Oh yah I always forget this:
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Fruit's Basket, as much as I'd like to own Haru.(Or Kyo, or Shigure, or Akito, or Hatori,or Yuki, well you get it)
I'm learning to accept it. Slight language in this chappie

Chapter 8: A Comfy Beginning Part 2

Tohru clicked on the bathroom light. She grabbed some cotton balls, hydrogen peroxide to clean the wounds, and a wet cloth to clean off the blood. She switched off the light and walked quickly back to Kyo's room. She didn't expect that much blood.
She also didn't expect Kyo to be so..hot. ( Meanwhile everyone else on the planet noticed it the first episode/book)
He was very tan, and his lifelong martial arts lessons didn't hurt him either. He had a slim build, not too much muscle,
not too little. She breathed deeply to calm herself, and slid the door open to his room. She set the peroxide down on his nightstand, and kneeled by his side. She doused a cotton-ball and gripped Kyo's shoulder slightly.
" This will hurt a bit," she said quietly.
Kyo nodded, and braced himself slightly. He held his breath. She turned him slightly so his back was facing her. She slightly whisked the ball across the scratches. Kyo inhaled sharply. "Ahh!"
"I'm sorry, I know it hurts, but you have to get the wounds cleaned, or it won't heal."
Kyo turned to face her. " I just wanna say-uh, thank you, for doing this. You don't have to do it, you know,"
Tohru went slightly red. " But.. I want to," she said quietly, turning redder.
Kyo grabbed her hand gently. Her heart began pounding. She was determindedly looking at the floor so he couldn't see her face.
He was leaning in very close, too close to her face.
Kyo could feel Tohru's warm sweet breath on his cheek. She stared at his lips, then looked directly into his eyes. Kyo was a mere 2 inches from her face. He smiled slightly, as Tohru was nearly cross-eyed trying to stare at his face. She parted her lips slightly.
Kyo turned his face slightly, leaned in even closer, and.
Yuki burst into the room. Kyo and Tohru both jumped. Yuki's eyebrows furrowed. " Kyo, what were you doing?" he said suspiciously.
Kyo cleared his throat. " Uh, Tohru was cleaning my wounds," he said gruffly. Frankly, he was pissed that Yuki had come into the room at that exact moment. God I hate that rat, he thought.
" Uh, Yuki, hi. Are you hungry? I can make you something to eat," Tohru said, somewhat nervously.
" Hello, Tohru, yes that would be fine. Haru is here too."
Kyo froze. What the hell was he doing here? Tohru nodded, stood up, and looked at Kyo, with a kind of apologetic look on her kind face. She walked out of the room, her head slightly down. She shut the door quietly. " Ok, you baka cat, tell me what was really going on here," Yuki demanded.
Without warning, Kyo exploded.
" What the hell are you talking about, you damn rat?! First you burst into my room, then you think you can make orders and expect me to follow them? Who do you think you are!"
" If I find out you're...manipulating Tohru somehow-"
" Why don't you tell that to your new boyfriend downstairs, you fag!"
Yuki narrowed his eyes dangerously. " You're lucky you're injured right now, or I'd send you flying out of your bedroom window," Yuki breathed venomously.
" Yah, I'm sooo lucky," Kyo muttered, " Just get the hell out, ok? And don't come back."
"Whatever, baka," Yuki said, then walked out the room, slamming the doow so hard it bounced back and only closed about half-way. Kyo heard him stomp down the stairs.
" No need to have a hissy-fit, girly-boy," He muttered to himself. Though, he felt like having one himself about now.
Damn Yuki! He was -this close- to kissing Tohru! He was super-pissed. He growled slightly, and flung the covers back.
He really felt like a shower about now. ( No, not a cold shower, sickos!) He grabbed a some towels from the linen closet, and slammed the door loudly.
He also slammed the bathroom door when he walked into the bathroom. He threw the towels on a nearby surface and sighed.
He then unbuckled his pants and undressed. He threw the clothing somewhat unceremoniously into a corner. He walked to the shower,
and turned the heat on full blast. He stepped in, and let the hot water flow over his body. He sighed slightly, and rubbed his hair with his hands. He closed his eyes and thought of Tohru....letting his mind wander.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Tohru had finished making some stew for Yuki and Haru ( or rather, heating up some leftovers)
when she walked to the bottom of the staircase, and craned her neck to stare up the stairs. She gripped the banister.
" Kyo?" she called timidly. She did not hear the water running, the TV was on and Shigure was singing along to a commercial jingle. Kyo did not hear a thing either, the running water was flowing too loud and he was lost in his own thoughts.
Tohru began to feel a little worried. He should really come down and eat something, she thought. Maybe he's scared of Haru.
She saw how he froze when his name was merely mentioned. Nonetheless, he needs to eat, she said making up her mind.
She walked up the stairs. On the second landing, she called Kyo again. No answer. She knocked on his door softly.
Again, no answer. Then she heard the water running and saw the steam coming out the bottom of the door. ( Kyo likes his showers really really, really hot!) Her breath caught in her chest. She found it exceedingly difficult not to think about Kyo in the shower. She blushed, and mentally shook herself for thinking that way. She cautiously walked up to the bathroom door, and knocked 3times. " Kyo?"
Kyo, of course, heard nothing. He was still standing stock still letting the hot water flow down his back, chest and legs. ( Makes a pretty picture, don't it)
Tohru knocked again, then decided it was no use. She had only one other option. She slowly turned the knob.
The hot air washed over her like a wave. The bathroom was exceptionally steamy. She looked down at the floor, and saw his clothes.
She stopped dead. Kyo was standing there, naked, only about 5 feet away from her! He had gotten out of the shower by then, and was just about to turn off the water. They both stood there, staring at each other, looking absolutely shocked. Kyo's mouth was even hanging open slightly.
Tohru's brained finally turned on again, after about 5 minutes of anguished silence. She turned away quickly and covered her eyes.
" I'm really sorry!" she said shrilly. She was turned completely the other way, still covering her eyes with her hands.
"Uh, it's ok. Um, what did you want?" Kyo said quietly, grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his lower half.
"Oh! I came to tell you, that um your dinner is ready. Oh, but it's probably cold by now, and I inturrupted your shower, and I hurt you when cleaning your wounds, and-"
Tohru felt Kyo's hands on her waist behind her. She slowly dropped her hands. She turned her head to look at him.
Water was still slightly dripping out of his carrot-coloured hair and onto the sides of his face. His cheeks were slightly pink from the heat of the room.
Tohru also felt water. Water on her back, where Kyo was leaning into her. His chest was still wet from the shower. Then- POOF!

AN: Hahahah! I think everyone knows what happened, right! Damn sometimes I wish they didn't have that curse, but then the show wouldn't be half as fun!
Ok, you better be back for chapter 9! Whoo chapter 9 already, and things are just getting started!
