Chapter 9
It Bleeds
*I don't own Fruits Basket. This is a bit of a naughty chapter. Just a bit. You've been warned. :-)*
Yuki walked back to the guest house. Each breath he took ended in steam from the cold. The amount of lack of sleep he was forcing on his body was almost inhumane.
Yet, he still didn't feel like sleeping. It felt almost like a crime to not take advantage of the darkness and sleep in on one of his nights off from his night job.
He imagined having Tohru lay next to him. He knew he would have no trouble sleeping then.
It was still early enough that most of the outer Sohma's where still awake. The lights in their houses where still on. He saw them through the windows. Laughing. Talking. Enjoying their meals and eachother's company, or so it appeared.
Who knew what really went on behind closed doors.
Tonight, everything looked like it was straight from the Hallmark channel. He, however, felt like he was in a Lifetime movie, with his crazy girlfriend and all.
Or perhaps EX-girlfriend. He could go for that. He didn't care.
Yuki knew he wouldn't have to be alone tonight. He could go back to Shigure's, but he really didn't want to deal with Akito when she returned. He could go back to Haru, but he didn't want to deal with Haru's advances on him. Plus, he probably wanted to shag Rin. Not that Haru wouldn't want him to join.
Yuki shuddered at the thought.
What he really wanted was to spend more time with Tohru. Alone. Cat-less.
Instead, he figured he would go back to the guest house, take a hot bath, and jack himself off to sleep.
He entered the guest house. No one was there yet. Yuki nodded at the receptionist and walked down the hall to his room. He knew that Tohru and Kyo where the room right adjacent to his.
Great.
His goal was to hopefully knock himself out to sleep so he wouldn't have to hear them. Hopefully Tohru would be too tired from the long day of cooking to do anything with that fucking cat.
Yuki threw off his clothes and drew a bath. The water was piping hot. Plus he didn't have to deal with any mysterious black gunk stuck to the bottom of the tub that his crazy girlfriend created.
That was always a plus.
As the water ran, he walked out to the kitchen stark naked. He opened the fridge. There was a ton of food to choose from. Yuki knew that the majority of this food would go to waste.
He never let food go to waste back in his apartment. He worked too hard for it, sacrificing nights of sleep. It was so wasteful of the Sohma's.
He opened a pantry and saw a bag of Dove dark chocolate. He grabbed a few pieces and went back to the bath. He noticed the closet had a plethora of different spa items.
Lavendar bubble bath, rose bath bombs, white gardenia salts, sparkly champagne shaped bubble bath bottles, all sorts of things.
Yuki didn't know the difference between any of them, so he grabbed the lavendar bubble bath. He had heard that lavendar helped people sleep.
All his life, he was treated like he was a woman. Boys back in his highschool lusted after him. People liked to dress him up in dresses. (He looked a little too good in them too), he liked small, nonfat vanilla lattes, he had long eyeslashes, so many girly things about him.
"Maybe that's what I am." Yuki thought to himself angrily. "I'm a girl. That's why Kyo won Tohru. Tohru doesn't like girls like that." Yuki slunk his body under the water up to his mouth.
After the bath he lay in bed with a bottle of red wine and turned on the large tv that was attached to the top of the ceiling. It felt so extravagent after two years of living in a usually trashed apartment.
He even had porn channels. He watched a few. None of them did anything for him. He knew the girls where faking it.
He turned the channel. Dragon Ball Z.
Not exactley what he wanted to jack off to.
Next channel. Pee Wee's playhouse. Uh, no.
He turned the channel again. A radio channel was playing PJ Harvey.
"Oooooohhhh yeah" He said giddely.
What would his former classmates think of him getting off to this music? It got him hot. He loved it.
"Some prince I am" he thought to himself.
Just what he needed to hear. He was actually starting to feel a false sense of wellness. After dealing with that stupid cat, he thought he would go days without sleep. This wasen't so bad.
It was probably the time he got to spend with Tohru. That would keep him in a better mood for the next few days, or whenever he would think about it.
After he got himself off, he fell asleep.
2:30 AM.
Clunk...clunk...clunk...clunk...squeak...squeak.
Yuki opened his eyes to the noise. He looked at the clock. Ugh.
It took a moment for him to register the noise that woke him. Oh no. No no no no no no...
He could tell it was coming from the room adjacent to his. Just what he wanted to avoid hearing.
He jumped up from his bed and immediately put on his clothes. He grabbed the keys to the room and burst out his door.
In the hallway, he couldn't avoid it. He heard it. The moaning.
A female moaning.
He couldn't resist listening for a little longer than he thought he wanted.
It was a very perverted peeping tom feel crawling all over him.
The moaning sounded awfully womanly. Not like sweet little Tohru's voice.
Then he heard Kyo say "Oh damn! Ugh! Yeah!"
Yuki gagged, covered his ears and ran down the hallway.
"Kyo made her a woman right? Guess she's going to start sounding like one." Yuki thought to himself furiously.
He couldn't stop hearing that moan in his head. Really, how could she sound like such a woman? Sure, she was techinically a woman, but this just sounded like a 40 year old woman in her sexual peak.
"Woaahhh Tohru..." Yuki's head was spinning as he walked far away from the guest house in the dark.
Everyone had gone to bed. No lights where on. He felt shocked and more alone than ever.
Where would he go? He could't go back knowing what had just happened there with his one and only.
Akito would likely be back by now. He wouldn't go to Shigures. He walked in that direction anyway.
Maybe she wouldn't come back the rest of the night. Maybe Shigure would be sitting on the porch having a very early morning smoke as he so often did.
That novelist had a sleep schedule all his own.
Yuki felt himself calming down. His anger was slowly turning to a deep depression. At least he got about 5 hours of sleep.
"Yuki?"
He looked up to the sweet voice that said his name.
There she was.
"T-T-T-Tohru!?" Yuki was at a loss for words.
"Are you okay?" Tohru asked concerned. She certainly didn't look like she had just had sex.
She looked more like she had been cooking for hours, waiting on people hand and foot. Which is exactly what she did.
Yuki was speechless, his lower lip felt like it was going to fall to the floor.
Who was Kyo fucking back at the guest house?
He had only been away from the guest house for about 5 minutes. There was no way that was her back there.
Yuki felt a sense of dread fill him. How could that fucking cat do this behind her back? How?
Yuki realized he was staring awkwardly at Tohru.
The wind blew from her direction and he could smell the sweet rose strawberry scent of her hair.
Oh Tohru...sweet Tohru.
