Hello again. A quick disclaimer, I don't own Fruits Basket. Also, I haven't recived many reviews so I'm thinking that no one really like my story. It makes me sad, but I guess I just don't have the best writing skills to make a story people will like. But if you disagree with me, let me know. Anyway, here's chapter 3:

Lele ran as fast as she could home. The thunder and lighting had followed behind her as she made hard splashes in the puddles of rain the clouds dropped. Lele finally reached her house. Unbeknownst to her, Kyo just reached the corner of the street near her house and saw her running inside. He didn't know why she ran but thought it was to get out of the rain. He continued down the street and glanced over to the house she entered. "I need to hurry and get home myself," Kyo thought and began trotting down the road in the direction of Hatori's house.

Inside, Lele took off her shoes and ran to the bathroom. No one was home. She took off her soaked clothing and threw them onto the laundry basket. She turned on the shower and stepped into the tub. Lele grabbed her wash cloth, squeezed a small amount of soap into it and began washing herself.

"I scrub as hard as I want but it won't go away. The pain, it hurts..."

She dropped to her knees and began crying, "You betrayed me...why? Did I do something wrong?"

She cupped her face into her hands and sobbed. She tasted soap and tears on her face. Lele turned off the water and dried herself with a nearby towel. She wrapped herself up and walked to her room. As she entered, she remembered all the pictures she had of Zane. She rushed into her room and ripped all the pictures from her walls and mirror. Her towel fell and she stood there, naked and ashamed. Her wet hair felt cold on her back. She threw herself onto her bed and cried again, "I loved you so much...why'd you do this to me?!" She eventually, cried herself to sleep.

The next morning, Lele woke up to her alarm clock and realized what she did the night before. Her hair was still a bit wet. She sat at her vanity and thought to herself, "Look at me. My eyes are all red and puffy." There was an abrupt knock on her door.

A women's voice called, "Lele, u awake? Breakfast is ready."

"Yeah. I'll be there in a second Nuni!" Lele called to the door.

She brushed her long, wavy black hair and dressed herself in her pajamas. She opened the door and walked over to the kitchen. "What happened to you Lele?"

Nuni asked and placed her hand on Lele's forehead. "Are u sick? Your eyes are all red."

"Uh...kind of. I think my allergies are acting up again."

"Well, take some meds and get back to bed, "Nuni said and handed Lele a bowl of Frosted Flakes. Lele tried to eat as much as she could but her stomach felt sick. Kagura and Tohru came to visit her.

"Hi Lele, how are you doing?" Tohru said happily. Lele's face saddened.

"Lele, what's wrong?" Kagura asked and she placed a hand on her friends shoulder.

"I saw Zane with a last night. He was kissing another girl right in front of his house. I as on my way there to drop off some cookies I baked for him!"

Tears fell from Lele's already puffy eyes.

Tohru gasped, "No way. You guys have been together for 2 years." Lele's face fell onto Kagura's shoulder. "Why didn't you call us ?"

"I was too shocked. I didn't tell anyone. I just wanted to be alone."

"Aww...Lele..."Tohru rubbed he friends back.

"Hey, why don't we go out? Get your mind off of things." Kagura cheerfully suggested.

"Let's go to that Karaoke bar downtown. We haven't been there yet!" Tohru smiled.

"I guess so,"Lele said. She got dressed while Kagura called her cousins Yuki and Kyo and asked them to join at Karaoke bar downtown. She told them it was to cheer Lele up. Kyo was all for it and challenged Yuki to a karaoke battle! They met the boys in front of the building. Inside, everyone sighed there names and paid there share of the room.

Once inside the room, Kyo yelled and pointed, "Ready Yuki?! I'm taking you down!!!" Kyo yelled. Yuki took a seat next to Tohru. "Well, I'm first cousins so what your turn!" Kagura said and bumped Kyo. He stumbled a bit and landed in front of Lele, who was sitting down. He lifted his head and looked at Lele eye to eye. Their noses nearly grazed each others. Lele's eyes widened and she blushed. Kyo's expression was the same. He then realized what Kagura did, "Damn you! Watch it next time!!"

