Dear Riceball,
I'm glad to hear that you found a place to live. Truly, it's nice to see that after everything the world,
in all it's COSMIC power, has thrown at you, you've come out living happily.
I actually have some good news of my own. My father got transferred, along with a nice promotion,
so I'll be moving back! I should be there in time to start school right after break.
Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that our new estate is right next to one owned by the "Ohsma's".
Still, it doesn't sound quite right, so I could be mistaken.
Hopefully, we can see each other very soon. I would love it if I could meet your new friends too.
They sound like quite the bunch. Especially this Shigure character, he's an odd one. Ha ha, a novelist? You really are a riceball.
That man is no "novelist". My dear little riceball, so naive.
That should be all. Hope to see you soon, Tohru!
With love,
Plum
"Miss Honda, do you have a moment?" Yuki asked, his chivalry crossing over into even the smallest detail.
"Of course! Is something wrong, Yuki?"
"Not at all, Miss Honda. We seem to have some new neighbors, more or less.
It's a fair walk to their property, but I was going to go welcome them.
I was wondering, if you have the time, whether you wanted to accompany me?"
"Oh! That must be Plum!" Tohru exclaimed, excitement oozing from her words.
"Plum?"
"Yes! She was a friend of mine when we were little! We were as close as Hana and Uo and I are now!
I mean, Plum is just a nickname. She got it when we all played this game. It was called Fruits Basket.
I was always the riceball, I guess it was because I was different, and she was always the plum.
I think it's because her hair is a dark purple color, just like a plum! I can't wait for you meet her!"
"Well, any friend of yours, Miss Honda, is a friend of mine. Shall we go?"
"Absolutely!"
With that, the two went off in search of their plum.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, nor do I assume any ownership over the characters of Fruits Basket.
A/N: I hope we're off to a good start. I have a tendency to just delete my stories at the drop of a hat, but
I do hope this is the exception. I would love to actually take this one past a few chapters. ^^
Anywho, please review, as it would be much appreciated.
Next Chapter: Plum is introduced, and given her proper name. It shall definitely be much longer than this one,
as this is basically an introductory chapter.
