1: Welcome!
I don't own Fruits Basket and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to NightshadeRoses13. I kind of always wanted to write a fanfic about Fruits Basket but wanted to do an after story so tell me whatcha think so I can know whether I want to continue it or not.
I'm in my eighth period with my best friend Sam and Angel but as they babble about the latest party I look up from my desk and notice that Aaron walks in with his girlfriend taking my breath away but I feel a slap on my arm. I look at Angel and she snaps
"Really?! Amber he's taken since last year so get over him!" she yells but I can't help it. I shrug trying to stay calm because the Sohma's curse has been broken but have evolved that if we get too excited or if our emotions get way too high that we'll transform. I look back towards the paper I'm working on until Adrian comes and wraps his arms around my neck. He shakes me around making me laugh because he's a Sohma even though his last name's Fitch which is ironic because he transforms into a crow. I get him off of me and then the bell rings so our teacher walks in then everyone goes to their desks
"Alright class we'll be studying our DNA in class so everyone gets one." I look over to Angel in terror because Sohma's DNA reveals animal DNA so if anyone sees it they'll turn me in to the government. I'll have to join the curious and be on the run forever and-
"Amber! Call down! I'll rig the swab that way it doesn't show the animal DNA." I thank Angel because she's the only one that knows not even Sam does and he's my best guy friend. Once when we finish rubbing our saliva onto the cotton sticks she licks it then the teacher asks if he can show the class my sample so I hesitate but he shows it to the class on the microscope that's connected to the projector and he looks up at me.
"I didn't know you were related to Angel?" I nod because I can't lie but if I don't say anything it's not lying. After an agonizing 45 minutes the school day ends so I'm walking back to the Main House where I live when Adrian catches up with me.
"Why are you going home so early? I thought you hated going home early because of Aketo?" he asks but I re-shift my shoulder strap for my bag and look down.
"I do but I want Dad and Mom know that I survived another day without going detected. It's hard when your transformations trigger much faster." I snap with my fangs threatening to come out. He laughs making me hiss
"Calm down tiger, anyways well I'm gonna go out for a fly so can you do me a favor and drop this off to my room please?" before I can object he tosses me his school bag and he transforms into a crow and flies off. I roll my eyes and notice that he transformed without leaving his clothes behind. Awesome I have to get him to tell me how to do that later when he comes back, humph, if he comes back. I open the gates and walk in towards my parent's section of the main house and open the door and I smell Mom's cooking.
"Hello sweetheart how was school?" my dad asks from his newspaper as I stroll in.
"Tiring as usual," I flop down at the table and set my stuff in the corner. "Hey where's Uncle Kyo?" I ask making Dad's nose cringes and his whiskers emerge.
"Yuki she just wants to know;" Mom sings as the hissing of the oils burn.
"I know Tohru but still, he's with Akito;" I don't reply because lately he's been in trouble with him and Aketo terrifies me.
"How's my apprentice author doing?!" I look up and smile as Shigure hugs me. He smiles and sits down next to me with his hair a mix between salt and pepper.
"Yuki Ayame called and wanted to know if it was okay if he could make a new dress for Amber for the New Year's." Shigure informs making me look at Dad and give him my big pleading eyes. He narrows his eyes at me then eventually answers
"I suppose so, I'll call him later…" I hug him and he offers a small smile as my thick brown hair flies over him.
"Thanks Dad!" I kiss his cheeks making him laugh then he pushes me off. Mom comes over and serves us food but the phone rings, Mom answers it and a wave of dread crashes against her face, she covers the speaker part of the phone with her hand and motions me to come over. She mouths "Akito" making me gulp and I answer it
"Hello?" I ask then Akito snarls
"Is this Amber? Well who cares come over to my den now we have some things to discuss." He hangs up so I tell them that he summoned me which they all nod and I go over afraid of what's going to happen to me because we all know that he has a short fuse and a fowl mouth when he's mad at us.
Anyways that's it for now so tell me whatcha think ^.^
