Okay, this is a song-fic series type thing. And it's about my favorite couple, Kyoru. This first one is basically about how Kyo can't tell Tohru how he feels about her. For this chapter, I'm using Sarah McLachlan's "I Love You".
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. I do not own Sarah McLachlan's "I Love You". But I do own her name! (My name's Sarah also)
I have a smile stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the street
Kyo looked out the window to see Tohru walking down the street from school with his worst enemy, Yuki. He was stuck inside with the worst of colds (I don't know about your school, but if you have a cold, they won't let you in). He knew that Tohru would freak, but he couldn't resist. He grabbed his coat and ran outside to greet her. "Kyo-kun, what are you doing outside? Your cold's going to get worst! Did you find the lunch I left you?" But Kyo didn't reply, he could only look at her. He didn't think about everything around him, just her.
We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
The whole world around us disappears
"Don't worry about that baka neko, he's too stupid to worry about." Yuki said. Kyo suddenly came out of his trance and eyed Yuki. "Damn rat! You might want to shut up before I make you!" he yelled, obviously loosing his temper. "Like you could ever beat me. You've tried before." (I'm really making Yuki sound like a jerk, aren't I!) Kyo went to punch him in the face, but Yuki caught his punch and kicked him in the stomach. Kyo flew to the ground. He slowly got up and walked into the house.
When Tohru and Yuki got inside, Tohru walked up to Kyo's room and slowly opened the door. "Kyo-kun?" she questioned. "Are you okay?" she went over to sit beside him at the mini table by the window (If you have one, you'll know what I'm talking about). "I'm fine." he replied sternly. "Do you need some more soup? I can make some more if you would like."she said. Kyo nodded and she walked downstairs.
A little while later, Tohru came back to his room and sat the bowl on the table in front of him. She sat down on the other seat across from him. "What's been up with you lately? You've been acting very strange, and I know it's not the cold." she said. "HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S NOT THE COLD?" he yelled. She was taken back by his response. "Because, it started at least a week before your cold. And, now that I think about it. I don't think it's the cold. You've obviously been stressing yourself too much over something. Now, why don't you tell me what's wrong. Maybe I could help." Tohru said. Kyo lowered his head. "I've just been so pissed about Yuki and I've been trying to beat him but instead, he always seems to beat me! It drives me insane!" he said. He couldn't tell her what was also lingering in his mind. He was afraid of what she would think. What if she rejected him?
It's just you and me
On my island of hope
Let me surround you
My sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek
"Well, I'm sure you'll beat him someday. And even though I'm against this whole fight, I've noticed that Yuki-kun's been getting sicker. possibly cold. And, since you're letting me know everything that's been bothering you, instead of building it up inside, which is the reason why you're sick, maybe you could beat him then. I'm going to go downstairs and start dinner, call me if you need anything."
Oh but every time I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
"DAMMIT! Why can't I just tell her?" he yelled, yet kept it so that Tohru wouldn't hear and comin running up, wondering what was wrong. What could he say? There's no way he could just say, "Oh, hey Tohru, I was just yelling my head off because I can't tell you that I love you." No, that wouldn't work.
And I forgot
To tell you
I love you
And the night's
Too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say I love you so
A few hours later, Tohru came into his room and tapped him on his shoulder, seeing he was thinking deeply about something. "Kyo-kun, would like to come down for dinner, or eat up here." Tohru said softly. "I'll eat up here. But hey, can we talk?" Kyo asked. "Umm...okay, what do we need to talk about?" she asked. Oh no, did he just say he wanted to talk? What would get him out of this? "Umm...what's for dinner?" he asked. It was the last thing he could think of. "Oh, you're having your favorite, salmon." she replied with a smile. God, how he loved her smile. "Okay, be right back."
Oh, but every time I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away
A few minutes later, after giving Yuki and Shigure their dinner, Tohru walked back up the stairs. When she handed him his food. "I'll be up to get your dish after dinner, or you could come down and put it in the sink yourself." she said, walking to the bedroom door. "Could you come up and get it for me, I'm still not feeling so well." said Kyo, taking a bite of his salmon. "Of course. I'll be up in thirty minutes."
While she was downstairs, he decided to tell her. I might as well, not going to get any better without telling her, her thought. Thrity minutes later, Tohru come up, smiling as she always does. "Hey Tohru, can we talk?" Kyo asked, starting to sweat. "Sure, what's on your mind, Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked, sitting down with Kyo. "Umm...nevermind...forget I said anything." he said. "Okay, but if you every want to talk, I'll listen, don't forget that." she said. Kyo hung is head low, disappointed in his actions. Why can't I tell her god dammit! Why can't I tell her that I love her! he thought. He knew that he was going to tell her someday.
And I forgot
To tell you
I love you
And the night's
Too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say I need you so
Okay, that's chapter one! I don't think the lyrics are right and I can't get my ipod at the moment because it's in my mom's bedroom and she hates it when I wake her up(I'm typing this at night since I'm supposed to be grounded until my next guitar gig (which I don't think is any time soon). So...yeah.
