Seven Minutes in Heaven
Fruits Basket FanFic
A/N: Alriiiight. This is my first fanfic, so it isn't gonna be as great as the ones I've already read about Furuba. But if you think it's good, tell me! I need inspiration to keep writing, otherwise I'll probably stop and you'll never know what happens in the end. -laughs evilly- Just kidding! But please review, I want to know what you guys think! Oh, and I won't write about the game, Seven Minutes in Heaven, YET. Maybe in the next few chapters I will though.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket. End of Story.
Tohru walked up and down the aisles of the accessory store. She needed to find something, a gift, for Kisa for her birthday next month.
It would be better to buy them now, than last minute, she thought. I wonder what kind of things Kisa likes. Hmm…well, she did like that bracelet Hiro gave her last year, but I don't want to copy him. Maybe she would like a necklace? Or maybe some earrings? Oh, but her ears aren't pierced…
Tohru sighed. She wished her friends were with her right now. She needed some adivice on what to get a little girl who was about to turn into a teenager; 13-years-old.
"Yuki-kun would have probably suggested for a bracelet. Kyo-kun would have wanted me to get Kisa-san something special. I think," Tohru said to herself. "Hana-chan and Uo-chan would have wanted me to get her clothes or something along those lines. Oh, this is so hard!"
"Hey." Someone was behind her.
Tohru turned around and gasped, clutching hand-bag tightly.
"Ah! H-hatsuharu-san! You su-surprised me!"
Haru glanced up at the ceiling. "Really? Well, sorry 'bout that. But I overheard you talking to yourself," Haru leaned in toward Tohru. "I think you should get Kisa something she would really like. Something that she would always treasure forever."
"I would love for Kisa-san to get something that she will never forget!" Tohru cried. "But, Haru-san…what can I get her?" she asked, bewildered.
Haru shrugged. "I don't know. But anything you get her, she'll love." Then he walked away from Tohru, heading off to one of the other stores across from the food court. Tohru noticed a bunch of younger girls gawk at him as he walked pass.
She sighed. "I guess I'll just come back next week with Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun. They might know what I can get Kisa-san." She paused. "But what was Hatsuharu-san doing in a girl's store anyway…?" (a/n: makes you wonder, doesn't it? truth is, he was lost. again. lucky he found Tohru!)
Tohru walked out of the mall, heading down the street towards Shigure's house. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air. She tripped over a couple of rocks, but arrived at home just in time to make dinner.
"I'm home!" Tohru called out. She took her jacket off.
"Honda-san, welcome!" Yuki answered from the kitchen. He was still wearing his school uniform.
"Hai! Yes!" Tohru said. She smelled something funny in the air. "Ah…I'm sorry to ask, but what are you cooking Yuki-kun?"
Yuki frowned. "Well, I tried to make some rice balls earlier, but they came out wrong for some odd reason. So I gave them to the squirrels outside, but they didn't like them either." Tohru giggled. Yuki continued, "Now that you are here, Honda-san, do you mind making the riceballs for me?" He smiled at her.
"Of course! I'll do it!"
"Thank you, Honda-san."
"No problem!"
Yuki walked out of the kitchen to change into his regular clothes while Tohru took over the kitchen. He passed Kyo on the way to his room.
"Watch where your going! Damn rat!" Kyo had accidently bumped into Yuki.
"I'm not in the mood for your complaints, so quiet down, stupid cat," Yuki replied calmly. He was really tired. He had been at school till 5:30, and could barely get anything done right. He couldn't even concentrate on his work with the Prince Yuki Fan-club following him around in the halls, shouting out, "We love you Yuki!!"
"WHAT WAS THAT YOU DAMN RAT?!"
Yuki walked into his room and slammed the door in Kyo's face without saying a word.
"Rude, annoying, bothersome rat…" Kyo muttered to himself. He wished Yuki would just fall in a well sometime soon. Kyo's stomach grumbled as he walked into the kitchen.
"Kyo-kun! Are you hungry? I'm just about to finish cooking," Tohru told him happily.
