Hi everyone! Sorry this took so long! You can hit me if ya want. I'd prefer you didn't though, as it's kinda painful. Thank you to my faithful reviewers, who say nice things even when the story sucks. I must say, Fruits Basket reviewers are sooo nice! Anyway, I hope you like the next chappie!

CHAPTER THREE: DOING THE TIME

Yuki didn't like being suspended. But, it at least gave him a half of a day of free time. Maybe this will do me dome good. Maybe the Fan Club girls will stop liking me. Maybe they'll stop stalking me! Maybe they'll forget that the Prince Yuki Fan Club ever existed. Maybe they'll forget I exist! I'm getting my hopes too high again. I've got to stop that. I wonder what will happen if I ask Tohru out. Why am I thinking about girls all of a sudden? Oh no! I'm turning into some freaky girl-chasing pervert like Shigure! What'll I do? What'll I do? I know! I'll go to my secret base. I'm so creative! Go Yuki, go Yuki! Besides, Tohru said she needed leeks for dinner tonight. Maybe the strawberries are ready! Ugh. Once again, getting my hopes up. Yuki stopped thinking, and went outsides! Yes! The leeks are ready! Tohru will be so happy! Yes, Tohru…Yuki looked up at the sky and started to get all dreamy-eyed. He sat down under a tree, munching on a leek, and thinking of his dear sweet Tohru.

Hana was sitting across the table from Uo, concentrating on her poker hand. If only I get the card I need! Then, for the second time, I'll have a royal straight flush! She drew a card. Yes! The jack of diamond! I have made history. "Okay, you first."

            "Uh, four of a kind," Uo said, revealing four nines with a smirk.

            "Wow, you're good. Here I go!" Hana placed her winning hand on the table, and smirked back at Uo.

"Here Tohru. Drink this. And put this on your eye." Kyou sat on the end of Tohru's bed, placing a cup of tea next to her, and pressing a fresh ice pack to her eye.

            "Thank-you Kyou-kun! You're so kind to me…." Tohru hadn't finished her sentence when she started to nod off. Kyou stared at her for a long moment, and again wondered what it would be like to hold her. This is so unfair. I ask her out, and then she gets hurt because of Yuki. I should give him a piece of my mind! But that would be letting them win. No. I need to keep my cool. If not for myself, then for her. Who knows? Maybe this will turn out for the best. Maybe the Fan Club girls will stop liking Yuki. No that's bad. It would make that damn rat happy, something I certainly do not want to do. Or maybe going out with her will make them lay off. I love her so mush! I know that she says she loves me, but does she really mean it? She's always so sincere, but then, you never see her hurting anyone, do you? Shit, this has me all sentimental. Stupid girls.

Instant Message to VicePrez333:

Yukifangirl: I can't believe that bitch Tohru Honda, Maiya!

VicePrez333: I know Ayaki! How dare she slap you? And now you're the one who's suspended! I don't even think she's with Yuki. I heard Electric Wave Girl and the Yankee thug with the pole talking about her, and how cute it would be if she was with Anger Management.

Yukifangirl: Really? She's going for Kyou too? She's a player and a bitch!

VicePrez333: And to think that she LIVES with the Prince!

Yukifangirl: Ya, I know! I bet she sleeps with Yuki one night, and then Kyou the next!

VicePrez333: Sorry Yaki, but I've gotta go. See ya in a couple of days!

"Kyou, wake up!" Tohru poked his ribs, and he jumped.

            "Wha? Tohru, why are you here? You don't belong in a club!"

            Tohru giggled as Kyou slowly began to realize, that unfortunately he was in his room, not in a club with his girlfriend. "Have and interesting dreams Kyou-kun?" Tohru grinned, and Kyou scowled at her, only to grab his hand and squeeze it.

            "Ha! Not that I'd tell you about!"

            "Kyou-kun, will you help me make breakfast?"

            "I don't wanna!"

            "You sound like Momiji, and if you do, I'll give you something milk-flavored. Not leeks."

            Kyou wrinkled his nose. "Ew. Milk-flavored leeks. But it's a deal." He squeezed Tohru's hand, and they walked downstairs.

"Have a good day at school, Yuki-kun!"

            "Thank you Tohru. I will."

            "Yeah, but what's poor, pretty Yuki gonna do without Tohru to protect him from the Prince Yuki Fan Club?" Kyou smirked, and then turned to Tohru. "While we're at home, why don't we go tell Ayaki off?"

            "Oh Kyou! I could never do that! I'm sure that Ayaki is a sweet person! She was just…" Tohru paused, searching for the right word.

            Kyou took advantage of her silence, and started yelling. "JUST WHAT? JUST FEELING A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER? SO UNDER THE WEATHER THAT SHE HAD TO PICK A FIGHT WITH YOU? TOHRU, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE SAYING THIS, BUT AYAKI HATES YOU! SHE WILL AS LONG AS YOU LIVE UNDER THIS ROOF. AND YUKI, SHIGURE, AND I HAVE NO INTENTION OF YOU LEAVING!"

            "Well, I never thought I'd be saying this, but Kyou's right. Well, I'm off!"

            "Good-bye Yuki-kun!"

            "I have to go too! I'm meeting my editor for breakfast. Have fun you two!"

            "YOU'RE SO PERVERTED, YOU DAMN DOG!"

            "Good-bye! Have fun although, I'm sure you will!" With that, Shigure hopped up, and strolled out the door.

            "Kyou-kun, its okay! He was just teasing! Now what shall we do?" Tohru grabbed Kyou's arm and smiled.

            "I don't know.'

            "Why don't we walk downtown? We can hang out, and then we can eat lunch."

            "But the food will be bad."

            "You can't have good food all of the time."

            "I've gotta change!" Kyou grinned and jumped up.

            "Be ready in fifteen minutes!"

            "Yeah yeah, whatever." Kyou flew up the stairs, but as he was leaving, he thought he heard Tohru say, "Didn't Shigure already eat breakfast?"

"Ayaki! Where the hell are you going? You're suspended!"

            "I'm going downtown mom. I've got to get some new clothes."

            "I just got you some new clothes! Why the hell do you need more?"

            "Remember that guy I told you about, Yuki Sohma?"

            "The guy that looks like a girl, who got you suspended??"

"Yeah, well now he hates me, because I punched the girl I think he likes."

"So what does this have to do with new clothes? Look Ayaki, I cannot afford to keep buying you new clothes! We're never gonna get a new apartment this way! This will be the last time for a while, okay?"

"Thanks mom. I really, really, like Yuki! And  Tohru Honda always seems to get in the way. She lives with him! Him and Kyou, the other popular guy. She's always hanging around them. It's so annoying!"

"Wait a minute, she live with them? That's not right!"

"Yes! She acts so chummy with them!"

"Well you go get yourself some clothes. Maybe it'll get you a man."

"You're the greatest mom!"

"Arisa Uotani, get back here! You're suspended!"

            "Awww mom, come on! I've been suspended before!"

            "Just where were you going?"

            "Ah, downtown. Looking for a new welding torch."

            "Well, okay, just stay out of trouble!"

            "Okay mom, whatever you say!"