"Sorry, your big ego was in the way!!"

"Now, come on guys. No fighting tonight please," Tohru laughed.

Kyo stood up and sat next to Tohru. Kagura grabbed the microphone and began singing "Independent Women!" Everyone clapped for her, well except Kyo. She was rated a 75. "What?! This thing's busted!" Kagura yelled and kicked the machine. "Kagura please!?" Yuki tried to calm her down. Yuki took the mic and began singing "Mizerable" (a Gackt song) . Kyo looked over to Lele. She played with her hair and stared down at the floor.

"Hey, want something to drink?" Lele looked over to him.

She said, "No thank you. I'm okay."

Kyo thought, "Wow, can't believe she's so tore up over that asshole Zane. I'd never do what he did to a girl."

Yuki scored a 90. Tohru clapped and jumped to hug him. He caught her and kissed her on the head. Lele happened to be looking at the time and she felt saddened. Kyo took his turn and sang "Rock your body" (hehe, would that be really funny to see) The others danced along, except Yuki. When it was over, Kyo anxiously waited for his score. When 92 came on the screen he jumped for joy. "Hahahahaha!!! Yes, I beat you!! You may now kiss my ass!!"

"You were right Kagura, something is wrong with the machine," Yuki said smugly.

"You just can't accept the fact that I beat you in something!! We'll see if the things busted! Here Tohru!" Kyo handed Tohru the mic.

"I can't Kyo. I'm getting over a cold."

Kyo growled and then looked over to Lele, "Here, you sing!"

"Kyo no!!" Kagura yelled at him.

Lele stood up, "It's okay. I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll feel a little better after," she took the mic from Kyo's hand. She walked up to the tiny stage and pressed the number of the song she wanted. She chooses "Beautiful". As she sang, the others seemed to be in a trance from her singing. Kyo gazed up at her in amazement, "Wow....she's really good." His heart began to beat faster and he got goose bumps. When it was over, they sat silently. Then the number 100 flashed on the screen. Everyone cheered and applauded. Lele blushed.

"Okay, see the machine isn't busted," Tohru joked.

"You win Kyo," Yuki muffled under his breath. Kyo didn't hear him. He was still amazed by Lele's singing. Lele walked off the small stage but bumped into Kyo, "Darn, I'm so clumsy! I'm sorry," Lele said. Kyo just looked at her.

"Wow Lele, you gave me goose bumps," Kagura said in a laugh.

"Co-Could you sing another song?" Kyo asked her. The others stared at him.

Lele said, "Sorry, I didn't really want to sing. I just didn't want to see you and Yuki fight."

"Oh, um ok," Kyo felt embarrassed.

"Well, I have to go guys. Thanks for trying to cheer me up, especially you, Kyo."

"Yes, we should get going too," Yuki said and stretched. They all walked out.

"Should you really be walking so late at night alone?" Kyo asked.

"I'll be okay, I have pepper spray. I'll see you guys tomorrow at school." She waved back and walked in the direction of her house. Lele walked a few blocks and thought to herself, "Zane use to love my singing. He said I had the voice of an angel. That I could make it as a singer. I still don't understand why he cheated on me."

Suddenly there was a man's voice behind her, "Hey cutie. Wanna hang out?" Lele began to walk faster and reached for the inside of her purse. She held onto the spray incase the man followed her. Lele didn't see a hole in the sidewalk and fell. She watched as the spray slowly fell from her grasp. The stranger ran in front of her and stepped on it. He kicked it aside and lifted Lele by the hair. She screamed in pain.

"Now hush babe. You don't wanna call attention to anyone. I just wanna have some fun with you." He kissed her cheek. Then he wrapped and arm around her arm and covered her mouth with the other hand. Lele kicked and screamed trying to escape.

Seems Lele's got some bad luck with men, maybe someone could change that. LOL, we will see... Please review! Thanks!
