Short chapter.. sorry. Well, I've got some hits at least! No reviews.. uh.. I'm thinking that's bad. No one likes my story! Well.. I was thinking about it a lot, and I was going to take it off, too, because I totally hate the beginning now.. but I couldn't think of anything else to write! And I was going to get one of my friends to help me rewrite the beginning.. but.. none of my friends really read fruits basket.. except one, and she hasn't read much of it.. so that doesn't help. Oh well.. I guess I'll try to fix it on my own.
"Tohru, I.. I love you."
Tohru was blown away. Was he serious? She had only heard that from a few people. One, from her mom, and the other two from Hana-chan and Uo-chan, but that was more of a family way. For some reason, maybe by the way he was so nervous, and how he was blushing, it gave away that he meant he loved her in a different way that those three did. She was at a loss for words. Her face was flushed, even more then Kyo's was.
Kyo suddenly regretted telling her. 'I should have known this would happen! Damnit! Why the hell did I ever think she could like a monster like me!'
Yuki had heard everything. He, too, was shocked. Though he always knew Kyo felt something for her, he never thought that that dumb cat would tell her. His heart felt a bit sunken, afraid that she may feel the same, and he would never be able to tell her how he himself felt. He knew he couldn't intrude now, which he regretted for not doing in the first place,for he had to hear how she would respond.
"I'm.. I'm sorry, Kyo-kun. We should get back to Shigure-san's house. He might.. He might be worried." She said, rather quietly. She looked to the ground, her bangs falling over her eyes. She started walking across the street, not even looking if a car was coming. Kyo's face filled with despair. Was she rejecting him? 'Obviously..' he thought to himself. He started walking after her, when he heard the blaring of a horn and screeching. His head jerked up to see a bus coming straight toward Tohru. It had started to break, but the streets were still drenched with puddles from the rain that ended just a few hours ago, and it was still sliding straight towards her.
"Tohru!" Kyo yelled. Tohru was so lost in thought, she couldn't even hear the commotion coming right at her. But once she heard Kyo's voice, she was pulled from her trance-like state. She stopped and turned her head, only to see a bus comingstraight at her. She couldn't move, her legs were glued in place from shock. All of a sudden, she felt two hands against her back, pushing her out of harms way. She heard a loud bang, but could not comprehend what it was, because just as she fell to the ground, her head banged against the edge of the cement sidewalk, and she was knocked out instantly.
Yuki had run to the place where Kyo had just made his confession to Tohru. He saw the sight before him, in front of his own eyes, but could not do anything. Right before Tohru was hit by the bus, Kyo had pushed her out of the way, and was hit himself. Though it did not seem he was hit very hard, because the bus had slowed down, it was hard enough to do some good damage, or so he thought.. But still, he felt helpless, because he could have done something. He could have been the one to save her. He saw Tohru hit her head, and lay there motionless. "Honda-san!" He yelled out, and ran over to her, completely ignoring the cat, who was being surrounded by a mass of people. "Honda-san..! Honda-san! Wake up!" He lifted her head from the sidewalk, and noticed she was starting to bleed a little. His eyesfilled with despair.Sirens blasted off in the distance. 'Good.. someone called the ambulance.' He sighed with relief, yet was stillsunken with worry and regret.
Oh.. poor Kyo! kind of typical though.. after I thought of this.. (I wrote the story like a week ago) I started looking at some other furuba fanfictions.. and they had car crashes too. I didn't steal the idea from them, I swear! and then.. I didn't even start to write the ending yet.. but I knew what it was going to be.. then I find a furuba with close to the same ending I was going to use! How unfair! whines oh well.. I guess I'll have to change it.
