Chapter One

Author's Note: Woot I am working on another fic. I have made an odd couple: KazumaxKyo but hey the yaoi fans mind can wonder freely, ne? I do not own Fruits Basket in any way…..Hope everyone enjoys and read and review! Oh and I am looking for a beta reader…weird for me to be asking this of you since you are probably saying on with the fic. already! Teheheh I shall but please beta reader wanted!

Kazuma sipped the last bit of his tea before setting the cup down on the table. The small chime danced in the wind, its melody echoing throughout the dojo. He remembered how Kyo had told him it was stupid to drink tea in a place where you were supposed to fight. And Kazuma would answer that he enjoyed the dojo better than he did his house.

Two months had passed since Tohru had witnessed Kyo's true form. He was amazed at the girl's spirit but at the same time he was jealous of her.

Kyo walked into the dojo, his eyes looking around until he found his Shishou.

"Shishou, would you like some more tea?" Kyo asked when he noticed Kazuma's cup was empty.

"I thought you didn't like me drinking tea in the dojo and now you are asking if I would like some more," answered Kazuma.

"Well there is no point in arguing with you since you always end up winning. So would you like me to get you another glass or not?"

Kazuma smirked at Kyo's statement. True, Kazuma always seemed to win the arguments they had, but that was due to Kyo giving up. He stood, grabbing his cup as he did so. "Iie, I have had enough tea for now but thank you."

Kazuma sat in his garden that faced the dojo, watching Kyo wash its floors. This was the routine Kyo did on the days he arrived to visit Kazuma. They would clean, spar for a bit, and finally enjoy each other's company. Kagura had finally stopped coming the same time Kyo did, realizing he wanted his sensei's company and not hers. Also, it was only when Kazuma was alone with Kyo did he see the teen's real self that he hid from other's.

Yes, it was true that Kazuma had taken Kyo in when he was small, raised him, and taught him martial arts. He had told Tohru that Kyo was his son and that he loved the boy. These things were true as well except that the love he had for the teen was more than a father/son love.

When he realized that he loved the boy that way, he was sick of himself. He knew it was wrong and that it would be devastating if Akito found out. But that was okay, Akito never frightened him. He knew that he could protect Kyo and himself from Akito's wrath.

"Shishou?" asked Kyo which shook Kazuma out of his thinking. He noticed the teen dripping with sweat but a proud look on his face. "I finished cleaning the floors, Shishou. Is there anything else you need me to do before I prepare dinner?"

Kazuma smiled up at the boy. "Iie, you have done enough for today. I will help you prepare dinner for tonight."

"Demo, Shishou, I can do it," protested Kyo but when Kazuma stood he hushed. Kazuma put a hand on the boy's shoulder, squeezing it gently.

"You come down here and do all this for me. I know you enjoy it, but let me help you. For just one night and then you can go back to your original routine if it bothers you." Kyo nodded, grumbling. He wanted to help his Shishou the best he could. How could then if Shishou wanted to help? Kazuma started to walk towards the house, Kyo following.

Yuki walked the streets towards the building that Tohru worked at. Finding the normal rail he leaned against, he let out a sigh. The full moon broke through the clouds that moved through the sky, making the teen's hair shine.

He didn't understand why he was in such a slump for the past two months. Yes, he had known that he had feelings for Kyo, that he envied Kyo most. Yet why the slump?

He was brought out of his thinking when an arm was put around his shoulders. He looked up to see Hatsuharu looking down at him in concern.

"Thought I would find you here," said Haru with a smile on his face.

"How did you know I was here?" asked Yuki, blinking.

"Momiji-chan, told me you come to pick up Tohru-kun from work. All he had to do was give me directions," answered Haru.

"Amazing you found your way here," said Yuki. "Wait, why did you come to find me?"

"I can't help but worry when my crush has been acting like a drowned rat for two months straight," answered Haru putting his hands in his pockets and leaning against the rail.

Yuki looked down at the ground. Great, now Haru would be questioning about his slump which he didn't even understand. And he felt bad for worrying Tohru and Haru, possibly even Kyo. Kyo hadn't thrown any punches or said any smart remarks lately. Which even if he had, Yuki probably wouldn't have fought back. Yuki looked up at Haru, who was staring up at the sky. Yuki blinked unsure of Haru's behavior.

"You're quiet," he said.

"There isn't anything to say," replied Haru.

"Demo…you said you came here to look for me. Then you say you are worried about me. People that are worried about someone else will ask questions," said Yuki.

Haru glanced at Yuki, the glance he gave when he was about to change into his "black" self. Yuki froze, about to defend himself. Although, Yuki wasn't expecting Haru to do what he did. Haru wrapped his arms around the other and kissed him deeply. Yuki's eyes widened his knees weakened but he was held strongly by Haru.

Haru broke the kiss, stepping back to look at a blushing Yuki before him. Haru stroked Yuki's bangs, moving them away from his eyes.

"I know that if something is bothering you, it is better for me to wait until you are ready to tell me than ask," said Haru. He noticed Yuki was silent, the blush on his face making him adorable.

"Eh Yuki-kun? Oh, Hatsuharu-kun, it is nice to see you," said Tohru making both Haru and Yuki jump.

"Oh, Honda-san, you are finished," piped Yuki hoping his blush had vanished.

"Hai, I am," answered Tohru. "I am tired; I had to work extra for a lady who sprained her ankle."

"That was helpful. The sooner we get home, the sooner you can get some sleep," said Haru, starting to walk the direction towards home. Tohru followed and soon Yuki did, realizing he didn't feel so lonely.
