Okay so here's the next chapter. Hope the people you liked this story like the new chapter. This gonna get depressing just to let you know. Plus there most likely will not be lemon, I've decided. Basically I suck when it comes to sex scenes. I can read them, but ask me to write them and it's like giving a mokey a labtop and saying, "Okay BoBo, write what happened between you and ChaCha." I'm not making making sense. I'm sorry. Good grief. Everyone stopped reading after that...Just read the chapter! Please? Now that your all fearing for my sanity. Don't. It's a lost cause.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket. Nor will I ever. I am just using the characters and basic story line. This not how the real story goes. It's all in my head.
Chapter Two
When Kyo walks downstairs, he finds Yuki and Tohru waiting.
"Do I have to go?"
The cat questions.
Yuki gives him a look of death, while Tohru looks disappointed.
"Ah..um..no Kyo-Kun. You don't have to come. I understand."
Kyo couldn't stand to see her sad and Yuki's look was unwanted too.
"No, I'll go." He says.
Tohru's face immediatley lights up.
The cat takes a deep breath to deminish his onslaught of depression.
As the trio walks towards the middle of town, Kyo lags behind.
Yuki kept throwing him dirty looks, and the cat knew it was because of his attitude.
He trully didn't want to make Tohru unhappy.
She was one of the most important people in Kyo's small world.
The other two being Kazuma and of course Yuki.
The cat felt a pain at the thought of yet another memory.
(Flashback)
Two weeks after Kyo's scary encounter, a knock on the door worries the cat.
When six year old Haru enters, Kyo breathes a sigh of relief.
The ox sits down next to the cat and hands him a note.
"It's from Yuki. But it's not much cause he just learned how to write right."
The ox gives a laugh and hops up.
"See ya Kyo." He says before he leaves.
Kyo sits motionless clutching the paper.
When he reads it he finds only nine words that looked as if the had been painstakingly written.
Meet me next year in the garden. March 1st 3:00.
(End Flashback)
"March 1st." Kyo whispers.
"What Kyo-Kun?" Tohru asks.
Both her and Yuki had stopped walking and were looking at Kyo.
"Nothing Tohru."
The cat says quickly.
Yuki doesn't start walking when Tohru does.
He stands there staring at Kyo.
"Did you just say, March 1st?"
The rat questions.
Kyo begins to panic.
He doesn't want to piss Yuki off, by bringing something up the rat obviously wanted to forget.
"Hell no! What's March 1st got to do with anything?"
The cat spits in what he hopes in a convincing manner.
"March 1st is in a couple of days."
Tohru says standing a few feet away from them.
Yuki's eyes narrow and he scoffs.
"Stupid cat."
As they all begin to start walking, Kyo thinks back to how miserable he was that year he waited to see Yuki agian.
Of course he saw the rat at New Year's for about a second.
That memory too was sour.
(Flashback)
"But why do I have to go mom? I never understood why. All I do is let Akito torture me for a moment, then I have to leave. What's the point?"
Nine year old Kyo asks.
His birthday had been in December and Yuki's in October.
Kyo's mother shoots him a look of hatred.
"How many times have I told you? Disobeying and questioning Akito is the act of an ungrateful child. The head had been nothing but gracious towards us. He's let us live here in the Sohma estate. He could have put us out on the street like the previous cats."
She said the last word with extreme disdain.
Annoyed and none the wiser, Kyo allows himself to be pulled to the main building of the Sohma estate.
When they enter, Kureno appears.
He's only a little taller than Kyo and not too much older.
He doesn't glare at Kyo like everyone else does, but instead smiles.
"Your to come this way Kyo."
Kureno says gesturing to the dreaded hallway.
While the parents and other family members gather together to talk about how cursed they think they are, Kyo follows Kureno.
When they arrive at the room Kyo has grown to hate, Kureno opens the door.
He nods at the cat, who grimaces.
Once he walks into the room, Kyo really wishes he wasn't there.
Akito sat in the low ceilinged room with no windows.
"Kyo come to me. I haven't seen you since March."
The little cat knew he should be scared, but found he wasn't "I'd like to talk to you about something.
Why did you think you could talk to my Yuki?"
Akito asks calmly.
Kyo wondered why Akito thought he could call Yuki 'his'.
What gave him that right?
"Kyo answer me!"
The cat looks into Akito's hat filled eyes.
