Author's Notes: Wow! Thanks for all the great reviews! So far, I haven't gotten a bad review, flame or not! You, the reader, have urged me to go on! Thanks so much!
Disclaimer: Alas, Fruits Basket will never be in my possession. Otherwise, things would be very different. . . Yuki's my favorite though!
The darkness overcomes me. Your light has faded away.
Why did I light your warmth pull me in so far already.
You can't imagine how deeply it cuts me, when I'm alone.
When you're by his side, and not mine, I can't help but feel that way.
I smile as he walks away with you, into the dark.
But, I have to admit, I wish it were me whom you cherished.
It was me whose arm you held, and smiled and laughed, with me.
I know it's all over with us, now that you have him.
But please remember my kiss.
. . .Like a Cat Out of Water
There was something different about her. Sure, she was always happy, but she
seemed especially so today. As she stared out the window during dinner, she seemed to glow with happiness. What could she be thinking. In frustration, I slammed my fist down on the table, disturbing the others at the table. I froze instantly as Shigure and Tohru stared at me in question.
"Kyo?"
Damn the soothing sound of her voice!
"What do you want?!" I shouted, unable to control my anger. Her face saddened at my harsh tone. I gritted my teeth, the thought of her crying tearing at my heart. But, she only smiled and started humming again. She gathered the dishes and headed to start washing them.
"You truly don't see what's going on Kyo?"
I heard Shigure's happy voice and only got madder. He smiled at me and shook his finger in discipline before I could respond.
"Ah, yes! Our dear, dear Tohru's heart has been captured and her soul set aloft like a bird to the skies. This man she loves must be truly wonderful. Too bad Kyo . . ." He paused and snuck a glance to my reaction. I only growled back, ". . .It isn't you."
The words hit me hard. I had never really thought of Tohru with someone like that before. And even worse than that, not with me. I could hear her humming, even above the water's flow. It was a calm and happy tune. The world all around me seemed to fade out. Her humming grew deeper and louder, and all I could see was her shining smile. But, all around her was darkness. A mysterious light glowed at the end of a long dark tunnel. All around me she hummed. A man stepped out from the shadows, "Too bad Kyo. It isn't you." His voice echoed around me. Reaching out as Tohru walked away with him, arm in arm, "Tohru!" I called. She flashed me one last smile before fading into the darkness.
"Kyo?"
It was her voice. I snap back into reality, still sitting at the table.
"Are you alright?"
I gulp, a little too loudly, "Yeah, I'm fine." I get up from the table and started to head upstairs. As I walk, I hear Shigure speak from the shadows.
"Poor Kyo. Like a cat out of water."
"Damn you and your stupid riddles!" I rushed upstairs, even more quickly, to my room. I know he meant something with those words. But, I didn't seem to understand. I thought cats out of water were supposed to be . . . happy.
Yuki's POV
Though you left my side, your warmth was still all over my body, still in my breath. I could still feel your lips against mine. My stomach flipped as I heard feet pattering up the stairs. I hoped it would be you, but should've known better.
". . . Like a cat out of water."
It was Shigure's voice. 'A cat out of water'? I think I'd heard that phrase before, but what was he talking about? I lay in the bed, listening for more.
"Damn you and your stupid riddles!" I could hear Kyo clamber back up the stairs again. That baka neko. What if I really had been sick. All his shouting had disturbed my rest. And, my thoughts of Tohru. As he came by my room he stopped in the doorway. I closed my eyes quickly, pretending to be asleep. When nothing happened, I peeked through my lids lightly. Kyo looked outside and then at me, who he must have though was asleep. He walked towards me and leaned on my bed. Kyo looked around slowly and brushed the bangs off of my face and lay a hand on my cheek. He shook his head quickly and ran out of the room. I sat up as soon as he left and laid my hand on my cheek lightly. What was that about Kyo?
I heard lighter footsteps on the stairs and Shigure's cheery voice.
"Tohru? Are you going to give Yuki his soup now?"
"Yes Shigure. It's his favorite!"
"Well, make sure to give him a little taste of what I showed you earlier!"
