peered around the corner to see why he wasn't jumping down Yuki's throat. He was playing with one of the dark green leaves, seeming completely absorbed in it. About half a minute later, he glanced up at Yuki.

"Huh, did you say something?" he asked in a confused way.

Yuki tossed his head. "Exactly what I'd expect from a stupid cat. A stupid response."

That was when Kyo started giggling. Tohru dropped the measuring cup full of rice in her surprise. The orange-haired boy tipped his head back and laughed. This brought Shigure running from the other room, where he had been (supposedly) writing.

"Is that…" he trailed off with a look of shock at the scene. Then, his eyes found the plant, which Kyo was still fiddling with. They grew round with alarm. "What… is that…?"

"A plant…" Kyo replied in a dazed way, "…that Tohru brought… home…" he leaned in, sticking his head into the fragrant leaves.

Yuki was starting to chuckle under his breath, and Shigure rounded on Tohru.

"Do you know what that is?" he asked sternly.

"…Um… no…?" Tohru was still staring at Kyo. "I… bought it from a lady… outside the market."

Shigure sighed, hiding his face with one hand. "That's catnip!" he exclaimed. "Catnip!!"

"…Oh…" the color drained from Tohru's face. "I… I didn't know! Really!"

"I know…" Shigure was at a loss.

"Hey, look at that!"

Everyone was distracted by Kyo, who was watching a shadow on the other side of the paper door. He crouched down, his hands out in front of him, and his legs bunched under him. He wiggled his hindquarters in a most undignified display (making Yuki burst out laughing) and, without warning, sprang through the paper door. Shigure cried out in dismay as the material tore, and Kyo landed awkwardly on the other side. He batted at the butterfly, grinning in a bemused way. Then, his head swung back toward the house, and he sprang again, landing on the table and skidding forward, taking the tablecloth and bags of groceries, along with the plant, with him. The whole bunch skidded off the table and Kyo landed clumsily, half-buried under the tablecloth.

"Hehe," he started to giggle again. Yuki started to laugh again, and everyone took note of the silver-haired boy and the camera in his hand. Tohru felt humiliated for poor Kyo.

"Um… Kyo…?" she called, hoping to distract him. He spun, getting more tangled and falling over sideways. Tohru winced, but Kyo bounced back up like nothing had happened.

"Tohru!" he cried jubilantly. The young girl jumped.

Without anymore warning, Kyo pounced again, right at Tohru. She jerked back reflexively, hitting the pot of noodles coming to a boil on the stove. The contents of said pot flew through the air and intercepted Kyo's path through the air. The two collided mid-air, and a noodle-covered Kyo skidded to an uncoordinated halt in the middle of the kitchen floor. He flipped his head, licking at the noodles covering his face. Yuki was suffocating in the corner, but kept the camera trained on the cat. The orange-haired boy seemed to give up on licking the noodles off his face, and refocused on Tohru. He licked his lips, and shook himself vigorously, scattering noodles everywhere. Shigure let out a little sound of dismay as they splattered the windows, walls, and his bookcase. Plus Shigure himself, Yuki and his camera, and Tohru. Kyo paused and spun in a circle, then flopped onto his back, where he proceeded to roll and twist like… well, a cat in a catnip patch.

"Oh… my… gosh…!" Yuki managed to choke out, whipping the noodles off his camera. "This is… too good…!" his face was turning red as he tried to get enough air.

"No!" cried Shigure. "Not good! Not good! Everyone destroys my house!"

"Shigure-san's right!" Tohru said. "He might hurt himself!"

"You're so… sweet Tohru-chan…!"

Everyone turned to Kyo, who was on his back, staring up at Tohru. His orange eyes were slightly crossed and a bit hazy. He had a goofy grin on his face that he wouldn't be caught dead with.

"Um… Kyo… kun…?" Tohru asked.

"…Yes…?" Kyo purred.

"Are you… okay…?"

"…Yes…"

Pause.

More purring.

"…He's… purring…" Yuki crowed softly.

"Yes I am…" Kyo's head lolled backwards.

"…Um…" Tohru came forward and rested a hand on the orange-haired boy's head.

The purring grew noticeably louder.

"You should… calm down…" Tohru said softly.

"…Calm down…?" Kyo asked dreamily.

"Yeah, you'll hurt yourself,"

"I want to see that!" Yuki piped up, not as happy with the situation considering Kyo and Tohru's close proximity.

"…Shut up…" grumbled Kyo, pushing his head into Tohru's hand.

A growl built in Yuki's throat. "You gonna make me, stupid cat?"

"… I'm really not liking you right now…" grumbled Kyo, seeming more pissed at the fact that he had to move than Yuki's insult.

Yuki growled and shoved the camera into a surprised Shigure's hand. "Keep the camera trained on us. I want this on video."

