On the first day of chapter 5, I was bombarded with reviews. Not that I mind. XD
Also, I know it's a bit late, but it is revealed in Chapter 110 that Akito is really female. Well, just make believe she's a he in this fic, kay? .
Lately I haven't wanted to do any updating. SO I had to glue my rump to the seat in front of the computer and start typing.
I read the eleventh book for Fruits Basket. Poor Kyo. . . . .:( (if you read it already, then you'd know what I'm talking about).
Akito is such a. . . .UGH. I don't even wanna say it. 7.7
Ah, just so you know, Sakura's full name! It's Sakura Rose Garnet! Although, that last name will of course soon be changed to Sohma. :)
You know, I only told this to my friend, but
You know, I noticed that I've only been making Sakura wear pink and black! XD I'll allow her to wear something different today!
Also, I drew a pic of Yuki and Sakura together! D Anyways, here's the link:
http/pictures. let's dye our hair! I mean, reply the reviews! XD
Unchained3011: Wow! You're name is Melody? I've never known someone with such a name (except I think in some sort of Little Mermaid movie). Well, it's a good thing you can't wait for the KyoXTohru scene, because I am going to dedicate chapter 6 to those two!
Daydreamer: Hmmm. . . .you like Pokemon? Well, I always thought Vulpix had seven tails. XD No need to count how many tales Ninetales has obviously. T.T Umbreon? I thought of it too, except black and pink instead of black and yellow. I'm going to post a drawing on Sakura's form also so there's a better view.
JewelStarBeauty: I know, you've told me that before. You can like whoever you want, as long as you leave Yuki alone. XD Kidding. Also, I've recently heard that Akito is suppose to be a girl, and that him and Shigure. . . . . .
Bubbles078: Okay, I shall answer your reviews one by one!
1. Yay! It's going on your favorites list! Devastating Love is sure turning out to be a success!
2. When it comes to Akito, you can never get carried away with a spork. XD
3. You're in love with Yuki? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I see. So am I. XD Maybe that's why I made Sakura? I really don't know anymore. . . . . . ? grabs Yuki Mine. XD Yuki and I are so alike, we both like cheese. XD I'm kidding. Don't worry, I have a nice little line that devides fantasy from reality! Also, I don't know if you ever noticed, but you know how Manga guys look better than guys in real life? XD That's just my sole opinion, but that really stinks. . . . .
4. Oh yes, I've known what fluff is for a while! Ahh, fluff. . . . one of the greatest parts of fanfiction is, indeed, fluff. Don't worry, chapter 6 will be dedicated to Kyo and Tohru, and fluff! XD
5. Sakura's form is basically her horrible emotions. When she transforms, her strong feelings of rage, sorrow, or devastation begin to spread, like an aura. And anyone who comes too close can actually feel it, and there is a high risk of someone having to feel that horrible emotion from then till the time that they die. It's a bit difficult to explain.
RisingSun: Aww. . . .you love my writing? I'm really creative? Aww, shuckles! -.- Thank you SOOO much! I really appreciate it!
Furubaluver: You said it wasn't THAT corny, which means it was somewhat corny. XD Not that I blame you. I read it over myself and it wasn't all that intruiging. But, that might be because I wrote it myself. XD
I love athrun: OKAY OKAY! I'LL WRITE A NEW CHAPTER! starts typing fantically XD
Kerrilea: Alright, alright I'm chopping. / XD
CuteAquaticQueen: I'm starting to get annoyed with the reviews you've been sending. I said no, and even though in this case you're not requesting anything, I request that you stop sending reviews like this. I appreciate that you read and review my story, but I dislike such reviews, especially when the reviewer knows I'm like that. So please refrain from it. Thanks. HOWEVER I will give you permission to use Sakura in your fics. But you must follow the rules I e-mailed to you. And don't expect me to read them. . . . .
Rena-Chan: Don't keep Fidget away from me, you'll get her depressed. She loves me too much. XD
Half-demon628: Once again, it wasn't that corny, which means it was somewhat corny. XD
some one I don't know: 0o Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I didn't quite understand your review message. . . .''
Different Child: Oh yayness, another reviewer who likes Sakura! . I'm glad you're enjoying the fic!
Yukina: Yay! Another fan!
Fruitsbasketfreak: Well, these things will be explanined later in the story.
