I don't own Fruits Basket!
Anyway, I drew pics of Lele, Nuni, and Zane. If you wanna see them Email me!
A voice called to Lele in her sleep. It was a familiar voice. Lele opened her eyes slowly. She looked to her right and saw Tohru holding her hand. Next to Tohru was Kagura.
Kagura was petting Lele's hair and said, "Hey... how ya doing?"
"Where am I?"
"You're in the den of my house. Don't you remember?" Kagura asked.
"Kyo opened the door for you. But as soon as he saw you, you were falling face first into the house. Luckily, he caught you. He carried you in here and put you on the couch," Tohru explained, "Kagura called Yuki and I and we came right over when we heard."
Lele looked around and saw Yuki and Kyo standing in the door frame.
"Kyo..." Lele whispered. Kyo gasped a bit. He walked over to Lele.
"Kyo, thank you again."
"What happened to you?" he asked. Lele struggled to sit up.
She played with the ends of her shirt, "I'm...I'm all wet."
Kyo shouted angrily, "I asked you what happened, tell me!"
Kagura downward punched him on his head, "STOP YELLING YOU JERK!!!"
Tears slowly fell from Lele's eyes and she said, "Zane..."
"Him again, ugh! Lele, what did he do?" Kagura asked. "I went over to make him cookies like I promised. But then he left the house and went inside a car...." Her cries became louder, "He was having sex in a car with that girl from the other day!!" The others mouths dropped and their eyes widened. "He said..." she imitated Zane's voice," 'I just can't wait for you anymore. I'm a growing boy and I need it. So, since you wouldn't put out, I went elsewhere. But Lele it doesn't mean I don't love you.' I'm such a loser!! I can't even satisfy my own boyfriend!!!" She cried loudly.
Tohru grabbed some tissue wiped Lele's tears, "No. Don't blame yourself Lele."
"Yeah, he's the idiot who can't respect you!!" Kagura said. Kyo stood there with his head down. His fists were clenched and shaking. His orange hair covered his narrow eyes.
"I think we should all teach him a lesson," Yuki suggested.
"Yeah! A Soma family beat down!!" Kagura said happily.
"I probably made things worst. I slapped him..."
"Good for you Lele!" Tohru cheered. Lele sniffled.
Lele suddenly felt hand on her arm and was pulled upwards. She stood up violently, nearly tripping on her own 2 feet and was caught bye the embrace of Kyo's arms. Her eyes widened when she realized what had happened.
"Stop... Stop crying because of that asshole!! He isn't worth your tears!!! Don't believe everything Zane says to you, he's trying to fool you!" Kyo hugged her tightly. The others just stared at Kyo's actions in shock. Lele started to sniffle a bit. Kyo released his grasp. He placed his hands on Lele's wet face. She stared at him eye to eye again. Kyo's expression seemed sad and concerned.
He took his thumbs and wiped the remaining tears from her eyes, "Please don't cry anymore about him. Okay?"
"I'll try," Lele nodded.
"Hey Lele," Kagura said, "Why don't you spend the night here? Tohru you stay too, okay?" "Yes, let's have a sleepover!" Tohru cheered.
"Kagura, do you think Hatori would mind if I spent the night as well?" Yuki asked.
"I don't see why not. Hell, you use to live here," Kagura stated.
"Just as long as you and Kyo don't try to sneak into Kagura's room," a man's deep voice said from behind them all. Everyone turned to look where the voice came from. It was Hatori standing behind Yuki.
Tohru giggled, "Hatori, you scared us!"
"I'm not gonna go in her room!!" Kyo yelled.
"Yes Hatori, we aren't perverted like Shigure. Oh, I'll have to call him and let him know I'll be here tonight," Yuki thought out loud placing a finger on his chin. Kagura grabbed Lele's hand and guided her and Tohru upstairs.
"Why don't the 3 of us take a bath together in the Japanese style bathroom?" Tohru asked. "Yeah, and then we could pamper Lele until she's all better!" Kagura cheered running up the stairs.
Splashes and giggles could be heard downstairs. Yuki sat reading a book and Kyo was in the den on the computer. Kyo thought to himself, "Why did I do that? She must think I'm a weirdo now." Hatori was making dinner for everyone. Kagura placed a hand full of shampoo onto Lele's hair and began to lather. Tohru scrubbed Lele's back, legs, and arms. She handed the sponge to Lele so she could finish the rest. They all sat in front of the large mirror placed on the floor.
