Hello for the last time everyone! It's been a year since I began submitting this fanfic that tooks me a few months to write. In the beginning it was tough. I didn't get many reviews but I guess due to my come back after my comp crashed, things got better from there on out. I really had a lot of fun writing this story. But do not fear! I won't be gone from fan writing for ever! Infact, I came up with an idea while looking at a fanart a drew last year,on my Deviant account: KawaiiTinita.

Anyway, on with the last chapter: Boiling Tears (I WARN YOU IT GETS REALLY LEMONY in the beginning)

I don't own Fruits Basket or any of it's chracters, but all the other's you've come to enjoy were created by mt sick sad head! LOL


A few minutes later, Tom woke up.

He struggled for his radio and spoke into it, "This is Tom… the cruiser has run into a small ditch…" he looked over his shoulder to the back, "Shit! The boy and girl have been kidnapped!" Tom punchedup on the seat.

The women came on the radio again. "Tom, we've locked onto your location! Back up is on its way! Tom took off his seat belt and fell down. He kicked opened the door and crawled out. Then he stood up and walked up the hill.

He looked around and noticed he was in the middle of a long wooden area, "They had this planned all along. I hope that kid can take care himself and the girl." There was a sudden sound of sirens in the distance. Tom pulled out his flashlight and signaled where he was.

"Kkkyyyyoooo…." A familiar voice called to him. "Kyo-Kyo its time to wake up. You'll be late for work!" Kyo walked over to the door in a small house. He openeditand saw Lele in a kitchen. She was humming a familiar tune as she made breakfast. She turned around and looked at him. The sunlight from the window behind her shone like a golden halo around Lele's hair, "Good morning! Breakfast will be ready soon. You look very nice." Kyo looked down at himself. He was wearing a suit and tie. He sat down at the table and Lele placed a plate of food in front of him. He began eating as she poured him a glass of apple juice. She gave it to him and he took a sip.

"I love your food Lele," he said with a full mouth.

She smiled at him, "You always say that!"

"I had the craziest dream Lele. We were in a police car that got run over by another car and landed in a ditch."

Lele then frowned, "That wasn't a dream Kyo. This is..." Just as she said that everything around them darkened. Lele disappeared into the darkness. "LELE!" Kyo called out as he tired to reach her. Suddenly loud music playing over head, it was Dir En Grey "Pink Killer". (mind you I have never listened to the song but I read the lyrics and I'm glad I still have my sanity)

The loudblast of the music wokehim up. He was tied to a metal chair and sitting in a dank basement. His head was cut on a few places and his cheek trobbed with pain. He shook his head and thought, "What the hell? Where am I?"

"Kyo!" Lele called to him.

He looked up and saw Lele. She was 5 feet away from him and only wearing her panties, with her hands tied to the metal posts of the bed she was laying on. She had cuts and bruises on her face, arms and legs. Her hair was messed around her face and hung off the edge of the bed.

She was crying, "Kyo, thank god you woke up!"

Kyo grunted as he tired to wiggle out of the ropes, "Lele! Ugh! Where are we!"

Lele hiccupped, "Hanja's basement! I knew he was the one who helped Zane! I'm so sorry you got caught up in all this Kyo!"

Still struggling, he said, "Lele… you didn't… do anything wrong! Don't apologize! We just need to-"he was cut short when door up top the basement stairs opened. A tall burley man poked his head down and then said, "Ah, so you're both awake! Hey Zane, Hanja! They're awake!" Hanja and Zane walked down the stairs.

Zane called up to the man, "Ken, watch the doors and windows. We'll be busy for a while," he looked over and smiled. Hanja walked over to Kyo and Zane over to Lele. He sat down beside Lele and rubbed her face with histhumb, "How have you been.. Lele?"

"GET THE HELL OFF HER!" Kyo yelled. Zane looked over to him and began leaning in towards Lele's face. "DON'T YOU DARE! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" Kyo lunged forward but Hanja pulled on his hair and threw him back into his chair. Kyo cringed in pain and then looked back at Lele and Zane. Zane grabbed Lele's face and thrust her upwards and into his face. He kissed her with much force and Lele muffled a cry. Kyo's eyes widened and his mouth opened a bit. He slammed her head back down onto the mattress.

Lele panted and barked, "I hate you!"

Zane smiled at her, "I'm so glad you missed me. Now from what Hanja tells me, you've been cheating on me with this Kyo kid."

"I'm not your girlfriend anymore Zane! Our relationship crumbled long ago! Leave him alone!" Zane stood up and walked over to Kyo.

