Tohru's Dream

"Tohru I… I… lo… I love you,"

"What! What did you say?"

"I love you, I loved you since the first day you showed up at Shigure's house…"

Her large brown eyes fluttered open. Her hands tightened around the light blue blanket.

Tohru started to wake up slowly. "Where am I?"

"You're awake!" cried a happy voice.

She stared at the handsome prince of her school.

"Sohma-kun?" asked a confused Tohru looking around.

Yuki smiled getting up from his seat by the bed.

"I'll go get you something to eat!" Yuki told her rushing out of the room.

She glanced around the disorganized room. Her cheeks became flushed.

"A boy's ROOM!" she choked out blushing furiously.

"I'm in Sohma-kun's bed! How did this happen?" Wondered Tohru.

She stared down at her outfit which was covered with stains from dirt. She gasped when she noticed that she had made the bed sheets and comforter all dirty.

Yuki entered his room carrying a tray of cereal, toast and tea.

"Is something the matter?" he asked.

"I made your bed all dirty…"

Her head dropped.

"Hey, don't worry about it, do you want to eat something?" he asked holding out the tray to her.

She looked at the meal strangely.

"Don't worry! I didn't make it…. It's edible," Yuki reassured with a grin.

"Oh no! It's not that! Thank you. You didn't need to do so much!" Tohru exclaimed gratefully.

Yuki set the tray on the nightstand beside his bed.

"It was no trouble at all. Are you okay?" asked Yuki worriedly.

"I'm fine, but what happened?" Tohru asked Yuki with a confused look.

"You don't remember?"

Tohru shook her head ashamed of forgetting. The dream she had of Yuki troubled her deeply.

"You fainted when we were walking home. I brought you back here since it was closer then your house," responded Yuki as he sat down on the bed.

"I'm so sorry if I troubled you!" Tohru apologized bowing her head.

"Really it's okay!" replied Yuki.

Tohru grimly looked up at him.

"Of course I troubled you! I slept in your bed! Where did you sleep? Now it's morning and you were watching me so you didn't get to do anything else!" panicked Tohru.

"Really it was no trouble!" reassured Yuki. "I can't tell her that I didn't sleep because I was so worried! She would freak out!"

"I'll prepare a special breakfast for you and your family to thank you!" declared Tohru with a determined face.

Yuki smiled at her.

"Well first eat yours. I'll give you some privacy," replied Yuki before he left the room shutting the door quietly behind him.

Yuki went downstairs and lay down on the couch. "I'm so tired."

Tohru took a few bites of her breakfast nervously.

"What a weird dream. There is no way that Yuki could love me. No way! I can't tell anyone about this! Why did I dream that? It's not like me to be thinking about boys. Even though I do like Sohma-kun, he probably thinks of me as just a friend. Maybe even less. Why would he even look at me when there are so many other prettier girls after him?"

Tohru slowly finished her breakfast and rushed downstairs to start a thank you breakfast. She saw Yuki on the couch in the living room sleeping.

"Oh no! I made him sleep on the couch! I better get him a blanket! It's the least I could do!"

Tohru ran up to Yuki's room and grabbed the blanket and put it over Yuki.

"Tohru…don't leave me again," whispered Yuki when she started to leave the room.

" Again? I'm probably just hearing things," thought Tohru as she froze at thedoorway.

She shook her head with a faint laugh. Tohru went to the kitchen and immediately started. Odd enough to her, she knew where all the utensils were.

She quickly prepared a bunch of homemade rice balls. She set up the table neatly. It was a delicious looking meal, beautifully set. She smiled proudly at her work.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm. What smells so good?" asked Shigure happily stepping into the room.

"Breakfast!" announced Tohru.

"Tohru-kun? Am I dreaming?" asked Shigure rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

"No… I kinda fainted yesterday… So Sohma-kun brought me back here. As a thank you gift I prepared you all breakfast," explained Tohru slightly embarrassed.

"Oh, that looks delicious! What a treat!" exclaimed Shigure taking a seat at the table eyeing the food hungrily.

Shigure grabbed the nearest rice ball and chomped down on it.

"I know it's not much, but I hope you enjoy it," Tohru told Shigure.

"This is the best meal I've had in a while! You see Yuki isn't the best cook… Speaking of Yuki, where is he?" Shigure said between bites of a rice ball.

