A/N: This is a one-shot I've been thinking about for a while but never did anything with. I kinda like how it turned out. I apologize in advanced for the footnotes if they bother you –sweat drop- I felt I needed them so people who haven't read all the books would know what's going on.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket but I do own all the manga books, one DVD, a Fruits Basket poster, and a Kyo plushie! XD

Haru leaned back in his chair watching Momiji bounce around the classroom. He raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment. He had too many things on his mind to worry about the kid. Momiji was handing out candy to their class again. The bell finally rang signaling the end of the school day.

"Let's go find Yuki and the others." Haru called to Momiji.

"Yay! And Tohru too?" Momiji asked, skipping over to him. Haru smiled, amused, and nodded. The two members of the zodiac left their class room and went to find their friends.

"How is student council going Yuki-kun?" Tohru asked the boy.

"Well," he began, speaking in his soft manner, "I guess thing are going ok. At least people are listening to me. Although sometimes I think they take things a little too far…" Yuki glanced around at people waving to him and calling out Yun-Yun (1). Tohru smiled.

"It's nice that they give you a nick-name, I think." Yuki nodded.

"I don't know what it means, but I guess it's nice they care enough to give it to me." No matter how much I dislike it. He added in his head.

"Yo," Tohru and Yuki heard from behind them.

"Hatsuharu-kun, Momiji-kun!" Tohru called out with a grin. Yuki grabbed the back of Momiji's school uniform as he tried to run to Tohru and give her a hug.

"You can't do that here Momiji." Yuki reminded him.

"Awww…" Momiji pouted. He brightened up when Yuki let him go. He and Tohru began a conversation. Yuki tried to follow it, but it soon made his head spin. Instead he turned to Haru.

"Where's Kyo?" Haru asked casually. Yuki blinked.

"I'm not sure." He tapped Tohru on the shoulder. "Honda-san, do you know where Kyo went?" Tohru's face turned slightly worried as she shook her head.

"No… do you think something happened to him? Oh no! What if he fell and hurt himself and turned into a cat and-" a hand covered her mouth and made her stop talking. Yuki looked up to see Kyo with an annoyed look on his face.

"I'm fine. Sensei just wanted to talk to me after class."

"Are you getting such bad grades that she thinks you're as stupid as I do?" Yuki asked. Kyo balled his free hand into a fist. Tohru mumbled something no one could hear under Kyo's hand.

"Such your trap you damn rat. I'm not in the mood to put up with you." Kyo removed his hand from Tohru's mouth, shoved both hands into his pockets, and walked away from the quiet group. Everyone followed him in silence. Haru spoke up after a few minuets.

"I'm comin' over to Sensei's house with you guys. I need to talk to Yuki here." Haru put an arm around Yuki's shoulders. Yuki gave him a confused look, but nodded. When they got out of the school, Momiji had to leave the group. Tohru asked him if he wanted to come over, after apologizing to Yuki and Kyo for inviting someone over without asking them first.

After they got it settled out that Momiji had to go home right away, the four of them left continued on to Shigure's house. Yuki and Kyo stayed quiet for the most part, but Haru and Tohru were having a conversation about Kisa. Haru had seen her recently and Tohru missed her. When they got home Shigure was nowhere to be seen.

"Figures, the idiot must've taken off to avoid his editor again." Kyo said, ripping a note off the door.

I have been called to an urgent family meeting. I do not know how long I will be gone. Don't come and find me unless you want trouble.

Shigure

Kyo read this aloud to the rest of them.

"Yup, he's bluffing alright. He'd never be asked to come to the main house. Akito doesn't trust him anymore." Kyo finished, sticking the note back on the door. He led Tohru into the house, but Haru held Yuki back.

"Nh?" Yuki muttered, confused.

"I've got somethin' to bring up with you." Haru reminded him with a grin. He led Yuki onto a path that went though the woods surrounding Shigure's house. "You may remember a while ago that I told you to call Tohru by her name (2)."

"Yes." Yuki didn't feel the need to lie to Haru.

"You still call her 'Honda-san'."

"Why does it bother you Haru?"

Haru stopped walking.

"Well, let me tell you something first. I overheard you talking to Tohru that day at the summerhouse (3). You said something like 'I apologize for telling you those things that you didn't understand; I hope that you will forget them. But I won't forget about kissing you.' So, obviously, I knew you had kissed Tohru." Haru stopped to see how Yuki would react.

Yuki's face had turned red and he had something of a glare in his eyes. Haru didn't really think he was mad at him knowing, just mad that he brought it up.

"Now, the reason why it bothers me you don't call her Tohru… it should make sense to you now. You've kissed a girl who you won't call by her real name. That doesn't make very much sense Yuki." Yuki stared at the ground.

"I can't explain why I don't call her Tohru most of the time. I guess all those years of just being classmates stuck."

"Don't give me that shit Yuki. I know that girl is more to you that just a classmate now."

"I'm not trying to say she's just my classmate!" Yuki buried one of his hands in his hair in frustration. "You always try to ask people difficult questions Haru."

"I know. I know I ask difficult questions Yuki. I do it on purpose. Because I know a part of you wants to know why you don't call her Tohru just as I do. But you wanna know what else I know? You don't want to clue anyone in on your feelings, not even Tohru and especially Kyo.

"You feel like you're competing with Kyo for Tohru's attention. But you're still too afraid to tell anyone. So now, here we are, me telling you what you know you feel."

"Th-that's not true! This has nothing to do with that stupid cat."

"But you won't deny anything else."

"No, I won't Haru." Yuki stared at Haru defiantly, and Haru stared back. After a moment Haru's face spread into a grin. He clapped Yuki on the back.

"Well alright then." Haru turned Yuki around, and they started heading back towards the house. Tohru stood on the deck overlooking the forest. She smiled and waved when she saw the two of them coming back to the house. Yuki couldn't help but grin himself.

"By the way Haru," Yuki turned to the other boy. "I don't know what you were thinking, but I kissed Tohru on the forehead." Haru shrugged.

"I didn't think you had the courage to do anything really intimate."

"Hey, what do you mean?" Yuki called after him. Haru just smiled.