He stood in front of Kyo and said, "And you, after I'm done with Lele, I get to settle my score with you." He was about to punch Kyo hard in the face but Hanja caught his hand, "Hey, you said I could have him." Zane yanked his hand out of Hanja's holdand chuckled, "Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot I promised him to you."

"What're you taking about!" Lele yelled.

Zane turned to her and said, "Hanja here got a kick outta that punch he got out of Kyo and developed a sort of... hunger for him..."

"What! Hanja-"

"Well, he was getting worried he'd get caught for rapin' chicks and decided to try a tighter place of enjoyment."

"Once I get out of these ropes, I'm using them to hang you!" Kyo barked at him. Hanja went over to a wall beside the stair case and removed a 4 foot whip. He traced the outline of Kyo's face with his fingerand fiercely put his hand in the air. He began striking it on Kyo chestand face. It opened the small wounds that began to heal and made him bleed. "NO STOP! PLEASE STOP HIM ZANE!" She cried loudly, "PLEASE… stop…"

"Hanja, wait 'til later man. After I'm done, you can use the bed," Zane continued with a smile and looked over to Lele, "He won't do anything until after we're done."

Zane walked back over to Lele. He thenunzipped the jump suit he was still wearing and stood there in his boxers. Lele's eyes opened wide and her she said in a shaky voice, "What are you going to do!"

Zane closed his eyes and smiled, "Something I've waited over 2 years to do." Then finally Zane walked to the other side of the bed and took off his boxers. He got up on the bed and crawled on top of Lele. She closed her eyes, grits her teeth, and closed her legs as tight as she could.

Zane put his forehead to hers and said, "Not to worry, I'm saving the best for last." He grabbed the metal bar of the head board and slid his lower body forward. He sat on Lele's mid-abdomen with his penis between her breasts. He grabbed her breasts from their sides and pushed them together.

Kyo got a hot feeling on his back and screamed, "LEAVE HER ALONE YOU ASSHOLE! I'LL KILL YOU!" Zane looked over to Kyo.

He said with a stern voice, "Hanja!" Hanja nodded and hit Kyo again with his whip. He knelt down and licked the side of Kyo's face, making him cringe and sqruim.

"STOP LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Lele yelled as she cried. A small trail of blood fell down the side of Kyo's head and Hanja caught it with his tongue. Zane looked down at Lele, "If you don't do what I say, who knows what I might have Hanja do. " He grinned from ear to ear and thrust himself back and forth, holding tightly onto her nipples. Zane put his head back and moaned, "Yeah... that feels good."

Lele began crying again, "Kyo don't look at me! DON'T LOOK PLEASE!"

Kyo shut his eyes tight turned his head to the left. Zane looked over and saw Kyo look away. He mocked in ahigh wailing voiceLele, " 'Kyo don't look at me!' He does what she says. Let's see if she's the same." He grabbed Lele by the hair, lifted her head in front of hismanhood and said, "Suck it."

Kyo shot his head towards them, "Don't do it Lele!" Lele tightened her lips by biting doen on them. "I thought so," Zane said. He shook Lele and yelled, "Suck it or Hanja gets to be then one who gets sucked!" Hanja unzipped his pants.

"Don't listen to him Lele!" Kyo yelled. S

he turned her head towards Kyo. Tears fell swiftly asshe cracked a soft and desperate smile, "Its okay Kyo. You've done so much for me. I don't want you to get hurt anymore because of me."

"No Lele! I can take the pain!"

"You shut up or I'm gonna go straight to her pussy!" Kyo's mouth stood open but no words came out. "That's better, now Lele, be a good girl and suck it! And don't even think about biting me." Lele slowly opened her mouth but Zane wasted no time and shoved himself into her. Lele's eye shot open and she gagged as Zane thrust himself in and out of her mouth. Kyo turned his head to the side again and tightly closed his eyes.

Zane saw him through the corner of his eyes and yelled, "LOOK AT HER OR YOU KNOW WHAT'LL HAPPEN!" Lele's muffled cry echoed in Kyo's head. He turned his head back and looked at Lele. She cried louder as hot tears flooded her eyes and made currents on her cheeks. Zane moaned and chuckled, "You're such a good girl Lele." He pulled himself out of her mouth, "That's enough of that. Hmm... I've always wondered what Lele tasted like." Zane smirked as looked over to Kyo. Lele coughed and spat to the side. Zane stood up and walked over to a table at the end of the bed. He opened a drawer and pulled out a small pocket knife. He flicked the blade out from its hiding place in the handle. Kyo's eyes widened along with Lele's. Zane crawled back to the bottom of the bed. He thenslid the blade under the lining of Lele's panties and cut them. After wards,he threw the blade to the side once it landed near the stairs, he separated Lele's legs. She tired her hardest to close them, which Zane got angry at, "STOP IT BITCH! HANJA!"

