Crazychickie4life: hey all! sighs only 3 reviews....oh well, I guess that's what I get for my first faruba story....hopefully I'll get more in the future....(sits and waits) hehe. Anyway guys, sorry for the wait, but I warned you. After all, I was on vacation! (bout time too...). For anyone whose wondering, I'm attempting to update my other stories tomorrow or the day after. But don't worry it's coming soon!
P.S. I didn't make this chapter that long, because when I was writing it, I thought 'hey I could add more pages to this!' but I like where I left off. It's very mysterious/kawaii. It ended perfectly and so I had to stop! I promise I'll give you more next chapter, but I just....I liked it! It fit!
Thank you to the three of you that reviewed is sad But thank you!
Chapter 2: Yuki's love, Kyo's warning
"Yuki-kun!" Tohru cried, her hands clasped in front of her as she kneeled before his bed. "Your sick!" she worriedly placed her hand over his forehead and instantly pulled back at the unnaturally warm touch.
Yuki looked at her with half lidded eyes and tried to convince her he was alright, despite the fact that he felt far from alright. He refused to allow her to make such a fuss over him and worry herself sick. But when he tried to talk, nothing came out.
He cleared his throat in attempts to regain control of his seemingly lost vocal cords, and finally he found some of his strength left, but only a tiny morsel.
"Honda-san...." He began, but was cut off by her worried tone.
"No Yuki don't talk! You'll make yourself sicker then you already are!"
But he had to convince her he was alright! He would not allow her to take the blame for his stupidity, even though he knew she was probably berating herself already. Tohru had more than likely already convinced herself that she should have gone to get him earlier and not let him sit outside to catch cold. How did he know this? Because it was Tohru, she always took the blame without reasoning or thought. She was one of a kind, and she was the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful person he had ever met. He highly doubted there was anyone that could outmatch her selflessness.
And because he cared for her so much, because he was utterly and hopelessly in love with her, he did his utmost best in his current situation to make her feel better (despite the fact that none of this was her fault anyway).
Gently taking her arm in his hand, her pale warm skin soft to the touch, he pulled her to him, careful to keep his distance so that he would not transform into his zodiac form. Although, he doubted it would take long before he turned into the rat (A.N, for those of you who read the manga, you would know why it is that that would happen. But for those of you who don't here's a short explanation: If a member of the zodiac gets too sick for their human bodies to handle, then they transform into their animal form to recuperate. Simple as that .)
Yuki smiled upon seeing Tohru's shocked face as she waited to hear his explanation, and he beckoned her closer until her face was inches away from his own.
His eyes lingered to her pink rosy lips, as images of what it would be like to kiss her for hours, popped into his head. But he was snapped out of his thoughts when Tohru whispered his name in confusion in the tiniest of voices.
He wanted so badly to kiss her lips, to touch her, to hold her. But at the moment, it was impossible. Not only was the zodiac curse preventing him from holding her like he desperately wanted to, but she wasn't quite ready for him to tell her that he loved her yet. She was still too naïve to notice the way he looked at her, the way he 'accidentally' bumped into her just so that he could have some contact with her. The way he occasionally held her hand as they walked home from school, how he watched her out of the corner of his eye no matter where they were. The way he blushed when she complimented him, the way he smiled for her. He wanted to float away with her, marry her, have children, and live together in a comfortable home, Yuki would protect her with his life.
But, she didn't react to any of the obvious emotions he openly displayed to her, so he knew that if he were to ask her out, even for a date, she might be too confused and possibly be frightened. She may run away from him, and he didn't think he could handle the rejection from the love of his life. He wanted her to be his, and his only.
And yet again, another obstacle was stuck in his way of true happiness. His ever standing rival...the one and only Kyo Sohma. As much as he tried to hide it, it was all too obvious that Kyo was in love with Tohru. Yuki had watched the way Kyo acted with Tohru, and the from the minute he had first seen them together, he disliked the cat even more. And yet again, Yuki wondered how anyone could not see Tohru, talk to her, and not fall in love with her. But still, all things aside, Kyo was his mortal rival, his enemy, and the love they both had for Tohru could not be shared. Only one person would be with her for the rest of his life, and Yuki was positive he would not allow her to fall into the hands of Kyo.
"Tohru....." He had just said her name. He finally decided enough was enough. The formalities were becoming inappropriate. If he was in love with her, he realized it would be moronic to call her by her last name. Her first name was too pretty to go to waste anyway.
Tohru on the other hand, was even more shocked and confused then before. "Yuki-kun, are you alright!? I should go and get you some medicine!"
But as she made to leave, Yuki pulled her back down possessively, pulling her face closer to his then it had been earlier.
"Tohru, I'm fine. This isn't your fault, it's my own." Yuki attempted to convince her.
"No it's not! It's my fault! I should have gotten you earlier!" Tears began forming in her eyes. Yuki felt the familiar tingling in his nose, a warning that he was about to sneeze. Knowing that he would soon transform from the impact of the sneeze, and the fact that he was feeling worse and worse by the minute, he made a daring move.
"No it's not Tohru" Yuki pulled her towards him in the last few seconds he had left, and hugged her warm body close to him. Instantly he transformed, but he remembered every detail of her warm body against his, missing the heat already. Seconds later, he sneezed.
Tohru stared at him even more confused then before, and blushed a bright crimson. (which satisfied Yuki somewhat).
"Umm....I'm going to get your medicine now!" Tohru jumped up from her position on his bed and hurried out of his room.
Yuki sighed disappointedly. He knew it was a risk he had to take, but he was still saddened non the less. He was now confused of whether or not he should take that as a sign of rejection.
"What
the hell were you thinking you stupid rat?" Kyo appeared in his
bedroom, arms crossed, eyes narrowed in anger.
So obviously,
Kyo had seen the whole thing, and not pleased by it either. Yuki
smiled victoriously.
"Something you wouldn't do baka neko" he replied.
"Don't touch her" Kyo warned.
"Or what?" Yuki fought back
"Or I'll kill you" Kyo stated coldly, for once dead serious (which sent small shivers of worry down Yuki's spine). Why was he acting like this? Since when was he nervous around the cat?
Yuki however, snorted in response. "You've tried that too many times already for me to take it seriously. You can't touch me." Yuki was glad he had his voice back to give the neko a verbal beating.
"We'll see about that princess Yuki." Kyo fully entered Yuki's bedroom, and planted himself down on the floor, a safe distance away from Yuki.
"What are you doing?" Yuki asked annoyed that the neko had the nerve to sit in his room.
"I'm monitoring."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I'm making sure you don't touch Tohru again" Kyo stated simply. But before Yuki could respond, Tohru entered the room carrying a tray with medicine, tea and soup.
A.N. So if you liked it then I expect you to review! hint hint, nudge nudge Remember, in the end this will benefit my sanity!
