I was pleased to see 4 reviews right when I got up the next morning! You know how it goes of your morning routine; for myself, I get up, get dressed, do my bathroom stuff, eat breakfast, go to school, come home, do homework, then check my e-mail. I personally think that I check it more often rather than doing my homework! Well, enough of my rambling, disclaimer time!

Disclaimer: As much as I want to own Fruits Basket, I sadly do not. I only own this clock, my cloths I'm wearing, and this pillow.

(Tohru's POV)

It felt that the morning had gone by in a blur. It felt as if we didn't even go home yesterday. I guess life has a way of going by fast. It seemed that everything was like that, ever since last night. I wondered why that was. Did it have something to do with moving into the Somah's house? Did it have something to do with the near-death experience mom had? Or was it something else entirely?

"TOHRU! Did you hear me?" Uo asked.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying? I kinda spaced out," I admitted.

"You've been doing that a lot lately. Does this have something to do with Orange Top?" she asked.

"Something to do with Kyo? No, why would it? Al least, I don't think it does. I mean, every time I think of him, I feel all jumbled inside, like I don't know what to say or do around him-" I was interrupted by Uo.

"I knew it. Tohru, you're in love," she said as if it was obvious.

"W-w-w-what? What do you mean I'm in love? I don't know the first thing about love!" I said, panicking.

"Don't worry about it; love is a beautiful thing, if you're with the right person," Uo told me.

"What do you think I should do?" I asked her, feeling like she would give the best advice out of the whole group.

"I'll find out if he likes you, if he does, you should confess to him. It seems like he could use someone to ground him. I'll tell you at lunch," she told me and went to find her seat before class started.

(Kyo's POV)

We had a small break before we were going to go on. Usually during these, friends start talking to one another; gathering in their own little clicks like before class. Of course, I'm usually alone during these breaks; people know not to come near me. Because of this, you could imagine my surprise when the Yankee came over to talk to me.

"I have a question for you," she put bluntly.

"Wow, you get straight to the point. So, what do you need answered," I asked, preparing myself for some sort of trivia.

"I was wondering, what do you think of Tohru?" she asked. Wow, not what I was expecting.

"W-w-what do I think of her? What kind of question is that?" I countered, hoping it would steer her clear of talking feelings with myself.

Sadly, it didn't work. "Nice try, but I want to know. I see the way you look at her. You look at her so much, I'm sure you don't even notice it yourself. You look at her with those adoring eyes. You like her, don't you?" Yankee asked.

Damn, she figured it out, only by looking at my actions, she didn't even have to look at my body language to figure it put. I might as well answer truthfully. "Yeah, I do. What brought this on?" I had to know.

"Well, what if I was to say that she likes you too?" she asked me.

"Well, does she?" I wondered, wanting to know.

"What do you think? Why else would I be here asking you if you like her?" she demanded to know.

"Because you've been watching me secretly? So, what you're saying is, she likes me?" I asked, getting nervous all of a sudden.

"No shit Sherlock! What do you think? Gosh, you're about as dumb as someone who's never had a girlfriend," she said. Wow, she was good.

"That's because I've never had one," I mumbled so low that she couldn't hear.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you," she told me.

"I've never had a girlfriend, okay?" I told her.

"Really? You've never ever had one? I thought a good looking guy like you would've had one, maybe two girlfriends," she told me, surprised.

"So, what do you think I should do?" I asked, wanting to know what she thought.

"You should ask her out! What else?" she asked me.

"How do you know for sure she would say yes?" I asked, nervous.

"Because I know she likes you. You both clearly do not see how you look at each other," she told me, as the bell rang for us to return to our seats.

(Tohru's POV)

The bell rang for lunch, and we made our way to the cafeteria. I walked with Uo, seeing as Hana was sick, so she stayed home.

"Did you find out if he likes me?" I asked, nervous.

"Oh yeah, he does. I can't believe you both cannot see it. I'm sure if you were to ask everyone, they could tell you that it is completely obvious that you two are in love," she told me.

"Really?" I asked her.

"Yeah," she said, as Kyo caught up to us.

"Hey Tohru, could I talk to you?" he asked me.

