Disclaimer: For the last time - no, seriously, for the last time - I don't own Fruits Basket. If I did... if I didn't... well, who knows? (That makes no sense xDD)

My last upload. This makes me feel sad, you know? But, your response has been tremendous, so I want to say Thank you so very much! Of course, I say this, before you all kill me for some bad news.

I've dropped Cat's, Dogs and a Little Bit of Magic.

That's right, folks... it's dropped. I don't like it. I hate it. So I'll be changing the end of Cat's and Dog's Don't Mix so that it's an actual ending and not a lead on to the sequel... I'm sorry! I know you'll never ever forgive me for such a horrible thing... but...

I've decided to focus on the Kakeru x Yuki pairing next. Any ideas what Yuki could study at University? I'm thinking Psychology... any suggestions? (If anybody says 'Gardener', I'll slay them.) It'll be weird writing Yuki as the good guy, but it'll be a fun challenge!

And, before you ask... no, sorry, no sequel will follow this fanfiction n.n;;;

Anyways, I shall not keep you from the ending of his wonderful Fanfiction. Thanks a bunch for reading!

(Please review one final time n.n!)


Chapter Fifteen: Admittance

Yuki dialled the phone, glad that for once he had something useful in his phone book – although it was not for what people thought. Motoko Minagawa was simply going to be told thank you for her useless work, and that her services were no longer necessary, although not specifically in that order. The phone rung a couple of times, before;

"Minagawa residence."

"Konnichi wa." Yuki said, keeping his voice calm and reasonable, "is Miss Minagawa home?"

"Speaking."

"Ah, nice to speak to you Miss Minagawa. It's Yuki Sohma."

On the other end of the line, Motoko almost dropped the phone. She went pale, began to shake, and drooled. The Prince had called... her! He'd actually phoned her! At home! After school! Oh, this so blew the footage of him showering – which they'd shot at school, of course, after Physical Education – completely out of the water.

On his end of the line, Yuki was tolerating the pause. He'd obviously surprised the Fan Club President, and he was going to tolerate what came next, which was... rather loudly;

"Y-Yuki! Wh-What a pleasant surprise! What can I-I do for you?"

Yuki twitched. He really hated the sound of Motoko's voice, so he figured he'd get straight to the point. "It's about the plan. I'm afraid your services will no longer be necessary."

"N-No longer necessary?" Motoko's voice replied, still shaky but for a different reason; "W-Were our services not up to your standards?"

"Quite the contrary." Yuki lied; "The plan has just succeeded earlier than originally planned."

"It... has?"

"Yes." Yuki replied, smiling sickly to himself; "I believe that Haru is about ready to admit his feelings for Kyo."

"What about Kyo?"

"I could care less." Yuki replied dryly, leaving Motoko on the other end rather confused. "This plan was designed to benefit me, not them."

"B-But..."

"Thank you for you and your clubs services, Miss Minagawa." Yuki hung up the phone without a second thought, and continued with his afternoon.

Motoko, on the other hand, still held the phone. Why had Yuki acted so... coldly? What was the matter with him? Was it... was she... did she... what if... jumbled thoughts like these went through her mind. Did Yuki really dislike Haru and Kyo that much not to consider their feelings in the process?

Motoko might have not looked it, but she did have a heart. But... obviously her beloved Prince didn't. Her views on Yuki completely changed in that moment, from 'Handsome Prince' to 'Corrupted Dictator.'


Haru buried his head in his pillow. That was the second time – which he knew – that he'd done something intimate with Kyo! The gods simply didn't favour him, and that was pretty much obvious. Or... did they?

What was so wrong about Kyo, anyway?

He's a boy, and he's my cousin. He told his brain told himself forcefully. But... wasn't Yuki just the same? Slightly alarmed at that fact, Haru sat up. There was... nothing different about the feelings in his stomach to the feelings that he had when he was around Kyo. There was nothing different about Yuki and Kyo – other, than, well the fact that their personalties were completely different – and... the fact remained... Haru liked Kyo.

It felt odd admitting that to himself; really, really, really odd. "I... like Kyo." He muttered to himself, lying down, he rolled over. "Or... maybe I like him more than I think I do? Maybe... I... love him?"

