Sorry this took so long to get up. Once again I don't own Fruits Basket. PLease review, it makes me oh so happy!!!
Inside the school, Kyo began to worry and said , "Lele's taking a long time."
"You're right. Maybe we should see if she's okay," Kagura suggested. She and Tohru left to the bathroom. Kyo sat there impatiently. Yuki sat up and began searching the cafeteria with his eyes. Kagura and Tohru ran back to the cafeteria huffing and puffing, "Lele...Lele's... not there!"
"And Zane isn't here either, "Yuki stated.
Kyo stood up and proclaimed, "We need to find her now!" They all split up and went searching for Lele. Yuki checked the empty class rooms. Tohru and Kagura asked around if anyone saw her. Kyo went to the place he remembered from the first time he followed them. Just as Kyo reached the door to go outside he heard Lele scream for help. Yuki was down the hall when he saw Kyo run for the door. He yelled for Kagura and Tohru to follow him. zthey abandoned their search and followed Yuki orders.
Kyo slid and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Lele against the wall half naked. "K-Kyo!" Lele tried to scream but only choked. Zane was just about to his hand down Lele panties when she saw Kyo standing there. Kyo's teeth were grit. His eyebrows lowered together and he clenched his fists. In a screaming rage, Kyo lunged at Zane and punched him square in the jaw. Lele fell to her knees and coughed. Kagura and Tohru arrived just in time.
"Lele!!" Tohru screamed in horror. She cupped her mouth with one hand.
"Tohru get Yuki and some help hurry!" Kagura demanded Tohru nodded and ran back inside.
She yelled to Yuki from down the hall, "Yuki! Help!! Kyo's fighting Zane!"
Outside, Zane stood up and fixed his jaw. "You gotta lot of nerves punk!"
Kyo stood ready to fight, "At least I have some jack ass! Lele, are you okay?"
Kagura arrived at Lele's side "I got her Kyo. Just kick his ass!" She huddles next to her dear friend and watched. Zane ran at Kyo and struck him with his fist. He hit Kyo's chest causing Kyo to loose his balance for a moment but then regained it. Kyo and Zane went back and forth exchanging fists and words.
"You think those weak hits will hurt me! I'LL MAKE YOU SWALLOW YOUR TEETH YOU PUNK BITCH!!!" Zane barked.
"Not before I punch you so hard in the mouth you'll be shittin' my sneaker!!" Kyo growled back.
Lele watched in amazement as Kyo spin kicked Zane in the face. Zane landed on the grass. He was knocked out. Kyo stood in a fighting stance, in case Zane moved again. When it was clear, he dropped his guard, removed his uniform shirt and walked over to Lele.
"Here put this on," He handed her the shirt. Kagura helped Lele dress herself. Kyo stood there looking around.
"Good going Kyo. You really showed him!" Kagura cheered. They heard a door slam open. Yuki and Tohru arrived with female and 2 male teachers.
"What happened here!?" the first teacher asked.
Lele explained, "Zane was trying to rape me when Kyo showed up to save me!" Just then, there was a loud moan.
Zane woke up and stumbled to his feet, "You little red headed bastard! I'll kill you..." The teachers ran over to Zane and held him back from doing anything more. They led him away from the scene and to the principal's office.
Zane yelled back, "Did you hear me Soma!!?? I'm gonna kill you!!"
Kyo knelt down beside Lele. Lele began to sob and jumped on Kyo. He caught her as the fell backwards and she cried, "Thank you so much!! I was so scared again. He was never like that with me before!"
Kyo hugged Lele tightly as she lay ontop of him and whispered to her, "Its okay. I'm here, remember? I won't ever let him touch you again. I'll protect you." Tohru began to cry and Yuki comforted her.
"Miss Arai and Mr. Soma, I'll need to speak to the both of you in my office," a women said from behind them. It was the vice principal Ms. Swords. Lele and Kyo followed her to her office down the hall from the office Zane was in.
Lele and Kyo explained the situation to Ms. Swords. She called Lele's sister. She explained to her what happened and asked her to come and pick up Lele from school. "And as for you Mr. Soma, you will be suspended from school for a day."
