Sorry Guys I accidentally left out this part of Ch.1!!! -Samantha SpEcTaCuLaR
A/N I DO NOT OWN FRUITS BASKET!
Yuki's POV continued
The crisp winter air and the shining sun made me wonder. How could winter be winter with a sun like this? Then I realized, how could I stay me, with my mask of no emotion, with Tohru around? I know, that I can't keep that mask. I don't want to, she has shown me the real world, and it is good. I will throw it away, cast it out of my life and be a somewhat normal teenager. But I know I will never be normal, I'm a Sohma. But I will try to throw it out. She is the only person who can help me do that.
I heard running footsteps behind me, coming fast too. I instinctively whipped around and took a fighting stance, but then I loosened up as I saw Tohru come running from the bushes. She cried out, "YUKI! YUKI! Wait! I had something to say to you."
Tohru's POV
"YUKI!" I yelled. My lungs wanted to collapse, but my feet kept on running towards him.
"Yes Ms. Honda, what is it that is so urgent?" He said with a worried look across his face. Once I reached him I fell on my knees, in the dry grass at his feet. Yuki quickly kneeled down in front of me and moved my hair out of my face. I had tears in my eyes, because I was in agonizing pain. The fall had hurt, and my sides were pinching my lungs. My hands were dry, and my clothes were dirty from falling into a trench before I had caught up to him.
"Ms. Honda, please don't cry, what is it?" He asked tenderly as he stroked my cheeks. I looked up at him, and just started sobbing. He scooted closer to me, and held my hand and just let me cry on his shoulder. His skin was so warm. I wanted to hold him, and him hold me. But why? Why, did he have to be cursed? I want to be with him for the rest of my life!
After maybe 15 minutes, I stopped crying and sniffling, and he took both of my hands and turned towards me.
"Now, what is it you wanted to say. I am here. Just talk, and I will listen." I felt another sob ball up in my throat but I swallowed it. I gained up my confidence, and then spat it out.
"Yuki...I love you. That's why I was crying. Because I know. I know we can never be together. Akito. He, He'll hurt you!" I sputtered.
"Tohru, don't worry about me getting hurt. If you want to be together, we can be. I know how to deal with Akito. But we just have to keep it quiet for now." he whispered to me. Then as if on cue, he leaned into me, and kissed my neck softly. "I, love you too." He whispered in my ear afterwards.
A/NOk, that's all for now. this chapter will be continued soon!
