Time for me to go back to the drawing board! I know I probably shouldn't have posted chapter 2 as two different chapters, but I wanted to let you guys go on, before it was a month later(like it is right now…) Well, I guess it's because I've been having some serious writers block, so yeah… Anyway, disclaimer time!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, as always… Alright, last disclaimer, because I don't feel like typing it anymore.
(Tohru's POV)
"So? You don't think that I'll try and go out of my way to try and get to know you?" Kyo asked.
"Yes," I said, then resented my statement, "I mean no! Yes I mean no. I think that you would if you really wanted to. I know that I haven't known you for even a day, but it seems like I've known you for years upon years!" I told him.
"Yeah, I guess that's true, I feel that same way… I do admit that it feels as if I've known you for years. Trust me, if I wasn't trying to get to know you, I wouldn't even be talking to you right now," he told me.
"So what you're saying is that the only way you really accept someone is if you talk to them on your own?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. I'm not known as the most outgoing person, I would say. I'm sure you're the same way, but you would go out of your way to help someone out more than I would. When I was growing up, I guess I was taught to look out for myself for-"he stopped himself. "For certain reasons," he didn't elaborate on what that meant.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked him bluntly.
"Trust me, you don't want to know. If you were to know, you and your mom would be put in danger. I'm sure you wouldn't forgive me if I was to put you in harm's way," he said.
"Alright, I won't pry. Just remember, if you want to tell me, I'm here to talk. I know you're not the type to express your emotions," I told him.
"Yeah, yeah. I know, but that will never happen. I've only confided in one person, and that one person is my master. The only way I would confide in another person is if-"he stopped himself again. "Well, I guess that would only happen if my secret were to come out."
"Well, I'm always going to be here if you want to talk. Anyways, I'm going to go prepare dinner. What do you want?" I asked.
"I don't care what you make. I'm going to go relax, call me when it's done," he told me.
"Alright, I guess I should get started," I said to myself. I walked around the house trying to find the kitchen. Then, I stumbled across a place that was a complete mess. It looked as if it hadn't been cleaned for years.
"Umm, Kyo, can I ask you a question?" I called up to him.
"What is it?" he called back down.
"Well, which room is this?" I called back to him.
He sighed, and came down. He took one look at the room I was referring to, and simply said, "That's the kitchen. Of course, you wouldn't know that, because the last time it was used was-"he thought for a moment, "Well, never the time I've been here. So, what do you think you're going to make?" he asked.
"I can't cook in a kitchen with this huge mess, so I'll cook tomorrow. How about we order out? I'm going to assume that you know of some good places to eat?" I asked.
(Kyo's POV)
"So what you're telling me is that you've never ordered out before? Don't you ever get a chance to let someone else cook?" I asked her.
"Why? I love to cook, why would I let someone else do that?" she asked. "What would you ask something like that?"
"Well. I personally do not like to cook, but I can really well. Of course, I don't cook for anyone but myself. The only way I would cook for another person would be is if I really liked them. Of course, I don't like that damn rat and that damn dog. Naturally, I don't even bother to cook anymore. Of course, that damn rat Yuki makes everything charcoal, and I finally can do something better than him, but the way others would see it would be is that it's more of a girlish passion. I mean, if I'm by myself, I don't mind it. If it's for a group, I can't stand it. Then again, I guess it's me and my selfish nature taking over," I told her.
She smiled and responded, "I know what you mean. Mom is like you in that department. Of course, you said for yourself, you've been alone, and have learned to be selfish. Don't worry; I would never make you help me. I would rather have you relax, especially now, seeing as you're injured. I don't want you overexerting yourself," she told me.
"Of course I won't. Alright, let's see, what should we have tonight?" I asked her.
"Let's see. Hmmmm. Choose what you think would be best for tonight." She said and smiled.
"Alright, how about we go with pizza. We haven't had it in a while, and you look like you could stand to gain a few pounds. I-I mean, not to offend you or anything. If you don't want pizza, I'm sure we could go with something else-"I rambled on.
"It's alright; I think pizza would be a fine choice. I haven't had it in so long either too. I think we could do two, maybe?" she asked me.
"Yeah, I'm sure they won't care what we pick. So, I guess we could do a veggie pizza, and a ham and bacon one. That sound good?" I asked, making sure she was fine with the choice.
"Yeah, sounds great," she said with a smile.
Just after I made the call, and grabbed the money, we were interrupted by the sound of Shigure and the others. I guess our quiet evening had to come to an end. What a pity.
"Hi mom, Shigure, Yuki; did you get everything?" she wondered.
"Yeah, there's only three boxes to grab, seeing as we didn't really have anything to begin with," Kyoko told her.
"Alright, I'll go grab them. Want to help me Yuki?" she asked.
"Of course Miss Honda, seeing as I'm the only one, because that stupid cat has his broken limb."
"What was that, you damn rat? Come back here so I can kick your ass!" I yelled at him. All he did was smirk my way, and went to help Tohru.
Well, I guess there you have it? I'm sooooooooooo sorry it took so long! I've been getting busier and busier. It can't be helped. I'm going to start the next chapter tomorrow after me stupid PLAN test. I also haven't updated, because no one is reviewing! I want you to tell me your thoughts, if you have any good ideas as to where the direction of the story should go ect. This would be very helpful, seeing as, I'm having writers block… So please, R&R! If not, I will not be updating for a while (maybe months, which I will do). Also, I've posted a poll on my profile as to which story I should do next based be category.
