The OFFICIAL LADY MELIEKA SOHMA KISSES EPIC the first part!

I have 30 Fruits Baskets Pairings, and I have a kiss in each chapter. Those are the only guidelines. Not all of these pairings are slash, but most. There are four chapters which don't feature a Sohma at all, but the other 26 do. Some of these fics will be pretty fluffy, some will be ok, and some will be pure smut. I am warning you now. Everything will be clearly defined at the beginning of the chapter, and you are under no obligation to read whatever offends you. I do not however expect to be flamed for this. If I wanna write smut, and some people want to read it, they, and I, should be allowed. It is your right to read or refuse as you so desire, but I won't stand for that 'you disgusting piece of faecal matter you' sorta thing. It just gets right up my nose. Grr.

Quickly noted for any Harry Potter fans out there, yes I have totally copied this idea from Chibi Alania's Official Chibi Alania Unwritten Harry Potter Slash Month, but you may notice some subtle differences. Like the fact it's Fruits Basket instead of Harry Potter for one. Secondly I am nowhere near dedicated enough to write a whole fic every day! That's crazy! But I will get thirty of these stories out, and I will do it fairly quickly. (god, I hope so anyway, I really wanna do this)

And to start it off, we have a most gorgeous, and incredibly well shipped couple, Yuki Sohma and Kyo Sohma.

WARNINGS: Slash, slashy slash slash. Got the picture? Well, no. There's slight slash, some subtle references to wet dreams, and boy/boy kisses. That's about as far as this one goes.

DISCLAIMER: This will not be repeated every chapter. So take note. I do not own Fruits Basket. Do you really think I would be writing this here on if I owned the actual storyline?

SUMMARY: Kyo may be a little slow on the uptake, but he will eventually see what Yuki is trying to show him.

Kyo Sohma knew when something had changed. He knew that there was just something different about his cousin, but he didn't know what it was. To be honest, it was slowly driving him nuts. Oh it was nothing obvious, the damned rat still fought with him, argued with him, and won consistently, but there was that subtle difference, something about the other boy that he just couldn't ignore.

It took him nearly a month to realise it also had to do with Tohru.

Which wasn't to say that Yuki treated the girl differently, that was stupid. There was just something missing, in the way he spoke to her, or touched her, or whatever he happened to be doing with her. Kyo found himself becoming increasingly distracted by it, constantly thinking, pondering it to himself.

When he figured it out, he cursed himself for being so dumb. Yuki was not treating Tohru any differently, but that was it. He was going through the motions, and that was as far as he went. The… emotion, which used to lie under every single contact with Tohru, was missing. Yuki just didn't seem to care anymore. Not about Tohru anyway. And the girl had seemed to notice. Oh, she was oblivious for a long time, to be sure. At least another month, before she started to act differently towards Yuki as well.

Again, it was nothing obvious, but there was definitely a drifting apart, between the two, and it was beginning to irritate Kyo.

"Hey."

Tohru spun around in surprise. "Oh! Kyo, you scared me! What are you doing up so late at night?"

The orange haired boy frowned. "I could ask you the same question. I woke up and wanted a glass of water, and heard you bumpin' around down here. I came to see what the hell was going on."

Tohru blushed, and moved to sit down at the table. "Oh. I'm sorry I bothered you Kyo. The truth is, I couldn't sleep. I've been so worried lately. Worried about Yuki." She glanced up at Kyo quickly, silently apologising about having to talk about the other boy to him. "It's just that, he won't, he won't talk to me anymore. Not properly, like he used to. And he… I don't even know. He just seems so distant lately. I don't know if I did anything to upset him, or offend him, or if he just doesn't like me anymore, but I hate feeling this way, like I'm… like I'm a burden to him now. I'm really sorry Kyo. I shouldn't be bothering you with this right now." She stood up to go, and he quickly grabbed her arm gently. She turned her head to the side, but he caught a glimpse of tears. He tugged her closer, and let her head rest against his chest. "Hey. Don't worry so much. I'm sure you didn't do anything to offend him." Kyo took a deep breath. He knew he needed to keep calm, and get the right words out, or risk upsetting her even more. "I think that if the r… that if Yuki had something on his mind, something like that, I think he would tell you. I… I think you should maybe try to talk to him. See exactly what it is that's bothering him. Maybe tell him how you're feeling. He might not know what he's doing, you know what I mean?"

She blinked up at him, and rubbed her eyes. "I… yes Kyo. I think I do. You're right. I should talk to him. It might just be a simple misunderstanding. I'll talk to him tomorrow." Her gaze wandered to the clock. "Oh! We should get to bed! It's late, and we have school tomorrow!"

Kyo laughed softly at her sudden panic, and sent her off to bed, telling her he would be up as soon as he had had his glass of water.

He emptied the glass and was still thirsty, so he ran the tap again.

"That was very compassionate of you. I believe for once you said exactly the right thing to her."

