Sorry I took so long to write! I had no motivation since I had no reviews but I know some people added my story to their favorites so here it finally is! When I said I would work hard and it would take a short while before I came up with the next one, I didn't lie (sort of), although it has been more than two months (laughs).
Anyway I will have more stories later and I made a complete different story then this, so please read it! Still about Fruits Basket of course! So please enjoy this new chapter, and please please review!
"Hey…hey wake up" Kyo whispered. He gently shook Tohru's shoulder.
"Hnn" She turned quickly to her side and made the pile of books next to her fall on the floor.
Kyo sighed and stood over her for a second "Wake up! Your going to be late! Come on, hurry!" he yelled as he shook both her shoulders. He slowly released when he saw her opening her eyes.
"Hnnn. Kyo?" She yawned softly and closed her eyes, slowly going back to sleep.
"Hey! Don't fall back to sleep get up!" He shook her head and she suddenly burst her eyes open.
"Umm" Still holding her head.
"I'm. So. Stupid!" She cried. "Huh?" he let go. "How could I be so stupid!" She jumped up from her bed and ran to her closet searching frantically for her uniform.
"No!No!No!" She yelled, now searching the floor. He saw piles of book next to her bed and papers scattered everywhere.
"Whats all this?" He picked up the pile of books and set them on her dresser.
"I forgot about breakfast! The laundry!" She started shoveling the papers onto her bed.
"Tohru" he said.
"How do I except you guys to rely on me if I'm not doing what I'm supposed to" She mumbled picking the books up and piling them on back onto the shelf.
"Toh-ru"
"If I'm not doing my responsibility in this house now will-"
"Tohru!" he yelled, cutting her off. "Its all taken care of."
"What?!" She quickly turned her head.
"It wasn't a problem, it looked like you needed to get some sleep" He rubbed his eye and yawned loudly.
"But…" She looked upset " Its my responsibility I should have had it done…"
"Hey" he thumped his hand on her head "You do to much, it would be nice if we helped you with the chores, so you don't over exert yourself all the time"
She gave him a teary smile and rubbed her eyes. "You should take a shower to get yourself awake." he turned his fist into a finger and poked her head making her wobble a little.
"Okay" She yawned stretching her hands in the air.
"Whats with you? Did you stay up all night studying?"
"Yeah… I've been trying but I just need to study more" She wagged her hand at him.
"Did you ask the rat to help you" Shoving his hands in his pocket he peered around the once tidy room.
"Yuki is always so busy I cant ask him!" She exclaimed, aware of who he was referring to.
"You know, you could ask me" he stopped fiddling with her books and looked towards her.
"Huh?! N-No Im always asking to many questions you'll probably get frustrated" She laughed.
She stood in front of him uncomfortably as he watched her intently.
"If you need help you don't have to be afraid to ask I'll try to get you through it you know"
"O-Okay" She said sheeply.
"Oh yeah, where do you keep going everyday, I don't see much of you anymore" He sat down on her bed and continued to stare.
"Umm…well…I uh" She started getting nervous and felt herself getting red. "I gotta go"
She sprinted out of the door and slipped on a pile of papers doing a summersault into the bathroom. A big slam was made by her foot closing the door. Kyo quietly laughted to himself when he noticed a pink sticky note that had been exposed when she had slipped He picked it up and was curious about the message: Sorry I wasn't with you today. I'll wait for you in the morning, okay? -Tochi. He couldn't take his eyes off the note and wondered Who this guy ? Who's Tochi? Is he her…? For some reason he felt angry and crushed the note in his hand. He sighed and put the note into his pocket, shutting the bedroom door behind him.

"Kyo! That smells wonderful!" Tohru came into the kitchen, cheerful and exicted.
He turned around still stirring the pot, then suddenly remembered the note.
"Bah!" He snorted. She sat down and waited patiently for him to serve breakfast.
"Thank you again Kyo-kun" She gave a big smile as he sat down.
They sat there without speaking and Kyo kept quietly to himself. Tohru quickly ate her food and washed her dishes while Kyo quietly studied her slowly eating his. I'll see you in the moring, okay? the message still in his brain.. He angrily pushed his plate aside and sat up giving her a look.
"Sorry but I have to get to school ear-" She said turning from the sink, stopping when she watched him head upstairs shooting a glare at her "Whatever" he replied. She stood there hearing her own hearbeat slowly being crushed. She wiped her eye, sighing heavily, and grabbed her bag going out the door.

Kyo squirmed in his chair, not paying attention, as the teacher spoke to the class. He looked out the window and then over at the pool of heads quickly writing on their desks. He peered over at where Tohru sat and watched her busily writing in her notebook. She suddenly stopped and felt herself being watched and turned to the seeker. She gave him a small wave but he quickly moved his head to the side staring out at the window. She lowered her hand and looked down at her desk. He didn't know thy he was acting like a little kid but for some reason he was upset about it, the note.
"Ring!" The bell yealled for the lunch break and the students happily got up from their desks and began talking excitedly to each other. "Finally!" Kyo yawned. Some class mates came over and talked to him of what happened at school and other stuff he didn't care about but was more interested in finding out what Tohru was up to. From the corner of his eye he saw her come up to Hanajima and Uotani, wave them good-bye and go out the door. He couldn't help but to follow and stood up from his desk going through the his classmates. As soon as he stepped out the door she was nowhere insight but had a gut feeling she went to the right. He caught a glimpse of her hair turning the corner and continued his pursuit. Just then, the young Momiji popped out of nowhere and stalled him for a bit.
"Hey Kyo, have you seen Haru anywhere? He told me to get him lunch but now I cant find him!" He spoke loudly making his ear ring. I think I know why. "So then could I come with you? Then I could hang out with Tohru shed probably-"
"Sorry I need to be somewhere" He brushed him aside and left the rabbit in the hallway. Just out side of a classroom he spotted Tohru but she wasn't alone. A tall guy was standing close to her with his hand on the wall. They were both talking and laughing and quietly stood watching behind the wall. Suddenly Tohru's face was as red as ever blushing while the guy was laughing. He put his arm around her and they entered a classroom. Kyo's face became flustered and angry at the same time and went back to his homeroom.

