Don't own Fruits Basket.
The next day, Kyo woke up at the crack of dawn to go for his daily, morning, jog. He quickly got dressed and grabbed his IPod. He grabbed his shoes and was out the door in seconds. Kyo enjoys his mornings. It was peaceful and quiet, a good time for him to just think about things or about someone. This morning, he was indeed thinking about someone that's probably still asleep at home. He also thought of yesterday and there time together, which also led him to think about how he almost kissed her. At that Kyo blushed madly and didn't see the abnormally, large rock on the road. Kyo tripped over it and fell flat on his face. "Ugh, where did this abnormally large rock come from?!" Kyo grunted as he push himself off the muddy ground. He picked up the rock and growled at it before chucking it aside. "Stupid rock!" he shouted at the thing. He got up and started jogging again. 'Stupid rock, ruining my nice mood. I can just go back to thinking about her. That would make me happy. Yeah. Just think of Tohru.' Now if a jogger was running up to Kyo and just glanced at his direction, they can see the far away look in Kyo's eyes. Without knowing it, Kyo had missed a turn on the road which he usually took and with his mind being far away, he didn't notice things when he should've been. "Oomf!" Kyo grunted and fell to the floor grabbing his stomache. "Oh my god! What the hell?!" Kyo yell and look at the thing that hurt him. "Where the hell did this fence come from?!" he yelled angrily at it. He got up slowly and then headed back to the road. Poor Kyo, today was so not his day as he tripped over a tree root and fell on his face. "Grr. Someone up there must really hate me to play such games on me today!" Kyo yelled angrily at the sky. Kyo was met with silence and sound of chirping birds. "Great, now your mocking me with your little bird songs. Fine, you win. I'm going home." Kyo said as he started to head back to the house.
Tohru had just woke up and she rolled on her side. She let out a deep sigh and then stretch a little. Her back still ache a bit, but not as much. She then sat up slowly and let the blankets fall down to her waist. Tohru yawned and started to rub the sleep from her eyes. 'I have to come up with some sort of excuse to leave the house without any of them getting suspicious. But how? I'm not good at lying at all. Maybe grandpa could help. I don't know. We'll see.' Tohru then got out of bed and went to pull open the curtains. It was a lovely day, the sun is out and shining and the birds are singing their beautiful songs. Tohru smiled at this and said, "Ah. The simple joys of life." Tohru then headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
Yuki had just slipped back into his room when he heard another door open. He took a peak through his door and saw Tohru, just barely awake, heading for the bathroom. He smile, one of geniune smiles, and headed back into his room. He changed quickly and headed downstairs. He wanted to check his garden to see if there was any damage done by last night's storm. 'I hope everything is all right.' He had knew that the storm would hit, but how bad, he did not know. He had planned a surprise for Tohru and wanted to make sure all is well. He smiled at the memory of when he told Tohru that she couldn't help with the garden anymore.
FLASHBACK
"Awww. Why can't I help you anymore Yuki-kun?" Tohru asked with a pout. Yuki just smile and said, "Because you have far too many things to do to help me." Tohru looked at the floor and asked innocently, like a child that has done something wrong. "Is it because I don't do a good job in the gardens?" Yuki looked at Tohru and grabbed her lightly by the shoulders and said, "No, no. You were great in the garden. It's just, I don't want you to see it for awhile, that's all." Tohru looked up Yuki with tears in her eyes and asked, "But why?" Yuki sighed, he might as well say it then so that he can dry those tears from her lovely eyes. 'She'll forget later on anyways. I might as well say it.' "Well, it's because I have a surprise for you and I don't want you to see it yet. It's not ready and I don't want you to know about it." Tohru's jaw dropped and she was silent. "A surprise? For me?" she asked. Yuki nodded with a smile and Tohru was so excited that she hugged Yuki. "Oh Yuki-kun! I won't peak! I promise!" With that Tohru gave Yuki a quick kiss on the cheek and ran off happily. Yuki just stood there dumbly, wondering what just happened.
END OF FLASHBACK
Yuki smiled at that memory as he finally reached the garden. He went over to the centre of the garden and peaked underneath the little shelter he had created for the plants. "Good, nothing is badly damaged. Just some trimming here and there and it should be fine." Yuki stood up and went to inspect the rest of the garden, seeing very little damage that can be fixed easily. He pulled the shelter off the plants and started fixing them. "This is going to be the most perfect surprise when it's done." he said to himself as he started to prune the plants.
Tohru had dressed and was heading downstairs when she heard the front door open. "Ay, Kyo-kun must be back from his morning jog." She hurried downstairs and saw a very dirty Kyo. "Ay, Kyo-kun! What happened to you?!" she cried as she ran over to him. "You're a mess." she said. Kyo just smiled and said, "It's no big deal, it's just a little dirt. Nothing that can't be cleaned." Kyo then went to go brush some of his hair off his face and Tohru notice the gash on his arm. "Kyo-kun! You're bleeding!" Tohru cried as she touched Kyo's arm. Kyo had a slight blush that rose to his cheek and he was glad that Tohru didn't notice. "I-It's nothing. I'll just go and get that clean up myself." "But you can't bandage it yourself. Come to the living room and sit." Tohru said as she grabbed Kyo's arm and lead him to the living room. He sat down obediently while Tohru ran to get the first aid. She came back shortly and sat down beside Kyo and started to clean out his wound. The whole time Kyo was just staring at Tohru, thinking how badly he wanted to pull her into his arms and whispered loving words into her ear. Thinking of how much he wanted to kiss her, to tell her that he loved her. Tohru was just finishing bandaging Kyo's wound when he spoke. "T-Tohru..." he trailed off. "Hm?" Tohru said and looked up at Kyo. "I..I." Kyo stammered and Tohru just stared at him innocently. "I..I..Would you..." he stammered. "Would I what Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked. "I...You...um...Would you..."
hehe Well there you go. Please review and more will come.
