Disclaimer: I, Artsysmiles, do not own Fruits Basket, one of my favorite romance/comedy/awesome mangas. But, repeat but, I will own Kyo someday! And that day will come sooner than soon! That is all.

Just Wanted To Say...

Kyo Sohma walked up to the door that protected her room. She was the reason he was even here; her. Tohru Honda. Tohru. Tohru. He loved to say her name, even thinking it was fine, just as long as he could think of her.

"Tohru," Kyo whispered sadly. She wasn't there now; she was out with that damn rat! Yuki. Yuki. "Yuki," he said, his voice just above a whisper. Yuki had taken her out of town, again. Yuki was trying to take her from him, not like he owned Tohru, but...

He loved her. He loved her so damn much that it hurt. Kyo loved her forgettfulness, her happiness, her smile. He could go on all day with reasons that made him love her. And, he was pretty sure she felt the same way about him. He would wait to tell her the truth once she returned from her trip with Yuki. Kyo punched the wall next to him angrily. Yuki was standing in his way, once more preventing him from happiness.

"Yuki. I hate you," he whispered once more.


"We're back! Come one, Yuki-kun! Let's go see how Kyo-kun is!" cheered Tohru. Yuki smiled warmly at Tohru's joyfulness, something that he loved about her, too. He wanted to take her from Kyo, as he had with everything else in life. Yuki took people's praise because he is the rat, he took their respect because he could fight, he took...EVERYTHING.

"No thank you, Miss Honda. I do not wish to lower myself to speaking to the stupid cat. Please, let's not talk about him, and instead we can relive our lovely trip to Tokyo," said Yuki happily. Tohru's ever present smile faltered for a moment, but quickly returned as she politely declined Yuki's...gracious offer.

"Maybe later, Yuki-kun. Kyo-kun's been alone for a while now since Shigure's been with the Sohma's, and you and I were out of town. I think he'd like some company!" Tohru smiled as she ran outside to Kyo's favorite spot, the roof.

Damn cat. She's the one thing you may have that I never will. I hate you.


Kyo's firey red eyes rolled over to the direction in which the sound was coming from. They stopped and rested on Tohru's smiling face. Tohru? When did they return? But that didn't matter; she was here, and now he could tell her.

"Tohru?" he asked, nervousness weaved in between his words. Tohru climbed over to Kyo and sat down next to him.

"Yes?" she replied.

Kyo averted his eyes from her brown ones; his body was shaking nervously from fear of rejection. "I just wanted to say-"

"Miss Honda! Uo-chan and Hana-chan are here for you!" yelled Yuki. Tohru looked at Kyo, her big brown eyes filled with questions of what he was going to say next.

"Never mind. It's not that important anyway," Kyo answered dejectedly. Tohru smiled warmly before leaning in and kissing Kyo full on the lips. It was a gentle kiss, one which Kyo quickly responded to. Her arms were wrapped loosely around his neck, while his arms had snaked lovingly around her waist. They broke apart slowly, easch not wanting to leave the other.

"Kyo? Please tell me," Tohru asked quietly.

"I just wanted to say..."

"I love you!" they said in unision before continuing their kiss. They broke apart once more as Tohru tightly embraced Kyo. His curse had been broken for some time now, so Tohru and Kyo were content to just lie down in the sunlight, each one hugging the other tightly. And, in order to end this lovely little oneshot, let's just say that Uo-chan and Hana-chan were waiting a very long time. After all, Kyo and Tohru are in love!
