Okay, this is my first Fruits Basket story, so if it sucks, let me know, and I'll take it off. I'm just trying to get out of the fandoms in which I'm known and expand a little.

I am making this up as I go along so I WILL take suggestions for plot twists and such. I'm thinking that this is going to be a short story, but I'll see as I get farther into it.

Lastly, this story is Yukiru. I mostly only support Kyoru, but I'm trying this, so if it seems biased, that's probably because it is.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN FRUITS BASKET, FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, INUYASHA OR ANY OTHER SERIES THAT I'VE WRITTEN OR AM WRITING FANFICTION FOR.

It started off like any other day at school. Yuki Sohma was actually having a really good day until he heard something in the hallway.

"I heard that Tohru Honda's going out with Kyo Sohma," one girl said to another.

"I heard something like that too," the girl replied. "I heard that the leader of the Prince Yuki Fan Club saw them holding hands while they walked down the hallway."

Yuki quickly walked away. He failed to notice that the two girls were members of the "Prince Yuki Fan Club". He was too wrapped up in his thoughts about Tohru. Is this true? Is Miss Honda really going out with "that cat"? I'd all but admitted to her that I loved her? Was I too blind to see that she really didn't return my feelings?

Yuki concentrated on walking again only because he didn't want to run into some girl and have his curse be revealed. Seeing that the hallway was fairly empty, he concentrated on his thoughts.

Regardless of whether that was true or not, I still have to give Miss Honda her birthday present.

Yuki, Kyo and Tohru all had lunch at the same time, so Yuki decided to give it to her before lunch when they all met up.

Yuki headed to their meeting spot. He was about to turn the corner when he heard voices. The two voices belonged to Tohru and Kyo. Not wanting to disturb them, Yuki waited and listened to what they were saying.

"Here, Tohru, I got you a present for your birthday."

"Thanks Kyo-kun."

Yuki tried to see what Kyo had gotten Tohru, but he couldn't see. All he could see was that Tohru's back was to him and Kyo was facing her. He heard the sound of something opening and then he heard Tohru reply. "That's so sweet. Kyo, I love…"

Yuki refused to listen to the rest of Tohru's reply. I guess it's true. She really did choose "that cat." Yuki blended himself back into the crowd and walked to lunch alone.

At the lunch table that day, he ate his lunch quietly. Nobody noticed anything different about his behavior because he was usually quiet at lunch. He still couldn't believe that Tohru had chosen Kyo, but, hey, proof was proof.

The rest of the day passed so slowly. Yuki kept telling himself to stop thinking about Tohru, but he just couldn't.

When the school day ended, Yuki walked to Shigure's house by himself. Usually he'd walk home with Tohru and Kyo. The two cousins would fight and Tohru would try to stop them. Not today though.

I might as well let them be alone. They'd probably like it better that way anyway, Yuki sadly thought to himself. Well, I want to be alone too, so I guess that it all works out.

As I said, it might not be that good, but it's my first Furuba fanfic and that makes it seem better to me.

Any opinions, suggestions, or ideas are entirely welcome. Be harsh, please. I need to improve in this fandom.
