Summary: What happens if you mix summer vacation, Fruits Basket, randomness, and CABBAGES? Natsu Basket! This is the story of the craziest summer ever experienced by the FB cast.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket or any of the characters. Only this story. I really hope you knew that, or else I'd be scared. oO
Anyway, welcome to my first fanfic ever! That I'm publishing, anyway. You should of seen some of my others they are HI-LAR-EE-OUS! Ah-ha-ha-ha. There is this one guy, he read it, and boy, did he-
Everybody: Ahem.
Oh. Okay, sorry about that. That just tells you about my tendency to get off topic and go into random things. Without further ado, I present to you...Natsu Basket.
Natsu Basket!
Chapter 1 – Cabbages, Bananas, and Cookies...Oh my!
It was summer vacation! The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the cool breeze gently rustled the leaves from the shady trees. What could spoil such a beautiful day? Nothing! Let's take a peek inside the Sohma's home...
"MAN, THIS SUCKS!" Kyo raged chucking a cabbage at Yuki's head (he ducked). "I DON'T WANT THIS DAMN CABBAGE, OKAY?"
Um...forget what I said that last part. There is one thing that can spoil such a beautiful day, and that is the orange cat/person who needs anger management, Kyo. I won't even begin to tell you why he and Yuki are fighting over cabbages, but if you want, I'll tell you anyway...
Flashback
"Yay! It's lunchtime!" Tohru exclaimed ditzily from the kitchen. "Let's have a PICNIC!"
"That sounds good, Honda-san." Yuki said mysteriously and gave her one of his just-plain-CREEPY smiles.
"OKAY!" she replied, obviously not noticing this at all.
"WHAT? I don't want no damn pic-" Kyo began to say, but was cut short by a whirling mass of green leaves that whacked him on the head.
"Don't," Yuki said, holding up another random cabbage that he swiped from the kitchen table, "begin that stupid bickering again." Then he smiled and added, "Baka neko."
"ARRGH!" Kyo screamed, threw the cabbage back at Yuki, and this is where we end today. Well, it WAS today at that time, but then, now it is still today, so that means that what happened was that today-
End Flashback
"It's going to be a wonderful day!" Tohru said, having not noticed any of the cabbage battle.
"Where's Shigure?" Yuki said, now through with throwing objects of produce around at orange cat people.
"He's sleeping. Stayed up all night on that novel again." Tohru said sadly, although it really wasn't that tragic.
However, all the noise did wake him up, so now he's...awake. So yeah!
"What's all the noise?" Shigure said, half-asleep. "I was just...having...a..." With that, he walked over to the couch and fell asleep. I didn't know what just really happened, but yeah! He's in the same room!
Tohru (man, how OBLIVIOUS can you get?) happily started making some onigiris and boiled cabbage. I just had to add the cabbage to this story. So stupid...
Wearily, Kyo got up and picked up the remote. He turned on the TV. It was blank. "Strange...he muttered. "How could it..."
There was suddenly a loud crashing sound outside. Shigure jerked awake, Yuki tripped, and Kyo accidently threw the remote which hit him on the head. Oh, and Tohru actually noticed (!) and dropped the head she was holding (no, not a human head, a head of cabbage! Geez! Okay, I'll stop obsessing over cabbage now. )
There was a pause. Finally, Kyo spoke.
"What the hell was THAT?"
There was three polite knocks on the door. Shigure went to get it, since he though he knew who it probably was. And he was right. It was...
Ayame?
"AYA! What brings you here to a wonderful home today, my love?" Shigure exclaimed, practically hyperventilating with happiness.
"Only to bring joy and fun to all those around me, O Gure-san!" Ayame replied overdramatically, flinging his coat which landed on Kyo's head.
"And destruction." Yuki remarked peering outside.
Shigure looked, and saw that there WAS some minor destruction. Ayame's car seemed to have crashed into a trashcan, which spun right into the wall of his house, leaving a small dent, so it's all fine!
Well, that's what HE saw. What everybody else saw was a beaten up little car imbedded in the opposite room's wall, and a satellite dish that had fallen on top of it.
"Oh, that's fine!" Tohru said interrupting the uncomfortable silence, except for the sound of Kyo ripping the coat into shreds. "I've got cookies!" As if that solved everything.
At the sound of the word cookies, Momiji bounced out from Ayame's car from the other room and exclaimed, "I WANT SOME, I WANT SOME!" He threw his bag of bananas that he had brought along, which also hit Kyo on the head. Except for the fact that it hurt a lot more than Ayame's coat.
"Momiji!" Yuki said surprised. "YOU were in AYAME's car?"
"Uh-huh." he replied, as he was Momiji and didn't care how close to death he was at that point, with Kyo standing there with a huge welt on his head clutching a iron mallet and all.
With that, they all ate cookies! With strawberry icing and chocolate chips! Yay!
Shigure laughed. "Boy, is Hatori gonna blow his top when he hears of this! I better stay out of this madness." He took a cookie.
"Aw, not even Hatori can be that mean!" Ayame chuckled. "It's just a little crack." He indicated the wall. Kyo glared at him, but stayed silent.
"How can friends be mad with each other for a little thing like this?" Shigure gasped, taking another cookie. "Momiji seems very happy. Not even a scratch!"
Yes, he was happy alright. Hyper too. He was on his fifth cookie.
"YayYayYaythesecookiesaresogreatIwantanothercanIcanIcanITohru?" Momiji yelled waaaay too loudly.
"Sure, Momiji-kun! I made them ALL for my friends to share!" Tohru replied with upside-down U eyes.
"YAY!" Momiji said again.
"Those cookies are delicious!" Shigure exclaimed, taking yet another cookie.
"EXCUSE ME, but it's all Ayame's fault that I can't watch TV now!" Kyo screamed suddenly. "God, you even didn't tell us why you are even here, dammit! And what's with the bananas?"
"Oh, I didn't tell you?" Ayame gasped. "I am so ashamed! How can I have gotten so low?" he cried, striking a dramatic pose. "I've arranged a surprise summer beach party for ALL of you! Right now! Let's go!"
There was a silence. Finally, Tohru spoke.
"Want a cookie, Kyo-kun?"
And so begins the worst Sohma summer every encountered...in a basket!
Kyo's Korner!
I know, lame first chapter, right? I'M JUST GETTING THE HANG OF IT! Geez! Oh well, here's Kyo's Korner, where our favorite cat shall discuss important issues concerning general welfare. Just kidding. Our favorite cat shall be yelling and screaming random topics of total boredom. And your questions too!
Since no one has asked a question yet, I shall do the honors.
Koneku: What do you hate more, Leeks or Cabbages?
Kyo: WHAT KIND OF STUPID QUESTION IS THIS? Of course leeks! ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?
Koneku: -grr- Okay, Kyo, if you can have one wish, what would it be? Besides beating Yuki in a fight?
Kyo: Um...-goes to a corner to think- I've never thought...but maybe...I'd like...not really...hmm...
Koneku: Okay, fine, forget that last part.
Kyo: TO BEAT YUKI IN A FIGHT, OF COURSE!
Koneku: I think I've had enough of meaningless discussion with Kyo.
This had been Kyo's Korner! See you next time!
By the way, they won't be at the beach for the entire fanfic...it's on the whole summer, remember...-shifty eyes-
Bai!
