Hey guys. This is my first Furuba Fanfic. I hope you enjoy it.


Superlatives. The thing that every student buys the yearbooks for. To see who was awarded the Most Stylish, the Most Changed, the Best Athlete, the Most Environmental, etc. But none of those compared to the Cutest Couple.

The students do this on the school's website. The schools staff is the real judge of the Superlatives in the yearbook. That's why kids like to suck up to the teachers when voting for the Superlatives begin. Not that it really makes a difference. They keep their eyes open for possible candidates for every category for the whole year, and then they debate for a week before they officially submit their votes a month before the yearbooks are printed and sold.

Usually the categories are given to specific teachers. Like the Most Changed is chosen by the guidance councilors or Most Athletic is by the gym teachers. You get the idea. But Best Couple is a job that every teacher shares. Most of the time they can't find an honest couple who are truly in love so they just chose the couple that looks good the most.

Not this year.

Because this year Kyo Sohma and Tohru Honda are the winners. This is the story of how that happened:

Mrs. Yagami is the schools drama teacher. She always carries a digital camera with her just in case she sees a Kodak moment or wants to record an embarrassing moment.

One day, after school, she decides to take some pictures of nature. She's already got one of two birds playing tag and a close up of a squirrel staring curiously at her. She turned a corner but then stepped back.

There were two students sitting on one of the picnic tables. Usually when that happens they find the teens in a "questionable" position but these two were talking. Mrs. Yagami peeked to get a better look. She had a reputation for being nosy.

The girl was cute and petite with long brown hair and deep blue eyes. She was delicate and sweet looking with a serene smile. She was sitting in the lap of a taller boy with flaming orange hair and reddish eyes. If it was just him you'd think to be a rough delinquent type but he was holding her gently around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. He had a content expression. Like if the world ended right now he'd be okay with it. They were the portrait of tranquility.

Then the girl asked the boy a question. "Kyo kun. Why do you love hugging me so much?" Mrs. Yagami switch her camera to video and started recording.

"What?" the boy Kyo asked. Mrs. Yagami then remembered that the two kids were Kyo Sohma and Tohru Honda. They recently got together and everyone found them an odd but sweet couple.

"I said, why do you love hugging me so much?" Tohru repeated.

"You already know why." Kyo replied.

"Yes but why me. You don't like it when other people hug you. Before we got together Kagura would hug you all the time but you always yelled at her for it. I just what to know why."

Well this is getting interesting. Mrs. Yagami thought.

"You want the whole truth?" Kyo asked. Tohru nodded.

"I like your hugs because it makes me feel safe and loved. Only yours." He said. Tohru looked confused. "Only mine? Your parents or Shishou never hugged you?"

"No. Well Shishou did when I was a little boy but as a got older he didn't think I needed it. My parents hated me." he said sounding a bit pained. Mrs. Yagami gasped.

"I'm sure that's not true." Tohru said.

"It is true. You know how I was born. My mother could never love me. She said she did but she always lied. She was ashamed of me. Whenever she smiled at me it never reached her eyes. My father never touched me. When he did it was always to hit me. Especially after my mother killed herself. He blamed me for it. It was after that that Shishou adopted me. His hugs did make me feel safe and loved but after a while it got awkward whenever he hugged me. Kagura's hugs were always forced. She did love me but I couldn't love her. And then you came. The very first time you hugged me I knew it was different. It wasn't forced or awkward or fake. It was real. For the first time in my life I felt true love and I didn't want to let go of it. That's why I'm still holding on." he said while holding on to her a little tighter.

Tohru blushed and said, "Thank you for feeling that way."

Kyo shook his head. "No. Thank you for not letting go." He breathed in her scent and said, "I love you Tohru. So much."

Tohru smiled and said, "I know. I love you too." Kyo smiled and lightly pressed his lips to Tohru's.

Mrs. Yagami stopped recording and grinned.

Three Days Later

The staff was holding a meeting for the Superlatives. So far they had decided on the winners for every category but Most Changed and Cutest Couple.

Right now the guidance councilors were trying to choose the Most changed male.

"I think the most changed male should be either Kyo or Yuki Sohma." One of them said.

"Well Kyo has been more social but he's been like that even before. Yuki has really opened up to more people and he even has a girlfriend now. I can't even believe he was the same person as his first year here." Ms. Mayu stated. The rest of the staff agreed and chose Yuki as the winner.

"So. Now we just have to choose Cutest Couple. Who has any suggestions?" the principal asked.

