The challenge that this fic is based on is a Furuba one. The pairing was Yuki Kyo and the theme was Nightmare.
Well... here it is! This one-shot fic is set before Yuki and Kyo's first meeting in the manga just after the death of Kyo's mother
It was night at the Sohma estate. Yuki lay awake in his bed, staring at the ceiling. He could hear a soft sobbing coming from nearby, and debated whether to get up and see who it was, and why there were crying. Compassion overriding his sense of preservation, Yuki ignored the possible consequences of a late night wander if he ever got caught. Treading softly past the other Sohma residences, Yuki heard the sobbing getting gradually louder. Finally he came across his destination- the dojo. A small orange haired boy was sitting curled up in a defensive position in one corner of the spacious room. He sniffled, rubbed at his eyes and tried in vain to stop his crying, but could not. Yuki was suddenly hit with the urge to go comfort the strange lonely boy, but before he could step through the door a man walked in through the door closest to the boy and knelt down in front of him. "Another nightmare?" The man asked the boy. The boy just nodded, not relaxing from his place on the floor. "Come on," the man urged "Lets go back". He picked up the child, carrying him out of Yuki's sight. For a split second their eyes met and the unknown boys widened before the boy vanished around the corner and the door slid shut. Left standing by the only open door to the dojo with only a nearby lamp to give him light, Yuki turned to leave. Later reflecting back on the mysterious boy he had seen, Yuki remembered the warm orange of his hair and the hazel of his eyes. He was struck by the remembrance of the heart-rending sadness that seemed to emanate from him, and vowed right then that he would do all he could to make a smile appear on that cherubic face. His mind set on that thought, Yuki slowly drifted off to sleep.
Well?
