Hey guys. So I basically just fell in LUV with the manga/anime Fruits Baskets.

Don't judge.

Anywho. This story is starting from the very beginingish.

The tiny blonde girl walked to the institute freezing cold, so she hugged her coat closer to her as she knocked the door of the institute. She was looking for her brother, Jace. She was 14 now, so he must be 16ish, she thought to herself. While wandering her mind began to wander, also.

The first time she had seen her brother she had been 12. He had been training with the Lightwoods while she was spying on him, the institute that she was staying at wanted to watch every training session as much as possible. Anyway, it was a dark rainy day the children were sparring, Alec and Isabelle against Jace. A two on one match. Taylor knew that she would've won if she was in Jace's place, easily, but Jace seemed to be having a hard time standing up against both of them. She was about to stand up when she felt a hand on her shoulder, it was her trainer, or as she called him, dad.

"Hey dad." She said while she looked at the face of Valentine.

"Taylor, could you too keep an eye on that blonde boy for me?"

"How?"

"Well, consider it your first mission. I want you to pretend to be lost and then get accepted into their Institute. Then get close to Jace."

"You mean you basically want me to spy on him."

Valentine smiled.

"Yes. Use your phone to text me everyday about what's going on. Is that okay?"

"Yea. Sure I guess. But, I want you to give me a little push." She said smirking.

Valentine nodded the drew his hand back and slapped her face, and then pushed her forward, toward the 3 children.

She watched them as she fell forward. They instantly stopped sparring and ran over.

"Who is that?"

"Is she a mudane?"

"Someone should get some help."

"Isabelle, can you go get mom?"

"Sure."

"Jace, help me pick her up."

When they leaned her against the wall she slid back letting he curly blonde hair cover half of her face. She felt somebody push it away. And then she heard somebody breathe out a deep breath.

"Jace, she looks just like you!"

She smiled at the memory. Suddenly, she felt something wrap around her feet, she looked down and saw Church. She followed him to Jace's room. He left and she knocked lightly on the door. He opened with a smirk on his face.

"You just aren't able to stay away from my sexiness have you?"

"Shut up. In case your forgot, WE ARE SIBLINGS." She said, while pushing past him into his freakishly neat room. She sat on his bed, while he closed the door and sat down on his blue chair.

"So you called?" she asked Jace.

"Yea, Maryse wanted to talk to you, but I to catch up with you first. So. What school are you going to now?"

"I have no idea, one with retarded uniforms and some place south of the city."

"Jace, Mom says come down for di- TAYLOR!" Isabelle said while opening the door, and then attacking her with a hug.

"Hey Izzy."

"Mom's waiting for you in the kitchen, Jace. And Taylor! I think she's gonna want you to stay for dinner."

"Sure." Taylor said while smiling and walking out with them.

When they got to the kitchen Alec and Max were already sitting at the table.

"TAYLOR!" both Max and Alec exclaimed at the same time, causing Maryse to turn around from the fridge.

"Hey guys." Taylor said smiling.

"Taylor, you must stay for dinner!" Maryse said. She nodded in agreement.

"Sure thing."

"OOF. I feel fat now." Taylor said while leaning against one of the library's couches.

"You're not fat." Maryse said while walking in, giving the others a sign telling them to 'go'.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Taylor asked.

"Well," Maryse started. "It's the Clave."

Taylor raised her eyebrow.

"What about them?" she asked curiously.

"They want to see if you can be truly trusted. So as a trust mission they are going to send you to Japan. There has been a lot of demon activity there. They thought you would be perfect for clearing up the problem, you up for it?" Taylor nodded slowly, stood up and left the room.

Taylor POV:

The moment I got off the plane I recognized the guy who the Clave told me to keep an eye on. Shigure Sohma. Apparently this guy lives in the woods, and spends his days writing manga and making little animals out of wood. Kinda creepy if you ask me. Anyway, I saw him talking to a shopkeeper about something, so I decided go into the small little shop. It was filled with a bunch of little toys. There were animal statues, calendars, books, shirts, basically anything that you would find in a Japanese airport store. I chose to "look" at the items closest to the two men, the animal statues. When I picked them up you could definitely tell they were hand made. You could see the brush strokes made by the small brushes, and they were just so darn cute!

"Look! Even that blonde American seems to be interested in them, so why are you telling me you can't take these!" Shigure said, while pushing the box toward the shopkeeper. He hesitated for a moment, but then he took it.

"Fine, Mr. Sohma, but you can only get 1/3 of the pay, I'm afraid that the business is getting a bit slow." The shopkeeper replied. I started to feel a bit guilty, I had made Shigure believe that I was interested in the animals, and he used it to convince the shopkeeper to take them from him, so I decided to take the cat, the rat, the dog, the cow, the tiger and the rabbit. And they cost a pretty decent price for handmade products. As I walked up to the two men I felt Shigure's eyes on me. The shopkeeper turned to me. I smiled brightly.

"Hi. Um, I was wondering if I could purchase these statues?" The shopkeepers eyes twinkled.

"Of course!"

He walked over to the corner, I followed him and Shigure followed me. (LOL CREEPY STALKER!)

"That will be $24.50." The shopkeeper said. I pulled out my wallet and pulled out $30.00.

"You can keep the change." I said.

"But…there's no need… really."

"No. I insist. Besides I really admire the handiwork of these adorable little things!" I said smiling again.

"Well," he said "Actually that's the guy who made all of these. Shigure! Why don't you escort her to her staying place! Is someone picking you up? Do you need a place to stay? Shigure, aren't Yuki and Kyo staying at their uncles place?"

"Ummm." I said while blushing.

"OH. You guys can go talk this out outside! I have another customer to help!" the shopkeeper said while walking to a girl looking at the shirts.

"Shall we?" Shigure asked.

I nodded. As we walked out I turned to the shopkeeper and waved. He smiled and waved back.

"So, do you need a ride to your staying place, or do you need a place to stay, because my place is perfectly free." This was it! My chance to get to know him better and keep an eye on him. Don't mess up Taylor, don't. I blushed and stuttered.

"Uh-I - y-yea. I'm sure I can find a taxi and ask him to give me the name of a cheap hotel." I looked into his eyes, while making mine big and round. He shook his head.

"No, your staying with me. How long will you need to be here?"

As long as it takes for me to figure out this towns secret.

SOOO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Good?

Bad?

Horrible?

Amazing?
