Okay I just had this crazy Fruits Basket idea and decided to fly with it. So this is how it goes:

I DO NOT own Fruits Basket…If I did, well. Just read the story. Yuki is a little OOC.

"Miss Honda," Yuki said, always overly polite, "This is a wonderful tea. Please, tell me, what herbs did you use?" He inclined his head upward to look at her, a gray lock of hair falling across his face. She found that so annoying! Why did he have to wear his hair long anyways, huh? It was just a distraction…whatever. She would never voice her annoyance though. She was a guest in their home and she could not betray their hospitality by being rude. So Tohru just smiled wide.

"Thank you Yuki-kun. It was nothing really, just lemon verbena and mint with some steaming water. Nothing really." she repeated. He was always so extensively polite. This was the least of her problems however; polite was much better then perve-

"Oh yes Tohru, my pretty flower!" Shigure gushed. "Fabulous tea! I'd like to see what else you could do." He winked at her and grinned. Tohru blushed furiously turning to the cat boy behind her.

"Shigure don't be such a pervert," this was the new voice. She smiled fondly at Kyo. His reddish orange hair fell into his face, but not in an annoying way. Not into his actual face, just over his forehead. He didn't notice her friendly expression as he was glaring Shigure with a deep loathing. She knew that Kyo hated the dog, but this looked seemed a little excessive. Of course, she didn't know the whole reason for this death look.

Kyo was angry. Very angry. His hands were shaking viciously and he was grinding his teeth together in his mouth. Shigure's comment was so unbelievably perverted he wasn't even sure the dirty minded dog had realized just what he had said. Of course, there was another reason that he was upset at the comment. And from Tohru's confused look at his deadly gaze that fell upon Shigure he could conclude that she didn't know it. She was a little awkward with other members of the zodiac during these situations, but around her housemates she handled it quite well.

"Did you like the tea Kyo-kun?" She looked at him with her big bluish green eyes that were like peaceful and blissful oceans and a face that begged him to answer kindly. Of course, his 'friends' had other plans.

"I'm sure he did Miss Honda." Damn rat! He always had to answer for him, respond as if Kyo couldn't, treat him like a child whenever they were with Tohru. Now that was torture. The very existence of that gray freak was a large crack down the glass of his life. Any decision he made, any at all, whether it was getting angry for seemingly no reason or storming away to the forest in unknown frustration. Now was another one of those times where he blew an invisible fuse.

"Rat," Kyo growled, "I can speak by myself perfectly fine. To Tohru or anyone else! You don't need to do it for me!" His voice was a growl and he could tell it was scaring the girl of the house more than a little. "And yes," he continued, turning to Tohru, "I enjoyed the tea immensely." As he said this, Yuki looked at the brunette as well and Kyo seized his opportunity to deliver a powerful punch to Yuki's cheek.

"Oh look," taunted Yuki, "the cat," he spat the word like sour milk, "has decided to fight back." Then he stood up and stalked out of the room. Shigure sighed over dramatically and stood, turning away from the two.

"I'll get him." with that he followed the rat up the stairs. Ever since Kagura had officially given up on the one she 'desperately wanted but would despairingly never have,' and moved to South Dakota in the US Yuki had been much more aggressive, angry, and protective of Tohru. They weren't dating, but he acted like she was property of his. He always introduced her to new Sohmas and normal people too. Kyo was tired of it.

Tohru wasn't an object. She couldn't be owned. It should be up to her who she talked to and who she didn't, not a decision made by the idol of their high school. And she definitely should be able to hear someone's opinion made, not by Yuki, but straight from that person's mouth. No matter who she was, Tohru deserved freedom. This freedom was the one Yuki would not allow her.

It made Kyo so angry and yet he couldn't do anything about it. Not with that curse around he couldn't. For another time in his sad life, Kyo Sohma could do nothing, nothing at all.

"I'm out of here!" the desperate teen said, throwing his arms into the air, causing his orange hair to shake as he shook his head, "I thought that just maybe that rat would give me a good fight for once." It was true. When he had thrown that punch he had wished with every ounce of his being that the worthless rodent named Yuki would stay and give him an honest fight. Ever since Kagura abandoned Kyo-which he wasn't sad about- they hadn't had a really true, all out brawl like they had when they had just met Tohru.

Nope.

Nada.

Zip.

Not one nice fistfight.

Not one wrestling match.

Not even a small thumb war. Heck, he would've been fine with even that.

Not.

One.

Single.

Physical.

Competition.

And that was making Kyo mad. So he headed for the door on the opposite side of the room that Shigure and Yuki had left from and was just through the door frame when Tohru walked/chased to catch up with him.

"Kyo-kun, I'm sorry Yuki is always so-" at that moment Kyo spun around, about to interrupt her apology.

"It doesn't matter, I-" She nearly ran into him with her entire body but the doorframe stopped her, catching her arms on either side but letting the rest of her body pitch forward. Their chests didn't collide, thus preventing his transformation. But when they both spun around at the same time, something else met. They were face to face for a millisecond before hers was pressed onto his. This small action caused a small, forced kiss. Both of them opened their eyes wide, quite astonished that they would end up like this, especially when Kyo was angry.

For two or three seconds, they remained like that, lips together eyes open wide, waiting for the other to pull apart or keep the kiss going. Who would it be? Kyo decided he should be first; he was the guy after all. So right then he made a choice that changed not only their lives, but also the lives of every Sohma.

He kissed her. Not some squashed lip exchange but a real kiss. His eyes lost their waiting look but didn't close. No, they wouldn't close until she moved. When she did…she kissed him back.

Once they pulled apart, Kyo smiled and grasped her hand. "I love you Kyo-kun." Her voice was small, like a frightened child that was cowering in a dark corner. The words coursed through him like sweet venom. It was some sort of chemical, deadly and intoxicating but better than anything he had ever known. Then the real virus began.

"I love you too Tohru." They kissed again. They separated smiling again. Happy through the pain of their cursed life.

No one noticed the curtains that draped outside of the window parting. No one noticed the gleaming eye that peered through the glass, watching the moment with a happy greed. His black hair surrounded the small bit of his pale face that could be seen through the windowpane.

"Now," Akito growled with a vengeance, "now I have a wonderful reason."

The unexpected couple continued to hold hands and look at each other, Kyo occasionally glaring in the direction that Yuki had gone. But then his alert red eyes caught something else. Another eye, this one gray and dark, glaring happily through the window.

"Tohru," Kyo pointed to the window, "We have a big problem." She looked at the window just as Akito disappeared from view into the night.

"You don't think…"she blushed, "he saw do you?" The orange haired boy just nodded sadly and squeezed her hand. "I was hoping that you wouldn't say that."

This is not a one shot and I'm going to continue it! Just wait you'll see! I don't know if I'll be updating it soon though…Wait I have nothing to do all week so I can!

Yuki: You're just realizing that stupid?

Me: Don't call me stupid!

Yuki: Then don't act stupid, stupid.

Grrr…

REVIEW PLEASE!
