Fruit's Basket Story: A golden feather…

Note: This is my first story, so if anything needs to be fixed, please tell me! I'm not really used to using Writing Abbreviations, so... Please Enjoy! BTW, I'll be using my own Character/s...

A/N: I had to re-edit this. I found the high-school name, in Book 2. Have you seen how much he EATS? And he stays so skinny... I'm also gonna make this longer. I made the Principals name up, cos I dunno what it is. I also changed the nickname... She gets the nickname 'Nightingale' later in this chapter.

On with the story...

"..." is Talking, '...' is Thinking and *...* is Sound Effects.

Aika sighed, as she sat on a tree. Her delicate, long brown and blue tresses flew in the wind. If you were passing by, you'd think it'd be a piece of ragged silk. Having a look at her watch, she rolled her eyes.

'Time to see if I passed Entrance Exams or not.' The mail always came 2:00 pm. If later, then 2:30. The mailman was always on time. She opened her apartment door.

Her lucky number, 15, was engraved on the key. Her key chain consisted of a dangly Onigri, with a tinier version below. She had a similar one, which was a Panna Cotta pudding, with strawberry sauce, and whipped cream. Beneath was a strawberry. This explained her passion for Kawaii things.A Treble Clef paired with a Bass Clef was also displayed, Expressing her love for music.

Opening the mail door, (BTW, her mailbox is like that one in the Madagascar Bonus Christmas Movie. The one Granny had, 'Member?) she gently slid out the clean, crisp envelope. (I know this is stupid, but I'm making up my own 'Entrance Exams thing. IDK why, but it's fun somehow...OK. I should stop making comments...)

She took out the paper, which read...

To: Miss Aika Fumiko Kaneko

Congratulations!

You have passed the tests into:

Kaibara Public High School

You will be starting school on:

28/3/11

Signed, Yoshida, Fumio

Smiling, she took the larger box, which contained her uniform. Aika checked the calendar. The 28th was tomorrow! 'Seems that I'll be starting school earlier, than I expected...'

The moon was shining brightly, radiating in the deep, dark, pitch-black sky. She changed into Monkey P.J's (KAWAII!), which was a top and shorts, and climbed under the doona. Aika closed her eyes, and smiled.

~The Next Morning~

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!* *Ai-chan! Pwease get wup!* (Ai-chan! Please get up!) She just groaned. *If chu don't get up, Kitty wiw be WAD!* (If you don't get up, Kitty will be SAD!) Suddenly, the Nyan Cat started playing. XD The alarm clock was a massive kitty head, with two BULGING eyes.

It had sparkles, and looked similar to Nyan Cat. Only, it's head was big enough to actually tip it's whole body over. She had placed a collar on it, which had the name 'Fluffy Huggy Buggy' painted in big, flashy colours. The Nyan Cat song ended, leaving the room in SILENCE.

In addition to wake her up, the sunshine broke through the window, shining it's flamboyant light on Aika. AKA Sleepyhead. Just for extra measure. 'I'm up, I'm up...' Rolling over, she looked at the time. It read 6:00am. School starts 7:45.'I'm on time...'

She pulled the covers over, and stretched her arms. She opened another door, climbing into the Bathroom. Aika stripped, pulling the towel on the bathtub. (She has a bath-tub and a shower.) She slowly turned the taps...

Cold water splashed on her, officially waking her up. "EEEIII!" She squealed. The cold water had a sensation on her. Aika then turned the other plug. The cold water transformed into hot water.

'That's better...' She loved the feeling of hot water on her skin. She shampooed and conditioned her hair, ending with soaping her body. Sighing, Aika turned off the shower. 'It was nice while it lasted...' She pulled on her bra and undies, applying lotion herself.

It was summer, so the uniform was white. (Heat bounces off white, whilst black traps the heat. That's why the Winter uniform is black.) She pulled on the skirt, socks and shoes. Aika brushed her hair, and looked at the mirror. 'Wow. The skirt is rather short though...'

She had been given the short skirt. The schedule and books/bag had been included. Aika packed her bento box* and other essential accessories in her bag. Aika grabbed the schedule and books, neatly ordering the items in her bag. She slung her bag on her shoulder, her book bag in her hand.

Aika had researched the way to school. It was only a 10 min walk.

*DING! DING!* Aika had arrived at the hallway, but was having trouble finding her class. Suddenly, she she found a group of students, round about her age. (This is where I am placing Momiji and Haru.)

A girl noticed her, and smiled. "Oh, Hello! Are you new!" "Um, Yes." "Do you want me to show you around?" Aika's prayers had been answered. "That would be nice." "My name is Tohru Honda! You are...?" "Aika Kaneko."

"Great! These are my friends! Uotani, Hana, Yuki, Kyo, Momiji and Haru!" She pointed to a Yankee (It was obvious), A Goth Girl, A Silver-Purplish hair guy, and Carrot-Head, A Cross-Dressing Kawaii Boy and a Multi-Coloured hair Rebel. (XD I Nicknames...)

Hair wasn't a problem, since her own hair was unique. Tohru looked at Aika's schedule. "Yes! We're in the same class! Oh, except for 4th period. But, still! Yay!" She cheered.

Aika smiled. "Are any of you relatives?" "Yes. How did you know?" Yuki was surprised. "Hair. Personalities." She pointed it out. "I guess that's true." Yuki responded. Momiji bounced up and down.

