School was just ending. The rain had stopped from earlier today. Kyo was standing outside, waiting for Tohru, while she walked with Uo and Hana, talking and laughing about something unknown to him. When they approached, they could hear what they were talking about.

"So, you don't have to work during the weekend, right?" said the blonde-haired Yankee girl.

"Yes! I have it off! Maybe we should all do something together! Oh, but I'd have to ask Shigure-san first…" Tohru smiled, which wasn't a surprise. She was always smiling, which was good, but sometimes she held her feelings back. Kyo knew this best of all.

"Yes, that would be… nice," Hanajima said. Her hair was back in its usual braid, but something about her wasn't right. She looked almost worried.

"I'll call you guys later!" She exclaimed. She gave them a warm smile, then ran over to Kyo, who had been waiting for her. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Kyo-kun."

"Let's just go," he grunted. The two walked off, but Hanajima and Uotani were still watching them.

"I do hope Tohru will be okay… I have this feeling-"

"Ah, she'll be okay. She's got orangey to look after her." Uo cut off. She continued walking, Hana soon following after her.

"Where's that damn rat?" Kyo asked, finally noticing that they two were alone together.

"Oh, he's at a Student Council meeting. He should be back for dinner," she said, her usual happy self. Kyo just grunted. After that, there was only silence between them for most of the way. Finally, Kyo spoke up.

"Tohru..?" Kyo said, just above a whisper.

Tohru stopped to face her friend. "Yes, Kyo-kun?" She smiled happily, completely oblivious to what he was about to reveal to her.

'That smile..' Her simple, cheerful smile triggered the dream to flash in his mind once again. He could barely remember the first part of the dream, even though he had it every night. All he remembered of it, was a man, with an evil grin, but it didn't really bother him. In the second part, it was dark. Everywhere he turned it was pure black. A light suddenly flashed from nowhere, and Tohru appeared. Tohru was the light. She was smiling, as always. "Aishiteru, Kyo-kun!" In his dream, he was shocked, but smiled back at her. He wished this dream would be real, and in a way, it was. Tohru had always been the light for him. Ever since the day he heard those words, "I mean, I could never be mad at you. How could I be? I love you! I've always loved the cat from the zodiac!" it slowly started to change him, for the better.Although she didn't mean it in the way that he wanted to tell her right now, it was still more meaningful to him then anything anyone had ever said to him. He wanted her to say those words again, but this time, really mean it. He knew it may never happen though, unless maybe he told her, and she felt the same way. 'Damn,' he thought. 'This is not like me at all.'

"Um.. Kyo-kun?" Her innocent voice snapped him back from his flashback. He looked down at her. It was now or never. He didn't know if they'd have another time alone like this or not. It was his moment of truth.

But what he didn't suspect, two sets of eyes were on them, watching, listening to their every move, their every word.


Yuki had got off from his last Student Council meeting until after the weekend, early. On his walk home, he saw Honda-san and that idiot cat walking together. He ran to catch up with them. Just as he was about to turn a corner, he heard their voices. He stopped, and peered around the corner to see them having stopped.

"There's something I have to tell you.." Kyo said.

Yuki debated whether he should interrupt, or just wait until their finished. As much as he hated that dumb cat, and as much as it was not like him to spy, he wanted to know what he was going to say, so he just stood there.


Across the road, leaning against a telephone pole casually, another set of eyes was upon the two. His eyes were filled with hate, as if someone had done something to offend him. It must have been from years of following the orders of a truly evil woman. He spotted Yuki, but to all three of them, his eavesdropping went unnoticed.


"This is.. kind of hard to say.." Kyo's face turned a crimson color, almost matching his eyes. He couldn't even look her in the eyes. Tohru, on the other hand, was not smiling, but had a rather worried and somewhat confused look on her face.

"You can tell me anything, Kyo-kun!" She noticed his blush, but didn't think much of it.

"Tohru, I.." He paused, looking deep into her eyes, his face still flushed. "I-I.. love you."


Yeah, so, well, sorry for the cliffie. Maybe you can all guess her reaction? The part where Tohru said "I've always loved the cat from the zodiac!" was from volume one. I really don't think that was a spoiler, because why would you be reading this fanfiction if you haven't read the first volume of Fruits Basket! Because it wouldn't really make sense.. Oh, and sorry about it mostly being Kyo and Tohru.. well, there the main characters of this story.. because well.. I'm not a real big fan of Yuki, .. sorry Yuki-fans! I promise though, you'll see a lot more characters soon!