I could just see you blushing face and Shigure winking. I'm not sure what he was talking about, but I knew you were embarrassed. I heard you coming again and could already smell the soup. I close my eyes again, I had a plan for you.
"Yuki?"
The voice of an angel.
You came closer and set the soup on my desk. You sat on the edge of my bed and I could feel you leaning over. Squinted just barely, I could see you grow closer. I leaned up suddenly and stole a kiss from you, not able to resist. You gasped.
"Yuki, you're awake!"
I couldn't help but smile a little evilly. As I once had when I said you would look cute in that stupid cultural festival outfit. But, I shook that dark thought from my mind. We were in much the same position, you higher than me, and looking deeply into each other's eyes. I had wanted to kiss you then, so very much. But, I knew that I shouldn't. That didn't matter anymore. Now we were together. I could kiss you any time I wanted, never mind who saw. I leaned forward again and kissed you, this time you fell into me as you had before. I could taste the delicious dinner you had made and just finished eating still fresh on your lips. But, it was nothing compared to the sweet taste of you, Tohru. I brought my hands up and ran them through your amber hair. Its silky smoothness flowing through my fingers like water. You lay your weight on me and rustled your hands in my hair as well. You touch was feather-light, yet still yearning for more. In response to your body's call, I slid my tongue into your mouth calmly. I felt you giggle again. The sound only drove me crazy. I'm not sure what overcame my body just then, but I couldn't control my hands. In my conscience, I hoped you wouldn't reject me, but still my hands moved. Sliding down towards your stomach, they slid up your shirt. What was I doing?! They reached up and hesitantly cupped the round bulges that were your bosom. You gasped in my mouth, but didn't make a move of refusal. Slowly, they kneaded and smoothed your tender breasts and the movements matched that of our lips.
I smiled against you. I'd never been so happy. Then, I turned you over slowly, now I was on top and you lay on the bed. You looked at me in question. I was still kneading your chest, and lay my hot lips on your neck. Suckling here, and there, and making my way down. Unbuttoning your plain cotton shirt, I revealed your innocent bra. It was white and lacy, not in any way seductive. That turned me on. Unlatching the front clasp, I looked to you for permission. You gulped and nodded slightly. I smiled and pulled the bra away.
Tohru's POV
As you removed my bra, I didn't know what to think. I was afraid you would be disappointed. But by the light in your eyes, I could tell you weren't. You brought your head down and I could feel your hot lips on so tender a spot. Sucking and sliding your tongue, you made small circles across my chest with your mouth. I smiled as I felt the joy of your gentle love all over me, your hands now clasped in mine. I heard a sound outside the door, but you didn't seem to notice. The door was open!!! I opened my eyes to see what it was, and saw a shadowed figure in the doorway. It was easy to tell who it was, by the outline of his fiery red hair. I hummed and pushed up on you a little. You looked into my eyes and saw my worried look. Following my gaze, you too looked to the doorway.
"You bastard! What are you doing to Tohru?!" Kyo shouted in anger as he saw my bra strewn on the floor. "I'll make you pay you damned rat!" Kyo prepared to punch Yuki and I jumped up, putting my hands forward. "Kyo! No! It's not Yuki's fault." Kyo froze and shone bright red. I followed his embarrassed stare and saw that my shirt was still open, Yuki's kiss marks still visible. I quickly pulled it together and started to button it. Looking up, Kyo had turned away and was heading out. He stopped at the entrance, "So you let him do that to you?" I gulped at his disappointed manner. "Yes." I said quietly. He jumped at my words, and turned back to me. Putting his hands on my shoulders he leaned down and lay a gentle kiss on my lips. He turned away again and left, leaving us both to wonder. I reached my hand out to him, and felt a strong hand on my shoulder from behind. Yuki smiled at me and shook his head. The look in his violet eyes told me to stay. Yuki was right, Kyo needed time alone.
Author's Notes: So, so? How was that chapter? Too mushy maybe? Well, I wish something like this would happen. In the Next chapter, we'll find out how Kyo took the news. ^_^ Sayonara! See ya soon!
