Me: HIYA!
Everyone: ….
Me: Fine fine, be that way. Anyway, it certainly has been WAY too long. School started and I had swimming to do. (im on the swim team) the week before that, so I didn't have much free time. Oh and the Saw fan fiction is now on hold for a while. Until I get struck with inspiration!
Hatori: Why don't you just delete the story and make it easier on all of us?
Me: I WORKED TO HARD TO COME UP WITH THE STORY TO DELTE IT NOW! Idiot.
Hatori: pfft! You're calling me an idiot!
Me: As a matter of fact, yes I am.
Hatori: -silent glare-
Me: Well, uh, I don't own Fruits Basket nor the characters cept Jaime and Krystal! Enjoy! Hehehe –nervous from the intense glare of Hatori's-
CHAPTER TEN!
The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. Students groaned as they retreated back into classrooms. The rest of the day was boring, and Kyo didn't show up until the last period. Though, the only ones who really cared were Jaime and Tohru.
And soon enough, to the relief of most of Kaibara's students, the bell rang for the end of school. The teacher called out the clean up jobs for the students and each hurriedly cleaned, in hope of getting out of school earlier if they did their job faster.
Tohru and Jaime were assigned to clean the chalkboard, Yuki was excused for a student council meeting, and Kyo and Krystal were in charge of stacking the desks.
"I have to go to work after school since it's a Friday! So I won't be back until 11 pm, so I won't be able to be there for dinner. I am so sorry, I forgot, and I didn't make anything…" Tohru said sadly, as she washed the board.
"It's alright! I can cook dinner tonight! I'll make hotdogs!"
"Hot…dogs?" Tohru asked Jaime.
"Yes! Oh but they aren't real dogs, haha! It's just a name for them, but they are really good! It's an American food!"
"Oh from America!"
"Uh-huh! And they are really good, too! I will save you some for when you get home from work!"
"Thank you so much!"
"No problem!" The two smiled at each other as they finished their job. Meanwhile over to the back of the classroom….
"We are having hot dogs for dinner…" Krystal stated flatly, lifting a car and placing it upside down on one of the desks. Kyo glanced over at her, with a questioning look.
"American food. Don't worry, they aren't real dogs. I just overheard Jaime's big mouth saying it."
"Oh…"
The awkward silence between the two grew again.
"Hey you two, are you just going to stand there forever or what?" The two turned around as Jaime continued waving them over.
"COME ON!" She yelled enthusiastically before skipping happily into the hallway.
"She's odd….but not as odd as you." He stated, then looked over in time to catch the glare she was aiming at him. He smirked and walked ahead, shoving both hands into his pockets.
"Well, let's go before she gives herself a heart attack." He said and walked out the door. Krystal sighed, but followed.
"Krystal! Kyo! I need to go to the store, can you guys tag along? Kyo comes because he should know where the store is around here, and Krystal comes because she will probably get lost if she attempts to walk back to Shigure's!" Jaime explained happily.
You're almost as annoying as damn rabbit…" Kyo sweat dropped, and Krystal shrugged. They trio walked away from the school and towards town more, with Kyo leading the way, since neither of the other two knew where the store was.
Krystal and Jaime trailed behind him.
"So, where were you at lunch? You never came!" Jaime asked concerned. Krystal sighed, rubbing her eyes tiredly.
"Oh, I was on the roof with Kyo…" Jaime coughed, Krystal glanced over to see the goofy perverted grin spreading rather quickly across her lips.
"NO. Nothing happened." She cut Jaime off before she could say anything. Jaime's face fell, almost saddened, which was quite disturbing.
"So have you come up with anything to break the prince and onigiri apart?" Krystal asked, trying to change the subject.
"Oh! Uhm…well I do have an idea! We can make Kyo and Tohru fall into awkward situations together, and then they would like each other more and Tohru can forget about Yuki!" Jaime said happily.
"No good."
"Hua?"
"No good! First off, it will only embarrass the two, and second, Tohru isn't the type to call something off like that if she knows it will hurt the other persons feelings…….whoa.."
"What?" Jaime stopped, seeing that Krystal has paused. Information had just dawned on her.
"Jaime! Do you think…that Tohru might NOT like Yuki and still go out with him?" She was answered by a confused frown so continued explaining.
"You see, Tohru being the selfless person she is, would do anything to make the people she cares about happy, right? Well say Yuki asks her out, even though she likes someone else, she would say yes if she thought it would make Yuki happy!" Krystal waited for a response.
