Disclamier - I don't own Fruits Basket

Okay, I just thought I'd let every one know that I have never been to high school. I am a fresh man and this will be my very first year of High School at Massey Hill Classical. Encouragement is very welcome and appreciated. Enjoy!

Lovers or Just Friends

The exams are finally over. And with next week being the last week of school and graduation, I have nothing to worry about. I wonder how Tohru did on her exams? It was Friday and exams were over as well as school. Class was dismissed for the day and Kyo was waiting for Tohru outside school.

The minute she saw him, she ran over to him with a big smile on her face.

"Hi Kyo, how did your exams go?"

"Fine, and yours?"

"Oh great, I knew almost every answer. Thank you so much for helping me study."

Kyo smiled at her. He was glad his tutoring helped.

"Hello Miss Honda. Did your exams go well?"

"Yes thank you and yours?"

"Good, I'm sorry but I won't be walking home with you and Kyo. There is a very important meeting."

"That's alright Yuki. Be safe okay."

"You do the same Miss Honda."

Tohru waved goodbye to Yuki as she saw him head off, she then returned to Kyo's side and they started to walk home together. When they arrived, Tohru came home and made dinner. It took awhile before it was finished. Yuki came home just in time to enjoy it with them. As they all sat down to eat, Shigure turned to Torhu.

"So when I am I going to get to see you in a nice dress Tohru. Don't you kids have prom any more?"

"Um…well I don't know, I mean are school has been really busy this year, we didn't have time for one."

"That's what we talked about today at our meeting." Yuki said, catching everyone's attention.

"We are gonna have it this Wednesday, the day before graduation."

"Oh no!" Tohru squealed, dropping her chopsticks.

"That won't nearly be enough time for me to get a gown. I didn't go to my junior prom because I couldn't afford a dress, so I've been saving up. But I don't have enough yet."

"Don't worry about money Miss Honda. I thought we all might need outfits and gowns so I talked to my brother and he said he'd customize everything. He knows me and Kyo's sizes and I'm pretty sure he remembers the time we went and suited you in that dress, Miss Honda."

"Wait a minute here, who said I was even gonna go to prom."

"Don't be so ungrateful you stupid cat."

Kyo growled at Yuki and folded his arms.

"How in the world did you get Aya to agree to customize two tuxedo's and a dress?"

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and an excited Ayame came busting through the door.

"OH! Yuki! I'm so happy to see you, so where do you think we should go first little brother."

"Shigure! Long time no see."

"Yes, it seems like forever Aya."

"I promised to spend a week and a month of my summer vacation with him. Now if you will excuse me, my week starts today." Yuki said scowling.

"Kyon how have you been?"

"Don't call me Kyon, just leave already!"

"Ugh, how rude. I see you haven't changed. Ah! Tohru you're looking more lovely each time I see you."

"Um…It's nice to see you too Ayame."

As Yuki put his dirty dishes away he turned to his brother, letting him know he was ready to go. As he heading for the door with his brother, he listened to him rambling on about how much fun they were going to have together.

"Well time to leave. Let's go to a movie Yuki, and see something scary. No, no, wait! Something funny! Catch you later Shigure, Tohru, and change that attitude of yours Kyo."

Yuki just hung his head as he walked out the door with his brother.

"He didn't even stay for five minutes." Shigure was crying puppy dog tears, feeling left out and abandoned by his childhood friend.

"Damn it! Every time that guy comes to visit I swear I get a headache." Kyo headed up stairs to take an aspirin.

Tohru cleaned up the dinner table and washed the dishes. She walked up the stairs to her room and laid down on her bed. Now that her exams were over, she might actually get a good night sleep. Tohru sat up and decided to take a shower before she got too sleepy. She took her pajamas and a robe into the bathroom with her. To her surprise Kyo was there, looking for something.

"Um…Kyo, can I help you find something?"

"Yeah, were the hells the damn aspirin!?" Kyo was pissed and he could feel his headache coming on.

"I'm sorry Tohru. I didn't mean to take it out on you."

"Oh that's okay, but are you sure it's not a fever or something? Here let me see."

She felt his head and noticed that it was slightly warm, she then led Kyo by the hand into his room.

"Now you just lay down, Shigure moved the aspirin but I'll get it. Oh and I'll get you an ice pack too, just in case."

"You don't have to do all this." Kyo said.

"But I want to, Kyo really. It's no trouble."

And with that she went down to get his stuff. After a few minutes she returned with his medicine, an ice pack, and a glass of milk.

"I brought milk so you could wash down the aspirin, but I could get water if you want instead."

"No milk is fine."

As she stood there and watched him take his aspirin, a question began to rise. Filling her head. But she couldn't bring herself to ask it. When he was done, he handed her his empty glass.

"Could you go put that in the sink for me, thanks."

"Sure, no problem."

He turned over to relax and wait for the aspirin to work. She turned to leave but the question kept buzzing around it her head.

"Uh Kyo."

He turned to her.

"Well..."

Tohru started to nervously play with her hair.

"I…I have never gone to prom before, and I know you don't really want to go but…I'd be happy if you would be my date."

Kyo sat up out of bed. She was right, he didn't want to go to prom but maybe…maybe if they went together.

"I'd be happy to be your date for prom too, Tohru."

They were both blushing a deep shade of red now.

"Uh…okay…thanks…thank you Kyo."

"Sure." He replied still not making eye contact.

"Have a goodnight then." She said closing his door.

"Yeah…night."

She then went down stairs to put his glass in the sink. They both couldn't wait for Wednesday night to come.
