Disclaimer: And I still don't own Fruits Basket. Why won't you give me Fruits Basket Takaya-sensei?

sigh because if I did then I would be the one writing the fanfic and that's just to boring for a superior like me.

Well, fine! Again I do not own Fruits Basket. But some day I swear I will find it and make it my own, but for now I will write fanfics.

A/N: Kay, Chapter 1 had nothing to do with the summery but that's O.K. I guess my friend read it and really liked it, but she's never read Fruits Basket so she doesn't know what we do. O.K. well chapter 2 is not starting where chapter 1 left of so don't get confused. And thanks to the few people that have reviewed. I quit with the honorifics, the things at the ends of names off, because I never get the right ones on and I just find them bothersome.

Chapter 2

Shigure's POV

"Mii, ummm…I'm not quite sure I'm done with the manuscript," Shigure panicked. I wish I was done, then I wouldn't have to do this to her again. If only she knew how I felt about her. But, there's no way that we can have anything between us.

"Shigure? Shigure…Shi…," called Mii waking him from his thoughts. She looked worried and she had tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Mii I was thinking. If you give me half an hour I can get the manuscript done," He pleaded. Mii looked relieved and worried at this statement but she agreed.

"You know Shigure," Mii sighed, "if you don't get this manuscript done this time the company is going to fire me."

"Wha-what!" he sputtered. "They're going to fire you! They can't, you're a wonderful editor. It's just my fault that you have such a hard time. I'm sorry." For this one time he was sure about what he was saying. I thought that I could hide my feelings forever. I never knew that I would have to reveal that I really did love her. Still, I can't have anything with her. I don't want her to get hurt, after what happened to Kana. I won't let that happen to her no matter how much I love her.

After twenty minutes Shigure had gotten his manuscript done. He put all his feelings into it hoping that within reading it his dear editor would get the idea of his love for her. If she didn't then she wouldn't have to know. But if she did then he would make Akito allow their relationship, if she accepted. He had to have his way with this one and he would no matter what the hardships were!

Mii's POV

Shigure seemed tense today. I wonder what was wrong. Maybe there was a death in the family or something. Or maybe he had a relationship problem. It's so unlike Shigure to get upset though. Mii sat there reading though Shigure's latest work which he had given her that morning. As she read she thought it seemed oddly familiar. The story was about a lovesick author torturing his editor to cover up for his love.

"What! This can't be his writing!" Mii gasped to herself. But, then again maybe that was why he was acting so weird today. Maybe he really does love me. I know it's selfish but I hope that it's true because, I love him too.

'Knock knock'. Mii listened to the sound against the door pane as she stood in front of Shigure's house. I can't believe I'm doing this but as my mother said never miss any situation no matter how tough it is. (1) "Hey Shigure!"

"Mii? What are you doing back so soon? I swear that's the true manuscript," Shigure sobbed into his hands. Mii laughed in spite of his sorry state. Of course she knew he wasn't really sobbing but it was still funny. He looked up as she laughed and turned a slight pink color, strange for him. Mii smiled and slipped past him into the house.

"Well Shigure, I was reading though you manuscript and I found it quite good. One of your best works I'd say! But, what troubled me was at how familiar it seemed to me. Then I figured it out, it's about us isn't it?" Mii spoke these words in her most serious voice. Shigure looked down towards the floor and muttered something she couldn't hear.

He looked up as he said, "Mii I'm sorry if you were surprised by it. I didn't mean for you to have to come all this way. I just thought that it would be the best way for me to say what I felt in my heart." He said all this very softly that Mii had to lean towards him to hear it clearly.

"Shi-Shigure? It's alright if you think that. The truth is that I feel the same way about you. I guess no matter how cruel you were to me I liked you even more." Mii took him byt suprize and hugged him. Shigure gasped and there was that all to familar 'poof' before Yuki could run in and cause a divertion Shigure had already turned into a dog. Mii just gaped at him. What happened? I hope I didn't hurt him. Then she started sobbing histericly.

Yeah, so I decided to end the chapter here. I was going to have it go on but this was a good spot to end it. By the way the (1) was for Mii. I'm having it work out that her mother was an idol to her after she died. Yes, it is just like Tohru so they should get along well. So R&R and I'll have chapter 3 out sometime soon.