Also, please check out JewelStarBeauty's Fruits Basket fic! It's going great, and yes Sakura is also in it! She's one of my reviewers, so you could just go into the review page, look for JewelStarBeauty and click on Fruits Basket Paradise or Is It! She's incredibly funny! I'm sure you'll love it!
Now, to continue with chapter 6!
I've just noticed how many times I've used XD in this A/N. . . .XD
Yuki slightly fluttered his eyes open. He felt dazed. He rose his head to look at the nightsand over Sakura's head where a simple digital clock sat. It was almost noon. He plomped his head back down with a sigh. He was still tired.
He snuggled into Sakura's long, whippy hair that sprawled out on her pillow in different directions. He inhaled the scent of her shampooed hair (she had taken a shower the previous night after she was taken back from the garden). He felt. . . .comfortable, and. . . .safe.
He snuggled in her hair a little deeper until the tip of his nose touched Sakura's skull. His eyes still open, many thoughts of the few previous days flooding thourgh his head. Sakura was indeed a very special person, and Yuki was now feeling different about his situation. He felt content. He was to marry sweet, beautiful girl.
But, Yuki still couldn't erase Tohru Honda from his mind. Tohru was, in a way, his first love. Yuki clutched Sakura a little closer, trying to feel at ease with himself. It was a nice feeling, huggging a girl. . . . .
The door slammed open. Yuki, havinghis back towards the door, immediatly shut his eyes, slightly trembling, knowing the unwanted intruder was Akito (he couldn't be an intruder in his own home, but still).
"Ah, our lovely couple! Did you have fun last night?" laughed Akito, grabbing the covers and throwing them off the bed, "I thought you two would want to wait until your honeymoon night!" Sakura twitched, reaching around her knees for the covers that were no longer there. She fluttered her eyes open, which opened wide with shock at the sight of Akito. Yuki, still faking his slumber, nudged Sakura softly on her head, to calm her down a little. His grip around her waist slightly tightened.
"Up, up up!" yelled Akito, the giddy mood in his voice suddenly changing, "Out, now. Get your belongings at once. I don't want such a pathetic female body in my presence, especially after last nights boring episode!" Yuki immediatly opened his eyes, scared and a little quite the bit annoyed. First Akito sends his fiance out to the garden, giving the intent to rape her. Then he goes criticizing her body? It's just plain stupid. . . . .
Yuki and Sakura hastily stuffed their belongings into their luggage. Sakura fiddled with her belongings, at first wanting to place everything in neatly, but then rapidly changing her mind once realizing the glare of impatience on Akito's harsh face.
"Hatori will be driving you back to Shigure's house." said Akito, playing with a loose strand on his kimono. Sakura grabbed a random bundle of clothes and hurried to the bathroom.
"Where are you going?" Sakura gave an abrupt stop in her step. She looked over her shoulder, looking at Akito, who looked very disturbed, "I asked you a question, Sakura."
"I was. . . . going to change. . . . .in the bathroom. . . . ." replied Sakura, high tension in her trembling voice. The memories of the previous night flooded through her head. She grasped her clothes closer to her chest. Akito smiled when he noticed the high tension. Yuki saw that sly smile. He knew Akito was going to do something unpleasant.
"You know what, I changed my mind! You two will stay the one more day you were supposed to in the first place!" Akito smirked and closed the bathroom door, leaning against it to prevent anyone from entering, "Yuki, please leave the room."
Meanwhile, at Shigure's. . . . . . . . .
Tohru was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. Kyo was still sleeping, and Shigure had apparently been dragged out of the house by his editor to her home, where he would probably be less likely to wander off. She giggled to herself, thinking of how silly Shigure always was. She continued to stir the cod stew she was preparing. All for Kyo, all for Kyo. . . . .
She blushed at the thought of Kyo. Kyo always seemed to make her blush.
She remembered when she first saw him, when he crashed through the roof the first day she was staying with the Sohmas. She saw a terrifyingly handsome young man, with this intriguing flaming, orange hair.
"Tohru?"
Tohru turned around at the sound of her name, a flash of shock and happiness on her face from the sight of Kyo. He was standing there in his pajamas, his face wet. He had just washed his face and brushed his teeth in the bathroom.
"Kyo-Kun! Good morning!" exclaimed Tohru, "Why are you. . . .so wet?" said Tohru, trying to divert any attention going towards her red cheeks.
"I was coming to get some paper towel. Apparently the bathroom towels are in the dryer." replied Kyo, grabbing a sheet of paper towel and quickly wiping his face.