"Yeah, I'm starving." Kyo watched Tohru run around frantically around the kitchen. "If you don't slow down," he said, yanking the back of her apron so she would stay still, "you're gonna hurt yourself. It's just food. You can always cook some more if it burns anyway."
"Y-yes, but Shigure-san and Yuki-kun need their food quickly! They have been busy all day, I assume, so they must be terribly hungry!" Tohru said in a rush. She stopped running, and Kyo let go of her apron.
"Shigure can wait. And that rat doesn't eat anything anyway. Just let him starve," Kyo said, smirking.
Suddenly, Kyo was kicked from his chair and somersaulted in the air, just before landing down hard on his back on the kitchen floor at Tohru's feet.
"What was that you said about letting me starve?" Yuki asked, annoyed. He walked back into the kitchen and heard Kyo's comment about him just in time.
"Ahh..uhh...K-Kyo-kun, are you alright?" Tohru stuttered.
Kyo picked himself off the floor and turned to face Yuki, who seemed to look bored.
"Why you! You'll regret doing that to me!" the red-faced Kyo said.
"I don't regret it at all. You deserved it."
"Oh yeah?!"
"Yeah."
Tohru intervened before a fight could break out.
"Eh..Kyo-kun? Yuki-kun? Please, don't fight. It was just a little misunderstanding! And, it's time for dinner anyway!" she said hurridly, trying to distract the two boys.
"Sorry, Honda-san," Yuki apoligized with a smile. He faced Kyo. "It's that stupid cat's fault anyway."
"WHY YOU!! I'd like to hurt that pretty little face of yours!"
Tohru looked on in shock as Kyo flew through the wall into hallway. Yuki walked over to the table nonchalantly.
"The food looks excellent, Honda-san."
"Eh..uhh…thank you, Yuki-kun," Tohru replied, worried about Kyo. Shigure came in and looked at Yuki through the hole in the wall, pretending to sob.
"Yuki-kun! My house!" He sat down next to Yuki. "Try not to destroy my house Yuki!"
Yuki glared at him and sighed. Kyo got up from where he was and plopped down next to Tohru. They ate in silence, until the faithful Shigure started talking to Tohru.
"Soooo…Tohru…," Shigure said slyly, glancing at the two boy's expressions every so often. Yuki and Kyo were wary of Shigure's tone toward Tohru.
"Ah, yes?"
"What are you getting the lovely Kisa-san for her birthday?" he asked her. The boys sighed in relief.
Tohru thought for a moment. "Ah! Well, I haven't thought of anything yet. I wasn't sure if I should get a bracelet for her like Hiro-chan did, or something else." Tohru looked down, embarrased.
"You know, it was just decided earlier that Hiro and Kisa were going to have a conjoined birthday party."
"Really?!"
"Yes. It should be interesting."
"Hai! But, I'm not sure what I should get for Hiro-chan…and I still can't find anything wondeful for Kisa-san."
"I see. Well, we should all go shopping tomorrow! C'mon, Yuki-kun! Kyo-kun!" Shigure said playfully. "Let's go shopping!!" he exclaimed in a high-pitched girly voice.
"Never. Especially if that rat is going," Kyo said angrily.
"Like I'd ever be seen in public with an idiot," Yuki remarked.
"Will you two please stop arguing and go to the mall? You wouldn't want to leave me and Tohru alone…would you?"
"I'm going," Yuki and Kyo said at the same time. Shigure smiled.
"Lecherous old man…" Kyo muttered to himself.
A/N: Yaaaay! First chapter! So, I kinda realized that Hiro's birthday would've already passed before Kisa's since he's probably older than her. I'm not sure though, I don't think they ever mentioned age in the manga. So it doesn't make sense if they decide to conjoin their birthdays if Hiro's already passed. But I don't feel like fixing it, so...whatever.
Also, I'm not sure who should be paired with who in this story. So that's up to my reviewers! If you think Kyo should be with Tohru, or blah should be with blahblah, then tell me and I'll keep score of who wants who!
Kyo and Tohru
