Summary: There's a big dance in 1 week and it seems almost everyone has their eyes on Tohru. Well everyone with a certain family secret anyway.
Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, own nothing. Not a single thing that has anything to do with Anime or Fruits Basket. This story is for entertainment purposes only.
Note: If you really want to know everyone has the same voices as they do in the English version of the Anime. (That way Yuki won't be a girl…Or at least I won't mistake him as one…)
Chapter 1
The Big News
"The Student Council has decided to hold a spring event, something that hasn't happened in all my years as president," President Tikai (sorry for spelling…correct me if you wish) announced in front of the class. He smirked proudly as everyone in the class murmured to themselves out of curiosity.
"Ha! Knowing you it'll be something stupid," Kyo complained loudly, feet splayed out on his desk and arms crossed across his chest.
"Oh come on Kyon Kyon! It might be fun!" Surrounding classmates teased.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Kyo screamed, sliding his feet off the desk.
Tohru smiled slightly at him, before returning her attention to President Tikai as he spoke, "Oh please. Someone who breaks so many rules like dying your hair odd colors and bringing cats to school should hardly have any say at all."
"IT'S MY NATURAL COLOR! AND THOSE AREN'T MY CATS!"
"Aww… Kyon Kyon loooves his cats!"
"DAMN! I'VE HAD ENOGH!" Kyo leapt up from his seat with lighting speed and stormed out of the classroom, blasting the door open as he left. Tohru looked after him, concerned and slightly unsettled. He might get in serious trouble for this… She thought to herself.
"Well, now that that's settled you're all probably wondering what this event is! Do you want to know?" Tikai asked, trying to build suspense. Everyone in the class just stared at him, not wanting to encourage him. "Hmm. Then I won't tell you."
"Just tell us," Yuki said softly.
"We're holding a spring dance!" President Tikai exclaimed, unable to hold his excitement in any longer.
A dance!? Oh that's great! Tohru thought excitedly, as people groaned and whispered amongst themselves.
"Yes, and it's in one week from today, next Friday. You might as well use the weekend to prepare, as I'll be planning and making myself the real reason for the wonderful dance!" Tikai said proudly. Nobody praised him, but a muttered, "idiot," could be heard from the class. "Well… Yeah, go have a fun time everyone," Tikai said, discouraged from the lack of enthusiasm. He left the classroom, just as the bell rang.
"Are you excited? Yuki-kun? Kyo-kun?" Tohru asked as the three walked down the forest path.
"Yes Miss Honda, it should be fun," Yuki said with a small smile.
"I guess…" Kyo said lamely.
"I wonder what I should wear? Oh no! I forgot to ask if it was formal or not!" Tohru cried, freaking out.
"Don't worry, it'll be formal," Yuki assured.
"And if not you'll get a lot of attention if you show up in a dress," Kyo said.
"Oh no!"
"Relax, I was kidding. Of course its formal."
"Phew. That's a relief," Tohru said, exhaling deeply. "I still don't know what to wear though!"
"Don't worry so much! Jeez it's just a stupid dance," Kyo said, averting his eyes.
"I'm sure miss Hana or miss Uo will help you find a proper dress," Yuki said.
"Oh you're right I never thought of that," Tohru said thoughtfully. "Of course I'll have to help them too! How could I forget, I should go talk to them right away and see if they need any help!"
"Well don't spend too much thinking time you'll just get stressed. I don't want you getting a fever again," Kyo said.
"Huh? Oh don't worry about me Kyo! I'll be fine," Tohru reassured. I'm glad Kyo and Yuki are being so helpful… Oh no! Maybe I'm too busy focusing on myself! "But- Umm… Enough of me! What are you going to wear?"
"Huh?' Kyo asked, looking surprised at the question. "Pants and a dress shirt I guess…"
"We don't have as many options as you, Miss Honda. It seems as though we don't have to worry quite as much,' Yuki explained.
"Well you could get away with wearing a dress, you've already done it once you damn cross-dressing rat!" Kyo yelled.
"Be quite stupid cat! I don't want to hear that ever again!" Yuki said firmly raising his voice.
"Oh uh… Look! We're home!" Tohru exclaimed, pointing madly at the Soma's house.
"So we are," Yuki said, distracted. "Come on, Miss Honda, some vegetables are ripe if you want to help me pick them."
"Of course! That's sounds wonderful," Tohru said with a happy smile. "I'll just go put my things away," she called after them as she ran ahead of them to the house.
"You better not ask her to the dance, damn rat," Kyo warned, his tone dangerous.
"What's it to you, idiot?" Yuki demanded.
"Wha?… Nothing!" Kyo said, flustered.
"I thought so." Yuki walked ahead, heading to the house.
Kyo grumbled, slowing down dramatically. "That damn fucking rat…"
