MOMO 'S LOVE

Disclaimer: Before you write idiot comments about me owning Fruits Basket/Furuba I'm telling you I don't, No matter how much I wish I did, I don't!

Now let's get this story started!

The sunlight poured into my little tent. It filled my soft skin with warmth, as I tossed and turned trying to stop either, me from waking up, or, from my dream.

It was truly a nightmare, my mother stood there crying, whispering over and over," Momo, don't worry about me, I'll be fine! You just stay safe." I can't believe, I could believe such crap. I knew she wasn't going to be fine, I was selfish, self-centered. I wanted to feel as if she was going to be Okay, but car crashes don't leave people fine. I knew that.

I woke with a jolt of un-expectance. I blinked a few times while, stretching out my back. Grass, was NOT comfortable. I yawned with a hint of laziness.

'First day of school' I repeated out loud,

'First day of school'

I was incredible how I, a young 16 year old girl would live they way I did.

Everyday I woke up rather early to get ready for school. My supplies were not the greatest and you could even say they pretty well sucked. All I had was; a toothbrush, a hairbrush, school uniform, sleeping bag, a picture of me and my mom, and of course my school stuff. It's not the 'ideal' life for a young girl like me...But, what can I do.

I brushed out my hair like any other day that morning. I put it up in a little ponytail, not to expect I should've put it up more neatly. Today was the day when EVERYTHING in my life changed. I finally got what I wanted, it was all too sweet!

I walked it school everyday, no school bus. Even when it was cold, I walked. I just moved from a different spot. From mom's, to the woods.

Fun times, hey. Living in the woods… alone.

Sure I could've stayed with my friends, Seri and Ai wouldn't of minded, but, bothering them was like a disease to me. I didn't want them to say no and I be disappointed, also I did it to them all the time for stupid things.

As I walked to school that day I noticed a little house. It was a quaint, rather quiet. I loved it automatically when I seen the little pictures on the door. A cat, a rat, all the members of the Zodiac! CUTE! A CAT! They believed the story to about the cat in the Zodiac! As I was just about to make my way, someone appeared in the doorway.

"You like the Zodiac right" The voice rang through my ears.

I looked back and saw a man, probably not that old, but definitely NOT a teenager like me.

"Yeah, especially that, Cat, Rat and Dog!" I replied.

"That's nice to hear! What's your name?" Did someone just ask my name? Well he's not hurting me, why not?

"My name is Momoko, Momo for short! What's yours?"

"Shigure Sohma. Nice to meet you Momo!"

I couldn't help it I HAD to blurt out.

"SOHMA! AS IN YUKI AND KYO SOHMA! OH MY GOD!"

I was bit happy to know I was right in front of the house of Yuki. The most Popular guy in school and Kyo, his Hot cousin! I couldn't believe something as wonderful as this happened.

"Yeah, I see you've heard of them, they're actually getting ready for school right now." Shigure said in a matter of factly voice.

"Really!"

"Why would I lie to you, Momo?"

I screamed then jumped up and down. Just as I was having my little 'Fangirlie fit' Yuki walked out.

"Shigure, are you harassing this girl?" He said in a dreamy kind of knight in shining armour way.

"No! He's not he's just introducing himself, Yuki." Why was I getting sheepish now?

"Okay, then. Um, may you introduce yourself?

"I'm Momoko, Momo for short. I'm honored to meet you!"

"The honour is all mine Momo." Yuki finished, secretly, I blushed. At the very moment Yuki and I finished introducing ourselves, an agitated voice yelled out…"WHAT THE HELL! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FREAKIN' MILK!" That's when I saw his orange hair appear from behind the zodiac covered door.
