Title: A Lost Childhood
Pairing: Yuki x Tohru
Rating: G or K
Genre: Romance/Tragedy
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket. If I did, the latest chapters of Fruits Basket would have gone differently.
Summary: A collection of related short childhood drabbles that tell a story about 'what if' events between Yuki and Tohru. A lost childhood, from beginning to the end. (Set of Drabbles) (Yuki x Tohru)
Just to note, these incidents of course never happened in Fruits Basket (besides one, but I kind of tweaked it a bit). These are just a series of related drabbles that explores the events if Yuki and Tohru actually met each other when they were little. From beginning to the end, their forgotten childhood together, both sweet and bitter.
A note for bubbles078: Don't worry, I will get to writing up that fic you suggested for me to write in your review from my last Fruits Basket fic. Do you mind if it has an almost non-existent bit of romance in it? Not actual romance, just some fond thoughts that's all.

Drabble #1: The Classroom
-----------
The teacher looked at her students and said, "Okay class, today we are going to play Fruit Basket. Who will be what?"
The children ran around and started picking each other.
"Orange."
"Apple."
"Peach."
"Pear."
"Tohru is rice ball!"
Rice balls are yummy, thought Tohru who had her typical spaced-out absent expression on.
A little boy's violet eyes watched this.
A rice ball doesn't belong in a fruit basket. Why did they say she was rice ball? He wondered.
His eyes widened when he then realized that the boys who he usually saw teasing her were going to play another mean trick on her. He didn't really know her, but for some reason, he didn't want her to feel sad.
One by one, the children were called, and Little Tohru waited patiently for herself to be called.
After everyone was called, she began to lose hope.
No one is going to call me, are they? She thought sadly. Until...
"Rice ball!"
Someone did it. Someone finally called her!
Tohru stood up from her chair and ran to the group of children. She was so happy that she was called, so she forgot to ask who called her.
Across the room, the little boy with violet eyes smiled.

There, Drabble #1 is finished. Stay tuned for Drabble #2!
Any comments or constructive criticism would be appreciated. Please review if you can. Don't complain about the shortness though. Most drabbles are usually very short(especially mine).
Thank you for reading!
