We don't own Fruits Basket

She lay silently in bed still her alarm clock was on the floor after she had hit it. She sat up slowly her face was really pale as she slipped her slippers on heading down to the first floor of the Sohma household. In the dining area sat the three Sohma men, their arms all-resting on the table, none saying a word to the other. Kyou, as usual, held a sour look on his face, having already had his typical fight with Yuki this morning, which ended in him getting kicked out into the garden yet again. She smiled lightly as she moved into the kitchen starting breakfast for the her friends she started to boil some of the water for the rice as she started to prepare oatmeal. A crash was soon heard from the kitchen sounding just like glass.

 

Kyou was the first to hear it, his form moving to his feet quickly and dashing for the kitchen. "Tohru!?"

 

She held her wrist blood rolling through the creases of her fingers. "I'm sorry." She spoke looking to him as she moved back to get the broom and dust pan.

 

"What happened, are you alright," he asked quietly, not wanting to alert the other two, though they soon showed up anyway. Kyou, glancing back at the other two, walks over and helps her gather the glass.

 

"...I thought I was close to the counter. I've been feeling dizzy since I got up this morning." She swept the glass gently into the pan while Shugura held it still and Yuki gathered the bigger pieces.

 

"What do you mean you've been feeling dizzy? Is something wrong with you?" Grabbing the broom slightly, he pulled it from her and pushed his hand to her forehead, "You're pale and burning up!"

 

"I am ok Kyou-kun..." She spoke softly before looking away from him. "I'll be fine once I get breakfast made and had some." She looked up ro him giving him a faint smile.

 

"No, you're going back to bed! I'll finish cooking breakfast and bring it to you." Looking up at Yuki, he pointed towards the stairs, "Make her go to bed!"

 

"Kyou-kun I am fine please let me make your guys breakfast and then I will head up." She looked to him sadly. "I promise I will."

 

"You're sick! You should be in bed, now go..." His eyes narrowed as he glared at Yuki, "Take her back to bed, damn it!" She looked away from him slowly as she moved up stairs without another word as she moved back into her bed closing her eyes halfway.

 

"Damn rat... needs to listen the first time he's told something or he's gonna get his ass beat," he grumbles as he takes up from where Tohru left off, preparing the breakfast for the four of them on this morning. She looked to her wrist that was still bleeding she reached over to her nightstand using handkerchief wrapping it around the cut slowly.

After a few moments, her door would slowly creep open and Kyou would poke his head in to see if she was still awake. "I've got some breakfast for you Tohru... and, I'm... I'm well, here's your breakfast...” Per usual, he found it impossible to say he was sorry to her, so he just walked in and laid the tray across her bed over her.

 

She moved slowly sitting up looking to him. "You didn't have to cook for my Kyou-kun I was almost done."

 

"You're sick, you should be here in bed, resting so you can get better..." he said as he started back towards the door. "I've got to go feed the others, then I'll come back to check on you."

 

She nodded lightly looking down to her meal her eyes never meeting his. "...Kyou-kun... Thank you..."

 

"Yea..." he whispered as he left the room and closed the door behind him, walking back down the stairs to the kitchen. She looked to her meal silently as she began to eat the warm oatmeal in front of her. She only managed to eat only a few bites before her stomach started to ache as she lay on her side in pain. After another several minutes, he slowly reentered her room and walked over to her bed, kneeling down beside it. "You have hardly touched your breakfast..."

 

"When I eat I feel bad like my stomach is on fire." Her eyes opened slowly as she looked up to him. "I'll try eat later on Kyou-kun...."

 

"If you feel bad... then don't worry about it. Just rest..." He whispered as he took the tray from her bed and set it aside so she could rest more comfortably.

 

She looked to her clock slowly that rested on the floor. "Kyou-kun you better get ready school will be starting soon." She looked to him slowly.

 

His head shook slowly as he looked down at the clock, "I'm not going, I've got to stay around here and take care of some things..."

 

"What are you planning on doing today training up in the mountains fighting with bears." She giggled softly before coughing lightly.

 

"No, you're going to stay right here and rest until I think you're better... you're far too pale to be well." Standing slowly, he looks at the door, "I'll bring you some water and warm soup."

 

"Kyou-kun you don't need to do this..." She struggled sitting up in bed as she looked to him.

 

Looking back to her, he smiled slightly and shook his head, "No.… You're right I don't need to, but you've been good to us and it's time we return the favor, now lay back down and get some rest."

 

"Kyou-kun if I fall asleep when you come back... will you wake me up?" She looked to him as she lay back down in her bed her eyes focused on his as she covered up under the blankets.

 

"You need to drink some water... so yea, I'll wake you long enough to drink some water, then you're going back to bed." Smiling slightly, he closed the door very slowly behind him and walks towards the kitchen.
