Hello, I'm back. I have some special things in store for Tohru in this chapter. Anyway, enough suspense, lets get back to the fic.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. (Though I wish I did, but hats off to Takaya. You're awesome!)

Chapter 2

Her first kiss

Just then an orange haired boy looked up and saw her.

"Hold on, I'll be right there." He sat up and walked over to Tohru. Holding out his hand, she took it and he lifted her up.

"Thank you, Kyo." Tohru smiled her shining smile at him.

"What is it with you and coming up here to get me?" Kyo asked annoyed.

"I don't know. I just like it up here. It's nice. Oh, I cooked you your favorite so you wouldn't have to eat the miso soup and octopus if you don't like it." Tohru said fiddling with her fingers.

"Thanks." Kyo lay back down on the roof and stared up at the millions of shining bright stars.

Tohru sat next to him, and she lay back too.

"Kyo, I was just wondering…why do you always come up here?"

"Because…up here, my problems seem so much smaller." Kyo said softly. It surprised Tohru a bit but she smiled and giggled a little.

"What are you laughing at?!" Kyo shouted.

"Nothing, I was just remembering something my mom used to tell me…If you feel like there is no problem bigger than yours that you can't figure out, then look to the stars. They will make all your problems go away and make the solution clear." Kyo looked over at her amazed.

"Your mom said that?" He asked disbelievingly.

Tohru nodded. "Uh huh." Tohru's eyes were glazed over and the stars sparkled in her beautiful brown orbs. Kyo was entranced in them. His eyes traced her face and landed on her lips.

Tohru looked over at him and smiled lovingly at him.

He sat up on his elbows and saw her blushing with his cat-like eyes.

"Tohru I…" Kyo tried to say something but couldn't find the right words to say. He was inching closer to her, their faces just mere inches apart.

"Kyo, what are you…?" He slowly closed the gap between them and captured her rosy lips in a short but loving kiss.

"Kyo?" Tohru said breathlessly.

He blushed and rolled back over.

"Sorry."

"I'm not mad Kyo. You don't have to apologize." Tohru said happily. Kyo couldn't help but smile but he was blushing ten shades of red. All the while being watched by a perverted dog, who, by the way, was dancing on the spot. Their curse might be lifted after all.

Later after dinner Momiji went upstairs to bed early because he really wanted to hear Tohru's song.

He swiftly tucked himself into bed. Kyo was in the bed next to the corner.

"What are you so excited about?" Kyo asked in his usual tone. He was thinking about Tohru and their kiss on the roof.

"Tohru said she was going to sing to me." Momiji said excitedly.

Kyo looked at him in surprise. Just then Tohru came into their room, smiled at Kyo, walked over to Momiji's bed and sat down.

"Alright, what would you like me to sing?" Tohru asked kindly.

"I want you to pick."

"Hm…Oh, I know one. But I just might want to dance. Wanna dance with me?" Momiji jumped in bed with excitement, He got up and stood next to Tohru. Kyo rolled his eyes and rolled over.

(A/N I do not own this song. I did shorten it a little, though)

"When I think, of what I've been through

I can see, that you've always been there for me.

To tell the truth, don't know what I'd do,

Without you, half of my dreams would not come true…"

Tohru started moving as soon as she got the beat to the song down, and Momiji started to follow. Kyo sat in his bed with his eyes closed listening to Tohru's beautiful angel-like voice. He opened his eyes and looked out of the corner of his eye to see Tohru dancing with Momiji.

"You are the one, that I have hoped for

Know my life, means so much more

Now we can be, together forever

Just you and me

Me here for you, You here for me

It was you who showed me I got a friend in you

I always knew that you'd be right here for me

And it was you, who stuck with me when my skies were blue

And it was you who stayed by my side, it was you

Since the day, you came into my life

I knew then, that you'd be someone right by my side.

Then you proved, you're a friend to me

In my heart, forever you will always be

You are the one that I have hoped for

Know my life, means so much more

Now we can be, together forever

Just you and me, there for each other

It was you who showed me I got a friend in you

I always knew, that you'd be right there for me

And it was you, who stuck with me when my skies were blue

And it was you who, stayed by my side it was you

It was you, who is always right by my side

And I just can't do it you helped me through it

Were friends forever, like best friends should be

You'll always be, a special part of me

It was you, who showed me I got a friend in you

I always knew that you'd be right there for me

And it was you, who stuck with me when skies were blue

And it was you, who stayed by my side it was you

It was you, who showed me how it should be

I always knew, that you'd be right there

And it was you, was you, who stuck with me when skies were blue

And it was you, I knew that I could count on you

It was you that showed me, I got a friend in you

I always knew that you'd be right here for me

And it was you that stuck with me when skies were blue

And it was you who stayed by my side, it was you.

