I don't own Fruits Basket or any of the Characters

I guarentee suing me is no fun, seeing as I'm broke

This is based off the anime, so don't get all up in arms about it

Chapter One

Rain came down in sheets, pounding on the roof of Shigure's home. Tohru sat, curled under a blanket, studying with Yuki in the dining room. Well, it was more Yuki tutoring her. I'm so stupid, she thought over and over again.

"Miss Honda?" Yuki pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Huh?" she startled, then realized he was talking to her, "Oh, Yuki! I'm so sorry! I don't know what's gotten into me lately, I mean I've been having trouble focusing in class and I keep zoning out, like now! I'm sorry, you shouldn't have to put up with tutoring an idiot like me. I wouldn't blame you if you quit right now."

"Miss Honda," Yuki continued with a bemused look on his face, "I was going to ask if you'd like to take a break." She could feel herself turning bright red.

"O-oh." she tucked her chin to her chest, "If you want."

"How about I go make us a snack?" Yuki stood.

"Oh, no, I'll do it!" Tohru sprung up and started toward the kitchen, but he grabbed her arm.

"Really Miss Honda, it's alright." he smiled and realeased her, heading to the kitchen. Tohru sighed, listening to the gentle patter of raindrops on the roof. The house was so silent. Shigure had business at the Sohma house, and Kagura had come and forced Kyo to go out to dinner with her. Yuki returned with a tray of ice cream mochi and two cups of tea.

"Thank you." Tohru helped clear the table for him to set down the tray.

"Do you really want to continue studying?" he asked, sipping his tea.

"Not really." she admitted.

"Neither do I." he snapped his textbook shut. Tohru listened to the patter of the rain.

"Yuki, have you ever gone on a walk in the rain?" she asked.

"No," the prince tilted his head, "Have you?"

"Mom always said that the world was a beautiful place when it was raining," Tohru replied wistfully, "She used to grab our umbrellas, we'd put on our rain coats and boots and go dance around in the rain."

"Sounds like a fun idea," Yuki got up, "Let's go."

"Now?" she asked, surprised.

"Yeah," Yuki gave her one of his rare smiles, "It sounds like a fun idea."

"But, I don't have a rain jacket." Tohru tilted her head.

"Use Kyos," Yuki ran to the closet and handed her the orange jacket, "I apologize for the color, but the stupid cat seems to love it."

"It's fine," she pulled on her boots, "Thank you."

"No problem." he handed her her umbrella and they stepped into the rain.
