I don't own Fruits Basket! With that aside, I'll explain this chapter. I so wanted to make Kyo seem like a hopeless romantic. I hope it worked. Tell me what you think!


Lele spent Monday and Tuesday at home. Kagura and Tohru came by after school to hang out and do homework.

"Oh, Lele, the cat was wondering if you liked my cake." Lele looked at Kagura surprised. Tohru began to laugh.

"Are you teasing me about my dream?"

"No I'm not because it wasn't a dream."

Lele combed he hair to the back of her ear, "Yes it was."

"Lele, Hatori found 2 dirty dishes, 2 cups and 2 forks in the dishwasher a few days ago. There was also a big piece of cake gone. Hatori put what you and Kyo said at breakfast together along with what he found, and that fact that you and Kyo had no dinner that night."

Kagura thought back to the night everyone returned home from the park. "So, it seems the cat was here all along," Hatori said with a smile.

"You mean, Kyo kissed Lele?!" Kagura exclaimed. Kyo walked in a few minutes later. Both of them looked at Kyo.

"What? I didn't come home late!" he stomped up the stairs.

"Kyo, did Lele like the cake?" Hatori asked.

"Yeah I think so, she-"his eyes widened and his hair stood on end.

Kagura laughed out loud, "It was you she was talking about!!"

Kyo ran up the stairs," Uh... I gotta take a leak!!" He slammed his room door.

"I thought he said he needed the restroom?" Hatori laughed.

"So, I told Tohru and we both think you should date Kyo."

"I can't right now," Lele said and lowered her head.

"Well of course! But, after you get over Zane the Lame." Kagura said.

"It's just that, it's gonna be hard to trust him after all that I've been through."

"That's true. But Kyo's a nice boy Lele. Sure he has a temper, he's a bit rude, and he's loud but other than that, he had good qualities," Tohru said.

"I suppose," Lele said and scribbled on a piece of paper.

"You do know you were Kyo's first kiss," Kagura said while twirling a pencil.

"I was?!" Lele shot up her head with a big smile.

"I knew it! You do like him! Yeah you were. Kyo's always been really shy about girls. You might even be his first real girlfriend if things go well." Lele blushed.

"This is so great! And who knows, if you stay together and get married, we could have a joint wedding!!" Tohru eyes sparkled and she began to day dream of the wedding.

"Speaking of marriage, Zane said he got me an engagement ring."

"What?!" Tohru and Kagura said that the same time. Lele explained what happened a few nights ago.

"Goodness that ass hole really wants to get in your pants!!"

"You didn't tell him about Kyo did you?" Tohru asked.

"Kyo's got nothing to worry about. He could take on Zane and kick his ass!!" Kagura proclaimed.

"No, I told him not to call me anymore and I didn't want to see him again," Lele said.

Kagura cheered, "Good for you Lele!" When they were all done Kagura and Tohru gathered their things and headed for the door.

Kagura turned around and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Kyo asked me to give this to you," she handed Lele a cd wrapped in lined paper.

Tohru squealed, "Is that a love letter?! How cute!!" her eyes sparkled again. Kagura led Tohru out and they both said goodnight.

Upstairs on her room, Lele sat in her bed in her nightgown. She unfolded the note and read its contents:

"Dear Lele,

Please play the CD. I want you to listen to what I have to say.

Kyo"

Lele walked over to her radio and put the cd inside. She sat on her bed, grabbed the CD player remote, and pushed play.

Suddenly she heard Kyo's voice, "Hi Lele. I'm not very good at writing letters so I thought this was the next best thing. I hope you can here this. I... uh... wanted to know how you were doing. I hope Zane hasn't bothered you lately. If he has, let me know. I won't stand by and let him hurt you. I want to protect you like I did a few nights ago. You've given me something other to fight for than beating Yuki. I can't stop thinking about you and our kiss. Well, my point to this CD is I wanted you to know how I feel about you. I would say it in my own words but I'm no good at expressing myself like that. But I guess you already know that, "he laughed a little, "So instead I put a bunch of different songs on here. I hope that you like them. Here they are."

