Kitten Tears
By Kitsune aka Heather Osburn Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits basket, buy so far no one has sued me for writing about them. However, this is my idea so no one steal it. And to all you who want a lot of Tohru, too bad. Main characters are: Kyo, Kazuma and Shigure. ~*~*~*~
"Hello?" Shigure asked as he picked up the phone. The voice that returned sent a chill down his spine. It was familiar, the usual voice of the dragon member of the Sohmas, but it seemed scared. Only once had Shigure heard his voice this afraid and that was when he had to erase his own girlfriend's memory.
Shigure, the voice said. It's Hatori.
"Yes, I know. What's wrong?"
First, is Kyo there?
"No, he's still at that camp Kazuma wanted him to go to."
Good, then. What I'm about to tell you is a secret, but you need to know this to keep the cat away from the house. Kazuma has fallen ill and there is nothing I can do. Nothing else, at least. It's fatal so I don't know how much longer he has but... Shigure?
No answer came. Shigure had dropped the handset. Slowly, Shigure picked it up again, his pale hand shaking and his gray eyes holding back the tears. "Okay, Hatori. I got it. Good-bye..." Both of them hung up the phone, trying their best to hold on to what happiness they had.

"What's wrong, my dear Shigure?" Ayame asked. The snake was visiting on behalf of what tomorrow was. Well, at first he claimed he was going to greet Kyo a bright welcome home, but then when Tohru brought up Ayame's shop the secret spilled out. According to the white-headed fashion designer, tomorrow was also the third year celebration since "Yuki's Romance day."
"Wrong? What gave you the idea something was wrong?" Shigure replied, trying to bring up a smile to his face.
"Well, first, ever since that call you have been as pale as a ghost and second your smile gets weaker every second. Now come on, you can tell Aya!" Ayame stood up and put his arm around Shigure's neck. "I tell you of my woes, so now it's your turn!"
Tohru raised a hand. "Yeah, Shigure, I mean... if it would help to tell us then I'd be willing to give some advice," she added, smiling as she spoke.
A fist slammed on the table. Actually, four fists... and Yuki and Kagura stood up. "Anything you need help on, you can come to us! After you helped my darling Kyo, I owe you!" Kagura shouted.
"I don't want you two be down, Shigure. I mean, no offense but within a couple of days you'll be grovelling on the floor, asking for pity, so I just want to get it done now," Yuki mumbled, his voice keeping the usual 'I'm annoyed' tone that he used on Shigure.
Tear sprouted from Shigure's eyes. It wasn't long before he spilled everything to them. "But, you can't tell Kyo. If he found out he'd have our h—"the dog began before Yuki and Kagura sprinted out of the door, towards Kazuma's house. "And now, to wait for Hatori to have my head." Ayame and Tohru laughed, trying to brighten the mood a little bit.
~*~ The next day ~*~
Kyo slammed the door of the dojo open. "I'm home!" he shouted grumpily.
Shigure stuck his head into the hall. "I take it, the camp didn't go too well."
"Well, duh. First, they forced me into this stupid kid class where all we did was stretch kick and such and it was only the last week that I actually learned something new! Even HatsuHaru could get through this camp easily!" Kyo replied, dropping his bag on the floor.
"Please don't do that, Kyo. Tohru just got done mopping the floor, which reminds me you might not want to—um.. step on the floor. She waxed it as well," Shigure mumbled as he watched the cat hit the floor. Ayame peeked his head under Shigure's arm, his white hair flowing under him.
"Kyo? You're suppose to me Yuki!" the snake protested.
"What? Where the heck is that stupid rat? Why would I be him?" Kyo growled, lifting himself off the floor and leaning against the wall so he wouldn't fall again.
"He went off to... I mean, he went to the grocery store with Kagura and Tohru!" Ayame announced.
"Your lying, you stupid snake," Kyo said. He slowly walked towards the two older Sohmas. "What the heck is going on? Or should I—"
Once more came Shigure's magical explanation. Kyo paused, now face to face with Ayame and Shigure. "W-what? Master?" It was Kyo's turn to disappear. Shigure looked down.
"I suck at keeping secrets, don't I?" Shigure sulked. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Shigure opened the door. At the door was a group of girls. Instantly they began their cheer they started since they were in middle school. They flexed into weird letters and circled them. The words spelled 'Love Yuki' and after their show, they proved they were they were the only people that were like those rubber action figures. But instead of wondering about their amazing super-human power, a familiar song played through Shii's head. //High school girls, high school girls, all for me, high school girls.//
Yuki, Kagura and Tohru stared at the fan club and creeped into the house through the window.

"Master!" Kyo shouted as he ran at full speed through the forest. Twigs cracked under him and branches picked at his carrot hair and pale skin. Needles flung into his eyes and thorns tugged on his clothes. However, despite these constant disturbances, Kyo pulled on further, determined to get to Kazuma's house as soon as possible. "Don't you dare die on me, Master! I'll never forgive you if you do! Never!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
I just recently finished watching the Fruits Basket series, and suddenly came up with this idea. However, I went through a heck of a lot of editting. You know the last paragraph? That was the first one originally and Shigure's call was going to be a flash back, but then I thought, "how would Kyo know about the call?" And then I fell into a writer's block. Stupid writers block. Oh and I will only continue if I get reviews. I don't know if this is a good story so I want to know if I should continue or not, because I might just be destroying my free time or taking up data space on the web.
