A/N: YAY! I finally updated! I'm so sorry, and I sincerely apologize for not writing this sooner. It's the theater scene. And I hope (hope, hope, hope!) that I shall update more regularly now. Forgive me. (gives a bow in shame).

DISCLAIMER: I do not own fruits basket, or any of the characters from it.

Chapter 2

"Yuki-kun must sit next to Kimi," Kimi started singing. "Right Yuki-kun?" she asked.

"Aw! What about me, Yun-Yun?" Kakeru Manabe said, heart-broken tears sparkling in his eyes.

"No! Yun-Yun must not listen to him!" Kimi pleaded.

"You're just jealous because our president likes me better," Manabe stuck his tongue out.

Naohito rubbed his temples painfully.

"Uh, so what movie are we going to see anyway?" Yuki asked conversationally on the metro-ride over to the main city where the theater was, ignoring the squabble and trying to change the topic.

"Oh that?" Kimi smiled dazzlingly. "It's called Summer Love on a Deserted Island."

No one said anything, but they blinked, each with a nervous sweat-drop.

It sounds one of Shigure's books turned into a movie! Yuki thought, in horror.

It sounds stupid, thought Naohito, angrily.

I'm hungry, thought Manabe, patting his stomach. He had skipped breakfast.

Machi didn't think anything at all; she was instead reading the poster advertising the movie inside the train.

"Summer may have gone, but the memories of those days and nights will last forever…" (A/N: Kind of like that book Shigure wrote that was mentioned in Vol. 2. And, Yuki was right although he doesn't realize it: the movie is actually one of Shigure's books adapted into a movie).

As they waited in line at the theater Kimi ended up flirting with three other guys and went to sit by them instead. "Kimi won't be very far. Kimi will be right over there," she pointed at the far top left corner of the cinema, waved good-bye to them, and disappeared.

Now it was just the four of them.

Manabe had bought a whole tray of junk food and sweets with him, and as soon as he sat down, began to obnoxiously munch on them. "Oo mah sogh?" he offered the other three, his mouth filled with popcorn.

Yuki and Machi shook their heads politely to decline, and Naohito glowered at him, so Kekareu gave a shrug and continued to chomp down contently.

10 minutes into the movie, Naohito, bored and hating even being there, stood up, claiming he had to go to the bathroom He left, and didn't come back.

"You know, she's going to be eaten by the shark" Kekeru (A/N – I'm going to use Kekeru and Manabe interchangeably, if it won't bother you guys too much) said loudly.

The person behind them gave an annoyed, "Shhh!"

After a moment of silence, Yuki turned and looked at Manabe. "You've seen this movie before?" he asked in a whisper.

"Yup," Kakeru sighed, bored. "Just last weekend."

Yuki stared at him.

"Don't look so surprised," Machi whispered to him, which startled Yuki, and then made him smile.

"Yeah. I should have known this was Manabe's kind of movie."

"Hey!" cried Kekeru out loud.

Four people by them hissed, "Shhh!"

Yuki chuckled silently under his breath, trying not to make noise.


The movie progressed for a while without anybody saying anything. The hero and heroine managed to survive a shipwreck in shark-infested waters of the South Pacific only to be stranded on – surprise, surprise – a deserted island.

After a particularly intense scene between the two potential lovers, Kekeru burst out pointing at the screen, saying, "They're not going to Do It yet!"

Their whole row glared at Kekeru, and said, "Shh!"

"What?" he said aloud in defense, throwing his hands up in the air. "They're gonna Do It anyway on the day before they're saved!"

The whole theater hissed, "SHH!" angrily. A guy in the back isle cried, "Aw, man!" got up, and left the theater.

A few seconds later, one of the theater ushers came over waving a flashlight, grabbed Kekeru by the shirt, and ended up throwing him out of the theater.

Kekeru tried once to sneak back in to the cinema, only to be kicked out once more.

So only Yuki and Machi were left to watch the last 30 minutes of the movie.

Machi started to feel a little shy all of a sudden, being alone with Yuki in the theater. Worst of all, much to her embarrassment, Yuki seemed perfectly fine about it.

Oh, why'd she ever decide to come to see this stupid movie? She hadn't even wanted to see it. Now that it was just the two of them, it felt too much like it was a date.

The theater was dark, so no one saw her face turning radish-red. But when her head started spinning dizzy with nervousness until she felt sick, that caught Yuki's attention. Turning to her, "Are you alright?" he asked with concern.

"I'm fine," she managed to say, only to end up feeling worse.

Yuki took hold of her upper arm, and helped her to her feet. "Come on, let's get out of here," he said. "You need some fresh air."

As soon as they stepped out of the building, they found Kekeru sitting on the sidewalk, waiting for them. "Is the movie over?" he asked as he stood up.

Yuki shook his head, "No, but she wasn't feeling well, so we came out doors."

Kekeru pushed Yuki aside and dramatically put his arm around his sister's shoulders. "What did you do to her, Yun-Yun!" he demanded. "You drugged her drink didn't you, you rapist sicko!"

"I didn't have a drink, you moron," Machi grumbled.

"You see! She's already having delusions now!" he cried.

"But she really didn't have a drink," Yuki told him, mildly surprised at Kekeru's outburst.

Despite their argument, it was best decided to get Machi home.

Yuki, who had only been to Mahci's house once before wasn't surprised to see it was still in a state of chaos.

"Get plenty of rest," Yuki told her kindly. "And don't strain yourself too much."

Machi gave a small smile and a bow of thanks to him.

"Yeah, and don't take any drinks from deviant rapist like Yuki-kun!" Manabe added.

"I AM NOT A DEVIANT RAPIST!" Yuki finally yelled back.

"Says who?" Mange challenged.

"Says me, that's who!"

"And why should I believe you?" Manabe turned away, and announced coolly.

"Because a sexual deviant wouldn't do this!"

"Ow! My nose! Yun-Yun broke my nose! You are so mean, Yun-Yun!" Kekeru wailed, covering his nose.

Machi started laughing, but she closed the door so the two of them wouldn't see that she was.