Hanja slipped off his pants and stood to Kyo's side. Lele stopped resisting and Zane smiled. He leaned in and stuck out his tongue out. He licked Lele's thighs and then licked his way to her clit. Lele sobbed loudly. Zane bit her a little and Lele screamed in pain. Kyo's eyes began to water. "I'm gonna cry…. there's nothing... nothingI can do for her…. being tied to this stupid chair not able to do a damn thing! Not anything except….cry…." Kyo thought to himself. His eyes closed as small streams fell down his checks. It was the first time Kyo cried in a long time.

His eyes shot open when he heard Lele scream, "No don't touch me there!" Zane began rubbing his hand on her. He smiled as he slowly pushed 2 fingers into Lele's vagina. The smile quickly faded and Zane said in a confused tone, "What!" He pulled his finger out and examined them.

Hanja asked, "What's wrong Zane?" His eyes narrowed and he stammerd, "Th-there's no fuckin' bl-blood!"

"Huh? What do you mean no blood?" Hanja asked.

"I MEAN IDIOT THAT SHE'S NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE SHIT HEAD!" Zane shot his head over to Kyo.

"You…SHE DID IT WITH YOU DIDN'T SHE!" Zane leaned over Lele and slapped her over and over, "YOU FUCKING LITTLE WHORE! WHY'D YOU LET THIS FUCKING PUNK AND NOT ME! TWO DAMN FUCKING YEARS WITH ME AND I GET NOTHING BUT TEASING! But within 6 months you fuck him! Him! HHHIIIMMM!"

Kyo couldn't keep quiet any longer. More tears fell from his face as he yelled, "BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LOVE HER LIKE I DO ASSHOLE!"

"I told you to keep quiet! I'm not wasting anymore time! I may not have been able to have her virginity but I can still fuck her now!" Lele looked over to Kyo and saw his tears.

She thought, "He-He's crying for me….Kyo …. who hates tears….. is... crying for me!" Zane lifted Lele's legs and pushed them behind his back as he positioned himself to rape Lele. Kyo's eyes widened and his mouth opened to say something. But suddenly there was the sound of many footsteps upstairs. Everyone looked at the ceiling.

Zane ordered, "Hanja, see what's going on up stairs. Make sure Ken didn't let anyone in." Hanja nodded, pulled his pants back up and walked up the stairs.

Once the door closed Lele wrapped her legs around Zane's waist and yelled, "KYO! Get the knife!"

Zane struggled to get free, he yelled, "Hanja.. Hanja!"

Kyo rocked himself back and forth until he fell forward onto the floor. The metal chair folded up which gave let Kyo lift it over his head. Once it was in front of him, he ran towards the knife and picked it up began cutting the ropes. Zane punched Lele in her stomach. She gasped loudly and loosened her legs in pain. Zane ran and put his boxers on just as Kyo cut the last rope. Zane ran and tried to tackle him, but Kyo swung the chair and hit Zane off to the side. Zane fell against the washing machine in the corner and onto the floor. Kyo ran over to Lele and began cutting her hands free.

Zane groaned and stumbled to his feet.

"Kyo look out!" Lele yelled as she saw Zane coming for Kyo.

But it was too late; Zane wrapped his arms around Kyo's tightly. The knife slipped from Kyo's hand and onto the floor. Lele sat up and looked at them tussling. Kyo thrust his head backwards and hit Zane's head with his skull. Zane let go and grabbed his face. He looked up at Kyo with a blood dripping from his nose. He lunged at him again but Kyo ducked, Zane flew over him and onto the floor beside the bed. Zane struggled to get up again and noticed the knife was a few feet from him. Kyo saw Zane's glance and ran to get it before he did. They reached for it at the same time. Zane had it first when Kyo fell on top of him. The two rolled around on the floor. Kyo tried to move the knife from Zane, as Zane was trying to stab Kyo. "I can't keep this up! I'm getting dizzy from lossing so much blood!" Kyo yelled to himself. His hand slipped and the knife pierced into Kyo's shoulder. Kyo screamed in pain. Lele screamed in horror. Her screams we heard upstairs.

Zane wiggled the knife and laughed, "Gotcha!" Kyo lifted a leg crushing Zane's family jewels in the process. Zane eyes nearly popped of his head as the pain reached his brain. He turned over on to his back and held himself.