"Sure, where do you want to talk?" I asked.

"Follow me," he said. I looked at Uo, as she ushered me to follow him. I quickly rushed to catch up with him. We got to our spot on the rooftop, and we both sat where we were the other day.

"So, what's up, Kyo?" I asked, wondering what he wanted to talk about.

(Kyo's POV)

'What's up? I thought that Yankee was going to tell her or something. Damn, how should I put it?' I wondered to myself.

"Kyo? What's wrong?" a small voice said beside me.

"You know, same old same old. Everything's fine. I was wondering, what do you think of me?" I asked, truly wondering what she thought.

I could tell the question took her by surprise. It took her a moment to respond. "I think you're an amazing person. I really like to be around you; it feels right, complete. At first, when it was just me, Uo and Hana, I always felt as if something was missing. Then I met you and Yuki and Shigure. After that, it felt as if everything was falling into place," she told me.

"I feel honored that you feel that way," I told her, suddenly getting nervous about asking her.

"So, I was wondering, would you like to be my girlfriend?" I asked her, wanting her to say yes.

She didn't respond, so I took that as a no. That Yankee was going to pay hell when I saw her again. As I was thinking all hope was lost, I felt a pair of arms around myself. I was prepared to turn, but I felt no such transformation coming to myself. I turned around, glancing at the young woman I just confessed to, and saw her still holding onto me. It was as if she was afraid to let me go.

She looked at me, and I saw the tears flowing down her face. Tears of joy. "Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend," she told me, still holding onto me.

"Really? You do?" I asked, not sure if I heard her correctly.

"Yeah. If I have to day it in every language, I will. There is no one else I would rather be with, than the person who is right in front of me. I guess you must really love me, because you're not transforming into your zodiac form," she said.

"How did you know about that?" I asked her.

"Mom told me the story so much, I still know it as well as when she first told me. Also, because her and Shigure are dating. She told me that when he confessed to the one he truly loved, his curse broke. It makes me wonder if-" she was interrupted by the sound of a door opening.

"There you guys are! Yuki and I were starting to get worried!" Alyssa said.

"Alright, we're coming. Come on Tohru," I said, as we started walking down to the cafeteria, hand in hand.

(Tohru's POV)

We got back to the cafeteria, hand in hand. Everyone immediately congratulated us, knowing that we had gotten together.

"How in the hell did you guys know that we were together? I never told anyone I liked Tohru!" Kyo yelled at them.

"Well, you stupid rat, you made it obvious that you did. All we had to do was mention Tohru's name and you would flush tomato red," Yuki told everyone else.

"So true. I barely know you, and I knew immediately that you like her! I mean, come on! The new kid already knowing who likes who? That says something!" Alyssa told him.

"Guys, stop ganging up on Kyo! I know everyone knew that Kyo liked me, but you guys don't have to make fun of me! I'm sure I could tell everyone who Yuki likes-" I began, but then was covered up by Yuki.

"Alright, what are you guys doing this weekend?" I asked everyone.

"I'm going over to Machi's house to discuss student council plans. What about you Miss. Alyssa?"

She sighed," How many times have I told you not to call me that! It's just Alyssa! Does no one listen to me? When you call me that, it makes me sound old!"

"Sorry about that Alyssa, he was raised like that. Unlike Kyo here, where he wasn't raised with the respect Yuki as been taught. I guess that what happens when you're raised to take care of yourself," I told the last part to myself.

"What was that?" Alyssa asked?

"Oh, um, never mind. So, what do you think you're going to do over the weekend?" I asked her, changing the subject that lasted the rest of the day.

Alright guys, what did ya think? I know, it's been almost two weeks, but I've been super busy! I would've updated sooner today, but my mom had the idea that we should spend my week of Spring Break spring cleaning. Oh joy. I get to paint tomorrow when my stepdad is at work (around 6:30 pm), so that means I get to pull an all nighter! He doesn't know, so I'm excited to see what he thinks of the color. I also got baptized on Saturday, and I didn't get home till late, so I was tired. Finally, people have not liked my facebook page and I'm not sure about my twitter, as well as my poll on my profile, but I would appreciate it if people did. Till next time!
