WE do not own Fruits basket me and another girl are working on this yeah
She stands in the kitchen smiling her usual smile as she starts lunch humming softly as she did her hair falling past her shoulders as she boiled water for the rice as she made sandwiches making sure they were to the liking of each individual of the Sohma men of the household. As she moved the plate out of the way she slipped hitting the counter a glass tumbling to the side rolling down hitting the floor below shattering.
Kyou shivered hearing the shatter, he walked the rest of the way into the kitchen "You ok?" he asked slightly worried, Tohru was a natural kind hearted person and Kyou was rather fond of her, he walked to her side and started cleaning the glass.
She placed the plate of sandwiches on the table behind her as she grabbed the broom and dustpan. "I got it Kyou-kun." She spoke in her carefree tune as she placed the dustpan down as she went to sweep the small pieces in slowly.
Kyou shook his head sighing, he stepped back putting the pieces he had picked up with his hands in the trash, he turned to her and blinked "Where's the mutt and rat? I haven't heard them all morning..."
"I thought they were home." She swept the small pieces in throwing them away. "Sohma-kun isn't studying and Shugura isn't pretending to work on his novel?" She looked to Kyou before putting the dustpan and broom away.
Kyou shook his head "Nope…. I looked for both of them…. Their shoes are gone too.. Maybe they left a note around or something? I'll go look" He walked out of the kitchen rubbing his temples sighing softly.
She sighed sadly as she moved back to the sandwiches wrapping them up slowly so they wouldn't go bad so when the two return they could eat their meal. She moved back to the pot of boiling water only putting a little rice in since there would only be two eating.
Kyou walked into the kitchen with a note "seems they won't be back till late..." he shrugged handing her the note before walking to the kitchen door again.
"What do you want with your sandwich, I'm making sugar rice balls for dessert." She placed the note on the kitchen as she stirred the rice adding a little sugar to the water.
Kyou blinked "Uhh... Fish or chicken" he blushed a bit slowly walking out of the room, Being Around Tohru made Kyou feel uneasy and nervous.
She nodded lightly as she pulled out a pan as turning the stove on slowly as she went to the fridge pulling out a few pieces of sliced salmon heading back slide the slabs on the pan cooking them slowly.
Kyou sat at the table his head resting on it, there was nothing to do and he was well.. Bored. He yawned out then sighed looking at the open sliding door seeing it was raining. "I hate rain..." After a few minutes she returned with two plates both with same thing sandwiches cut in triangles his with slices of fish hers with salami, sugar rice balls, and only on his plate slices of salmon. Kyou looked up at her sniffing the air and smelling the fish he perked up a bit more smiling softly "Thanks."
She nodded lightly as she sat down slowly eating quietly her eyes looking to sky sadly. "I was hoping to eat watermelon later on the roof..."
Kyou blinked at her "Why not bring an umbrella? Or something? Fruits fun to eat in the rain… I did it a lot when I was training" he said before eating a bit of his sandwich.
"Yeah, but I didn't want you out in the rain I know how you feel about that rain we can eat on the porch so it won't be to bad for you." She smiled kindly at him she was caring about him still.
Kyou blinked at her then shrugged "What ever you like..." he continued eating his food, he loved fish it was one of his favorite foods, finishing his sandwich he licked his fingers lick a cat would.
She giggled softly as she looked to him eating her rice ball quietly. "You so funny Kyou-kun."
Kyou blinked then stopped licking his finger and started eating more of his food "Erm... thanks?"
She finished only half of her meal before getting up taking her plate. "So are you finished Kyou-kun can I take your plate?"
Kyou nodded finishing his food; he picked up his plate walking to the kitchen "I got it." She nodded lightly as she followed behind him making her way to the sink starting to wash the dishes she used to cook their meals with. Kyou stood beside her not sure of what else to do but to strike up a conversation "Ever think about taking up a fighting class or something? Incase you get attacked?…. I could teach you some things."
She nodded lightly. "Yeah do you want to clear out the living area and we can practice?" She continued to wash the dishes scrubbing them clean.
Kyou nodded walking out of the kitchen to the living room; he started moving things around to make room then sat on the floor waiting for Tohru. She placed the pans and dishes out to draw as she walked out into the living room she took the ribbon out of her hair tying her hair back into a ponytail so it wouldn't get in her way.