"Rabbit." Everyone froze. (Except for Uotani and Hana.) "You're like a rabbit. Always smiling and jumping." Everyone sighed. "Guys, we need to get to class! Pronto!"

Tohru looked at her watch. (I thought she didn't have one... Oh well.) Aika followed a frantic Tohru. Today was starting off great...

FF

"Class. I would like you to meet Aika Kaneko. She is a new student to 1-D. Any words Aika?" "Yes. Hi, and it's great to be here. I can't wait to meet you all." Aika smiled warmly. "Aika, please sit next to Tohru and Momiji." (I know Momiji and Haru are not in the same class as Tohru and others.)

"Hi Aika!" Momiji and Tohru whispered in chorus. "Hi." She smiled back. "Class. Open your English Books to page 109." And so, the ever so boring lesson began. Surprisingly, Aika seemed to excel in this subject.

Time flew by, and 4th period had arrived. "Let's see... I have Music!" Aika cheered. "Yay! I have music with Aika!" Momiji was bouncing. "We'll see you guys later." She waved to the others.

The musical duo arrived, to hear the sweet music playing. A violinist, 2 flute players, 2 singers, A chello player and a harp player were all playing music. One of the flute players looked up. "Hi Momiji! Hi Aika!" (She was in 1-D)

"Hi!" Momiji went over, and picked up a violin. "Hey, Aika. What's your instrument?" "Piano, Guitar, Drums, Saxaphone and Singing." Everyone stared at her. "You sure play a lot of instruments." "Yeah." "Play something for us!" Momiji gave Aika his irresistible, watering kawaii bunny eyes.

"Alright." Aika walked over to the massive, grand piano. She brought out a book, containing the piece for 'Fall for You' By Secondhand Serenade.

She played the beginning note, starting to sing along.

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When your asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

When she finished, a crowd had gathered. "WOO! GO NIGHTINGALE!" Momiji was screaming. "Nightingale?" Aika looked at him. "It's because of you voice." One of the singers complimented.

The crowd soon was ushered away by the teacher. "That was beautiful, Aika Kaneko. We have a concert coming up. We need a lead-singer and a pianist. We you like to be offered the job?" "I would love to." Aika smiled warmly.

One of the singers scowled. "Um. What's with her?" Aika whispered to Momiji. "Oh, Hoshi? See, she wanted that role for herself. She's VERY self-centered." Aika sweatdropped.

Suddenly, Hoshi walked over to her. "You think you're so fantastic, getting the spotlight for yourself, huh? You do, Dontcha! Heh, You're just a plain, old, stupid Baka. You-"

"Hoshi, that's Enough." The teacher glared at her. "I chose Aika for a reason. You DO NOT put down any more students, understand?" "Yes Miss." Hoshi scowled again. She looked SERIOUSLY annoyed.

Teacher looked at her watch. "You have free time for 15 mins, before you go to the next class. Have fun." Everyone introduced themselves.

"Hi! My name is Kotone! I play the Harp." "I'm a violinist. Name's Natsumi, Nice to meet ya." "I'm Jun. The other singer. You're like my rolemodel!" "Hello. I am Ayaka. The flute player." "HI! IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU! I PLAYING THE CHELLO! OH, MY NAME IS ETSUKO!" "Kazuko. It's nice to know another person is enjoying music, as much as we are." 'She reminds me of Yuki...' Aika thought.

"Oh. And that is Hoshi. As you already know." Everyone backed away from her scary aura. "Why don't we all play?" Kotone suggested. "All right!" Everyone grabbed their instrument. "Turn to page 11! The piano is the main part!" Everyone had fun, and soon, the school day ended.

"Nice meeting you, everyone!" Aika waved to her musical friends. "You too!" Aika and Momiji joined Tohru, Yuki, Kyo and Haru. "Where's your apartment, Miss Kaneko?" Yuki asked Aika. "My apartment is down south. Near the grocery store." "How funny. Our house is near there."

"Do you wanna come over, Aika? Please, Please, PLEASE!" Momiji bounced up and down, with a lollipop in his mouth. "Well, if it's okay with everyone else." "We're good." Everyone chorused. "YAY! AIKA'S COMING OVER!" Momiji was screaming. Aika sweat dropped.

The 6 arrived at Shigure's door. "Hellooooooo! Ooooo! A High school girl, None the less!" Shigure smiled in her face. 'Lord, Help me...' She thought. "Shigure. She's a guest." Haru turned his head. "I'll go make dinner! It's kinda late." Tohru rushed into the kitchen.

"You're still in your uniform." "RIGHT!" There was a blur, as Tohru worked in the kitchen. Everyone played Rich Man, Poor Man. Kyo lost. After the game, dinner was prepared. Time seemed to speed up.

"Thanks for letting me come over." Aika smiled. "Se you tomorrow at school!" Tohru smiled back. Aika walked through the city. She ended up going to a lat night convenience store.

She bought Multi-Flavour pocky. (Is there such a thing? Don't correct my spelling, such as Mum or Colour, cos I'm Aussie.) Chewing it slowly, Aika opened her apartment door. She walked out onto the balcony.

Aika looked at the moon, brightly shining. It was free, just as Aika wanted to be. 'Mum, Dad. I've just had the best day ever.'

Yay! I've done the first chapter! It's 6 pages... Please Review!
