Chapter two

Hi again.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits basket anymore than I own the empire state building. Which is not at all. So, don't forget to review, I really appreciate it! I'm sorry that the characters aren't in character very well, sorry. And enjoy!

"Hey, Rosie," greeted Arisa at school the next day.
"Hello Ms Uotani-Chan," came Rose's reply.
"Oh, just call me Arisa!" Arisa laughed.
"Okay, where's Kyo-kun?" Rose asked her.
"He's not here yet, I don't think."
"Oh," Rose looked down, blushing for some reason not even she could fathom. A smile tugged at the corners of her red lips.
"Hi Rose," Kyo said from behind her. Rose squealed and jumped back, when she saw Kyo, she narrowed her eyes and attempted to hit him with her bag. He danced back, laughing.
Rose poked her tongue at him and smiled. "Don't do that!"
"And why not?"
She stood on his foot, her shoes had subtle heels. With spikes on them. Kyo' s mouth opened. He fell over clutching his foot, but not before dragging a giggling Rose down with him. She fell on top of him. Kyo closed his eyes waiting for the 'poof'. It never came. He opened his eyes to see Rose's face red as her namesake. (A/N, by namesake, I mean a rose) He stood up awkwardly, while Rose lie on the ground. He held his hand out to help her up. Her eyes flit up to him. She slowly lifted her delicate hand and placed it in his strong ones. He pulled her up, Rose was still smiling to herself as it thinking about some inside joke of hers, and her faces still hadn't lost its redness. It almost looked good on her, made her look like a delicate porcelain doll with rosy cheeks and pale skin.

The bell rang, Rose looked over to the bell almost in confusion, then understanding seemed to dawn on her face, looking over at Kyo, she said, "I...have Drama."

Kyo's deep honey eyes locked with Rose's violet eyes. Yesterday, when he'd said to himself he loved her...he'd been joking. Now...now, he wasn't so sure. "I have Math, that's right next to the performing arts building. I'll walk you there." With that, he linked arms with her and pulled her with him.
"What colour is your hair meant to be?" he asked, trying to make conversation.
"Well, I used to have black hair. Like, pitch black hair, then the sun faded it or something, now it's a mahogany colour."
Kyo raised an eyebrow, he didn't know hair, what was she talking about?
Rose seemed to understand. "My hair was black, now it's reddy, purplish black."
Kyo nodded, understanding. The way she described it, anyone would think it was a disgusting dark red, purple mess of colours, but in reality, it was gorgeous. It looked black in the shade, but shone a purplish-red in the sun. 'It was...magical, just like her, just like everything about her.' he thought.

He frowned, they stood in front of the performing arts building. "We're here," he sighed.
Rose sighed too, he glanced at her, she looked...genuinely upset about being at her class. He shook his red hair, there was no chance that she upset for the same reason as him...was there?

"Well, uh, bye."
She nodded, "I'll see you at lunch." She walked into her class, chatting with a blonde girl and giggling.

Kyo didn't see, but as he turned to leave for his math class, Rose looked over at him, staring where he'd been. "I knew I'd seen you before. I thought I recognised you Kyo. You're the cat," she murmered.
"What?"Yuuki, the blonde girl, her best friend in Drama asked.
"Oh! Nothing important!" She turned to talk to another friend, Rima. While they talked, Rose was thinking, why didn't he transform...?

I'm sorry! I've totally over-dramatised it! And I'm sorry, they aren't in character much, either. Well, don't forget to push the little 'review' button at the bottom of the screen! If you have the time to read my story, why not make the time to tell me what you think of it? So, anyway, I'll try to keep posting!
