Author's Notes: This is my first Fruits Basket fanfic. So, I realize that it might be very bad. If you guys don't like it, I might not continue. Flames are welcomed cheerfully and will be used to warm my house during this cold season. I won't be using many Japanese terms, as I don't know too many.
Disclaimer: If I owned Fruits Basket Kyo would finally admit his feelings to Uo, Yuki and Tohru would together, Kagura would find another guy, Akito would die, and they'd all live happily ever after. Oh! By the way, all the boys would walk around with no shirts on and would sweat a lot. Yuki would blush more! Hee hee hee . . .
When My Heart Bursts
It means nothing to me, if you are here in body.
For your spirit will live forever in my heart.
Your gentle touch means more to me than all the riches of the Earth.
And I realize, I'm lost without your scent.
The light at the end of a dark tunnel
Turns out to be only your face
To any unknown onlooker, you are just another pretty person
But in my eyes, the words cannot be expressed.
Sometimes I find myself weeping, even crying in my sleep
But I would never let you know, the pain that aches my heart
For, if you were to worry over me, it would only pain me more
I have many sleepless nights without your warmth.
Your smile is spread all around, as you cheer with everyone
You still don't seem to notice the way I stare at you.
Are you so innocent, you don't know how I dream of you?
So sweet, you can't even see it in my eyes?
There's nothing you could do or say, that would make my heart change
I feel for you like I have for no one, and only you have seen my smile.
But I know, I can never hold you in my arms. Still, I will wait.
Until the time, when my heart bursts . . .
Sakura Petals
Another sleepless night. Why is it always like this. Ever since I was with you in that garden, you have not left my mind. Cursed with the rat, as I am, no one else notices when I am feeling worried or confused. But, you can tell by simply looking in my eyes. I try to avoid your worried gaze, but it is all in vain. You keep looking to me at the breakfast table.
"Yuki?"
You ask me, your sweet voice ringing in my ears.
"What is it Miss Honda? Is something wrong?"
You shake your head lightly,
"You just look a little out of it. Do you have a fever? Your face is all red . . ."
You lay your hand lightly on my forehead. Yes, I can only assume that my face is most definitely red right now. It reminds me of when we first became friends. You fixed my tie after a recent transformation. When I came out of this memory, your face was very close to mine. You too are blushing now. You smile nervously,
"Umm, Yuki? I need to see if you have a fever. You do seem a little warm. Do you mind?"
You point to your own forehead and I know what you are asking. I shake my head,
"Of course not Miss Honda."
The thought of you so close to me only makes me warmer. You lean in, resting your forehead on my own. You close your eyes as you test my warmth. You jump back, startled slightly,
"Yuki! You're burning up! I insist on you staying home from school today! You aren't going anywhere!"
I don't get a chance to protest before you are shuffling me back to my room and telling me to get my pajamas back on. You keep going on about how you'll go to school to pick up each of our assignments and then rush back to me.
It means nothing to me, if you are here in body.
After you've made sure I'm in my pajamas and back in bed. You 'tuck' me in; pulling
up my blankets and tucking them under my sides. I am lying on my side, and you don't seem to notice when you lightly hit the member below my covers. I twitch slightly. I know I have no fever, but your fuss over me keeps me from denying your love of caring. I do still feel sleepy, after my restless night, with only thoughts of you in my mind. My eyelids droop, but I know you are still by my side. You bring your hand up to my face and brush your finger across it gently. Why do you torture me?
"I'll be back as soon as I can! I promise."
You whisper to me in worry, leaning your head down to my ear. I only nod, afraid of saying more than you are ready to hear. You hustle out the door, making promises of quick return. You don't need to keep bothering, I believe every word yo say. I drift into sleep, knowing I am safe under your watchful eyes.
For your spirit will live forever in my heart.
'Oh Yuki,' I think as I run to school. I will get our assignments and be back soon, I promise! I do wonder how you've lasted even this long. Shigure is nice company to the ill, but he doesn't really know how to take care of the sick. Well, it doesn't matter, now that I'm here. I recall the times when you cared for me.
There was the time when you gave me those new ribbons. I was so nervous. The way you held them in your tender hands. I knew I must have been blushing beyond all reason when you did that. Any girl at school would have died if you had given them ribbons. But, it was I who received them from your gentle caress.
Your gentle touch means more to me than all the riches of the Earth.
I wasn't watching where I was going. I don't even know what I was thinking. I guess I was still picturing you in my mind. But, of course, I ran into someone. Even worse, it was Kyo. *Pyon!* Lucky for us, we were on the path in the forest.
"Watch where you're going!"
"I'm sorry Kyo! I really didn't mean to. Please, don't be mad . . !"
"Shut up!"
I give him a saddened look and his eyes soften. I know I must make him worry when I give him those looks, but I can't help it when he yells at me.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout. So, how's that damn rat doing?"
He asks it a little coldly, but I know he cares about you Yuki. I smile again and start to tell him that I'm going back home. I pick up his clothes and we walk through the forest. We stop a good distance away from the end to wait for him to change back. It's here that Kyo starts to talk with sincerity.
"Tohru, if I were sick would you take care of me?"
I think to myself, of course! And, it's true. I would most certainly take care of him, but I could never tell him the love I feel for you. I tell him that I would and he seems to feel better. Smiling, he changes back. *Pyon!*
I walk back to your room. Peeking in slowly, to make sure I don't wake you. As I open the door, your scent floods to me, filling my nostrils. I never noticed how much affect your scent seemed to have on me. Embarrassed as I was, I could feel myself become aroused, simply from that.
