Hey there, this is my first publishing. I've been inlove with Fruits Basket for a while, and a story just came to mind and I couldn't get it out. So here is part of it. : )

He first became aware of a soft thumping sound coming from above him. The next was the darkness. He sat in a shroud of darkness, unable to move. It felt as though he was bound by a rope, restricting his movement. Disorientated, he tries to rise, but to no avail, his body will not rise more than a few inches.

He doesn't remember how he got here

He doesn't even know where here is

Panicking, he tries to move his body, what little moves, moves sluggishly. Like his own arm is fighting his will.

Am I drunk? He asks himself. No, I haven't been drunk since I was up in the mountains with my master. My body must have been drugged, because I can still think clearly. Who would drug me though? I'm of no importance to anyone. Well, maybe to one person…

His thoughts are interrupted by the sound of footsteps. It must be my kidnapper. He concludes. The sound of a door opening, more footsteps, the sound of moving fabric, and then a dull light begins to shine.

"Kyo-kun? Are you awake yet? It's midday. Breakfast has gone cold, but I shall be making lunch shortly. I know the rain makes you tired, but you asked me to help you with your history project today. So wakey-wakey! Greet the new day!"

She turns from the window, and sees that he is still under the covers, not moving. Sighing to herself, she walks over to wake up the sleeping boy. Kneeling on the ground, she pulls the blankets from his face. She glances at him, and becomes alarmed. She puts her hand to his body. Then jumps up and runs from the room in search of help. And that was the last thing he remembered before he fell into a dreamless sleep.

His body nearly burned my hand. No wonder he isn't up yet! Why didn't he call for help sooner? Why didn't I go check on him earlier! This is my entire fault! Where can I get help! She thinks as she runs down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Shigure! Someone!"

Upon hearing his name, the dog's ears seemed to perk up, which is strange, because he was in his human form. He got up from his study and bounded toward the voice calling him.

"Yeeeeeeees, my little flower?" He coons.

At another time, Tohru would have smiled as his silliness. He reminded her of a young puppy, jumping up and greeting you from your day out of the house. But she was not grinning.

"It's Kyo-Kun! He's in his cat form and is burning up! I saw his eyes open and look at me, but they were dazed and couldn't focus on anything! I know the rain makes him weak, but its never been so bad that he changes forms!"

The grin then dropped from Shigure's face. In a split second, the boy changed into a man. He walked over to his phone.

"Hatori? It's happened again. "And with that he hung up and ran up stairs to Kyo's room. Confused, Tohru followed behind him.

" I need you to get me a bucket of ice water, two towels, and the soup from last night warmed up for him to eat." He ordered her. After getting everything he requested, Hatori came into the room. He looked like he had just been sprinting.

"How long has he been like this?" He asked Tohru, not in his monotone voice but in a voice with an edge of panic in it.

"Um, I saw him last night before bed and he seemed fine, so sometime in the night. He's okay though right! It's just a cold right?"

"No, Tohru, it looks much worse than that to me." And on that note, Shigure shuffled her out of the room.

Oh Kyo. Please be okay. Please…

R&R please :)
