*I do not own Fruits Basket

Chapter 11

Capacity to Give Him All He Needs

After punching Kyo, Yuki decided to walk to a nearby shop to get Tohru a present. He wanted her to feel special after the night before. It was probably pointless, but he wanted to do somthing special for her.

After all, it's exactly what she would do for him.

He decided to get her some chocolate.

"Women love chocolate, don't they?" he thought to himself.

He got her dark chocolate with sea salt caramel filling.

When he arrived back at the guesthouse, Kyo was gone. Yuki figured he was off fuming somewhere, getting medical attention, or perhaps looking for him.

Yuki didn't care, he was just curious to see if Tohru was still in his room sleeping.

She was there, but she wasen't sleeping.

The slight elation Yuki was feeling plummetted as he walked into his room.

Tohru had taken to chugging the wine from the cabinets that the Sohma's so kindly provided.

Yuki was pretty sure that Tohru had never been a drinker, but who knows what habits she picked up since being with Kyo.

"Oh Yuki! *hic!* You're back!"

"Oh no...Tohru" Yuki smacked his forhead.

"It's okay Yuki! I'm feeling alot better!"

She stumbled onto the ground as she tried to run toward him. Yuki hurried over and helped her stand up.

"Yuki?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think I'm pretty?"

"Uh-um...well yes, you look lovely. You always do." Yuki blushed and looked away.

"Kyo doesn't think I'm pretty."

"Hey Tohru" Yuki looked back at her intensley.

"Yes? *hic!*" Tohru smiled

"Kyo is a piece of shit. Your boyfriend is pansy. I kicked his ass this morning."

Yuki couldn't believe what just came out of his mouth. Perhaps he only felt so bold to say it since she was so intoxicated.

"Oooohhh no! Oh my! He'll need some tea! *hic!*" Then she giggled a little.

Yuki gave her a big smile as he set her on the bed.

"I wouldn't worry about that Tohru. He'll be fine. Why don't you lay down for a while? You've had too much to drink."

"Okay, I will. With you." She wrapped her arms around Yuki's neck as she tried to lay back with him.

Yuki pulled back up with her arms still around his neck.

"Yuuuki! What's wrong!? Don't you want to keep me warm?"

"Oh man she is gone" Yuki thought to himself

"I'll get you some more covers if you're cold." Yuki said uncomfortably.

"No. I need you. Your so skin is so warm." Tohru purred as she burrowed her face into his neck.

Yuki felt himself get hard.

He needed to get out of there before he did somthing he would regret.

"Tohru...you're not yourself right now. It's the wine talking, lets talk later when your feeling better."

Then she started to kiss him on the lips.

This was so not the Tohru that Yuki ever knew.

He felt like he was being pulled underwater, suffocating in her kiss. But in a very good way.

She was a sloppy kisser when she drank. It felt like she was licking at his lips like a dog. She pried with her tongue trying to french kiss him. Finally he opened his mouth to let her in. He didn't mind the taste and smell of the wine.

Then his senses returned. He broke the kiss.

"Tohru, no-this isen't right"

He sounded so cliche.

He broke apart from her and frantically grabbed some extra covers from the closet and threw them over her.

Then he went to the liquor cabinet, locked it and stuck the key in his pocket.

He looked back at Tohru, once again unconscious in his bed.

"Uhhhh...Kyo...no...no" She cried softly in her sleep.

"That bastard." Yuki growled under his breath.

He couldn't believe what just happened. He could still taste the wine from her mouth. Her tongue had been in his mouth...

If only, if only that would have happened while she was sober and not upset.

It was like a perverse enactment of the many daydreams he had about her.

He decided she would probably be out for a while.

He needed a shower. A very, very cold shower.

He went to the bathroom and ripped off his clothes.

He got himself off and then climbed into the shower letting the cold water run over him.

It worked. He put his clothes on quickely and went into the living room. He saw the chocolates he had bought Tohru on the table.
He had forgotten about them.

He got a piece of paper and wrote "Eat these and feel better" and taped it to the box of chocolates.
He wasen't sure if she should eat chocolates with a hangover. He'd stay with her until she woke to decide if she should eat them.

He sat back in his chair as she slept in his bed.

He was amazed at seeing Tohru so, what's the word?

"Horny" he whispered to himself.

He always figured that she underneath had urges like almost everyone. She just always seemed so innocent and pure. Good at hiding it.

To think she had done the deed with her cousin.

Thats right, she wasen't so pure anymore, he thought to himself.

Damn that cat for tainting her.

A few hours past. Yuki did nothing but sit there and reflect. He wanted to make sure she was okay. Kyo never came by calling for her.
He probably didn't care where she was.

She finally woke.

"Owwww" she put her hand on her forhead.

"You had a little too much. I think I should make you some ginger tea this time" Yuki got up and started to prepare it for her.

Normally she would jump up and demand that he relax while she make the tea. She didn't. She must have felt pretty bad.

As he finished making the tea he poured her a cup and brought it to her.

"Thank you so much." She smiled

Then reality hit her. What was she doing in Yuki's bed?

"Uh! Kyo!? Uh-where? uh-"

Yuki cut her off

"I'm sorry Tohru. We fell asleep at the table last night when we where talking. I didn't know where else to carry you. Kyo was...occupied last night. Didn't want to bother him. I knew you'd be more comfortable here"

Then he felt bad for mentioning Kyo.

"Oh yes...that's right. Thank you Yuki. You're a good friend." She looked sad.

"I'm sorry..." Yuki looked to the ground.

She didn't seem to remember what she did with him hours before. Thank god.

"No it's okay...things have been a little rough lately. He needs a break from me." She finally frowned.

Yuki put his arm around her. It appeared she was finally ready to talk.

"I love him Yuki. I love him so much" she started to tear up.

"How could you love him?"

"I know you've never liked him. But I just, I just can't explain it! I just need to try harder! Mom always told me to do my best. I don't think I have!"

"Tohru. You shouldn't have to try at all. She also told you to just be yourself right? Kyo should love you for who you are.
If he doesn't, then it's not meant to be. He's not worth the pain."

He put his forhead to hers and nuzzled her. Then he kissed the top of her head.

"Yuki-I can't. I love him! I can't lose him!"

Tohru burst out into tears.

Yuki looked away uncomfortably, out the window.

He saw Kyo. Kyo, who was sitting on a bench next to Kagura, with his arm on her leg. Rubbing it up and down. Kagura rubbed his stomach where Yuki had punched him. He winced, then looked at her lustfully. He said somthing.
Kagura laughed flirtatiously.

Kyo looked around, as if to see if anyone was looking.

"Damn him"

*Whew! That's all I have for today. Thanks for reading!*