Suddenly Joe's "I wanna know" played. Lele tucked her knees into her chest and laid her head on her knees. She closed her eyes and smiled. After that song was over, Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" played. Lele went to her window and looked up at the stars.

She thought to herself, "I wish I could see the moon from here."

When the song was over, Maroon 5's "She will be loved." Lele's head shot up when she heard the song begin. She crawled over to her radio and turned it up. She sat in front of it. As the song went on, Lele began to cry. She felt a sharp stabbing feeling in her heart and grabbed her chest. She cried harder.

Lele whispered to herself, "Oh Kyo. I want to be with you right now! I want someone to truly love me, to make me happy!" She pictured all the times she spent with him. She even pictured the first day they met. Kagura introduced them to each other at Hatori's house after they became friends. It seemed like all the times Lele was hurt, Kyo was always there watching her from a distance.

Kyo's voice came back on the radio, "I hope you like those songs. I put some more on. These are more upbeat. I knew you'd probably cry from them so I thought maybe these last few would make you smile. Ya know I hate tears. So, here they are."

A tambourine began to play and then a bass guitar followed by drums. A hard guitar began making the song rock. It was Jet's "Are you gonna be my girl."

Lele laughed, "He's too cute!" She wiped the tears and stood up," I love this song!!" Lele danced lively to the music. She was in her own little club world. Her hair loosened from the red ribbon the held it away from her face, it flew about as Lele swung her head around.

She began laughing, "I feel better already!!"

She clapped along with the others in the music. When that song was over, No Doubt's "New" played. Lele sat on the song and bobbed her head along with the guitar. She sang along with Gwen, "Who sent this maniac?! 'Cuz I never had this taste in the past!" Lele lay back on her pillow still sang, "Don't let go away, this feeling has to stay!!! And I can't believe it, can't believe it..." The song finished and Good Charlotte's "If you want me" played. Lele listened closely to the words. It was her first time hearing the song. As she listened and absorbed the words, a smiled came across her face.

"He really does like me," Lele thought.

"I hope you understand a little better how I feel about you Lele. If you want, you can call me. I got a cell phone the other day from Hatori. He thought it was a good idea if me and Kagura just in case. My number's #576-9540. Well, I hope to talk to you soon. Good night and sweet dreams."

Lele smiled happily as she put the CD on repeat. She fell asleep listening to it. She dreamt of walking around park at night. She was lost. Everywhere she went she saw green eyes glowing at her. She heard a cat's meow and followed it. She entered a clearing and saw an orange cat looking at her. It had fiery red-violet eyes. She tripped on her way over to the cat but was caught by someone. She looked up and saw Kyo. He caught her and picked her up. Kyo carried her over to a blanket. He placed her on the blanket gently. He leaned over her and kissed her again. "Lele..." his voice echoed in a whisper.

Thursday came. Lele sat with Tohru, Kagura, Yuki and Kyo at lunch. Lele left to go to the bathroom when she ran into Zane. She tried to walk past him, but he put out and arm and caught her.

"Let me go!"

"Zane cupped her mouth and said, "We need to have a little chat." He carried Lele outside to where they talked before. Once outside, he pinned her against the wall by the shoulders.

"Where have you been?"

"Avoiding you where else would I be!"

"Oh so we have a smart mouth now!" Zane yelled and slapped Lele. She tired to run but Zane grabbed her by the throat and pinned her against the wall again. She reached up and tired to release his hand, but it was no use. He gripped her like a vice.

"Zane please stop!" she began to cry.

"Only if you say you're mine again!"

Lele spat in his face, "No! Never!" Zane used his other hand to undress Lele. He ripped her uniform blouse open and exposed her bra. All the buttons fell off. Lele screamed. He then put his hand up her skirt.

"You know you like this Lele," Zane whispered to her. He put his face to Lele's and licked the tears that fell from her eyes. "That tastes good. Wonder what you taste like down there!" He yelled and pulled down Lele's skirt. Lele screamed again. She cried and yelled for help.
