OkOkOkOk! Chappy 4 is here! YaY! anyways! I noticed that in my first chapter, (As experienced by Kyo) The very first paragraph, I messed up! When Kyo was dreaming about Yuki's past, I typed it in regular font, instead of Italics... slaps face well, we all make mistakes now don't we!!! I promised that there would be Kyo-x-Tohru romance in this chapter, so I'll try not to disappoint! Also, don't expect it to end here...
Here is one of my reviews from my darling fans! (I sound like Shigure…lol)
Oh! This fic is funny! W Thank You, Sailor Sayuri!!! Love the emoticons ! (...they didn't show up when I transferred tghis, though...waaaah!)
I can't wait for next chapter! TT
I hope this fic is going to be a kyouke!
It's strange that Yuki doesn't transform in the other form of the cat, since he doesn't have the thing on his wrist... --'
Anyway, good luck for next chapter!
Please update soon? puppy eyes

Sorry, though, I don't think this will be a kyouke… but who knows…? grins evilishly (…is evilishly a word…? How about devilishly…w/e)
Disclaimer: Sigh, I don't own Fruits Basket…although I wish that I did… besides! If I owned it, this story would be in the manga… DUH!

Chapter 4
Rain was pounding on the window as Kyo tried to sleep through the ravaging storm.
'Aaghh, I hate this.'
There was a soft knock, and a voice like dew dropping from a spring flower was heard through the wood panels.
"Umm, Kyo-kun...are you awake...?" Tohru said tentatively
He was silent for a moment, then roughly replied, "No, it's a storm. I'll be lucky if I make it through without transforming." It got quiet for a moment, and he sighed and said, "…You can come in, you know."
The door creaked open towards him and a fragile figure emerged.
"What do you wan--" he started
"KYOKUNIJUSTWANTEDTOAPOLOGIZEFORWHATISAIDEARLIERANDIHOPEYOUWON'TBEMADATME--" she paused to take another breath, "BECAUSEISHOULDN'THAVE BEENSOFLIPPANTWITHMYWORDSANDIBROUGHTYOUSOMETEA!!!" She was sweating by the time she was done spitting out the string of panics words, and then thrust the teacup full of hot tea at his face.
Kyo looked at her with a face of mixed emotions; he didn't quite know what to make of it, but it was a lot of things all at once, hilarious, no doubt, surprising...frightening? So he took the tea and made her drink it to calm her down. She smiled at him, extremely embarrassed and he did something that he hadn't done in a long time; he laughed. He laughed because something was funny, not because someone was pissing him off or he was winning a fight or anything else. He laughed because he thought Tohru was the cutest person in the world.
"Tohru...I wanted to ask you something." Kyo said quietly
"Y-yes, Kyo-kun?" She answered
He was silent, planning out his words, and then deciding with the simplest ones, "Did you really mean what you said yesterday...on the roof?" He blushed slightly.
Turning bright red, she replied, "AH!" she stuttered and blushed harder, "Y-yes, Kyo-kun. I really do love you. I have always loved the cat" She paused," "…And I always will."
"And you're not just feeling sorry for me?"
"Of course not!"
He looked down at his feet, blushed, then slowly leaned forward and gently kissed her lips. She was so surprised, she pulled away quickly, but then recovered, moving closer to kiss him. Before long, they were locked in a full make-out session, Kyo, hoping the rat or the pervert wouldn't come barging in on them, Tohru just focusing on not embracing her Neko lover.
When they finally stopped, they were both blushing like mad; Kyo's hair was only a few shades darker than his face.
Kyo leaned over all of a sudden and hugged her tightly before he transformed...but not into a cat like he had for his whole previous life. After the smoke cleared, Tohru was left holding Kyo's black shirt and cargo pants, and a bright orange rat was sitting on her lap.
"K-K-KYO-KUN! Y-YOU'RE A RAT!!!" She screamed
'I expected as much. That's one of the reasons I hugged her. I just wanted to test it out.' He thought.
"This is fucking madness." He said under his breath.
She gathered his clothes and by the time he was done sulking (and she was done worrying), he had changed back to his normal orange-haired, hott self--naked of course.
After a quick silence, Tohru said suddenly
"Umm, Kyo-kun...? I'm going to leave for a minute, is that ok?" She asked politely
Kyo looked at her, puzzled, and afraid that she was disappointed or something; "Ok"
She bowed, blushing, then darted out the door and down the hall towards Yuki's room.
'What if Yuki's health is affected by storms too...?' Tohru thought as she dashed down the hallway to Yuki's room.
When she reached it, she knocked politely, just as she had done at Kyo's door. He answered, looking like he had been trying, unsuccessfully, to get some sleep.
"Oh, Honda-san, what brings you here?"
"Um, I just wanted to, um, check up on you...are you alright?"
"Actually, I am having a rather bad day...I am hoping that I don't have an asthma attack." He said, solemnly
"OHYUKI-KUNIFYOUHAVEANASTHMAATTACKTHENITWILLBEVERYBAD!DOYOUHAVEYOURINHALER?ISTHEREANYTHINGICANDO?I'LLMAKETEA!!!" At this, she went into Super Tohru Mother Mode, and dashed downstairs to get some more of the tea (Which fixes everything of course! ), that she had made Kyo, leaving Yuki forced to follow her down the stairs...although he was probably fine.
When he made it to the kitchen, Tohru was so busy with his tea, that until he coughed, she had no idea that he was there.
"Oh! Yuki-kun! You should be in bed!" She ran over to him and pushed him down at the table, putting her hand over his warm forehead and giving him the tea.
"Really, Tohru, I'm fine. I just need to get some rest." He told her, smoothly.
"Y-yes, I guess that would be good…" She paused and thought for a minute, while Yuki drank his tea, "Umm, Yuki-kun…I wanted to ask you something."
"You want to ask me about the Juunishi…?" He asked softly, concentrating on his tea.
He slowly turned his face towards her as she stood over him with mixed emotions; she didn't know whether to feel sad for him or whether to be relieved that he knew what she wanted without her having to say it.
"Y-yes! How did you know?" She was utterly surprised.
"I just do. Believe it or not, Tohru-kun, you are very predictable." He smiled a little smile, as is so distinctive to his personality.
She blushed (as is so distinctive of her personality… ), and Yuki continued.
"Right now, I know just about as much as you do about this…situation." He paused, "Although there is one thing…"
She looked intently at him.
"There is another legend," He continued, "About the zodiac animals."
…But you don't get to hear it yet!!! Grins evilishly There it is again, that word! It just fits! Okay, that's officially MY word! I am copywriting it RIGHT NOW!!!