Jaime continued walking, brining her hand to her chin and thinking over Krystal's theory. Slowly, she nodded understandingly.
"That does make sense…but we don't know for sure if it is true…we will have to check up on that with Tohru-chan…." Krystal nodded in agreement and the two quickened their pace to catch up with Kyo.
"Here we are…" Kyo stated boredly as the trio stood in front of the store. Jaime smiled.
"Alright then! Let's go shopping!" She headed on inside first, followed by a reluctant Kyo and a pondering Krystal.
"Oh shoot, where'd weirdo number two go?' Kyo murmured, looking around as they stepped threw the doors. Krystal looked up.
"Weirdo number two!"
"Yeah. Don't worry you are still first…"
"Oh….HEY!"
Kyo shook his head, a smirk upon his face as he walked ahead of her, leaving her behind to scowl at his back.
"Damn you." She said to his back and followed him. She looked around at the isle they turned into. Various food packages cluttered the shelves, all in Japanese. She was amazed at how she could suddenly understand what they said, she even stopped in the midst of her stupor and started examining a package of miso soup.
"…what are you doing?"
"EEK!" Krystal stepped back, stunned out of her daze, accidentally falling into Kyo, who let out a gasp, his arms grabbing her, but not in time to stop her from hugging him. They both waited for the dreaded Boom noise to come.
A moment passed. Then a minute, and then a couple more seconds following. Krystal opened her eyes and looked up at Kyo. His eyes were shut tightly, expecting the transformation to occur at any second.
Another minute passed, and still there was no orange smoke, no boom sound, nor a pissed off orange cat in the isle. Kyo carefully opened his eyes and looked back down at Krystal. They stared at each other for a second before jumping away from the other.
"AH! IT'S BROKEN!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
"What are you two shouting about?" Asked a curious and slightly worried voice of a familiar friend. The two teens looked over to see Jaime holding grocery bags in her hands looking at them confused.
"Uh…"
"Nothing, she was being an idiot." Krystal felt Kyo's fist softly land on the top of her head. Nothing? HE CALLS THAT NOTHING!
"Oh, ok! Well I got what I needed, so come on!" Jaime turned around, smiling, and started walking to the exit. Immediately, Krystal shot him a questioning look.
"It could have been a fluke…" He said stupidly. Krystal groaned.
"a fluke. For some reason that doesn't seem to fit."
"Well how else do you explain it? And if it is just a fluke, then she doesn't need to know…we'll test it back at the house, in private. It probably IS a fluke. Now come on." Kyo said impatiently, grabbing her hand and dragging her to the exit.
Krystal blushed slightly. "Uh….I…" Kyo looked back at her.
"I….I can walk on my own, dammit!" She ripped her hand out of his grasp and glared.
"…ok.." Kyo quickly turned away hiding the slight pink that had graced his cheeks and continued walking.
Once they got to the house, Jaime ran off into the kitchen, Shigure on her tail asking about these 'hot dogs' with increasing interest as Kyo headed to his room. Krystal followed.
"What do you want." He muttered opening his room door. She stepped in after him.
"to test the 'fluke'" She replied simply. "I want to know why you didn't transform."
"Fine." The two stared at each other for a moment.
"Uh….I guess we should hug then, right?" Kyo said roughly, turning his head again to hide his furious blushing from the boldness of the question. Krystal, with an equal shade of crimson rising on her cheeks nodded and the two awkwardly came together and hugged.
They waited….and waited….and waited. Nothing.
Krystal stepped back, her eyes wide in shock, her expression matching Kyo's.
"Do you think this means the curse is broken?" Krystal asked. Kyo shrugged, unable to speak at the moment.
"Kyo…your curse could be broken! That would be wonderful!" She thought aloud, a smile forming, she turned on her heel.
"We should see if it's really true! It would be great if the curse really is broken! I don't get it, I don't know how it could break like this, but hell if it did I'm more than satisfied! You'll be free, Kyo!"
A hand grabbed her arm, stopping her from walking out of the room. Before she could react, she was pulled towards the orange haired boy and felt his lips connect with her own in a warm and soft kiss. Her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.
He pulled back from her, leaving her in a whirlpool of emotions, her hand flew up to her lips, speechless.
"I…felt like I had to do that…" He walked past her out of the room. She heard his footsteps padding down the stairs and finally fading out of hearing.
Me: OOOO KYO KISSED KRYSTAL!