Kyo got up off the ground with a shrug, and Yuki lunged, aiming a kick at the cat's face. Tohru let out a little squeak of alarm, but the blow never connected. Kyo ducked and swept one foot out, but Yuki blocked his kick.

"Stupid ca-" Yuki cut off abruptly as Kyo's fist slammed into his jaw, sending the silver-haired boy sailing about a yard backwards. Shigure leaped backwards in shock, keeping the camera on the stunned Yuki as he dragged himself up, huffing indignantly.

"This is stupid," he growled, brushing himself off and turning away. He found himself staring into the camera. "Keep it on Kyo, idiot!" he snapped uncharacteristically.

Kyo, meanwhile, was back to his beloved plant, his head half-buried in it. Tohru didn't know who to be more concerned about now, Kyo or Yuki. Kyo turned to her, and began to purr again.

"He smells like rat," Kyo commented, flicking his head toward Yuki and wrinkling his nose. "I don't like that smell." Without warning (as he had been doing), he pressed his head into Tohru, making her jump (this position obviously didn't count as a hug, for Kyo remained human). This did, however, count as something to Yuki, who once again gave the camera to Shigure. He grabbed Kyo's shoulder.

"Hey," he growled.

"Lay off…!" whined Kyo, batting at Yuki and nuzzling deeper into Tohru. "You've got no right… to be jealous…"

"Jealous!" Yuki's voice was akin to a squawk, and Shigure stifled a laugh. "You're even stupider when you're high on your stupid catnip, stupid cat!"

Kyo started giggling, making Yuki angrier. (Lol, Yuki's getting pissed! Never thought I'd see the day! xD)

"Stop your stupid giggled in that stupid high pitched voice and your stupid catnip high you stupid cat! This is so stupid! And get away from her!" (five times xD)

"You sound stupid, rat-boy, saying stupid all the time," Kyo pointed out gently, smiling at Yuki like one would smile at a kindergartener.

Yuki, with a snarl of frustration, whipped around. Kyo's purring grew louder and, if purring can sound taunting, turned taunting. Yuki clenched his fists.

"Calm down!" cried Tohru, laying her hand on Kyo's head, which was still cuddled into her stomach. Kyo nuzzled into her hand and smiled lazily.

"He smells like rat, but you smell nice," he purred, rubbing against her.

"Eh?!" Tohru stiffened.

"You…cat…!" Yuki growled.

"Y-Yuki, calm down…" Tohru said quickly.

"This… cat is taking advantage of you!" Yuki objected.

"Well…" purred Kyo, "she is purrrrfect…"

"Oh…!" Tohru blushed, and, as she tried to calm Yuki, began subconsciously petting Kyo's orange hair.

"Stupid cat…" Yuki began grumbling. "Stupid catnip…"

"Hey Tohru…?" Kyo murmured.

"Yeah?" the blushing girl replied.

"I love you."

"Eh?!" Tohru jumped, and Kyo looked up at her.

"Is it really that shocking?" he asked in a dazed and amused way. "Surly not."

"WHAT?!" Yuki's face was red with fury.

"Oh, well…" Tohru's face was red, too, but for a different reason. "I… I… I never thought… you would actually say it…"

Kyo let out an amused purr. "I can feel your heartbeat…" he murmured.

Tohru let out a little gasp, which only made her heart pound faster.

Yuki watched, fuming, in utter disbelief.

Shigure tried to contain a laugh of delight, and kept the video camera rolling.

Kyo kept purring, rubbing up against her, and murmuring soft, indecipherable things.

No one quite dared to move, or say a word. Well, besides Kyo.

It was Tohru who broke the silence. For once she knew exactly what to say.

"Well, Kyo… I love you, too. And you know that. Now," she rearranged the orange-haired boy so that she could lay him down, "I think it's time to get some sleep."

It was true, Kyo's purrs had gotten softer and his eyes were starting to close. Yuki let out a little sound of disbelief at the whole situation.

"Mm…" Kyo's murmur was sleepy. "…Sleep beside me…?"

Tohru nodded. "Sure."

Kyo blinked drowsily. "Thanks Tohru…" his statement became a huge, fanged yawn, and he lay down on the carpet.

Get rid of the plant! Tohru mouthed at the two boys, who were watching from the corner. Neither of them moved. Tohru didn't have the chance to silent-yell at them, because, quite suddenly, a thin but strong arm looped around her waist and dragged her down to the floor. Kyo snuggled into her, and suddenly transformed into a small orange cat. The purring started up again, and the little cat snuggled into Tohru's chest, promptly falling asleep. The girl looked up helplessly. Shigure snickered and set the camera down, so that it could still film Tohru and Kyo where they were curled on the ground. Yuki stormed out without another word, and Shigure fetched Tohru a pillow before taking the pot of catnip outside.

Before she knew it, Tohru found herself absorbed in the sound of Kyo's breathing, the rapid pulse of his little cat heart. And then she was asleep.
