The Real Chapter 9: Starlight
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket or any manga for that matter. I do however own this story and the manga books 1-12, since 13-22 is not out in the U.S. yet. :( I do however own the book I'm writing and all the characters in it. I still want peoples to guess my age I'm between the age of 6and 30, so that might help you and I'm in Algebra so it means I'm not a 1st grader or a 4th grader for that matter either. Good luck guessing.
I think I confused a few people when I deleted my authors note...oops.
Again I'll answer the reviews I got from the people who figured out my mistake.
fallenangel456: Yeah I personally liked that part a lot too. Shigure was dizzy and couldn't think straight so he sounded a lot like a little kid.
kyo'slittlekittenkisa: Yup Kyo and Tohru are together. I read your story, and it's really good so update soon!
Only tow reviews for this chapter... Oh well maybe I'll get more reviews this chapter.
On to chapter 9: Starlight
Tohru sat at her desk humming as she finished the last of her math homework. Looking at her clock, Tohru went into panic mode. It was already 7:05 and she hadn't gotten ready yet. Rushing around Tohru tried to figure out what to wear and if she should bring a coat just in case it was cold. In the end Tohru ended up wearing a baby blue dress and butterfly sandals. Her hair was tied up into pigtails with two ribbons that matched her dress. She had on light makeup that accented her light brown eyes, and added a pale rosy color to her cheeks. With all that in mind Tohru remembered to bring her white coat with her, just in case it was cold.
Kyo, on the other hand was lounging on the couch and waiting until he heard the click of Tohru's door opening before he went up to the roof. Like Tohru he had a hoodie with him, just in case it got cold, but he hadn't dressed up or anything. In his head Kyo wondered to himself why it was taking Tohru so long. "I did say 7:15, right? How long does it take Tohru to get ready? It's already 7:17 and the sun will be setting soon." Kyo though to himself. Yet no sooner had he though it, Tohru came rushing out of her room, worry clearly shown on her face.
"I'm soooo sorry, Kyo! Homework was really hard and when I finished it was 7:05 and then I still had to get ready and then I couldn't find my coat and..."Tohru immediately stopped talking as Kyo's hand covered her mouth. "Don't worry. You're not that late and I just got down here myself." Kyo said, telling a little white lie to cheer Tohru up from her anxiety. "Oh, okay." Tohru said, completely cheerful again.
Taking her hand, Kyo lead Tohru outside to the ladder that leads to the roof. "I'll go up first and when you reach the top step, Tohru close your eyes. I'll help you onto the roof, but I want what you see to be a surprise. Okay?" Kyo asked as he started up the ladder. After he got up the first few steps, Tohru started up herself, being extra careful not to snag her dress on anything. As she reached the last step, she closed her eyes just like Kyo had told her to. "Okay Kyo, my eyes are closed. Now what?" Tohru asked as she held on to the ladder to make sure she didn't fall. "Put one of your hands out in front of you, so that I can pull you up." Kyo said as he stuck his own hand out. Complying, Tohru put her hand out, only to lose her balance. Without warning she started to fall backwards, only to be pulled up onto the roof by Kyo.
"You gotta be more careful Tohru, what if I wasn't there to catch you before you fell?" Kyo asked as he hugged Tohru closer to him. "It's my sandals...they weren't made for climbing ladders. But thank you for saving me, Kyo." Tohru said as she kissed him lightly on the check. "Now what was it you wanted to show me?" "Look at the sky, Tohru." "Kyo, it's beautiful! Is this why your always up here, to see the sun setting?"
"Yup..." Kyo said as he held Tohru close, not wanting to let her go just yet. As the sun finished setting, Tohru turned her head slightly to face Kyo. "That must have been the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Tohru said in awe. "Have you seen anything more beautiful Kyo?" Tohru asked as she leaned her head back against Kyo shoulder. "Yes." Kyo said simply. "What was it?" Tohru asked curiosity now spiked. "You." Kyo said as his face became bright red from blushing. (Audience: awwwwww!) "Kyo, I'm not beautiful...Kagura, Rin and the other are prettier than me." Tohru said modestly, a light blush covering her face. "No, you are the most beautiful person to me, and I love you for being who you are." Kyo said as he turned Tohru, so that she was facing him. "I love you too, Kyo." Tohru said as she kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Awwww! How cute, teenage romance." Shigure said from his perch on the steps. Both teens' faces were now bright red as they turned to see that there surprise visitor was indeed Shigure. "Go away you Baka pervert!" Kyo screamed. "Damn Shigure, always ruining everything!" Kyo whispered under his breath. "Shigure, you scared me..." Tohru said as she slowly regained her composure. "Fine, I'll leave, I just stopped by to say hello." Shigure said sulking. "Okay, now go away, go bother Yuki or something." Kyo said as he glared at him. "Kyo no fun! Kyo no fun! Every party needs a party-pooper and that's why we invited you..." Shigure said in a child like voice. "Go Away Now!" Kyo screamed, patience long lost.
After Shigure finally left Kyo grabbed Tohru and pulled her back into a big hug. "Shigure really bugs me sometimes." Kyo huffed as hugged Tohru closer. "Kyo, you let Shigure get to you too much. He's only kidding." Tohru said as she rested her head against Kyo shoulder. "Is that so?" Kyo said as he tickled Tohru lightly as he turned her so that she was facing him. "Kyo...stoop...that tickles." Tohru said between laughs. "Nope." Kyo said as he continued to tickle. Turning Tohru extended her arms and started to Tickle Kyo back.
Much later on, when neither teen could breathe, they called a truce and ended their tickle fight. Lying on the cool tiles of the roof, they gazed up at the nighttime sky. "Kyo, look the first star, quick make a wish!" Tohru said with the same enthusiasm as a little kid. "Okay, um I wish..."Kyo was cut short as Tohru's hand covered his mouth. 'You can't say your wish out loud yet silly or it won't come true." Tohru said as she uncovered his mouth.
Closing her eyes, Tohru laid her head against Kyo's chest as she thought of her wish. Having come up with her wish, Tohru turned her head slightly to see Kyo deep in thought about his wish. "Are you still thinking about your wish Kyo?" Tohru asked as she scooted closer to Kyo. "Yeah, I know what my wish is." Kyo said as he wrapped his arms around Tohru and pulled her closer. "Really? What did you wish for Kyo?" Tohru asked as she raised her head a bit, so that she could look into Kyo's eyes. "Well, I wished that this night would never end and that we could be together forever." Kyo said as he kissed the top of her head. "What was you wish Tohru?" Kyo asked as he looked over at his peaceful angel.
"My wish was sort of like yours...I wished that we could be together forever and that everything could be calm and normal again." Tohru said as she laid her head back down. Smiling Tohru closed her eyes and fell into a contempt sleep, curled up next to Kyo as he thought of everything that had happened the last few days. "Goodnight Tohru." Kyo said as he bent over and kissed her lightly on the cheek.
This chapter was defiantly a Kyoru fluff chapter so I hope everyone is happy. I think there will only be 1 or 2 more chapters before I end this story so I will have a lot more fluff in the last chapter(s). I'm also working on the Yukiru that everyone kept asking for. I'll be published in a few weeks or maybe a month or two depending on how fast I work on it. Okays Peoples you read it now you get to review it! Flames will be terminated as always so don't even bother if your review is a FLAME! Constructive criticism and ideas for an ending are always appreciated. Just review please because I like to know what you peoples who are reading this story think about it.