"Oh, okay." replied Tohru. She continued to stir the stew.
"So. . . .what's for breakfast?" asked Kyo, trying to start a conversation.
"Oh, just some cod stew." replied Tohru most cheerfully. Kyo looked at her and gave off another smile. He had lately been feeling grumpy and cranky. Maybe it was because he had a lot on his mind lately. He usually had a lot of homework, and he never really had any time to himself. . . .or Tohru.
As much as he didn't want to admit it, Kyo was also crankly lately because Yuki had been acting awfully odd before he had gone over to the main house with Sakura. It was as if he was trying to keep Tohru all to himself, and it was really pissing him off. Which was probably why he started snapping when Tohru mentioned Nira-Tama the other night. . . . . . .
Kyo slightly blushed at his previous thought.
"It's ready, Kyo-Kun!." announced Tohru. She set two bowls on the table and two spoons.
"Thank you Tohru. . ." said Kyo once they were seated, almost in a whisper. Tohru blushed, but smiled.
"The pleasure is mine Kyo-Kun!"
They began to peacefully eat their stew.
After they had eaten and cleared the table, both Tohru and Kyo sat silently at the table. There was just about nothing to do. Nothing good on TV, no school, all the homework was finished. There was just about nothing to do.
"Yuki-Kun and Sakura-Kun are coming back tomorrow right? Weren't they staying at the main house for three days?" asked Tohru, trying to start whatever conversation was available to her.
"Yeah. . . ." replied Kyo, almost angrily. He had really enjoyed spending time alone with Tohru, especially since Shigure was almost never there. All he needed was that damn Yuki to come back. . . . .
"Hey! Kyo-Kun! I've got an idea!" sang Tohru, "Why don't we take a walk to the supermarket! We need a few things anyway! And on our way there, we can stop by the main house and visit Yuki-Kun and Sakura-Kun!" Kyo smiled a bit. He didn't mind going with Tohru to the supermarket, it was visiting Yuki that he had the problem with. Didn't he see that damn rat enough in his life already? But he didn't want to go against Tohru. . . . .
"Sure." Kyo replied with a smile. Tohru gave off another of her beautiful smiled and went upstairs to get dressed. Kyo went into his own room and hastily got dressed himself, wearing his usual apparel of baggy pants and some random T-shirt. He jogged back to the kitched and quenched his thirst by taking a few gulps of milk from the fridge. Wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he sat at the table and waited for Tohru to come out.
After a few minutes, Tohru entered the kitchen. Kyo examined her features: the pink tank top she was wearing, the white mini skirt, wearing those adorable white sandles with pink daisies on the buckles, and of course, two ribbons in her hair, one white, one pink.
After Kyo realized he was staring, he blushed and looked away. Tohru gently tugged on Kyo's shirt as a signal that she was ready to leave. Kyo smiled and followed her out the door.
Meanwhile, at the main house. . . . .
Yuki couldn't believe his ears. Did Akito just ask him. . . . .to leave?
"Yuki, did you hear me?" said Akito, "Now please leave the room!" Yuki glanced at Sakura. She hesitantly nodded, not wanting Yuki to get hurt. He then took an exxageratingly long time leaving the room, wanting to make any open chances for Akito to change his mind. But to no prevail, as Yuki left and closed the door behind him. He sighed, breath trembling, wondering what horrible things Akito might be doing behind his back - literally. Thoughts of blood, agony, and rape began to flood his mind. . . ..
Akito smirked and looked at Sakura. She began to tremble: Akito had dug a deep core of fear inside her, and her was quite proud of his accomplishment.
"Heh, you Sakura, are just like Yuki: WORTHLESS!" Akito slowly walked over to Sakura and gripped her shoulders. Akito smirked and allowed his nose to explore areas around Sakura's tender, vulnerable neck. His nose climbed up to her ear, nudging a few pink hairs away, "But you're so much fun to play with." he seductively hissed.
Sakura gasped, her knees wobbling, falling back onto the bed and dropping the bundle of clothes she was holding.
"You are indeed a lot of fun to play with, Sakura. . . . ." Sakura twitched as Akito began to snake his hand up her back. He grinned, tracing his lips on her exposed lips, brushing them. Sakura turned away, trying to nudge him away. He dug his nails into her back, then bit her neck, peeling away a little bit of her skin,making her flinch for a second.
