Fruits Basket:
Chapter 7
"Alicia-chan!" Usagi-san cried as he ran to her grabbing her hands. "I heard what happened in gym are you ok?"
"I'm fine," Alicia smiled. "Thank you for worrying about me though." Alicia smiled and kissed the top of Usagi-san's head and dropped on of his hands turning to Tohru.
"Do you wanna go now?"
"Sure!"
"Go where?" Usagi-san said looking between the two girls.
"I'm going to buy 'nurse-chan' something to apologies for bugging her." Alicia blushed.
"I WANNA HELP!" Usagi-san cheered.
"We can all help," Yuki-san said with a smile. Usagi-san grabbed Tohru's hand and tightened his grip on Alicia's hands leading them away. It wasn't as hard as Alicia thought it would be to pick out a gift.
"This'll be great!" Alicia laughed holding up the wrapped present.
"I say Alicia-chan stays over to watch some movies."
"Momiji-san we have school tomorrow." Tohru said.
"Ok, we all do our homework then a few movies its not going to hurt us!" Usagi-san pleaded using his big eyes to help persuade Tohru.
"Why not?" Everyone turned to see Kyo leaning against the store building his arms folded over his chest legs slightly out in front of him. "Besides I could use some help on my math." He said giving a 'I-could-careless-what-happens' shrug.
"Wow," Usagi-san said looking at Kyo. "Kyo willing to do something I suggested?" He muttered to himself then laughed. "SEE EVEN KYO'S WILLING TO DO IT!" He laughed in amazement.
Alicia looked at Kyo, who looked back at her. She laughed and gave him a huge bright smile, a little take back Kyo shook his head and walked to her putting a hand on her head and smiled. "We should go catch up with the others." Alicia nodded holding the present to her chest. Usagi-san led the group to a nearby video store and pilled up the videos. Ranging from romantic to horror.
"Hello Shigure-san!" Alicia smiled as she kicked off her shoes.
"My," Shigure-san smiled looking Alicia up and down. "That uniform is very pretty on you."
"Thank you." As Alicia left to go into the living room while Kyo went by he glared Shigure-san.
"Kyo-san sit by me, I can help you with your math and English."
Kyo blushed slightly, but sat by her none the less. Everyone got out their homework and by dinner time everyone was done.
Alicia fell back on the floor tired, her hand hurt from writing so much, the homework was ridiculous she'd never worked so hard on it before.
"Time for movie!" Alicia smiled sitting back up.
"We can eat dinner and watch them, Tohru-chan I'll help with dinner!" Alicia said jumping up to help.
"Kay," Tohru smiled a few minuets later they came out carrying plates and bowls. "Dig in!"
Everyone started eating and Usagi-san put in a movie and everyone ate and watched the movie.
By the end of the movie Alicia was circled up asleep with Usagi-san and Tohru. Kyo looked down at Alicia, who was laying next to him, her head on his leg, he carefully moved some stray hair from her face giving a small peaceful smile as she sighed. Kyo turned his head to the one of the sliding doors where Kazu-san stood.
"Shishou, did you come to get Alicia-chan?"
"Yes."
"She's asleep." Kyo said, carefully moving her.
"Can you carry her back for me? I hurt my foot coming over here." He said with a smile.
"I can't-"
Kazu-san smiled. "Give her a piggy back ride, we'll put a sheet between you."
Kyo smiled. "I guess." Kazu-san helped get Alicia on Kyo's back.
"I can carry her bag." Kazu-san smiled and picked up her school stuff and shoes.
The walk back to the dojo was quiet and nothing was really said. Once at the dojo Kazu-san put her shoes by the others and then put her bag and what not in the kitchen.
"Kyo, just carry her to her room please."
"Kay." He nodded and started to carry her to her room. Kyo gently laid her down on the futon then turned to look at her. She had the sheets all twisted around her legs and was holding it close to her chest.
Kyo smiled and moved some more of her hair out of her face, Kyo's light touch caused her to stir.
"Kyo?" She asked sitting up and grabbing his hand.
"Sorry Alicia-chan."
Alicia gave a tired smile. "It's ok, can you hand me my bag. I wanna check to see if I got any of my inhalers in there."
"Kay." Kyo handed her, her bag and she opened it.
"Good, I have some." She said tiredly w/ a yawn.
"I'll let you get some sleep." Kyo said getting ready to leave.
"Kyo," she whispered.
Kyo looked back her and got worried. "What is it? Are you ok?" He asked feeling her face.
"I'm fine it's just…" she blushed slightly.
"What?"
"Well I'm a huggy person, I wanna give you a hug, but I know you don't like hugs." She sighed and started to lay down.
"If…if its just us I guess a few hugs every once in a while would be fine." Kyo said not looking at her.
But Alicia was looking at him. "Really? And you won't give me a crappy hug?"
Kyo smiled and nodded his head, at this Alicia lunged at him hugging him tightly, it took a few seconds before he hugged back before he turned into an orange cat.
