Note: I do not own Fruits Basket.
I've always loved Yuki as a character! But that doesn't mean I don't I love Kyo! I think they would both make great guys for Tohru! Sorry, if you got the wrong idea if it's going to be a KyoxTohru fanfic… for I been talking about Kyo more! No! It could… the keyword… COULD also be a YukixTohru! So it could be between those two choices! Yup! Don't jump into conclusion yet! I'm still deciding which one it should be anyways… .
Chapter 5
That night, Yuki sighed as he climbed into his bed. He left his fingertips touch the area that Kyo punched him in the face. That… that would be the last time he'll punch him. He was sure of it. After all, he knocked him out afterwards!
'That stupid cat just caught me by surprise' Yuki thought. 'Saying Miss Honda's name really surprised me. That's all.' He frowned. He really didn't want the words 'Tohru' leave out of the mouth of Kyo's.
After all, he had the same motivation as him. To continue fighting for Miss Honda.
'I want to protect her,' he rolled to his side on his bed, facing the wall. 'I don't want Miss Honda to get hurt.'
He nodded at the statement he said to himself. "For, if that stupid cat gets her, my life feels so empty."
As if a strike of lightning hit him, he remembered about Akito. He can never go against him… never… after that terrible day… Yuki shuddered as he relived the pain he felt many years ago. 'I can't go against Akito though…' Yuki shuddered of the thought of Akito. He brought so much unhappiness into many people's lives… yet… no one blames him…
Yuki shivered, for he was scared. He was scared of Akito. But… for Tohru Honda… he wanted to be the type of person that would keep a smile on her face. He wanted to be that person.
'For Miss Honda,' Yuki thought carefully. 'I'll go against Akito. I don't care about that incident any longer. If it's for Miss Honda.'
He closed his eyes and fell to sleep.
(Next Morning)
"Aw, the break is over!" Kyo muttered as he was walking towards his high school. Tohru and Yuki followed behind as well.
"Miss Honda, you'll be able to see your friends again," Yuki slowly nodded. "It was spring break after all. I heard that Miss Uotani and Miss Hanajima went somewhere…"
"Uh-huh!" Tohru smiled. "Uo went to see her aunt in miles away from this town and Hana… she had a family trip to a funeral…"
"Well, since the Yankee is back, I'm going to kick her ass!" Kyo shouted with glee as he strolled forward. "I'll beat her at Rich Man, Poor Man! I'll go make her dye her head green!" Kyo smirked as he walked on ahead.
"Kyo… really does want to beat her…" Tohru stared opened-eyed at Kyo from behind.
"That stupid cat. He has too many rocks in his head…" Yuki shook his head. Within seconds, he was not visible anymore from the place they were.
"Miss Honda," Yuki slowly turned his attention back to Tohru.
"Mm. What is it?" Tohru stared at her feet as she walked. She smiled.
"Don't forget, I'm always here for you," Yuki slowly looked up to the sky. "I don't ever want you to stop smiling."
"Yuki…" Tohru replied. "There's so many traits I love about you. You're always so generous and thoughtful and helpful… I really do like you a lot!" She nodded quickly and smiled.
"Miss Honda…" Yuki stammered, surprised of the statement she said. 'Looking at her, she meant it from her heart…' he thought. He whispered quietly to himself, making sure that Tohru didn't hear anything, "I've always loved you. I didn't see it back than, but my thin line of love was always there."
Yuki snapped back after Tohru called his name. "C'mon Yuki! We're going to be late to class if we don't get moving!" Tohru rushed her voice and grabbed his hand, motioning him to go forward. He blushed as she grabbed his hand. 'If this were to last longer' he thought. 'Surely, you made me forget about Akito.'
(Back to Kyo)
Kyo made it to school before Tohru and Yuki. He smiled as he sat in his seat. Now… my schedule to go talked to Tohru… "Oh shoot!" Kyo suddenly felt shocked. "I left Tohru alone with that damn rat! Damn! Who knows what the hell he did?" He banged himself hard onto his desk.
Uo was behind Kyo's desk and blinked. "I see orange-top is still an idiot," Uo sighed behind his back. "A stupid idiot."
End of chapter 5! Yes, this is a short chapter, for I want it to be a short chapter! Yep! Whenever I'm listening to music, I want to write short! Haha! Well, I hope you like this chapter! It was talking a little bit more about Yuki and his feelings toward Tohru! See you on the next chapter!
