Hello, i don't Fruits Basket! XD Well, I was inspired to write this part after I saw the episode were Kyo shares his love for martial arts to Tohru. I think it was #4. Anyway, Kyo seemed like such a joyous child, I kept it in mind as I wrote this chapter. Hope you like it. Please review.

Sunday morning came. Hatori got up early and made everyone breakfast. He played some music to lighten the mood. And it worked. Everyone seemed much happier the next morning, even Lele smiled a bit.

"Glad you're feeling better Lele," Hatori smiled and placed a stack of pancakes on the table. He also made eggs, bacon, and toast. Everyone dug in when he sat down to join them.

"So, did you have any sweet dreams Lele?" Tohru asked grabbing a piece of toast.

"You could say that," Lele smiled. She placed 2 pancakes on her plate.

"What was it about?" Yuki asked.

"Well, there was this cat who gave me chocolate cake and milk. Then we sat outside for a while and talked. But, before I woke up the cat kissed me."

Tohru laughed, "That's funny."

"Sounds disgusting to me," Yuki said sipping some orange juice.

"IT WAS NOT!!! YOU WEREN'T EVEN THERE!!!" Kyo yelled as he stood up.

"And I supposed you were," Yuki said smugly.

"What are you talking about Kyo?" Kagura asked looking uo from her glass. Kyo looked around and noticed everyone was staring at him. He glanced over to Lele. Lele smiled and then giggled.

Her giggles turned into a laugh, "No Kyo! It wasn't! Though it was from a cat, it felt good. I woke up happy!" Kyo sat back down and laughed along with her. Everyone else felt clueless.

The afternoon came. Lele called her sister to tell her what happened the day before.

"Lele, I can't believe he did that to you. He didn't hurt you did he?"

"No. I stayed over night at Kagura's house. Tohru slept over too. We all hung out and stuff." "Well, at least your friends were there to help you. Are you coming home tonight?"

"Yes. We're all going to the park first and then Kagura's cousin Kyo said he'd walk me home." "Oooooh. Okay. Just be careful," Nuni said in a stern voice.

"I will. See ya later," Lele hung up the phone.

"Hey Lele we're leaving now!" Tohru called from the door way. Lele ran to the door and joined the others outside.

The park was a very big. A huge lake filled most of the area. There were benches and a stage area off to one section. There was a baseball diamond on the other side of the lake. A playground was filled with many children young and old. Trees seemed to sparkle with gold, red and orange leaves. When they arrived, Yuki and Tohru took a boat ride. Kagura went what she calls "Man Hunting", Lele and Kyo took a walk around the park grounds.

"Zane never liked coming to the park. He said it was boring. I love coming here. Being surrounded by nature is good for the soul."

"I agree. And I'm not just saying that. I use to come here all the time with our family as a kid. I would challenge Yuki to tree climbing. He would win all the time. It used to piss me off," Kyo lowered his head in shame.

"Why do you and Yuki always fight?" Lele asked while glancing over to him. Kyo lifted his head and looked up at the sky. White fluffy clouds slowly drove themselves into the horizon of the blue sky.

"He'd always get praised by our family for being smart and stuff at school. So, I want to prove that I can be better than him. No matter what it is!"

"Oh, I understand. I use to always wish I could be like my sister Nuni. She's a successful business woman at such a young age. She bought that house when she was 19."

"Wow, no kidding."

"Maybe you'll meet her someday."

"Cool." Kyo said and looked around. A grin came across his face.

Lele had seen him smile like that before, but this time she found it appealing, "Wow...Kyo really is hot now that I think about it..."

"Lele follow me!" he said and began to run up a dirt path. Lele shook herself out of her thoughts and ran after him, "Wait Kyo!"

Kyo ran through the woods and past the lake. Lele finally caught up when Kyo slowed down. "Which way as it again," Kyo asked himself.

"What are you looking for?"

Kyo grabbed her hand, "It's a place I use to go when I was little." They began running again the direction of a water fall. "Almost there," Kyo said and led Lele down a small path. It led behind the water fall. There was a small cave opening. It was too small to walk into, so they had to crawl into it. Kyo stood up when they got inside and helped Lele up.

"Take a look!" Kyo yelled. Lele saw the waterfall from behind. The cave was lite up crystals and shining stones.

"Kyo, this is beautiful!" Lele yelled. The wind blew and howled inside the cave. Lele laughed, "This is so cool!"

