Yay! This is my first ever fruba fic and I'm sooooo excited. I'm not sure how their school system works, but this is my story and it will be how I want it. To any of those who will actually take the time to read this and my story, thank you very much. Now…on with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not (but would very much like to) own Fruits Basket, but I do own my OC whose name you will learn shortly.
The New School
"Your guide will be here shortly, okay sweetie? You can sit over there while you're waiting," the secretary said. Lilith gave her a small smile, mumbled a 'thanks', and sat in the small cushy chair by the office door. She ran her fingers over the Brail lettering on her schedual. She was told that classes would be over by the time her tour of the school was finished. She sighed. 'Why did my dad just have to move during my last year of high school? (mental sigh) Not like I could have done anything to make him change his mind when I can't even see him,' Lilith thought as the door opened quietly. She heard light footsteps heading to the secretary. They talked in hushed voices. Eventually the older woman pointed to Lilith, and the intruder made his way over to her. She stood and dipped her head in a respectful bow in the direction she had heard him coming from.
"Hello, my name is Lilith Izu. I'm the new student," she told the silver haired boy. He smiled lightly.
"Hello Miss Izu, my name is Yuki Sohma. It's a pleasure to meet you," he said.
"Oh, no. The pleasure is all mine," she said quickly. She looked back up and held out her hand. She could feel his questioning gaze upon her.
"I'm blind so I need someone to guide me around the school. I was told I would have a guide and I presume you are he?" she said quietly.
"Oh, sorry. Well, we should be going now," Yuki said as he took her hand and walked out the door. He brought her in front of each classroom to let her run her fingers over the sign, and he would explain who the teachers were and what books to bring. She felt a nagging in the back of her head, like something was off about the man who was leading her around the school. Maybe it was his tone of voice. It sounded sad to her, but she was sure that even he himself could not hear it.
"…and that's it," Yuki finished. They now stood in the courtyard outside of the school building. A light breeze picked up.
"Sohma-kun, may I ask you something? You don't have to answer the question if you don't want to," Lilith said shyly.
"What is it that you would like to ask me Miss Izu?" Yuki asked, his voice still the same tone. She could almost feel him forcing a smile onto his face.
"Why…why is it…that you're so sad?" she asked. He stood there, smile gone, and completely shocked at what she had just asked.
"I know it sounds strange, but I can hear your sadness. I hear it as you speak, every word, every sentence. Even if you don't realize it, it's there and even if I'm the only one who can hear it, I just wanted to let you know," she said. Silence was the only thing that met her ears. Sensing that he was clearly uncomfortable by the position he was put in by her question, she decided it was best to leave now.
"I'm sorry Sohma-kun. I didn't mean to put you on the spot or make you feel uncomfortable. I'll go now," Lilith said as she turned to leave. Yuki stood there, watching her walk away, too stunned to say anything. The bell rang. Students poured out of the school, obscuring her from his sight. He sighed, and left for home.
