Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Golden Dreams ❯ Saturday Morning ( Chapter 1 )

**Disclamer** The Characters aren't mine. (no crap)

"Kyo still isn't back from his latest adventure, Miss Honda. Are you sure it is ok if

I leave?" Yuki asked as Tohru handed him his suitcase.

"Of course it's fine, Yuki. I want you to spend some time with your brother."

Yuki sighed. He knew Tohru would want him to go, but he was hoping she would ask him to stay. He wasn't too thrilled about going on vacation with Aya. Then he imagined spending a week alone with Tohru. Yuki's entire body tingled, but he silently punished himself for his dirty thoughts. He couldn't possibly imagine having the courage to kiss her, mush less the audacity to carry out any of his other naughty fantasies. He was just glad neither of the other two were going to be home in his absence. God only knew what Shigure would do to her if he had the chance. Kyo was likely harmless, but his jealousy flared just thinking that he might get to spend the alone time with Tohru. He hoped Kyo didn't return in his while he was gone.

Tohru handed him the sack lunches she had made for he and Ayame for their trip. Her hand brushed his, he noticed she was a little warm. He placed the bags in his suitcase, then put his hand to her forehead.

"It feels like you have a slight fever, are you feeling poorly?" He asked

"No, no, I feel fine. Please don't worry about me, I don't want it to ruin your trip." She stammered.

Yuki hesitated, he didn't want to leave her like this, but he was running late already.

"I'll tell you what, I'll call Hatori and. . ."

She cut him off. "No, I don't want to be a burden."

"I'll call him, it will make me feel better to know someone will check in on you."

Yuki paused, "I think he was planning on dropping by a couple of times this week anyway, just in case. I'll let him know you have a temperature. Does it really make a difference that hecomes tonight instead of tomorrow night?"

"I guess not." She replied looking at her feet.

Tohru was nervous. She watched Yuki talking to Hatori on the phone. She had always been attracted to Hatori. It was ridiculous, she knew, but she couldn't help it. She furiously started cleaning anticipating his arrival.

Yuki noticed her flurry of activity as he hung up the phone. "Miss Honda, Hatori will be over after he finishes working this evening."

Tohru nodded, but kept cleaning.

"He wants you to take it easy until he gets here."

She suddenly realized how silly she must look. She blushed. "Alright, I will."

"Promise?"

"Yes," she looked away, "now if you don't hurry, you are going to be late. Ayame wanted you to meet him at his store. He said 'Saturday at Two, and don't let him be late.'"

"I realize this." He sighed. "Good bye, Miss Honda. Please take care of yourself."

"Bye, Yuki, have fun!" Yuki started to walk down the path. "Be safe!" She yelled after him.

'Now, to get ready for Hatori.' She blushed in anticipation, and hurried to the bathroom.
