Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket!

Cassidy's POV

I was surprised at how easily I put my smile back on, I thought as I climbed into bed with my Manga it's called Ouran High School host Club! It's really funny and the twins Hikaru and Kaoru are my favourite!

As I finished I wound up falling asleep but my nightmares had come back! This time it was a series of them!

(Nightmares)

It was the day of the accident with me crying over the bodies wrapped in the bags! Not wanting to let them go, the pictures of their lifeless bodies devoid of colour, still flashing in my mind!

All I had wanted was my dad but I knew that changed the moment I had stepped through that door!

Then they were flashes pictures!

Him beating me

NO

Him cutting me

STOP

Him hovering above me

PLEASE NO STOP!

(End)

Then I actually felt warmth I started thrashing around!

"No stop its ok I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise"

When I heard this I stopped thrashing and pulled whoever this was closer when they tried to leave "please stay, don't let him hurt me, don't let him find me" I cried clutching whoever it was!

Kyo's POV

Tohru was finishing up making supper, and Shigure and that damn rat disappeared to somewhere so I had to go get Cassidy for supper, just my luck!

As I walked up to her door I heard crying but it was very faint then I heard mumbling "no don't leave me please come back I don't want you to die"

I opened the door to see Cassidy rolling around and thrashing in her bed!

Nightmare I went to comfort her and try to wake her up but as I got closer to her she got louder "NO" I sat next to her and hugged her "STOP" she started crying I didn't know what to do so I cradled her and brushed her hair out of her face "PLEASE NO STOP" she cried again!

I tried talking to her "No stop its ok I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise" I said rocking her back and forth! Almost as soon as I said that she settled down! I had no idea what I was doing! WHY ON EARTH AM I HUGGING HER AND HOW?

As I tried to leave she immediately pulled me back and started crying again!

JEEZE HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH CRYING GIRLS!?

"please stay, don't let him hurt me anymore, don't let him find me" she pleaded and I had no idea what she was talking about after about ten minutes she settled down and I snuck away deciding to forget what just happened! I closed her door softly figuring she could use the sleep!

I got back downstairs "Kyo where is Cassie-chan?" Tohru asked setting plates on the table, "she was sleeping and I didn't want to wake her up" I told Tohru sitting down and digging into my food, wondering what just happened!

Cassidy's POV

I woke up with a start and got out of bed looking at the clock, its already 12 how did I sleep so long?

I wondered pulling on my usual clothes, Black skinny jeans, a black tank top, my leather jacket, and my combat boots before brushing my hair and putting it in a messy bun!

As I went downstairs I heard talking as I rounded the corner! I saw everyone but Shigure and Hatori sitting down eating lunch! There was even a plate left out for me so I went to my seat and started eating!

"Good morning Cassidy-Chan!" said Yuki and Tohru at the same time whereas Kyo just nodded "good morning everybody" I replied!

"So Cassie-chan Yuki, Kyo and I were just going for a walk would you like to come?" Tohru asked in that sweet way she has "sure and just call me Cassie Ok?" I said!

TIME SKIP TO THE WALK!

STILL CASSIE POV

The walk was silent but it was good we were playing around a lot, and then as usual Yuki and Kyo got in an argument over him being accepted to the family or something like that, then also as I was coming to realize as usual, Yuki beat him!

I fell sorry to Kyo and I genuinely like him… NOT that I would ever tell him that but I think I'm getting along better with everybody and I think they accept me to some extent.

They also seem like a real family, but then again how would I know? I haven't had a real family for about 10 years! I was so deep in thought I didn't notice the three start talking about going to a lake!

I wonder what they're secret is and I just realized it but Kyo always looks sad. He has kind of the same expression I do!

Hey wait they are all in my class and since I live with them maybe we can be friends at school? Hmm but then I might meet new people maybe in school I should avoid them?

I was instantly pulled out of my thoughts by two loud splashes I jumped and looked up to see the Kyo and Yuki swimming!

Oh god! I started hyperventilating and shaking I saw Tohru get to the water and also jump in after Yuki reassuring her that he would help her if she got tired!

I could barely breathe memories started to take over my consciousness!

``Aww what's the matter is Cassie scared of water?" Kyo taunted, I didn't even know he been standing next to me when did he get out of the lake? Then I realized Yuki and Tohru were out too and were just sitting on the shore a ways away!

Suddenly I was shoved off the ledge and fell towards the water. I heard Kyo cackling but then screams drowned him out, oh wait those were my screams!

I didn't have time to suck in a breath before I hit the water, my ears popped and I knew I was sinking, but I couldn't do anything or move my arms the memories were surrounding me I couldn't feel my body anymore.

All I saw was my dad with my arms and legs tied shoving me face down into our swimming pool multiple times, not to kill me no to torture me. To have me on the verge of death and in pain only to bring me up and make me face the torture over and over again!

I gave up fell and fell limp. The pressure and burning of my lungs was excruciating my brain started to go fuzzy.

When suddenly, I felt hands, hands pulling at me and dragging me up to the surface. When I felt the cool air I gasped in a breath looking up at the concerned faces of Yuki and Tohru.

Then I turned my head and saw Kyo soaking wet and exhausted! "WHAT THE HELL! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU COULDN'T SWIM!" he yelled at my face!

"I can swim" I mumbled quietly.

"WHAT! THEN WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU? YOU ALMOST DROWNED! AND I HAD TO JUMP IN AND SAVE YOUR ASS!"

"I know how to swim I just couldn't, and you're the one who pushed me in the water!" I said and sighed as painfully pulled myself up. I was completely and utterly exhausted but I still managed to run all the way home and climb into bed not even bothering to change!

Kyo's POV

What the does she mean? She knows how to swim she just couldn't? And why did she look so scared?

I started to feel bad about pushing her in earlier but I still saved her and she didn't drown!

Normally when people are scared of water they react but she looked absolutely petrified, and hers seems to on a way higher scale! Maybe it has something to do with that nightmare she had! I wonder… I will find out her secret eventually, and I will figure out why I could hug her this morning, I wonder if that's a onetime thing and how does it work? I thought as we got back to the house! We got changed and each went to do our own thing.

I wonder if Cassie is ok?

Done YAY

I have one thing to say!