Kyo smiled, "Glad you like it. Look over there." He pointed to the wall on the other side. There were small scratches on it. "See! I wrote this when I was 9 years old." It said, 'Kyo's place!' Lele smiled. Kyo bent down and looked for a sharp rock. He found one and scratched above the wall.

"What are you doing?"

Kyo moved aside after he was done, Lele read what he wrote, "Lele & Kyo's place." She smiled and placed her hair behind her ear. Kyo tossed the stone into the water fall. "We should get going. The others are probably looking for us," he suggested. Lele headed out first and Kyo followed.

They met the others by the lake. "So Kagura, any luck?" Lele asked.

Kagura sighed, "Three phone numbers, 2 smiles and 4 already taken."

"Better luck next time," Yuki said. He grabbed Tohru's hand, "We're off. See you guys at school tomorrow."

"Bye Lele, Kyo and Kagura!" Tohru waved.

"So, are you coming with us Kagura?' Kyo asked.

"Nah, Haru and I are going to the mall for a while. I'll see ya later Kyo. Take care of Lele," Kagura waved and then head down a path towards the park entrance. The sun was getting ready to set. Lele and Kyo walked side by side down the street. Little by little, the street lights came on and cars turned on their lights. Kyo noticed a group of guys ahead of them. One of them started to ogle Lele. Kyo grabbed her hand and led her across the street.

"Where are we going?"

"Short cut, trust me!" They cut through an alley and walked behind the buildings. Kyo shifted aside a broken wooden fence plank and wiggled through. Lele did the same. They cut through a yard and winded up a few houses away from where Lele lived.

"Wow that saved us like more than 5 minutes!"

"I took that way home the other night."

They approached Nuni's house just as Nuni peeked outside to see if Lele was near the house yet.

"Well, here we are," Kyo said. He walked Lele to her door.

"Will you be in school tomorrow?"

"I dunno. I'm still kinda upset, ya know?"

"Yeah I understand," Kyo said and let go of Lele's hand.

"Thanks for walking me home again," Kyo leaned over to him and kissed his cheek, "Bye," she said and walked inside. Kyo smiled to himself and walked down the street towards Hatori's house.

"Hey sis," Nuni began to speak when Lele entered, "that jack ass called here 3 times looking for you."

"Zane, what did he want?" Lele asked as she took off her shoes.

"I dunno. I told him to stop calling here are I was gonna call the cops."

"Oh okay. Nuni, do you mind if I stay home for a few days?"

"Sure, just make sure you get your homework."

"Yes I will," Lele said and walked upstairs to her room. She plopped down onto her bed. She stared at the ceiling. An image of Kyo appeared before her.

"I don't know. It's gonna be hard to trust Kyo. After all that Zane did to me, all the crap my dad gives me, it's gonna be real hard to trust any guys ever again. But, I think Kyo's different. He's like a 9 year old stuck in an 18 year olds body. He's funny, sweet, gentle and likes all the things that Zane never liked. He respects me and," she blushed, "he's really cute and good kisser. I don't think he's ever kissed girl before from what Kagura has told me. If that's true, I'm glad I was his first." Lele's hair fell from the bed. She closed her violet eyes and imagined being with Kyo again. Just then, the phone rang.

Lele answered it, "Hello, Arai residence, Lele speaking."

"Lele, it's me Zane. Please don't hang up!"

"What do you want? Haven't you had enough of breaking my heart?!"

"Lele I called because I got good news. I bought you a ring, an engagement ring."

"Zane, are you serious?" Lele said happily.

"Yes Lele, I want to propose to you in front your parents." "Oh that's-"Lele stopped and thought about what Kyo said, "...don't believe everything Zane says to you, he's trying to fool you!"

"Hello?" Zane asked. He thought to himself, "I know she'll say yes. She believes me all the time."

"No Zane! I don't want to be with you anymore!! You hurt me! You hurt me in a way I could never forgive you!!" Zane's mouth dropped and he barely said, "But Lele-"

"No Zane, I've had it. Don't call me anymore!!" Lele yelled and hung up the phone.

"Damn that little bitch!!" Zane yelled and slammed the down onto the receiver.

"So I guess this means no threesome," Nikki laughed. She was sitting naked and smoking a cigarette on Zane's bed. "Darn it! She looked so tasty too," Nikki laughed.

"Shut up!!" Zane yelled and smacked Nikki.

Nikki just smiled, "That's right; take all your anger out on me. I like a little S&M."

LOL! I know I made Nikki seem like such a bitch!!! But she's a funny bitch! LOL, anyway, next chapter will be a sweet one. Title: Serenade on CD.

Adios!
