Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Cures and Confessions ❯ Intro ( Chapter 1 )

Cures and Confessions

 

Summary: Tohru has had a lot of dreams. The last she had was more vivid and realistic than any before. It was the latest in a long line of fantasies she's had recently, but is it more of a premonition than a dream? Or is it a little of both?

 

Disclaimer: I own nothing… N-o-t-h-i-n-g. It all belongs to Takaya-sensei. The only thing I won is the plot, and, if it's not in the manga, because I haven't read it yet, the cure to the Sohma curse.

 

Tohru was hurriedly making breakfast in the kitchen. She had woken up late that morning, considering it was Saturday, and that everything she'd had on her mind lately had kept her up late last night. `Last night…' She recalled her dream last night had been one that was the latest in a long line of fantasies, but it had been a lot more real, like it could really happen in real life.

 

(((Flashback))) *Tohru's dream*

 

Tohru could see Kyo was sad and frustrated… `He must have something heavy on his mind. I wonder what?' she thought. She walked over to him. She noticed that he had been silently crying, his head resting against his knees, his legs pulled up tight, and his arms hugging his own chest protectively. She kneeled down next to him.

 

“What's wrong, Kyo?” she asked. He stopped sobbing. His head slowly came up, revealing his gorgeous crimson eyes. `They're so… hypnotizing. I can't look away,' she thought. She watched as his mouth began moving when he answered her, but she heard nothing. Then, very slowly, she could hear his voice becoming louder.

 

At first, she couldn't make out what he was saying, even though she was able to hear him. The first things that she could hear were things that she always wanted Kyo to say in reality.

 

“I need someone to love me, Tohru. I need you to love me. I love you.” As he talked, he moved steadily closer to her face. When he stopped talking, he went in even closer, only centimeters away from each other. He was about to kiss her (or so she thought) when she had suddenly woken up. She was sweaty and hot, her heart racing, and was breathing hard.

 

`How can Kyo make me feel this way? He doesn't even need to be near me to make my heart skip a beat,' she told herself. She put her hands up to her face. `I need to tell him… I need to tell him soon.' And with that last thought, she got dressed and headed downstairs to make breakfast.
