Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. U_U So sad. And I JUST realized that all the other stories had these nifty little disclaimer things, but I didn't pay any mind, cause I thought they weren't important. So I'm hoping that I'm not too late and they don't come to take me away. Because then y'all would never see the end of this fic! BWAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAA *_* (Dazed, its 1:48 and I should be resting)

Yay! I'm to the seventh chapter!!! I'm so happy; I never expected to get here. And thank you everyone who reviewed. Oh, actually, I've got a question for some of y'all. I have 23 reviews, but the site says I only have 20. And if you count them you'll see that I do have 23. So I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. Anyways, I really like this chapter! It's so... well, you'll see. And warning, I'm going to change the rating back to R for chapter 8, so when you come to the Furuba site, make sure you click that nifty rating thing and change it to 'all', or you won't see my fic. And that would make me sad. Ok, I'm done, here is the fic!

Fruits Basket chapter 7

Yuki stood there, unable to move. His head was swimming with emotions. Terror, happiness, anger, confusion, and absolute shock. Kyou loved him? Kyou loved... him? Now way. He knew that over the weeks he had developed feelings for Kyou, but he never expected anything in return.

Kyou, having spilled his heart, let go of Yuki and dropped to the forest floor. He had put his heart on the line, and now he was waiting to see if the fish would bite.

"Kyou-kun," Yuki began "I don't know what to say. Recently, I have been experiencing feelings for you, but I don't know if these emotions are just love or just simple attraction. But I know that I care about you, and I care about you too much to give you false hope. Please Kyou-kun, if you could wait for me, I just need time to sort out my feelings. And I need to talk to Tohru-kun, because I could not deceive her. But-"

Yuki reached down and lifted Kyou's face. Gently, he trailed his fingers down the boy's cheek and smiled.

"- I won't deny that I want you. So if you can, please wait." Yuki picked up the boys hand and kissed it.

Kyou nodded. What else could he do?

"Thank you Kyou." Yuki felt grateful and let the exhaustion take over his body. He collapsed, and Kyou caught him right before he fell. But this time, Kyou wasn't worried about the Nezumi, because Yuki looked peaceful, as if he were in a needed sleep. Kyou gazed at the boy in his arms and was glad that his love was finally at peace. Tenderly, he lifted the boy and walked slowly back to Sohma Estate.

..........................................................

It had been 8 days since Kyou had carried Yuki back to the estate. After collapsing in the forest, Yuki had been asleep ever since. This worried Kyou greatly, but when he questioned Hatori, the elder Sohma assured him that Yuki was just very tired and that he needed to gain his energy back.

Kyou had kept his promise and stayed in Hatori's makeshift room. Actually, that's what he told Hatori. Instead every night when he thought Hatori was asleep, he crept into Yuki's room and slept by his bed, Kyou's hand on Yuki's.

Today he sat as usual, watching, and to his surprise Yuki's eyelids fluttered and his arm twitched. Kyou leaned forward and Yuki's eyes opened. Yuki blinked once and stared at the boy in his face.

"- have you been waiting long?" He wheezed, speech caught by the tubes on his chest. "Sorry, I must have passed out. What time is it? How longs it been? A couple of hours?"

Kyou smiled and ran his fingers through Yuki's soft purple hair.

"Silly Nezumi," He said affectionately, "You've been sleeping for 8 days. Today is the 22nd."

Yuki's eyes grew wide "Are you serious?! I have so much to do, and the garden-" Suddenly, he leaned back onto his pillow. "I really don't care."

Kyou laughed and the sound pleased Yuki. He stopped and studied the boy. As rare as it was, Yuki loved it when Kyou smiled. He looked more at east and relaxed, and his features softened, showing Yuki a more vulnerable, lovable side of his friend. When Kyou was happy it was hard not to stare.

Kyou noticed Yuki staring and let out a nervous chuckle. "So Yuki-kun, are you feeling better? Hatori said that when you woke up you were free to go."

Yuki blinked and then nodded. "Thank God. I've wanted to get these damn tubes off since I woke up." He sat up and struggled with the tubes (A/N- don't know what tubes are called, gomen!)

"Here, let me help." Kyou reached over and helped him with the task. As his hand brushed Yuki's chest, his breath caught and his fingers tingled. He so wanted to touch him, but respect for Yuki kept is hands respectful. Yuki stopped and stared at Kyou as he fumbled with the wires.

"All done." Kyou whispered breathlessly.

"Good." Yuki climbed out of his bed and stood in front of Kyou "But I don't think we are." He held out his hand. "Will you come with me?"

Kyou nodded and took Yuki's hand. Together, they walked out of Sohma estate and away from Akito's watchful eyes. Neither talked as Yuki lead the way, through the forest. Kyou gripped the boy's hand tightly, never letting go. They finally came to a clearing, which Kyou recognized from spying on Yuki before. It was Yuki's 'secret base'.

"No one will bother us here." Kyou looked up as Yuki spoke these words. He couldn't recognize the expression on his cousin's face, but he knew somethin was going down. Kyou breathing quickened as he looked at Yuki. What is he planning? Kyou thought.

Yuki suddenly walked up to Kyou and pushed him backward. Startled, Kyou fell down, letting his hands catch his fall.

"Hey!" He yelled "What was that for?"

Yuki crawls on top of Kyou and grabbed his shirt. He lifted the boy up and lightly licked his nose.

"Y-Yuki?"

"I've made my decision Kyou-kun." Yuki growled, and kissed Kyou hard on the lips.

Tbc..

Hahahahahahahhhhahahah! I like ending these in annoying places. Sorry for the rest of you. But I haven't started on the 8th chapter yet; this will be the first lemon I've ever written, so it's kinda overwhelming. But, you know what would help? Reviews! So if you want me to go to the 8th chapter, please review or I could just stop it now! Haahahahha. Just kidding, even I'm not that mean. But thank you for reading and hopefully (crossed fingers) reviewing. I'll try to start on the next chapter, so wish me luck! Oh, and P.S. tell me what you thought of this chapter. I think it was one of my favorites next to chapter 3 ^_^.
