an opinion.

Disclaimer: Don't own Fruits Basket...so yeah.... sad

Yuki and Tohru sat studying in the library, books scattered over the large oak table. It was after school; Yuki and Tohru both agreed since they had no other plans, it would be best to study for final exams. Kyou thought it was best that he go ahead and walk home, it looked like rain and he definitely didn't want to get caught in it again.

"Maybe some other time."

"Are you sure Kyou? You can always use my umbrella." Tohru said humbly as always.

Batting down his rising anger, "WHY WOULD I WANT TO USE A PINK!? I...mean...No. You keep it for yourself."

"Well, if you're sure." Tohru smiled sweetly at Kyou, a smile so warm it could melt ice. "Have nice walk Kyou." She said.

"Yes, see you at home Kyou." Yuki said.

"Whatever." Kyou waved over his shoulder as he walked away.

It was their junior year. It was amazing how many things had changed in the past few years with Tohru. Kyou had changed considerably. The tension between Yuki and he had almost dissipated. They had almost become friends, if it weren't for the occasional morning fight, or evening fight. Well, they still fought, but not like they used to.

"Miss Honda? Miss Honda are you feeling alright?"

"Hmm...Oh Yuki! I'm so sorry I was just lost in thought and-"Yuki cut her off.

"It's alright, really Tohru. If you don't mind I'd like to know what's troubling you." Yuki said.

"Well," She started. "It's just that I'm worried about Kyou. I hope he didn't get caught in that rain." She said as she stared out of the large window, as the lighting and thunder rolled on, and the rain poured down in sheets.

"I'm sure Kyou wouldn't want you to worry. He's probably at home sulking." Yuki smiled and Tohru smiled back.

"You're right...Oh no!" Tohru looked at her watch and realized it was already 6 o' clock. "It's already six, dinner's going to be late!"

Tohru and Yuki hurriedly grabbed up all their books and ran outside. They opened up their umbrellas and ran most of the way home. Once they got to the door they dropped their umbrellas on the porch. Tohru looked around the house into the pouring rain. Her eyes squinted against the dark. She saw something, it was small, but she knew what it was right away.

"Kyou!" She screamed and ran to him. Yuki whipped around quickly and ran behind her. "Oh no! Kyou please! Say something!" She picked up his small orange form soaked to the bone and shivering. He couldn't speak. She opened her school jacket and tightened it around him as she and Yuki ran into the house.

A/N: Yeah, kind of long chapter, more to come though. Please review!? begs
