A/N: Hello all, this is actually my third fic that I posted up, but my first chaptered fic that I will hopefully finish cross fingers XD I have a bad habit of ditching things...

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the sourness of the lemons!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Fruits Basket characters unforunately.. wish i owned Kyo though (●´ω｀●)ゞ
Chapter 1: Lead Me
B-b-b-RRRRINNNGGGGG! Ring… ring…
"Class dismissed," Manji-sensei said at the front of the class and added, "and don't forget to do your assignment that's due tomorrow!"
"Hai, sensei," the class groaned in unison and bowed down to their teacher for respect, who was standing at the front of the room.
School was finally out for the day and class 4-C was bustling with noise as everyone started to pack up and exit the classroom to head home. Everyone was out of his or her seat except for Tohru and Kyo.
"Honda-san, I'll be going first without you then, alright?" Yuki softly said as he waved at her, exiting the room.
Tohru nodded and waved back at the lavender-haired boy. Usually, she would walk home with him after school and they would spend some quality time together in Yuki's "secret hide out" – his fruit garden in the backfield of their house.
She loved those times that she got to spend with him. They usually grew some strawberries and apples or some other sort of fruit in the yard and then pick the different variety of fruits later on in the season to eat and bring back home. She loved watching the plants grow everyday, bit-by-bit, just like her love for Yuki grew a little by a little, day-by-day. Her heart would start beating really quickly every time he would look at her with his dark and serious eyes. And he was definitely a gentleman in every aspect. The perfect man that she dreamed that she could be with one day.
However, today was not the day for that mushy stuff. Unluckily for Kyo and Tohru, they were both asked earlier on in class to stay behind after school to help clean out the storage room that was a mess. Finally, after most of the students had left the room and gone home, the two got out of their seats and walked up to the front desk to ask their teacher to help them unlock the storage room for them.
"Manji-sensei?" Tohru asked politely with Kyo standing behind her, "could you unlock the storage room for us please?"
Their teacher nodded and smiled, leading them down the hall where the storage room was located. Taking out the key from his left pocket of his trousers, he unlocked the door. He told them all the areas that needed to be cleaned up and where to put the garbage afterwards.
"And don't forget to lock up the room afterwards and give me back the key tomorrow in class. I'm going home now so see you guys bright and early tomorrow morning!"
Pow! He was gone in a flash as he ran down the hall (A/N: anime style of course ^^ yah!~), leaving the two students behind standing in front of the doorway. Tohru sighed and opened the door, looking carefully into the dark room before going in. She always had a feeling that something would jump out in front of her and scare her, especially when she entered any type of dark room. It totally creeped her out.
"Damn it… why'd he ask us to help him clean the storage room and then leave himself," Kyo mumbled as they closed the door behind them, "that's usually what he would ask the baka nezumi to do."
Tohru giggled at Kyo's comment but didn't reply. She couldn't help but laugh as she thought of how Yuki and Kyo were always saying stuff about each other under their breaths. She reached her right hand to feel the wall as she tried to search for the switch to turn on the light in the pitch-black room with her right hand.
Click, she found it and switched it on.
The pitch black room instantly lit up with a dim, yellow glow. It was still dark but at least they could see their surroundings and where everything in the room was located. The room turned out to be not as big as she had thought it would be. It was small with a shelf all the way up to the ceiling with piles of construction paper and garbage all mushed together – an eyesore.
"I guess we should start soon or else we won't be leaving here tonight, eh…" Kyo mumbled. (A/N: My Kyo has some Canadian blood teheehe o^w^o~, j/k)
Tohru sighed and nodded and quickly slipped on her gloves that she had found on the shelf, to put them on to start cleaning up the closet. Kyo, seeing that she had put on her gloves, followed suit and they both started taking the dust-covered sheets and garbage off the shelf to dump in the garbage can that they had brought into the room with them. Most of the work was done in confortable silence as each were off in their own little worlds.
"Finally done!" Tohru shouted with happiness as she took off her gloves, admiring their work after what seemed like eternity. "It looks like no one even touched this room now!"
Kyo nodded and yawned. He stretched and rolled his shoulders that were tense from cleaning up the storage room. "We should get paid to do this. It's not fair that we had to do this without any pay. This is like child labor, humph!"
"Pay?" Tohru asked and remembered that she had skipped work after school to clean up the room with Kyo, "Oh no! I forgot to tell my boss that I wasn't going to work after school today.."
"It's okay," Kyo said, reassuring her, "I already told Momiji that you wouldn't be going to work today when I went out of class during break."
"Oh pheww, thanks so much Kyo! I'll make it up to you sometime later," Tohru gave him a relieved smile. She couldn't wait to go home after all the cleaning up they did in the past few hours in the cramped, dim room. She already planned out what she would be making for dinner for the men in the house (A/N: cold soba with meat, eggs, and other stuff XD, my fave) and then she would maybe have some time after dinner to relax and do her assignment that was due tomorrow.
"Kyo, want to eat soba tonight for dinner?" Tohru asked happily as they gathered their stuff to leave the room.
"Mmm ya, that'd be great," he answered from behind her, and smiled inwardly at the thought of Tohru's homemade cooking. He absolutely loved her cooking. Shigure, on the other hand along side with the baka nezumi, seriously couldn't cook for beans.
Giggling silently, Tohru turned the knob to exit the storage room. It wouldn't budge. She tried to turn the knob again but it wouldn't move, only moving slightly as she touched them. Trying it again, she started to use force to turn it but it still wouldn't turn and open the door.
"Uh oh.." Tohru said softly.
Kyo, who was waiting behind for her to open the door, came up beside her. "Eh..? What's wrong?"
"The door won't open. I think we're locked inside."
