Author's Note: This is my first Fruits Basket fanfic so please be kind. I've only done House MD up until now. And I'm sorry if this seems redundant but here's the much-loved character… KYO!

Kyo: What the hell? Why am I constantly being tugged into every damn fan fiction? Drag the rat in!

Me: Thinks about it. Okay!

Much scuffling is heard but Yuki pops into the frame.

Yuki: Well hello. What's going on?

Kyo: She's insane. She got me and now she's got you.

Yuki: Has you.

Kyo: looks confused. What?

Yuki: She had me and now she has you. Geez, baka. Can't you even learn English? Let's try something easy. Repeat after me. I am a wittle putty tat.

Kyo: What the fu-

Me: Smacks Kyo with a giant ball of yarn. After getting over the initial anger, he bats at it. Smiling, he hits it at Yuki who ducks. I take it away. You have to read my fanfic!

Kyo: Why? It's not like anyone will think it's good!

Yuki: I agree. Your writing sucks.

Me: How's that? I haven't gotten one bad review from either story I've done on House.

Kyo: That's cause no one likes House.

Me: You know what? You've pissed me off so now you're going to pay.

Kyo: snorts What are you going to do?

Kagura suddenly pops into the picture.

Kagura: Kyoooooooooooooooooo! My looooooooooooooooooooooooooove!

Kyo screams and tries to run away but Kagura latches onto him. I turn to Yuki.

Me: You know… if I didn't think that you belonged with Machi more than anyone and Kyo wasn't destined for Tohru… I'd make this is Yuru and not a Kyoru.

Yuki: watches Kagura effectively pin Kyo. You have a point there.


Kyo sighed as he watched Tohru talk with Yuki and her friends. There was a dance coming up and he really wanted to take her but the damn girls in his class were making it difficult to give them a moment of peace. Yuki seemed to sense what he was going to do because he kept deflecting all the attention to himself, but even Kyo could see that it was getting tiresome and he wasn't going it do it much longer. All the girls kept coming up to him promising to be the best date ever and to get him lots of punch and… he honestly didn't know what to do. He had turned down half a dozen proposals just in the last hour! Apparently, he was 'just as desirable as the prince'. Great.

He felt a small hand on his shoulder and looked in back of him to see Tohru. He gave a weak smile and she returned it. Uo watched them closely and rolled her eyes. She knew what was going on.

"So prince," she addressed Yuki. " Who're you taking to the stupid dance?"

Yuki smiled. "I asked Machi earlier this morning and she said yes."

Uo grinned. "And you Tohru?"

Tohru blushed and looked at her feet. She mumbled something and they all strained forward.

"I wasn't asked yet. Well, except by these two guys but I didn't want to go with them."

Hana looked at her. "Who do you want to go with?"

She glanced at Kyo from the corner of her eye and he caught the quick look. Both blushed harder than ever and Tohru shook her head.

"No one!"

The gang just shook their heads and watched as the two battled their hearts out. Some things were just stupid to watch. The bell rang signaling lunch and Uo got up fast, purposely knocking over Tohru's books.

"Oh God! I am so sorry Tohru!"

Tohru just smiled and stooped to pick up her books.

"It's okay. I'll just meet up with you guys."

"You sure?"

She nodded and Uo headed to the door, stopping only to order him to stay with Tohru and make sure she was all right. Kyo sighed at the blatant incentive. He waited until Tohru had her books and came over to him. She noticed that he was staring at her and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Kyo suddenly got nervous.

"Uh…"

Tohru moved closer.

"Are you okay?"

"Tohruwillyougotothedancewithme?"

Her eyes crinkled in confusion and he sighed again.

"Will you go to the dance with me?"

Her eyes lit up and she smiled.

"Of course!"

She slipped her hand into his and tried to pull him towards the lunchroom but he stayed still. She turned back to him.

"Is there something else?"

He nodded. "Will you go with me as my girlfriend?"

She turned beet red in a heartbeat.

"Your girlfriend?"

He shuffled his feet and shook his head.

"Never mind. It was a stupid idea."

He made to walk away but she pulled him back.

"No, no, Kyo. It's not like that. I was just surprised. I would also love to be you girlfriend."

Blushing slightly, she let him tug her slowly to lunch. They were both grinning by the time they reached the cafeteria. Their group smiled at them as they came in. Both were oblivious that it was so obvious to everyone but them. But in matters of the heart, who could say how long it would take?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They held hands on the way home with Yuki rolling his eyes every step of the way. He wasn't one to talk though, since he and Machi were giving each other looks. Love was in the air. When they opened the front door, it was silent. Too silent. The four teenagers tip toed through the house, not wanting to disturb whatever was going on. Quiet was highly valued in this house. But as always, it wasn't ever silent for long.

