Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket! D
Hallo again! This is the reload of the first chapter! It's not much longer, but from the fact that this story is marked as complete and consists of over forty thousand words, I think I can deal with that. Please, read on!
It was a bright and sunny Friday morning. The grass was green, the sky was blue, and wonderful little birds were chirping their morning songs with merriment and pleasure. Well, maybe it wasn't so perfect, but this is what Tohru thought of it all.
"Oi, morning, Tohru" Kyo said as he grumpily sauntered into the tidy kitchen, following his routine of first drinking milk strait from the carton and then settling down at the table to wait for breakfast. Tohru jumped, she hadn't heard him.
"Oh, Kyo-kun, I didn't see you there! Isn't it beautiful out today?" Tohru beamed optimistically as she kept dutifully at the stove-top. "Oh, breakfast is ready! I better go get Yuki-kun and Shigure-san!"
"Ok." Kyo watched her practically skip out of the kitchen, letting a small grin slip his grumpy exterior. Sometimes just watching her go about was just enough to cheer him up. Funny how love affects you, isn't it?
A few minutes later, Tohru came blissfully bouncing back into the kitchen with an exceedingly joyful Shigure and an incredibly sluggish Yuki in her wake. The rat was crossly grumbling about something that sounded like stupid cats and how annoying the sun was.
"Ooh, what magnificent banquet has my flower cooked up for us this morning?" Shigure plopped down in his respective seat and, with one brief, fleeting look over the food, started to hastily pile Tohru's cooking from the main dish straight into his open mouth.
"Why are you so happy so early?" Yuki groggily asked, while nibbling daintily on his breakfast. Shigure smiled his brightest, just to annoy Yuki. And guess what, it worked.
"Hatori asked if he could sleep over tonight, he has some business around here and will be out too late for him to drive back!" Shigure grinned at Yuki, either ignoring or completely oblivious to his cantankerous state.
"Oh, so we will be seeing Hatori-san today? I never got to thank him for healing me so many times! I'll make sure to make a great dinner for him!" Tohru smiled ear-to-ear and got up to pick up her heavy backpack. "We've got to school go now. Goodbye, Shigure-san!"
"Oi, it's time to go already?" And with that, Kyo picked himself up and ran after Tohru like a duckling after its mother.
There was a long pause as Shigure stared at Yuki, who was not moving, face in his food, to get to school. Finally, he decided to talk.
"Um, Yuki, shouldn't you be going to school, too?" There was no response, so Shigure did the next thing that came to mind, poke him. "Yuki-kun!?!"
"Oh, I guess I fell asleep again, sayonara." He, too, ran out, rice sticking to his pale face. Shigure watched him go, laughing like a hyena.

Sorry it isn't long, but I'm afraid that I can't do much to this chapter. Nothing is meant to happen yet, I just need to tell a few details before getting the action into swing. When I look back at the next few chapters I feel very pitiful, so please don't mind them. Ja' ne!
