Hi people! I'm writing this in class on the last day of school. We didn't have a teacher in second hour! (10 minutes of class actually)
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket.
The weekend, surprisingly, was pretty normal. At school, no one talked about Friday night. Hana couldn't take it anymore. "Well?" she said at lunch.
"Well what?" Uo asked, confused.
"Well, what happened Friday?" Hana answered.
"Nothing, what did you expect?" Uo said, raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing really," Hana said, a little disappointed.
"Oh! How's your family?" Tohru asked.
"Huh?" Hana said, confused.
"On Friday, you said that you had family matters so you couldn't go with us," Tohru explained.
"You didn't really have family matters, did you?" Uo pried.
"I can't lie to you guys anymore. No, I was setting you up," Hana confessed.
"So what did you do that night?" Uo asked.
Hana remembered the kiss and the guy and blushed. "Nothing special," Hana answered. I don't want them to know just yet. She thought.
"Ok, if you say so," Uo said, seeing Hana blush. (Haha. They're all lying.) During class, Uo sat behind Kyo and to the right of him. She kept staring at him. I can't lie to myself anymore. I'm in love with Kyo. How can I go out with him as a date? She kept thinking about this, but at the end of class, she still had no solution.
Hana couldn't stop thinking about Akito. I've only known him for two days, having talked to him for only a few hours. I want to see him again, but how? He probably hates me. She thought as she walked out of class. When she was leaving the school, she saw him at the school gate. He saw her and waved. Hana cautiously walked over to him. "I'm sorry for leaving you without a proper good-bye," Hana apologized.
"It's ok. I took that as you wanted to see me again," Akito smiled. ( cheesy?) "I didn't remember your address so I figured you came here to school, since you knew Yuki and Kyo, so I waited here to see you again."
How can he act so calmly and coolly after what I did to him? "That's very nice of you," Hana replied nervously. "I'm sorry, but today, I have a lot of homework. I have to get home as soon as possible."
"Allow me to walk you home again," Akito smiled. Hana blushed and nodded.
Kyo, Tohru, and Yuki all walked home together for once. Yuki did not have a student council meeting, and Tohru did not have work. Their walk home was really quiet. Tohru and Yuki did not talk to each other, embarrassed by their close encounter of a kiss. Yuki was mad at Kyo far barging in when he did. Tohru wasn't really mad at him, but didn't really want to talk to him either. Kyo, being impatient and on who hid his true feelings finally couldn't take the silence.
"So, didn't you guys think Friday was fun?" he said.
"Oh, umm yeah," Tohru said.
"I agree," Yuki replied.
"Maybe we could go out again with Hana, too, this Friday," Kyo suggested.
"Sorry, I have to work," Tohru said.
"I'm not going anywhere with you," Yuki cruelly replied. "Unless Miss Honda is there," He turned and said sweetly to Tohru.
"Oh," Kyo said, a little disappointed. "I understand."
Tohru felt bad for Kyo. I'll ask Hana and Uo if they'd go with him. He seemed to want to go with them too. Tohru decided. The three reached home and went to their rooms due to their huge load of homework.
Hana and Akito reached Hana's house. They were talking like last time, but Hana was more nervous. What does she have to be so nervous about? Was it about last time? Akito thought. "Relax Hana-chan," he said.
"I'm sorry. It's just that I'm afraid…" her voice trailed off.
"Afraid about what? I'm not going to hurt you or anything," Akito answer. That's a first. How can I do that thought?
I've told him everything so far, and he hasn't done anything bad. Hana thought. "I'm, I'm afraid that you hate me for running away" Hana answered.
"I don't hate you," Akito said. What am I saying? I hate everybody.
He doesn't hate me! He's so sweet and nice. What am I saying? I don't think about this stuff. Hana thought. "Umm, since I'm loaded with homework today and probably for the rest of the week, how about we got together this Friday? Meet me at the park at 4:00?" she suggested.