Alicia sat on her legs and smiled. "YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!" She said picking him up and cradling him in her arms scratching behind his ear.
"Oh that feels nice." Neko-Kyo purred.
Alicia smiled and kissed the top of his head, between his ears. While Kyo was in his cat form Alicia just petted him till he was nearly asleep, then he changed back. Alicia blushed crimson red and pushed the naked Kyo off her lap turning around with her eyes closed tightly.
"Um…can you hand me my clothes?" Kyo asked slightly uncomfortable.
Alicia held them over her shoulder and waited for Kyo to grab them. "Sorry 'bout pushing you off like that." Alicia said once Kyo had least his pants on.
"It's ok," he smiled, Alicia smiled back, but more about the cute nervous fidget he was doing; playing with his pray beads.
Alicia slowly grabbed his hand in her own brining it to her face. "Kyo, I promise one day, before you die, the cure for the curse will be found." She closed her eyes and the two stayed that way. "After all between Tohru-chan and I it shouldn't take too much longer." She opened her eyes and smiled.
"Tohru-chan is looking too?" He asked at that Alicia's heart dropped.
'That's right, Tohru-chan and Kyo-san are in love and here I am making things harder.' She frowned, but quickly smiled dropping his head. "Yes, she's been working hard so I figured I could help try and lift the curse."
"Oh," he said lightly.
"You better go, it's getting late." She said lightly opening the screen door. Kyo smiled, pulled on his shirt and as he passed her, kissed her forehead and left.
2 years later;
"This is driving me crazy!" Alicia growled letting her head fall on the library desk.
"What?" Alicia looked up and smiled Yuki.
"Hey, Yuki-san," she smiled then sighed looking at the books. "I've looked threw each of these books least 100 times." She dropped one of the books she was holding.
Yuki smiled. "Why don't you take a break, besides cram school is done. Everyone else had already left."
Alicia stretched with a nod. "Kay." She smiled collecting the books and quickly putting them back. She grabbed her bag and pushed in her chair.
"Let me buy you lunch."
"No, Yuki-san," she shook her head.
"Come on you've been looking so hard to find a sure, for nearly 2 years." Yuki laughed.
Luckily puppetry had been very, very, very kind to Yuki-san and Kyo-san. 'Along with every other Sohma,' she smiled as she gave Yuki a side glance. Yuki had grown to about 6' tall, he's maintained his body shape, his voice was also more masculine, the same holds true for Kyo.
Alicia smiled at Yuki's hair, it was growing out a bit, it looked like Ayame's hair. "Let's split it." She smiled.
"Alright." Yuki smiled.
Alicia and Yuki walked next to each other, Alicia happily licked her ice cream cone.
"Alicia-chan," Yuki said.
"Yeah?"
"Your birthday's coming up soon, isn't it? Is there anything you want?"
An image of Kyo in a bow, covering his "gift from God" popped in her head, blushing crimson Alicia kept her head down.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"No, I'm fine." She smiled. "I don't know what I want." She muttered licking thoughtfully her cone. "Maybe a nice dinner with everything." She shrugged. "Nothing big."
"Are you sure?" Yuki asked looking at her sadly.
Alicia nodded. "Yeah, it would be nice if everyone could be there."
"Even my brother?" He asked his face fell.
Alicia laughed. "Yes! I like your brother!"
"What about Akito?"
The air around Alicia seamed to of had frozen over. "If that baka ruins my birthday, I'll skin him alive!" She growled.
Yuki laughed. "That's what I thought." Yuki and Alicia walked up to the Sohma house and walked in.
"Hello!" Alicia called. "We're home!" She gasped as she stared to fall as she was taking off her shoe. She ended up falling against the wall, as Yuki grabbed her wrist and he fell towards her, but stopped with either arm on each side of her head.
"Hey guys," Tohru cheerfully smiled then froze looking at the scene in front of her.
"Hey, Tohru-chan." Alicia smiled as Yuki pushed away and finished taking off his shoes like it was nothing.
Alicia beamed to her as she grabbed her bag and went into the living room.
"ALICIA-CHAN!" Usagi-san cheered as he ran to her and hugged her. Alicia laughed as she hugged the rabbit. "I have the perfect present for you!" Usagi-Momiji cheered jumping out of her arms.
"Oh no, Usagi-san you didn't have to get me anything." Alicia said as she watched Usagi pull out a wrapped box by it's bow. Alicia picked it up and looked at it. "Thank you, Usagi-san I'll open it on my birthday." Alicia smiled.
"No open it now! I can't wait two days!" Usagi said.
Alicia laughed and nodded her head, starting to un-wrap the beautiful paper, and then open the box, pulling out a beautiful crystal snow globe.
"Oh Usagi-san." Alicia smiled looking at him, putting it down and picking him up and hugging him tightly. "How did you know that I liked snow globes?"
