Hi! This is my second fanfic.. although I had to delete the first one, because I realized just how much it didn't make sense.. so, please enjoy. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, because.. I really need it.

Disclaimer: I don't own fruits basket.. or the characters.. and stuff.

"COME ON YOU DAMN RAT! We're going to be late for school!" A raging cat yelled. Normally, he wouldn't even wait up for Yuki, but he wanted to walk with Tohru, who of course wouldn't leave without him.

"You don't have to wait up for me, you know. I can walk with Honda-san alone," he said, rather calmly.

"LIKE HELL YOU WILL!" Kyo yelled. Lately, since Kyo had finally realized he was in love with her, he had no desire to have Tohru fall for that damned rat, so he could not leave them alone.

It was only a few days ago he realized this. He had gone up to the roof to think about this reoccurring dream he had been having, and gaze at the stars, which always seemed to calm him. She had sat next to him, and asked what was wrong. He should have known she would see right through him. He asked her about reoccurring dreams, and if they could come true. Her answer still rung in his mind. 'I used to have reoccurring dreams too, right before my mom died.' She had said, her normally cheerful expression fading. 'In it, mom was fading away from me, and I always woke up crying. I couldn't tell her, because I was afraid it would come true. After a while, she came up to me and told me she loved me, and I could tell her anything, good or bad. So I told her.. and you know what she said? She said those dreams can come true… but if you work hard enough to stop them, if you do everything in your will to change the outcome, then you can make your future the way you want it, not the way a dream tells you it will be. But..' She looked down, as if she was about to cry. "That was a month before Mom died… I guess sometimes you just can't help it, because I tried everything to keep my mom safe" She had started crying then, but luckily, he had been able to comfort her, like he always had done before.

"Oh, poor Kyo-kun! Are you afraid Yuki may be your rival in love!" And like always, Shigure read him like a book. Kyo's face flushed, and he grew angrier.

"I'LL BE WAITING OUTSIDE!" He yelled, obviously very pissed off. He kicked down the door with ease, probably from doing it so many times before. He stormed outside, leaving Shigure to sob about his poor, abused house.

As Kyo got outside, he realized it was started to drizzle. Good thing he had brought an umbrella, but that wouldn't stop him from the sudden weakness throughout his whole body. He took a deep breath, then calmed down, remembered what Shishou had said to him before. 'If you can't control your anger, you will never beat Yuki.'

"Ugh.. he's right," Kyo admitted out loud to himself.

"Kyo-kun! We'll be there in a second!" called a sweet, familiar voice.

His thoughts switched to that reoccurring dream. "Aishiteru, Kyo-kun!" This made him smile, but only a little. It had brought him to think that maybe, just maybe, she really felt that way about him. Should he tell her? He knew he felt that way about her, but could a dream really become reality for him, just like Tohru had said? There was a part of him that didn't want it to come true. Though he couldn't remember, there seemed to be something horrible, something he could never imagine, in the back of his mind.

"Baka neko. Stop daydreaming and hurry up, or we'll never get to school." That voice snapped him back from his flash back. That voice that filled him with so much hatred, that he couldn't control his anger, despite what Shishou said. Tohru was standing a few feet away from him, slightly confused, while Yuki was a bit ahead of her.

"I'M COMING DAMNIT!" he yelled, rushing after them.

Okay, well, that was odd. I'm not really good at beginnings.. since usually I think backwards. Like.. ending first, then middle, then beginning.. which is really bad, I know, which is why I'm not that good! Well, so, R&R, and I'm going to get the next chapter up, since I already wrote about 6 chapters!

Oh, and here are some translations if you don't know what they mean..

Aishiteru – I love you

Baka neko – Stupid Cat (okay, well, I've heard people say 'Baka' means a million different things, but 'stupid' is along the lines of it.)
