Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket...yet

I'm so glad you guys liked the first chapter!

Reicheru: In chapter...93 or 94 Kyou had a dream...this story is sort of based on the things that happened in that dream and discussions that I've had about it with other Furuba fans.

leiko hikaru: Aw...you're making me blush...and you're also making my ego swell...lol.

Aiko: Thank you! Kyou is just my favorite character and with all the stuff happening to him in the manga right now...I just got inspired.

Joflower: Yes cliffhangers are the best way to get people to come back. I get the newer chapters online, reading translations while looking at raw scans.

Thanks to everyone and here is the next chapter!

The Truth Comes Out

"Kyou-kun...?" We had been sitting there for a few minutes. I needed to tell her, but how was I going to start?

"Tohru...what are your plans for after high school?"

"Um, well...I'm not sure. Right now I just want to graduate and make mom happy." I flinched at the mention of her mother, but it was getting the ball rolling.

"You have a lot of different options. I...I wish I had options." She leaned towards me and started rambling.

"You have so many options, Kyou-kun! You can teach martial arts or can go to college and become whatever..." I cut her off.

"No! I can't do any of that Tohru. I'm...I'm being locked up after high school." She cocked her head to the side.

"Locked up?" I looked away from her and directed my attention to the sky.

"It's the fate of the cat, and the only thing I can do to stop it is beating that dumb rat." She leaned over me and I saw the tears forming in her eyes. Soon, she would have no need to cry for me.

"Does Sohma-kun know? Maybe he will let you win to..." I shot up and almost knocked heads with her. We were so close that I could feel her warm breath, it calmed me a little.

"No! I don't want a victory that way. It would be pointless. Besides, it's better this way..." I turned away from her again. I hope that I'll be able to do this.

"Kyou-kun, it's best if you're out here. No one should be locked up! It isn't fair Kyou-kun."

"Tohru, I'm dangerous. I shouldn't be around people." Especially you. I turned towards her again and the tears that were forming earlier were now falling from her eyes.

"You're not dangerous Kyou-kun. Who is saying these things?"

"I am Tohru. I did something...something bad. I...I never told anyone. I...I..." She started shaking her head.

"No, Kyou-kun! It couldn't be all that bad, you're not a bad person. Part of not being able to see your uemboshi, is the ability to only see rice. You can't see the good in you Kyou-kun, and that, makes the bad stuff look even worse. But I really don't think..." Tohru was being her usual self. Going on about the good things in other people, but all the good things she said about me just made me hate myself more. My anger was rising, something I knew she was used to, but I always felt bad doing it.

"Tohru, stop! You don't know what you're talking about!" She leaned back a little, I think I surprised her.

"Kyou-kun, I know you and..." Before she could say anything else...I did it.

"It's my fault Tohru. I'm the reason you're here." She blushed madly, I don't know what she thought I meant.

"Kyou-kun, if you don't want me around I could..." I slammed my fist down on the roof, she jumped a little.

"That's not what I meant! Tohru it's my fault! I...I'm the reason your mother isn't with you! I'm the reason she's dead!"

Wow, it took me forever to get out such a short chapter. Sorry about that, the holiday (4th of July) came up faster than I expected, and then things with work and some personal things attacked me one after another. But here it is. I was going to put Tohru's reaction in this chapter, but I want her reaction and then Kyou's reaction to that, and so on. I thought that this was a logical break in the story. Anyway, probably not a strong as the first chapter, but I'm kind of happy with it. So review, love it or hate it, I'd like to hear from you. Thanks!
