Disclaimer: I dont own Fruits Basket. Nope. (but i wish i did...)

"I...I cant..." Tohru whispers softly. "Kyo-kun i cant..." Kyo was now really worried. "You...You cant what Tohru? Whats wrong? Please tell me Tohru."

Tohru placed her hand on his cheek. "huh." Kyo's eyes widen at the reaction of her hand. "I...Kyo-kun...I..." was what she said. He placed his hand over the hand she had on his cheek. "Tohru..." He gently held her other hand up to his mouth, and kissed it. This made her blush. But she didnt know what this feeling was. Had she thought of Kyo as more than a friend? How can that be? She always thought of him as a brother, but this feeling...this feeling was...different. Could it be that this is...L...Lo--. "MISS HONDA!"

Kyo and Tohru looked up to see Yuki in shock of their position. They backed away from eachother

. "uhm...uh..y-yes Yuki...?" she said without looking at him.

"did I uh...interrupt something...?" Yuki said.

"uhm! no! we were just uh...talking." Tohru corrected.

Kyo then got up angrily and said, "you damn rat." and then he walked outside, up to the roof.

"..." was Yuki's response.

"uhm. what was it you wanted to tell me Yuki?" Tohru wondered.

"oh. yeah. you'd never guess how lucky I am. do you know what happened today!" Yuki excitedly questioned her.

"uhm...uh...no..." Tohru mumbled evn though she knew, and painfully thought. She didnt wanna hear it.

"I asked-!"

"Leave her alone you damn rat!" Kyo interrupted. "She's upset right now!"

Yuki looked at Tohru worriedly. "Miss Honda?"

"oh. well uhm...its nothing... i'm just going to go up to my room now okay?" Then. She smiles.

"take it easy, okay Miss Honda?" Yuki says.

"I will Yuki." Then she walked slowly up to her room.

She always does that. She pretends that everything is alright when it isnt. And she knows it. All she does is care about other people's feelings. she never cares about her own. And she needs to learn how. I'm going to be the one to teach her. And while i'm on it, i'm going to help her forget about that damn rat. Tohru shouldnt be a person that experiences the pain to be abandoned like that. I'm gonna be the person to help her with that too...

Tohru couldnt sleep that night. She was thinking of both Yuki and Kyo. 'how come Yuki doesnt love me? i thought that he did...' was one thought. 'what just happened today with me and Kyo?' was another. She tossed and turned so much. Then, giving up, she got out of bed and walked downstairs silently to get a drink of water. When she was down there, she heard a rustling noise. She looked around not knowing what it was. The sound came from outside. Then, an idea popped up. 'Maybe Kyo is still awake.' She went outside to find out what it was. She was right. It was Kyo, but, he wasnt awake. Tohru watched him move around so much. She went back down the ladder to fetch a blanket. When she put the blanket on the shivering Kyo, she realized something. 'Kyo-kun is very...cute...when he's sleeping...' Tohru sat next to him for a while to gaze at the stars. She closed her eyes and smiled, reminiscing what Kyo said earlier today.

"Tohru...i love you so much. I want to be with you...always...I want to stay with you forever...To take care of you...I want to be your strength. Because...you were the first girl that...that...cared so much about me...I... love you Tohru Honda..."

When she opened her eyes she noticed that Kyo was awake now.

"oh! uhm! Kyo-kun! I uh...! uhm!" was the words that came out of her mouth. Kyo held her chin, which made Tohru blush.

"shhh.." was what Kyo said in response. Tohru looked deeply into Kyo's crimson red eyes.

'They were so beautiful' was a thought in her head.'Could it be that...I'm...in love with...Kyo-kun...?

The two were already so close to eachother, their noses were touching. "Kyo-kun..." He looked at her and thought to himself, 'do i really wanna do this? what if she's still in love with that damn rat? Then it would pain her to pick. I dont know...'

He let go of her chin and looked away blushing. Tohru looked down. "th-thanks..." Kyo murmured ever so quietly. Tohru looked at him in confusion. "i mean...for the blanket..." Tohru smiled. "oh. of course." she said shyly. The awkward silence was getting so annoying. 'Kyo-kun. say something!' was what Tohru was thinking.

"uhm...hey Tohru." Kyo said.

Tohru looked at him. "what is it..?" Kyo looked at her.

"Today...when that damn rat came home, i told him to leave you alone cuz i knew it would pain you to hear what happened again..." Kyo said.

Tohru nodded. "yeah. i know..."

"Then you said it was nothing, and you pretended to smile." Kyo mentioned.

Tohru nodded and looked down.

"Why? when you know it hurts you. You should have said something to him." Kyo asked.

Tohru looked at Kyo.

"Why?" Kyo asked another time.

"something...something distracted me." Tohru looked at Kyo painfully.

Kyo looked at her, and put part of the blanket on her. "what..did...?"

Tohru looked up at him and whispered as a tear flowed down her face. "you."

He looked at her in confusion. "me...?"

"Kyo...i was awake...awake when you...told me..." Tohru whispered as she blushed.

Kyo was so embarrassed. His blush was so red that it matched his eyes. "Y-You were..?"
