This is a big step for me, because I'm a HUGE fruits basket fan. I already did some of my fav. animes, but this one is really special. So I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I wish I did. I really do, but I don't.

Flashback

Yuki walked through the house looking for Tohru. He had promised her that he would tell her the next time that he was going to HQ. He decided to check her room. He forgot to knock on the door and entered without a second thought.

"Miss Honda I…."

He stopped and stared at the sight before him. He turned around and stormed out of the room, hating himself for not knocking first. He didn't hear Tohru call for him. He didn't turn back. His worst nightmare had come true. He had seen Tohru and that loathsome cat. He bitterly thought about all the fights that he and Kyo had fought of the years. Kyo had never won one.

'I guess that cat finally beat me.'

End Flashback

Yuki took hold of his bag and left the school. He had stayed late for a meeting between local school presidents, waiting for one of the representatives to arrive. He never showed though and now Yuki would be walking home in the dark.

"I really don't know why I put myself in these positions."

As soon as he said that he thought back to what Shigure had said that morning.

"You'll never guess what came in the mail today. It seems that Haru had taken Hana to the lake house for the weekend. Awww….Isn't that sweet? I suppose they needed a romantic weekend. Speaking of romance, why don't you go out and find someone Yuki? I mean Haru has Hana, Kyo has Tohru. It's obvious that you need someone. After all, you don't want to work yourself to death."

'I really do hate that damn dog sometimes'

Even as he thought this Yuki couldn't deny that he was right. It had been almost an entire year after the time he had seen Tohru and Kyo kissing. It still hurt, but he knew he had to get over it. He sighed.

'Listen to me! I'm agreeing with Shigure. There is no way that this day can get any worse.'

Thunder cracked through the sky, and it started to pour down rain. His shoulders slumped in defeat.

'I was wrong.'

He ran towards any shelter he could find. He spotted a small bus stop with an over hang. He took cover under it and sat down on the bench. He decided to wait until he could catch his breath and dry off a bit. He had only been sitting for a few moments when he heard it, the sound of a girl yelling at the top of her lungs. He looked around and saw an alley not too far away from him. The shadow of four people was displayed on the wall. one of them was defiantly a girl. He rushed to help without even thinking. When he arrived he stopped dead in his tracks. The girl was breathing hard and she was holding on to her arm, but that was nothing compared to the two guys lying on the ground. They were out cold.

'Wait, two. I was sure that I had seen four shadows.'

From no where a huge figure stepped out of the shadows, lumbering towards the girls, what looked like a lead pipe in his hands. There was no way the girl could defend herself against an attack in her condition. Yuki moved fast, before the big thug could bring down his weapon on the girl. Ducked under him and then kicked hard into his stomach. He doubled over in pain, and stumbled back before falling to the ground with a loud thud. Yuki turned around to check on the girl.

"Miss, are you alright. I came to help."

His head almost flew off of his neck as the girl slapped him with as much power as she could muster. She locked two different color eyes onto his violet ones.

"I didn't need your help! I could have handled it."

Yuki didn't talk. He was mesmerized by those eyes, one green and the other blue. He couldn't see any anger in them, only fear and concern. After a minute of staring he blushed at what he must have seemed like.

"I'm sorry. I thought that you might need help. I heard you yelling and I just…"

"Well you were wrong! I don't need you're help!"

She turned to leave, but only took steps before sinking to her knees. He rushed over to her side. She was breathing hard and her face was totally flushed.

"Damn it! I can't be this weak. I have to get home."

She tried to stand again, but this time Yuki put her arm around his shoulder. She started to struggle to pull away from him, but Yuki would not have it.

"I don't know what happened or why you were attacked, but you do need help. If you would please tell me the way to your home, I would be honored to help."

She looked at him with shock written all over her face. He had been as straight forward and polite as he could. There were going to be no Ifs, ands, or buts about this. She sighed and began to give him directions. Making sure that she didn't touch his chest, they started on their way.

YEA! I hope you liked it. Okay, before there are any haters on the brief inference that Hana and Haru are a couple, please forgive me. It just seemed like the best way to get Haru out of the way, and Haru and Hana are cute together. They have matching indifference faces. So just forget about that before you review, okay?