Kyo stood up, "I really hate to do that to a guy. But you're an exception. You're not even human!" Zane tired to stand again as Kyo took his guard up. Kyo shifted his weight to the side, lifted his left leg and kicked Zane with the bottom of his sneaker. Zane fell face first into the floor. Kyo pulled the knife out and went over to Lele. He cut the last of the ropes and suddenly, the door at the top of the stairs burst open and a cavalry of police men ran down the stairs. Tom was with them.

He called out to someone upstairs, "Hey I need a blanket down here!" Kyo walked over to Lele to try and cover her. An officer came down the stairs and handed Tom the blanket.

He called to Kyo, "Here catch!" and tossed the blanket to Kyo.

Kyo caught it and said, "Thanks."

"You did a good job!" Tom said and smiled. Kyo turned around and covered Lele. Zane was handcuffed and guided upstairs. Some officers stayed in the basement to take pictures and evidence to convict Zane, Hanja and Ken. Kyo and Lele headed upstairs with Tom and followed him outside.

When they reached the street, an ambulance waited for them. Lele waited for the doors to open. She looked across the street and saw a figure under one of the lights.

Lele squinted to see if she knew the person, "That person looks familiar."

"What'd you say Lele?" Kyo asked.

The doors opened and the stretcher came out. Lele lay down on the stretcher and she was carried into the back of the ambulance. Kyo sat in the back along side her and the door closed. Zane, Ken and Hanja were placed in different police cars and taken to the station. Lele was being given and IV when she started talking to Kyo, "Kyo, I love you. You saved me again tonight. This may sound corny, but you're my hero."

Kyo smiled at her, "I love you too."

Lele's eyes slowly closed. "Hey, you alright? Don't close your eyes, try to stay awake," the female paramedic said to Lele. But it was too late, Lele passed out.

When Lele woke up, she was lying on a hospital bed. She was surrounded by her friends, Nuni and her mother. Kyo was sitting on a bed next to her being bandaged.

"She's awake!" Tohru cheered.

Kyo looked over to her, "Lele, are you okay!"

"Sir please, we need to clean your head wound," a nurse said to Kyo and turned his head back towards her.

Mona was holding on to Lele hand, "Baby, do need anything?"

Lele smiled a bitand said softly, "No thank you mother. I'm just really tired."

Mona smiled as tears ran down her face, "Okay."

"We got a call from the police when you guys went missing," Nuni explained.

"What time is it?" Lele asked. Hatori looked up at the clock and said, "Almost midnight."

"The doctors want to run some tests on you and Kyo. To make sure you didn't suffer any head trauma from the crash. So you'll both be here for a day or two," Kagura said. After Kyo was finished being bandage he hopped off the bed and over to Lele. He grabbed her hand and held onto her.

Suddenly, another nurse entered the room, "Um, Lele there's someone here to see you." She stepped aside and a man walked in, it was Juno, her father.

He gasped at the site of his daugthers woundsand cried, "Lele!" He looked around and saw all the people who were there. "Mona, what happened and who are all these people?" Mona walked over to Juno.

She stood there in front of him for a moment before she answered, "Lele was attacked by her ex-boyfriend again. But this young man..." she pointed to Kyo, "...he rescued her. He's the same person who saved her the first time she was attacked at school. His name is Kyo."

Juno walked over to Kyo and shook his hand, "Well done boy. You have my deepest graditude. Please, if there's anything that you need, we are forever in your debt."

Lele softly said, "Daddy, do you mean that?"

"Of course I do…" Juno smiled, "he's a hero! He saved you life not once but twice!" Lele looked over to her mother and sister. They both nodded to her.

Lele spoke again, "Daddy, Kyo's a Soma."

Juno's smile fadedas helooked down at Lele, "What!"

Lele raised a hand and pointed, "So are Hatori, Shigure, Yuki, and Kagura. They are his family, my friends, and also Soma's..." she hresitiated for a moment before shecontnued,"Daddy, I'm in love with Kyo. We've been dating for over 6 months now." Juno coughed a little as his eyes widened.

"Juno, they are really nice people. They have been like family to our daughters. They aren't the kind of people you think they are," Mona said.

Juno dropped Kyo hand and looked at it. His face wrinkled up as he became angry, "Get out of my sight! All of you! I don't want you near by children again! Do you hear me!" But no one moved. Mona walked up to Juno and looked at him straight in the eyes. Herown watered as she raised a hand and slapped her husband.

She yelled at him, "THEY AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE! LISTEN TO YOURSELF JUNO!" she began to cry, "This has gone on too long. All of your bicker thoughts of the Soma family, your drinking, neglecting our children and only wanting them to do what pleases you! This isn't why we became a family! These people care more for Nuni and Lele more than you do! All you care about is money and booze! Well I'm sick of it! I want us to be a loving family! Like the oneNatsu has!"