"Ok, that'll be great," Akito agreed. "See you then," and he left.
Hana went inside and sighed. I think this it a date! She thought as she walked to her room.
The next day at school, Tohru asked Uo and Hana if they'd go out with Kyo on Friday.
"Sure," Uo said," but why can't you go?"
"I have to work, remember?" Tohru replied.
"That's right," Uo said.
"Sorry, but I've already made plans," Hana apologized.
"You're not trying to set us up again, are you?" Uo questioned.
"No, I really made plans. I'm going out with a friend," Hana protested. Did I just call Akito my friend?
"Who's this friend of yours? Is it someone we know?" Uo pried.
"Umm, Yuki and Kyo know him," Hana sheepishly said.
"Him? Sot it's a guy. Well, what's his name?" Uo teased.
"Uo, you shouldn't pry at people's private lives," Tohru said.
"It's ok. She wouldn't know him. His name's Akito, and he's related to them," Hana said as she pointed to Kyo and Yuki.
"Akito?" Tohru said in disbelief.
"Yeah. He's nice. Why? Do you know him?" Hana said.
"Only a little," Tohru replied.
"Oh, well, that's why I can't go. Uo, you should still go though," Hana said.
"Fine, whatever," Uo said. This time it can be an actual date.
"Ok, I'll go tell him," Tohru said and walked over to Kyo.
"Looks like we're both going on a date," Hana said.
"Yeah," Uo said, thinking about what to wear.
"Kyo, guess what," Tohru said when she reached him.
"What?" Kyo asked uninterested.
"Hana can't go out with you and Uo-" Tohru said but was cut off.
"What do you mean me and Uo?" Kyo said.
"Well, you know, yesterday, you seemed disappointed that Yuki and I couldn't go out with you on Friday," Tohru explained," so I asked Uo and Hana if they wanted to go. Hana couldn't go because she already made plans, but Uo said she'd go."
This is going to be like a date1 Kyo thought. "That's ok then," he said.
"What's going on?" Yuki said, coming up behind Tohru.
"I'm just telling Kyo that Uo can go with him on Friday, but Hana can't," Tohru explained.
"Ok, ok," Yuki said. "Why can't Hana-chan go?"
She already made planed to go out with," Tohru paused. I shouldn't say Akito. "someone," she finished..
Kyo and Yuki raised their eyebrows at each other at Tohru's pause. "Do you know who it is?" Kyo grinned.
Tohru looked down and said," Yes." I can't lie to them.
"Well, who is it?" Yuki wondered.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Tohru said.
"Yea, tell us already," Kyo ordered.
"You're not going to like this, but it's Akito," Tohru quickly said.
"Akito!" Kyo and Yuki shouted. "Why would anyone go out with a guy like that?"
"Umm, well, she said that he was nice," Tohru replied.
"Akito, nice?" Kyo laughed.
"This isn't funny. Hana-chan could get seriously hurt," Yuki said as he started walking towards Hana.
Hana noticed Yuki walking towards her and said, "Hello Yuki."
"Hana-chan, you shouldn't go out with Akito," Yuki said.
"And why not?" Hana questioned.
"Because he's a cold-hearted sleazebag," Yuki said.
"No he's not. He's sweet and nice. Besides, who said you can tell me who not to go out with?" Hana yelled. Now the class was silent and looking at them.
"What's going on?" "Does Yuki like Hana?" "I think so." Whispers went throughout the class.
"That's not it," Yuki protested. "It's not like that."
"Yeah, we're just friends," Hana explained, but the whispers kept happening.
"Shut up or this it you!" Kyo said as he punched a desk. Why did I just stand up for Yuki? Not, that was for Hana. Yeah, for Hana. He thought. Everyone quieted down. The bell rang, and class started. No one dared talk about it after school for fear of Kyo. Hana avoided Yuki who tried to convince her out of going out with Akito. This went on for the rest of the week until Friday finally came.
There, that one took longer than usual to write, and school had let out. Oh well. Please review!