Kyou blinked at her then stood up taking off his shirt, he hated teaching fighting with a shirt on, it always got too hot too fast "First I'll teach ya how to punch... Like really punch…" She nodded lightly as she smiled trying to act tough getting into a fighting stance playfully.
Kyou blinked at her then shook his head, he walked to her and made her stance so she was more balanced and could move easily "you want to be able to move easy and still be able to block a few hits without falling over right? so stand on guard at all times" he took her hand and balled it up in a fist "Ever been pushed past happy.. Past mad?.. Ever have someone hurt you mentally so bad you just wanted to hurt him or her? Think about that and hit me in the gut."
Her eyes widen a bit as she looked to him sadly. "Kyou-kun I won't hurt you." She put her hands down unclenching her fist as she continued to look to him. "No one has ever made me mad enough to hurt them..."
Kyou sighed a bit "Tohru.. This is for your own good.. Besides you won't hurt me.. Not much can at this point… If you punch my gut when I tell you I can stop it from hurting" he reached over taking her hand "Its ok if no one's made you that mad... Just think of something depressing... Something that you could have changed.. ball that up into hate and punch me" he balled her hands into fist's again"
She looked to him sadly. "...Like you being locked away after you leave high school Kyou-kun..." She looked down slowly to his hand that held hers her grip tightening within his.
Kyou flinched a bit, he sighed then nodded "yea... But no one can do anything to stop that Tohru... Now punch me with all that hate."
She nodded lightly as she moved back to how he positioned her before she got frustrated she kept her fist balled as she got ready looking up to him sadly. "Are you ready Kyou-kun?" She spoke softly.
Kyou nodded watching her "yea... Give me all you got there kid." She nodded lightly as she moved toward him slamming her fist into his stomach as hard as she could slowly slipping losing her place from throwing her weight with her punch. Kyou winced falling back onto his butt and holding his stomach "Ow... that's... a lot of hate you got there.."
She stopped quickly looking down sadly. "I'm sorry Kyou-kun..." She reached down to him slowly.
Kyou blinked at her them smiled softly "no need to be sorry, I never felt that much pain since I was a kid! That was great!" he got up with her help "Now that you got punching down to the ace lets try kicking, this time I'll block your kicks ok?... You might want to put wants or something on just if your uncomfortable" She nodded lightly as she moved up heading up the steps to her room pulling out the pants Yuki had given her when he and Shugura had found her living outside in a tint she slide them on along with a white tank top soon heading back down the steps to where Kyou was waiting for her.
Kyou looked at her then smiled "how high can you kick?" he loved teaching people about defending themselves it always made him feel like he was needed
"I am not sure I tried to dance when I was little... That didn't go well I hurt a lot of people." She looked down slowly.
Kyou blinked then nodded "I want you to kick me anywhere... Or since you don't want to hurt me touch your toes the highest you can on me all right? I'm going to try and teach you the high kick"
She nodded lightly. "I am ready when you are Kyou-kun." She braced herself feet ready to kick.
Kyou nodded "try to kick my neck or higher.. I'll catch your foot before you hit me" She nodded lightly as she moved toward him lifting her leg as high and as hard as she could.
Kyou caught her leg then blinked "Ah not to bad... you got up to my shoulder… Ok now imagine I'm... One of those Yuki fan girls at school, And I'm threatening to beat you up, kick me as hard as you can" he leg her leg go then waited. She nodded lightly once more as she moved at him quicker her leg straitening out more as she went at him.
Kyou caught her leg then blinked "If I didn't catch that I would have lost a few teeth.. Not bad your a natural at this" he let her leg go then blinked "If a man is coming at you do you know where are the three most important places to hit him?"
She blushed a dark red as she looked down slowly nodding. "Between the leg, the face, and the feet."
Kyou nodded "good and one more area" he reached over placing the tips of his fingers on her throat "the throat… kick it hard then run... It cuts off the air and slows him down... Show me your way of attacking if I was an attacker... try to get me down Tohru" he stalked up to her.
She backs away from him slowly as she made her way into the kitchen grabbing a frying pan that was hanging down.
