I Found You

Ok, this is the second fanfic I am writing. I'm not good at focusing on one thing at a time so I'm starting this one along with my Soul Eater one. I promise I'll update as quickly as possible. I just thought this would be a cool idea for a story so I had to start it, too. I hope you all like it. Please R&R! .

By the way, I don't own Fruits Basket. I would be absolutely amazing if I did. But I don't.

Chapter One

Mommy?

Kyoko and her adorable daughter Tohru were walking home from the store hand-in-hand. A huge smile occupied both of their faces. They truly loved each other so much. Experiencing a terrible tragedy a couple of years ago, they were all each other had. They had made a bond that even death couldn't sever.

Unbeknownst to either of them, that bond was about to be put to the test. It was a crowded Saturday afternoon and it seemed that everyone had decided to get out for the weekend. Everyone was pushing and shoving each other trying to get to their destination. Kyoko tried her very best to hold on to little Tohru's hand, but on top of the crowd, it was hot and little Tohru's hand slipped away. Before she realized it, the crowd had carried her daughter away from her. She searched everywhere but didn't find her. After searching the immediate area, Kyoko ran home. They were only five minutes away. She could hurry home and wait for her dear daughter to find her way. She had made sure to show Tohru the way on all they're previous travels. The mother didn't think about the disorientation crowds could cause.

Little Tohru ran around the street calling for her mother. She asked a bunch of people to help her but everyone ignored the little girl. Tears fell down her face, she was so scared. Where was her mommy? Why wasn't she looking for her? Why won't anyone help her? Tohru ran down an ally way to get away from the rush of the people. She didn't know what else to do. Maybe her mommy would come back and find her there.

Kyoko looked around frantically. She had just got off the phone with the police. She was terrified. She couldn't stop the tears from falling. She didn't care to stop them either. Stopping them wouldn't help find her daughter. She looked next to her to find the orange haired little boy. "Jari… Tohru hasn't returned… I've search, but she's not here. I don't know where she is…"

Determined, the little boy said, "Pull yourself together! I… I will definitely find her. You wait at home. I'll definitely save her. I'll protect her! I promise as a man!"

Tears once again swelled up in Kyoko's eyes. This little boy was so cute. At the moment, with that determined look on his face, she was so happy that she ran into him and started talking to him all that time ago.

"Hello?" Tohru heard a man say somewhere close. She looked up to find a man standing next to her. "Are you ok?" Tohru just stared at him. Not replying. "Are you lost?" With a little gathered courage, the small girl nodded. Holding out his hand, he smiled and said, "I'll help you find your way home."

Tohru took the man's hand trustingly and followed him. It would be a decision that would haunt the girl for seven years to follow.

I know it's a short chapter but I thought it would be a good opener and attention grabber. I actually have a good bit of ideas for this story. I hope everyone enjoys it. Oh and just in case people haven't read the manga, only watched the anime or maybe just have forgotten, Jari is the name that Kyoko gave to Kyo because he wouldn't tell her his name. And that was the actual conversation between them when Tohru was lost. I wanted to add some authenticity lol. Thank You for reading!