You are a friend to me

It was you…"

Tohru's song ended and Momiji jumped in the air. They had danced and twirled around the room, all the time, oblivious to Kyo, who was watching them. Kyo had never heard Tohru sing before, but he loved the sound of her voice. Not only was she beautiful, but she had the voice of angels.

Tohru was breathing heavily.

"Thank you Momiji. I haven't sung like that in a long time. Now go to bed." Tohru said tucking him in.

"Good night Kyo" Tohru said sweetly and smiled warmly at him.

" Tohru?" Momiji suddenly asked.

"Do you think you could sing to me some other time?"

"Of course." Tohru smiled lovingly at him and walked out of the room to hers.

"Kyo?" Momiji asked again. Kyo grunted and turned over.

"What?" He asked aggravated.

"Do you love Tohru?" He asked innocently.

Kyo growled warning him to shut up or he'll get hurt.

Momiji rolled over and went to sleep almost automatically.

'Do I? I kissed her didn't I? Is that what I call this feeling? Love?' Kyo kept asking these questions in his head as he kept staring at the ceiling.

Morning soon came and Kyo had not gotten any sleep. He heard soft footsteps go towards the bathroom, which he figure was Tohru going to take her shower for the day. He decided to get up and wait till she was out of the shower to take his. (Dah!)

Tohru got dressed in her school uniform and went downstairs to start breakfast. She put on her little apron and got straight to work on making eggs and bacon. Yuki came down into the kitchen and placed a small kiss on her cheek. Tohru almost dropped the pan in her hand in surprise.

"What was that for?" She asked confused.

"Ah, our little flower up making us breakfast as usual I see." Shigure entered the kitchen just in time. Shigure flashed a smile to Tohru and sat down in his usual chair.

"Good morning Shigure. Do you want some tea?" Tohru asked.

"Please and thank you." He said happily.

"Here you are. Be careful, it's hot." Tohru said in a sing song voice.

"What are you so happy about this morning?" Kyo asked walking into the kitchen.

Tohru smiled and shook her head.

"Nothing." She said happily.

Kyo rolled his eyes and sat down in the seat next to Tohru's usual seat.

She scraped food onto each of their plates and sat it down in front of them.

"Here you go, I hope you like it." Momiji came down and sat in his chair. He looked around the table at everyone's plate and noticed that there were only four plates, including his.

"Tohru, aren't you going to eat?"

" No, I'm not hungry. Go ahead." She waved. Momiji shrugged and dug into his food. Soon they were off for school. Momiji skipped ahead of them like always.

"Tohru!" Came a rough, female voice from behind them. They turned around to see a tall blonde haired girl and a smiling black haired girl walking towards them.

"Uo, Hana!" Tohru called happily waving to them.

"Hey kiddo, what's up." Uo asked happily.

"Nothing. Wanna walk to school with us?" Tohru asked kindly to her life-long friends.

"Sure." Uo said and patted Kyo on the back.

"Hey Orangey." Uo teased.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" He yelled.

"Tohru, how is your life at the Sohma's?" Hana asked.

"Its great. I sang to Momiji last night. And it felt great!" Tohru said excitedly. Hana smiled warmly at her excited friend.

'She hasn't sung in a really long time. I guess they are helping her recover from her loss.'

Tohru was smiling all the way to school. She walked Momiji to his class and said hi to Haru.

"S'up." Haru said.

"Nothing really. Are you coming for dinner tonight Haru?" Tohru asked kindly.

"Maybe, depends on how I feel."

"Oh, okay. Well I'll make a plate for you, just in case." She smiled and waved good-bye to him and Momiji. Haru couldn't help but smile. He liked Tohru, more than he wanted to admit.

Ding Ding Ding

Tohru rushed into class and sat down in her seat in front of Yuki, next To Kyo and Hana. Uo was in front of her.

"Okay class, today…"

The day went by fast. When the final bell rang, Haru and Momiji caught up with Tohru, Kyo and Yuki, and they all walked home together. Tohru said b to Hana, and Uo as they passed their houses.

"So, what's for dinner?" Momiji asked.

"I think we'll have dumplings, what do you think?" Tohru asked.

"Yummy. That sounds great Tohru! Can I help when we get home?" Momiji asked excitedly.

"Actually I have to work today, so I will be leaving the house as soon as we get home, but when I get back you can." Tohru said.

"Okay!" Momiji said excitedly and started to skip home.

Kyo was walking next to her as usual when something came into his head.