'I can't let him do this. . . . . .not to me. . . . . .I can't just let him do whatever he wants with my body. . . . . .I can't. . . . . .' She piped up her courage and bravely, almost vigorously, shoved Akito away.
Akito's eyes widened, more in shock than in anger.
"Akito-San. . . . . ." Sakura's voice was very hoarse, she was afraid of what might happen, what Akito might do. . . . .
"I never would've expected you to put up any resistance. . . . . ." he ran his thumb over Sakura's bottom lip, "I mostly expected just another toy when you had arrived.
Sakura stood up and brushed off invisible dust from her shoulders. 'A toy. . . . .that's what I am to him. . . . . .how can Akito stand to be so cruel, I wonder. . . . .' Sakura picked up the almost forgotten bundle of clothes and hastily hurried to the bathroom to change. Akito chuckled. He left the room and headed off to the main room to doze off. But instead, he was greeted by an old, stern looking maid.
"Master Akito-San. We have two visitors for young masters Yuki and Sakura."
"Bring them in." The maid bowed at Akito's stern reply. Hesighed. It was going to be a long day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yuki-Kun! Sakura-Kun!" chirped Tohru delightfully as she gleefully ran into the bedroom in which Yuki and Sakura had been staying, with Kyo following behind her.
"Honda-San!" greeted Yuki with a smile, "I'm so happy you've come to see us!"
"Onya! Tohru-Kun! Hello!" greeted Sakura as she exitted the bathroom, "Oh my, you and Kyo have come to visit? I'm delighted!" All four of them sat on the bed, making themselves at home, talking as if everything was fine (even though it really wasn't going all that great).
"The stay at the main house is going fine, yeah?" asked Tohru.
"It's quite all right." replied Yuki. He really was very happy to see Tohru again, to see her smile, to hear her laughing, and to watch her apologize again and again and again over every tiny grammatical flaw she would make in her sentences. He felt truly happy and comforted, now that Tohru was there. Yuki was smiling, not just his lips but his eyes and thoughts were smiling too, all because the sight of Tohru wanted to make him smile.
He couldn't help it. He loved Sakura, but he loved Tohru more. He felt that he should be lucky, that he had a sweet fiance, but he couldn't erase his original emotions.
Now Sakura, being the emotional creature she is, saw this smile. She saw this passion in Yuki she had never seen before. All though she had only known him for a short time, she had never sensed such a strong emotion from him. Never. Sakura could easily see the light in his face that grew brighter everytime Tohru smiled at him.
And Sakura knew it. It wasn't just any happiness.
It was love.
Yuki was in love with Tohru.
But he was stuck with someone he had met only a few days ago, and they were getting married.
It was an unwilled marriage.
Because Yuki dearly loved someone else.
Sakura had grown into Yuki, and clung to him. He was any girls dream: handsome, kind, strong, noble, smart. . . . .And Sakura felt that she was falling in love with Yuki Sohma.
But he dearly loved someone else.
And he couldn't have her.
Because Akito decided that he had to marry someone else.
Sakura stayed silent for the rest of the time Tohru and Kyo were there.
And when they left, Sakura saw the light in Yuki fade away.
'I need to do something. . . . .I need to do something. . . . . .for Yuki, I. . . . .'
"Sakura-San?"
"Y-yes Yuki?" replied Sakura, snapping out of her deep thought.
"Are you all right? I mean, you weren't talking for a while and. . . . .you don't dislike Honda-San, do you. . . . .Sakura-San?"
Oh, no Yuki-Kun!" replied Sakura, placing her fingers on her forehead, "That must've been terribly rude of me. . . . .I apologize. Anyways, please excuse me. . . .I need to see if I can discuss something with Akito-San."
At Shigure's house, once Tohru and Kyo returned from the supermarket. . . . .
Kyo and Tohru entered the modest little home they lived in. They were carrying a few big brown bags filled with all kinds of foods and ingredients (Kyo obviously carrying the heavier bags). They placed the bags on the kitchen counter, and Tohru immediatly started putting all the groceries in their proper places. The milk in the fridge, the meats in the freezer, and etc.
"Kyo-Kun?"
"Yeah?"
"Well. . . . .Sakura wasn't really talking to me all that much. . . . .do you think. . . . .I offended her in some way?"
"Nah. . . .no one would dislike you like that, Tohru. . . . ."
