Hi everybody! This is my first Fruits Basket fanfic so please don't expect me to be spot on with the characters. I'll try my best! R&R! NO FLAMES PLEASE! XD **IF THIS CHAPTER LOOKS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH, IT'S BECAUSE I AM REWRITING CHAPTERS**

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket

It was summer vacation for the high school students. Shigure had left to tend to some other business matters and the house was left in the care of the rat, the cat, and the rice ball. The dog zodiac had insisted on Tohru inviting her friends over(mainly for his own benefit), so Tohru invited Uo and Hana to the house and all of the friends had agreed on playing the dramatic game of 'Truth or Dare'.

"Tohru, I dare you to... hm," said Uo, wondering what embarrassing and devilish dare to give to her next target. "I dare you to go out and buy a pregnancy test! And you have to take it!"

The rice ball's eyes widened in surprise, her face turning a deep shade of crimson. "U-Uo-chan, I can't do that, it's too humiliating!"

"That's too much, Yankee," said the orange feline. "C'mon, give her something easy."

"As much as I'd hate to admit it," said the rat. "I'll have to agree with my cousin."

"You guys are no fun! Tohru, just do it! It'll be thrilling," persuaded the Yankee.

Tohru's nervous laughter filled the room and being the pushover she was, she agreed.

"Alright, that's the spirit!" said Uo, ruffling the rice ball's hair. "Now the game's getting more interesting."

I shouldn't be the one to kill the fun. It's just a joke! I'll show everyone that I can be fun, too thought the brunette. Plus, there was no way that she'd be pregnant, right?

"If it makes you feel any better, I'll go with you," mumbled Kyo, looking away from Tohru.

Tohru panicked and shook her head 'no' immediately. "It's okay! I can do it alone! Everyone should just stay home while I head out!"

"Jeez, if you didn't want me to go, you could've just told me."

"Oh, no, it's not that! It's just..." The rice ball lowered her voice, her face turning a bright red color again. "I don't want anyone to think that you or Yuki-kun are the... dad."

The cat blushed out of embarrassment. "S-sorry. I forgot to keep that in mind."

"Well, I'll be back! Please continue the game while I'm gone!" With that, the naive brunette headed to the nearest convenience store.

The rice ball entered the small convenience store and was immediately distracted by the stuffed animals in the front of the store.

"Ah, how cute," said the brunette, her hand immediately grabbing for the closest doll. "This one's a cat. Hehe, it looks just like Kyo." She looked around and found another doll that resembled a mouse. "Wow, this one really looks like Yuki-kun. Oh, wait, why am I here again?"

She looked around the store for a bit more, forgetting her original purpose for being at the convenience store. Instead of browsing for a pregnancy test as she had promised, she went around to look for food.

I've been so hungry lately thought Tohru. She grabbed a box of chocolates and a bag of potato chips. As she began to stuff her arms with as much junk food as she could carry, she heard a loud giggle behind her. The brunette turned to see a small toddler in a shopping cart being pushed around by her mother.

Aw, she's so adorable! Maybe for my next part-time job, I could start baby- Tohru stopped mid thought, reminded of something she had to do. "Baby... hm... bab-" The rice ball let out a gasp. "The pregnancy test!"

Tohru quickly put back the foods she had been craving and raced to the other side of the store to complete the first part of her dare. Boxes upon boxes of different tests were lined up on the shelf.

"Which one do I buy?" asked the Onigiri, her eyes scanning the wide variety of tests.

"Do you need help, dear?" asked a worker at the store. She glanced at Tohru, then the pregnancy tests. "Are you in the wrong aisle, student?"

"N-no," replied the rice ball shaking of nervousness. "Which p-pregnancy test is the, um, m-most bought?"

The woman was shocked. Her eyes filled with disgust as she handed Tohru a package of tests.

"Here," said the woman, her voice cold and repulsed.

"T-thank you!"

"Kids these days don't know any boundaries... how shameful," muttered the lady under her breath.

Embarrassed by her comment, Tohru checked out the test as quickly as possible and left the store, red-faced and humiliated.

At least the worst part is over. The Onigiri headed back home to her friends who were eager to see her complete the dare.

"Miss Honda, we were all worried about you," said the handsome prince, his stony grey eyes filled with concern. "You were gone for a while."

The brunette looked at him sheepishly. "Sorry, Yuki-kun. I guess I got a little distracted."

"You could've at least called!" yelled Kyo, crossing his arms.

"Chill out, Kitty-lover," said Uo, glaring at Kyo. "She was gone for an hour, not for a week."

The cat reluctantly listened to the Yankee and uncrossed his arms.

"Good, Kyon-Kyon." Uo turned to Tohru. "Did ya do it?"

Tohru nodded and held up the small plastic bag as proof.