"Yuki! Come see your older brother in the living room! You know you want to see how splendid I am today!"

Groaning, they headed towards the living room and their eyes widened when they saw what was going on. Machi and Tohru were immediately taken hostage by Mine and shoved behind a curtain that was strategically placed in the doorway. Cloth of every color hung from every surface. It looked as though Ayame's shop had exploded inside of their living room. Ayame chuckled as he heard the girls talking behind the curtain.

"Shigure called me up today and told me that both of your princess's would need dresses so I took it upon myself to make sure they looked fabulous." His eyes sparkled. "Oh, I can just see them now."

He looked over at the boys who were trying to get past him to save the girls from Mine's clutches but Ayame clucked his tongue at them.

"That's just naughty, boys! I'm sure you'll see them nude soon enough!"

There was silence as the two boys just glared at Ayame. Both were blushing though because the second Ayame had said it, they both had to shove down images in their heads. Mine stuck her head out.

"Do you boys have any suggestions of color or length or anything like that?"

Yuki smiled. "I like red on Machi but I really don't mind. Let her pick."

Kyo just nodded and couldn't help buthiss as Ayame slapped him on the back of the head. Shigure shook his head and motioned them towards another room.

"We don't want to disturb the ladies' fun so why don't we move in here. That way the girls won't have to worry about you two trying to spy on them."

Ayame swept into the other room as the others reluctantly followed. They just watched the clock as time ticked by. After about twenty minutes, the girls came into the room. They were blushing as hard as the boys had been earlier and Mine had a proud look on her face.

"Well?" Ayame asked expectantly.

"It went well, boss! Everything is ready so we can make the dresses once we get back to the shop."

"Excellent!" cried Ayame while standing. "We must go then so the lovely ladies will have their dresses! Goodbye, Gure! It's a shame that I wasn't able to spend the night."

Shigure shook his head. "Aya, not in front of the children."

In a flash, they were gone. Everyone blinked and Yuki frowned.

"Did that really just happen?"

Shigure chuckled. "Why are you worried about that when you have two beautiful high school girls sitting next to you? If I were you I would-"

"PERVERT!" Kyo roared. He grabbed Tohru's hand and pulled her and their bags out the door to the back yard. They had a permanent studying spot right where she did the laundry. It was nice to sun themselves in. Yuki also pulled Machi away from Shigure but towards his room. Shigure just smiled to himself and went back to devising ways to torture his editor.

Kyo plopped down into their spot and groaned in disgust.

"Every damn time, I swear."

He felt a soft hand on his leg and looked at Tohru.

"Are you okay?"

Kyo nodded and pulled their books out. They worked in silence for a while until Kyo couldn't wait any longer.

"Tohru? What does your dress look like?"

She smiled at him and continued to study her work. He grew frustrated and gently took the book away from her.

"Tohru?"

"I'm not supposed to tell. Mine said that if I tell, then I wouldn't get it."

"Well," Kyo started, trying to find a way to get her to spill. "Can you at least tell me what color it is? I promise that it's for something important."

Tohru blushed and looked down.

"What?" Kyo asked.

"Black."

"Black?"

She nodded and he frowned.

"Why black?"

She looked worried. "Do you not like black? I could always get her to change it to something el-"

He put a hand over her mouth to shut her up for a second.

" I don't have a problem with black it's just that its an unusual color for you."

She blushed again and smiled.

"It was the only color that would match with your hair. I don't want to look funny standing next to you."

She took her textbook back and started her homework again as he just stared at her. She had chosen her dress to match him. It had never occurred to him that she would do something like that. It may not have seemed very meaningful but he couldn't help but be extremely happy that she was so in tune with him. He watched as the sunlight danced across her face and scooted next to her. Not being able to help himself, he leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She blushed and leaned back to where he was. She rested her back carefully against his chest so he wouldn't transform and they studied out of her book. Perfect.

In the house, Machi was frowning.

"Your brother is strange. He's nothing like you."

Yuki just smiled and took out his math book.

"You wouldn't believe me what he's really like even if I told you. He actually toned it down today."

Machi smiled at him. When Yuki glanced out the window and saw how Kyo and Tohru were sitting, he frowned.

"Stupid cat."

"What?"

Yuki sat down to Machi. "Nothing."

She eyed him curiously.

"Aren't you going to ask what my dress looks like?"

"No. I know nii-san better than that and it wouldn't even do to bother."

She nodded and they went to work.

"It's red."

He smiled.

"I figured as much."

And so the love went on.
