I do not own Fruits Basket or its characters
This is my first fan fiction, so I'm very excited. In the manga, Tohru's eyes are brown, but in the anime, they are blue. I am going off the manga. If you have any tips, suggestions, or questions, please review or email me. No flaming please, although constructive criticism is accepted. This will probably be a Yukiru fan fiction, or a Yukyoru but I dunno yet. Thank you. -

Let's Stay Together…Always
Chapter 1A Soap Opera Unfolds
Beep, beep, beep; the rude sound of an annoying alarm clock sounded, causing a pair of warm chocolate eyes to open slightly. Tohru Honda awoke on a seemingly normal Friday. It was the last school day before Spring Break. She moaned softly, closing her eyes for the brief, sweet moment of peace and quiet, and then opened them quickly as she threw off the fluffy pink covers of her bed. "Good Morning, Mom!" Tohru smiled, blowing a tuff of her bed head hair out of her eyes. She hurriedly changed into her school clothes, made her bed, brushed her teeth, you know, all that jazz.
Carefully she opened her door, making sure she didn't wake the slumbering Sohmas. "What should I make today?" she thought. "Hmm...rice, nimono, fish? That sounds good! I wonder if Yuki-kun has brought any veggies from the base to make soup with." On that last thought, Tohru had reached the kitchen. She grabbed her white apron decorated with mini strawberries and tied it into a bow around her waist.
Soon, the kitchen smelled of good home-cooking. The delicious smell wafted through the house, awakening one particular energetic Sohma. "Tohru-kun, my lovely little flower, I believe I smell breakfast! Am I correct?" Shigure Sohma eye's lit up animatedly. He felt very lively today, even more than usual if that was possible. "Yes, it's almost ready!" Tohru smiled. Shigure smiled and before walking out of the kitchen announced, "O, and Tohru, I will be in my study. Ah," he dramatically exclaimed, as Tohru seemed on the verge to speak, "Dear, Tohru, you needn't worry though, I will be here to eat the meal in which you spent your precious time on! Okay!" "Ano…hai…" she managed to whisper before he bolted out of the kitchen.
Tohru smiled fondly at the overly dramatic but kind writer. As she thought of his fast-talk and bouncy personality as he spoke about her cooking, she couldn't suppress the small giggle that was bubbling up inside her. Soon it became a regular laugh, her harmonic voice moving up a few notes and then down. "Honda-san?" a soft, kind voice asked. Tohru turned around, and found herself staring into gorgeous, amethyst eyes, eyes of which belonged to Yuki Sohma, "Prince" of the high school that Yuki, Kyo, Momiji, Haru, and she attended. He was smiling at her, his true smile, not the ones he gave at school. No, this smile directed to her would have made his fan club girls hate her even more, and love Yuki more. Tohru flushed a bit, noticing she hadn't said anything. O my gosh! Have I been staring at him without saying a word! Her face deepened its pink tone. "Sumimasen, Yuki-kun! Ah! Breakfast will be ready in about five minutes!" "Eh? To--…Honda-san, there's no reason to be sorry. Would you mind getting me when it's ready? I'll be at our base." Yuki winked, only bringing back the pink tint to Tohru's cheeks. "He's never said our base before…" she thought as Yuki waved and stepped out of the house.
Tohru continued to stir the soup for a couple more minutes. "Oi!" a gruff, but soft voice yelled. "Aahh!" she yelped, dropping the spoon. She looked up to see an orange-haired, amber-eyed teenager. "O, Kyo-kun! You surprised me." He picked up the spoon for her. "You're clumsy, you know. Be careful," he stated, picking up the rice and the fish platters and taking them to the already set table. "Arigatou, Kyo-kun!" she smiled, bringing over the soup bowl and nimono dish. Flushing a bit, Kyo returned the smile, which made Tohru even happier.
"Romance…" a voice whispered through the door. Kyo, madly blushing, grabbed the knob and threw the door open, revealing a snickering Shigure. "SHIGURE!" Kyo growled through clenched teeth, as he grabbed the dog's yukata. "Heh…," Shigure sighed, before Kyo thwacked him over the head with his fist, knocking him to the floor. "O, Tohru-kun!" the dog sobbed, scampering behind her. "Kyo-kun has hit me, but alas, the delicious scent of your food brought me back!" He placed his hands on her shoulders and put his cheek near hers, conjuring up a sad puppy dog face for Kyo. "KUSO HENTAI!" Kyo screamed, sautering over to sit by Shigure, whom had already plopped down to eat. Right as Tohru finished putting out all the plates, Shigure questioned her. "Maa, such a good meal shouldn't be wasted, but I wonder where Yuki is?" he asked, almost implying her to tell him where Yuki was or for Tohru to go find him. "O!" Tohru piped, "Let me go get him!"
Shigure smiled, chewing on the fish. This little "soap opera" would be interesting. He only wondered what the outcome would be; Yuki or Kyo? Or would Tohru actually pick another? He sat deep in thought as he glanced at Kyo. Only, the moment was not at the right time. Kyo saw Shigure and was suspicious. "What the hell do you want, kuso inu!" Kyo yelled. "Kyo! I'm shocked! To think that you would treat me that way? I--" Too late for the loud-mouthed dog, he was whacked once again. Kyo grunted as Shigure let out a single owwie, before clutching his hands over his head and falling to the ground.
