A/N: Tenshi: I so lied! I thought for sure I'd have chapter 10 up by Christmas, but guess what, it's February, and I'm just now getting to chapter 3. I've been sick recently, and I have been reading Fruits Basket like crazy. Last night I re-read my stories that has Fruits Basket, and decided I wanted to update. So here I am. I don't know why it took so long to update; I've had this chapter planned out for a while.
Disclaimer (Hiro): Tenshi No Strange Doesn't own Fruits Basket, But I'm sure you knew that already, but then why would you be reading this if you didn't already know. Are you just that brain challenge, or do you like wasting time-
Tenshi: Ok Hiro, shut up!
Chapter 3
"Yes Hatori, thank you for finding her. Talk to you later. Bye." Shigure sighed, and hung up the phone, it had been only a few hours since Tohru had run out, but already the house felt so much colder. He walked into the living room where both Kyo and Yuki were sitting under the kotatsu looking very worried. "Hatori found her." He told them, "she's staying at the main house right now, he'll probably bring her back tomorrow."
"Like it matters," Kyo muttered. He sounded completely defeated, "even if she does come back, things will never be the same." He rested his head on his arms, closing his eyes tightly. He loved Tohru so much; her running out like that had hurt him more than if she had picked Yuki over him. If she had picked Yuki over him, then at least she would be happy, but when she ran out she was hurting. Even if she didn't mean to she had rejected them both. He had known since before the day she had come after him in his true form that he loved her, though that was the first time he had realized it consciously. Even after that it had taken a while before he would admit it to him self. And now he had finally told her, and she'd run away.
He couldn't blame her for leaving, having two people you live with and care about shout out that they love you at the same time would be startling. Being who she was she probably had no idea until that second when they told her that they had even had feelings for her. He admitted to him self that just Kagura telling him that she loved him had scarred him. No, he could not blame her.
He couldn't blame Yuki either, as easy as it would be to blame the rat like he normally did, he could not. Yuki love her too. He did not doubt that. Tohru had an aura about her that made you love her, she was helpful, and cheerful, and honestly wanted to know you. She wanted you to be happy, and be well tended to. She wanted you to laugh and smile and enjoy life. She treated him no different than she treated Yuki, or Shigure, or Hana, or Uo, or even Akito. And yet she treated them each differently. She was like a chameleon, changing to fit each situation, but she always was exactly what she was, Tohru Honda. Of course Yuki would love her too.
He could blame no one but himself for her leaving. Had he told her sooner, and told her better, or even kept her mouth shut and let Yuki have her she would not have run away. But now she was gone and it was all hopeless. The cat was cursed to remain unloved, and it was all his fault.
"Even if she comes back smiling and laughing like usual, everything will still be messed up." Yuki muttered, placing his forehead on the wood. Tohru had run out because they had scarred her. His heart was shattered into a thousand pieces, never to be mended. He knew she had not meant to hurt them, but even still she had run, she had rejected them. Yuki held back a sob. He loved her. She made him feel whole and complete.
As a child he had always been alone, with only the darkness and Akito to keep him company. But she had come into his world and brought the sun. Her smile lit up his world, and for once he did not have to hide his head. She comforted his tattered spirit and pieced him back together. And yet she remained oblivious. He had realized he loved her the night she left to find Kyo after he changed into the cat's true form. For the first time he found him self being jealous of the cat's true form, and he wondered if he had turned into that thing if Tohru would have gone after him too. After she returned he promised her he would change. He wanted to be become someone she could be proud of, someone she would chase after, someone she would love.
He realized now how important that night was, both he and Kyo and made many changes, they stopped getting into fist fights, and though they still argued it was not on the same scale it used to be. Shigure was overjoyed; the main house had been threatening to stop paying for the repairs that had to be made. Tohru was happier too, happier because they could sit and eat meals together, and be closer than before. She was becoming more and more like family to them.
But still Yuki wanted more. He wanted to caress her cheek, and touch her lips. He wanted to kiss her, and be with her, and have her love him back. He wanted her so bad, that just being next to her no longer seemed like it was enough. He wanted to hold her hand, and go on dates with her, real dates. On Valentine's Day he wanted her to make special chocolates just for him, better than anyone else's. And on White's day he wanted to buy her the most beautiful gift he could, because she deserved it. He wanted to go to the park with her, and to school, and even to the main house if need be. He wanted to be next to her every second of the day. He wanted to tell her he loved her and her to tell him she loved him back. He wanted to be hers and her to be his. He knew that he could stand up against his fears, his parents, Akito, anyone, as long as she was there with him.
But now that was all gone, his dreams had been shattered. She had run away, and rejected him by doing so. She was gone, and even if she came back it would never be the same.
"It'll never be the same." Both boys whispered. They were both defeated and broken beyond repair, and not even their flower, their princess; their Tohru would be able to fix them.
A/N: End Chapter 3. Akito will be making another appearance next chapter. Thanks to everyone for the reviews. Sorry if I depressed you people, if you have depressing stories then you shouldn't be reading this one. Anyway, review please. Bye Bye Baby!
