Chapter XI

This writer's block is a bitch! I would have giving up if it wasn't for your persistent threats. Hope this one comes up to your standards.

And before I forget: I don't own Fruits Basket, or Kyo. Although I do have a little teddy bear I named Kyou.

"Um…well…" Kyo stuttered. "It was kinda about us, in a way…well, what Hatori said was. Ayame and Shigure just wanted to know things like how and what happened." Kyo blushed, but Tohru couldn't see him.

Flashback:

"…I don't know what ya'll are so worried 'bout."

"Ha'ri, can I ask my questions now?" Ayame whined

"Your questions are not relevant." Hatori shot him an angry look, Ayame pretended not to see.

"Kyo, Ayame and I wanted to know how you did it." Shigure piped in.

"Yea and how did you keep from transforming?" Ayame joined

"Or did you transform?"

"It had to be awkward transforming in the middle of it."

"I'd think it would spoil the mood" Shigure said. Hatori rolled his eyes in frustration.

"So, we want details!" Ayame was jumping with excitement.

"What the hell! There is no way I'm tell you, damn it!" Kyo stormed out of the room.

End Flashback

"Kyo, I am happy, being with you." Tohru's voice broke through the memory.

"Me too, Tohru… me too."


It was Sunday, the last day of spring break. Yuki had come down for breakfast, but was still a horrible mood. He refused to look or talk to anyone, and left the house as soon as breakfast was over. However, his attitude didn't upset the natural up beat demeanor of Tohru.

Tohru was skipping and singing all around the house today, occasionally tripping over herself, making Kyo laugh. Kyo stood in the door way watching her clean. Whenever she attempted to brush past him he would grab her up into a hug and she would kiss him. He felt like a giddy school boy. Then Shigure came into the room behind Kyo and watched them for a while.

"Ah…How wonderful young love can be. Passing the long days in each others company, enjoying…" Shigure's last sentence was cut off when Kyo spun around and hit him in the face. Tohru giggled, causing both of them to send her a shocked look; she never found it funny when Yuki or Kyo would hit Shigure.

"Might I ask you what you are so happy today, my flower?" Shigure raised and eyebrow and Kyo nodded. Tohru's smile widened.

"I'm happy because tomorrow school starts tomorrow, and now that Yuki knows about Kyo and me, we can be together in public!" Tohru giggled and went back to work. Shigure made a wide grin at a shocked Kyo. Public. For some reason the thought made him shiver.

"What the hell are you smiling about!" He shouted at Shigure. Shigure snickered and hurried out of the room.


Yuki walked to school with Tohru and Kyo, and even joined in a small conversation with the overly excited girl. However, Kyo seemed to be sulking a bit.

"Hey Orange top; Princy. Tohru how was your spring break?" Uo asked

"It was fine."

"Something is different about you Tohru." Hana was standing behind Uo

"No! It's nothing. Nothing at all!" Tohru pulled Uo and Hana away from the two boys.


The school day went better then Kyo had expected. Of course he was pick on a bit, but surprisingly it didn't upset him, much.

Tohru and Kyo walked home alone again, Yuki had something to take care of. It was a quiet walk home. Tohru was skipping ahead and smiling, as always, and Kyo was watching the sky. Thankful for how wonderful his life had become since she walked into it.

"Come on, slowpoke!" Tohru called to him, he started a slow jog to catch up to her. They walked the rest of the way hand in hand.

"Shigure! We're back from school!" Tohru called as soon as they were through the door.

"He is not here right now. I sent him and Hatori out for a while." Tohru and Kyo froze in the hall. "Well, I see the little rumors are true…"

Ok, I finally finished this one. The next chapter will be the last! Yea! Um, but I thought you should know that when I started writing this I had only seen the first two DVDs and I've been reading the manga through out. Oh, and I didn't put the whole 'talk' in to the story, wasn't sure how.
