Okay, this is going to be one of the shortest chapters ever! Don't worry, there will be plenty of chapters I'll write! Heck, I skipped my homework just to write this (and something else). Oh, just for fun, for the next couple of chapters, I'll be writing them and updating really quickly. Then, you'll have to wait a week or something before I update more. Haha! Okay, enjoy! Please, no flames either!
Note: I do not own Fruits Basket.
Chapter Three
Tohru laid in bed that night, didn't know what to do. Both the boys she loved and cared for… said those words. I love you. Those words can bring either happiness or sadness… and yet, Tohru wanted to be loved by one of them. She wanted to be loved. She couldn't admit it to herself though. She really didn't know what was going on. She flipped over to her side, clutching her pillow softly, staring at the ceiling. She really didn't know what to think. She replayed the moment in her head.
"I love you!" Yuki and Kyo both exclaimed, as the leaves swooped down besides them. There was an awkward silence between Tohru and the two boys.
Suddenly, Kyo blushed and stared at the ground. He blushed and backed away, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." He covered his face with his bracelet hand. He ran off… back in the direction of the Sohma's house.
"Kyo!" Tohru wanted to shout. "Kyo!" Instead, she just mumbled his name as she watch him run off. She was heartbroken to see her 'friend' this way.
"Miss Honda," Yuki sighed softly behind her. Tohru completely forgot he was around. She twirled her head back, almost bumping into Yuki, but was careful not to hug him.
"Please choose," Yuki murmured. "For I…, I'm always going to be here for you, Miss Honda." Tohru nodded slowly, she didn't know what to do. With that, Yuki grabbed the basket full of fruits and vegetables and began to signal Tohru to follow.
She stood up carelessly, and kept silence the whole way. She herself, the ever optimist, was acting quiet… like how Kisa used to act.
As she prepared dinner… she felt like she wasn't being herself. She couldn't stay like this forever, until…
During dinner, the table was missing a person. Kyo. He was sulking on the roof… and Tohru didn't have the courage to go up there tonight. She sighed and smiled. 'Have to act like myself!' Tohru nodded in agreement to the statement she thought.
She wanted however, to see how Kyo was doing. She haven't seen him since… afternoon. She sighed and kept a smile on. 'Kyo must be hungry by now! I'll go bring him some dinner!' she thought.
She made riceballs quickly, avoiding not to stick leeks into them. She hurried to the ladder that lead to the roof and slowly climbed up the steps. 'Kyo must be starving!' She tried to avoid the thought of what he said that afternoon.
As she reached the top, she slowly and quietly place herself up onto the roof. Kyo, who was looking in a different direction, was startled by the noise and turned to face Tohru. He blushed and turned away.
"What… what do you want?" Kyo spatted out the words silently.
"Oh… it's just that Kyo… you haven't eaten dinner, so I thought I should fix you up some dinner, you know? Here!" Tohru bowed her head down, placing her hands forward, hoping Kyo would accept the riceballs.
He stood up and smiled a weak smile at her. "Thanks. I guess." He slowly reached out for a riceball and placed it in his mouth. It was delicious.
"Hey," Kyo looked up to the stars.
"What is it, Kyo?" Tohru questioned as she sat down next to Kyo.
"I'll win you over from that damn rat," he said coolly, still staring at the stars. Tohru couldn't say anything. She just wanted to enjoy the moment that Kyo and Tohru shared together, under the night filled with stars. The last night Kyo considered them both to be just 'friends'. For he wanted more than that.
