Hello again! wow, its been a long time! sorry i havent written anything lately! school and finals and writers block for new stories. but i finally got a good plot and this, like some of my others, should be a 3 chapter story. this one is rated for language for my and Kyo's mouth. 1st person point of view (i think) and it's from my point of view. I'm 16 in this fic too. o yea...the pairing(s) is/are (my version) meXKyo and (kyo's version) KyoXTohru, but Tohru's not gonna be in the story till the very very very end...maybe...i will not guarantee it!

Disclaimer: i do not own Fruits Basket, or Kyo. i only own myself...and this plot to this story.

Kyo: just get on with the story, dammit!

KKL: ooh Kyo! a lil fiesty today, hm?

Kyo: shut up! its bad enough you havta lock me up in this thing. can we just read the story!

KKL: fine fine! god,if you weren't so dangcute, i'd smack you!

"DAMMIT!" How could one understand this kind of math? People are mathematicians for a living and they don't have to do this stuff! "Teachers only want to torture us," I put my hand to my forehead in frustration. Outside, the pouring rain drowned the grass and flooded every street. Of all the places to get hit with a hurricane, Long Island had to be that place. Luckily, most of us didn't get hit too hard. We just got rain. And rain. And rain. And some more rain!

It was the end of the storm, hopefully that day being the last day of rain. I had homework and, of course, I procrastinated and didn't get it done. Little did I know, the homework was difficult. I would have understood it more clearly, if I didn't have such a throbbing headache that clouded my mind. "Such cruddy weather," I stated aloud. I smirked as I remembered an old obsession. Three years ago; the obsession that changed my life.

"Kyo, the love of my life!" I mocked my old sayings. I stood up and pranced around my room. "Oh, Kyo-kun! You're so dreamy! And the hottest thing on the planet! Come with me and we'll run away together." I giggled at my old foolish pre-teen dreams. "I would do anything for you! I'll 2-dimentionalize myself and we can live together in your cool manga world! Pfft!" I just couldn't stifle my laughter. I was so naïve back then!

Suddenly, I heard a loud banging. At first, I thought it was the thunder outside, but…I knew it wasn't. I just had a feeling. It was coming from the front door. Something pulled me towards the living room and the banging started getting louder. My hand trembled above the doorknob and I gulped. 'Come on, get it together!' my inner voice said. 'Who in the right mind would be out in the storm anyway?' But wait? Who in the right mind? Some insane pervert may be on the other side of the door! The banging continued, desperately. But, what if it was just a poor someone without shelter or food looking for a place to stay out of the rain? Gathering up some courage, I placed my hand firmly on the knob, turned it and opened the door. And I stood there, mouth agape, at what I saw standing before me.

Sopping wet; cargo pants; black t-shirt sticking to the slender yet muscular body; and…flame orange hair! Blood-shot, beautiful orange eyes averted around the room and then locked my gaze.

"Y-you're…K-Kyo!" I gasped in disbelief.

The eyes closed and the tall boy started to lean forward. My legs fell numb and wouldn't move. "Ah!" Kyo collapsed on top of me, and a large poof appeared. When the orange clouds diminished, I found myself on the ground, with the cutest little orange cat in my arms!

"Kyo! Kyo Sohma! Oh my God!" I picked up the unconscious Kyo, disbelieving what, apparently, was the reality. I ran around the house frantically, cradling the weak cat in my arms. Into the tub I dumped him, and thankfully he remained unconscious. The hot water was probably relaxing him. I yanked him out of the tub and hugged his wet body, breathing in his unique scent. I didn't want him to change back to a human in front of me. I was only 16, and not quite yet ready for the looks of the male body! Kyo in one arm, I looked in the closet for a towel to warm him up and keep him dry. An orange fluffy one! 'But will he like that?' I put my hand to my chin in thought. My eyebrows lowered. 'WHO CARES?' I dried him with the towel and laid him on the couch, covering him. I knelt down next to the couch and sighed. POOF! Thank goodness I had put a towel over him.

"Kyo-kun." I whispered. My cheeks felt hot, especially since I was gazing at his beautiful chest.

Kyo stirred on the couch, "Mmm…"

"Ah! No, don't wake up!" I panicked. Then I calmed down, since he was only half awake. "Shh! Sleep; you're tired. You need your rest. I know how you get on days like these." I whispered again. All of my memory of the manga and the story and the characters and everything came back with the sight of Kyo in my doorway. God, he was so hot in person.

He stirred again, and he opened those beautiful, ginger eyes slowly. A second or two it took for him to realize a girl was standing over him, and that he was naked under the cute fluffy towel. He jumped and sat up quickly. It was then, that I first heard his voice.

"Who the hell are you?" His voice was full of confusion and rage.

I should have expected that reaction, but I was still surprised, and taken aback. "I-I'm Kaylie! I live here…but what're you doing here? You're Kyo Sohma…the cat!"

Kyo opened his eyes wider. "What? How do you know that? And why the hell aren't I wearing any clothes?"

"Well, you were soaking wet from the storm and rain! You turned into a cat too!" I exclaimed putting my hands on my hips. "I gave you a bath, and dried you, and laid you on the couch! But I didn't see anything!"

"Where are my pants?" Kyo asked looking around.

"They're…um…here," I handed the pants to him from my clutches. Well, what did you expect? I had been actually touching Kyo Sohma's cargo pants! And yet, I was still in the state of disbelief. Kyo was a fictional character wasn't he? So why…?

I leaned over to him, and let my hand touch his soft, soon blushed, cheek. Everything stopped for a second, and then the next thing I knew, Kyo swatted my hand down and it dropped to my side. "J-just what do you think you're doin'?"

"Why…can I touch you?" I breathed, unfortunately loud enough for Kyo to hear me.