Uo smiled and ruffled Tohru's hair. "That's my girl! You're brave, Tohru, really, really brave." Uo then flashed another devilish grin. "Now part two!"

Tohru had moved on to the second-part of the dare: taking the test. She didn't think much of it, considering that she never did it before. She knew the birds and the bees from health class in middle school, and she knew that it'd be impossible for her to be carrying a child. But a part of her still felt nervous as she took the test.

What if it comes out positive? she thought while waiting two minutes for the test to reveal the obvious results of 'not pregnant'. A fuzzy figure started to form on the indicator.

Why is it pink? 'Not pregnant' is supposed to be in blue... it's probably just a matter of time before it changes color thought the girl, reassuring herself.

After the agonizing wait, Tohru saw the results as clear as day. A pink plus. Pregnant. A loud gasp escaped her lips as she stared at the results. She started to panic, her mind overwhelmed with thoughts about whether or not it was possible.

I've never even had se- The brunette blushed at the word. She could barely even think about the word without feeling embarrassed. There's no way... I'm only 17!

"Miss Honda, are you alright in there?" called the soothing voice of the rat who had heard her gasp.

She didn't reply. The frightened girl was too shocked to speak. It has to be a mistake...

"Miss Honda? Honda-san?" Yuki's voice was sounding more worried.

The rice ball managed to sputter out a few words. "J-j-just a s-second! I'll be out in a m-minute."

Mom, I'm so sorry! I know I'm such a disappointment. But I really don't know how this happened. Please, Mom, help me through this. Please, please, please make this all a bad dream!

"I can't have a baby," whispered the now crying girl. "It's not possible. The test messed up. It's impossible!"

The brunette tried to think of how it could be, but no thoughts came to mind.

The crying girl heard heavy footsteps approaching.

"Tohru," called Uo while knocking on the door. "is everything alright in there?"

No! It's not! she wanted to cry out, but instead she replied with a quiet "yes" and sat on the bathroom floor, crying.

Like most girls, Tohru wanted to be a mother after she finished schooling, got married, and had a stable job. But the thought of having a child now made Tohru feel hopeless.

Maybe the box will have some answers, thought Tohru. She searched in the box frantically for an accuracy rate.

"99.99% accurate?!" Tohru really wanted to pretend none of it ever happened. Maybe my case is the 0.01% that isn't accurate but she knew that she was being ignorant.

"If I am pregnant," said Tohru, shuddering at the thought. "Who's the baby's dad? I don't know any other guys other than Yuki-kun and Kyo-kun... and because of the curse, it wouldn't be possible for them to father a child, would it?"

The more she talked about it, the more real the situation became. She placed her hand on her abdomen, wondering if there really was a human life in there.

The rice ball managed to clean herself up, dispose of the pregnancy test, and leave the bathroom, although she reluctantly did so. She put a fake smile on her face, one that soon faded after people stopped watching her. Her usually bright self was weighed down by humiliation, doubt, and anxiety.

Luckily, Uo eventually got bored of the pregnancy test idea and stopped bringing it up, much to Tohru's relief. The group's game had ended with a 'truth' for Yuki, one that he tried to avoid.

"Yuki-kun," said the usually emotionless Hana. Her bottomless black eyes stared into the prince's grey ones. "Is it true that... you like Tohru?" Her voice was monotone and it made Yuki all the more uncomfortable.

"Y-yes, of course! As a friend and fellow classmate," said the rat hesitantly. He managed to pull off the lie; it was a lie because he liked Tohru as much more than a friend.

"Fair enough," replied the monotone girl. Suddenly, she froze.

"What's wrong with her?" asked the cat, staring at the psychic.

"Several signals," said Hana, her face as serious as ever. She turned to the fidgety rice ball. "Tohru, I sense several signals from you. How interesting. I've noticed it before, but it's even clearer now. I know one aura is yours, but the other signals are unfamiliar... it has the same innocence as you, though."

Tohru felt beads of sweat form on her forehead. "Hana-chan, Uo-chan, isn't it time for you to be heading back?" she asked nervously.

Hana stared at Tohru's blue eyes in confusion. "No, I'm not bus-"

"Of course! Let's go, Hana," said Uo, grabbing Hana's arm and heading toward the door. The Yankee gave a small wink at Tohru as if to say 'have fun with these two Sohma boys'. Tohru, being her naive self, just smiled, not knowing the meaning of her friend's gesture.

After seeing her friends out the door, Tohru headed upstairs to her room. It had recently been redecorated for her by Shigure, Yuki, and Kyo(as much as he hated to admit it), so she now had her own bed to sleep on, as well as a telephone and a computer.

Tohru cautiously grabbed the phone and dialed a number that she had dialed only once before. She put the phone to her ear and waited for an answer.

"Hello?" said a female voice.

