Disclaimer: Yep, I own Fruits Basket, right guys?
Yuki: Umm... No.
Kyo: Thank God she doesn't.
Me: What was that! (starts chasing Kyo around the room)
Tohru: chibishaymin1436 doesn't own Fruits Basket. Those rights belong to Takaya Natsuki-san. ...Not that I would mind if chibishaymin1436-san owned us... She's very nice, and-
Yuki: Honda-san, I think they get the point.
Tohru: R-Right!
It had started out as a perfectly normal day for Tohru Honda.
She was busy cooking breakfast, Shigure was working on his novel, and Yuki was asleep. Kyo was also asleep. He would usually be awake by now, but he had been up late the night before, so he was getting some much need rest. At least, that's what she thought, until a very loud 'WHAT THE HELL!' broke the silence. Not to mention the even louder crash that followed the shout.
"Tohru-kun," Shigure said, poking his head into the hallway. "Please tell me that wasn't Kyo I just heard, he better not be breaking my house again…"
"Kyo-kun?" Tohru called up to the suddenly quiet upstairs. "Are you okay?" No response. Worried, Tohru climbed the stairs, practically running to Kyo's room.
Shigure followed, although he was probably more worried about the damage Kyo could have done, rather than Kyo himself.
Tohru pushed open the door, and promptly gasped.
"What is it?" Shigure asked. He walked into the room. His eyes widened in shock.
Kyo had crashed headfirst into the side of his desk, causing several of the items on the said desk to fall on him, knocking him out. The biggest problem however, was his height. Kyo was less than half his size! For all intents and purposes, Kyo looked no older than five years old.
"K-Kyo-kun?" Tohru whispered, stunned.
Kyo groaned, starting to come to. Slowly, he sat up, clutching his head. "My head hurts" he grumbled.
Now that he was right in front of her, Tohru noticed how much higher Kyo's voice had become. Trying desperately to shake off her shock, she tried to talk to him, kneeling on the floor. "Kyo-kun? W-what happened?"
Kyo looked up, noticing them for the first time. "Tohru? Shigure? What are you doing in my room?"
"W-well," Tohru started. "we heard you shout, t-then we heard the crash, and I called up to you, a-and you didn't respond, so we came up here, and, and then…"
"And then we found you looking like this." Shigure finished.
"Looking like…" Slowly, Kyo stood up. Why was he eye to eye with Tohru? He was a head taller then she was, when they were both standing. But she was sitting. On the floor. "What…"
Meanwhile, Shigure had taken the mirror off of the wall in the bathroom, and showed it to Kyo, reflecting his much smaller body.
"W-what the hell!" Kyo shouted. "How did I end up like this!"
Shigure sighed. "We were hoping you could tell us the same thing."
Kyo shook his head. " All I know is that when I woke up I was like this. I crashed into the desk…"
"And we know the rest." Shigure shook his head, still too shocked to make jokes as he normally would have done. Suddenly, a small voice interrupted their musing.
"Honda-san? What's going on?"
All eyes turned to the door. It was Yuki, a five year old version of him anyway. He was yawning and rubbing his eyes, apparently he had woken up because of the noise.
"Yuki-kun" Tohru murmured.
"So it happened to the damn rat as well." Kyo said, not so quietly.
Yuki turned to Kyo, annoyed. "What on earth are you talking about? And why are you making such a racket so early in the morning…" He caught sight of Kyo. "What happened to you?"
Kyo frowned. "Hmph. You should take a look in the mirror yourself, ya damn rat."
Yuki spun around, turning to face Shigure, who was still holding the mirror. He looked at himself, blinked, and rubbed his eyes fiercely. His reflection didn't change, and he blinked again. "Am I still dreaming?"
"No, you're not." Shigure said. "Or, if you are, we're all dreaming the same thing, which is pretty unlikely…"
"I'm so sorry!"
Yuki, who had momentarily forgotten about Tohru (or anyone else for that matter) in spite of new appearance, turned back to her, surprised. "What are you talking about Honda-san?"
"I'm so sorry." She said again, starting to cry. "It's probably m-my fault Kyo-kun and Yuki-kun are like this, I d-didn't do anything t-to stop it from happening! A-and I don't even know what to do! I'm so, so sorry!" Now that the initial shock had passed, Tohru was hit with an overwhelming sense of guilt. She was surprised to find a small pair of hands encasing her own. She looked up to find Yuki staring at her seriously.
"Honda-san, nobody blames you for this. At least," he shot mischievous look at Kyo. "I don't."
"Hey!"
Ignoring Kyo, Yuki continued. "But anyway, there's no way you could have know about this, and I'm completely sure you'll figure out the right thing to do. So don't cry. Please?"
Yuki's words made sense, so Tohru smiled, wiping the tears away. "You're right. I am being rather silly about this aren't I." She laughed softly. "Well, we should probably eat breakfast right?"
Yuki and Shigure agreed. Tohru was just about to follow them out of the room and down the stairs, when Kyo stopped her.
"Look, I just wanted to say, I… I don't blame you," he gestured to his body "for this. It's not just that damn Yuki. I think that too. I mean… Ah, I don't even know what I'm saying…"
By now, Kyo's face was quite a few shades redder than it had been before, but Tohru didn't seem to notice. She smiled. "Thank you Kyo-kun, that really means a lot to me! Are you going to come eat breakfast?"
"Uh yeah, sure." Still blushing furiously, Kyo followed Tohru out of the room.