"W-what?" Kyo took my face in his hands and jerked my chin up to him, my eye level equal with his. "What the hell are you talkin' about?" Oh, those orange eyes…so unique…so beautiful…

My eyes drifted from his eyes, to his nose, to his flushed cheeks, and finally his lips. Lips tempting me…to kiss…

"Ah!" I yelped and backed away, my face out of his grasp. What was wrong with me? I had seen hot guys before! I didn't understand how Kyo could be there…really there! But I knew for sure that he was there, sitting in front of me. Now I remembered why I had liked him so much in the past. Looking at him in the flesh was much better than gazing at him in a book. My heart thumped loud in my chest; I was so sure that Kyo could hear it.

"What the hell is your problem?" He snapped at me. "Turn around so I can put my pants on!"

"Okay, okay! You're so irritating!" I turned around and folded my arms. Great, I was getting pissed off already! This was going to be a fun night. I heard some rustling, and a grunt here and there, and then I asked, "May I turn around now?"

"Whatever…" was the reply.

I sat facing him, and he flumped down beside me. He stared at me intensely, and he doing so only made my heart pound harder, if that was even possible.

"Are you sick?" he asked out of the blue

"Huh? No…!" I answered him, confused.

"Your face is so red! Why are you so flushed?" He wiped my bangs out of my eyes and his hand lingered by my face. His crimson eyes were so soothing and calm, like a warm pool, smooth and a wet-like velvetiness.

"It's nothing!" I lifted my hand to try and swat his away from my face, but I felt ticklish inside when I touched his hand. I wrapped my fingers around his hand and slowly brought it down, still gazing into those eyes. I didn't even notice him gazing right back into mine. "I'm okay…" I looked at the hand in mine. Around the wrist were those dreaded beads that could release something ferocious at any time when they were removed. My eyes left his and wandered to those beads, the blood red ones and the creamy white ones.

His hand slipped out of mine, and the beads on his wrist stirred. He gave me a look that was almost like a hating look…almost. Probably because I was reminding him of his curse. If I had a curse, I wouldn't want to be reminded so much about it. It would make me feel inferior…like everyone was looking down on me…blaming me for their problems. Kyo had to deal with it all of the time. I felt as though I would gag. Everyone thinking you're a pitiful thing…not even worthy of being called human. It was nauseating. Having to deal with that your whole life…and learning to deal with it must have been hard. Too hard to even imagine.

Suddenly, Kyo broke the emotional silence with the lamest comment I've ever heard, "So, where's the food?"

I let out a sigh, thinking of how stupid Kyo actually was instead of talking to me. Maybe to try and express his problems. But then, he barely knew me. And he didn't know I understood him, or even how I knew who he was for that matter. I knew that he could only say what he felt like saying to one person; Tohru. That witch!

I gasped, covering my mouth. Kyo looked at me strangely since I still didn't answer his question. But I still didn't notice. I had just, mentally, called sweet Tohru a witch! No! I loved Tohru! She was so innocent and nice and understanding! How could I call her a witch? 'Because she has Kyo…' my inner voice contorted. I smacked my head. That couldn't be the reason! It just couldn't be! How could I be in love with a fictional character? Well…he was right there in front of me…AGH! But that didn't matter! I've just met him, so what if I know everything about him? He's just from a book! He's not real! He's not real!

I was kneeling on the floor, grasping my head, trying to face the facts! I just couldn't make myself believe that he wasn't real! Was that because I could touch him? Was that because he was there… sitting in a cat-style in front of me…looking at me like I was nuts? 'Oh, wait! I still didn't answer him! And here I am practically rolling around on the floor, not saying anything, not answering…just acting crazy! No! I hate first impressions!' I got up slowly, and walked to the kitchen. "Come this way," I stated as calmly as I could without freaking out. 'He probably hates me now…' he followed me, hesitantly. I led him through the door and flipped the switch to light up the kitchen. Kyo sat down at our island-like table and opened one of the cabinets beside it.

"Food?" I heard him mumble.

"No, Kyo. Not in there." I opened the cabinet next to it revealing all sorts of goodies and junk food.

"Kyo? I thought I talked improper!" Kyo took out an apple and munched.

"Huh? Well, what do you like? We just call people by their names here. How about, Kyo-kun? I'll call you Kyo-kun!" I smiled at him for a moment, and then took a carrot out of the cabinet. I was just about to sink my teeth in, when I noticed its color. Orange… I took a bite out of it anyway, clearing my mind.

"So…" I swallowed and sat down. "Why are you here, Kyo-kun?"

"My friend, T-Tohru," His face blushed, "asked me to go to the store to pick things up for dinner. And when I started walking, it started to pour. I feel kinda crappy when it rains…"

"I know."

"Wha? How do you…"

"Never mind. Keep going."

"Um…so the rain was basically draining my energy…and…I don't know. The next thing I knew, I found myself on your couch." Kyo looked at me. Was it my turn to say something? I didn't know; I was too busy staring at his beautiful face. Agh! I did it again!

"Oh, um…sorry. Well, um……you're not in Japan anymore, you know."

"Huh?"

"Yea…we're in New York," I saw the blank look on his face. "In the united states." Blank. "America…does any of this ring a bell?"

"America? How'd I get here?" Kyo almost choked on his apple.

"I-I don't know! Don't point fingers at me!" I exclaimed, hands on my chest.

"America…" Kyo took another bite, hand supporting his chin with his elbow on the table. He slammed his fist down. "Dammit! Now, she'll really worry!"

"Who?"

"Who else? Tohru."

"Oh…"

KKL: well...how is it? plz review cuz i want reviews! it will be interesting please! i'll make it interesting! next chappie has my doggie and my room in it.