"Fine, I don't care. If that's the price I pay for protecting Lele. It doesn't matter." There was a sudden beep on the office phone. Ms. Swords answered it and spoke for a few minutes.
"It seems the principal agrees with my decision. He has also informed me that Zane will be expelled and banned from school property." Lele and Kyo smiled. They heard a police siren pull into school grounds. They saw Zane being handcuffed and out into the police car. Zane looked up and saw Lele at the window.
He smiled and mouthed the words, "I love you."
Lele stomach dropped and her eyes widened. She felt a cold chill down her spine as if fresh cold blood was being poured down her back. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Nuni walked in and ran to Lele.
She cried, "Lele! Are you okay? Did he hurt you?! I'm pressing charges on him after I get you home." She glanced over to Kyo, "Are you the boy who saved my sister?" Kyo nodded. Nuni jumped on Kyo and hugged him, "Thank you so much for helping Lele!!" Kyo blushed a bit. Nuni placed a hand on Lele and led her to the bathroom. Kyo followed them out. He waited by the door for Lele. Lele stepped out in a large gray t-shirt and jeans. "Here you go!" Nuni said happily and handed Kyo his shirt. He put the shirt back on.
Lele gave Kyo another hug and whispered in his ear, "Meet me later at our place. 3:00." Kyo looked a bit surprised. Lele stood in front of him and said thank you again. He watched her leave the school ground with her sister.
When Kyo returned to class, everyone cheered for him. Kyo didn't say anything and walked to his seat. People congratulated him and patted his back as he took his seat. After school, Kyo ran home to shower and change. He told Hatori what happened. Hatori was proud of Kyo and said, "I hope things work out for you." Kyo ran out of the house just as Kagura got home. He ran all the way to the park non-stop. He took the path to the cave entrance. Once he got there he looked around to make sure no one saw him. Then he got on his hands and knees and crawled inside. Lele stood up when she saw him.
Kyo smiled and said, "Hi." Lele slowly walked over to Kyo. She stood in front of him with her head down.
"What's wrong?" Kyo asked. He was confused. Lele lifted her head.
She was smiling but had tears in her eyes, "I want to repay you again."
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly. Kyo was shocked and it took a moment for him to comprehend what was happening. When he did, he placed one hand on the back of her head and the other on her lower back. Kyo's wet hair dripped cold water on Lele's face, she removed on hand from him to wipe her face. Kyo grabbed it and placed it back where it was. He used his free hand and wiped her face for her. In-between kisses, Lele kept saying, "Thank you." Kyo pulled away for a moment so she could speak.
"What did you say?" he joked.
Lele took a deep breath and said, "When I think about what happened or what could have happened, I get scared all over again. But then I picture you, fighting him and really kicking his ass-"she made a cute little fist and pouted face. Kyo couldn't help but chuckle at how cute she looked. Lele continued, "I could stop thinking about you!"
Kyo smiled and said, "Does this mean-"
"Yes! I want to be with you! And not just for protection but because ever since the 1st time we kissed, you stayed on my mind the whole night! I wanted to go back and kiss you again!"
Kyo cheered with happiness. His voice echoed in the cave loudly. They both laughed.
They exited the cave before it got dark. On the way back to Lele's house they talked about the things they had in common.
"I love to watch anime!" Lele said.
"Really!? I do too. Ever see Flame of Recca?"
"Yes! I've only seen it on tape though."
"What's better dubbed or subbed? I say subbed," Kyo stated.
"Yeah I think so too."
They found out they liked the same movies, food, animals, places and people. And they both dislike a lot of the same things. They reached Lele's door step. "I won't be in school tomorrow," Kyo said. He was upset he wouldn't be able to see Lele during school, "Call me at lunch to let me know how you're doing. I'll come and pick you up right after."
"I have to work tomorrow," Lele said sadly.
"Then I'll take you to work and pick you up from there too." Lele smiled. Kyo bowed his head. He gently bumped Lele's head and kissed her lips. Lele felt her heart skip a beat.