The coach blew his whistle as the young men begin to ran. Kyo broke off in a sprint and left the other students behind. He was still feeling worked up from lunch and tried to get his mind off it but her blushing face made him angry again. I'm not jealous? Why would I be? If she was dating someone why do I care? But…it's just the damn guy! Who is he anyway?. He ran faster clutching his chest.
"Hey!Your Kyo right?" A voice from behind surprised him.
"Man, your hard to catch up to!" Kyo turned around to see a guy smiling at him. Speak of the devil!.
"Uh…"
"But slower than Yuki Sohma I hear" He burst out laughing. What's up with this guy?.
"Oh! I'm Mamiko Tochi" He ran up next to Kyo and slapped his back.
"What the-"
"Tohru, yeah, she's good" Tochi shuffled his own hair.
"Good?" What does he mean good?.
"Someone like you…huh?" He looked Kyo up and down. What the hell is he talking about.
"Haha, you should try sneaking better! Oh and don't worry, she's all taking care of" He gave him a wink and nudge his shoulders, suddenly taking off.
"Hey! What are you-" Kyo yelled after him but he had ready left. Taken care of? That little….
***
"Hey!" Uotani knocked down the broom that Kyo was balancing on and hit the floor with a hard slam as the blond girl stood with a fist. "Hurry up! I need to get home and we cant wait for your slow ass to finish"
"Keep talking like that and I'll never be done, you bitch!" He stood up and dusted himself off.
"Keep talking like that orangey and you'll be dead before your ever start!" She put her arm around his neck and gave him a head lock. I don't have time for her. He gave her a small push and continued to sweep.
"What's your problem?" She crossed her arms " Did somebody bi-"
"Tohru just told me she was leaving with Mamiko" The blacked hair girl, stepped into the classroom and waved at Uotani. Kyo twitched at the name and spun around.
She nodded her head at her.
"Hey…um…who's this Mamiko guy?" He asked. The two girls turned to look at him with a smile on Uotani's face.
"Wouldn't you like know" She smirked.
"Cant you just tell me" He held the broom in his hand with a tight grip.
"I believe she went to his house to…" Hana trailed off.
"To what? What!?"
"You know some of this and some of that" Arisa teased.
"What does that supposed mean?!" He shouted. "Who is he?!"
"Why do you care so much? Is it because of Tohru…?" Hana asked.
"What!? No! Why would you-" His face turned beet red "Of course not!"
"Then why-" Hana began.
"Fine then don't tell me!" He moved away from them and starting sweeping the floor again. Why cant they just say it already? Why do I want to know so bad…because of Tohru…? They moved closer to each other purposefully trying to annoying Kyo into thinking they were talking about him.
"…That's what she said…he was her…boy…friend…" They whispered to each other.
"Boyfriend?!" Kyo spun around.
"What are you doing spying on people you rat!" She yelled. He tumbled back not noticing the guy behind him.
"Hey! Watch out!"
Kyo fell backwards making the kid fall behind him and knocked down the bucket of water. The kid who fell, tripped and made a group of people knock down desks.
"Nice going! Now where going to have to clean this up" She sighed.
"Here!" He swiped the broom from the kid's hand. "I'll do it, just leave!"
They gathered there stuff and they all left one by one leaving him to himself. When he finally finished, he checked the clock, it took him half an hour. I doubt anyone waited. He took his bag from his desk and left the room, scooting his feet out of the building. As he reached the gate he saw someone standing beside the fence. The girl turned around and waved.
"Hello Kyo-kun!" Tohru smiled.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"I was waiting for you and Hana said you were still inside but I wanted to wait."
"Oh" Did she really wait all this time?
They started walking home in a awkward silence, both of them avoiding each others gaze until they blurted out what had been eating away inside of them.
"What!? No! You go! Not me!" They said simultaneously "Please, say what you need to say" Tohru stammered. They both stopped.
"It's just that…I kind of heard…I know I have been a little…" He couldn't find the words to tell her. She looked at him confused. "I have been a total jerk to you and I have to apologize it's just that…something was troubling me but…I think its settled." He took a deep breath.
"Settled?" She asked.
"I wanted to tell you that…GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND!" He looked embarrassed and turned quickly.
"What?!" She turned more red than him. "Boyfriend?! Who?!"
"That Tochi guy" He mumbled.
"TOCHI?! No! It's all a misunderstanding! Me and Tochi!?"
"Well I saw …you guys together"
"Tochi, he's my tutor! I'm sorry that I didn't tell you but I was embarrassed to ask you and Yuki for help. Tochi, he's really smart and kind! Why would you think that he was my… boyfriend?!" She looked like she was going to faint.
"So,you were never…"
"Of course not!" She assured him.
"That's a relief" He took in a breath.
"What?"
"Nothing, nothing" He felt a great weight lift from his shoulder.
"I'm also sorry that…I noticed that you've been angry today and I think it was something to do with me" She fidgeted with her skirt.
"Tohru…" He began "No, it was me…I was…you did nothing…"
"Huh?" She looked up at him.
"Forget it lets go home!" He took off stomping.
"Wait! Kyo! What is it?" She took off after him and he waited for her to catch up. He took her by the hand and held on tight, never letting go.
