I know I know I deserve to be yelled at. Its my first update in over a year. To be honest, I had completely forgotten about this story until tonight when i got an email about it. I don't even read Fruits Basket anymore but I felt guilty not continuing this. I'm so sorry! If people still do like this story I'll try to keep continuing, if not then I'll stop.

The wind had picked up by the time they reached the house. It was pretty chilly and Tohru was wishing she had something warmer to wear.

It was a modest little house, it had a neat front lawn with a little bench and some flowers. Much like the type Tohru had imagined raising a family in someday.

Ryu unlocked the door and stepped inside, Tohru followed him. It was nice and warm and smelled like cinnamon.

It seemed more like the house of a middle aged single mother, not a friend of Ryu's.

He led her into the living room and said," Wait here, I'll get you something strong." She agreed and sat on the couch.

The room reminded her of something you would see in a magazine. The couches were overstuffed and beige, with matching throw pillows. There was a shaggy, patterned rug underneath a wooden coffee table, on the hard wood floor. The rug was just in front of the fire place. Next to the fire place stood the tv.

Ryu came back with the drinks. Tohru didn't even bother to ask what was in it. She decided she didn't care.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked her, "you don't look very well."

"I'm fine, just tired." She tasted her drink. It didn't burn as badly as the previous nights had.

"If you say so." Ryu sat next to her on the couch and put his arm around her.

Tohru took another drink, she felt uncomfortable. Was he moving to fast? Or was this just how relationships worked?

Wait... realtionship?

Was it a relationship?

Tohru looked up at Ryu, he was staring down at her with those eyes. They were so happy, and alive, they were those kind of eyes that you could just get lost in, forever...

He leaned in closer, their lips were almost touching. Tohru wanted him, she wanted him so badly but she still had something tugging inside of her, telling her no.

His gentle hand touched her cheek and the other went to her long, brown hair.

'Why won't he just kiss me already?!?!' she thought.

Then it happened, his lips brushed against hers, and she brought her head up to brush back. She felt a swarm of butterflies go nuts in her stomach, her heart skipped a beat or two and she just stopped thinking. Instinct took over.

They kissed again, with more force and passion.

She felt like she never had before, She couldn't think about anything other than how much she wanted this right now. The drinks sat forgotten on the table and the Sohma boys were far from her mind.

She wasn't sure how much time went on before she heard it...

"Meow..."

'Kyo'

"Mrrow"

'Kyo-kun'

"Ryu... stop..."

"Why? Its just a cat?"

"We shouldn't be doing this."

Ryu sighed and went to sucking on her neck.

Tohru felt guilty. 'but its not like someone like me would ever have a chance with Kyo!' she told herself.

She pushed Ryu off of her, ignoring the hickey he left, and grabbed her drink and downed half of what was left.

Her shirt was unbuttoned. 'How did that happen? Was I just too out of my mind to notice?'

She drank the rest of what she had left in her glass.

"I should get home. I'll see you at practice tonight." Tohru said.

"No, wait!" Ryu started, but it was no use. Tohru had practically ran out the door.

They were right.

She was a slut. She hardly even knew Ryu, and yet she was letting him shove his tongue down her throat.

The drink was starting to take effect, she felt warm, like someone had covered her with a blanket.

Tohru sighed. she had made it home already. She opened the door and peeked in.

No one in sight.

She made a break for the stairs...

"Tohru-san, what are you doing home so early... or maybe so late?" Shigure asked.

Shit, she had forgotten about school. It wasn't supposed to be out for another couple of hours.

"Uh, I got sick," she lied feebly.

He didn't beleive her. "Oh did you catch something from being out alone so late last night in the cold rain?"

"Does it matter? Besides I wasn't out alone, I was at a friends." Her face flushed.

"Have you been drinking? My God Tohru, we're all really worried about you. You've changed a lot recently an-"

"Well don't be. You have more important things to do than waste you time on someone like me."

"Tohru-"

"Please, just stop." She was crying by now. She had never meant to cause anyone else pain. It was just part of the beast she was becoming.

She turned and continued upstairs.

She felt dirty... like she had done something horribly wrong.

Okay so I know there wasn't much about Shigure's new interest in here, or anything about Yuki but that'll come. Sorry if my spelling sucks, It is 4:18 am exactly! I have no life... I know. Anyways please review. I haven't written anything in a loong time so let me know if I've lost mah touch. I smell something burning downstairs so I gots to go! Much Love!
