Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, the storyline, characters, none of it, nor do I own the song which is sung by Martina McBride and is called "I Love You". I'm not making a profit off of this, this is for entertainment purposes only to appease my psychotic mind.

This is a romance (how very typical of me) about *cough cough, hack hack*- Yuki and Kyo. Written in Kyo's POV. Also, when Kyo refers to his "solitude", just think of that as his room or somewhere that he feels safe and belongs. Enjoy!

Yeah

The sun is shining everyday

The clouds never get in the way for you and me

I've known you just a week or two

But baby I'm so into you I can hardly breathe

How could he? How could he betray me that way? Well, it wasn't like he was betraying me, he knew nothing of what I felt, so I guess it doesn't count. Yeah, I might as well, I like Yuki. Stupid, right? Uncharacteristic? But it's the truth.

When I peered around the corner, after following him, I saw him with Tohru. He was so close, so close to her, and I felt my anger flare. She was sitting on the couch and he was leaning towards her, and then... Then he tried to kiss her. My anger rose within me but then became mixed with hurt and grief, sadness, hopelessness. Tohru stopped him and shook her head, but I heard nothing of what they said, I was too lost in my grief and shock. Yuki sighed and stood up straight. I silently thanked the gods they hadn't kissed. Yuki looked so forlorn, and then I left to solitude. I could no longer watch it, watch what was happening- Yuki was falling in love with Tohru, but I was falling in love with Yuki.

And I'm in

So totally wrapped up

Emotionally attracted

So physically acting

So reckless I need you

So desperately sure as the sky is blue

Baby I love you

I love you

In my solitude, I watched myself in a familiar mirror and touched the tears rolling gently down my cheeks. How long had it been since I'd cried last? More than a year. Before, living with the hope that maybe Yuki felt the same, that hope would have been comforting now, in a sense, because now that hope no longer existed, I missed it. I enjoyed the chase, giving Yuki those secretive and seductive glances that he could never seem to rule out and he would just tell me to go get a life and call me a baka neko.

I secretly enjoyed those times together even if for him it was just a stupid game, a stupid banter or arguement. And I felt the same back then too, but after a while I came to realize just how much I really did envy him and his ways, his stoic nature, his calming effect on...everything. What he had, I wanted so desperately. And eventually, through it, came to relaize what was developing within me. I soon came to enjoy our heated arguments and cruel name-calling. So now I knew I was alone in my passions for him and had nowhere to turn now. He loved Tohru, and continued to stay blind to what I was indirectly screaming to his face.

I never knew that I could feel like this

Can hardly wait till our next kiss

You're so cool

I'f I'm dreaming please don't wake me up

'Cause baby I can't get enough of what you do

Later, I confronted him about it.

Yuki was alone in his room. Without asking whether I could come in or not, I opened the fusuma and began talking immedialtely.

"What do you want, anata baka neko?" he said coldly, without looking up.

"I saw you, you and Tohru."

"What do you mean?" I scowled. I came close to his face as to where I could almost whisper in his ear. I didn't mean it so harsh, I was just angry, hurt, and frustrated.

"You and Tohru, I saw how you tried to kiss her," I told him, suppressing the crack in my voice and the sobs gathering in my throat. Yuki's eyes went dark and he looked at me angrily.

"You did what?! How dare you interfere with my personal life, you stupid, idiotic, useless cat! God, I hate you! How could you do such a thing?!" he screamed at me with anger and hatred and suddenly hit me. I stepped back, shocked. He paused. Suddenly calm, he spoke once more. "You are a disgarce to the Zodiac. I'm ashamed to even see you're face. I hate you, it's as simple as that."

Surely, Yuki must be lying. Could he really, realistically hate me for what I'd done? No, he was just angry, I tried to convince myself. But my disbelief was soon replaced by anger and frustration of my own.

"I'm not an animal, damn it!" I lashed out at him and was the one to hit him this time, knocking him to the floor. Yuki looked up so shocked on the floor there.

"You know what Yuki, I think you need to just shut up for once and listen to what people are telling you!" I screamed at him fiercely.

"Kyo...?"

And I'm in

So electrically charged up

Kinetically acting

Erractically need you

Fanatically you get to me

Magically sure as the sky is blue

Baby I love you

"You're so preoccupied with everybody and everything else, that you just can't see it! You can't see what's in front of you!" I paused suddenly and settled down. "You damn rat, you drive me up the wall. You don't see what you're doing to me."

I heard Shigure run up the stairs suddenly and burst through the door.

"Kyo? Yuki?! What happened?!" Shigure demanded, seeing us both very cut- throat at each other.

"He attacked me!" Yuki yelled accusingly, pointing at me as if I were some sort of troublesome animal.

"I told you, I'm not an animal! And besides, he attacked me too," I said defiantly. Yuki gave me a dark look.

"Listen Yuki, Kyo, let's just forget this ever happened and be friends again," Shigure persuaded us as if we were only small children. I suddenly now only decided I didn't want to be here, in this situation. If I stayed I would only mess things up more between Yuki and I; I didn't want to cause more damage than had already been done to our already poor relationship. Giving Yuki one more undecipherable longing look, I walked out of the room simply, feeling as if I was walking on air and about to collapse. Shigure and Yuki's gaze followed me out as I left.

I can't believe

That this is real

The way I feel

Baby I've gone head over heels

I wobbled down the hall, hearing Yuki and Shigure commense speaking. I was sure my legs would fail under me any seond now and they were starting to tingle from being asleep. Well, this day only resulted in one thing: I should never be a marriage counselor. I had to figure out some way to let Yuki know how I feel with doing it directly. I may get hurt and I may get shunned, but I can't let his relationship with Tohru go any further without him knowing my true feelings.

And I'm in

So totally wrapped up

Emotionally attracted

So physically acting

So recklessly I need you

So desperately sure as the sky is blue

Yeah

And I'm in

So electrically charged up

Kinetically acting

Erractically need you

Fanatically you get to me

Magically sure as the sky is blue

Baby I love you

Baby I love you

Do you love me too?

Baby I love you...

------------------------- Hi! I know that this might be a little OOC on Kyo's part. I don't know if that was the best selection for a theme song here. Well yeah, that's chapter 1. Bye for now!
