I'm very sorry for the long wait, my mind has been blank lately…ehehe…I'll try not to let readers wait for a long time again, hopefully, since I know how irritating it can be when you really like this fanfic and still, the author doesn't update! Thank you for your continuous patience!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Fruit Basket. I only own the plot of this fanfic.

Contact Between

You've already been told what happens,

When Fire meets Ice…

Haven't you?

But…

At the first time of contact…

Ice won't even flinch…

Yet…

As time passes…

The powerful resistance that Ice has…

Will begin to weaken…

Slowly but surely…

That…

Is how Fire can beat Ice...

It's all about the

Contact Between…

Recently, Machi Kuragi made a new discovery.

Well, not exactly "100%" new.

She had assumptions before.

But this time…

She's absolutely certain.

Yuki Sohma…

Is actually not a prince at all…

He makes mistakes all the time…

Does not ALWAYS get high marks…

Is DEFINITELY not always NEAT and TIDY. (Like herself-actually not really, she's ALWAYS messy)

Basically, he's human, like all the rest of the students.

But everyone treats him like a god.

Seriously…

Are these people blind or what?

Whenever Machi looks in Yuki's direction,

He's either

One, Surrounded by uncountable amounts of girls, all either flirting or swooning over him.

Two, By himself, doing something, how should she know what exactly?

But, on either times, Machi noticed,

Yuki always looked lonely.

No matter how popular he is.

He always looks so lonely,

As if he was the only person on Earth.

But then he would ALWAYS notice Machi,

Standing from a distance…

Watching him. (Can't blame him for having the feeling of being watched)

Then,

He would smile softly at her.

And she would react with a blush of beetroot red.

This,

Has been repeated a lot of times-already.

Whenever Yuki smiles down at Machi,

She always feels a wave of warmth wash over her.

So comforting…

But she was Machi Kuragi,

Girl of Ice.

With her heart frozen,

She can never accept these smiles of warmth.

No matter how comforting and warm his smiles can be,

Ice will always have to stay cold.

Under any circumstances,

Machi, or you could say, Ice, must resist,

The continuous warmth that Fire offers her.

Little does she know…

This wall of resistance that she has built,

Won't stay there forever.

One day, it will melt.

Without a doubt.

In fact, it is already weakening…

Only a minimal amount, at this moment, you wouldn't actually notice it yet,

I DID actually say Ice is powerful.

And sometimes, even Fire cannot break Ice.

That is, if Ice is strong.

But you can always be sure that whenever Fire meets Ice,

Ice will certainly start to melt,

Yet,

If Fire dies out,

Ice will win,

And rebuild its wall of resistance.

Then,

All of Fire's efforts,

Would have gone to waste.

THAT IS, if Ice wins.

IF.

Author's Note:

I apologise if this chapter was boring and I repeated a lot of stuff-that were boring.
