(We do not own Fruits Basket)
Kyou blinked looking at her "what?"
"If we run then you won't have to be put away."
Kyou shivered "You know what your asking!"
"...For you to go in the rain."
Kyou shook his head "I mean…. You're asking to disobey Akito's commands!"
She looked down sadly. "...If we don't try how will we ever know."
Kyou placed a hand on her cheek "Don't get in trouble for me Tohru..
She smiled. "I don't mind."
Kyou shook his head "No…. the answer is no Tohru" She looked down sadly.
Kyou sighed, "I don't want you hurt…"
"... You've hurt me before and I stayed by your side."
Kyou shook his head "I know but... I can't let you..."
"Kyou-kun I don't want to loose you..."
Kyou smiled at her "Its ok.. I'm sure Shugura will let you visit me"
"...Kyou-kun I know I wouldn't be able to... Don't lie to me..."
Kyou shivered "Why.. Why do you want me not to go in the cage?"
"...Cause your a kind person..."
Kyou snorted "right" She looked down slowly as she stood walking inside sliding the door closed as she made her way up the stairs. Kyou lowered his head looking away; he stood up walking out into the rain wanting to go on the roof. She lays quietly on her bed her pillow over her head trying to drown out any sound. Kyou climbed up onto the roof closing his eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks soaking into the sheets. Kyou stayed on the roof in the rain all day and most of the night
She climbed up the ladder during the night soaking wet as she had been looking for him. "...Kyou-kun..." Kyou looked at her then sat up shaking what water he could off his head then blinked. She struggled walking to him loosing her balance a few times because of how wet the roof had gotten.
Kyou reached over taking her wrist he helped her "What are you doing out in the rain?"
"... You had me worried you didn't come in for dinner..." She looked to him sadly.
Kyou sighed sadly "Gomen... I got lost in thought…" She sat down slowly looking down.
Kyou sat beside her then took off his shirt putting it over her head "To keep you at least the bittest dry..."
"...Kyou-kun... Please don't..." She kept her eyes away from his she was soaking wet now.
Kyou shivered "Do you really... Want to run away…"
"... I will do anything... to keep you safe Kyou-kun..."
Kyou shivered reaching over and running a hand through her hair "what about the others?.. Your friends?.. Family.. All of it.. I'll leave.. I'll run away.. You stay here"
She shook her head slowly. "I will not let you do this alone..."
Kyou blushed a bit "Why... Tohru.. You have so much to look forward too.."
"Your safety is more important to me..."
Kyou shivered looking at her "It shouldn't be.." She looked to him sadly.
Kyou blushed leaning over slowly to kiss her but stopped, he pulled away looking down at the yard. "...Lets go inside and pack our things Kyou-kun." She stood slowly trying to keep balance only to slip sliding down grabbing the rain gutter quickly. Kyou jumped up grabbing her wrist he went to pull her up, he slipped falling he pulled her close before they hit the ground rather hard she was landed on top of him
She struggled getting up off of him as quickly as she could her eyes looking down to him sadly. "...Kyou-kun..." Kyou turned into a cat soon after hitting the ground though he was out cold
She picked him up quickly taking him into the housing grabbing a blanket quickly wrapping it around him quickly trying to draw him off.
Kyou shivered opening his eyes slowly "My… Back..."
"...Kyou-kun I'm sorry..." Tears rolled down her pale cheeks as she struggled to warm his frail body up.
Kyou snuggled close to her heat "Its.. ok.. really.. are you ok?"
She nodded sadly. "...Thank you Kyou-kun..." Kyou smiled softly closing his eyes
"... I'm sorry I hurt you..."
Kyou shook his head "You didn't.."
"...Why did you say my back then? "
Kyou shivered "Its hurts.. Really bad..."
"...What do you want me to do Kyou-kun I don't want to put ice on it your still very wet from the rain." She rubbed his back softly drying him at the same time.
Kyou shivered relaxing "that... Feels nice..."
She nodded lightly. "If you still want to run I can carry you so you don't get wet." She petted him still.
Kyou shook his head "I'm tired of running… I... I need to attempt it.. Akito's putting me in the cage.. Nothing can change that..."
She looked down sadly. "...Kyou-kun..."
Kyou looked at her pain filled eyes "I still got a year with you.."
"...That's not enough for me..."
Kyou blushed "Its.. not?"
She shook her head sadly as she stood up. "...I'm going to get the heat pad to warm you up I don't want you getting sick."
Kyou nodded shivering a bit. "Then you'll go for a warm bath and heat up right?" She nodded lightly keeping her eyes away from his as she headed upstairs looking for the heating pad. Kyou shivered, his body turned back into humans but he never noticed.
She returned shortly a blush streaking across her face as she made her way back to the couch. "...Don't roll over." She placed the heating pad on his back gently plugging it in as she continued to rub gently.
Kyou blinked at her then looked at his hands and understood "Hai.."
She stood slowly. "I'll get you a clean clothes."
Kyou blinked then nodded closing his eyes "Hai... Thank you Tohru..." She headed through the hallway into Kyou's room knowing exactly what dresser pulling a pair of pants, boxers, and a shirt. She returned to him placing them on the couch arm.
Kyou looked at her "thanks..."
"your welcome." She knelt down beside him rubbing his back softly. She was still soaking wet from searching for him.
Kyou blinked "go bathe.. I'll heat up something to eat ok?"
She looked to the kitchen sadly. "...Dinner is probably cold now I'll start cooking oatmeal." She stood slowly heading into the kitchen.
Kyou blinked "No you go bathe! Get warm! I'll make something."
She looked to him shaking her head. "The family comes first."
Kyou jumped up holding the blanket around his waist. "I'll force you if I have To.. Your bathing"
She looked to him sadly. "... Why won't you run with me...?"
