Chapter 1: Nightmares

A/N: This is my first story, so please review and don't criticize me too harshly. I'm kinda new to writing fan fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own fruits basket (although I TOTALLY wish I did.)

"Help! Kyo-kun! Yuki-kun! Someone! Help!" Tohru Honda shouted in her dream. She was being chased by something in the shadows, she didn't know what. Kyo Sohma just stood there, smirking, while Yuki Sohma, Kyo's cousin, was tied to a tree. Tohru kept running toward them. Just when she thought she couldn't outrun the shadow creature, Kyo grabbed her and kissed her. The creature went after Yuki, who was struggling frantically in a huge fit of anger directed at Kyo, instead. Tohru tried to push Kyo off her.

Tohru awoke from her dream drenched in sweat and tears. She covered her mouth and ran to her bathroom. As she puked, she thought about her dream. It was the third time this week she had it. She wondered if that was how Kyo really felt about her. She looked at him like he was her brother. But she knew she was in love with Yuki.

Ugh! I feel terrible. I can't handle nightmares without Mom. I hope she's okay in heaven, Tohru thought to herself. She then heard a set of footsteps stop behind the door. After she rinsed her mouth out, she open the door to (1) see who heard her get up, and (2) go back to bed. To her surprise (and horror), Yuki stood there looking concerned.

"Are you all right, Honda-san?" He asked her looking even more worried.

"Y-Yuki-kun! I-I-I-I'm f-f-fine!" Tohru managed to get out. What's he doing here? I'm so embarrassed to have him see me like this!

"You sure? You look kind of sick. I'll go call Hato-" He began.

"No! I'm fine! Honest! I just felt sick after I had a bad dream, t-th-that's all," She said, deciding to tell the truth. Oh no! Why did I say that? Now he's gonna ask about the dream!

"Oh. What was your dream about, Honda-san?"

I knew it.

"It was nothing big, just a little gross…"

"Tell me about it, and then you will feel better."

"I'd rather not. If I talk about it, I'll just get sick again," she said, smiling.

"If you say so," he sounded doubtful. He knew Tohru was telling the truth about having the dream, but he had trouble in believing that it was just a 'gross nightmare.' He knew it had something to do with him and Kyo. He didn't know how he knew, he just did, and it made him worry even more about her. Oh, Tohru. Why don't you want to tell me the truth? What are you afraid of? No one pukes like that because of something really gross. That was out of fear. I know that all to well.

"I'm going back to bed now. What would you like for breakfast tomorrow, Yuki-kun?" she asked.

"Hmmm. How about pancakes?"

"Okay! Goodnight, Yuki-kun!" she said as she ran back up to her bedroom.

"Goodnight, Honda-san," he responded. "Sleep tight." And with that, he went back to his room. That's the third time she's done this, but only the first time I let my presence be known to her.

A/N: So how'd you like it? Not bad for my first chapter in my first fanfic, huh? I almost had Yuki kiss her, but (1) she just puked, and (2) its way too early in the story! Ha ha!