"Hey, when do you get off?" He asked in his usual tone.

"Sometime around 5." Tohru answered with her usual smile.

Kyo nodded. When they got home Tohru set her stuff down in her room, and put on a different dress. It was a soft pink, long sleeved, button up dress, and she ran out the door.

5 rolled around quickly. Tohru went around back and took out her last trash bag. When she when she went inside there stood Kyo.

"Kyo? Did you come to walk me home too?" She asked confused but happily.

"Yeah, so?" He asked defensively.

"I'm so glad!" Kyo blushed and Yuki came in through the door.

"Tohru I'm sorry I'm la…" Yuki spotted Kyo and glared at him.

"What are you doing here?!" Yuki asked roughly.

"I wanted to walk Tohru home if that's alright!" Kyo yelled back.

"Why the sudden interest in her safety?" Yuki questioned.

"Look you stupid rat, I just thought I'd walk with Tohru back home, if you can't handle that then go home now!" Kyo yelled.

"I always walk Ms. Honda home. I'm not leaving without her, stupid cat." Yuki said calmly.

"Don't call me stupid ya damn rat!" Kyo yelled furiously.

"Um, uh…guys, please stop fighting. I would be happy if you both walked me home. I like spending time with both of you." Tohru said softly blushing. They both looked at her in amazement.

"Yeah, whatever."

"Alright Ms. Honda." Tohru hung up her uniform for work and walked out with both of them.

"Ah, you all are home. We have a visitor." Shigure said happily when they got home. As they walked in the door, to their surprise, it was Hatori.

"Hatori-san! It's great to see you again." Tohru said excitedly.

" You, too Tohru. But I'm afraid that my visit isn't filled with good news. (sigh) Akito wants to talk to you again. He wants to come here and stay the night." Suddenly Shigure looked serious and everyone in the room was tense. Yuki had a look of horror on his face and Kyo was glaring at Hatori.

"Really?" Tohru asked innocently.

"Yes. He wants to…see how well you can keep our secret." Hatori said gloomily.

"He…wants to come here? When?" Yuki asked seriously.

"Well, tomorrow. He wants all of you to stay home tomorrow and stay with him."

Yuki looked horrified. He was sweating from head to toe. He looked down at Tohru nervously.

"If he harms just one…"

"That's enough Yuki. She will be fine."

"I don't trust him." Kyo said angrily.

Tohru looked confusedly at him and Yuki.

'Are they worried about me? I know that I didn't like the look in his eyes when he was talking to me the first time. But he never really tried to hurt me. I hope he doesn't hate me! That would be awful! What if he tries to hurt Yuki, or Kyo, or even Shigure! What if he tries to hurt Hatori again?!' Tohru thought.

"Don't worry, he just wants to visit with you. I don't think he is mad or anything." Hatori said.

"That would be a first." Yuki said bitterly.

"Now Yuki, is that anyway to talk about me?" Came a gentle voice from behind him

They turned around to see Akito standing right behind them.

"Hello again Tohru Honda. Kyo, I haven't seen you in such a long time." Akito said kindly.

He walked up to them followed by Haru.

"Oh hello again Akito-san." Tohru said curtsying. Kyo just glared at him.

Akito smiled at her, but his eyes kept their never ending, hateful look.

He walked up to Yuki and grinned.

"Hello Yuki. I am really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. I think I will stay in your room tomorrow night.

Yuki had that same look in his eyes as he did the first time Tohru saw Akito talk to Yuki.

There was nothing she could do this time. If she pushed him he surely would hate her, and she had no excuse this time either.

'What am I going to do?!' Tohru thought desperately.

"Um…uh, Akito-san, would you like me to make you some tea?"

"No thank you, maybe tomorrow. We must be leaving now Hatori." Akito said turning and walking back to the car.

Tohru silently sighed in relief and waved good-bye to Hatori and Akito.

Hello. I hope their kiss wasn't too soon. I was kind of placing this sort of after the 5 volume of Fruits Basket. Anyway, Akito is coming to stay for the night at the house? Scaaaaaaary, am I right? I really hope I am getting the character's personalities right. I think I got Tohru down pretty good, and I think I got Yuki down. Calm and happy, until Kyo comes around. I know Kyo is a little out of character but this is supposed to be a romance between Kyo and Tohru. Even Yuki is jealous. I can't wait to start on Chapter 3. But to my unhappiness, I have to wait. My computer is doing the stone-age thing again and it won't work for me. The Internet is being a pain in my ass so I can't exactly upload anything right now. Happy Thanksgiving!

Everyone in the Fruits Basket: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Bye bye
