A/N: well I should be working on my research project (due Wednesday) but I'd rather not…so I decided to write out this chapter and look like I'm doing something productive in my school life D

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket…but I do own Len so hands off!

Len sighed heavily as she glanced at the clock for what seemed to be the billionth time that night. "10:47" she whispered out loud and she still wasn't tired. She sat up and threw the thin white sheet off of her legs before swinging them to the ground and standing up. She stretched her flannel covered arms into the air and flinched slightly when her left wrist protested.

"Stupid wrist" she glared at the bandages as if that would help it to heal more quickly, but nothing happened. She stepped out into the hallway and glanced up the top landing of the stairs. She expected to see someone else there, but there was no one. She adjusted her pajama top, one she had borrowed from Tohru, and walked down the hallway.

She glanced into the kitchen, but still saw no one. Why bother looking? She thought to herself at this hour they're all bound to be asleep. Her nose scrunched up for no particular reason and she continued down the hall. She walked into the dining room and glanced around until she was certain that nothing was out of the ordinary.

She sighed once more as she realized she had no clue for what she was looking for, but brushed it off easily. She slid open the sliding door that led to the back of the house and the cool night air comforted her more than the couch could have ever. She took a step out into the night and closed the door behind her.

Len already knew what she was looking for, she was sure this house, like many others, would have the ladder that led to the rooftops. All she needed to do was find it. She began to walk the circumference of the house slowly and quietly just in case she was passing by someone's bedroom.

She was about to give up on finding the said object when she turned the corner of the house, and almost ran into it. "Oh!" she jumped back. "Found you!" she smiled to herself and began to climb up. She approached the top slowly and swung her leg onto the shingled rooftop before hoisting the rest of her body up easily.

Len sat down carefully, making sure she didn't take a wrong step that would cause her to fall off the not-so-faraway ledge. She pulled her knees to her chest, locking her arms around them, and rested her chin in the little nook her knees formed. Never once did she notice the presence of Kyo just on the other side of the rooftop and just when he was about to make himself known, with and angry remark, she began to talk to herself.

"I wonder if I should apologize?" she asked herself while twisting a strand of long hair between her fingers.

Kyo couldn't see the frown that crossed her face but he was confident that it was there.

"But it wasn't really my fault to begin with, blame it on Shigure"

Kyo instantly recognized her unwillingness to admit to another that she was sorry as one he shared with her. He slunk back into the shadows as Len turned her head a bit and froze. At first he was sure that she had seemed him but after a very tense moment she turned away once more. A small sigh of relief managed to escape the boy.

"I wonder if what Shigure said could be true…" her voice trailed off.

"Nah!" she grinned. "I'm not stupid enough to fall in love, and besides both are teenage boys" she put great emphasis on the word 'boys'. "Which means that they're just good-looking perverts" she laughed slightly at her own words.

It took a moment for Kyo to realize that she was referring to him and Yuki but as soon as he realized what her words meant he made himself known.

"Who the hell are you called a pervert?!" he shouted.

Len let out a startled scream while at the same time trying to stand up. Her foot slipped against the wet shingles, from the previous night's rain, and she felt herself stumble backwards—closer to the edge. Her startled face went through a series of different emotions: confusion, realization, and then fear as the heel of her right foot hung off the edge of the rooftop.

Kyo jumped into action when he realized she couldn't regain her balance. Len's arms wheeled around in the air dangerously but despite her efforts she began to fall backwards, over the edge. Her eyes grew wide with fright but before she could release the scream caught in her throat she felt a strong tug at the front of her shirt.

She barely had time to register Kyo's bright orange hair when she felt another, stronger, tug on her button up blouse and a small rip sound before she was thrown back onto the safety of the rooftop.

"What the hell do you think your doing?!" Kyo shouted, loud enough to sound stern but quiet enough to not disturb the others hopefully still asleep. It took a long moment for Len to realize that Kyo had pulled her back away from the roofs edge and she looked up at him.

"Wha--?" was all she could manage before flinching under his glare. "Sorry" she mumbled, still trying to calm her rapidly beating heart.

"You should watch your step next time" he said quietly. Len glared up at him. "Excuse me?" she asked standing up. She reached to adjust her shirt once more, only to realize that the two top buttons had popped off and she was revealing an uncomfortable amount of cleavage.

Blushing she held the two sides of the shirt together with a clenched fist before continuing her argument. "You!" she accused poking a spare finger into his chest. "Were the one who was eavesdropping and the one who startled me to the point that I almost fell to my death" she paused at how odd that sounded before adding: "or serious injury".

A look of guilt crossed Kyo's face before her argued back "Well I save you from falling!" he protested. Len's eyes narrowed "I wouldn't have been falling if you hadn't been eavesdropping now would I?" She instantly knew that Kyo had no more comebacks and she smiled inwardly.

She turned on her heel and started walking away. "Where are you going?!" she heard Kyo's gruff voice behind her. She half-turned and glanced at him "Good night" she said. "Oh, yeah" she added. "I'll be gone when you get home tomorrow, so it was nice meeting you." She waved her hand in the air as if to say good-bye.

"Sayonara" she whispered loud enough for him to hear before she swung her legs onto the ladder and climbed down.

Len returned to the small couch she was to sleep on and glanced at the clock once more. "11: 17" she sighed and closed her eyes.

A/n: well I move into my new house in a few days…I'm really excited about that ;P…not that any of you guys care at all TT
