Note: Okay, this idea follows along with the idea of my very first fanfiction, When Worlds Collide, only with Fruits Basket—two teenage girls with a major obsession get the shock of a lifetime when they find themselves in the world of their favorite Anime/Manga. But is it really all they ever dreamed of and more…? Cowritten with MrsBoogerSnooger.

Disclaimer: Come now, I obviously don't own Fruits Basket. For one thing, I can't draw worth anything! Anyhoo, onward to let the story speak for itself…

Whose Manga Is It, Anyway?

Chapter One: Witchcraft

"Okay, okay, it's finally late enough, come ON!" I squealed. My best friend, Izzy, and I had been hiding out in the tent in my backyard, clutching our Kyo cat plushies for dear life, waiting for the lights in the house to go off so that we could sneak into the woods behind my house and do something somewhat ridiculous but utterly exciting. We wanted to try to cast a "Find Love" spell, out of a witchcraft book that Izzy had brought over with her.

"Hang on, I can't find the rose quartz…" Izzy mused, thumbing through the various things in her suitcase.

"Just grab your whole spell box and chuck it in there for now!" I ordered. We had quite a walk ahead of us to get to the spot I had in mind. Sighing, Izzy did as I'd said and threw pretty much the contents of her entire spell box into the bag she was loading up for this spell.

"I'm a bit nervous…" I whispered as we unzipped the tent and climbed out into the quiet night. "I've never tried a spell before."

Izzy giggled at me. "The last time I did this spell, all it got me was a psycho… but this time we're going to do it right. We've got real rose quartz and actual seawater for the saltwater."

As we passed my garden, I plucked the best and prettiest of my red roses. "Not to mention a rose grown with as much love as a girl like me can give," I mused, fingering the petals.

"Oh, look," Izzy said, laughing. "I threw Kyo in here on accident… and your copy of book 16 of the manga…"

I glanced at her spell bag, and laughed nervously with her. "That's quite all right… just knowing we've got the Kyo plush makes me feel safer… oooh imagine if he was the one we conjured up for ourselves…"

"We're not conjuring someone up," Izzy disagreed. "We're just summoning love to come into our lives."

I sighed. "I know. But there just aren't any guys as sexy as Kyo here in the boring real world."

"Believe me," she said, "I know."

The rest of the way, we giggled about our insane fangirl crush on Kyo (Or sometimes Kyou) Sohma of Fruits Basket, our favorite manga and anime series.

"Tohru definently doesn't deserve him," Izzy stated determidely.

"I dunno," I said. "I think they'd be all right together… he needs her more than Yuki does, I think."

We continued the conversation until we got to the moonlit creek with just a patch of land I'd had in mind for our spell. "You ready?" Izzy asked, pulling out the ingredients with a grave look on her face.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I muttered, snatching the Kyo plush and hugging it for dear life. I was a bit pathetically afraid of the dark, and I was getting fairly freaked out. Izzy started to pull out the things we needed, muttering to herself as she did so.

"Two pieces of pink cloth… you've got the rose… here's the lavender oil… and ah-ha, two pieces of rose quartz!"

"Don't forget one Kyo plush and one copy of Furuba number 16!" I teased, pulling the book out, opening it to one of our favorite depictions of Kyo, and setting it out there just to be stupid.

"I dunno if we should leave that out… I don't want it to get wet or mess up the spell somehow."

I just looked at her blankly and we both giggled a bit more, dabbing the lavender oil behind our ears and wrapping our rose petals in the cloth as the book said. "Ready?" I asked, holding up my rose quartz.

"Ready," Izzy said, dipping hers in the saltwater and beginning to intone from the book.

"I cleanse and infuse this stone for my energy alone. Bring me the love I desire by the will of our higher power," we said in hushed voices together. I, for one, felt a bit silly, but also strangely afraid. Either I was insane, or the rose quartz was shining a bit more brightly than it should.

We moved to place the quartz in the cloth, and my hands shook as I tied my red ribbon around the package.

"Aphrodite, your power of love divine…" we began, but I stopped still in awe. "I...Izzy… th-th-the… manga… book…"

Although no wind was present, the pages were flipping rapidly and the book rose a good foot above the ground.

"Mini-tornado?" Izzy said weakly, staring as well. "Should we finish the spell…?"

I shook my head slowly, to find that my two pigtails were being picked up in the strange wind, an amazing force tugging me towards the book. Curiosity getting the best of me, I leaned forth to try and grab it from the wind (I also didn't want my expensive book getting thrown into the water by a freak wind). Izzy, I realized, was doing the same. Our hands hit the cover at the same time, and a great, pink flash of light blinded me for a few moments.

"Oof," Izzy whimpered, presumably from our impact with the ground. She was standing very shakily, looking around with wide eyes.

"Oh no," I said, following her gaze. "I've lost it… isn't that… but…"

For just a few yards away, unmistakably, was Shigure Sohma's house.

"I think we hit our heads… or perhaps we've been knocked out and I'm only dreaming…" I said, falling into my habit of nervously speaking a lot. Izzy was blinking rapidly and shaking slightly.

"Oh lord," she said suddenly. "We're in our pajamas!"

I blushed and attempted to somehow cover up my pink short shorts and tank top, thanking the currently present stars for the fact that I'd been wearing a bra. No matter what was going on, I didn't want my breasts flopping to the world.

"What are we going to do!? I don't speak Japanese… maybe we've just somehow ended up in Japan and that's not really Shigure's house, just one that looks like it!"

I felt like I might cry. "Izzy-boo… I wanna go hoooooooome!" I wailed, flailing my arms like a child. "My butt hurts!"

Completely spontaneously, we both burst into laughter, laughing until tears came out of our eyes.

End note: Well, ta-dah! Chapter one is complete! I know the Fruits Basket characters aren't actually present yet, but don't worry, they will be soon enough! Hope you enjoyed this chapter and can look forward to the next one! Reviews, please?