Kyou sighed rubbing his eyes " no, I mean with punches and kicks Tohru.. say we're in an ally or its late on the streets and you have nothing to attack me with but your fists and feet.. "
"Oh..." She let out a low giggle as she hung it back up as she moved back to the living room clenching her fist bracing herself. Kyou chuckled shaking his head he stalked to her then reached out to grab her wrists. Moves her hand out of his reach as she lifted her leg aiming directly at his throat.
Kyou caught her knee and pulled her close "Make the moves fast and unseeable or he'll catch ya and it'll be over try again" he let her go and walked back, he looked at her before stalking to her again. She watched him carefully as she moved back toward him her eyes moving slowly to his neck once more staying placed on the spot as she ran at him aiming below the belt. Kyou yelped jumping back before she hit him "Wow.. Alright now we got that down... that's good" he grabbed her wrists "try and get lose" he held them tight pulling her close but not close enough to change into a cat. She closed her eyes tilting her head as she giggled blushing her knee going up but not enough to damage him to badly.
Kyou winced falling onto his knees and pulling her under him "No... Don't knee a man there if he has a good hold on your wrists... When he heals it gets him more mad… and he might just kill you once done... If he has your wrists... You kick his throat or knee it hell head butt it if you have too,"
She nodded lightly looking down to him sadly. "...Kyou-kun...Are you mad at me now because I didn't do it right?" She looked to him sadly.
"No you where going on what you thought you where to do, that's fine really." he got up "Ok try again."
She nodded lightly. "Why don't we take a break I'll go get you some ice for that thing I probably broke."
Kyou blinked at her letting her go "What thing?"
Looks down toward his pants blushing a dark red. Kyou blinked "Um.. It's fine you didn't hurt me much there "He blushed a deep red "and you can't break it.. It's not a bone. Ice would be nice though." She nodded lightly as she moved into the kitchen grabbing a bag filling it with cubed ice returning him slowly blushing as she handed it over to him.
Kyou blushed taking the ice "thanks" he said before sitting on the couch and laying the bag between his legs wincing slightly "You got one hell of a kick there..."
She continued to blush madly. "...I'm sorry I hurt you Kyou-kun I wasn't meaning to I swear..." She felt really bad now seeing him still in pain.
Kyou nodded laying his head to rest on the back of the couch "Its ok just try not thinking about it" he looked at Tohru "If you do ever use this on a man.. your not gonna be apologizing to him are you?" he asked jokingly
She shook her head quickly. "Of coarse not that would be showing weakness to the enemy."
Kyou smiled then nodded "Good" he looked at her then blinked "I won't bite you can sit down if you like" She knelt down beside him looking up to him lightly.
Kyou blinked blushing "what?..." he looked down at her
She shook her. "Nothing..." She blushed lightly as she looked down slowly.
Kyou blushed then moved the bag off him "Alright care to keep practicing?"
She nodded lightly. "I think I'd better wait so I don't get to over whelmed.
Kyou chuckled then nodded "Hai hai Alright then" he held out his hand for her "How about we go sit on the porch?"
She nodded lightly taking his hand. "I'll go cut up the watermelon then..."
Kyou helped her up then lead her to the kitchen "Alright i'll help if you need it"
"I think I have it just go wait for me on the porch." Kyou nodded letting her hand go and walking to the porch, he sat down watching the rain and sighed laying back his eyes closed.
She returned to him shortly with a plate full of sliced watermelon."
Kyou cracked an eye open watching her, he looked out at the rain and wet yard "Its actually really pretty..." She nodded lightly as she sat beside him placing the slices between them. Kyou sat up then looked at her, he bit his lip before grabbing a slice and nibbling on it watching the rain. Kyou laid back still nibbling on the fruit his eyes closed "your really good at fighting you know..."
Kyou stopped eating then sighed a bit "Tohru... Why do you care for us all so much?"
"Because you take care of me and you're my friends." She smiled kindly taking another bite.
Kyou blinked looking at her, he shrugged then went back to watching the rain
"Do you not want me around Kyou-kun?"
Kyou blinked at her "I do but.. I hate how angry you got knowing I was going in the age after high school..."
She looked down slowly. "...Your my friend I don't want to loose you..."
Kyou shrugged "I understand but... you have to…. It's where I'm going and nothing can stop that"
"I will."
Kyou nodded "Good" he sat up stretching.
Tohru looked to him smiling. "Then lets run."
