A/N: Okay, my first really short Fruits Basket fic, only 350 words or so, it was stuck in my brain so I thought-what the heck and here it is. While the pairing might be Kyoru I am a hardcore Yuki fan and in my opinion Yuki is the 'hero' in this drabble, so…Yeah!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Baskets or any of the characters etc, etc…

The '+' was just because I guess the themes are a little, adult-ish...

One Night

Tohru sighed. Things between her and Kyou had been a bit rough for the past few days, it felt as if there was something unbalanced between them. Now things felt disarranged again. She missed the way things used to be with her Kyou and Yuki, how happy they had all been together.

'Maybe I'll call him up.' She thought, 'Maybe that will make things better again.'

"Hi Yuki, it's Tohru, I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime with us. We've missed you…It's been different without you here. So…call me I guess."

Yuki put his hand over his eyes. 'Us', 'we'. He was excluded from that grouping, he was simply, 'you'. Isolated. Yuki sighed. It was the most selfish thing Honda-san had ever asked of him. She wanted him to come over to make things calm once again between her and Kyou. Yuki was not oblivious- he knew that with her and Kyou there would never be total peace, they would need someone to balance them out every once in a while. But Yuki didn't want to be that person, that means to their happy end.

Should he go? Maybe he could go with some pretty girl from school, make her jealous. But no, that wouldn't work, Tohru loved Kyou, she would just be confused by his antics, not jealous, and Kyou would be annoyed and pitying. And Yuki could not take pity, not now. Not from 'them'.

All the same. He didn't want to be used by her, to be her tool to make her life good again and then leave once he was no longer needed.

'I'm being selfish.' He thought suddenly. 'If I truly love Honda-san I will do this for her, and not except anything in return.'

Fine then. One night. For one night he would swallow his pride. But because it was for love, however unrequited it may have been, it wasn't as bad, it wouldn't be as hard…Right?

"Hi Tohru? I got your call. When are you two free?"

"Oh you'll come! Oh we're so happy! We can't wait! How about next…"

Wrong.
