Today's song is Hoobastank with "Crawling in the Dark." Needless to say, my computer is having a spell check heart attack at seeing the word Hoobastank. The closest thing it can come up with is "Hoopeston," and I have no idea what that means.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hoobastank or any related material, Fruits Basket, or the Rabid Lawyers that pop up every once in awhile when I don't disclaim. They're the full property of JewelValentine, who enjoys torturing Yu-Gi-Oh characters to the point of insanity. It's really quite amusing.

START CHAPTER

Tohru Honda, a brunette orphan who never worries about herself before others. The only girl to ever change both Yuki and Kyo. To some, the luckiest girl in the world.

Tohru Honda, caught in the middle of an age-old battle for superiority.

I will dedicate

And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth

Of how my story's ending

Kyo's red-orange eyes flickered open the next morning, his furies of the previous days still fresh in his mind. That damn Yuki was already up, based on the conversation he could hear snippets of. Suck up Yuki, always trying to get on Tohru's good side.

And I wish I could know if the directions that I take

And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing

Show me what it's for

Yuki always gets every damn thing he wants. He doesn't deserve Tohru, Kyo thought, pounding his fist against his pillow. He already has everything I've ever dreamed of. Why does he think he needs anything else?

Make me understand it

I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Is there something more than what I've been handed?

Damn that Kyo, Yuki thought angrily. He has more than he'll ever understand. He has the ability to walk away from this family right now, something I've always wanted. Why does he have to flaunt it by running away only to come right back?

I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Help me carry on

Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes

Shigure, looking preoccupied, strolled into the dining room. He was humming pleasantly to himself. With a broad smile, he sat down at the breakfast table. "Could you pass the Sakkira? I mean...orange juice?"

Tohru's lips curved into a knowing smile. "Who's Sakkira?"

To navigate the darkness

Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?

Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

Kyo stomped into the dining room, and Shigure used it as a distraction to escape, muttering something to himself, his cheeks pink.

Damn that Yuki, Kyo thought again. He's picked the seat next to Tohru already. God damn him. He's such a prissy boy, always trying to get on Tohru's good side. I wish she knew him like I do.

Damn rat.

Show me what it's for

Make me understand it

I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

"Look who decided to show up for breakfast," Yuki said coldly. I guess shutting off his alarm clock wasn't helpful, Yuki mused bitterly. He's still managed to drag himself out of bed in time to eat.

Damn cat.

Tohru smiled. "Oh! Good morning, Kyo!"

Is there something more than what I've been handed?

I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

So when and how will I know?

"Yeah, whatever," the cat muttered. He sat heavily in a chair, and picked up his chopsticks. After a silence, he spat, "Leeks for breakfast? I hate leeks!"

"I'm sorry! I'll make you something else if you want it!" Tohru offered bashfully.

How much further do I have to go?

How much longer until I finally know?

Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me

Waving away Tohru's remark, Yuki's eyes shifted to Kyo. "Eat them and shut up, you spoiled cat," Yuki replied, sipping a glass of juice. "Or just go hungry. Either way, I don't really care."

"Shut up, you sissy rat boy!" snapped Kyo immediately, his reaction to nearly everything that Yuki said. He stood up, clenching his hands into fists. "I'm gonna mop the floor with your pretty-boy face, you damn rat!"

In front of me

Show me what it's for

Make me understand it

"Please, don't fight!" Tohru, forgetting not for the first time the Sohma family curse, lunged towards Yuki, who was closer. With a puff of smoke, he transformed into a small white rat.

I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answers

Is there something more than what I've been handed?

I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer...

Yuki sighed. Why is it always me she transforms?

END CHAPTER

Dang, I love songfics!

Haru: They make her cry.

Shush now. I'll get the next chapter up...eventually.
