Rating: T

Sub-Story Title: Kyo Hates Everything

Fruit of Choice: Orange

Pairing of Choice: Kyo/Tohru

This one's for you Amy!

He hated Oranges. Hated his hair color because it was orange. And when that damn rat had the nerve to present him with sliced oranges when he got home, Kyo had to rant.

"What the hell is this? You know I don't like oranges!" Kyo yelled, fuming as he glared at Yuki.

"And miso and leeks. We get it. Miss Honda made them for us this morning, and since she is at work now, you can sit down and enjoy what she prepared." Yuki said softly. "Or, you can be an idiot cat and sulk upstairs, and I'll eat your oranges for you."

"Why you little-!"

Yuki's hand came up suddenly, his fist an inch from Kyos forehead. "I'm not in the mood, cat. So tuck your tail between your legs and eat."

"Isn't that usually what a dog does?" Shigure asked, entering the kitchen with a newspaper.

The only answer he received was an orange slice to the face. Shigure pouted and retreated to his office. Turning back to Kyo, Yuki saw that he was about to protest. Shaking his head, Yuki flicked Kyo in the forehead hard enough to send him through the paper door.

"Yuki..." Shigure whined as he poked his head out from his office, ever wary for more orange slices. "That's the second door this month! Fix it."

"The cat should fix it," Yuki stating, gently picking up an orange slice and tossing it in his mouth.

Shigure snickered. "Kyo!" He called. "Fix the door when you gain consciousness!"

"What for?" Kyo called back, rubbing his forehead angrily.

"You don't want Tohru to do it do you?"

That shut Kyo up as he dragged himself off the ground and began to try to fix the door.

Humming to herself, Tohru walked home alone. She was surprised to see neither Sohma boy waiting to pick her up, and then again, she didn't expect to be picked up every night. She didn't want to be a burden to them in any way.

Someone zoomed past her, almost knocking Tohru to the ground.

"Kyo...?" She asked.

"No talk! Gotta pick up Tohru!" He called behind him.

Tohru smiled to herself. Maybe Kyo was a bit of a space case today. She continued walking home, grinning to herself. She wondered what Kyo would do when he figured out it was Tohru herself he passed on his way to pick her up.

"I'm home," she said, slipping off her shoes when she got inside.

"Welcome home, Miss Honda," Yuki said, smiling at her when he saw her. "Where's the cat?"

Tohru laughed. "He passed me on his way to 'pick me up.' I wonder when he'll realize it."

Yuki chuckled, heading upstairs to finish some homework. Setting her bag down, Tohru opened the fridge. She saw the oranges that she had made Kyo still in there, and she wondered if Yuki didn't give them to Kyo. She pulled them out and set them on the table.

She began slicing a new orange for herself. She was rather hungry, and she would wait up for whenever Kyo got home.

Tohru was almost asleep at the table when Kyo came barging in the house. He saw her sitting at the table, before he slapped his forehead.

"I passed you! I was so focused on...why didn't you say something!" He exclaimed.

Tohru jumped. "I'm sorry! I thought that maybe you would realize that it was me and come back."

Kyo sat down across from her and sighed. "When I got there, it was all dark and closed up. I thought that maybe something had happened to you. I spent a good two hours roaming everywhere looking for you."

"You must be hungry," Tohru said, pushing the plate of oranges in front of him. "Go ahead and have some. I noticed that you didn't have any for a snack today."

"No thanks," Kyo murmured.

"I insist," Tohru said, "after all, you've been out looking for me and you must be a little hungry."

Kyo eyed the oranges with a look of disdain.

"Only if you eat one first," he said softly.

Tohru tilted her head, but did acquiescence to his request. She picked up a little orange slice and popped it in her mouth, chewing happily on the juicy fruit before finishing it.

"And now you can eat," she said, smiling.

But Kyo wasn't listening. His eyes were on her lips, moistened by the piece of fruit she just ate. He hated oranges, but maybe he would like them if Tohru was added to the equation.

"Eat another one," he said, clearing his throat slightly.

Her gaze grew puzzled, but she did what he asked once more. He leaned across the table, moving his face closer to hers. Tohrus cheeks darkened with a reddish hue as Kyo came at her, her eyes widening with slight surprise.

"Kyo...?" She asked. She started to say something more, but Kyo had already captured her lips with his.

And it was just as he thought. He could taste the oranges as he drew back, licking his lips slightly. Tohru's blush grew tenfold as Kyo leaned over the table once more, putting his weight on it to get over to her.

One crack later and the table was down for the count, along with a dazed Kyo who had bashed his chin on the impact.

"I'm not paying for it!" Shigure called.

"Kyo!" Tohru exclaimed, jumping up and running to get an ice pack.

And so maybe Kyo hated oranges, but the taste of oranges on Tohru's lips was something he could definitely learn to love.

I just had to cause pain to Kyo in some way. xD I have too much fun with it!

So, this was typed up for Amy, one of my anonymous reviewers! Ill see who's in line next, and keep the requests coming!