"Wow Lele, I never realized what large breast you have," Tohru said looking at Lele's reflection. "Yeah, wish I had your chest," Kagura sighed, "and you're hair color too. It makes to look exotic. Forget about Zane, with your looks you could get any guy you wanted!"
Tohru stated, "Like Kyo! I think he likes you." Lele sat there with a sad look on your face. She stared at the light blue floor tiling not hearing Tohru words.
"Okay, time to rinse!" Kagura said and poured a large bowl of water on Lele's head. Tohru began to wash up and waited for Kagura to finish while she was done. Lele dried up and wrapped herself in the towel. The 3 girls walked to Kagura's room and began to get dressed. Kagura fiddled with the tags that was left on new panties she bought. She handed one to Tohru and then Lele, "Here, brand new!" Tohru searched in Kagura's dresser for some pj's for them. She handed Lele a yellow and lavender short short's with matching tank top. Kagura dressed herself in red shirt that resembled a gym shirt and matching shorts. Tohru wore a blue and white nightgown decorated with clouds and stars. Lele blow dried her hair. When she was done, Kagura and Tohru did the same. They heard Hatori call from the stairs that dinner was ready.
At the table, there was small conversation in the beginning.
"Ya know Kagura," Lele began to say, "We've been friends for so long and I never knew you had such a large family."
"Huh? Yeah, I do," Kagura laughed.
Hatori began to explain, "Because of the school being so well known, most the Soma's have attended it. Just like the three of them, Shigure, Ayame, and I went there as well. That's why Kagura and Kyo live here and Yuki lives with Shigure. A few of us, like Hatsuharu and Momiji live farther away. But, we all try to say close." He smiled.
"Wish I had a family like that. I live with my sister because my parents and I don't get along. My other relatives live far away and don't keep in touch," Lele said sadly and poked at her food with a fork.
"Well, it's just me and my mom. My uncle and his family live in a large house in the next town," Tohru stated.
"Well, I hate my parents," Yuki and Kyo said in unison.
"Stop copying me dammit!" Kyo yelled across the table.
"I didn't copy you fool. We said it at the same time," Yuki said and took a sip of his drink.
"Who are you calling a fool?!" yelled Kyo.
"Well, I don't see anyone else yelling at the table when we have guests."
"Forget this! I'm going to bed!" Kyo stomped out of the kitchen.
"Um, thank you for the dinner Hatori. But I'm afraid I don't have an appetite," Lele said and stood up from the table, "Excuse me." "Lele, you barely touched your food-"Tohru said. Hatori waved a hand at Tohru, "Its okay. Let her be." They watched as Lele left the kitchen.
Upstairs, Kyo was on his way to the bathroom when he saw Lele coming up the stairs. His eyes followed her as she walked into Kagura's room. He grits his teeth and thinks to himself, "She needs to get over him. She deserves better." He continued his walk.
About 20 minutes later, Tohru and Kagura arrived in the room. They found Lele sitting on a decorated bench at the open window. "Lele you'll catch a cold!" Tohru said and closed the window. "Why don't we watch a movie?" Kagura asked. "Yeah, sure what do you have?" Tohru asked. Kagura went over to over to her TV and looked through a stack of DVD's. "How about something funny, like..... Freaky Friday," Kagura said and placed the DVD into the slot. The girls surrounded the screen and sat on cushions Tohru moved from the bench.
Fifteen minutes into the movie, Kagura looked over to and saw Lele asleep on the floor. "Tohru, she's asleep." Tohru looked over to Lele, "She'll get all stiff sleeping like that," Tohru whispered. Kagura stopped the movie and ran to the hallway. She knocked on the guest room door. Yuki wasn't in his room yet. She then knocked on Kyo's room door. He opened it and said, "Whatta ya want?" "Kyo, Lele fell asleep on the floor. Do you think you can pick her up and put her in my bed?" Without hesitation, Kyo walked to Kagura's room across the hall. She bent down and slowly lifted Lele. Tohru moved the covers aside and Kyo placed Lele gently on the bed. Tohru covered Lele. "Thanks Kyo," the girls said. "No problem," Kyo said and walked back to his room. "Yeah, Kyo defiantly has a thing Lele," Kagura said and sat back down on the floor
Later that night, Lele woke up. She looked over to the glowing clock, it was past midnight. She noticed Kagura and Tohru asleep on the other side of the king sized bed. The room was filled with moon light and the sound of Kagura snoring. Her stomach rumbled loudly. Lele tiptoed out of the room and down the stairs. She walked over to the kitchen and searched for a snack. It was dark in the kitchen except for the moonlight shining through the windows. Suddenly a light came on. Lele's eyes closed until she could adjust to the new light. By the doorway, she saw Kyo standing there.
