Hello, everyone! Well, this is my first time writing a fic, so feel free to correct my mistakes and give opinions! I got the idea while listening to Rin Kagamine's 'I Like you, I Love you'. And, I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, because if I did, Tohru and Yuki would be the main pairing, I just own the idea.

I like you, I love you.

Chapter one.

Tohru was sitting in the edge of her bed, staring at the window. It looked like a warm day, but she knew it wasn't because she could see the snow covering the trees and the soil. She knew she must be thinking about her math exam, or what she would do for dinner, but she just couldn't.

She couldn't stop thinking about silver hair and purple eyes. That silver hair that emitted a soft glow, and those beautiful, yet mysterious purple eyes.

A loud noise made her wake up from her day dream, and she went downstairs. In the kitchen was a light smoke, probably made by the steak Shigure had left cooking while he went to town.

The steak Tohru was supposed to prevent from burning.

Alarmed, she tried to reach for the bucket of water that was always in the counter, but she couldn't see anything. So, instead, she felt a warm body pressing to hers, and before she remembered about the Sohma's course, she reacted as any other human would have done; she hugged tightly the body to prevent herself from falling. Two seconds later, she heard a small "poof" followed by a gentle voice.

"Honda-san? Is that you?"

Tohru, for the first time, was glad that Shigure's steak was burnt and that it caused smoke, because she blushed ten shades of red, and was sure she'd faint if Yuki saw her like this.

The gentle voice insisted "Honda-san? Are you okay? I'm sorry!" The brunette looked around and saw the small grey rat near her left ankle.

"Yuki-kun! I'm so sorry! I should have… this is my entire fault… I was too busy thinking about you-" She blushed even harder. But, she couldn't see the red color spreading in the rat's tiny cheeks.

"-…about you promising you'd help me study for our Math exam…" she invented quickly.

Yuki felt a little disappointed. "Oh, I see… well, Honda-san, I'd better hurry up before I-"

"Poof"

"-transform again!" finished Yuki as he grabbed his clothes and rushed upstairs. At this moment, Tohru was blushing so hard, she wondered why her face hadn't exploded yet. She could almost swear she saw a human-shaped thing, so she closed her eyes for a minute or two, trying to relax a little. She wouldn't like any other Sohma to see her like this. When she opened them again, she could see a little more, so she ran to open the windows. After opening the windows so the smoke would get out, she sat on the floor.

"I'm home!" she heard a familiar voice greet, and she quickly got up to apologize.

"Shigure-san, I'm so sorry, I was distracted, and um… your steak... it um... got burnt!" Tohru admitted, ashamed. "I'm really sorry, so just give me some time and I'll prepare some food for you, maybe some tempura, ramen, rice, grilled fish, sushi, any dessert, whatever you'd like! Just please, let me stay here! I promise it won't happen ever again! I swear on my life! I'm truly sorry, after all you've done for me…" she said while bowing several times.

Shigure was surprised at how she could speak so fast, but he just blinked and chuckled.

"It is okay, Tohru-kun. Besides, I really didn't want steak, I would do with some rice balls…" he said with a wink.

Tohru nodded and went to the kitchen to prepare the rice balls. Shigure turned and went for his studio. When he got in, he closed the door and sat in his desk.

"Well, it seems everything went as planned. Let the fun begin now," he said to himself with an evil smirk as he picked up the phone and dialed Hatori's number.

Well this was the first chapter of my new story, so please review and tell me if you liked it! See you in the next chapter!