"Oh, but. . . . .she was fairly content for a while, and then she had more of a. . . .sad, or sympathetic, or offended face. I think it was after I mentioned you and I eating those cupcakes the other day. . . .do you think. . . . .?"
"Tohru, don't worry too much. . . .besides, Shigure told me that Yuki and Sakura have been through a sufficient amount of stress back at the main house. . . . .you know how Akito confides in Hatori and Shigure, so that's how the info was recieved. . . . ."
"Oh, okay. . . . . ." Tohru put away the rest of the groceries in silence. After settling the last package of frozen meat in it's proper place, she began to make a quick snack before night, singing and humming all the while.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The salmon was delicious, Tohru." commented Kyo, taking a bite out of an onigiri to complete his meal. Tohru smiled. She was originally going to make a simple snack, but wanted to make things more enjoyable for Kyo.
'Anything for Kyo-Kun. . . . . .' thought Tohru silently to herself, clearing the table and immediatly getting to work on the dishes.
"Do you need help, Tohru?" asked Kyo.
"Oh no, Kyo-Kun, I'm fine really! Besides, all I have to do is finish drying this glass bowl and-" CRASH. The bowl slipped from her hands and shattered on the ground.
Kyo and Tohru stared blankly at the broken bowl for a few moments. . . .
. . . . .and then burst out in laughter.
What was so hilarious about the broken bowl was not known, but it had to be one of the stupidest mistakes Tohru could have done. She was now a deep shade of scarlet.
"I-I'm sorry! Heh! Silly me!" said Tohru as she hastily began to sweep up the glass.
"Let me help-"
"N-No! I made this ridiculous mess and. . . .ACK!" Tohru yelped.
"Tohru?"
Tohru blushed again and glared angrily at her foot for embarrassing her even more. She had just stepped on a large peice of glass. She shook her foot. The glass didn't dig deep into her skin, so it fell off. But it made a pretty nice cut.
"You're bleeding. . . . ." Kyo reached into the medicine cabinet to get a band-aid and ointment. He sat her down on the counter, using a wet cloth to wipe away what blood had spilled, applied the ointment, and put the band-aid over. The job was a bit sloppy. He had applied a little too much ointment, making it ooze out of the band-aid. But otherwise, it was fine.
"T-T-Thank you, Kyo-Kun. . . . . ." said Tohru, now two different shades of red. She slipped of the counter and landed. almost gracefully, on her feet. But she flinched when her cut foot slapped the ground.
"Maybe you should keep off that foot for a little. . . .. until morning, at least anyways." suggested Kyo.
"Erm, well. . . . . ."
"Here we go. . . . ." grunted Kyo as he slipped one arm under Tohru's knee and the other beneath her spine. She slightly squealed and the sudden arch. He hoisted her up and made sure to keep his distance to prevent transforming. He then carried her to her bedroom.
"Kyo-Kun. . . . . ."
"It's all right. I don't mind at all. Really." said Kyo, placing Tohru gently in her bed. He pulled the a white sheet over her, and stood next to her bed.
"I'm really sorry Kyo-Kun. . .. for causing such a ridiculous scene. . . . . ." Tohru was still blushing.
Kyo smiled, a smile that only Tohru could see, because only Tohru could make him smile like that.
Tohru loved to see him smile. She loved the way his lips curled into that happy expression. The feeling of joy overwhelming her, she hesitantly ran her fingers over his curled lips, barely noticing when his face seemed to come closer.
Kyo loved the feeling of her smooth fingers touching his lips. He gave a quivering sigh, signifying his bliss.
Tohru felt his warm breath on her esposed neck, making her shudder. She almost gasped when Kyo pulled in closer for a heartwarming kiss.
'Her lips are so soft. . . . .so gentle. . . . . .they feel. . . . .so beautiful. . . . .' though Kyo as their kiss gently began to deepen. He smiled and slowly let go.
"I love you Tohru. . . . . . ." Tohru felt herslef light up. She was so happy to hear him so those three tender words. . . . .
"And I love you too Kyo-Kun. . . . ."
Kyo placed a gentle kiss on Tohru's forehead, "Good night. . . . ." and he slowly exited the room.
'Damn, that felt good!' exclaimed Kyo in his thoughts as he happily went to bed.
Ah, I know, more corniness, and a really short chappy too. I'm sorry. . . . I know I said I would update in two weeks (to those who recieved the update) but I went on a vacation, and that delayed me by a lot. Well, I hope you enjoy this horrible entry! ;