"He's taking a nap… I kinda slept in his bed… So he had nowhere to sleep," Tohru told him looking down nervously.

"Really, that idiot. He could have put you in the guest room," mumbled Shigure.

"Who's an idiot?" asked Yuki after whacking Shigure on the head.

Tohru blushed a dark shade of red. "Why did he put me in his room instead of the guest room?"

"Honda-san, did you make all of this? It looks real good," Yuki complimented ignoring the guest room remark.

"Why didn't I think of that? I guess I was too worried to think," wondered Yuki as he took a seat by Tohru.

"I hope you like it! Thanks again," Tohru replied.

Yuki beamed at her as he took a perfectly made rice ball.

A few minutes. Kyo walked into the house soon enough. He was very surprised when he saw Tohru. His eyes widened as he took a seat at the table.

"What are you doing here?" asked Kyo curiously.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I fainted yesterday… And so I had to stay here… So my thank you gift is breakfast," explained Tohru blushing even more.

Kyo took the seat farthest from Yuki and picked up a rice ball.

"Do you like them?" asked Tohru worriedly.

"They're fantastic! Fit for a king!" exclaimed Shigure.

"Don't worry about him. They really are good," reassured Yuki.

"Yeah, they are pretty good," agreed Kyo as he grabbed another rice ball.

Tohru smiled as they finished their breakfast.

"I guess I should go now," Tohru told them after washing the dishes with some help from Yuki.

"Okay, I'll walk with you again," decided Yuki as he dried his hands off with a small hand towel.

"You don't have to! You already did so much!" argued Tohru frantically.

"I would like to accompany you, really. Besides what if you faint again?" replied Yuki.

Tohru looked down at her feet slightly embarrassed.

"Okay…" agreed Tohru.

They left the house shortly after. Silently they walked both deep in thought.

"Did you have another strange dream?" asked Yuki looking at her curiously.

"Um… Not this time," lied Tohru nervously.

"Oh okay,"

Yuki didn't completely believe her but didn't want to push it. He shrugged it off deciding he got his hopes up for nothing. They continued walking not saying much. Pretty soon they arrived at her house quickly since it wasn't too far away. Yuki walked up the first few steps with her.

"Bye," Tohru told Yuki before she knocked on the door.

"See you later," replied Yuki giving her one last smile before he climbed down the steps.

"Thanks so much, for everything," Tohru added.

Yuki just smiled as he turned to leave, back to his lonely home.

"What's the point of even going back if you're not there?" they both thought.

Yuki stood there a couple of steps out of sight, and watched her go in safely. He sighed as he continued his trip back home.

The next day Hana and Uo were walking with Tohru to their class as usual when something caught there eyes. They looked at the brightly decorated flyer on the wall.

"A dance?" Hana asked reading the flyer.

"How strange. This doesn't seem like a school that does dances," added Uo as she skimmed the flyer.

"But it does sound fun! Let's go!" exclaimed Tohru excitedly.

Hana and Uo smiled at the joyful girl.

"Okay, if you want to," replied Hana.

"Maybe the prince will ask you," teased Uo with a snicker.

Tohru blushed a dark red and told them, "Probably not."

Hana looked down the hall, noticing Yuki. She was about to point this out when she realized that he was coming their way,

Yuki walked towards them and asked Tohru, "Do you feel okay? You look a little paler then yesterday."

Tohru spun around, surprised to see Yuki worried about her.

"Huh? I'm okay. Don't worry about me," responded Tohru.

"Yesterday?" asked Uo suspiciously.

"We finished the project yesterday," explained Tohru innocently.

Neither of them mentioning that she slept over.

"At his house?" asked Hana.

"Yeah," answered Yuki calmly.

As they continued their conversation the Yuki Fan club turned red with anger. They were following Yuki all day, the usual routine. They were leaning against the wall eavesdropping the whole time.

"What she was in Yuki's house before us!" exclaimed all the girls trying to muffle their voices.

"She can't go on unpunished! We'll have a meeting after school about Tohru Honda," informed Motoko seriously.

"Okay," agreed the rest of the girls.

After School the Yuki fan club met in their usual unoccupied room where they met almost everyday.

"Tohru Honda must be punished!" announced Motoko.

"Yeah, but what should we do?" asked Mio.

"We should just beat her up," offered Minami.

"But what about that wave girl and that Yankee?"

"Half of us could distract them while the rest beat her up,"

"Good idea!"