"I nominate Kyo Sohma and Tohru Honda." Mrs. Yagami stated. Everyone stared at her as if asking, "Them?"

"Well they are very sweet but when you look at them separately you wouldn't imagine them as a couple. I was shocked when I first saw Honda with him." The gym teacher stated. Most of the staff agreed. The two really were opposites.

Ms. Mayu thought about it. "Well it's not really that surprising. Honda always accepts everyone and she sees the good in people. Even if she's a bit naïve the fact that she's going out with Carrot Top means that there is something about him that she likes. And Carrot Top is actually a nice boy. A bit temperamental but he's not a bad kid. Though I think he's hiding something from everyone. Something dark." There was always something about Kyo that worried her. Like he's been through something terrible.

Most of the staff still wasn't convinced so Mrs. Yagami said, "I think that if you watch this video you will change your mind." She took out a disk from her bag and inserted it into her lap top.

"You haven't been sticking your nose into other people business have you?" Ms. Mayu asked hesitantly.

"Well I didn't plan on taking this video. I just sort of walked in on a moment between the two kids." Mrs. Yagami stated. She turned to screen towards the rest of the staff and they all watched.

Everyone was shocked to have found out what the short tempered carrot has been through. A few members of the female staff was in tears. Then they got to the end of Kyo's speech.

"For the first time in my life I felt true love and I didn't want to let go of it. That's why I'm still holding on." he said while holding on to her a little tighter.

Tohru blushed and said, "Thank you for feeling that way."

Kyo shook his head. "No. Thank you for not letting go." He breathed in her scent and said, "I love you Tohru. So much."

Tohru smiled and said, "I know. I love you too." Kyo smiled and lightly pressed his lips to Tohru's.

The video went black after that. Everyone was silent. Ms. Mayu was the first one to speak.

"Huh. I never thought I'd live to see that day that Kyo Sohma will say something romantic. And it wasn't even that cheesy." Everyone chuckled.

"So have we come to a conclusion?" Mrs. Yagami asked. The principal nodded.

"Yes. Yes we have. And we couldn't chosen a better couple."

One Month Later

"I don't get what the big deal is. It's just a yearbook." Kyo said.

"Oh come on Kyon. Surely you have to be a little curious about the Superlatives." Arisa said.

"No. I'm not. And stop calling me that!" he shouted.

"Just shut up and look at them. You won't do that for Tohru?" she said tauntingly. Kyo just frowned.

"I thought so." said Hanajima. Then Tohru came running towards them. "I got it!" she said excitedly.

"Great! Now lets see." Arisa said flipping towards the Superlatives section.

"Well well. Haru got voted for Best Hair." Yuki said coming from nowhere. Everyone jumped but didn't ask. "And Kimi did too." said Manabe.

"Hey! Hana chan was voted for best smile!" Tohru exclaimed. That piqued Kyo's interest.

"Seriously?" he asked, looking at the book. "Momiji got it too?" he asked incredulously. Then he saw something.

"Hey Yuki." Kyo called. Yuki looked at him. "You and your girlfriend got Most Changed." he said. Yuki's eye's widened.

"What?" he said grabbing the book. Sure enough there was a picture of him and Machi under Most Changed. Then Yuki turned the page and grinned. "Wait a minute. Look at this page." He turned the book towards everyone. It was the page for Cutest Couple.

And a picture of Tohru in Kyo's lap was on it. The whole class saw this and they all were shouting different things.

"No way!"

"Look and Kyon and Honda!"

"I wish I was in Tohru's place!"

"They look so cute! Look at how he's holding her!"

Everyone looked at their own yearbook to look at the photo. They saw a boy and girl in a loving embrace. The girl had a soft smile on her face and the boy had his eyes closed but had a peaceful expression as he held the girl around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. All of the girls outside of the group squealed and awed while most of the guys went on about Kyo being totally whipped.

Kyo and Tohru were blushing madly at everyone's antics.

Arisa and Hana grinned at the couple. Manabe was laughing and Kyo hit him and pulled Tohru towards him. He back was pressed to his chest and he burried his face in her hair to hide his blush. Yuki smirked and said, "Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Cutest Couple."

"Shut up." Kyo mumbled. Tohru blushed when she felt Kyo's lips moved against her neck. Then one of the girls saw the two and said, "Look! They're hugging right now!" This started a whole new wave of awes squeals.

Kyo just groaned and murmured, "I am so killing whoever's idea this was."

In the drama department Mrs. Yagami felt a chill go down her spine.


Please tell me how it was.
