I don't own Fruits Basket or any of the characters. Kana is my character and the name was a mistake.


This Christmas would be one Kana Sohma would never forget. It all started on a regular afternoon. Her mamma was in the kitchen cooking dinner. Kana was in the living room playing with her dolls . The room was small but open. A few couches and chairs surrounded the room with a beautiful Christmas tree in the corner. Kana was sitting in front of the half finished tree when her father came home from work.

"Daddy!" Kana dropped her dolls and ran to give her papa a hug. He bent down and scooped her up into his embrace.

"Hey there sweetheart! Were you a good girl for your mamma?" he said as he placed a kiss on the top of her head. Kana wrapped her arms around his neck and squeezed. Her mamma walked out of the kitchen to welcome her husband home.

She walked over and gave him a hug. "Welcome Home Yuki!"

"It's good to be home Machi." Yuki set Kana back on the floor so he could hug Machi. As Machi hugged him she felt heat emanating from him. She put her hand on his forehead and flinched from the heat coming from him.

"Yuki your forehead is burning up! Are you feeling alright?" Yuki's smile faded as he slowly shook his head.
He quietly said, "I think I might have a cold," so as not to alert Kana who was back in front of the tree playing with her dolls. Machi pushed some hair out of her eyes and looked at her husband worriedly. His gray hair was slightly damp from sweating, his face was flushed, and he looked very tired.

"I'm going to get the thermometer. Kana, watch your father for me." Kana nodded towards her mamma as she went down the hall.

"Daddy? Are you okay? Mamma looked worried." Yuki kneeled down next to her and smiled. Kana cocked her head and put her hands on his cheeks. "Your face is all red and hot." All of a sudden Yuki felt a sharp pain move through his chest. He clutched his shirt as breathing became difficult. His body hunched over and he coughed trying to get air into his lungs. Each breath felt like someone stabbing him in the chest. Kana was so scared and confused by what was happening. She didn't know what to do so she did the only thing she could.

"MAMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