And I realize, I'm lost without your scent.
I didn't even catch myself before I was already kneeling at the edge of your bed. Apparently, I had set down our assignments and was resting my head on the bedside. I found myself strongly attracted to your lips. They were a light pink now, probably from your fever. If you had been awake, I would have gazed into your eyes. They were the thing that made you most attractive, sexy even. I imagined their purple haze and vibrant glow, and found myself looking into them. Were you awake?! Or, had I fallen asleep on your bed. Maybe that was it. Because, you were leaning towards my face, you never would have done that in real life.
Yuki's POV
I saw you so close, it must've been a dream. So, considering the situation, I leaned in to kiss you. I can already feel your warm breath on my face. I wonder if maybe I am developing a fever because I find myself blushing and sweating. Can this really be happening? I don't have time to think on it further before our lips touch. I close my eyes in bliss as your taste flows to all of my senses. This was the heaven that had kept me awake these past few weeks. But now, it was a reality. Or, was I only dreaming as I had been?
I squint lightly to see your eyes closed as well. Even though I do love staring into their sapphire depths, to see you look so happy is even more wonderful. You weight shifts as you pull your whole body onto the bed. Thank goodness for the blankets between us or I would already be a rat. We both start to breathe through our nostrils, not wanting to break the kiss. Feeling your weight upon me sends emotions through my body I have never felt before, not even in my dreams. I pull my hands up to lace them in yours. You squeeze them tightly, giving me a feeling of even more satisfaction. Kyo is at school, so I don't have to worry about him, and Shigure will most likely be busy. We can share this moment. You moan into me, sending shivers down my spine. You now let your body rest on mine completely, and I can feel the pressure of your breasts through the sheets. I have to control myself. Who knows what I'd do if you let me? I moan back to you, and you respond with a little giggle. The sounds drive both of us on.
Tohru's POV
Is there any way this could be real? It just doesn't seem possible! I've never felt so good before! Feeling your lips move against mine in rhythm makes me want to burst. Now I can sense your scent entirely and I feel myself grow even more aroused. I so wanted to taste you even more, but knew I shouldn't. I was losing control and I knew it! What would I do now? I felt something near my legs, beneath the sheets. It made my heart jump as I realized what it was I felt. You laced your fingers through mine. I squeeze them tightly and I can't help but moan in joy. I feel the member under the blankets shake along with the rest of your body in response to the sound. I relax a little, falling onto you. It felt wonderful! If it hadn't been for the blankets between our chests, I wouldn't be feeling what I was this very moment. Then, you moan too. I giggle a little, unable to contain my excitement. We continue on.
Even in our current state you manage to control yourself. You kisses do not grow any hungrier, at least not now. You know when to control yourself. It's amazing how confident you seem right now. I push my self onto you, slightly harder. I think the movement made you lose a little of your control. Now your kisses seem to have more of an urgent need in them. I open my mouth to take in more air. And, seeing the opportunity, you slide you tongue into my mouth gently. It isn't a harsh or quick movement as most would have expected, it is instead a smooth and gentle one. Wanting to taste you even more, I respond to your tongue's movements and they partake in a dance, lapping over one another in sheer bliss.
"Tohru! What's for dinner?" We both freeze instantly. It was Shigure! Had it really gotten so late as dinner?! I jumped up and looked into your violet eyes and they seem disappointed, not that I couldn't say I wasn't. I slid off the bed, your hands still grasping mine. I leaned in and kissed you on the forehead, "Yuki, since you aren't feeling well, I'll bring you up some soup alright? Let me make the others some dinner first and I'll be back. Besides, you need some more rest since I interrupted it." I slide my hands out of yours and head downstairs, closing your door behind me.
What had I been thinking?! I hadn't imagined it had gotten so late. Maybe I really did fall asleep at your bedside and woke up as my body starting acting on my dream. I didn't have much time for thought as I ran down to whip something up for dinner. Shigure gives me a suspicious look. "Tohru, I don't mean to be rude, but you usually have dinner made by now and the table already set. Is something wrong? Were you distracted?" My face flamed instantly and a smile crept across Shigure's face. Somehow, I knew he knew. "Don't worry Tohru. It's very common for someone your age to experience emotions towards a male. I'm sure Yuki feels the same for you as you do for him. He will take good care of you Tohru." What he did next was certainly unexpected. Well, maybe not from Shigure. He walked towards me, wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed me hard on the lips. It was short, but true. "There!"Shigure chimed happily, "Now you'll know what it's like to get a strong kiss. Since you're forever dedicated to Yuki, you won't get many. He seems more faithful to the sincere, tender, drawn out, meaningful kisses. That's great too, but I just thought you should know." I know I'm blushing as Shigure takes his seat at the table. Looking as calm as ever. Ah, Shigure. So collected in the ways of love. I smile lightly, and finish dinner up.
Looking out the window as we eat dinner, Shigure smiling and Kyo scowling, I see a light breeze blow by. In its embrace, are a few sakura petals . . . .
Notes: So, what'd you think? I'll continue if you want. I think it's a little short. Well, if you don't like it, I'll take my work elsewhere. Review please! Ok, sayonara! See ya soon!
Disclaimer: If I owned Fruits Basket Kyo would finally admit his feelings to Uo, Yuki and Tohru would together, Kagura would find another guy, Akito would die, and they'd all live happily ever after. Oh! By the way, all the boys would walk around with no shirts on and would sweat a lot. Yuki would blush more! Hee hee hee . . .