"I don't know what your talking about."
Kyo says trying to keep emotion at bay.
Akito started to get angry.
"You were talking to my Yuki and I'd like to make one thing clear. He is mine and mine only!"
The Sohma God begins to shout.
"Do you dare to defy me Kyo? Do you wish to be punished?"
Kyo doesn't move or speak.
This seemed to only anger Akito more.
"Your not listening. HE'S MINE!" Kyo sighs.
"Fine. Yuki is yours. We can't be friends. I understand."
Akito stops throwing a fit.
He looks at Kyo intently.
"Good. I'm glad you understand. But to make sure you don't forget,you and your mother can no longer live here. You must move somewhere else. Good-Bye."
The cat was dumbfounded as Kureno lead him out of the room and into a smaller one.
Someone was apparently telling his mother the bad news and a shriek could be heard through out the whole house.
Yuki quickly steps into the room and says, "I'm sorry Kyo. I wish we could still be friends. Please still meet me at the main gate next year. March 1st 3:00. I promise to be there.Good-bye."
Yuki gives the cat a little kiss, something Kyo had never experienced.
Just then a tall man drags Kyo's hysterical mother into the room.
"I hate you. Retched boy. You've cursed me for all eternity."
(End Flashback)
Kyo found himself standing in front of the store.
Yuki and Tohru must have already gone in leaving the cat to his memories.
This most recent one pained Kyo awfully.
The cat had found out why his mother had been so angry.
She had apparently been having an affair with a member of the inner Sohma family who had cheated Akito out of some money.
Shortly after Kyo's mother killed herself, the cat when to study at Kazuma's dojo.
Kyo walks into the store and glances around in search of Yuki and Tohru.
He spots them near the produce and rushes over.
"Oh there you are Kyo-Kun. I wondered where you had gone to."
The girl picks up a bundle of leeks and places them in the cart.
Kyo almost exploded.
The sight of the foul food brings back Kyo's most horrid memory, which also happened to be his secong meeting with Yuki.
(Flashback)
"Kyo where are you going?"
Kyo's mother asks.
"To visit Kagura."
Kyo replies trying not to grimace.
His mother looks uncertain, then nods.
Little Kyo runs as fast as he can to the Sohma estate.
When he reaches the gate, he finds Yuki sitting on the Sohma side.
He was staring at Kyo through the bars in amazement.
"You came." He says.
"Of course. Your my boyfriend. I wouldn't forget you."
Kyo replies coming to sit in front of the rat.
Yuki smiles and puts his face as close to the bars as he can.
Then he pushes his arms through too.
Kyo comes forward and takes the rat's hands.
They sit and talk about how much they wish they could play freely, till a loud crash sounds from the main house.
"I have to go Kyo. Akito is looking for me."
Sure enough, Haru comes running out a moment later looking frantic.
"You'll pay for this Yuki, if you don't hurry up."
Yuki looks at Kyo then pulls the cat's hand to his mouth.
He places a kiss on one of the knuckles.
"I'll see you Kyo."
The two boys part with promises to meet the following year on the same day and time.
Kyo watches the rat run out of his sight and disapear into the house.
When the cat returns home, he's met by a dreadful sight.
Kyo's mother hung from the rafter, a make-shift noose around her neck.
The house smelt of leeks.
She had made dinner before ending her life.
(End Flashback)
"Leeks!" Kyo screeches as he comes back to the present.
Tohru jumps then looks sheepish.
"Sorry Kyo-Kun. I'll put them back."
Yuki steps forward.
"No Honda-San. Continue your shopping. I need to talk to the cat."
The rat drags Kyo away to the pet aisle.
"Seems perfect." He sneers.
"Now see here. I've had just enough of you and your strange behaviour. Be nice to Honda-San. She's done nothing to you."
Kyo glares at Yuki.
" I know that. I would never want to hurt here just like I would never want to hurt you."
Too late, Kyo realizes what he's said.
Yuki looked astonished.
"I-I didn't mean that."
Kyo says and then he runs from the store.
How could he say something so stupid.
Yuki would most likely never talk to him ever agian.
So there you have it. I want to say something that will most likely be pointed out to me. I think Yuki, Haru, Kyo and all the other members of the zodiac were proably wise for their age. Even at six I see Haru being the same smart ass he is at seventeen. See what I mean? Well Review please. Flames welcome. I just want to see where people sit with this story.