The odd feeling left, and strangely, everything felt right. Haru whined to himself, and buried his head in the pillow again. "But... Kyo's a cat..." he muttered into the cushion.

Only if he hugs girls or gets sick.

"So I just have to... make sure to keep him away from girls and... keep him from being sick?"

Exactly.

Haru wasn't one to converse with himself, but on this occasion it seemed rather... right. But, there was still one minor fact remaining... "I'll tell him tomorrow." He told himself firmly, before rolling over again and closing his eyes.


Still in his room, shirtless, and on the floor, Kyo sighed. Haru really detested his feelings of him that much, huh? Maybe he should... just give up.

But, that wouldn't be easy, considering every time Haru was around... Kyo felt different. Maybe... Kyo would just avoid him all together. Yep. That sounded easy enough.


Confessing to Kyo was a lot harder than Haru thought it would be, because the stupid cat wouldn't come within three metres of him! And, he sure as hell wasn't going to yell out over the oval; 'Kyooooooo! I was wrong! I'm sorry! I love you!' It simply wasn't a Haru thing to do.

But, when the opportunity did arise, Haru wouldn't hesitate to follow it. And... That option arose when he noticed Kyo go into the toilets in the small break between classes. He'd get him then. So, he snuck in a few moments later, leant against the wall, and waited.

When the cat exited the toilet cubicle, his body went slightly rigid as he spied Haru staring at him from around the basins. Turning his gaze away, he washed his hands.

"Kyo."

Kyo attempted to walk past as if he hadn't heard Haru's voice, or even seen the cow. Alas, he didn't have a chance, considering his wrist was grabbed before he could get away. Kyo began to attempt to shake him off, but was twirled around immediately, and two familiar lips crashed into his own.

The kiss was more tender than any of the ones that Black Haru had given to Kyo. It was sweeter, and tasted better. When Haru pulled away, wide eyed and slightly giddy from butterflies, Kyo asked; "W-White Haru?"

Silently, Haru nodded, and Kyo's face immediately lit up. Haru did feel the same way! Had he just been teasing him? Oh well... it didn't matter! It really didn't! Haru felt the same way, and that was all that mattered to Kyo.

Kyo felt Haru's hands on his chest, and was brought back to reality. "Kyo..." Haru muttered; "I was... wrong. I tried to deny it to the best of my abilities, but these things, I guess they just can't be denied."

Kyo tilted his head.

"I thought... that my obvious feelings for you were wrong. But, you've taught me something. Love's never wrong."

Kyo blinked.

"Kyo... what I mean to say is..." Haru paused for a moment and looked at him; "I... love you, Kyo."

Kyo's face lit up even further. He didn't think that the words could feel so... good! It made his eardrums sing out praise, and, before Haru could say anything more, Kyo brought his own lips to the cows. After a moment, he drew back, smiled and said; "I love you too."

For some reason, it didn't surprise Haru just how happy he felt at that moment.


Two weeks past, and Haru and Kyo were going strong – as well as being big news. Everybody at school knew about them, mostly because of a very loud apology made by Motoko for being such a horrible person to help mastermind the plan in the first place.

Of course, Kyo and Haru had forgiven her – how could they not? It might have been a mighty evil plan, but, she had had good intentions – even if they were for Yuki and not for them. But, they weren't going to complain; Motoko's evil plan had brought them together, and they couldn't be happier.

The other big news at the school was the fact that Motoko Minagawa had flatly quit her position as Prince Yuki Fan Club President – which took everybody by surprise, including Yuki, who figured it was just a sign of good will to attempt to get closer to him. But... it wasn't. Motoko hadn't even gone near him since.

Surprisingly, Motoko felt much happier about herself. She felt the confidence to strut the halls without being sneered at with jealousy from fellow female students for her position, and had in fact made a few friends. It became easier to address the students at assembly because she wasn't trying to impress Yuki... and well... her room looked a lot neater too. But, over all, Motoko found that she loved herself much more now that she'd given up the 'silly' Prince Yuki phase.

While the resignation of Motoko Minagawa had surprised Yuki, it had done little else. Personally, he didn't care who was President or not; it was all the same to him. He and Tohru had been going for about three days, and Yuki found himself much happier – and he thought Tohru did too. Over all, his plan had succeeded.

And... for everybody, everything was right in the world.