Kyo whispered in her ear, "Good night, said the cat." Lele giggled a bit. Kyo jumped off the stairs and turned back to Lele. He blew her a kiss and then ran down the street towards his home.
Lele opened the door and hit her sister in the head. "Ow!"
"Nuni, were you spying on me!?"
"Ye-I mean no. Okay, yes I was," Nuni laughed rubbing her head. Lele went up to her room. Nuni followed her. "So..."
"So, what?"
"Well, how old is he?"
"18. He's older than be by 3 months."
"Does he have a brother?"
"No, but a hell of a lot of cousins."
"Eh, close enough. He sure is a cutie. I could eat him with a spork!" Nuni giggled.
"Well, too bad. He's mine!" Lele laughed. "Nuni..." Lele started.
Nuni looked at her, "Yes?"
"Do you think I'm moving too fast? Like from one boyfriend to the next."
"Lele, in your situation, one can't blame you. Kyo really seems like a nice boy. Listen to me, I sound like a mom!" Nuni laughed, "But seriously. I think he's perfect for you. He likes you for you. He protected you. He cares about you and wants to be with you no matter what. Those are things that Zane never had. Take it from someone that's been through lots of relationships. You should treasure a boy like him, trust me, you won't find another one like him for miles!" Nuni hugged her sister and said, "Lele, as long as you are happy, that's all that matters." She kissed Lele on the head. "Dinner will be ready in a few." Nuni walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
Lele sat on her bed and thought to herself, "As long as I'm happy. I thought I was happy with Zane, but it was all his lies and sweet talk that made me happy. He didn't really love me and I only knew puppy love. But maybe with Kyo, when I fall in love with him, I'll know what true happiness is." Lele got changed into her pajamas as she hummed a song. As soon as she was ready she headed down stairs for dinner.
Kyo smiled all the way home. He walked through the door and said," I'm home!!!" It was quiet. "Hello? Anyone home?" Kyo walked towards the kitchen.
A light flashed on and people cheered, "Congrats Kyo!" Kyo was confused, "Huh? For what?" Momiji cheered, "For finally getting a girl friend!!"
Kyo looked around and saw all the people who were there. All the cousins, even the one's he didn't like.
"Amazing! Our little Kyo is finally growing up!" Ayame proclaimed and placed a hand on Kyo shoulder.
Kyo knocked him on the head, "Get off me! I've been grown!!" Ayame stood up and laughed.
"I made dinner!!" Kagura sang as she held up a glass dish. Everyone groaned.
"FINE THAN EAT CRAP!!!" Kagura yelled and she threw the food into the sink. "No thanks, we already ordered delivery chinese food," Shigure said and waved a hand.
"Excuse me, Hatori, where's the bathroom again?" Haru asked.
Everyone said in unison, "Down the hall second door on the right!"
"Momiji, could you help him?" Hatori asked. Momiji guided Haru out of the kitchen. There was a sudden crashing noise. Everyone looked over and saw that Ritsu dropped a plate.
He ran over to Hatori and begged for forgiveness, "I'll buy you another! I'm so sorry!! Please don't hate me!! I'm so sorry!!"
Hatori sighed and said, "I'll forgive you if you clean up the mess." Ritsu cried as he got the broom and dustpan. He even cleaned up Kagura's food. Momiji returned with Haru.
Haru asked, "Where's Yuki?"
"Well, when he heard we were all coming by to congratulate Kyo he decided to stay home," Shigure explained.
"Good once less family member I gotta worry about," Kyo walked down the hall and up the stairs. Half way up, his cell phone rang. He answered it quickly, "Hello, Lele?!"
"AAWWWW, how cute!!!!" the others teased.
Kyo covered the phone and yelled, "SHUT UP!!!!" He ran up the stairs and into his room. That night, he and Lele had their first late night phone call. They hung up at 1 am because Kyo's phone's battery needed to be charged.
Yay the others appeared!!! That's not the last of them though.
Also, Flame Of Recca is a really good anime and manga. I suggest it.
