Me: Okay so I know I have a lot of unfinished stories but someone will just have to make sure I finish this . Enjoy.
"Tohru, you're the riceball!" A boy shouted as his finger pointed to his female classmate. Tohru sat exultingly in her seat as the other children were named their fruit. Her blue eyes sparkled and she couldn't contain a huge smile. Her short brown hair bounced as she laughed at the other kids happiness. She waited anxiously for 'riceball' to be called so she could join. Though, the clocked ticked by and nobody called her. Soon it was almost time to go. The teacher had asked the kids to be seated and only that moment did Tohru let her smile fall. She kicked her feet slightly, trying to distract herself from crying.
"I don't get it. Why wasn't I picked?" Tohru asked quietly. She didn't even think anybody heard her until she saw three kids step in front of her. The boy who had picked the names for everybody was in front of another boy and a girl. They laughed at Tohru as she whimpered.
"Because you dummy, A riceball doesn't belong in a fruits basket." The boy sneered. The other two laughed more loudly, gaining some of the other kids attention. The teacher was outside the room discussing material with another teacher. Tohru was alone. Tears threatened to fall, but Tohru sniffled them back.
"Aww look the baby's gonna cry." The girl laughed. The bell rang at that moment and Tohru launched herself out of the classroom. She sobbed and tried to wipe her tears as she ran. She didn't see where she was going and ran into someone. She looked up to see an older woman talking on her cell phone.
"Watch where you're going you little brat." She growled. Tohru whimpered and started to run another direction. A dog than barked at her down a street. Tohru screamed in terror and started to run again, away from the dog. A group of people were all huddled on a side-walk, waiting for the light to give them permission to cross the street. Tohru then took the time to view her surroundings. She became terrified when she didn't recognize anything. She looked to her left and ran into the alley, trying to seek refuge. In a corner she huddled down and brought her knees to her chest.
"Mommy!" She wailed, sobbing. "Mommy, I'm scared." She cried. Nobody payed any attention to the girl as she sobbed. Tohru gasped as she heard footsteps coming towards her. She looked up and met red eyes. She screamed as she tried to get closer to the wall.
"H-hey. It's alright. I'm not gonna hurt you." The owner of the eyes said. Tohru then looked at him. A boy about her age, but a little bit taller, bent down to meet eye level with her. He had bright orange hair and tanned skin to match his eyes. "You're Tohru right?" He asked softly. Tohru could only nod. He smiled slightly showing baby fangs in the corners of his mouth. "You're Mama's looking for you. I've come to take you home." He said. Tohru's eyes widen. And she jumped up, startling the boy and making him fall on his butt.
"Really! You're going to take me home?" She exclaimed, getting closer to his face. A pink tint crossed his tan features as he nodded. "Yay! Thank you so much, umm." She said, just figuring she didn't know he's name.
"Kyo. My name's Kyo." He said standing up and brushing himself off. "And don't mention it. Your Mama is really worried. So let's get a move on already." He said grabbing her hand. Tohru looked down and blushed from the contact. She then looked up at his face and found herself admiring him. She didn't even know how close she was to actually being home. "Alright here you are." He said stopping in front of the apartment complex and looking back at her. "Watcha staring at? Do I have something on my face?" He asked. Tohru shook her head and smiled.
"Kyo-kun is cute, that's all." She said and then panicked when she heard what she said. Kyo turned red and looked away from her. "I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say that out loud at all!" She said. She then felt kyo's grip tighten on her hand.
"I- I think T-Tohru's cute...too." He said in a whisper. Tohru stopped in her tracks. Her breath caught in her throat when he looked back at her. Suddenly Tohru was swooped up in the air by the powerful force of her Mother.
"Oh Kiddo! You did it! You brought my baby home! Thank you so much!" Kyoko shouted twirling Tohru. Kyo sweat-dropped from the affection he was watching. Tohru just giggled, loving the feeling of being back with her Mommy.
"Yes Kyo-kun saved me." She smiled at her mom. Kyoko's gaze then went to the orange headed boy.
"So that's your name huh? Kyo. What a cute name." She said smiling at him.
"It's not cute!" He yelled at her. His temper then seemed to drop when Tohru laughed. He looked at her and then down to his shoe's. Kyoko gave him a curious look. "I have to go. My master is probably worried about me." He mumbled and turned to leave.
"Wait! Kyo-kun!" Tohru yelled. He looked back to face her. "Come back tomorrow. I don't have school, so we could play all day. I mean if you want to. If you don't I understand, but-"
"Okay. I'll come and play. Sheesh calm down." He said, placing a hand on Tohru's head. Tohru blushed as she looked back up at him. Kyoko then put two and two together and smiled.
"Yeah. Come over and bring your Master. I would love to meet him." She shouted as Kyo walked away. Kyo tensed up before he then started to run off. Kyoko laughed. "He's such an awkward boy. I think your friendship would be good for him." She said to Tohru. Tohru only smiled as she watched Kyo disappear.
Me: I hoped you liked it. This mostly revolved around Tohru but the Next will be about Kyo. Yuki won't come in until the third so Yuki fans bear with me.
