Disclaimer: Don't own anything. Thanx to Takaya-san for creating Furuba (the manga)

A/N I'm on a Furuba high right now, so " The Substitute" is on hold until I either get another review or the Muses come and inspire me. This is a Kyuo or a Kyarisa fic. (I made up the terms since this is such an " underground" pairing.) This is based on the manga.

"Beauty?" - oneshot

" Damn! Each time I see all those people flock around Yuki, it makes me sick to the stomach"

Kyo was sitting in the classroom looking at Yuki surrounded by girls and guys (!) fawning over him. Uo was sitting nearby just because there was no one except for Kyo who wasn't listening to Yuki. She had come and sat down next to Kyo with the intention of annoying him, but it seemed to her that no matter what she could throw at him, her annoyment factor would never surpass Yuki's.

" Are you jealous?" she asked with a smirk.

Even though Yuki would always be more of a pain to Kyo, there was no reason for her to not bug him except for Tohru who wasn't here at the moment.

" Why would I be jealous of a pretty boy like him? I don't need a fan club." He spat without looking at her once.

"Then you must fancy him." She normally wouldn't have said something below the belt, but he was blatantly ignoring her.

" That doesn't even deserve an answer. And why are you here anyway, didn't want to join the school's PRINCE?"

" Hah, I don't depend on or suck up to anyone. I do admire him, but that doesn't mean I'm willing to lick his shoes." He glanced at her. Realising she had said too much, she swept her hair in front of her eyes to distract him.

" I thought you only admired Tohru's mom, Kyoko-san."

" I still do, but I realised that I can respect other people too." She said. Then she went quiet and he guessed that she might be thinking about Tohru's mother. He decided to break the silence.

" Why do you admire my idiot cousin anyway?" He ventured, for he couldn't possibly conceive a reason why Uotani of all people would look up to Yuki.

" It's not so much who he is. It's just, I wish I was as beautiful as he is." She said this without showing any emotion whatsoever.

" What?" He spluttered.

" Baka carrot top, do I have to say it again? Yuki is good looking!" She said in annoyance. Somehow he had managed to turn her attempt to drive him up the wall against her.

" Why? Yuki looks, well he's.you're much more beautiful than he is!" Then realising what he just said, he blushed. Uo on the other hand was just staring at him in blank amazement.

" Thanks" she muttered weakly. " That was the first time anyone ever told me that. Why did it have to be you?" she said taking her head into her hands.

" That was the first time I said something like that to a girl, why you?" He said rubbing his temples.

They both looked up at the same time.

" This never happened" she said ". but, I appreciate it, and for what it's worth, you're not as annoying as I always say you are" She said with a grin.

He nodded and they both walked away as the bell rang with a slightly warm feeling, wondering if this was due to the compliments, or the person they had given them to.

The end

I hope you liked it. I'm not planning on continuing this, but if I get enough reviews asking for a sequel I just might oblige. Toodles - Mouton
