Yuki & Tohru

DISCLAIMER-I do not own Fruits Basket.

Tohru sat under the aging elm. Her conversation with Kyo that morning had left her confused and speechless.

She could see the anxiousness in his eyes. Even if he weren't so stubborn, he wouldn't say anything about it.

I wonder if this has something to do with last night…Yuki had called her name when she was in the kitchen. He walked towards her, and she looked up, and their lips brushed against each other.

Both blushed intensely and apologized. But Kyo-kun saw it…she noticed Kyo in the doorway and he had seen only their lips touch.

That was enough to send him running to the roof. Tohru only saw him again the next morning.

The conversation was extremely aggravated and she only gotten a few words out of him. That was until he was alone with her.

He asked if she liked kissing him, being with him.

"Be happy." He whispered, and ran off before Tohru could explain anything.

"Honda-san?" Yuki walked up to Tohru. "What are you doing here? It's getting cold out. We should go home."

He smiled and took her hand, as if nothing had happened.

"Umm…Yuki-kun? About last night…" "I apologize Honda-san. It was my fault." "No, it's not that… It's Kyo-kun…"

"…"

"I'm sorry… I know you don't like him, but…"

"That's okay, Honda-san. Please, continue."

"Umm…well…"

Rain started to fall, in slow steady droplets. Tohru looked up, and ended up with a droplet on her nose. Yuki smiled and brushed it away gently. "We really should get home, Honda-san." "Oh, yes…"

Tohru made miso soup that night. Kyo did not come down for dinner.

Tohru climbed up to the roof to see if he was okay. "Kyo-kun, um…dinner's-"

"Not hungry. Go away." "But Kyo-kun-" "I SAID GO!" "Oh…okay…"

"I mean…I'm sorry, Tohru. It's just that…when he kissed you, I-" "But Kyo-kun, he didn't kiss me! I mean he did, but he called me and he walked over as I was getting up and…well…I didn't get a chance to explain it to you! I'm sorry…"

Kyo was speechless, staring like she was from another planet. "You mean…Yuki didn't kiss you?" "Not on purpose" Tohru said, relieved.

"It was an accident. I really wanted to tell you sooner, but I never got the chance."