The girls continued plotting devious things until they came up with the most reasonable solution to their problem. Simply, they just needed to get the girl to stay away from the prince, and the task was not gonna be as easy as they originally thought….

"Then it's settled! Tomorrow we'll start project exterminate Tohru Honda!" decided Motoko smiling evilly.

"Agreed!" cried the Fan club girls.

The next day Uo and Hana left the school without waiting for Tohru since she was so persistent in not wanting to make them stand around for her.

"Tohru sure is taking a while…" Uo sighed.

"We should check on her…" Hana decided.

"Yeah, she probably hit her head again," Uo laughed.

Tohru's two best friends were about to reenter the school until they heard someone call their names.

"Wait! Uotani, Hanajima!" cried the girls running after them.

Uo turned around making a disgusted face when she saw the fan club.

"What do you want?" asked Uo irritated.

"It's… Tohru! She's in trouble!"

"Where is she!" asked Hana worriedly.

Her waves didn't sense anything since they are technically telling the truth

"She's over there! We'll show you!" cried Mio pointing in the opposite direction of where Tohru actually was.

They ran as fast as they could in the wrong direction. Little did they realize how much trouble Tohru really was in. Clueless and confused Uo and Hana continued to follow the girls filled with concern.

"Tohru!" called Motoko as the rest of the girls cornered her at her locker.

"Yes," responded Tohru nervously trying to back up.

"You've done terrible things! You aren't allowed to speak to the prince again!" screamed Motoko angrily slapping her across her face.

Tohru looked up at them clutching her cheek innocently.

"Don't give us that innocent look," muttered Minami.

Two members grabbed her arms and held her tight as the rest of the girls took turns beating her. Tohru was barely conscious when they heard a voice say, "What are you doing? Stop!"

Yuki ripped the hands of the members off of Tohru. He glared at all of them angrily causing them to retreat and leave immediately. Yuki picked up Tohru gently in his strong arms.

"Sohma-kun?" asked Tohru tiredly.

"Shh, rest," ordered Yuki.

He lifted her out of the school, and ran into Uo and Hana running frantically around.

"Oh my god! What happened to her!" asked Uo half worried and half angry.

"Ask them they should know," Yuki looked at the girls from his fan club.

"What!" cried Uo angrily.

"So you were tricking us all along," concluded Hana harshly.

The girls started to back away, scared of being hurt.

"Where are you girls going? We're not done with you just yet!" shouted Uo as she pulled up her sleeves.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed the girls as they ran away.

Yuki left the school. Practically running home, but trying to hold on to Tohru carefully. He burst into the house noisily.

"What happened to her?" Kyo and Shigure asked in unison.

"The idiotic fan girls beat her up!" answered Yuki.

He went upstairs and put her on the bed in her old room. Shigure and Kyo followed quickly.

"Is she going to be okay?" asked Kyo.

"I don't know," answered Yuki.

"Well, don't just stay there! Make yourselves useful! Kyo call Hatori and tell him to come right away and Yuki go get the first aid kit!" ordered Shigure.

"What about you? What are you supposed to be doing!" Asked Yuki and Kyo.

"Someone has to watch Tohru, in case she wakes up," Shigure answered with a arrogant smile.

Yuki ran down the stairs and grabbed the first aid kit and ran back up while Kyo ran to the phone and quickly called Hatori.

"Hatori is coming," Kyo told them when he returned to the room.

Yuki came back right after Kyo holding their first aid kit in his arms.

"Good, Yuki hand me the first aid kit," Shigure commanded.

"What am I your dog?" asked Yuki as he tossed the package to Shigure.

Shigure fumbled with the box and looked clueless as he opened the box.

"Do you even know what your doing!" asked Kyo and Yuki.

"Um no," responded Shigure honestly.

"What!" cried them both as they knocked him out.

Hatori walked into the room shortly after.

"Get out!" he ordered kicking everyone out of the room.

They all left and patiently waited outside. Yuki and Kyo paced around while Shigure lay down from pain. In a few minutes Hatori came out expressionlessly.

"Don't disturb her now. Explain this to me then you can see her," Hatori told them as he shut the door.

Yuki told them the entire story in a rush and then darted upstairs.

Tohru just laid there. All bandaged. She almost looked like a mummy.

"Tohru, please be okay," prayed Yuki.

Tohru stirred but didn't wake.