Kyo spun around, startled at the sound of Yuki's voice.

"Yeah…yeah, well, you're the one treating her badly, I just wanted to make her feel better. Do you even know what you're doing to her you damn rat?"

Yuki took a few more steps into the kitchen, moonlight spilling over his hair.

"Yes. I am aware of it. But unfortunately, I don't know how to undo it, or stop it."

Kyo smirked, and took an aggressive step forward. "Well that should be damn obvious. Say you're sorry and didn't mean it, then don't do it again. Duh." He lifted his hand, to get his point across, and was surprised when it connected with Yuki's head. It was not a hit, it was just that Yuki's head was suddenly where his hand was going, and he was unable to stop it in time. Startled, he tried to move it away, and jumped as Yuki's hand shot out, and held it in place, cupping the rat's head.

"What… what are you doing, rat?" he asked, fingers curling absently into Yuki's hair, who stepped forward, suddenly far too close. "Nothing really," Yuki whispered, before leaning in, and delicately licking one of the veins in Kyo's neck.

The cat jumped, and his hand tightened in Yuki's hair, pulling him away. "What the hell?" he whispered, and Yuki laughed at the breathiness of that remark.

"Goodnight, stupid cat," he whispered back, before stepping away, and leaving the room, leaving Kyo standing there, staring stupidly at the door.

Kyo lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. The rat had licked him. Yuki had licked him, for crying out loud! What the hell was up with that? His hand strayed wonderingly to the place, where the memory of Yuki's tongue burned on his skin.

It was himself that Kyo noticed a change in next. He found that he couldn't even look at Yuki, let alone fight or argue with him, without going beet red, remembering Yuki's tongue on his neck. Shigure always laughed loudly when Kyo, red in the face, stood and stumbled from the room, having made eye contact with Yuki, but he found that he was intensely embarrassed to just be around the other boy.

His uneasy avoidance of the other made their household very quiet, and soon Kyo found himself thinking that it might not be such a bad thing. All his bruises had finally disappeared, for one, and he didn't have to constantly be on his guard for the other boy. He got to relax.

"Damn rat should have licked me ages ago," he murmured one day, then pulled himself up short. "What the hell did I just say!" Shuddering in horror, he swallowed, and deliberately pushed it to the back of his mind. "Stupid rat should never have licked me at all."

That night, it came back to him in full force.

"Yuki."

A small part of Kyo wondered why he was calling the rat by his first name, but only a small part, and only for an instant. It was completely wiped out of his brain, as Yuki smiled, actually smiled, at him! He strode confidently towards Kyo, that smile widening, just a fraction, before he leaned forward, and pressed his lips gently against the side of Kyo's neck. Exactly where he had licked it before. Kyo moaned, and his hand came up to slide into Yuki's hair once more, not to pull him away this time, but to hold him closer, silently ask him not to move away. Yuki complied, his lips parting, his tongue flickering out, licking Kyo's neck, not just once, but many times, over and over, laving the skin there until Kyo was breathless at the sensation. "Yuki…" He moaned, and lowered his own head to the boy's neck. But he didn't lick. He laughed softly to himself, as Yuki cried out, and Kyo nipped at his neck again, then moved his mouth away.

Their eyes connected, and Kyo knew what was coming next. He lowered his head, as Yuki raised his slightly, and… Kyo woke up, hard and shuddering.

"Rat." There, that was better. Kyo knew this was reality. Yuki looked up, and licked his lips. Kyo had no idea if this was a conscious thing or not, but he went red, all the same. It didn't matter though, he needed to have this out with Yuki. The dreams had continued, and they were getting worse. Better. He didn't know. More intimate anyway. "Rat. Y…Yuki. I need to know. Why did you lick me that night?" He was startled when the other boy flushed almost as red as he, and a thought occurred to him. A slow smirk spread across his face. "I see." Yuki stood up, trembling. "What do you see, Stupid cat? You're to dumb to see what's right in front of your face!" Kyo's smile didn't waver at all. "Yeah. I know." Yuki's face went white at this, but Kyo continued. "It took me a long time, didn't it? I was being stupid." He advanced on the other boy, watching as Yuki took a step backwards, still unsure. Finally, he stopped, right in front of him. "I may be slow," he murmured, "but if you give me enough time, I will eventually catch on." He leaned down slowly, and licked Yuki's neck. The rat cursed moaned low in his throat, and let his body sag against Kyo's. "Good. I… I didn't know if you'd figure it out eventually or not…" Kyo chuckled, lips still against Yuki's throat, and the other boy shivered at the sensation. "Oh, I got it Yuki." He moved away a little, and Yuki made a small noise at the loss, but it was smothered as Kyo's lips descended on his. Yuki's hands crept up and gripped Kyo's shirt, clinging to him desperately, and the cat cursed and pulled him closer. They both had what they wanted now.
