AN ADVENTUROUS DAY

by BlackRosePoet

AN: Ok, I started writing this two years ago in math class, before I had read any Demon Diary at all(only fan fics), and I didn't have much knowledge of Fruits Basket either. So the major discrepancies, and plot holes, and the like are caused by this. I would change them, but that would require some rewriting which I am unwilling, and don't have time to do. I apologize for the lack of knowledge of Demon Diary that went into this first chapter. Please try and overlook the mistakes, but I am willing to accept all flames due to them. This was the first fic I started writing, so be kind and forgive my lack of writing skill.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket, Demon Diary, or any of the characters in them, just this rather odd story.

Warning: Characters OOC due to lack of knowledge and experience. And implied Raenef and Eclipse, if you look for it.

"Oh I do hope Shigure-san is all right. I should have stayed to take care of him so he didn't have to fix his own meals and all. I really hope he isn't having any trouble," Tohru exclaimed in a concerned tone.

"Don't worry Honda-san, before we left Hatori made Shigure go back to stay at the main house, so he could just rest and be taken care of," Yuki responded consolingly.

Hatori had taken Kyou, Yuki, and Tohru on a trip when Shigure had fallen ill during one of their school vacations. The only cure for Shigure was constant rest, so to allow him such Hatori had brought the three to a vacation home of the Sohma's for several weeks. There was a small town very close to the house, and a mountain on the other side of the town. Some of the people said there was an evil being who lived in an unseen castle on the mountain, but that was just local legend, right?

One day when Kyou and Yuki were busy elsewhere Tohru decided to go down to the village to find something special for dinner. Just as she walked into town she saw what appeared to be a young blond girl wondering around aimlessly. Yet as she got closer she realized it was a boy who kind of reminded her of Momiji, and by the look on his face he had no idea of where he was going.

"Hello, are you looking for something? Can I help you find it?" Tohru asked him.

"Oh!" the boy exclaimed with surprise, "Hello. No, I wasn't looking for anything, I was just... exploring"

"Oh, you must be new here! I'm just here on vacation! My name is Tohru." she stated with her normal level of excitement.

"I'm Raenef," the boy said a little uncertainly.

"Oh, well I am very glad to meet you! I'm going to the market to get something for dinner, would you like to join me? I could show you around on the way"

"All right" he said still wary of this strange girl.

So off they went to the market; Tohru ecstatic to have found a new friend. Raenef casually wondered if all mortals were like this girl or if she was an oddity to everyone. Raenef followed Tohru listening to her chatter as she showed him all the most important places in town.

Suddenly Raenef yelled out for it seemed that someone had randomly appeared behind him, and grabbed his shoulder.

Turning, Tohru gasped, "Shigure," but was then struck speechless as she realized that this was most definitely a stranger.

Raenef, on the other hand, was obviously very familiar with the man, and began sporadically trying to apologize, and explain what exactly he was doing in town, while blushing furiously.

"Do not trouble yourself over it my lord, but let's go before you make another mistake, like this morning," the man said, causing Tohru to blink at his form of address.

"Eclipse, I didn't mean to blow a hole in the castle this morning, really I didn't. It's just that that magic is so hard," Raenef pleaded.

"Castle, magic, lord!" Tohru spluttered with amazement, "What on earth is going on?"