"Hi, this is Honda Tohru. May I please speak with Dr. Hatori?"

"Sure. Please wait while I transfer the call to him."

It took a minute for the call to transfer, and with each second, Tohru got more nervous.

"Hello, this is Dr. Hatori speaking. May I ask who is calling?"

"Hi, it's Honda Tohru."

"Hello, Honda-san. How have you been?"

"Good," she lied, her voice cracking from her sudden urge to cry.

"What brings you to calling me?"

"Oh, um, I'd like to schedule an appointment."

"Sorry, Honda-san, but I specialize in dealing with the Sohma medical issues only... I'm afraid I'm going to have to redirect you to another specialist."

"Please, Hatori! I have a very important question I'd like to ask you in private," said the rice ball, mustering up all of her courage.

"Okay, Honda-san. This is your first request for me, so I will do as you please."

"I have one more request," said the brunette, her voice shaking.

"And what is that?"

"Please keep our meeting a secret from the other Sohmas. Please, Hatori."

There was a pause at the other end of the line.

"Alright, Honda-san. Does tomorrow sound good for you?"

"Yes, thank you. I'll see you tomorrow."

"See who tomorrow?" asked a suspicious cat at the door way.

Tohru dropped the phone in surprise. "Oh, it's you, Kyo-kun. It's nothing, just a friend," said Tohru, unable to look at Kyo straight in the face.

"Ya know, you've been act sorta weird today," said Kyo, his glinting amber eyes full of suspicion. He leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed.

"W-weird? Me? N-no, I'm always like this!" said the rice ball, forcing a smile for the unconvinced cat.

"See, you're being weird again," said the orange-haired boy. "You only stutter when you have something to hide."

Tohru blushed and kept her mouth shut, afraid that she would give away her secret.

"Is something bothering you?"

Tohru shook her head no whilst picking up the dropped telephone.

"Then why do you look like you're about to cry?"

Tohru felt tears stinging her eyes and nose. She tried her hardest to blink them away, but she couldn't hold in her emotions anymore. She let her heavy tears fall to the floor, leaving Kyo puzzled.

The orange cat shuffled towards the brunette and awkwardly placed his large hands on her head. He was blushing profusely as he patted her head, which provided some comfort to the distressed rice ball.

"Stop crying," ordered Kyo, shifting a little bit closer to Tohru. He became more comfortable and his movement became more natural.

"I'm sorry," apologized Tohru, trying to suppress her crying. Her teary blue eyes looked into Kyo's deep amber ones. "I'm scared, Kyo."

"For what?"

Should I tell him? Would he tell Shigure and Yuki? He will find out eventually anyway. Tohru took a deep breath.

"Will you keep it a secret, Kyo-kun?"

Kyo saw the desperation in the brunette's eyes. He had never seen her so... vulnerable before. He knew that she was a strong girl who was overly sensitive at times but he never expected to see such a miserable side of her.

"I won't tell," agreed the cat zodiac, using his other hand to wipe away her remaining tears.

"Kyo... I think I'm...p-pregnant."

The cat froze from the unexpected response. How can she be? She's always with me and Yuki... and she's too dumb and innocent to even know what she's talking about half the time, thought the cat.

"Are you sure?" asked Kyo. He felt a pang in his heart. He wasn't sure why he felt so crappy, but he most definitely didn't enjoy it.

Tohru nodded, remembering the 99.99% accuracy label she had read earlier.

Who's the dad? was what Kyo wanted to know most but he refrained from asking, afraid that the answer would hurt him even more.

"I'm going to see Hatori tomorrow, not a friend," admitted Tohru. She finally stopped crying and was just emotionless. Releasing her bottled up emotion had made her feel empty inside.

Kyo closed his eyes and clenched his teeth from the sudden burst of rage he felt burning inside him. I'll kill the bastard who did this to Tohru...he thought. He realized what he was thinking about tried to erase it from his mind. What's gotten into me? Why am I like this... over Tohru? Kyo, you better stop thinking about her right now! But he found that it was hard not to think about her.

Before his thoughts got any more affectionate, he stomped out of the room, leaving Tohru behind. On his way out the door, he brushed past Yuki who had been standing there long enough to hear the highlight of the conversation. Yuki stood behind the doorframe, wide-eyed at the information he had just learned.

That night, the house was filled with the sound of a sleepless, weeping girl and two heartbroken, restless boys.

I will be making the next chapter soon! First review please! No flames. I made Tohru's eyes blue because I'm basing off most of the character's looks off the anime mainly because I really like how they look. **Chapters are being replaced and edited right now so if this chapter one is unfamiliar to you from the one you've read before, it's because I completely re-did it. I feel that my writing style has changed a lot so I'd rather have the entire story be in one style than in two different styles.**