Juno looked at her, "Natsu-"

"Yes I mean that Natsu. You've wasted 17 years of your life to beat her and her husband instead of being a husband andfather to your children! Kyo and Lele are in love! And you aren't going to get in the way of our baby's happiness anymore! You need to choose right now Juno. Yourgreed or us!"

Juno fell to his knees, "Have I really become that way?" He looked at his hands and envisioned the past...

The day he met Mona... their wedding day...the time Nuni was born...when shefed herself for the first time...her first jump...whenshe lost her first tooth. Then he thought of when Lele was born... her first word was "Dada"... when she learned her alphabet... the time she read her first book... the day she got lost in the office... he showed no concern... he then rememberd slapping her for getting a failing grade on a math test... telling Nuni she was a good-for-nothing when she decided to go into journalism...

"I held Nuni with those hands, hugged Mona, and carried Lele to her bed at night with these same hands. But I also hit, slapped and drank using these same hands. Wh-what have I... become! The Soma's... have shown my family more love than I have." He covered his face and cried, "I'm sorry Lele, Nuni and Mona. I'm a terrible person. Maybe if I was a better person to you all... none of this would have ever happened! I'm so sorry!"

Mona knelt down beside him and rubbed his back, "Juno, it isn't too late. You can still try to correct the past."

He looked over into Mona's eyes still crying," I will. I'll go to AA meetings and I'll even give Natsu a formal apology. Please forgive me!"

"I do Juno, but you have to ask Lele and Nuni also." Mona helped him off the floor.

He went over to Nuni and hugged her, "Nuni, please? I'm sorry I said becoming a journalist was a crime to our family. I really did enjoy reading some of your articles. I was just too stubborn to tell you!"

Nuni cried softly, "I forgive you daddy." He turned and looked at Lele.

She smiled, "I love you daddy. I'll also forgive you as long as you promise to change." Juno walked to Lele's over bed side and grabbed her hand, "I will, I promise. I'm sorry for what I've done to you Lele," he looked around the room," and I'm sorry to all of you." Everyone smiled at him.

Tohru fell to the floor crying, "Wahhh! I'm so happy!"

"Hatori was it? Might I have a word with you outside? It's about meeting your grandmother," Juno asked.

Hatori smiled, "Of course sir."

Everyone said good bye to Lele and Kyo for the night. The nurse came back in to check on Lele's IV and Kyo's bleeding. Then, at 1:00 am, the lights in the room dimmed. Kyo sat beside Lele in a chair by the window. His head bobbed as he began falling asleep.

Lele softly called to him, "Kyo wake up!" His head shot up and he rubbed his eyes, "Huh… uh yeah? You need something Lele?"

Lele smiled, "I wanted to talk to you about something." Kyo stood up, lifted the chair and placed it at Lele's side. He took a seat and rested his head on her thigh.

"Kyo, tonight you did something that you hate. But because of it, I now know that you truly do love me."

"Lele... I didn't have a choice. I didn't want to look but-"

Lele giggled, "It wasn't that Kyo. I saw you shed tears for me. You, Kyo Soma, who hates tears, cried for me, Lele Arai."

Kyo kissed Lele's hand and rubbed his face against, "It's because I love you. I was so angry at myself for not being able to do anything to help you."

"I love you too," Lele said and then yawned. Her eyes lids felt heavy as the closed them for the night. Kyo placed a hand on Lele's, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

A cool breeze entered the room. The curtain flapped wildly about. Diamonds stars filled the sapphire sky and the moon shone like a milky pearl. Cars drove away from the hospital and into the night. People and their children slept soundly in the houses surroundings the large building. Some adults stayed up to be merry or sad. But that night, she was loved. She was loved by her mother, father, sister, friends, and her boyfriend. Sometimes love can be right under your nose and you won't see it. Sometimes love can be right in front of your face and your eyes will be blind. And sometimes, love will find you. Hardship, failure, sadness, can sometimes be the things that cause love to come. No matter the situation you might be in, you can still find it or it can find you. And when you do or it does, that day you will be loved.


sobs WAAHHH! It's over... or is it? chuckles

Well, as for this part of the story it is. But alot of things we left unfinished. What will become of Yuki and Tohru? Will Kagura and Sonjo have a lasting relation ship, or will differences tear them apart! And who was the strange yet familiar person Lele saw?

Thanks again for reading and reviewing! And I've decided to do Red Moon first! Look for me under the same name.

She Will Be Loved: Itsumo! will come in September!
