Prologue: The Grizzly Attack

"Mom? Where are you? I'm scared!" cried out a young girl, who had been wandering the forest of which she and her mother had been camping in.

"Roo-chan? Is that you?" asked a familiar voice, who just came up from behind 'Roo-chan'. The young girl seemed scared when the voice piped up from behind her.

"Don't do that, Ayaakame-san. You know I scare easily. Do you know where my mom is?" asked 'Roo-chan', who-by the minute, was getting worried about her mother. Ayaakame didn't seem to know either.

"I don't know, little Tohru-chan. Maybe she's back at camp. C'mon, let's go check, okay?" Ayaakame had seemed sure, but just a hint of fear laced her voice, but Tohru paid no heed.

"Okay, Ayaakame." She said, as she took hold of her older cousin's hand. Ayaakame smiled at her 10 year old cousin's antics.

'Someday, someone just might fall on their face at Tohru's antics… be it be polite or childlike.' Thought Ayaakame to herself, as she led Tohru to their small camp. But when they got their, everything was a wreck… the fire was put out recently—there were little wisps of smoke coming from the old campfire, the tents—all three of them—were torn to shreds, and everything was scattered everywhere. But the one thing that caught Tohru's eyes were dark red droplets everywhere. But before she could even take one step into the wrecked camp, Ayaakame's hands went over Tohru's eyes, taking her by surprise.

"Ayaakame-san? What's going on? Why are you blinding me?" asked a frantic Tohru, as she felt herself being turned around to the opposite direction, so that the wreckage was behind her.

"Believe me, Tohru, when I say that what you saw is not something for you to see… not now and hopefully not ever. Now stay in that position and don't move from it." Commanded Ayaakame, as she evaluated the damage as Tohru just stood there, and when she turned to look at Tohru, she wished she hadn't kept Tohru there… for right in front of the area where Tohru had just been standing, A grizzly bear was seen lumbering after little 10 year old Tohru, who was scampering away as fast as her legs would take her.

Tohru was scared beyond anything now. All she could do now, was hope that help would come… she had to find the wolves around her home… they knew her and would come to her aid. So she went into the direction of the wolves den, where she had befriended many wolves and they her. When she thought that she was far away enough to call for her friends, she stopped and howled a cry for help to her friends, who would, hopefully make it in time before the bear came upon. Just then the howl stopped, and Tohru chanced a look behind her and found the grizzly bear coming in her direction. So all she could do was run for her life.

Meanwhile, the wolves had heard another wolf cry… but it was not one of their own, it was a human girl that they had befriended and knew that she needed their help. So off they ran to help their friend. They followed their sense of direction and instincts that would lead them to little Tohru. They eventually found her. Tohru had tripped on a overgrown tree root, just as the wolf howl came out again… this time not out of her, but out of her friends… the wolves had come to help.

Tohru kept on running for her life as the grizzly was only just about three maybe four feet behind her, when she tripped on an overgrown tree root, and would've landed on her face, had her arms not automatically come out in front of her and stopped her from landing on it. But she now had a twisted ankle and couldn't run anymore. So she only twisted herself around so that she was facing the fiercest bear in the world and wait for her death… but wait… her death was going to be prolonged… because just then a wolf cry was heard, but not out of her, her friends had just now arrived to help her out of her predicament.

The wolves jumped on the grizzly and started to slash at the bear and did whatever it took to ward off the great grizzly bear from their dear human friend. Finally, after all the fighting, the bear—who had grown tired and bored of fighting the wolves as a pack, finally gave up the fight and chase, and left the wolves and human girl alone. Tohru was grateful to the wolves who had more than once, saved her life. Once from drowning, another time from getting herself too lost in their forest, and just now saving her life from the most dangerous bear on earth. When wolves came near to see if she was alright, she flung her arms around the nearest wolf and cried, when she finally let go, they saw her eyes were red from crying, and they all huddled near to try and keep her warm, which succeeded greatly, as she was very tired from running away from the bear.

When Tohru felt warm all around her, she felt them crouching around her and whining for her to get on their backs and that they'll carry her back to their den. She knew that they were strong enough to carry her, so she gratefully climbed on one of the great wolves back and rode all the way back to their den, Tohru, not knowing what was going to happen to her, fell asleep on the wolf's back, but when they got back to their den, she was fast asleep, and they laid her down on some soft grass in the side of the den, near the opening of the den. She moaned in her sleep, and turned toward the source of the warmth.

The wolves looked fondly down at her while she slept, knowing that in the morning, she wouldn't remember a thing… not her name, not her family or friends, not even the times when they had saved her life. But they were determined to help her. They would befriend her just like the first time… They would help her regain what she had lost… her memory.

A/n: Konnichiwa, minna-san! This is my first Fruits Basket fic. I hope all of you enjoy this. I'm in the process of thinking up ideas for this story… among the others that I'm writing. So please R&R… or I just might trash this story… that would depend on who likes it and who doesn't.

Until the next time,

Peace out,