"Hey, what're you doing up so late?" he asked walking towards her.
"Well, I got hungry and came down for a snack. What about you?"
"Same here. That damn Yuki made me sick. I can't wait for him to leave later." Kyo opened the fridge and took out a gallon of milk. Lele sat down at the table. Kyo lifted the glass covering of a chocolate cake Kagura made. He cuts two slices and placed them on 2 small plates. He poured milk into 2 small cups. Kyo removed 2 forks from a cabinet drawer. He gave Lele a plate, glass, and fork. He set a place for himself next to her and sat down. Lele began to eat when Kyo joked," Hope you don't die. Kagura's food is gross. But there's nothing else to eat." Lele tried to smile.
Several minutes went by and the clock in the front entrance chimed 1:00. Kyo placed the dirty dishes into the dishwasher and turned off the light. Lele bumped into the table and fell backwards. Kyo caught her in time "Hey! You okay!?" "Yeah, I just could see after you turned off the light. I'm so clumsy," Lele said. Kyo lifted her up. "I'm not really tired anymore," Lele said.
"Yeah, me neither. Wanna hang out outside? It's a cool night. You can clear your head." Lele nodded. Kyo opened the back door and led Lele outside. They sat at the stoop about a foot apart. Lele tucked in her knees under her chin and stared at the leaves on the ground.
Kyo took in a deep breath and sigh, "Air feels good doesn't it?" Lele nodded.
Kyo thought to himself, "I want to cheer her up but I don't know how."
Lele stood up and said, "I'm going back inside, it's getting cold."
Kyo stood up, "Wait!" Lele turned and looked over to him.
Kyo looked down at the ground and said, "I know what you can do to repay me."
"What?"
"Remember that night; you said you wanted to repay me. And I said I'd tell you what I wanted." "Yes, I remember now. So, what is it? I'll do it. It's the lease I can do." Kyo grabbed Lele's hand and pulled her close to him.
"...kiss." She heard him whisper.
"What? I didn't hear you."
"I said a kiss." Lele cocked her head to the side and kissed his cheek.
"No," Kyo voice was low and demading.
"Huh? No what?"
"I didn't mean there," Kyo said and placed a hand on the back of Lele's neck. He leaned in and kissed Lele on her lips. Lele's eyes widened with surprise. His soft full lips felt like pillows to her. She tasted chocolate on his mouth. Before her mind could fully react to what happened, her body fell slowly into his kiss. Her eyes closed and she positioned her bottom lip between his lips. Kyo's hands moved slowly from her face, down her arms and onto her waist. Lele lifted her hands and placed them around Kyo's shoulders. He hugged her tightly and kissed her with a little more force. A gust of wind blew some more leaves off of the nearby trees and whipped Lele's raven black hair.
Kyo thought to himself, "She didn't pull away, she's still here. Is this real? Are we actually doing this? My first kiss is with the most gorgeous girl I know!"
Lele at the same time thought, "Should I be doing this? I'm kissing someone that isn't Zane. But, this kiss feels much better than Zane's kisses. His are more firm and less passionate. Kyo's kiss makes me feel better about kissing him. He isn't pushing himself against me."
Lele took in a breath through her nose and sighed. Her hair whipped Kyo's face like tiny needles. He pulled away for a moment to remove it from his face.
"Is that it?" Lele thought. She looked over to her side with thinned eyes.
Kyo placed his head beside Lele's and whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry. I bet that was a little to much to ask for."
"No don't be. I said I would do anything," she whispered back. Her hands rubbed his shoulders. "Lele, it's just... I hated to see you so upset over Zane. Like I said before, he isn't worth all the pain. I never had feelings like this for you, but after you sang and when you fell on me at your sister's house, I thought about you more and more. I know it sounds dumb. I mean, we barely know each other and I don't want you to think I'm trying to get you on the rebound." He stood up and looked at Lele straight into the eye and said, "I want to make you happy. I know you still hurt and probably will for awhile. But just know that, when that hurt is gone, I'll be here waiting for you. I want to be with you."
"You're right Kyo, and I understand your feelings. But like you said, I need to get over this hurt first." Lele turned around and entered the house, "I'm going back to bed. See you in the morning." She walked through the kitchen and back upstairs to Kagura's room.
Kyo stood there for a few minutes thinking, "It was real and we did kiss." Kyo smiled to himself. He happily ran back upstairs and to his room.
